How to find friends

How's everyone's night going? (Day depending where you are at). I just recently was introduced into the whole mushroom experience..a bit later in life I just turned 28. I can count on one hand the amount of people I know that like to trip. I'd like to get to know more people that trip and do it for the spiritual purpose of connecting with the universe and getting to know yourself on a deeper level. The friends I know just do it for fun and that's not what I'm looking for.
My question is how do you find friends? I've read posts about going to festivals. I'll admit I know nothing about them. I live in the philly, pa area and would like to know how to meet more people like myself in either ny, nj, pa, or md area. Any advice where to start would be much appreciated. Sending positive energy to all.

Check out shows that draw psychedelic users (Grateful dead cover bands, edm, whatever strokes your folk), events like Horizons for psychedelic research, local chapters of dancesafe, students for sensible drug policy, etc.

I've only found friends at work. But everyone knows, deep down, we are all truly alone.

There is this really sketchy after hours club that I go to from time to time.
I've met so many people there who share my passion for drugs.
Basically, all I ever do with my friends now is take drugs.
I don't hang out with any friends who are straight edge because to me just sitting around and chatting, playing video games, drinking coffee etc is super fucking boring if drugs aren't involved.
Just meet people at clubs like these and ask them if they trip. If they say yes, tell them you want to trip with them sometime. I always ask straight up after I get their number and they say yes pretty often, especially if you invite them to your place to trip.
Hell, I even ask people at my university straightup if they do drugs. If they say yes, wonderful, it means an opportunity for me to trip with someone new. If they say no, wonderful, it means I wouldn't want to be their friend in the first place.
Tripping with other people is a mixed bag though. Sometimes it's wonderful, sometimes it's awkward. But it's almost always an exciting experience.

yeah I wouldn't really want to get in new situations with people tripping..I wouldn't really worry about myself..I'd more likely be worried about them doing something stupid, cause attention, arrest, hurt themselves, or hurt me.

I get enjoyment from that uncertainty though. To me, it makes the experience more exciting.
It's like here we are, two people trying a chemical substance for the first time together. What will our trip be like? Will any of us panic? What will we experience together? How will our perceptions of each other change? What personal things will we tell each other? Will any of us vomit?

Well, it'll never become gay, because I'm not gay.
And no drug has ever made me feel gay either.

LOL @ zzzz saying my post is suspicious. Sounds like you might be paranoid high right now which is fine we've all been there no judgement from me. But i list multiple places because I like to travel and have a lot of friends in all those places. (I live in Philly which is central to all those states) Unfortunately all those friends smoke but most don't do shrooms so hence I'm here asking. but i appreciate the feedback from all of you. I definitely will look into concerts and festivals that seems like a good place to strike up convo with like minded folk.

I'm 25 now. Trying to be a recovering alcoholic. It isn't easy as everyone my age drinks.
Meeting people is hard. I'm very charismatic but it's hard. Everyone is super guarded these days. I haven't found a clear solution I'm on my 3rd state living in and it isn't easy. And all the people that are your friends are just that night.
I still have no idea how to answer that question. Everyone's in there own little worlds. Got there cliques and etc. Why I don't get that attached to people much to at all anymore. I'll probably be leaving soon anyway.

Have a hair trigger smile and talk to people every opportunity you get.

I'm the sort of person that we can be stuck on a bus together and start chit chatting. I don't put in headphones I'd rather just chit chat. I know what my music will do I'm wondering what you will.

If you really want to find friends, expand your horizons. Your post makes it sound like you only want to hang out with people who trip for spiritual purposes or won't consider them true friends if they don't, that sounds boring and rather limited IMO . You can't be friends with everyone, statistically speaking, you won't relate to or be friends with the majority of the people you meet. Just keep an open mind when talking to people, see if they say something about something you're interested in and comment on it or any situation similar, it's pretty easy for the most part as long as you're not immediately turned off by them if they're not into the same drugs you are for the same reasons, there's a lot more to people then that and you're just limiting yourself if that's all you're looking for.
Only a few of my friends do any kind of drugs and the rest just don't do them or they're completely opposed to it in every way. They're just awesome people otherwise so it's relatively easy to look past that because that's only one aspect of who they are.
