"Tripping?"

  1. Does anyone else think that the word "trip" is thrown around too often here? To me, "tripping" has always meant a psychedelic experience. TRYPtamines (and a few psychedelic phenythylamines) make you TRIP. Makes sense to me.

    When I see people talk about DXM "trips" or Benadryl "trips" I always think about this and come to the conclusion that a dissociative experience like DXM really can't be called a "trip." Deliriants get a bit more complicated because they can be a bit like a psychedelic trip but are also very different.

    Anyone else just slightly annoyed when they see the word misused?
     
  2. I get pissed when people dont know what the fuck it means. but thats about it.
     
  3. Yeah, I notice it pretty often.

    Especially when people associate tripping with marijuana.
     
  4. I agree that the word is misused quite often but I have to disagree with saying DXM experiences aren't trips. I've had many many trips on DXM and some were similar to my mushroom experiences. I would call it a trip, deleriants I would not call a trip though because I associate the word trip with a generally pleasant experience and I can't stand deleriants

    no no no

    i hate it when people use trip for weed.

    but i think benadryl and dxm is completly 100% a trip, but u have to take high doses. u hallucinate during both of them just like psychdelics.

    I've only tripped with mushrooms (once) and DXM (many times, long ago). I can't see how the DXM experience is not a trip. I think of the word just as it's normally used: you leave what's familiar and mundane to explore the unknown and exciting. The DXM trip undoubtedly carries you into a new sphere of existence. And like other drugs' trips, the DXM one can be great or horrible.

    To use an admittedly poor analogy: the cannabis high is like looking out of your window and seeing something wonderfully strange. A trip is like being that strange thing outside, looking to the window and seeing yourself looking at yourself.
     
  7. i used to get annoyed with how much i heard people say they were trippin'!!!! but i really dont care anymore cause just abotu everything everyone does annoys me haha. i think psychedelic trips are the legit way to use it, but when people say theyre tripping they could be freaking out, seeing colors, i dont know, u just sorta needa ask em what they mean otherwise it could mean a million things :/ stupid slang.. lol ive done shit tons of dxm, not reayl a trip, it can occationally be like a mental trip, but nothing compared to acid or any other true psychedelic
     
  8. i hate it when people get they panties in a bunch over the use of a word.

    shits different everywhere, i say someones trippin when they are over reacting.. is that a problem?
