they know we're tripping...

a while ago I decided to go to run my errands while on L, while running my errands I began to notice something very strange. I had to run into the mall to get some gift certificates, i know strange place to trip, but I was perfectly calm and having some fun too, but then I had the feeling people around me either sensed I was trippin and or were tripping as well, must have been my bugged out eyes and drool right?, actuallly I'm pretty sure my mannerisms and apperance weren't too out to the ordinary... I don't think people even pay too much attention anyways. It was very curious to see as I was walking around and looking at my surroundings bend and warp, people around me seemed as if they were experiencing the same trip. People seemed confused and dazed momentarily, perhaps it was just me... that's what I chalked it up to anyways.
Then a couple weeks later I went snowboarding while on a tab. Same thing happened, some people seemed to vibe that they knew something... my friend that I went snowboarding with also felt this and we got into a conversation about interesting things crossing over when we're not tripping. Anyways people I shared the lift with seemed quite fluent in L-Speak even better than me and I took a tab. All in all it was amazing because it seemed they all were in on some funny joke as well.
so do they know? has this happend to you? or you or YOU???

makes me want to try acid.............
one time i was going to do some LSA and would have ended up in a mall, the place would have been very confusing and interesting to look at. but nausea + public = i'll pass.
but i sometimes get that vibe while on weed.... like i'll see another guy and he looks real stoned and he'll be just looking at me.... and i'm like "man this guy must be stoned" or if i'm really tripping out and i look at another guy he looks like he's really tripping out too and i imagine him going "huhhhh?" and i'm not sure if he really is tripping out and saying that or if i'm just imagining it.

when we were like 16-17 i took a couple friends to the mall while they were tripping pretty well! remember those things where you drop a coin and it spins around a circular devise until it spun to the bottom? well it was so amazing to them, i got a roll of pennies and we used all of them... there was a picture of a tall and skinny animated girl in one window, and my one friend thought she was a real girl! one of the funniest things that happened was that we told my friend that if he threw a coin in the fountain, a clown would come out and give free candy... he was so fucked up, he tried doin it! what a funny time. they looked like a wide eyed little kid while being in a toy shop.
one day my friend and i thought that one time when we are trippin, but not trippin balls, we wanna go to target... there's a lot of awesome shit to look at... we could spend hours just looking at trippy designs.... i cant imagine what the security camera people would think if they saw some kids walking around, stopping and just staring at different trippy things. i think it would be fun. how about you?

I think I know what ur talking about. On my first trip on shrooms it was difficult to understand that non trippers weren't seeing the same things I was. I also assumed everyone could tell even though they told me I was acting normal. At one point some girl came over and while I was watching her face change colors she asked me, "I thought you guys were gonna "smoke" shrooms later" I was amazed that it wasn't obvious that I was totally messed up. Sometime during the same trip I also really regreted not bringing a camera so I could take a picture of the carpet

I remember walking through supermarkets in the morning while coming off of my trip with friends and that was pretty trippy, I imagine target would be pretty interesting. I wonder how much you could get away with without security hassling you? Then I wonder what would happen? I suppose they really can't do anything to you for looking at merchandise though. I think whatever you buy will be great though.
Perhaps alot of more people have tripped before and recognize it when they see it. I'm just tripped out that they really really seem to have either been on the same wavelenght as us and also seemed to get confused or tripped out by what we were seeing.
I took pictures while tripping once and took a picture of a dragon.

my first lsd trip was in a mall, and i was the only one trippin out of my group of 4. i watched my friend get her ear pierced and then i wandered off to the food court where there were a LOT of people, but i just stood in the middle looking at all the neon signs. once i started spinning my head back and forth to make trails everyone started looking at me, someone asked what i was doing and i just said "making my own neon rainbow". lol then my friends found me and dragged me away.

I've noticed this many times. It's like people give you a conspiritorial look, minus the wink. Also, events will culminate to create a theme, and the people just go right on along with it.
Here's one theory: that people who have tripped before pick up on the tripping vibe, and groove along with it. I got this theory because I visited my mom the other day while she was on the come-down from a trip, and she asked me if I was tripping because my "eyes sure looked bright." I wasn't, but when I looked in the mirror, my pupils were dialated!
Second theory: we're all part of the same collective consciousness, and people respond to your energy whether they're conscious of it or not. That probably accounts for most of it.

Generally speaking, I think it is just paranoia. You are worried people are going to notice, and your mind starts to play tricks on you.
However, that being said. More so on mushrooms than on LSD (havnt experienced the same on LSD)
- The crazies seem to be attracted to you.
I'm not sure if its my body language, or a vibe I give off, or what. But, any time I have walked through Toronto while tripping on Mushrooms, I have had the craziest things happen to me or weird people come up and start talking to me.
1. Being chased through the park by a farting fat lady. Well, maybe this was a bit provoked. She was sitting on a bench, drunk off her rocker, punching her fist into the air singing. I start to laugh, she then farts - like, a real long, two minute, cheek slapper of a fart - I'm laughing so hard I can barely walk. She then starts to point and scream at me, I am now almost on the ground laughing.
She then gets up, and chases me through the park. Ok, maybe a bit provoked, but still a funny story. Now, for the unprovoked :P
2. Walking home from a movie, this guy is riding his bike in a circle in the middle of the intersection with a stick. Why he is doing this? I have no idea. He then physically pokes me with the stick, and starts to scream at me -- ?!$?
3. Walking to a party on Mush, this guy, out of the blue, pops up next to me and for 3 blocks walks next to me telling me how much he liked my hair (was sporting a Mohawk)
4. Again, same night as above. Guy begs me for change, when I'm high, I tend to be giving to beggars, and toss him a dollar. He then follows me for a block saying 'please? can I have some more? I'll only use it to buy African food, please? I'll only buy African food...' - why him using it for only African food should make a difference is beyond me, but, he followed me for ages.
I think ultimately, in the end - our body changes in a way that we become more approachable perhaps? But, I have noticed that while on mush, and to a lesser extent just weed : the ?crazies? seem to approach me far more often. Mind you, they are /mostly/ harmless, and some times downright amusing.

Everybody is always tripping.
I find myself tripping out about shit all the time even without psychedelics. The LSD probably just allows you to notice that people are having crazy shit going on in their heads most of the time.
I mean think about yourself, dont u find yourself to be flying through the cosmos, when you could be doing the most suttle of things outside of your psyche?

never realized paranoia would be so fun, seems like the people who are in on it are all rooting for the home team or something.
am I on the home team of the crazy's? I always did have a reverence for the insanse ( hmmm what was that from?) but really there may be a very fine/blurry line between madness and genious.
I wonder if I could tell if you walked by and were tripping? I wonder who these people who seem to know are? what would happen if I walked up to them and asked them "how do you know I'm trippin?"... I may be hauled off, but this also reinforces my theory of them not saying anything, as to not cross some unsaid hidden boundary of not saying anything to give away the punch line.
.... ok i've decided this is all in my head:P
