How do you guys find time for tripping?

Right now, my job is seriously interfering with my drug use. I work full time at a demanding job and when I get home I am very tired and can barely take care of the simplest things like making dinner and doing the dishes.
THe weekends are the only time I have to rest/get other things done and that makes it very hard for me to find time to trip. LAst time I took cactus, it lasted 17 hours and I still felt out of it and exhausted the whole next day. Today I was planning to take mushrooms from my first grow, but I am so tired I feel like I would rather just go back to bed.
It sucks having to almost force myself to trip, since I only have a very small window to do it in and I generally dont even feel like doing it when that time actually comes because Id rather rest/take care of some of the many other things I need to care of.

I have the same problem during the winter with my job. But luckily have lots of free time in the summer. Do u get paid vacation? I always find vacation time to be the best setting
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Yea it's pretty hard to find time when you have a full time job plus a gf plus the shroomery I wish I knew all those drugs and their potential when I was a bum 
For now it's pretty much dmt evening with the gf and friends couple every week or so and once in a while when I really need it shroom alone on a Saturday . The gf understands . Acid in the morning during the weekend can be nice too with a couple budies.
If I take it at night and by exemple go to sleep at like 4 am I'm basically fucked for the rest of the week. Really sucks , the addict spun life is definitly over for me ,I don't even know how I was doing it back then

Lemon Tek/Tea.
I take care of chores during the day. Dose around 3 or 4pm. Meditate/exercise on the come up. By 8pm I'm starting to come down and will smoke a bowl and eat something. By midnight I'm asleep.
Cactus would be an all day thing and need to be taken in the morning. Definately takes more time and planning.

I dont get paid vacation. I decided against shrooming today, I am just too tried. I think I am going to do a night trip tonight, which means I won't sleep, but if I can get some things done today and maybe take a nap I will be able to sleep a little tomorrow and then get to bed early tomorrow night. While not ideal, that should work out all night.

Even lemon tek, if I take a strong dose, its going to keep me awake 10-12 hours which means if I took at 4 pm I probably wouldnt be able to sleep til 4 or 5 am.

Occasionally I take Valium to help fall asleep. Generally though I just don't worry about it as stressing about sleep seems to be what feeds most of my insomnia.
My usual dose is between 3 and 6 grams with 4-5 being most common.
I also trip about 2-4 times a month and occasionally take additional small doses (0.5 - 1g) before bed for headaches. So maybe I'm just used to sleeping on them.

Wow, you can sleep on a gram? Any amount of shrooms is guaranteed to keep me awake at least 6 hours. Maybe I need to get used to it.
I use to get kept up all night when using aminitas but eventually learned to sleep on them, which is also a great thing because one time I was having a bad trip, went to bed, and woke up sober several hours later feeling fine. Great method for avoiding bad trips, which it worked on psilos.

I wish I had more time to trip. I'm connected to so many people and things, it's hard to just get a couple hours when someone doesn't expect something from me. Sometimes when I get sick, like a mild cold, I play it up so that people just leave me alone. Some forced time off. There you go - Fake a sickness so you get some alone time. Although.. that might haunt you while you're tripping. OMG, they're gonna know I'm not really sick.. I'm doomed. People are mad at me, i'm gonna get fired.

I used to think that sleeping on psychs was impossible but the first time I took a heroic dose I was really tired. I drifted off on six and a half grams. Just for a few minutes but it really changed my expectations.
That and I try not to worry too much about not getting a full night's sleep, as worrying about not sleeping tends to keep me awake. It's a mental game I play with myself.

Yeah, I am just going to rest as much as I can today and then forget about sleeping because sometimes a trip can be a life changing experience and that is more significant than missing some sleep.
This will be my first time tripping on home grown mushrooms and I am really excited, which is why I didnt trip this morning. Just wasn't feeling it, and did not want to take a strong dose of mushrooms when I didnt even feel like tripping.
Now I am much more in the mood to trip and cant wait for tonight to come. Hopefully I will have time to set some things up for a trip.
What dose would you guys suggest? I obviously dont know the potency, but I as thinking about 4 or 5 grams dry. My previous highest dose was 5 grams but that wasn't even close to my hardest trip, which was on 3.5 grams of penis envy and was much stronger than the 5 gram trip.

Potency can really be all over the place especially with MS. You could take four grams today and trip twice as hard as you will off five grams a month from now.
So just use your intuition and I'll send you some good vibes
