ok im pretty sure someone has already created a similar thread on here but i couldnt find it so i have this question to ask.

Basically i was considering dropping acid on my own, in my house to unwind and do lots of art work and maybe watch a few films instead of having friends round who would also be tripping.

the reason i am considering this is because i feel that if i have friends round who are also tripping (some first timers), i will feel the need to watch over them and my house therefore not being able to let go and just let it all happen. Because im looking for a trip where i can just let go and melt into everything.

iv only taken acid twice and im not sure if I understand it enough to do it alone.

if anyone could give me any advice it would be much appreciated!
 
Ive only done acid twice myself.

However i can see where your comming from , i know a guy who doesn't live in my area but does take LSD on a regular basis by himself and claims its alot more in depth and helps open up your perspective.
Basiclly its not gunna be all laughing and stuff its gunna be more , blow your mind kinda shit , in hes words "my only ever bad experience's were around people" so imo go for it bro , just dont go over your limits , go with what you know you can handle and all should be fine
 
Tripping alone is a very rewarding experience. I've done it many times. The only advice I can really give (regarding your anxiety about tripping alone) is to make sure you have plenty to entertain yourself with. Music, artwork, etc. The acid will greatly add to the pleasure of these activities. The only downside to tripping alone is that sometimes it can be overwhelming if you don't keep yourself occupied.

Use the search engine, this topic has been covered many times. Also head over to Erowid, as there are many trip reports over there from solo psychonauts.

Well said bro.

Alot of people seem to line up their activities before taking it headfuck123 , so maybe line up a bunch of stuff for you to do and enjoy , pick out some good music and youll be fine imo
 
thanks for the responses. i would have used the search engine but im my experience its always been shit. I think im gona need to prepare a lot of things to do before hand if i do decide to do this as like you said it can be overwhelming if you dont keep yourself occupied. I found my last trip very rewarding and enlightening but at some stages of the trip there was slight awkwardness or confusion even frm things like misenturprating a friends facial expression so i think tripping alone could be really cool and it could open my eyes to a lot of things.
 
plus my art project or theme that im working on is ssurrealism and the human mind so i think i could produce some awsome stuff!!

Hell yes. ;)

It's always gonna be different for everyone. A socially anxious person especially might find it hard to chill out around others, and as you know, LSD can exacerbate that. However, if you're worried about freaking out alone, take some precautions. Take a smaller dose than you normally would, remove all sharp objects from the room just to be extra special safe, make sure you have a backup plan - something to change the tone of the trip - if you feel like it's going bad. And you'll be fine. Enjoy!
 
I mostly trip alone because I like being able to completely control the events within my environment. There are certain substances I like taking with others (acid, mainly) but others that I feel have a great amount of value only when taken alone (DXM, LSA, Shrooms - the "darker" trips). Of course, that's just me. I'm a pretty socially anxious person, so ymmv.
 
the only thing you have to be concerned about is your own mental stability and if there are any demons hiding in the dark corners of your mind. because if there is, acid will bring it out. however if you are content with yourself then the only thing which could disturb an otherwise blissful experience is external influences, things out of your control, in other words, people who aren't you.

I get what you're saying about being in control of your environment. My friends are not quite on the same intellectual level with me, which has resulted in them panicking and not being able to handle trips properly. More then once I had to babysit several friends who were tripping out and losing control, even on substances as superfluous as 4-ho-met (25mg). So nowadays I simply prefer to trip alone or only with someone who I know can handle the trip, unfortunately the latter are in short supply in my social circle.

I am exactly the same.
 
Nothing can ever give you a bad trip. You are in absolute control of your mind, even while it is experiencing a psychedelic process.

Tripping alone is awesome though. (:
I actually find that I can more easily navigate very high doses when I'm alone, too. Don't do it the first time though haha.
 
i love tripping alone. most of my trips (primarily mushrooms cubensis and cyans, lsd ) have been alone. everyone is right about having things to do. i usually like to have lots of music because when i am peaking i cant really move around, i usually end up laying on my bed or sitting comfortably. i smoke a lot of buds when i am tripping or rolling. i am a daily smoker but when im tripping i smoke a whole lot. seems like you indulge much more in things you love doing everyday anyway :]
 
i'd like to be able to trip with other peeps.. my living situation isn't all that great.. living in a halfway house tripping when you have a mandatory group at 9am, and one at 8pm really doesn't leave a short window to trip.. When I dose I'll drop (2ce here lately).. around 9:15pm at night..trip hard for 5 hours so at 2ish, i'm still feeling it, and end up staying up until the 9am group. my pupils are still pretty big at this time (or bigger then normal)... good thing group is held outside and I can cover up the night in my eyes wearing sunglass's lol..
as far as stuff I like to do?
play video games.. I have Steam, and like to play online fps games, like team fortress, and counterstrike. there are reallyyy fun/funny servers out there where people will act a fool, and drive around in funny cars, using radio messeges like (negative//affirmative) and omg lol so funny!! not to mention the graphics are amazing! LOL.
I've always enjoyed playing videogames while on some kind of chemical, since i cant smoke weed b,c of drugtest.. i do stuff that they cant test for lol..

Juice saved my life tripping lol, I got some damn good cran/grape & cran/apple oceanspray juice gallons, and wow if I can make it to the fridge and hit that bottle holy shit makes me soooo happyyy!! Like fuel or someshit.

to bad i cant really venture outside and enjoy my trip, to many people that are in 'recovery' waiting to tell on a person to make themselves look good.. bunch o bitchs.
 
Tripping alone is great but I wouldn't recommend doing it on a substance you've only done twice, especially if that's the only psychedelic you've tried. Better when you know exactly what you should expect from the drug. More likely to have a bad trip while inexperienced in my experience and in that situation it's good to have someone around who can help you through it. Always better to start low and see how you feel, can always take more but never less lol
