Tripping alone for the first time - my situation
    #21847795 - 06/23/15 09:04 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hey everyone,

I am just looking for some advice/input about my situation from someone with some experience. I have been wanting to experience mushrooms for a long time, I have done TONS or research on shrooms and on psychedelics in general, and I believe I am ready. The problem is I do not have anyone to sit for my trip. My friends are not into the spiritual side of drugs, and I do not know anyone who would sit for me. I would be doing ~2-3g alone in my bedroom, possibly with one person in the house sleeping. I feel like I would be able to handle tough situations in the trip, as I have good control over my emotions and do not freak out easily. I have also spent countless hours listening to terence mckenna, joe rogan, etc., watching documentaries, reading and watching trip reports, so I am very educated, probably more educated than some who have tripped. I am using them only for a self finding experience, and I am not into getting "fucked up". I plan on doing it in silent darkness, possibly with some music in certain parts, and just laying there and reflecting on myself. I will survive if I experience some crazy or scary moments, but my question is, without a trip sitter is there generally some level of control in really bad parts (Ex: you are having a bad trip but you can still decide to lay in your bed for the duration of the trip) or is there a chance I may wander around the house or do something stupid like call someone? I have heard (Although I am not sure on the validity of these claims) That some people when having a bad trip forget they took shrooms, or the trip is too much and they do something like call someone for help or something like that. I do not think i am the type who would do that, I just want to make sure nothing bad happens in the real world (I understand a bad trip is possible, but if I am having a rough time I will try to learn from it) and if you have any advice or insight for me I would greatly appreciate it.

After doing all that research it should already be apparent how important setting is. Concealing the act from another individual is a bad setting and set due to the stress.

If you must do it there, start low and work up.

IMO dude I like to trip solo, my first trip was solo and I loved every second of it. I only use psychedelics in private now, solo, I use beer and weed for social settings. If you know you can handle it I would suggest going without a sitter, but be ready for some shit. If you must have a sitter I would say one of your close friends but as you said they are not into it amd if that's the case having someone you do to know well their watching you could be uncomfortable and awkward. Shot gets weird really fast, it your first time man and you know what's best for you better than us, look in to your heart what do you think you should do?

I personally do prefer to be alone most of the time in that situation; having said that, being in a situation where you may have to conxeal the fact that you are tripping is almost always a terrible source of anxiety at the least. Wait until a perfect moment arises where there are no concerns and start low. Good vibes.

sounds like u're more than ready honestly

mushrooms arnt as disorienting as u may think, sure ur world may spin on high doses but it;s not like ur gonna grab ur car keys and drive, or do something stupid like that. one should always practice caution tho either way, and it sounds like u're pretty cautious already, and that is very good sign.

imho u should be ok. good vibes man, i hope u have a pleasant experience. :hippie:

quite the opposite for me actually. i;ve concealed my tripping plenty of times and it kind of helps actually. unless it;s a friend who knows about psychedelics and is experienced then it's almost like mandatory that u let them in.

Yea sounds like you're ready man. Light a candle, put on some music and shut the lights off. Be prepared to experience joy, terror, love, and pure ecstasy

well it seems everyone here has given good advice so far. if I may add personally from your background you claim to have in psychedelics I would consider you to be generally able to accept and be responsible for yourself especially if you can listen to more then 10 mins of McKenna talking haha. Your set and setting play the key role and be sure to spend the hours before the trip if not days reflecting on all issues and mental baggage and get it out of the way and just relax and then enter into your journey and you should be just fine but its always a toss of the dice of circumstance so you need to figure out when your ready and when its time.

Your mind is going in the right direction and so is your consciousness, safe travels friend I hope it is everything you are looking for and more because why should it be anything less? mastering emotion and lifting the illusions of our perception are key to working with psychedelics so don't expect anything but be accepting of whatever will be brought to your conscious attention and know that no matter what you think or feel that in 6-8 hours it will all be over above all else *make a note and stick it on the wall to remind you if you need to*...Other then that my friend try to have no worries because there are really none and just be in the moment and you will eventually find what your looking for just as many before you have.

Respect is key.

Don't disrespect me, I wont disrespect you. So tread lightly first impressions can be the most important :smile:

Namaste.
