Need help/ first timer.

Hey, been reading up here for awhile, hoping for some advice.
Do you guys think it would be safe to low-dose alone? Around 1 g?
I am a pretty anxious person, marijuana has been known to make me freak out every now and again, but it hasn't happened in years. And plus I am kind of in a dark spot in my life, which is why I really want to do it, to see if I can gain some perspective or insight to myself and the world.
I was thinking of going to the park with my girl, but part of me really wants to do this alone, in a very meditative manner. I want to understand my soul, and have a few goals I've set for understanding.
I'm a loner, and being around people doesn't bring me any positive energy. I'm not scared of the shrooms, in fact the more I've read here, the better I feel about it. I just want to be safe. But I definitely want to be alone.
Bad idea?

Are you pretty introspective? Are you comfortable in your own head?

I'm very introspective, the second part I'm not so sure of.
I don't know what one would define as comfortable in their own head. I have a history of depression/suicide in my family,and I have those same tendencies. Hence my initial apprehensive about going it alone.
But that is also the main reasoning behind my desire. I am extremely meditative/thoughtful and hoping that I can achieve some sort of spiritual catharis or enlightenment of sorts.

As someone who prefers to trip alone, I can vouch that more meaningful trips happen without other humans to interact with. Being that it is your first time, there is an argument for microdosing and one for heavy-dosing. Microdosing allows you to ease yourself in, which is probably best for you if marijuana can have such negative effects on you, but a strong trip removes your ability to control it and shape it in a way you like, which could be more teaching than a small dose will. You are forced to let go and learn what the trip is trying to show you rather than just snap out of a difficult situation. It might not be a trip with all pretty roses, but a lesson can definitely be learned.

I'd recommend 1.5. That's what I did my first time. I don't think you should go into it with expectations however. A trip can do something good for you or it can be meaningless. You should go into it with the mindset of whatever happens, happens.

If you're introspective sober you're gonna love shrooms, trust me. Don't do 1g that's a waste you don;'t want to be stuck in that weird half-trip. I'd say 2grams alone would be good

yea I agree with tahp, you don't want to be in the headspace without any visuals, and have to wait a week to try again for fuller effect. At least a half 8 or 2g's IMO.

Alone though?
I'm thinking of 1.5 on Sat, I'll have about 7+ hours till I have to do stuff that evening.
Do you think that would be good?

Should be fine but I wouldn't do it if you've got something really important that evening.

I just did .7 and it wasn't much of an experience, I would recommend somewhere between 1.5-2 depending on species.

It's more fun to start small and build your way up in my opinion. Sure the effects can be mild but they are pretty crazy if you've never tripped before.

I agree with this, but not for the same reasons. Tripping can be overwhelming and scary the first time causing a poor experience, especially without a good sitter. I suggest low and work up to familiarize yourself with the "comeup" and the "head space". The more knowledgeable you are about what you are doing going in, the more educational/fun the experience will be.

I wish I had done more my first time. First time was one hit of weak LSD. I wish I had taken three which probably would have equalled one strong dose.

We all say that once we are comfortable with the unfamiliar. Nothing is more disappointing to an experienced psychonaut than missing the correct dose, BUT, not very many things are scarier than ego-death your first time out with no point of reference.
