Tripping alone...
    #14060845 - 03/03/11 03:37 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

So as of late I've been delving very deeply into my spiritual practices, spending most of my days meditating, doing pranayama, yoga, reading books, etc...


I am supposed to get some 2c-e this weekend with my friends.  2c-e has a tendency to make me very anti-social and in general when I am around other people on it the experience flies by me in a burst of discomfort and I get nothing out of it. 

When I take psychedelics by myself I have incredibly enlightening, meaningful trips, and I am much more relaxed, content, and I have out of this world visuals.  I can take shrooms around others and be fine, but 2ce and acid are a whole different story.


So my question is, should I tell my friends I would rather trip alone and do so?  They aren't my closest friends, and I rarely chill will them these days.

If I do they may feel offended as though I don't want to trip with them, and I don't want them to feel bad, I think they really want to trip with me, and they are the ones who are helping me get the droogs.

I have reached a stage in life where I don't take psychedelics to feel good or to have fun, I can do that sober.  I take them to learn more about myself, the world, and the subconscious.  I feel like if I trip in on this stuff in a social environment it will end up being a wasted opportunity.


I plan on hanging out with them even if I don't trip...  Do you guys think that it is offensive to them if I choose not to trip with them? Like I said I think they were kind of excited about tripping with me...

Thats how I do it. Just be upfront, "Nah, I'm doing this thing where I'm tripping alone for a while... psychedelic yoga"

Even if it isnt 'just for now'. I dont really have any plans or desires to trip with other people again, unless I'm very very close with them. But even a lot of good friends I wont trip with

Other people just distract you from the real important things happening.

I would say it depends on who your friends are... I have had good spiritual experiences with close friends, but only someone you could say anything to... No judgment, just shared experience

If that is not you're friends, I say excuse yourself and go alone... Recently, I took have been working on my spiritual side, and prefer being alone

Explain this to your friends. Ask them how they feel about it. If they insist that you take it with them, then you should just chill with them sober while they trip and let the opportunity to trip pass you by.

Tell them you want to be the trip sitter.

Trip sitter is a big responsibility. Just being the one sober person in the room does not make you a trip sitter, though it is often nice to have someone with a connection to consensus reality of who you can bounce ideas and check your sanity.

I took 2c-i once before by myself before a 3 hour flight. I don't recommend this at all.

Thanks for the advice everyone.  I'm just going to tell them what I told you guys and trip alone another day.  I'll chill with them sober instead and give them some good vibes on their trips.



And a 3 hour plane flight on 2c-i...  :eek:


...I can't even imagine how intense that would be.
