Can't agree more. Nearly all my most terrible trips occurred when I was around people - people who were either no tripping at all or tripping much less then me;
In contrast nearly all if not all of my solo trips have been quite peaceful if not at times slightly overwhelming but still manageable.
Recently I tripped with my brother and a friend who has only tripped once; we hiked into a nearby forest on the night of the full moon. I took between 2-3 drops of LSD and then a few bong rips (bear in mind I hadn't smoked weed in nearly a month!)
Suffice to say that by the time we reached the part of the hike where the vegetation began to close in all around us and the spiders and fire ants were everywhere including on us I completely lost my shit.
If you're interested in the full story I posted it in the Trip Report forum;

But yeah I'd say from the experience of all my other trips that set and setting are so important; but perhaps even more important or just as important is you state of mind going into it as well as the people you choose to bring with you. I made the mistake of bringing along someone who was nowhere near prepared for what can go down when psychedelics go dark and we all paid the price because of that (well partly because of that)
Lol now I feel bad for that guy because even though I was the one that lost my shit I probably scared the living hell out of him too. xD
God this sounds like so many times I've tripped. The messed up thing about my past trips were that I was dating a guy that would very much pressure me into tripping with everyone, saying things like "well you'll make everyone really uncomfortable if you're not tripping" or "If you don't trip just go home" (which I really would have done, but he would not have let me near the car and if I got a ride from anyone he'd make it into a very dramatic situation involving physical harm or verbal harm later on when he came home from tripping without me) so basically I was in between a rock and a hard place and pressured into an intense psychedelic experience that I wanted no part of due to social anxiety.
Now that I'm finally out of that relationship and with someone who truly respects and cares for me, I think I would love to try tripping alone. I would though like to figure out some coping mechanisms because I do very much want to trip with my boyfriend.
