Telling someone not to go outside or not to be around hazardous objects doesn't reduce harm any differently in a person on psychedelics than than it would in a person not on psychedelics.
If you're tired and chopping vegetables, chances are equally as good that you'll cut yourself as they would be if you were under the influence of psychedelics. Arguably less.




I agree and would like to add that physical safety concepts don’t have to exclusively address physical threats. They seem to bleed into psychological safeguards as well. The example I am thinking of is when group tripping, it can help relax and ease the participants minds to know you took those extra precautions, especially if there is a new tripper in the group who is worried that they themselves might stab someone else, or end up naked in the streets. Etc.

Taking a blanket with you is another example of how a physical preparation can aid the mental side of things. I use this more innocuous example to show that the attempt to avoid being cold, or broadly speaking, to avoid discomfort, can result in having extra psychological tools, the blanket, at hand when needed.




Related but separate incident that glorifies tripping dangerously. :grin:

2nd time on acid, my stupid friend decided to scare the shit out of an anti-drug friend who was tolerating us that night. He had already expressed concern/anger about the possibility one of us would go crazy and murder him and his gf while we were on drugs... so, one thing led to another and around about 2am, my buddy says to me: hey, let’s get the knives out of the kitchen and go see what anti drug friend is doing. So, obviously I was on board. :crazy2:

It was slightly disturbing and probably not the best idea ever. He was startled a bit, eyes got a worried look in them said something like, “uhhhhh, what are the knives for?”  We couldn’t keep it together, busted up laughing. even anti-drug friend could see that we were in no shape to stab anyone to death. Not the wisest plan that ever came from being under the influence, glad he didn’t over react and stab one of us idiots. But, nobody got hurt. :shrug:

Yeah, unfortunately you can't keep people from idiocy and peer pressure.
Contrary to what people like to believe, psychedelics don't have a magic 'you're no longer a jackass' switch.
If there's a drive, people will figure out a way to be dumb.

Not to say that I haven't gotten into some really dumb shit, but I've never tripped around people who made me feel the need to lock down my kitchen.
I'm sure they exist, but I probably wouldn't want them in my kitchen regardless.
Even if it was in good tripping fun, if I were that sober friend, I'd have probably socked someone fucking around with me like that.

I do agree that providing comforts can mitigate a possible anxiety that might arise.
But I still can't say that it is unique to psychedelics.
I mean, shit, if I had the option of having a blanket at work right now, I'd probably be feeling a lot better about my day.
No matter how many comforts are provided, you can still have an agonizing psychedelic experience.
The way shadows are cast, smells, an itch on your eyelid, outside noises or frequencies, your heartbeat... anything can be a trigger to send you to the wrong place.
You can't hide the sharp objects in your mind.

Agree entirely, but you’ll never beat a blanket! Arthur Dent learnt that in Hithchikers Guide to the Galaxy 😎
