Well, for your first time, it's best to trip with some friends than alone because you don't really know what to expect and things could get weird, although they're gonna get weird whether you're alone or not.

Eh, I can't pick either. Poll far from covers an exhaustive list of scenarios.
I tripped at an alcohol-fueled party of casual friends, my brother, and strangers. Out of the 30+ people there, I'm not sure if more than a couple others were tripping on mushrooms. I spent the first 2/3 of the trip around people. The last portion was spent essentially completely alone because everyone was passed out.

I voted with friends.
My first trip with LSD was with 1 good friend, 1 acquaintance, 1 person I just met, then going to another persons house where another new face was. Then i went to a concert to see Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and Alice in chains. It was a blast.
Now if we are talking shrooms (my only other psy i am experianed with) I would not want to do what I did with the LSD.
In any case, a small group of close friends, maybe around 3-4 would be a great time.
Doing it solo your first time... I am not sure i would recommend it. Some people could easily handle it while others might find it difficult. Besides if it's just you and a few others you can always go someplace quiet and alone for a bit.

For my first time, I tripped with some friends who were experienced with psychedelics. I'm always afraid of tripping alone just in case things start going bad, I like to have someone there to assure me that everything will be okay.

Go back to the pub. You can cast a blank vote to see the results and other would not pertain to the question. It is a 2 question poll for a reason, since it is a question posed with 2 outcomes.

meh both choices are linda over analyzed. tris really dont need to be planned out. just feel comfortable when the time is right. i voted with friends, cause it is best to be with other people, though once your tripping... your tripping... its gonna run its course and at that point if your with a friend it might not mtter. you both are gonna go through a possible struggle, this could be nice to share and ahve a acomplis to experience this with, but you will bothbe out of control. be sure to feel stable and loose yo. ride that bitch, go with whatever. best bet: trip with someone more experienced in the circumstance. have a 'safe zone always' until your at a more comfortable experienced level

Doing it with random strangers is obviously one possibility. As i did.
Doing it with acquaintances (opposed to 'really good friends').
A significant other.
Family
etc.
As i said, invalid poll.

i think it all depends on what kind of person you are and what you r looking for out of it. in my younger days I tripped to get fuked up. now I usually do it for more spiritual reasons or to clear my mind or expand depends,

I agree with you there, When I first did mushrooms I did it with my friends and close ones at that. Now that I'm a little older and not out chasing highs I do it for more of a learning/religious experience than anything. The last time I tripped I did it by myself in the woods, this was my first experience completely alone and prob one of my milder but better ones yet. Def tend to appreciate the experience a lot more by ones self in my opinion.

Although its nice to have a safty net (trip sitter), I think its better to do it alone to get the REAL feel for the trip... Groups take away from the mind expanding aspects of the trip imo.

1st time i did shrooms i did it with one of my close friends and his 2 sisters wanted to watch then towards the end some of other friends came over who were just begining to trip on some shrooms.
1st time i did acid was with the same person i did shrooms with and it was a crazy night, he lives in the country and at the end of his dirt road were cops with their flashing lights on for a good portion of the trip and we randomly heard a loud as scream from where the cops where at then it was all silent again

My first shroom & LSD trips were with group of 4 other friends, with one of us sober. Great experiences, though I did feel a little brought down by the straight-edge guy. Helped keep perspective though.
Nowandays I am more comfortable spending a long evening alone on either of these drugs. It allows me to pay more attention to my mind and surroundings without distractions.
On the odd occasion that I do trip at a party, I am more in control because I understand myself on drugs more.

