The Big & Dandy Solo Trip Thread

I have had several trips on my own, and the lack of human inteference always makes it more introspective, however, being of an unstable mind, i always dredge through alot of issues which can be very uncomfortable. I always get a feeling of being intensely lonely. However my solo trips were at home and not in nature. Im sure a natural setting would ease the loneliness. I have never felt alone in a natural setting.
My advice would be low doses and a short time frame. If you know your time up there is limited, you will try to make the most out of it. Try not to avoid stimulation ie flowers colours trees etc. Although these may prevent introspective thought, they will provide inspiration for revelations.
My thought is that your trip will be very intense and not neccesarily enjoyable in a hedonistic sense, but it will give you profound insights that you can take back with you to reality.
To me, it sounds like quite a brave thing to do. Wilderness = unknown and trip into self = more unknown. Basically you will be conquering the unknown and it will be the most rewarding experience you could have.
Peace.
& Good luck.
 
tripping alone in my room on 50g of mushrooms was one my best experiences ever, the drugs play and delve into your mind in way unimaginable. Feelings of entities were quite common, i have never had this by tripping with another person. Of course LSD in its duration and effects is a different drug entirely; the original poster's question is something i would like to do very much in the near future only i think i will have to become acquainted with the drug in question first. Black octagon if you do this i would like to read your report very much; in fact i can't wait to read it!

Im sure you will be fine, i wouldn't worry about other people interefering in your experience: as WHO wants to approach someone quite literally out of his mind in the middle of some woods!8o

good luck! and may i send good tripping vibes your way=D
 
Completely agree

When I take my LSD, i am normally taking it with about 3-4 of the same people everytime. Its fun as hell but the first time i took it alone, it was one of the greatest experiances. I no longer had to constantly hear people tripping out repeating stupid ass comments they said about 40 times already. Gets annoying and makes me loose it kind of. When i trip by myself im not just some stupid moron laughing at anything, even though the social trip is fun as shit. but i seem to understand things perfectly, take certain things on tv in 20 diffferent ways meaning like emotions and whatnot. i can completely take 1 situation and turn it into something else, i dunno im rambling on but tripping alone rules for the exploration of your mind, and with some pink floyd or syd barrett solo shit its fucking awesome
 
unfortunately, my little expedition to the mountains won't take place for about three weeks yet. But fear not, a trip report will definitely be coming your way. It will just be a single (STRONG!) blotter this first time, and I'll try to write some detailed notes on how the solo experience compares to the social/party environment. thanks again for all your useful feedback.
 
You got guts mate! I certainly wouldn't do acid alone out in the wild by myself, maybe daytime would be ok. but alone, dark, tent, with nothing but my thoughts and weird animal/insect sounds would definately freak the crap outta me on acid.

im down for acid by myself at home though :)
 
I did acid on my own and it was incredibly boring. I think I need human interaction to stimulate my thoughts.
 
I, too, can agree with those who have had meaningful (and enjoyable) experiences with LSD in a solo setting. While I have never gone to such "extreme" solo lengths as camping, I have found that an empty home (my own, of course) can be a great environment just as well. Or, strolling through the city or a large park for a few hours alone has also been equally profound. I do try to avoid putting myself in situations where I might run into casual aquaintances when conducting such experiments, however. On a related note, one of the best experiences I have ever had with any psychedelic has been a relatively high dose of LSD (first time with a particular kind of blotter -- much stronger than anticipated) alone in my house with my basset hound. A loyal dog is THE BEST tripping companion, in my opinion. When the going got tough for a few minutes during the peak, we both hid under my bed covers like two little kids and that seemed to put me at ease for the remainder of the experience. Wonderful.
 
I have a question.
I have never tripped before and was planning on doing it in my own house by myself. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to drink some alcohol with it because i get really bad anxiety sometimes and i think there is a chance i would get very paranoid and have a bad trip... Does alcohol help any with this or does it just kill the trip?


I figured i would ask you guys since you are sort of on the subject anyways with going camping while on it. I am new to acid, so i honestly don't know a whole lot about how it is affected by alcohol.
 
No offense Motox786, but it doesn't seem to me like you've gone to much trouble to find out some very basic things about acid. Taking a powerful psychedelic such as this is not recommended if you know so little about it. Since this is not the thread for such discussion, I'll give you a hand.

http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd.shtml will give you hours of reading and related links. But if you want to stick to Bluelight then I suggest you use the search engine. There are countless threads on this site with information about taking acid.

Also keep in mind that I'm being EXTREMELY polite right now. Usually if you butt into a thread and start asking questions that are not only unrelated to the thread topic, but also have been asked and answered so many times already, then you're likely to get a rude reply from angry Bluelighters. So please USE THE SEARCH ENGINE, because under normal circumstances I might be inclined to respond to your post like this:

"For God's sake use the fucking search engine (UTFSE)! There are plenty of resources out there on Bluelight and the internet that will answer these basic questions. Asking them here is just unnecessarily harming the coherence of my thread. Anyone with an elementary knowledge of LSD would know that to take it alone for the first time is highly unrecommended. If you can't find an answer to something, THEN post it on here."

That's a bit extreme, but it's quite a regular thing to see on Bluelight. An archive is kept so that questions don't have to be repeated ad infinitum, and so that threads can stay on-topic.
 
Sorry. i was a little fucked up at the time... Go ahead and bash me for that. I hate when people do that too.

