Tripping alone

[Bad_Boy_Blue]

Perhaps this would be better to Drug Basics... I couldn't decide.

I was wondering if it would be extremely dangerous for me to trip on shrooms for the very first time alone? The reason being that I would have an extreme feeling of anxiety about making myself look like a fool in front of any person(s) with me. This might induce a bad trip...

Although, on the other hand I am worried about how I will react to psychedelics drugs. The first time I used cannabis, I ended up in hospital suffering from a psychotic rage. I wasn't even that high - my brain just couldn't handle the altered perception and as a result it sent me off the deepend. But, I have come to realise that all drugs are different and that just because I reacted badly to cannabis certain does not mean mushrooms will affect me badly.

I'm only really asking for safety reasons. I plan to trip for the first time completely away from civilisation (deep in a forest during at dawn) so that I don't do anything illegal.

This doesn't belong in this forum.

However, Cannabis is known to produce anxiety and panic attacks in some people. It's not uncommon. ..And you are right in saying that you may not necessarily react that way with mushrooms, though you still should be cautious. It's not the best of ideas to trip by yourself for the first time, though if you decide to, you should at least have someone to either check in with you somehow, or be available in case you needed medical or psychological attention.

I was going to say you might be better posting in psychadelic drugs, but I see you've already done so

I would be a little wary of tripping alone, especially away from civilisation as you said you plan to. If you get into trouble in any way, it's a long way to go for help...

If you are with a friend who is an experienced tripper, they'll understand what you are going thru & be able to help talk you through any feelings of anxiety you may experience

Consider anti-anxiety meds? Some valium or even opiates do magic to get rid of any anxiety during my trips. Both mushrooms and cannabis make me very anxious, so be careful and have a sitter. Start low too, people react differently to each drug.
