50gr wet, relatively fresh - trip report 1

Hello! How is everybody doing this fine evening. Happy good Friday and Passover if you're into that religious stuff. It's a very windy and sunny day here in southern Ontario -- a bit nippy still, and up here this is a funny season because we want to be planting all of our stuff in the ground, but there's a chance that we might hit zero degrees C again so we're all holding off doing all of that ground growing stuff.
I took about 50 grams of fresh PES Hawaiian today, and it was a good trip. All my trips are good trips. This one was awesome though, and it's about to get awesome-er because I'm going to take 5gr dried this time and see what happens.
I don't have a trip sitter -- I'm used to being my own trip sitter -- but I've asked the woman who lives across the hall from me to listen out, and if I leave my apartment she has instructions to get me back inside so that I can keep all my weirdness to myself. Better that way!
The most important thing these mushies are telling me is to listen to myself and trust myself more. Lots of other messages, but this is the main one.
ttyl I have pasta cooking. Oh yeah I just cook the mushrooms on very very low heat in melted butter for about ten mins, then I add the butter/shrooms sauce to some pasta noodles.

glad your trip went well!! enjoy the 5g dry, i’m sure that’ll be kick ass
idk that i could do that much without a trip sitter!! sounds intense. cool arrangement to have w a neighbor as a potential trip sitter though. it’s gotta be introspective as fuck to trip that hard alone. taking those lessons & realizations are def the most important part of it all!!
also the pasta idea sounds great, might have to try that sometime.. with salt & pepper it could be pretty good

Tripping alone is definitely introspective. I find I can go much deeper into a trip when I am alone. But the most bizarre thing I found out, get this, is that I find it easier to deal with the anxiety when I’m tripping alone.

The first time I tripped alone, my wife and daughter were on a “sleepover” at my mother in law’s house, so it was literally me and the dogs. It was about 6 months ago.
I took my favoured dose just under 4g dry cubensis; strong enough to get to a decent mushroom headspace, but not too intense.
Well when the come up started proper,,and the intense waves started rolling in, my first thoughts were that I’d made a mistake!! So what did I do? What could I do? I didn’t panic, turned inwards, and faced what the mushrooms were bringing, doing, making me feel......Accepting I was on my own, nd to just go with the flow, was a revelation: the trip after that moment was sublime; I transcended space and time, felt that feeling of eternity and connectedness, and felt such euphoria I had to sit down and cry, it was too much. And I was so grateful at this stage to be on my own.
Since that experience, I have had a mixture of trips, alone,,and with my wife present in the house somewhere. I vastly prefer the trips when I am alone; when there is somebody close, it sort of interrupts the trip, nd I find I cannot let go and go as far into the headspace.
Hope that makes sense? Take care DJ Ed

very well put ed. i love your posts & how active you are on here. you always speak so kindly & thoroughly, & have definitely put a lot of good thoughts & advice out on this board!!
i could totally see how accepting you’re alone & just letting the trip happen could be more freeing. it’s nice to be able to take space & time for yourself when you’re in the throes of such a strange experience. i think just knowing someone is in the house while tripping could be a little discomforting- i’d probably feel bad i was being annoying or something
do you prefer tripping alone over tripping with someone else who is also tripping?

Yea, DJ Ed is one of a kind 
OP, sounds great, glad you had a good time!
And to chime in on your question, hazyhorse (awesome pikachu avatar btw)
Do you prefer tripping alone over tripping with someone else who is also tripping?
I prefer tripping alone, and I know many here echo that sentiment. Tripping is, ultimately, so personal and introspective that it can feel wasted with other people around (now I'm talking about a group or a few friends. Tripping with a significant other can be an incredible experience in its own right). Ultimately when I trip with people, the experience almost seems muted, as if my ego is given permission to hold on so it can function in the presence of others. Alone, I can dive as deep as possible. And it is hard enough looking after myself, when I have other people around I tend to want to be sure that they are ok and, again, that gives my ego an excuse to hang on and fulfill that duty.

