Watching TV tripping

Hi everyone!
So i've noticed that everytime I trip, I can't seem to focus on a tv if it's on or even my phone! I just rather lay down, relax and close my eyes or stare at something. Anyone else experience the same thing?
-------------------- Keep moving forward

Whenever I trip I can never watch any kind of digital screen for some reason. It's always blurry and kind of shifts just out of my eyesight so it's hard to concentrate.

I really don't like to watch TV during a trip. I mostly like to listen to music, and keep technological contact to a minimum

I avoid television when I'm tripping, it just sends out bad vibes. Commercials and cops and lockup just doesn't go well with tripping for me I also turn off my phone because calls and texts are just plain stressful. I just don't like technology much, and when I'm tripping it's pretty much the last thing I want to deal with. It just doesn't fit in well with the headspace for me. Thousands of years of mushroom cults got by just fine without them, so can I!
But one time I watched the live play version of The Nightman Cometh and I think that was the best moment of my life All downhill from here

The only TV I'm interested in while tripping is my Attenborough collection and that's only usually once I'm coming down.
I bet documentaries on space would be neat, too.

Tv is nice if you have a stable trip. Most of the time I feel like laying and listening to music, but once I stabilize I can watch tv. I usually watch it before and while waiting for it to hit.... But then I have to run away from it because it's f*cking with my head so much..... then I throw up, but it's all good after that usually.

This is one of the few good reasons to watch television.

Samsara, Baraka, those are some great watches while in an altered state. The newer seasons of Futurama on Netflix is pretty much really trippy (the episode "mobius Dick" was really neat).

Yes indeed. I watched "How the Universe Works" on LSD and it was mindblowing!
But yeah, sometimes it is hard to watch TV. It's probably because it's so mindless unless you have a documentary or something. I like to watch it towards the end of my trip though.
I just remembered this. One time I was on acid and I sat down and watched TV for about 10 minutes. Then I realized I never turned it on.

Watching TV on mushrooms = wasting mushrooms
And Samsara and the like are trying to replicate the visions/feelings of tripping, why bother watching them whilst experiencing the real thing!
Reminds me of the time I put on Hendrix at Woodstock while drinking 'tea'....15 minutes later I turned it off and went to lie down and watch the real show...

Eh to each his own. I think that there are plenty of neat things to ponder when certain media is own whilst I trip.

I avoid TV while trippin as well. The commercials on television hurt my brainz when I am sober, I can't imagine how they would effect me on psychedelics. Movies are distratcing and confusing when I am tripping. They tend to detract from my trips-- I avoid them as well unless I am on the comedown and need to turn my mind off for a bit.

I disagree, and challenge you to an arrow-themed duel!
