Eat 7g solo or 3.5/3.5 /w friend?

I have tripped once before where my friend and I split an eigth. I experienced some impressive visuals and had a very good trip.
I have a quarter of shrooms for my second time around, I can't decide which one of these 2 possibilities would be best and would like to hear your input:
1. Ask a friend to join me, we each take 3.5 grams. If I do it with a friend, I am not staying in the house - we would most likely go to the zoo/aquarium. I know on 3.5 grams I will be able to control myself, but I would worry that something could go wrong for my friend.
2. I take a quarter to the face. I really tap into my brain and just trip in my room where I can smoke as much weed as I would like and just relax to music, tv, or whatever as I fade on 7 grams.
I ask this because the opportunity does not present itself very often. I use shrooms as a way to learn, not so much just trip ballz like some people do. My first time around I learned to appreciate nature, and my second time I would like to learn something else. About myself or animals or ?

If you're interested in learning, dosing the quarter is the way to go 
7g will be pretty strong, so make sure you're ready for it. You won't forget it though

I always end up splitting whatever I have with friends because I prefer to spread the love and have the experience with them.
Some prefer solo tripping, others can't handle it... me I just prefer to be with friends and enjoy everyone being on the same level and seeing some crazy shit together. It makes trying to explain what you saw/what happened too sober people much easier when you have a friend there saying that he/she saw it and was there too as well.
It really depends on you and what your hoping to get out of the experience. If you want deep spiritual introspect either trip solo, or pick the right person to trip with, some people are spiritual others just like to party. If your friend is the type of person that will trip with you and still let you zone out from time to time and have a moment of spiritual divinity by yourself, I find that always helps. If your friend is the type of person who takes a substance to "Get fucked up" then it's probably only going to be a burden while your trying to break free and let yourself go as far into the trip as it sounds like your looking at getting. If it was me though, as long as it was the right friend, I would lemon tek 3.5 G's each, and enjoy the ride together.

I know it will be strong. Possibly too strong, but I'll live. It comes down to boredom.

I agree on finding someone with the same mindset as me. The problem is that last weekend 3 of my good friends tripped so they aren't going to want to this weekend. I would find someone else, but it wouldn't be as close of a friend.
I feel like tripping solo I would learn so much..but Can someone really trip for 6+ hours by themselves without losing their mind?
-I will definitely do the lemon tek thing, I did it last time too. -I never got the chance to smoke weed while tripping last time, I definitely want to do that this time. Do you recommend it only on the comedown, or anytime is fine?

A quarter will really fuck up our reality.
I would suggest spiting it.
Wait for a few more time before you jump to higher doses of shrooms. 8 grams last weekend was something else....
Tread lightly and respect it is my words. Give it some more time.
Just saw your last post RP, I have had funner and better or even more introspective trip with friends and or my wife.
A solo trip can be hard. Boredom, no one to talk to, it is easy to get uncomfortable. If your music stops or or your movie stops playing with a computer or digital device can be and in my experience very tough.

To the question can someone trip alone for 6 hours. Yes, I prefer to trip alone because my friends are a little stupid. They like to get fucked just for the sake of getting fucked up. I like to trip when I find myself in a personal dilemma. The mushrooms then take over and fix the impurities in my brain. I then feel at piece and one with myself again.
As for the weed, I wouldn't on that high of a dose.

I prefer tripping hard solo as opposed to tripping with people. I usually get kinda freaked out on boomers when I'm around a group, or even just one person, even if it's a good friend. That's just me though. 7 g's would be a very heavy trip, which sounds like what you're after, if you want to explore the spiritual side of things. I'd eat all 7 grams and trip face, especially if you don't get boomers regularly and you might not have a chance to do it again. But that's just me. Prepare for a mindfuck tho.

yes its perfectly possible to make it through a trip solo for some people, others not so much. I guess if you have tripped before and felt the crazy anxiety you can get from uncomfortable situations and you know you can deal with that, then you can probably trip solo.
For me my problem with solo was that I had all of my first experiences in a group setting, and I never felt comfortable tripping alone after the extreme anxiety I got, it just builds up and builds up and you get the feeling that things are going bad and it's just going to get worse. It can be a very nasty spiral which can only be dodged by having a friend there to tell you everything is alright sometimes.
If you consider yourself mentally able, and fairly headstrong I would say go for a solo trip. If you have any doubts though you should deal with them before the trip otherwise you may have to go through some hard times through the trip. If you do trip solo, posting here at the shroomery seems to work well for a lot of people, if you get uncomfortable just come here and find someone relaxed to talk to and get some good vibes from people who know what your going through.
Be safe, know your limits, and don't dose too high if you trip solo, lemon tek with 7 G's by yourself could be very VERY intense.
With the weed question, sure weed is great all throughout a trip, but I find it too be better with shrooms at about the 4-6 hour mark, around the start of the comedown. I don't like to spoil the trip with too much weed early on, and I find that if you have a few tokes on some nice bud towards the end, you can bring yourself back into the trip somewhat and then gradually ease yourself down slowly back into reality.

