If you're asking whether or not you're ready to trip, you're not. 1

God damnit with these threads. Cut the shit. Whether you think you can or you can't you're right and all that jazz.
But seriously, when you're ready that question should seem stupid. It is.

I agree, just don't alarm yourself. If you're asking yourself if you're ready, you're having doubts. And doubts will plummet you into a bad trip. For realzies.

I disagree. This might be a good philosophy for you but for some people its just their nature to feel cautious about tripping. I do agree you should feel confident about your decision but questioning can be a good thing for some people.

Earlier this year I bought a load of avatar sheets. I was soooo tempted to drop as soon as I got it, especially as I hadn't touched her for over 16 years. But something didn't quite feel right. So she's biding her time, close at hand, waiting until I *know* it's the time.
So yeah, I agree with your sentiments.

Exactly dude. When you're ready for it, THEY'LL come to YOU, man, I can promise you that.

simple. people who ask if they should are the indecisive influential types that are simply looking for the people who say yes.. I just ignore them unless theres something novel about their question.

No that's silly. Nobody knows if they're ready until they dive in. Plenty of people think they are and aren't. But the issue still remains that no one can answer that question

How the fuck should we know if they're ready? It's not a science (yet).
You either do it or you pussy out. Posting a thread asking peoples opinion - AKA looking for validation - is so lame.

I tend to think that if you're asking, you most likely ARE ready to trip. It shows you're taking it seriously, and with that respect comes a great experience

Different strokes for different folks. I don't think I'v ever gone into a trip without at least questioning a little bit whether it's the right day, even if I've been planning for awhile.

Same here, I actually went into my first trip somewhat unsure. I had a history of anxiety/depression my whole life, and I always heard about psychedelics not reacting too well with that. Needless to say, I was shocked at the total opposite. Tripping was the high I've been searching for my whole life, I loved it from the very first trip. So, while I agree with the idea of the statement, I disagree with it overall.

i think it's only when you get experienced that being unsure is iffier since you know just how bad it can get, or when you start tripping too frequently.
my first time i also went in with hesitation, a lot actually, but it was impossible for it to go bad as soon as that magic kicked in

My pet peeve is the people who go all crazy and do purification rituals and ask the LSD if they can take it and crazy semi religious shit. Corny ass shit like this doesn't cause society at large to have more respect for us. It makes us look crazy. I put as much thought and preparation into my trips as I do to getting drunk, which is none. If you overthink the "am I ready" or "is this a good time" shit you probably will have a bad a trip. Of course you are ready. You have time off and drugs then it its a good time to do it. You don't need anything else. You really don't need the internet to tell you that you are ready. I take these drugs for fun, not soul searching, or spiritual reasons or self refection.

This is true. I obviously questioned it my first time, but I never thought of asking anyone if I was ready to trip, especially someone off the internet.

Doesn't sounds like you go deep very often, If your talking to chairs around you and experiencing blending of senses and the environment I don't think going into the experience like you would with alcohol would be safe or fun.

I agree in a basic way. Are you ready? . . . . Do you want to do it? If yes then buy, or better yet grow, your ticket and take the ride. I have always thought people will be more worried about taking shrooms or acid than they will a random colored pill full of amphetamines and who knows what at a club.

Chances are they have other questions too. And if your questioning if you should trip or not you should trip to find out. What's the worst that will happen? You have a bad trip and try again later.

Being cautious and having doubts about the trip are two separate things.

Dude, some people like to go on the internet and ask if they're ready to trip. You going on the internet and talking about how you don't like when they do that isn't gonna help stop it at all. 
Besides, many of those threads help them get better prepared and *gasp* more confident. As stan said they will have other questions too.

I didn't ask anyone first time I tripped, I KNEW I was ready. And that still goes down as one of the best trips I've had, compacted with the most memories any trip can ever hold for me.
