doing shrooms for the first time - alone

Hi, my only drug experience is Cannabis, but I'm thinking of trying shrooms as well. I would hope for a very introspective experience, which I imagine would be most easily achieved alone. However, is it safe to take shrooms without a sitter, even at a low dose? Mainly, what I'm worried is about is that I have heard of some people who have stopped breathing after taking mushrooms. Is this a risk that can be avoided? Can low doses as well as high doses cause this to happen? Furthermore, is it just Muscaria mushrooms that can cause one to stop breathing, or can psilocybe mushrooms do this as well? If the risks are too high, I will take the drug with company for the first time just to see how it affects me and determine whether it would be comfortable for me to take this by myself. Nevertheless, if anyone has any input on this, it would be appreciated. thank you.

you worry way too much. take a gram or two and you'll see, a sitter is unecessary unless you plan on taking a hefty dose. muscaria mushrooms can be real toxic unless prepared correctly. maybe that's why you've heard muscarias affecting breathing. psilocybin mushrooms are a totally different species - not related to muscarias.
relaxe. eat the shrooms. have a smile and giggle at your previous worries.

You are going to have a bad trip if you think too much. No one has ever died from eating Psilocybe mushrooms. You will be ok. Just mellow out and take a walk if the madness creeps in.

Orange juice can take a harsh trip down a level, and for a first timer, it is good to keep reminding yourself that the effects WILL go away eventually. For your first trip I would say try 2 grams, keep a clear mind, and have fun!

"Orange juice can take a harsh trip down a level"
Any references for that? Any proposed method of action?

my first trip was alone on 1.7 grams, and i had a very introspective experience. in fact, i find myself unable to have enlightening trips around other people. except maybe a few other people who understand why i want to trip.
i definitely suggest eating them alone in a room with music, paper, pen, and maybe even a pet

dont do a large amount in the first try, and I also recommend that someone be with you. even though its not really necessary, he/she(preferably someone who has tried muhsi's before) could be a guide and help you in all sorts of ways. relax and enjoy.
