Acid first time alone at night?

I know there's already been countless threads regarding this, but I still couldn't get a clear answer to what I'm looking for.

I have two tabs of acid, and I'm planning to take them soon, maybe even tonight. I've never done psychedelics, except for 2c-b, but it didn't really feel like a psychedelic experience other than mild euphoria. I've smoked weed for four years, daily for the past two, and I've also done ecstasy and salvia. I'm currently on winter break from college, so since I have a lot of free time, I thought now would be the perfect time to pop my cherry with psychedelics.

I'm 21 years old, and I live with my mom, but she usually goes to sleep early and rarely checks up on me, so I'm not worried that she'll find out. I'm a pretty introverted guy, so I think I can manage myself tripping alone. I'm planning to just be in my room, listen to music, make some art, watch some films, and maybe even walk outside to a park right across the street once the sun rises. I think wandering around at night time would work better for me too since there won't be any people around during the early a.m. of a weekday.

Optimally, I would be down to trip with my friends, but I don't want to impose on them if they're not ready yet, which would then make them have a bad trip and affect my trip as well. I've read having a sober trip sitter is recommended, but for me personally, I feel like I'd get too self-conscious of their perspective of me and they'd just distract me.

I'm hoping to expand my consciousness and learn more about myself, and I think tripping alone would be the way to go, but I just wanted to make sure with experienced trippers first and hear what you guys think considering my circumstances.

Thanks for reading.
 
Yeah, I'm a complete night owl. I usually sleep at 4 - 6am if I don't have anything to do the following day.

The magic of L is when your experience is shared with others. I would save it and do something kick ass, go to a show, go to a festival. Even as an introvert, you'll feel better when you are tripping around others who are tripping.

Completely disagree, you want to give the drug your full attention, bach sounds great without any help. parties are fun because they are parties, classic art is great because it's great art.

use the acid to really get to know yourself and the drug, anything added is just a distraction.
 
Yeah, the biggest problem with taking LSD at night is that you may be too tired to enjoy it. Keep in mind that you may not be able to sleep for a good 12 hours after dosing (depending on the ug content of your tabs), but if that's not a problem for you then go for it.
 
I'm not sure staying up past your bedtime will be much of an issue as opposed to losing all preconceptions of time...
 
Sounds like a great plan to me!

Tripping with friends is great too, but ideally they all need to be tripping with you, and on the same or similar compounds. They also need to be decent folks who are not going to start being ass holes just while you're peaking.

Tripping with friends helps to loosen things up a bit and create a sense of group euphoria. So if you do have good open-minded mates to trip with that you can be with for the entire duration of the trip, then that's a good option. However, tripping solo is vastly rewarding in other ways. Go for it.

I'd actually advise against this. It is not nice to be tripping and constantly worried that you need to be careful not to wake someone who can't find out.
 
I echo the 'introvert' sentiment: if you feel natural, free and 'left in peace' when alone (with positive connotation) it should be fine to trip alone.
But if you feel natural with company and unconversant or 'left by yourself' / abondoned when alone (with negative connotation), it might be more of a second step to go solo.

This is not written in stone, an extravert person can definitely manage alone especially when confident, self-aware and clearminded.

And an introvert person can benefit from a guide, but that seems mostly fruitful if the company is limited and experienced and ready to assist.

I am pretty introvert but I tripped on LSD for the first time at my dad's. My father also tripped when he was about my age. He is introvert himself and has a restrained attitude which allowed me to 'investigate' my thoughts and the environment with a safe feeling. I'm sure none of it was necessary but it was valuable none the less. The only thing, which is actually funny, was that he mocked me when I made nonsense non sequiturs and things like that. And man I wish I had written down those gems. Much ado about synaesthesia, I recall.
 
I'm an introvert who's taken LSD many times in just about any situation you could imagine. Large/small groups. Urban environments/nature. among groups of sober people/festivals where everyone's fucked up. and i will say without a doubt my favorite time/place to trip is alone at night, in the comfort of my room. i love tripping in that sacred space, among all of my memories and music and books and movies, completely free from the contraints of society and the responsibilities that come with tripping with other people. alone, i can do exactly what i want, when i want to do it, and be as silly or as sobering as i feel like without having to worry about what impact that will have on others or my environment. it's simply when i feel like i can let the acid show me myself and my place in the world with the greatest clarity.

of course i recommend tripping with friends when they're ready, but if lady L is calling your name now, then fuckin' let her have it. enjoy my friend!! you will not regret it.
 
My first trip (not lsd but 2c-e) was alone and went mostly fine. There were a few dark parts when a sitter would have been helpful, but overall it was nice. And very very visual.
 
It takes some self-knowledge and introspection as well, if you are on the hysterical side and have issues related to getting attention from people you could benefit much more from having a sitter - if only as reassurance and pro forma.
Such a person is likely to be extraverted IMO so that part seems consistent.

Dose is also important: if you have no idea how potent your blotter is or if you knowingly start off high, there is a bigger chance you will get into a state of mind the confused kind of which can be helped by guiding and assisting words.

You must always remember though, that people react differently and it can be difficult to judge how you tolerate strongly altered states of consciousness if you never experienced something like that. For that reason having a sitter around or near, or someone readily available, is a sort of insurance none of us here can give.

Excellent advice.
 
go for it.... all my best trips were alone at night!!!! fuck the social herpa derp,let the darkness be your sitter,dive into deepest depths of your minds

social stimuly prevents this greatly.... for me,dunno you may have deepest spiritual experience talking with someone about iphone its just I need to be alone for that kind of thing
 
For me, I'm much more comfortable alone on acid, although I'm not completely opposed to the idea of being with a close friend or two at the time. However, if I lived with my mom I could, without a doubt, see the idea of her waking up at some point, bother me to some extent at some point throughout my trip. Getting in trouble wouldn't be a huge deal to me. However, psychedelics tend to make my heart grow three sizes, and I would feel terrible, thinking my mom could walk in and have to see her son trippin balls on LSD.
 
Yeah, IMO, fuck any hesitation. That's part of LSD's lesson - no point in worrying about petty little imperfections in your environment / life. It'll be coo. :D


Of course I don't want to promote a completely reckless attitude. You know, you have to be safe and sane.
