Should I trip by myself?

[Psychedelicporn]

I really want to trip by myself and I was wondering if it's a good idea to trip at night while my parents are asleep, I was also thinking of taking .5 mg of Xanax to mellow out the trip and if I end up having a bad trip taking around 3mg more to end the trip, my main question is if being on my computer all night watching movies, listening to music and chatting with people will be alright or will it make the trip boring, any movie/music recommendations will be appreciated also I have tripped twice on 25i and 3 times on DXM so I have a good understanding on controlling my trip and riding it out but I'm just being cautious since it will be my first time tripping alone.

TBH I get the most out of my trips when alone and I actually prefer tripping alone, just about all my trips are nowadays. I would also go out and say I've had more bad trips when tripping with other people because if one person in a group starts to go south then pretty much the whole group goes down as well and it turns into a big babysit fest, not my cup of tea. The only thing that worries me is that your planning on tripping when your parents are home. I used to do this all the time in highschool and nothing ever went wrong but I was always an independant person and my parents were respectful enough to give me my own space. Are your parents the type to invade your privacy whenever they want? If so I would at least wait til you have the house to yourself. Also, what substance are you taking? The material plays a big role in whether or not it's a good idea IMO. I would never eat something like mushrooms around my parents but have actually tripped on clearheaded substances like aMT and 2c-i in the daytime around my parents with no problems (NOT reccomended).

If your insistant on tripping while your parents are asleep just relax, listen to some ambient music through your headphones, or watch a movie. You don't need a circus act to have a great trip, from am outsiders perpective my trips probably look boring as fuck but to me they're suited to my liking. I typically listen to some music, lay on my bed, and alternate between watching TV/Movies, playing colorful video games (believe it or not GTA is my favorite game for trips), and laying with a pillow over my head watching CEV's and exploring my consciousness. Great movie categories while tripping are comedy movies as they lighten up the mood. I also like watching emotional movies with lot's of twists in the plot as I'm usually a rather emotionless person sober so when I experience emotional opening it feels fantastic. Just try not to make any noise and you should be good. Tbh though I would save the benzos for when you feel you need them, it's great that your prepared but there's no need to dull your trip if you don't have to, that is unless your really nervous about the situation but if that's the case I wouldn't trip in that setting period. Have a great trip and try not to worry too much.

My first trips were solo with parents upstairs and all was well. I often hang on my own quietly by default anyway so it wasn't a big stretch.

Lying down and listening to music is best; trying to focus and read a computer screen is a trip killer. Even having music from the computer mess up or finding different stuff can be a pain. It's best to have things open, cue'd and set up before it gets going too strong.

Good on you for being cautious. You know yourself better, but I would advise just saving the xanax incase it gets to be too much for that setting; no point in dulling a good thing.

I'd also advise choosing something with a short-ish duration. Dropping something that lasts 12 hours at something like 10pm obviously has drawbacks. You should get to sleep, staying up through the night means you're more likely to be sketched out the next day, and it doesn't look good to your parents if you're sketched out, or sleeping until 6pm the next night.

Generaly tripping where you have to be conscious of your behaviour and be careful not to make noise and wake people up sucks, but it is manageable if there's no other way. I did it and had my most life changing experiences in that setting.

I'd be tripping on 1mg of 25i, and once my parents are out they don't wake up during the night, thanks for your input, much appreciated

Try playing a game like Far Cry or GTA V. There is nothing like exploring a jungle or driving the max speed on a motorcycle when you take nbomes. I used to do that all the time when my parents were out until the nbome comedowns were too much to deal with.

I actually find focusing on a computer/tv screen is amazingly easy while on psychedelics. You get into a complete trance when you do, and nothing seems to break your focus.

