The Big & Dandy Solo Trip Thread

If you are doubting yourself. It probably isn't a good idea. I am triping alone atm though. :D

If you have any doubts about your ability to handle a psychedelic, the best advice i can give you is to take a small dose.

I think tripping alone can be fun, but tripping alone for the first time you ever trip is perhaps less of a good idea. You would be better off with a close friend who you trust and who isn't going to make fun of you if you act a little crazy.

I tripped by myself when I first tried shrooms.

Best. Experience. Ever. I seriously don't find tripping w/ other people fun. They distract my insane thoughts.

But you know, to each their own.
 
Tripping alone has distinct advantages over tripping with others, but also has disadvantages.

The main advantage I see whilst tripping alone is that it allows you more freedom to 'explore'. Basically meaning, more freedom to do and act as you wish.
I mean, sometimes, even when you are with best friends, you can sometimes feel slightly restricted whilst tripping. This is my opinion anyway!
Tripping alone allows me to explore stuff about myself and my life in a much deeper way.
When I trip alone, it's always a lot more 'ritualistic', and I feel i'm using said plant/chemical as a powerful tool rather than for pure recreation.
I plan it all maticulously days in advance, think about what i'd like to try and 'explore', what set and setting is appropriate.
It's always a deeply personal affair.

But it does have it's disadvantages.
Feelings of 'loneliness' or 'isolation' can pop up on some psychedelics, and at these times it's always good if you have people you trust around to counter-act these feelings if they arise.
Being alone, those feelings can sometimes get out of hand.
Sometimes if you are tripping very hard you need people around to ground you again, though like mentioned previously, once you are experienced and used to the effects of psychedelics, this becomes much much easier, and none of these neagtive reactions should turn into any significant problems........But then again, you never really know for sure!

So, my opinion is that you probably shouldn't trip alone the first times until you have gained some experience.

Though saying this, my first ever trip was with morning glory seeds, and I loved it. Though the second time was a very dark trip.
And also , my first true mushroom experience (4 or 5 grams) was by myself, which was quite foolish because I was naive and thought it was just going to be a shorter, less intense version of an acid trip! That trip wasn't all bad, had some really great moments, but I wish i'd taken them around people the first time bcos although it was similar to acid, it had a lot of different effects too!
 
^You brought up advantage and disadvantage very well. I agree with all of them, but have some to add...

Two days ago, I had trip with 4 very good friends. And two of them I know when I was very little child and can remember.

The trip started good, but when effects got stronger, I felt more and more pulled away from them. I saw how well they connected and had group feeling. I just didn't connect with the "wave lenght" they were in. I had delusion that they were playing trick on me and because of that, I had very bad mind fuck. It can be said, that it was bad trip, but for me, bad trips are thous, that are most educational.

I'm different from friends and half the time they don't understand me or they interpret me wrong. We have had great time together in past, but this time we didn't connect and they didn't understand me.

What I learned from here, was that my brain functions better when I'm alone. I don't need to worry about others and theres muck less things to interpret for me.

In conclusion, even with friends, there maybe times when you don't connect and are different wave set. It varies from person to person. Some find more advantage tripping with friends and other alone.

Yeah, absolutely.... This has happened once or twice to me, being unable to connect to the other people around me , feeling slightly isolated.

I also agree with you to an extent about you feeling more comfortable with your mind alone.....I think I can get a lot more out of tripping alone. I feel safer, but certainly don't mind tripping outside occasionally too!
 
Take a couple of valium and some painkillers and a hit of good (or 5 hits of todays acid) and you will find it is the only way to fly. It is great all your's, all your thoghts everything, there are no distractions. You can go deep. BOOYA FOR TRIPPING ALONE!!!!!
 
I thought you meant LSD

You freak out on pot? Stay away from all psychadelics. And no mushrooms are not "more mental than acid" they taste shitty, make you puke, and 1/8 oz is not half as strong as a phat acid hit.
Quit being such pussies and go on a phsychonaught adventure, eat the weed and mushrooms and go out to the woods or your room or wherever. If you flip out you'll always come down with a funny story.
 
^^ What? Honestly, what are you talking about? Mushrooms, do not make you puke. To some it does most it dosen't. I've tripped with plenty of people and have never once seen anyone puke after eating the mushrooms. I'm not saying what you have stated is wrong but you're making it out to seem that everyone who eats mush will puke.. Wrong.

Yes mushrooms do not make everyone puke, and not always me, however the ingetstion is unpleasant. And I have had lots of good mushrooms of many varieties but they do not compare to 1 hit of really well made acid. SOrry, but you have never had any good LSD.
 
Blah blah blah, but you have neverhad any good mushrooms. It's a matter of personal opinion if you ask me.
_______________

Anyways, I really enjoy tripping alone. It's something everyone should venture to do at some point.

this has to be one of the most ignorant posts to ever grace this board, ..first off i know many people who have done lsd multiple hundreds of times and still cant handle weed well. they find it makes thier mind race, and people get uncomfortable with that... "mushrooms make u puke" ( ok the above posts are enough of a rebuke to this) .."an 8th is not as strong as a phat acid hit" .... sounds to me the only shrooms u eat are the kind u find in pizza hut..."if u flip out you will always come down with a funny story"... 8)
 
he's right tho,

badboyblue.. u've had a psychotic bad trip from pot & pot is a very mild hallucinogen... I can only imagine how bad you could flip out from mushies or acid....

DXM might suit you more because that's a dissociative & not a true hallucinogen but I'd be careful though... To me it sounds like you're border line schizofrenic and getting high Made the disease visible for you for the first time... harder stuff like acid, dex or mush COULD fuck you up permanently

WTF?

Maybe he just had a bad reaction to it? Maybe he just had a panic attack?

Did you think of that before using your expert medical knowledge in diagnosing him as a 'borderline schizophernic'? lol!

I too, have had some very negative reactions with pot in the not so-distant past, which is why now I only smoke it in controlled environments and in careful very responsible amounts. I put the anxiety and increase in negative effects down to reckless and very frequent heavy use a couple of years ago , especially through college....

However, this doesn't mean I have the same reaction with 'true' psychedelics.
Sure, i've had some pretty bad trips, but i've also had some absolutely incredible ones. I have always managed to turn it into a positive regardless....

I've certainly never had a panic attack on all 5 psychedelics i've taken that matches or comes anywhere close to ones i've experienced on pot (or indeed speed).

Although I agree that he should definately start with a low dose and build up if comfortable. Though that's my advice to anyone first trying out psychedelics.
 
tripping alone is amazing if you can handle it.. the first time i tripped alone was on shrooms.. i just lay in my bed the whole time with the lights off. pitch black. i just enjoyed the light show. i find visuals are ALOT more intense when you trip alone because you have nobody there to distract your attention. i find when i trip with other people i find myself getting obsessed with their trip and how they are feeling rather then my own thoughts and emotions.. when im alone this dosnt happen and the mind has much more energy to concentrate on accessiing the deep reaches of my psyche.

i recomend tripping alone because there is nothing like it however ease yourself into it.. first timers to tripping in general dont try this .. first timers should always trip with someone else!

lol awwww...i feel really bad now.

sorry man!








*Took some mushrooms 5 hours ago...I can reaffirm, tripping alone is fucking cool! lol
 
if you have to ask if tripping alone is a good idea, then maybe you arent ready to handle it. If you cant control your trip then be with people who make you feel at home and a good enviroment. If you cant handle your trip then, dont do it alot inless you want to hate it for the rest of your life
