Worried about safety on the first trip
    #5355138 - 03/01/06 08:56 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hello, I'm planning on taking 1/8th of mushrooms for my first time and the only thing that concerns me is safety at this point (did I post in the right place? I saw safety so I posted in this sub forum). Going deeper, the only safety aspect that worries me is that I do not have a trip sitter that is free and the ones that are free I really do not trust anymore. I'd really like to do this soon. I have already read the "Should I Trip Alone?" Link that was provided at the shroomery but I'm seeking more answers. It'll just be in a small room with the lights out basically. If it helps, I actually like being alone and isolated because that's what kind of personality I have (although my personality will probably be out the window on the shrooms). It shouldn't worry me but I've heard many of my friends tell me time and time again to not trip alone yet they are busy and they don't want to help. I'm going to do it alone either way so what would be a comfortable setup? Should I break out some movies or drinks..?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, I'm not positive if I posted this in the correct place so if a mod wants to move it to an appropriate place that would be greatly helpful. I hope to enjoy my stay here at the shroomery and will post back in the "Experiences" subforum. Thanks.

Hey, welcome.

The experience forum is probably a better place for this one. This subforum is more geared towards not going to jail *in between* moments of psychedelic intoxication. :smile:

Hope you enjoy your experience.

ohh I see. Safety in the sense of the law, ok thanks. If there's a way to report this thread I'll have it moved. I just though since I haven't yet experienced anything that I wouldn't post there. thanks anyways.

You can click the report post button. I'm not sure if it's intended for such purposes, but there's only one mod in this forum. Not sure how often she (I think, she?) checks it.

Don't worry. We are very forgiving of honest mistakes.

In reply to your original post: How much experience do you have with other mind altering substances? What kind of person do you become when you get drunk? Have you ever taken MDMA, LSD, DMT, salvia, mescaline, etc? If so, how well did you handle them?

I've been smoking weed for about two or three years now, I just become laid back. I don't drink much but when I do I only get tipsy and happy and never incoherent/violent. I have never taken a psychedelic before such as acid, nor have I really taken any stimulants like coke or X. So there you have it, I love grass and that's basically it. I'd like to take it to the next level with shrooms. I'm realizing now of how much a newbie I am and it would be a pretty bad idea to trip alone..

Yes and no. You are obviously mature and responsible, or you wouldn't be asking these questions... I always trip alone, but I have a lot of experience with it, and know what to expect. I won't tell you what to do, that is for you to decide. However, I will tell you what I would consider in your place.

Knowing that set and setting have a huge impact on the enjoyability of the trip, I would not trip with people that I was not 100% comfortable being around. I especially would not trip around people that are going to find amusement at my expense while tripping. If I had a good trip sitter, then I would probably start out with around 2.5g (dry) my first time out taking me to a nice low-level three trip.

However, if I could not find somebody to watch me, then I would trip alone, but with a much lower dosage... probably in the 1.5g (dry) range. This would take me to a nice mid-level two trip (I hope) with minor visuals. It would give me a taste of what a full blown trip is like, but wouldn't blow my mind. I would be sure to have lots of things to play with such as different styles of music, a few different cooking spices to smell, etc.

Again, we are all different. What works for me may not work for you. Educate yourself and make a responsible decision. If you do trip alone, your first time, please do not take a heroic dosage. My very first trip was on 12g fresh (aprox 1.2g dry) and was a very strong level-3 trip. For reference, my body weight would be around 140 lbs.

Thank you. I definitely get what you mean about the trip sitters. I can get someone and his friend to watch me but I really don't trust them anymore and they sorta ripped me off on a weed deal but I won't go into detail, overall I'm trying to distance myself away from them for as long as I can. I weigh slightly above 200 lbs so I was thinking about 1.7 alone which is damn close to half of an eighth alone would give me a nice all around body buzz and maybe some visuals (this is what I'm looking for). The person I'm getting it from is a person I've known for a long time and I can trust him and he said it would be better/easier if I bought 1/8th while buying and that shrooms don't go by grams. If this is the case I don't want to trip alone on the 1/8 so I'd have to half it but I only wanted to trip once. I'll see what happens, I just want to have a fun and safe time without freaking out. I should also mention that I have a few room mates that probably wouldn't hesitate to call the police if they knew I was tripping so I'll be in my room basically.

For a moment I was also worried about taking such a low dosage because I don't want to waste this but after hearing that you were sent on a level 3 trip with 1.2G dry I don't think I'll be having a problem because it's my first time. Thanks for your help, hopefully my guy will have them this weekend or maybe after the weekend.
