so a few threads down i saw a thread about tripping on shrooms alone for the first time in your room with yourp arents home. well, i am planning on doing the same thing, but with lsd. next week ill be dropping acid for the first time in my room at night, with my parents asleep. im only doing 1 tab. i want to explore my room, and my mind, as well as listen to my ipod. you guys think this is a good idea? ive read a lot that lsd is easier to handle than shrooms.

no, it's the opposite.
you should wait, imo, until you can do it with a friend.
you may not want to stay indoors. you don't want to feel stuck.
try 1/2 hit first. if you're detirmined to do this, find a friend, now, who'll be able to spend some time talking to you on the phone, in case you feel isolated. and your fave, familiar music & headphones ready.
best wishes!

on my first LSD trip me and my friend walked all over the surrounding towns
all night long, it was such a wonderful time, and a great introduction to lucy
it was nice having someone to share those moments with, i'd wait to dose with a close pal if you can
im a big fan of solo trips, but i think that tripping with a partner really helped make things special that first time

forget everything this person said and stick with your plan.. you will be fine. my first acid trip was exactly as you described and it was incredible. acid is really not a social drug in my opinion, tripping by myself is much more comfortable i find.
trust me, you've got it right. just stick with your plan.

My first LSD experience was just like this too. I was about 16 (7 years ago), and I took one hit of Spiderman blotter (in retrospect was very good for one hit) at around 1030PM and it kicked in at 1130 when everyone was asleep. I had the time of my life watching the Home Shopping Network for hours, laughing my ass off at how absurd it was. I had a LOT of fun that night. I actually was so excited to repeat it, I dosed 72 hours later with 2.5 hits, which was great too. Both alone.
I had, however, had experience with 2C-I (alone first time as well).

I find that I really cannot become bored while on a good dose, no matter where I am. I think you may have been underdosed.
Nah, I had taken 4 hits and was having trouble telling reality apart from my imagination. I was kind of lying about me being bored out of my mind, but I still think I wasted the acid. No matter how impressive the visuals were I didn't find it all that amusing, although I did have some extreme laugh attacks. Also it wasn't the only drug I was on, the dex definitely made this less enjoyable (I was trying it because I love shrooms n dex, but they are nothing alike and it was a terrible idea).
Honestly though visuals don't usually impress me that much, most of the DMT trips I've had seemed like a waste of time because it was just like dreaming for 10-15 mins and I would rather do that at night and not waste my time awake. I'm way too fond of tweaking and dislike laying around and a lot of the time unless I mix in some weed or something I can't enjoy a chill trip.

^wtb, im no psychiatrist, but having trouble discerning reality from your imagination is not good/healthy. as far as i know, the extinguishing of signals between your brain hemispheres (left and right) while tripping simulates the same neurophysiological patterns of a schizophrenic. be confident with your set and setting next time you trip.
I'm confused, I thought not being able to tell reality apart from your imagination is normal when tripping hard? Maybe you're confused what I mean by imagination, I just mean what is produced by the trip.
Like I had a hard time telling where I actually was compared to where I thought I was and I also I tore off an imaginary arm on accident and I actually felt it in my hand and hit myself with it, that was one of the weirdest things I've experienced. But all this seems like normal tripping, the point of ego death kind of means you accept an alternate reality and don't know what reality actually is anymore. I've had a trip where I was stuck in my head and cycling through hundreds of realities and only one of them was the real world, I've never had so much overload in my life, every reality went in every direction it could at once, like I was processing multiple decisions at once.
While recalling that trip I'm starting to think I'm still actually in it, weird. What if the last few years were just a trip.

i enjoy reading other people's advice, even better are people's views of psychedelics. Psychedelics to me draw the line of who's got a dick, and who aint be packin. Seems the weak-minded are easily thrown for a bad trip because they are afraid or arent sure of themselves. They quit watching with their eyes, and instead do so with their brain- letting all other ppl's perceptions, stereotypes, etc become their own to which they have no complete understanding. anyway
OP: do it. you gotta do it alone man. tripping on your own is the discovery of new life - you discover the world for what it is, including yourself. Sure tripping with a group of friends is hella fun, but to do it from an intellectual standpoint is so... refreshing. And its awesome the weeks following a good trip because you have a new outlook on life, a new bounce to your step. Kid Cudi is Mr. SoloDolo for a reason, he's the man on the moon. He's the creator and keeper of his world. As we all are.

What if all of reality, the entire Universe, is "just a trip" being had, perhaps on purpose perhaps via some magical accident, by the original single solitary lonely consciousness?
Read Philip K. Dick's novel UBIK. Also, the V.A.L.I.S trilogy. They will totally blow your mind.
Also consider the following ending monologue from Mark Twain's astounding final book "The Mysterious Stranger"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Stranger
...Mayhem ensues — witch trials, burnings, hangings, deaths and mass hysteria. Satan vanishes with a brief explanation:
"In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever--for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!"
"Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago - centuries, ages, eons, ago! - for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities."
"Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction! Strange, because they are so frankly and hysterically insane - like all dreams: a God who could make good children as easily as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies of mind and body; who mouths justice and invented hell - mouths mercy and invented hell - mouths Golden Rules, and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man, instead of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites this poor, abused slave to worship him!" . . .
"You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier."
"It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!"

thanks for the advice guys, i have another question. so i am getting the acid tomorrow. now tomorrow night is a school night for me. i have heard that you should not take acid on a night where you have something planned the next day. however, im a senior in high school and get out early and dont pay attention or anything in school anyways. so would it be ok to eat the acid at like 8 PM when i have to go to school the next morning at 8 AM?
its not like you will feel shitty after effects the next day.. you will feel fine. the problem is that you probably will not be able to sleep for at least 8 to 10 hours after taking it. so other than being really tired the next day, it shouldnt be a problem.

sometimes I feel trapped, but that would be when I had to go inside and didn't want to. as long as you want to be indoors it should be fine, if you have a pet it'd be so much more fun, i love cuddling my dog and laughing at her when im tripping alone.
Although acid isn't bad about this, quite a few other psychedelics do kind of force you to take all methods of input into consideration and watching with just your eyes isn't possible. I find that high doses of shrooms tend to do this and most others seem to agree. Your view on it makes it seem like you haven't experienced ego death or something.
Yeah, I get bored during solo trips, but I had one good one with my dog. Just sat out on the lawn with him and listened to the sounds of the night and it was pretty amazing. I need to do more planning beforehand so solo is enjoyable, put on some good music and whatnot. Every time I trip solo though I just always wish I was with another person or two, I have little interest in self exploration as the way I grew up and my trips probably played a role, but I do it extensively on my own. I spend too much time solo, I need some fwends :-\

^I was speaking metaphorically. By watching with their eyes I mean an individuals own thoughts and perceptions. They let outside forces control their though process. Thus confusion develops because they fail to fully understand other peoples thoughts- since they are not made on that individuals own, not original. Get what im spittin
