Pros: - You can direct your trip towards your goal, without having to consider others' opinions. - You can listen to whichever music you like while doing so. - You can credit anything that happens to yourself - 100% certainty that no one besides yourself fucks with your noodle. Cons: - Not for pshychedelic newbies. - No safety net when things are taking a wrong turn. - You're the only one responsible for stupid things you might do.

Here is the answer so far.
Should I trip alone?
Sure you can trip alone. Just make sure you know what you are doing. Check the EssentialLinks. Take a small dose unless you know what you are doing.
Pros: - You can direct your trip towards your goal, without having to consider others' opinions. - You can listen to whichever music you like while doing so. - You can credit anything that happens to yourself - 100% certainty that no one besides yourself fucks with your noodle.
Cons: - Not for pshychedelic newbies. - No safety net when things are taking a wrong turn. - You're the only one responsible for stupid things you might do.
Some like tripping alone, others don't. Single trips are often more spiritual in nature. But if the trip goes bad, there is nobody but yourself to help.
Terrance McKenna Talks a lot about solitary trips.
He suggests taking 5g of dried cubensis with the lights out and no sound.
Others like music.
Trip smart. Trip safe.
Your results may vary. This is an objective subect. Some prefer tripping alone, others prefer groups. _________________________________________

Yes to what Alan Stone said, and:
Pros: - You do not need to spend your time and energy helping someone relax on a hard come up or calm down during bad trip - You can just be quiet and learn with no talking or other messing around by others
Cons: - There's no one with whom to relate your experience if you feel like you want to talk about it
Also? I have never had a trip "go bad" I mean, I know they *can* because I have had friends who became nervous or anxious or otherwise upset and I had to retain control over myself and deal with helping them. While I don't mind it because they are my *friends* (I would not shroom with someone I would not pee in front of), it is distressing when you cannot really help them aside from talking when that's the LAST thing you want to do when tripping hard.
So, I think that tripping alone is better in a way, because when one is not doing it just to be silly and get "high" (as I am usually not), it is nicer to be able to just be alone and think.

if you can find a person you COMPLETELY trust, tripping with other people can be amazing. In any other case, tripping alone is fine as long as you're experienced and have a good grip on your mental processes and are a down to earth person who knows themselves pretty well.

It depends in what you are trying to achieve. If you wan't to do some instropection it's better to do it alone unless you don't feel comfortable or want someone with you thru the experience.

I wanted to have my first trip in solitude, but I thought that if I have the GF with me it would ensure some safety, and it was great. a lot of love sprouted from many places that night...
