Title sums it up.

For context I've done some drugs (recreationally ofc) but I never did LSD. I know that the high lasts longer but it can be pretty horrible and as someone who never took hallucinogens I'm looking for advice or someone's experience that I can use for guidance.

I've done weed, Molly, crystal mdma (which is the same ig), poppers, opioids, cocaine and ketamine.

I'm just worried that the experience is going to be too different from the ones I have and that I'll freak out and be fucked forever. That fear never really stopped me from trying anything (cough cocaine) but I'm still worried because, again, it's a hallucinogen and I've never tried one. Or if I did, I never had hallucinations.

I have friends who tried it and they all tell me to go for it and that it's awesome and that it's the longest high ever (which is what I'm after) but I want to get more opinions before setting my mind on it. Also I'd like to have some expectations of what could go right or wrong and wether it's better to do it in the safety of my room before the festival to try it out with a trip sitter or to just fuck around and find out at the festival. Probably the first option. I don't know really.

#advice please

Also I forgot, if it's fun to take more than just lsd I'm open to it

EDIT: the festival is four days but I'll only be staying for three since the last day is dj sets. So, question would it be safe to take more than once in those three days?

My period was late, I didn't start my period delay tablets in time cos i was stressing about other things, I just started today and now I'm going to my first camping festival in two days and will be on my period for half of it. Fuck.

Ladies and others who bleed - top tips, practical advice, emotional support please. I can't use a cup. The festival is bearded theory which does have showers, thank the lord. How does one cope with aunt Flo joining them for a festival

hii, so i’m going to a one day festival in august (all points east). however, ive recently been having some mobility issues and i don’t know if ill be able to manage. i cant really stand for very long. i just really wanted some input or advice!! tysm

i’ve never been to a festival but atm i can do concerts but just barely, and only if i accept i’ll be totally wiped out for a few days afterwards. i was at a concert last week and i was stuck in bed for a few days afterwards. i would also be attending on my own so there wouldnt be anybody to help me travel back

how hard would this generally be on my body? obviously you guys dont know for sure as you don’t know me haha, but is it generally more intensive than concerts or not? i would imagine it is, but there are also more spaces to rest right? and i‘m assuming i could take breaks while acts are on. i know it will be calmer at the back of standing which is where im planning on staying, but are there any major differences between it and a concert? im coming a long way to london and its quite expensive for me so i dont want to come if i wont be able to manage it haha. and generally does anyone have any festival tips? :) thank you!!

Hello!!
I am so excited to be volunteering at the Northlands Music Festival in Nee Hampshire this year! I have never camped before at a festival as I’ve only ever been to Boston Calling and just drove in each day. If anyone has gone or volunteered before what are some tips or any tips for camping at a festival in general that would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a pair of 2-Day VIP Breakaway Ohio tickets and I need advice on how/where to put them up for sale. I fully intended on going, but my sister’s high school graduation is on that same Saturday as the festival.

Any tips on getting to and from for next year? Saw that it was around 2+hrs each way.

Just went to awakenings up close solo and found a group and was with them the whole day + afters. It’s remarkable how nice strangers can be and how much fun you can have with people you just met….im a 25 y/o dude but im on my flight out and im genuinely crying because its sucks to meet such awesome people then have to say bye 😅 :(

Ik werd hier echt gek van haha. Daarom dacht ik: ik maak festivalchecklist.app

Elke keer voor een festival begon ik weer opnieuw met een lijstje in notities of een Excel-lijst van iemand… en alsnog vergat iemand iets:

• oordoppen
• powerbank
• tandenborstel

OF iedereen had een rol ductape mee 😭
Zonde van al die ruimte… er had gewoon meer drank mee gekund!

Daarom heb ik een simpele website gemaakt waar je een festival paklijst/checklist kunt maken voor jezelf of samen met een groep.

En ieder jaar start je gewoon opnieuw vanuit dezelfde template.

Laat vooral weten wat jullie ervan vinden:)

Ideeën, verbeteringen of dingen die volgens jullie echt nog missen zijn welkom.

Hi guys, so Im a girl and this year I am going to go to Beach Please in Romania with 3 friends of mine.
