Am I the only one that thinks you could get more out of this sober than fucked up?

I mean... just you and your sober mind... I can imagine the possibilities.

No clouds... no altered state... just you, alone in the void.

'Course... I'm fucking hammered right now so I shouldn't talk. Hahaha!

If I fall in love with the experience, I'd imagine I'd give it a shot tripping at some point, but probably would want to have a couple of sober/stoned goes first to get acclimated to it, and have the perfect controlled dose of acid to do it in, where I knew what kind of intensity level to expect from the acid - especially when you consider that I'd have to travel to and from the place. It'd be different if I owned one in my own house.

Also, the peeing thing reminded me, I was given some guidelines:

no caffeine for a few hours beforehand
don't shave that day
don't have a heavy meal before coming
not too much liquid, empty bladder so you don't have to worry about thinking about that


--------------------
Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

If you shave that morning, your skin is really sensitive and pores wide open and you are getting into some ultra-salty water. It just could sting for a bit and detract from settling into the experience.

I asked if he thought I should do 60 or 90 mins and the guy asked if I had previous experience with yoga/meditation. I said, "Well, without getting into too much detail as to how, let's just say I have a lot of experience in trying to attain quietness of mind through altered states of consciousness." Heh heh.

He said well then you should know what you can handle...I said, I think I'll go for the 90. And he said, yeah, I'd recommend the 90 to most people.

Alright, I'm in. I'll be going in on Tuesday. I'll report back.

THIS is the reason I come to the shroomery. I am waist deep into the natural health stuff, but yet I've never even heard of this thing.

Have fun OneLess!!

No. I have several books on the subject as this is a favorite topic of mine. The tank's inventor, Dr. Lily, tried it while tripping and highly favored doing it whilst sober.

never been in one but heard accounts of the experience. Def worth going sober at least your first time. Thanks for reminding me of these things, im going to search for one near me.

ps here is a vid of joe rogan explaining what it is like, he has one in his house

Thanks to this thread I was inspired to finish up a 10 day fast with my first float.

It was just great. Really hard to explain what goes on in there, but I highly recommend it. It's really rejuvenating and fun. I'll definitely be doing it more in the future.

Ya know, I just had a good idea. I think having a sense deprivation tank would be really useful for bio-assaying various plants/psychoactive chemicals. You could detect the most minute differences, and get the full effects.

John Lilly did some research in that area. I'm pretty sure he experimented with Ketamine (IV), LSD and PCP whilst floating. Heck of a guy.
