Is it ok to do Shrooms alone for the first time?

I really want to try Shrooms but I have no friends that will do it with me. I do have a friend that has volunteered to trip sit me though.
I was just wondering, would it be okay to do 1gram of shrooms by myself with just a sober friend watching me? Or do you think that would make me feel uncomfortable or something...

Oh, the only experience I have with any drugs is that I've smoked weed.

You should be fine. 1 gram will just give you a slight body high, probably no visuals. In my experience I've had my best trips when it was just me, myself, and I 
So ya with one gram don't expect to much to happen maybe try 1.5-2 grams little increase goes a long way! That is the does I give my first timers to give them the feel for the shrooms

With a trip sitter you should be fine to dose by yourself. I'm guessing they're just cubes and if so a g isn't going to be alot but if that's what you feel comfortable with then I say that's what you should do.

Not only is it okay, but I would recommend it. I like tripping alone.
I would also recommend upping the dose a little.

It's a courageous thing to do, but regardless, it should be a good experience if you're generaly comfortable with yourself and have the right objectives.
Having a trip sitter could be good, it just depends how close they are to you and their general character. If they are there just so that they can make a story out of it to their friends and try to mess with you... beware, you will feel anxious and generally paranoid. If this person is laid back, open and understands what you will be going through it should be fine.
I have only a few select friends that I would feel comfortable doing this around, in a safe setting. I've made the mistake in the past of carelessly doing this in a less than optimal setting and i had a terrible time of it.
Have fun chief!

Yeah, I think it would be weird having a sober person around, especially if they're not an experienced tripper themselves.
Just remember set and setting are very important, and that includes the people you'll be around.

yes, agreed. I would go as far as saying I wouldn't trip with any sitter who hasn't tripped before. I'd need them to understand what is going on in my mind for me to not feel like they're projecting destructive counter-acting brainwaves
I think the idea of having a sitter is born from lingering paranoia/propaganda that people will take mushrooms and go crazy and walk into traffic naked
edit: OP, I say you will be fine with 1g. you could afford to up the dose a little bit, but you should still feel it and enjoy it at 1g. it will probably leave you wanting to try more, but you've got your whole life for that. the most important thing is that you feel as comfortable as possible with what you're doing.

What's most important is to have a positive outlook.
To me, it's like it amplifies how ever you're currently feeling.
If you're thinking this is going to be fun, I have these things planned to do while I'm high, go for it.
But if you have any doubts like what if this kills me or what if the cops or my parents find out or I'm sad because I broke up with my girlfriend, don't do it until somebody talks you into being positive and you choose a better location (less likely to get caught).

Trips are best alone, lay down with a blanket and pillow :-) + psytrance/relaxation music/nature (walk in nature) / houseplants/pets etc.
2-2.5g first time in social setting, you can start with 2, then redose .5g max or so (should give a boost), if it still feels good after 1½ hour or so...
if alone I started with 3-4g myself, only good trips when eaten as chocolates
but bad trips can be disaster if you don't have the right frame of mind
you need to let all fear go, accept death , accept anything you see let go of everything
accept the possibility of any trip, don't fear any dosage
5g is where it gets too much for me, 3-4g was always pleasant, except when I got bad trips but those usually only last till the trip ends
just keep asking yourself 'who am I?' :-)
just hide cell phone, lock doors, be away from anything possibly harmful shroom trips are usually pleasant and enjoyable... but if you take 3.5g or above, you must know what you do, or have some experience with your psyche IMO I had tripped LSD many times before when I did 4g first time iirc, so I wasn't afraid but 3.5g has since given me a few bad trips, that seems to be the fear of dying accept death at all times,accept everything :-)
I DONT RECOMMEND 3-4G FIRST TIME, YOU CHOSE YOUR DOSAGE YOURSELF, YOU KNOW YOUR MIND BEST... DO YOU EASILY BECOME AFRAID? THEN SHROOMS MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE NEVER AFRAID BUT CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR MIND, SHROOMS MIGHT BE JUST FOR YOU :-) USE DOSAGE CALCULATOR HERE TO CHOSE YOUR TRIP LEVEL, OR JUST EAT 1-4G FIRST TIME , CHOSE YOURSELF WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE DOING
remember to hide phone+lock doors if you go over 2g IMO, but I always hide + make sure I'm alone with any psychedelic dose
SET,SETTING,DOSE , know what it means, respect it, then only good trips
Shrooms don't agree with me unless I eat them as chocolates.... makes sure I get good trips each time! else I would start lower, because the nausea/gutrot feeling can make you freak out a bit sometimes (no nausea with chocolates, can't even feel I ate anything, so good trip each time)

Depends on the strain of mushrooms I'd say. I dosed 1g of penis envy mushrooms by myself last week, which are known to be quite potent. I have to say, I was tripping pretty damn hard within an hour. Took me be surprise and I was quite uncomfortable at first just because of the intensity of the comeup and peak.
I'd say 1g should be fine to dose by yourself. If you get uncomfortable, just remember you're tripping and try to enjoy it.
Good vibes everyone

Penis envy is up to twice as potent many say
Im sure you wont feel 1g regular shrooms, ,cubensis
You need at least 2g imo as a newbie
But maybe not 3-3.5g first time unless you like exploring deep... the default 1/8th most ppl refer to is a big dose/pretty strong trip Get to know shroomd and your reaction first... some ppl need only 2.5g to trip sone need 5g
You can do 1.7g powder+red wine that is pretty intense Lots of visuals i havent had since not even on 4-5g and no taste almost no nausea Yet still pkeasant most of the time as long as you dont drink much wine
Eat on empty stomach always
Remember to hide phone always or you might regret it, always part of my setting together with making sure noone comes to visit me not even family
peace

My first trip was solo. I took one microdot of Acid (whatever that dose was in the late 70's). I did on a school night, alone in my bedroom. It was the perfect dose to get me into the psychedelic world without blowing my mind. I spent part of the trip writing this LONG-ass letter to my girlfriend. I started in the middle of the page and wrote in tiny letters, spiraling outward until I ran out of page. I got to sleep around 4am, woke up around 6:30am and got ready for school.
I can still see my girlfriend standing in front of her locker turning the paper in circles trying to read it At the time I thought it was the most profound thing ever written... I'd love to read it now just to see what I wrote, I'm sure it was mostly nonsense.

I've only tripped twice, both times alone, and I was fine.
1 gram is too little. There's no point to taking 1 gram. Take 2 grams, I think my first was about 2 grams (no scale), and at no point was I in any danger of losing control or freaking out, it was very pleasurable and beautiful.

Even my friends who don't trip much and prefer light doses would think 1g is much too weak. (talking cubes here)

I have never tripped with a sitter; my first time was about 1g Liberty Caps and that was more than enough for a first time; I believe it takes a while to get used to the mindfuck mushrooms give you before you should jump into visual trip dosage.
edit: then again libs are much more potent than cubes by weight + the libs in my area seem to be more potent than in other areas