The first time I tripped, I was with two friends. One was sober and one was tripping. When I was with the one tripping I felt like we were on the same level and we could understand each other perfectly. (although spiritual conversation was never started between us until the end of the trip)
When I talked to the sober person it simply brought me down and made me feel sober...
I went off by myself for alot of the trip and that is when I felt best and had spiritual experiances. I find it hard to think philosophically with others distracting me.
Alone is definately best. Although a sitter is a good thing to have for the first trip, I definately perfer tripping alone.

i was 14 or 15 lived in fla, went out to a feild, got 2 big fat slimy cubes, and a couple copes and some ones i can't remember, got the shit scared out of me by a bull that snorted and was less than 15 feet behind me(luckily i was right by the gate) ran and jumped the fucking gate like a kenyan,rode my bike back home and made tea, i triple boiled them, drank what wouldn't fit in my water bottle, and rode my bike headed for my probation officers office and then to my first day of work... i finished it all before arriving, colors became brighter and i started feeling really happy on the ride there. got into the office and the floor started moving with patterns, walls breathing, and i started giggling... then this girl came in, her mom was in like, a hover round type electric wheel chair, and the front wheels got over the bottom door frame, but the back wheels like, got stuck and spun so she would start moving forward and up then jerk backwards, i couldn't help it and started cracking the fuck up, waited for her and her mom to get in, and ran outside and started screaming with laughter... after i got myself undercontrol i went in and my PO was soon ready to see me. i can't imagine how i looked, her office was incredibly tiny, and she was younger and kinda still had acne, so the bumps and scars on her face were moving, her blinds were closed and the only light was this little lamp on the desk. my hands were sweaty, and she asked me if i was okay and i told her i was getting over a cold and nervous for my first day of work... well, i made it out okay, had the urge to go as fast as i could on my bike, went to a friends house and giggled my ass off while they smoked a bowl. i went outside and sat there for awhile, because they had left, and i went in and used their phone, just me, and ended up sitting on their porch waiting for my friends to get off school.. i met up with a friend of mine and ended up never going to work, something i regret to this day, but overall it was an amazing introduction to psychedelics... i had done dxm before, but i don't consider it in the same class at all...

I'll bet this poll's sampling procedure skews the results.. People on an internet mushroom forum are more likely to be tripping alone than the general populace.

i tripped with some close friends that had never tripped themselves. we got them from a friend of theres not mine who made them into choco treats fuckin blew my mind.
i would like to say the real first time i tripped was with one really close friend and his brother. i saw this because this was when i got them myself and took 35 grams fresh......i would say that will forever remain one of the craziest nights of my life.
dont trip alone your first time you might freak yourself out. it also raises blood pressure and i have seen people pass out. not to scare you or anything but everyone reacts different. i later found that person has low blood pressure. right when she smoked some weed and a cig she fell over.

My first time me and some friends went driving around on gravel roads in my friend's vega (driving is not recommended), cutting cookies and sliding around corners. We were whooping and yelling. After one 360 cookie on a dead end road the driver managed to convince the three passengers that we actually rolled the car. We got so convinced that he ended up believing we really had rolled his car. We had to stop to inspect the damage and were amazed to find the car unscratched. More craziness ensued.

First time was LSD with college friends in SF CA. Good Times! In recent years, I tend to go more solo with things like (Fungi, Salvia, HBR).
Yet, I recently found a tree in my area which has a high DMT content. After reading and study, I am planning my first ayahuasca experience and debating over having a trip sitter because I am a little intimidated by the intensity and duration. I most likely will go with a trip sitter.

My first time tripping was incredibly bad. I was young, and with a new friend. We took what i thought was acid. but it was bitter, so it was clearly not LSD. After two hours we barely felt anything... so we re-dosed. Big mistake. At the time I had done lots of research on LSD, but not on LSD mimicks. There were many other uncomfortable things that went on that night, but a big issue was that I was around a large amount of people I have never met before, and only one person I knew, and not very well. Every other time I've taken psychedelics I've had multiple close friends around, with the exception of a few times smoking DMT. So I suppose neither of the options fit very well. The first time I was around a bunch of strangers, so alone in some kind of sense. But not in solitude.

First time I ever tripped was off a hoffman tab and I went it alone. This is largely due to the fact that I was anticipating a meditative journey. Timothy Leary's "The Psychedelic Experience" really helped form my first trip into a positive one. It was fantastic and I'd do it all over again if I had the chance.

my first trip was by myself, I ate about 3g of Cubes in my room at night, melted into my bed, saw cool shapes and meditated for 4 hours. Amazing first trip!

