Had the same thought! Honestly, your right about TV. I'm more for internet shows like hulu and youtube. I'm just saying go watch an episode of "Off the Air" while dosed. It will

Commercials hurt my brain too.
Also, camping is the shit.

Ok I'll be controversial and say I don't like the camping/mushroom combo - I'm worried enough about something happening/getting walked in on tripping at home with my phone off, in the middle of nowhere on a decent dose I can only imagine my mind would go straight to worst case scenario! The only time I've tried it the guy I was with freaked out and we left...

Personally, that's precisely why I love it. Tripping in the woods, close to nature, with no cops, no relatives, no annoying straight folk who will glare at you when they see your huge pupils and wide grin. It's my ideal scenario! 
Also: Artificial darkness in a room is scary... but real darkness in the forest is real, and alive. I embrace it!

I think camping and tripping would only be cool with a sitter or two, for mental security. I'd be kinda weary of the random people and animals like previously stated. Or worse case scenario my mind gets the thought of camp looters in my head lolol. And with TV for me, it's either the most amazing thing ever, or uncomfortable and confusing, there's no in between. Sometimes sitting in a near-pitch black room in silence, or even with music, is as amazing as it gets. But when I get comfortable in a trip it takes a lot to veer me off the positive path.

really don't like much technology while tripping, it seems like it's not worth the hassle. I usually have a music playlist already set up so I don't even have to deal with that.

If you find yourself staring at the TV while you're tripping, then that means you're tripping too much. I've been there. It's late, everybody left and you're stuck alone with nothing to do, still tripping. By force of habit you turn the TV on.
If you're tripping the right way, not abusing it, then you want nothing to do with TV, computer, smartphone, etc.. all that stuff is turned off or tucked away somewhere. The psychedelic experience is a return to the beginning, a return to nature. A return to place where we see this artificial crap that fills our lives as a joke. A bazaar, fascinating joke.

It was great It was uncensored and I think there might've been an extra song but I'm not quite sure. I think that's the only time I've ever taken pleasure in a dvd extra

I hate TV and technology in general when on psychedelics although I did have fun playing Mario once. Other than that, Id rather be outside under the stars.

I don't really like TV while I'm tripping. On the come down is ok. But on shrooms if I start on a movie or go to it while im peaking things get odd.
I remember doing shrooms with my girlfriend for the first time we tried watching Ted. It wasn't very funny high, and the sound was so distorted and slow-mo I couldn't pay attention properly, but I had to because I was fucked up. Pretty odd experience.

I can not stand to have a tv playing while I'm tripping. It just takes away from my trip. I really like to just lay back and close my eyes, or getting myself set up with colored pencils (or markers) and some paper. I love to draw while tripping. *GoodTimes*

You can't beat being outside. Maybe on the hillside just laying down looking through the trees and up into the stars. *GoodTimes*

Iv watched TV a few times while on shrooms. The last time I did I watched adventure time and I really had no idea what was going on. More than usual anyway

I used to watch t.v. and play video games all the time while tripping, Especially at the end of the trip.

When tripping on acid and watching TV I noticed little things that you would never notice sober. For example certain editing, and one time I caught a glimpse of ONE FRAME that had been edited into the show... 'twas weird.

Offcourse it's totally different for each person.
For me its no TV too.. Allthough we always make sure to have laptop hooked up to one. Good music pared with a muted episode of BBC's earth or life series is a great way to start/end a trip and provides excellent eyecandy during.

I think I was watching the discovery channel and the 1 frame that was edited in was of this Asian guy that looked really creepy... he had like bags under his eyes but I'm still not sure if that was just because I was tripping or if he did really look like that. The image stuck with me the whole trip though.
It really does seem like there's subliminal messages in the media. Mostly it seems like it's directed towards consumerism. Buy this product, you look good if you look like this, etc. It's extremely noticeable to me when I'm tripping.