i definitely know what you mean. whenever i've done mushrooms or acid socially or in a large group i tend to not trip as hard as i would if i were alone. that's not to say i didn't enjoy the social experience while tripping, but it definitely isn't a deep introspective type of trip
personally, i love tripping with close friends. a few tabs & one or two of my best friends is always a fantastic trip (they are very solid trip partners). but larger groups get a little hectic. i know what you mean about feeling like a trip sitter when with other people. i recently did acid w 6 people at my place. we all did 2 gel tabs. we all start coming up super hard, enjoying the visuals when a buddy of mine sat up out of nowhere & puked straight onto my floor. i felt pretty sober cleaning vomit out of my carpet lol

I don't think I could comfortably take more than 2-3g unless I was alone. I did 5.6g of some potent cubes a few weeks ago and alone was better, hence my signature.
It doesn't sound like fun to be tasked with answering questions like "are you alright?" when the boundaries of existence are dissolving.

haven’t taken more than 3.5g, but i’ve also found that manageable around others. typically they had been tripping on a similar dose so we were all on the same page. i’m sure the higher doses go to much stranger places
i think that’s where the quality of the trip sitter comes in to play. ive trip sat for some of my close friends & vice versa & it’s always been great. someone to talk to/do things with if you want but if they know how to handle people on psychedelics well they’ll leave you alone when you need to be left alone. the incessant questions/worry from a trip sitter would be awful, though

You’ll find that Socrateshroom is one of a kind too. Thanks for the love, guys, appreciate it.
Now tripping alone or tripping with somebody else tripping......
Great question, and one I cannot answer fully because; I am still waiting for my best friend to come round to my house for a mushroom ceremony. It had been planned for February this year, but unfortunately it didn’t happen due to both our circumstances. He is now working in Germany for 3 years, and I’m on the south coast of the UK.
We’ve had various discussions on here about your psychedlic safe place, and this stirred up a bit of debate about; wouldn’t it be better laying on your bed in the dark and silence? Yes, but on those occasions you want to keep your eyes open, like when a friend is with you.
When it does happen, I fully expect to sacrifice my trip, to ensure my bestie has a great re-introduction to psychedelics (much fear involved.....). And tht I think applies to me: if there is someone around, I feel “responsible”. On emotion that often gets me is thinking my wife has sacrificed her weekend so that I can trip. All sorts of emotions rise up, but that’s a common one. Another is the feeling of looking stupid, while I’m tripping I front of someone sober.
Great question, difficult answer!
When I started trippping over 30 years ago, we were ignorant of set, setting, and dose. So we took many doses of liberty caps, simply too high for newcomers. We always took them in. A group setting, starting indoors but rapidly moving outside,and eventually getting split up. We would reconvene at the end of the night and swap war stories. They’re were always challenging trips.
Mush love DJ Ed

honestly the whole community here is great. i’ve seen a lot of older posts on other websites shit talking the shroomery, but everyone here has been so welcoming & kind. not to mention, people really know their shit when it comes to cultivation here. i love it
as far as tripping with your best friend Ed... you’re probably right about sacrificing the trip a bit. or at least, it’s good to go in expecting to. i know what you mean about feeling responsible, especially when it’s with first timers or people less experienced. i don’t personally think that’s a bad thing though, as i like trip sitting a lot. i think it’s cool to help someone along that experience & so that for me is rewarding & cool to do. but sometimes i do want to just delve inwards, & it’s hard to do that when you’re focusing on helping others out
tripping w my best friend though, neither of us worried about anything. it was beautiful. we’re both fairly experienced so we kinda trip sit ourselves & if we need some alone time we are totally understanding of it
lol eyeballing liberty caps has to be.... interesting lol. i can only imagine how wild those trips must have been!! sounds like some real flower child shit.

What a brilliant quote.
I wholeheartedly agree though. When you're with others there are so many more things to worry about. My friends aren't really that "good" at tripping, they have a hard time to go with the flow. That means that I usually worry about them having a good time and I in turn worry about acting to high

I definitely agree: When I'm with someone else, I might focus on them and pick up on their anxiety, even though I'm usually laughing and giggling too much for that. But when I'm alone, if any anxiety bubbles up I find it easier to quell it alone than around someone else.

Welp, I probably didn't dry my shrooms correctly because the 5 gr dried that I took after the fresh weren't strong at all, but they delayed the come-down for a few hours.
It was a good trip but I didn't quite get to where I wanted to go. I'm just growing some GTs for the first time now and am looking forward to trying those!!