Well #1 scenario you wont be able to deal in public, guarantee that.
#2 You wont be chillen or smoking anything, you'll be far to high to do so. If you take all 7 grams you will probably lose your ability to move, and have an out of body experience. I can almost guarantee it will be too much for you.

I've never done 7 grams but it sounds like it would be too intense for you with your limited experience.
How about lemon tekking about 5 grams and saving the remainder for yourself on a day where you might want a more casual, fun, trip?

thats all a matter of how you handle it my normal dose for a situation where i want to trip but be in public and able to function at least passably is 4g
as for the OP's question.... i'd say if you have never done a solo trip, go for it.... it can be an awesome experience

I appreciate all the quick replies - I've read/acknowledged them all. I am having trouble with this forums quoting system though, lol.
I like this last reply a lot. I am now leaning towards inviting a friend who has never tripped and giving them 2grams, while I experience 5gs. My first time was 2gs so this should be a good jump and I can also help my friend with what to expect.
I still want the learning aspect, but I may keep this trip to my house. 5gs seems like it could get iffy, since my first time I only did 2gs (even though we left the house and went to a nature museum, 2gs compared to 5gs is very different from what I'm anticipating)
Suggestions on things I should watch/do to maximize realizations/learning experiences? Ex. discovery channel.
First trip I went to a nature museum, and really became one with nature. I now appreciate nature more than I could have ever imagined. I'd love for something like this on my second trip.

If they are quality and this is only your second time tripping... I highly recommened you do NOT eat 7 grams. It's best to work up slowly and gain some experience before you go THAT balls deep. The differance between 1.75 to 7 grams is the differance between feeling a little bit tripped out and having the fabric of reality torn to pieces for 4-5 hours on end.
I have lots of experience with psychedelics... and I would consider 7 grams to be a pretty serious deal. You would probably get everything your looking for out of an 8th and you can always go higher when you have more experience.
Play it safe man.

totally missed the part where OP's only other trip was a half eighth somehow.... I'd go with Sub on this one and ease your way up a bit
as for what to do.... if i'm trying to zone out and connect with the universe and whatnot i generally just stick to a dark room with some good tunes.... i feel like i'm missing out on like 80% of the trip if i try to watch a movie or anything like that

You might not want a full 5 on your second trip. The effects don't increase linearly with dosage: there's a much much larger difference between 2.5 and 3.5 than 1.5 and 2.5, for example. If you got pretty cool visuals and a decent trip from 2gs, 3.5 will utterly blow your mind without completely shredding reality.
As for stuff to do or watch at home, I've always liked watching the "Blue Planet" series. It's never given me bad vibes, and is cool as all hell while tripping.
Although, if you think it will be a while (months) before you get some more shrooms, you can go all in, just be prepared for some really really heavy stuff.

I say its however you so choose. If I had 2 eights I'd probly share one. I think it is very fun to have an experience shared with a beloved friend. But then again I would not mind eating 7 grams and going walking in my woods. Just would be sweet. Its up to you obviously. This decision can only be made with the person in control. i.e. you. And I do not know the circumstances you face. However I'd more than likely share it, unless I planned to do them on a day..and on that day I ended up all alone.

Shrooms strength increases exponentially, 4 grams isn't twice as strong as the 2 gram trip. It's about 3-5x stronger. Five grams will be about 6-8 times stronger than your 2 gram dose. 7 grams will easily be 10-20x the strength of your 2 gram trip, and so on.
Be ready to have your reality absolutely destroyed, and probably send your rookie friend on a bad first trip, as he watches you fall apart.

I also never mentioned that these shrooms are weaker than the ones I split my first trip. I know this because both of my friends ate a full eigth and barely experienced any visuals. I decided to go with 5gs and my friend will eat 2gs. I will eat them on an empty stomach using the lemon thing and update this later this week (most likely friday).
If I'm alive...
