The Big & Dandy Solo Trip Thread

wow this is the oldest thread ever!

yeah I've had some very enjoyable solo trips, completely free of social awkwardness that go's with psychedelics. Very introspective. My most memorable trips were with small groups 2-4 people and somewhere outdoors.
 
I did 4g of shrooms alone in complete silence in a dark room. Did smoke a bowl of salvia extract at T+0.30.
It was a great experience, a ride into the land of shroom spirits and meeting white light. But at some points, I was getting in tought loops, with a sensation that it would be easy to lose it.

With acid, there's more of stimulating edge. I'm not sure I would like to trip in a similar setting. Acid has more of a "I need to do something" feeling to me. But, acid and nature is a good mix in my book.
 
the first time i did acid, i tripped alone
i had the most amazing trip.
just having time to explore nature by myself and sit and think and reflect..

i highly recommend it. (unless you are prone to bad trips or arent completely comfortable with yourself)
 
i have tripped on acid alone once. i took 4 hits of blotter and had a fucking knee slapper of a good time! I tried to mix some records, ended badly. then i ended up just walking around my house laughing at myself. I personally dont understand what people base their fear of tripping alone on. the closest i ever came to a bad trip was actually with other people... other people have the ability to make me uncomfortable as where being alone i know i am acting crazy but i am not paranoid about infringing on someone elses space. I would say go for it! just remember that in nature the rustling of leaves can bring to mind some very real and very imagined boogymen. Remember grab as much firewood as u think u will need and then times it by 4! Oh and dont fall in the fire while you watch the stars dance!
 
I find myself tripping solo most of the time , I just find that its just more meaning full and I always tend to take very high doses of Lsd sometimes like 20 or so hits ( like today ) I find it hard to even talk sometimes during the experiance . Its just so profound and beautiful . I am left in awe....
 
The majority of my trips are alone. I find you can go deeper and not have to worry about social obligations to anyone else. That said, tripping with a good companion or two is also valuable. I like to do a bit of both. TOO much tripping alone can cause it to get a bit stale and routine.
 
^Yeah for me, its either with Miss Swilow (she will most likely not trip) or by myself. My last experience with my friends was rather weird to say the least. I rather get immersed in the psychedelia and not worry about the weird awakwardness of social interaction. I mean, small talk is so fucking hard when tripping, I find..

word of warning: when tripping alone do not try to tear apart and reconstruct your personality. . .

i spent the next day being someone else's personality trapped in my body, then became very anxious and uncertain of who I was for months afterwards.

i think letting acid take its own path rather than forcing something on it is great for personal development though!

Definitely try it alone - ive had the best times all on my own.

Also if you're worried about anxiety etc, I find reading trip reports can really get me in the mood - if you know what I mean, those "magical" seeming ones that just leave you in awe imagining how the people felt.

This is great advice. The "furthest" I've gone, were the solo slides through the other side of tomorrow in the silent introversion of me.

Great Legendary Pink Dots avatar! Love the Chemical Playschool 8 & 9.
 
I wanted to just add from my experience, that if your trippin with friends and havin a good time but do to unfortunate events had to go home(alone) right after the peak, it gets pretty lonely cause that the time where you just want to talk about it and share youre experiences with them. u know?
On the other hand when you drop by yourself and know your going to be by yourself its very rewarding and you dont get that lonely i need to talk someone feeling.
 
just be sure to let someone know where you will be at.......good idea even when camping sober let alone when your going out by yourself and on psychedelics

+1 on all counts. That second sentence is why I like tripping alone the most, especially the social obligations part which I find can make group experiences difficult sometimes.

Sometimes when solo tripping I talk to myself. =D
 
First time tripping solo... Thoughts and advice?

So, on Friday, it'll be the first time I've ever tripped by myself - I took a day's leave from work for it! I have access to some acid that is tried and true, and the dose should be a decent one, but I'm not wanting to push it too far. One tab of quality stuff should suffice.