I can't read for shit when I take hallucinogens. I haven't tripped in years except on benzedrex and cannabis which was still very visual for me. I think all the psilocybin and LSD I've ingested in my youth really lowered any tolerance to the point that a wake and bake can give me rainbow colered visuals from just gazing at my popcorn ceiling. It feels like I can't focus my eyes without great effort, kinda like they just blur and cross or relax to the point that if I look at a magic eye picture the image is readily visible. I don't think it was good for my eyes but it made visuals stronger, clearer and easier to slip into.

In my early acid trips it was necessary for me to unfocus my eyes to coax the visuals along . And if I focused, say to read or watch my step, the visuals would stop moving and disappear. But after I licked that sheet one time it became harder and eventually impossible to tune them out and even to focus my eyes at all. I'll probably lose my sight sooner than if I didn't trip so often in those years. But damn I enjoyed it and I was only paying 1-2 bucks a hit for blotter acid, geltabs, microdots, liquid acid, and shit , 5 bucks in gas would get me and my friends anywhere from a few handfuls of mushrooms each to one time it had been storming bad all week and instead of waiting for it to pass we kinda got lucky that right when we were gonna head home after waiting HOURS for the lightning to stop and the clouds to pass, they kind of parted a little bit and the rain went from.Storm to a shower and the sun peeked out just for us and for that half hour we only picked the biggest caps we saw most were already broken and blown over and I saw one that was actually so huge it was curled UP and onto itself I could fit a baseball in it. It was like a 2 inch thick portabella mushroom soaking wet from the rain and dripping purple water but still standing on a stem that was only 8 inches tall but fat like a cigar.later I flattened it out on the table and it was like a pancake. My hand fit inside it. I swear we had a kitchen garbage bag about a quarter full from 5 of us running around for 20 minutes in that field. We called some other friends and told them to get out there before anyone else did. That field was several square miles though. Or Florida sh rooms are plentiful but weak compared to most strains. So pretty though when u drive by and see a cluster of 1-2 foot tall fungi with CD sized tops like a friggin bouquet I still get excited thinking about it. That was on the outskirts of Tampa and every stoner in my high school knew about it and I'm sure hundreds more. I bet anything they are still thriving out there too. Problem is u can't store them through winter. Always a humid, rainy, mosquito free for all night when eating shrooms back then. Can only stay inside in the a.c for so long before being compelled to go join the web of energy crackling throughout the atmosphere. We chilled on top of these 5 story high big concrete dome water towers to escape the bugs and enjoy the view andget ccloser to the stars :D

I think I am coming to realize I am too old to be posting in these forums which are clearly mostly populated by young people...still I can't help but wonder so many young people are either so lame that they don't have friends to keep themselves amused during these times? I'm sorry if I come off mean spirited but when did people become pathetic and boring that they would make posts asking what they should do with their time when they are tripping because they are bored? I always thought I was a nerdy kid but I must have been pretty damn cool because I was never so lame as to need to make a post like this one.

My goodness reading this post..are kids really this lame? SOrry I can't help myself I guess as I post about being a kid 15 years ago and half the people reading this are literally as old as the times I am remembering.

sigh! I reported this post to management for being lame.

^Your post? You can just edit it, dude.

my main question is if being on my computer all night watching movies, listening to music and chatting with people will be alright or will it make the trip boring, any movie/music recommendations will be appreciated

You're way over thinking this, just do what feels right. If you want suggestions, check out the B&D trip activities thread.

I have tripped twice on 25i and 3 times on DXM so I have a good understanding on controlling my trip and riding it out

No, you don't.

For me, that would just mean using headphones instead of speakers, haha. I'm quiet as a mouse.

Yeah me too, I use headphones all the time anyway; superior audio for really listening. What I meant was when moving around, if you have to go to the john, of you have to puke, etc. I sometimes had to work to not bang into walls and shit. Once I was back lying down listening to music it was all good though.

Yeesh MGS; we're not all quarterbacks banging the whole cheerleading squad.

I had friends, but my friends were idiots who didn't know how to have a good trip. Solo tripping was the only way for me, and it's the same situation for many others.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

^Yeah, vomiting is the one thing that's sure to raise some red flags with people in earshot.