I am interested in shrooms and lsd though and will read that article. I have a feeling though that they are not drugs i should be doing because i am a very paranoid person. I will read up on it though. and thanks for going easy on me
 
Hi guys,

I have been searchign through these "tripping alone" threads, and am considering doing it myself. My friend and I were going to go halfs in a tab, but he has since pulled out due to some personal shit that has been going on with him. Anyways, thsi will be my 2nd time doing acid. I plan to have it at his house (as i have family at mine). I will be by myself, with some music, notepad, and some childhood books/movies (ie, alice in wonderland, fantasia etc).

Do you think i will be okay? my friend lives down the road and i'll tell her what i'll be getting up to, so if anythign goes wrong i can always call her. I dont really want her to be with me as this will be the last time doing anything for ages and i really want to have a semi-powerful introverted experience.

I think i will be okay, but the only worry i have is of the cat that my friend has. I really really, dontl ike it, and i think it doesnt like me. Actualyl, im sure it doesn't like me. Perhaps i should just put it in another room before hand?

What are your suggestions?
 
Sounds great, be sure to stay safe.

I just wanted to know, what part of the country is this?

Will you meet up with wild animals?
 
i have had one experience with LSD by myself. I had 2 hits of microdot and i was on the phone with my friend after school and i really wanted to get high bad and the only way i could get to my friend's house to trip was to walk and he lived the next town over which was quite a walk, so i told him im gonna snort a hit and half and meet him at his house and hook him up with half (because thats all he wanted). So anyway i snorted it and off i went.. by the time i got to the top of my road everything was moving, i was in my neighbourhood and i knew i instantly needed to get to a private spot, so i ran to the train tracks, where i sat for 5 mins and thought. I realized how high i was and i needed to get myself together and be ready for a journey. So off i went, what a trip, all by myself with a pair of sunglasses on and my arms tucked into my jacket and smiling the whole time, eventually i made it there, 2 hours later, and when i finally spoke to him it was soo wierd, my first contact with a human in 2 hours, it felt good, but durin the 2 hrs. having no contact with anyone wasnt bad either, i didnt feel like i was going to snap or anything, i just flowed it out with a nice walk, beautiful day it was too, i enjoyed it much, and probably would do it again! but i perfer to be with friends.. have fun.

p.s. anyone like to comment on my spelling? it seems that people do
 
in the past week i have been lucky enough to experience LSD for the first few times. i live near some redwood forests so the scenery around here is great. i was alone in the forest for a three seperate days (never slept out there, just stayed out real late and came back to my bed around sunrise).just went with cd player, soda, water, and ciggs.

it was weak liquid cid though..i tried 2 hits a couple times and 4 hits once..i got nothing amazing from any of it. i was planning on being alone though because i want to use acid for more than just getting fucked up and hanging out..it deserves more than that. i did it a bunch of times because i never got a full trip with intense visuals. the buzz was always good but the visuals were not strong. anyway i never had a problem with it. to prepare for my trips ive been reading up (Huxley's "Heaven and Hell" and "Doors of Perception" or Tim Leary's stuff) as much as i can on the subject. i felt well prepared for the trips and never really had many negative thoughts at all.

you probably have already, but if not- read up on ego loss and set and setting. search here.
 
Solitary acid experiences can get very, and I repeat, VERY intense.

My last experience went kind of like - my ego shredded apart, and my awareness became a telescope into my body, I zoomed so far in, and became aware of a physiological network which was operating within my body. Think of it as a 3d computer motherboard... very extreme experience, it's been about 2 months now and i have no plans for dropping for a long time.

I don't regret the experience, as I have transformed quite a bit from it (in a positive way). But these trips have dissociated me quite a bit from society... more introversion. This could be seen as something negative, but I see it as the beginning of a new start.
 
I always trip alone, and never had a problem, but that was only at home.

I also tend to get very introspective when I trip. I haven't used LSD before, but your plan sounds good to me. It sounds like it could produce a very spiritual trip, and it sounds like it would be a beautiful place, plenty of natural beauty to enjoy. Lots of things to look at.

I've always wanted to go way out into a forest or to the ocean on a beach somewhere where there are no other people around. Or in the mountains.

I think tripping alone is an awesome idea...as long as you're experienced and you're in a comfortable environment. Everytime I've been tripping I've been with people...and usually the same people...but nearly every time, I try to find some time to myself because that's when I really get the most out of it. If you're gonna go camping, maybe spend a day or two out there first before you have anything just so you're familiar with the terrain?

For the people who haven't done it before though...I would really err on the side of caution. While it's quite possible that you might have an excellent first time on acid on your own, it's also quite possible that you might feel completely out of your depth and without any way of combatting it because there's nobody around you to turn to for help.

Them's my 2 cents on the issue anyways..
 
I've only tripped on acid alone once, and 'intense' certainly was the apt adjective. Tripping alone can be very very rewarding, much moreso than large groups in which it is difficult to transcend the inevitable psychedelic silliness.

Having said that, tripping alone has nothing (in my experience) over the companionship and guidance of a patient, loving trip sitter...
 
I have a very stable sense of who I am in reality, which has proven to be of great assistance in not losing myself during an acid trip.
I'm the one who always ends up having to calm down others and make sure other people don't freak out.

SO hell yeah I do it solo, it's my favorite drug. :D
