First time shrooms, in room or not?

I finally got hold of 3 grams of P. cubensis. I haven't done them before. I have done LSD once and ketamine a whole lot and DMT for a short while. It's been ages since I did any psychedelic though and I've kind of forgotten what it's like. My question is, is it okay if I take shrooms in my room alone at night? Tonight? I can go out for a walk during the trip if I don't feel like staying in my room. I have university in the morning but I really want to try them as soon as possible. So in your opinions, is it a waste of shrooms to do them like this or should I wait some days till I have a day free and do it outdoors during the daytime? What is the morning after shrooms like? I now have a steady supply of shrooms so I'll get other chances to experiment with them outdoors, in jungles etc. So is it likely that I will have a meaningful trip doing it alone in my room late at night? I'll have music and joints and the option to walk outdoors, and the area outside my house is clear and natural for miles around.
 
Yeah I've been recommended the same. But I won't mind an introspective kind of trip. And the night might provide me some nice visuals as well, though there'll be a lack of colors.
 
I never took psychs for the visuals

find them to be somewhat overhyped tbh

its more about the change of thinking for me

and I already think way too much

so on psychs its like a whole new level.
 
I'd take them indoors, where you feel comfortable. It's extremely important to feel safe, especially with your first shroom experiences!
 
^ yep. Gonna take them now, in my room and bathroom. Once it starts kicking in I might go to the roof or outside for a walk.
 
Alone in your own room in darkness is the best way to really get deep, and if you've dealt with DMT and K, then you should be as alright as anyone. A walk if your feeling it is always nice too.
 
Four walls suck 99 % of the time while on a mind journey...unless you're spending the time w/ your lover, then it's still better outdoors, unless the weather prohibits.

Out in the middle of the Olympic rain forest (from mid-night, till sun-up) was one of my favorite journeys, by far...

The alone in a pitch black room recommendation was only for 5g+ trips (McKenna's heroic dose, and all of that), and you wouldn't want to be outside at those levels unless you're really comfortable. Outside is best with a "regular" shroom trip I feel, but I don't think the weather at my side of the equator is allowing that right now.

Your room is fine enough, but be sure that you prepare enough so you have something to do when you're done traversing your own existence. A movie or so for near the end is recommendable.
 
Check out the B&D Day vs. Night tripping thread.

Yes, it is quite possible, many folks think being alone in a dark, secure environment is the preferred setting for introspecting.

Well then it's fine for a setting, if you're sure to have other opportunities. If your set is well enough, you're good to go.

Please shoot the TV and play your favorite music...
 
^Please note "so you have something to do when you're done traversing your own existence", which I mostly do while enjoying a few tunes. Near the end of a trip I'm mostly done with it and myself, especially if there is a lot of time dilation. When you're starting to get bored it all seems so endless, so having a movie ready to watch if you do get bored is always a great idea.

On my first-ever solo trip I didn't think of this, and the time dilation was so extreme I almost ended up freaking out because it felt endless. So yeah, having a movie at hand is a great idea.
 
The trip was a success. It lasted over 6 hours. till I fell asleep. It was much more intense then the LSD I took some months back. It was much more than I expected. My attitude before eating the shrooms seems silly now.
Being indoors while tripping wasn't that great. I went to the roof where there is open scenery in all 4 directions. Each direction became a different world with its own unique fatanstical landscape and amazing feelings attached to them, and I spent hours just staring at them.
When I came indoors to use the bathroom, I accidently caught sight of myself in the mirror and then began a half hour exploration of my own face. When I first saw my face I swear I looked just like a monkey. then I realized that the weight of all of human evolution was bearing down on me. Only a few years ago, the first primate, homo whatever, must have eaten his first magic mushroom. And that began his evolution towards intelligence. Me taking the mushroom last night was another step in that process. I realized we're all still monkeys. Imagine monkeys wearing suits and doing maths. That's what we are. And the future.. is unimaginable, I just caught glimpses of it. There were lots of other things I saw. It was a bit depressing near the end, when I came back inside and snuggled in my blanket and realized how isolated and detached I've become from any kind of human connection.
I can't wait to do them again in a better setting with a higher dose.