I've tripped, on LSD, maybe 5 times before, all of these were good. I tripped on mushrooms once, first time, massively overdid it (had been awake doing other drugs all night, cooked up what we counted were 150+ fresh ones, boiled them into a tea), and it didn't go particularly well - surprise surprise. I tried shrooms again a week later, and got a similar experience. It wasn't hell, but it wasn't comfortable. I found the onset, and visuals to be unbelievable, but then I got to a point where my brain was too far gone to process any of it, and was basically incoherent, hiding in my wardrobe. I felt stupid during both trips, and didn't enjoy it - I like the way I retain most of my mental ability on acid.

So, fast forward maybe two years, and I'm at the crossroads again. My life is, what you might call, challenging at the moment. I have to make some big decisions over the next few months, and I'm reaching the end of an era, living in Cambodia, and am trying to distill exactly what this experience has meant to me. The acid came along, and I weighed up the idea of a solo trip, and decided it could be entirely worthwhile.

I know this has been done before, and I'm sure I could use the search engine, but I wanted to try and get down a game plan.

I will have plenty of weed (which I'm going to try and avoid until the latter part of the trip, even though I smoke every night), cigarettes, music and water. I can buy benzos over the counter here too, so I'll be sure to have some some - probably Xanax and Valium, sitting there if required.

I was thinking of dosing at around 11AM. This stuff is apparently good for a solid 8 hours, so that'll put me through to the evening, with a few hours to process it all reasonably sober, before I head to bed.

I'm not in a wonderful frame of mind at the moment, but certainly a contemplative one, and I'm not in the depths of depression or anything, just a little lost. I really want to push the spiritual aspect of this trip - while I'm not going in expecting to discover or learn anything, I do expect to gain some degree of insight, however little, as a result.

So, how can I maximise the self and spiritual discovery process, to get the most out of it? Maybe this is suited to basic drug discussion, but I want to get the input of some of the more dedicated in here....

Thanks.

Thanks man, PM sent.

This might be outside of regulations, but does anyone know of ways I can get suitable books, in soft-copy - online? I don't have access to quality bookstores here, Amazon isn't an option, and I own most of the classics, but they're all back in my home country.

Music suggestions also appreciated. I have my favourites planned - Nightmares on Wax, MGMT, Radiohead (Kid A FTW), Pink Floyd (DSOTM).... Anything uplifting, electronic and suited to the moment would be great..
 
For music I always like Beck when I trip. His new cd is pretty damn good and I actually found a new appreciation for it this past saturday when I was on 175 mics of LSD. Give it a listen.
 
I don't see why some people make such a big deal about tripping alone. If you have experience, it really isn't a big deal at all. Just do what you normally like to do.

What I like about tripping solo is that you can do whatever the fuck you feel like. You don' have anyone there to hold you back. The potentials are limitless. Listen to whatever music you want, watch any movie you want, walk around naked. Just do what makes you feel good.

I don't know anything you can do to maximize the insight. Try meditating before and just having a clear mind. Don't go into the trip with any expectations. Just see what happens, you can really control the revelations. They will come at a time that is most appropriate.
 
^ I completely agree, DMT :).

This is precisely one of the reasons I like tripping alone - you can do pretty much anything that interests you in the moment. I rarely plan anything beforehand and just do whatever feels right - sometimes the things you would expect to be incredible just aren't and you end up finding the greatest of pleasure doing something you never would have expected. It's part of the joy of tripping for me - almost anything can become wonderful :).

Just have a good time with whatever whim takes you :).
 
The best thing about tripping alone (with is how I almost always trip) is that you don't have to wear any social mask, you can be COMPLETELY yourself at all times. There aren't any friends or strangers for you to cater to, and its not just the fact that you can do whatever you want, its the fact that you will FEEL like you can do whatever you want.

I do whatever I want no matter what situation I'm in! :)
 
I love tripping alone as this has been the only way i know of so far. I can truly be myself and express anything i feel (to my environment) and just watch the magic that unfolds.I like the loooong thoughts which bring me back full circle on lsd. On LSD..yeah use the weed towards the end if your not experienced using it on the peak. Remember your "center of peace" the place in your heart where all knowledge is known..where all truth is felt...and where the light of love brings you your power...and if you feel stuck..the only way to be free..is to let it be
