Tripping during these pandemic times.

Is it bad if I say Im sort of hoping to be closed down for a week or 2 minimum? I work in the automotive industry and I found today that the shop is considered an essential business. But, we are a small sized-mid paced shop in an odd location that honestly could afford the closure, especially if this proposed bailout bill passes. Besides the political factors, if I get substantial time off, I want to trip.
The purpose of this topic is to address the underlying fear effect from COVID19 pandemic, subconsciously. Im no hypochondriac of any kind but there is a small sliver of me that feels natural fear of a virus I cant see. Alot of times its more that I fear other peoples' actions and reactions. Its the feeling of the one rule about driving that is to always be aware of others around you. Its when the shit starts getting real life. Although I am deeply intrigued by spectating the intensity of people around me, I am somewhat fearful of how this overpopulation of fear driven people will deal with it overall.
So anyways, in this time off, I want to dose the 4g's+. I want to break the threshold but I dont want to feel the fear if it starts turning bad about this pandemic effect and the fact that Im forced to self isolate. Its just one of those things thats always in the back of your mind. The daily exposure about it, The 6" radius personal bubble, the eeriness of empty street during daylight. Maybe, hopefully, all of that could be bypassed completely and just enjoy whatever comes. And I believe that is true.
Shit, I might even take the free vacation and travel somewhere for a few days, modern hunter-gatherer style. I think that would be a healthy change in my life at this point anyways. Just because. Maybe I can take pleasure in this whole thing after all. Thoughts?

I think if I'm to stay home during these troubled times, I'll go ahead and wait a week to see if I get sick. If not, then I'll feel much more comfortable tripping if I don't think my house is tainted.

Your “set” doesn’t sound great for a trip, bro. You could spend the entire trip focussed on the virus, and the panic, and not enjoy as much as if your mind was clear of worries.
You’re not going to contract the virus while you’re at home. So if you get two weeks off, wait until the second week when you know you;Lol be clear and hence nothing to worry about.

Depends how worried you are about it. I wouldn’t trip right now just because there’s so much fear in the air, it’s pretty palpable. It’s hard to say how the hysteria is effecting one on a subconscious level.
A trip could blow the fear away or magnify it.

Yep the fear is insane. Sat at wok yesterday when I got a text from my landlord, whose daughter had decided he was going into isolation. At least I had a few hours sat at work to sort out alternative accommodation! I’m now 300 miles north and back home working remotely! Stupid thing is, I’m much more at risk than he ever was.......
I should have nicked all his toilet roll before leaving, but that wouldn’t have been nice, would it?

I'm danger tripping this weekend. In fact I'm upping the ante and watching some zombie movies too. People took LSD while on duty in vietnam, people have taken it in prison. I love the dark side of psychedelics. I probably wont leave my apartment but I bet the streets will be so quiet, very post apocalyptic.

Go for it dude; trips are always interesting when you change it up a bit. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I once had to pick my daughter up from a school disco, while still in the peak. Headteacher was waiting to talk to me about my daughter, and I somehow bodged my way through that conversation and got home safely. I’ll tell you what though, it is one of the trips I always remember lol

I’ve got 27 ice cubes of fresh Mazatapec tea at 0.75g each. And around 35g dried Mazatapec. And a stack of Pot Noodles. I’m ready to self-isolate

WTF? Suppose it’s one way of ensuring your hands are sterile......

Im not scared of this, but as said before it may blow it away or magnify it.

Cosmic I'm off the next 2 weeks due to covid (they put us on a rotation) and I'm dosing tomorrow morning. Is it an extremely eerily surreal time. And a great time to reflect on the world. Even if it's a little scary. The scale of this is just...it's just about impossible to fathom.
The majority of the earth is in the same boat right now.
But yes I'm going to dose very early tomorrow morning. And I plan on having a good time. I may even do a back to back and dose again on Friday...

I would totally dose now if I had mushrooms. Unfortunately, my first ever crop is just started, and I won't see a single shroom to harvest for at least another 4-6 weeks, since I inoculated my Pf Tek jars just under 2 weeks ago. So I guess I have to wait. lol