 

[《Plasticity》]

I have plenty of friends and simply prefer solo tripping. People annoy me when I trip, I like to just put on some headphones and explore my head, something I can't do when my friends are either acting like jackasses or telling me how much of an asshole they are for things they've done years ago... There is only one exception and that's my GF for obvious reasons, not to mention she lives with me and is almost always around. I'm a very boring person to trip with lol.

Remember this is the guy who was such a nerd I had to read about morning glory seeds to trip because the cool kids were not about to sell a hit of acid to me.

But still I was never so lame that I'd have made a post like this one (if I were young enough to have been using the internet of course when I was that age)

 

[Transform]

Internet forums to skew towards a younger demographic, even if only because the demographic of internet users contains many more young people. Experienced users are less likely to have questions so yes, we’re certainly going to see skewed statistics. Additionally, young people do tend to be a little less worldly, and don’t tend to have their own property to trip in. Like it or not, that means that bluelight is going to have to provide advice to said young people as they aim to use drugs safely.

As lame as the question may or may not be, it’s certainly not worthy of locking or removal.

Perhaps, psychedelicporn, you can be mindful of the fact that you are far from the first person in this situation and that using the search function will likely reveal very similar questions answered many times before. IMHO this is something that should be borne in mind when asking a question just about anywhere, especially on the internet.

Thanks 

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

remember this is the guy who was such a nerd

100% of the people who I have heard describe themselves as "such a nerd" did not deserve the moniker. Using isolation as a target for a personal attack does not help your case. I might add that nothing posted in this thread indicates anything more than introversion.

But still I was never so lame that I'd have made a post like this one

Until the day comes when PD vets posters, let's show people the way to the incredibly handy PD Index, and ask'em to UTSE. They might learn something, and I promise you won't catch their cooties and become "lame."

Enough of this bad vibesy digressing, in front of greenlighters no less. *sigh* I guess we all have stuff that sets us off.

Makes the place more appealing for the very generation who need the advise we so kindly offer, for free on here!

Brimz had a wee rant in EADD about all this "staying-in" busniness that seems to prevelant amongst drugs users these days. Personally, it's always been this way for me because I cannot afford to do both drugs AND partying very often, & have been in this position most of my life. I never have any money, I never had any money & I never expect to have any money!

Fortunately I am fairly weathly in terms of life experience, which costs nothing!

Why be so ignorant, I've tripped 5 times and have been with friends every single time, I wanted to experience tripping to myself instead of having to worry about something going wrong. last time I tripped with my best friend he ended up having a bad trip and I had to babysit him for most part of the trip. You're obviously just recreationally into psychedelics I rather be alone and learn something from my experience than go out to a rave and be around people.

 

[Morninggloryseed]

Hey never mind me, I'm just angry and old and bitter, and upset because I got rejected for my free obama care sticker, and took my anger and frustration out on you. All the rumors you said about me are true, I got lost once at a rave and never was the same.

Edit: nerds are cool though and once you go lame, you are never the same

Really I am just mad at myself because instead of helping the forum out by making posting something exciting by example, I posted something lame from experience therefor bringing the entire forum down a point or two. I am ashamed of myself and will go to the corner for a few minutes to think deeper about this all.

PS, I don't even use psychedelics, I heard a few stories in high school about people tripping and becoming an orange and it scared me from ever doing that stuff. I am only into cocaine, and booze. Those are real drugs.

Wish I was a nerd but instead I'm a highschool dropout

 

[Morninggloryseed]

I can totally out nerd you there, I was a high school drop out once, always have been but I got my GED before my graduating class got their LAME degrees in high school 'cause they had me on the 6 year plan due to indiscretions I had my freshman year and more trouble during my first senior year...and their scheduling conflicted with my plans to begin the 1st year of what would become 6 years in college so I said no thanks.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

high school dropout

I knew somebody who dropped out and went the GED route, he was a great guy, definitely brighter than I am to boot.
