The Big & Dandy Solo Trip Thread

I've flown solo on DOI before. Certainly, if I did not love the visuals accompanying psychedelia, I would have probably gotten sick of the effects after the 8 hour point. Whilest tripping alone, be sure to stay safe--know your limits, have backup plans, don't talk yourself in to anything stupid. Obviously, one should not have their first experience with a given chemical alone, just for safety sake. Since you've doubtless tripped before, however, I would say grab some good music and some good cans and go for it.

Since you are planning to use a tryptamine rather than an amphetamine, I think the experience might be even more rewarding. My solo psilocin / miprocin / iprocin trips have given me a feeling of rather sustained peace, which is something I never came close to before.

I've tripped solo more times than I can count.

It can be a beautiful experience.

in my opinion, if you are comfortable with yourself and psychedelics in general, then you should go for it. I would, however, caution against tripping on a 'deadline' (ie ten hours you have to see your parents). I would rather wait til the schedule is completely clear than trip when its not.

Peace and Love.
 
I've tripped with the intention of it being solo before, but I usually get bored (or just decide it'd be 'cool') to chill with some friends and almost always end up seeking someone out to chill with.
 
My situation seems to be quite similar to Xorkoths. I don't know many folks who are comfortable tripping. I also tend towards introversion and a bit of insecurity in social situations so it's rare for me to feel comfortable enough with folks to trip with them (most of the folks I meet are through work so this isn't too surprising).

Tripping alone can be very rewarding but it's important to be very careful in setting up your situation in advance. Without having others to piece together a consensus reality small unforseen issues can end up alot bigger than they have to. Something as simple as having your smoke detector battery depletion beep commence while tripping alone can be very disturbing. Do your best to eliminate interruptions in advance and set up your situation so that you have a few different sets to move from/to should the character of the experience take on an undesired flavour. Make sure your needs are met in advance as well like light beverages and simple foods like fresh fruit or soups are nice to have easily accessible. If you have animals double check that their needs are taken care of in advance and givem the once over before tripping so that you know they are healthy. My dogs always seem to look at me funny when I'm tripping so I make sure they are healthy beforehand so I know that all the weirdness is in my head.

Samadhi's point about tripping on a deadline is a good one as well. There is more than just being caught intoxicated to consider. I sometimes get irritable or withdraw a bit when coming down so I'm careful not to get too invested in important issues at those times. Everyone is different but parents, even if they don't say anything, can be very sensitive to changes in their kids behaviour .
 
probably 25% of the trips ive had have been by myself pretty much. its good meditation.

the dealine thing is SO REAL. it can make a beautiful trip into a nightmare!
 
Hey guys and girls, thanks heaps for all your comments.

I definitely want to trip solo some time soon but i've come to realise that today is not the day. As mentioned above, the day is full of deadlines. I've just woken up at 6am so that I could have started tripping early because ive got heaps of stuff to do this afternoon, including seeing my parents and driving out to a party. Hence coming down from acid in either of these situations, or the fear of not being clear-headed yet might tarnish the purity of my trip. I think i'll spend the day chilling out and wait until a more appropriate time when I don't have anything to worry about except the present.

Keep the comments coming thoguh, i'm still very curious because I plan on doing this soon!
=)
 
Tripping alone is great, but for me it sort of depends on the substance. 5-MeO-DMT, DMT, Salvia etc is something I would prefer to have a sitter present for, but those substances are a bit different, because I think you are more or less on your own during the peak effects anyway.

I also don't think I'd want to use Ayahuasca by myself, at least not in the same doses I had with a shaman.

MDMA solo can also be incredible, but best saved for special occasions in my opinion.
 
Tripping on DOB by myself was intense. My walls were melting. My ceiling was melting. It was badass. Then while I was sitting at my desk, this "slug" looking thing oozed out of my ear and was face-to-face with me. It had pointed ears and sharp teeth and reminded me of the devil for some reason. It just sat in front of my face smiling at me for a little bit. It wasn't scary though, more interesting.