Friends because it gives you some support, someone comforting and its more fun. Perhaps less 'deep', but you've got plenty of time to go deep later when you've gained more experience imo

Probably been said 50 times previous, but I think it's smarter to it with friends or a family member for your first time, someone you trust who has done it before and will keep you in a good mood. They can talk you through the experience if you get freaked out or take too much. I think either option is fun as fuck anyway, friends or alone, never had a bad trip.

I prefer tripping alone, if i feel overwhelmed i text someone with experience dealing with bad trips and listen to teremce mckenna lectures about bad trips.

When I was growing my own mushrooms, I often ate them while everyone in my apartment was sleeping(many house parties). But there were even more times where I was handing out mushroom after mushroom to everyone who came in the door. Tis were great times..
I'd like to try acid alone for sure, as I've only done it with close friends. But every acid experience I've ever had was absolutely amazing..wouldn't change those experiences for the world.

One thing i will say is that I do wish i could share my amazing thoughts and realizations with someone but they probably wouldnt understand anyway, all my friends who trip do it for fun so i just spend time with my kitty and usually dont bother trying to explain my experience after.

Depends on your experience with psychoactives really but my first time was in this friends grandmas basement, Hendrix on Vinyl and shagpile carpet everywhere... In 1999 haha! Pleasant acid that was warm and cosy with a lightly showered bright spring morning in the garden enjoying the afterglow a few hours later. Really sore eyes though.

I usually try everything by myself. I don't like to be surrounded by people in potentially embarrassing situations. I like to be in the comfort and safety of my own room and test things out calmly by myself. I feel much more comfortable knowing that I don't run the risk of someone calling 911 if I start to act strange. I'd rather deal with shit all by myself. I only trip with others once I am 100% comfortable with any given psychoactive.

Your first experience will be very eye opening and typically something you want to share with another human. Besides it's easier that way.

I enjoyed my first times together with really close friends, who were also experiencing this for the first time. Tripping alone has some advantages too, less distractions, but when everybody is kinda in his own space and minding their own business, you'll get the same pretty much.
When you're feeling okay doing them alone you can give it a try, but doing them alone the first time, wouldn't be something for me. Doing it alone the first time may be overwhelming, and being alone isn't maybe not the most pleasant or the most safe option for people that trip for the first time. Also, tripping with others together is a great experience as well.
Tripping with people around who aren't tripping, especially when they don't know how to trip sit is a big no-no for me.

The first time I tripped I was alone, in fact in the beginning of my psychedelics escapades I would trip alone, I felt like this really allowed me to understand myself, and the nature of the substance I was consuming so much of at a young age, which was LSD.

I haven't tripped alone very much. Only a handful of times, and usually really light doses at that. I've tripped quite a lot in my lifetime though, but it always seems to be with other people. Even when I get a large amount of shrooms or acid, my intuition isn't to try it out alone. I always invite others to trip with me.
Me and a friend of mine were talking about this a week ago, and he told me that I should do a few solo trips sometime. It was an odd conversation, because trying to recall all the trips I had, I couldn't come up with any memorable solo trips at all. I think I want to get a bunch of 4-ACO-DMT and do a few solo trips in the complete dark.

Probably because you took "light doses"

Yeah, when I've been alone I tend to have taken lighter doses just as a tester when I get something. Haven't really gone too deep on my own though for one reason or another.

11 plus grams my first time alone. I think it depends on who you are ,who you're with and what you're doing.

Well my first attempt was by myself. But Syd was super weak or non existent. A couple months later I was with friends when I had a square cut from Jerry's (Garcia, of course lol) hand. I traveled through time and space landing in another dimension that I don't think I've fully come back from. That was 18 years ago.

With friends! Like every new drug that you try. You dont really know what to expect or how its going to effect your behaviors. Best to have someone to keep you in check for the first time. To me personally It is safer.

It depends on who you are and who you may be tripping with. For the first time it is best to have a sitter in case you need help so waiting until you can do it with trusted friends would be preferable. Then again I tripped alone my first time and it was spectacular but it may have been way better if I had a friend to vibe with.

I agree with VaNdLe, as it applies to plant (or fungus) based: LSD,mushies, and tryptamine extractions. My first trip was with "friends", though I was young, looking for a high/escape, and did not take anything from it