I love tripping!! =D


you should keep some benzos handy if you are worried about having a bad trip since you'll be isolated from nearby people.

i've had really good trips by myself on 2cb, 2c-c and 2c-e. also had some super strong headmashs tho where i've been tripping balls and had to get out of my room and mission to my mates. strange journey with visions of people in the distance, but they were really just pillar boxes! lol. i like being alone tho, being able to enjoy the trip and explore it fully. sometimes the closeness and animal eroticisms of 2c's make having my gf cuddled up close tripping away with me too! :D
 
I trip by myself most of the time...
Some drugs are purely social (2cb comes to mind)
Others can just get odd with high doses.
I find I am more comfortable taking high doses by myself than with someone.
But that's just me.
Plus, most of my friends are sorta pussy trippers-they take half an eigth of mushrooms and are 'wiggin out', while I sit there chill on 30mg 2ct2 and just go, 'man, he has no idea..."
I like to control my trip-listen to whatever I want to, do whatever I want to, without having to consult someone else.

The only exception to that is my friend Andrew, he's my brother and we're literally practically the same person, so if I get an idea tripping, he'll probably be about to say the same thing, so it works out.

Be careful though...you DO trip harder by yourself. I've gotten completely lost in the head on 2cb and DPT (not together) during the peak, and it was intense.
 
exsctly andy, thats why its sometimes nice to have my gf nearby so i can cling to her snd feel a lil more mentally secure and comfortable! lol
 
If you love the psychedelic experience and are going to be in a place you feel completely at home in, there's nothing to worry about. Just take a low dose though, because no matter where you are high doses makes things so unpredictable that it's always best to have someone around to trip-sit. Spending the day hiking around in a lovely place you're familiar with sounds like a good trip.

On a beautiful weekend where I have no serious obligations, it's great to take a hit of LSD as soon as I roll out of bed and just go wherever the mood takes me. One of these days I'm going to do it and just spend the entire day riding buses all around town, with a few books and a notepad & pen in my bookbag. (It's weird, but I've spent so many hours of my life reading and writing on the bus that I've come to associate it with having epiphanies.) People-watching on acid is fun too, sometimes you feel like an anthropologist from another galaxy.
 
i would consider myself experienced in the world of pyschedelics.

still, Ive only tripped by myself one time and it was my first time eating 2ci (at which i found out was at a pretty high dosage afterwards). It was fun for a couple hours than I just wanted it too end. PLus while tripping the next morning (i ate the dose at like 3 in the morning) I had to chat with a cop about a car accident....

Now that im fairly comfortable with trippin, and have nothing to do at all this weekend, and after reading all your post, I to think Im gonna eat some acid alone and see how things go tomorrow.
 
my first and only time having LSD was at my mates house. He lived in the gatehouse for a cemetary as his dad was a gravedigger as was my mate at the time. From what another mate said it wasn't that strong but i thought what the hell. the first signs of it was when i was playing with a carter usm sleeve. it has black filled circles in rows and columns on a white background. as i turned it side to side i got tracer images in multi-clours. i went for a walk round the cem as it was a nice summer evening. there are lots of trees there and i remember looking at huge oak trees in the distance, they looked so detailed and beautiful but at the same time like a perfect oil painting. the only other major thing i got was when standingin his back yard having a spliff, i was looking at the whitewashed walls. parts of the whitewash and brick were bubbled and crumbling, and parts of the whitewash had black patchs. the dark areas got lighter and light patchs got darker, swirling and merging in nice blobs. felt a lil wierd when i was coming down back home. i prefer my 2c's now, but wouldn't mind trying a nice LSD blot at some point this summer
 
I prefer to trip solo on the 2c-x series of chems(well, DOI too), but I prefer to be around other trippers on psilocybin, and any of its analogs I have tried. I dont have a preference with lsd.
 
DOC is incredible with other people I've discovered recently. I had only taken it alone previously.

This is definitely true. But I've also noticed that I need to throw in some social trips or, over time, tripping alone becomes routine, because you've got no new material.
 
I prefer tripping alone anymore. Probably because I have anxiety issues mostly, and tripping intensifies that feeling. Being alone allows for a more introspective time and feels more rewarding to me. But if I'm with a good friend that is cool too. I definately won't trip around a bunch of people I've just met because it's just too nervewracking.
 
Tripping alone is great and introspective.

First timers/inexperienced people should not do psychedelics alone. Know your limits, or you might become an hero ;)
