I think a lot of people don't wait for the right time to trip. Try doing it with a number of people, maybe even a couple that you don't know as well, this is sometimes fun because it is kind of a suprise.
I have found my best trips come when I have eight or nine of my friends tripping with me, and two or three sober friends (we are on a ranch with three houses on it). Don't do it unless you have lots of room to spread out, a ranch is ideal. With eight or nine people you get a great mix because you can split off into groups of two or three, while still being able to get together for a drum circle or something!

Terence McKenna said it best...
the psychedelic experience feeds off intelligence. if you don't have any, then the whole trip is just a bunch of silly hallucinations and nothing more.
why do you think the 'psychedelic crowd' seems to have more intellectuals than any other drug scene? using a tool to peak inside your mind and see past the regular restraints of reality ...the more intelligent you are, the better suited you might be to pose deep and meaningful questions about the experience.
I had a few friends who liked to trip in college but not that often, and eventually had a tripping partner in college, but he was an alcoholic and sort of depressed all the time. While tripping with him was always fun, he never had that afterglow that I got. I know he appreciated the experience, but I think the comedowns fucked with his head.

This thread makes me sad. I just lost one of my best tripping buddies ever. Reminds me of the story with wiccan_seeker and his buddy. This guy just totally flaked out and wont even speak to me anymore. Its tough to find a good tripping partner, but when you do make sure you got plenty of mush on hand to take full advantage.

I prefer to trip alone. But I also get agitated when people are fucking up the ora of the trip. I don't like to be disturbed, that could just be me though. It would be nice to just have someone to sit with though that sees the trip as spiritual experience and not just a drug.

I've never had a decent tripping buddy. I mean I have but I haven't had them trip with me for very long for different reasons. I've never had a decent reliable tripping buddy.
Sure would love to have a small circle of enlightened spiritual trippers though.

i have the GREATEST tripping buddy. he's been my best friend for about...8 years, now? if i solo trip, i will generally spend several hours on the phone with him while doing so. if ever i were to call someone my "heterolifemate" (lol), it would be this guy.
since tripping with him, we have really become more like brothers. we are better friends in general. we trip every weekend but through the week, we hang out almost every day like a couple of teenagers, smoke buds, watch funny movies, and eat good food. best friends are hard to come by and i feel very blessed to have such an awesome one. i need to get that guy to register on these forums.

I feel the same way OP. Sometimes when I'm with people I feel as though I am expected to act and feel a certain way, which is just so much worse while tripping. I have one particular friend who always seems to get too high, so nearly every time we trip together I end up having to baby him. Needless to say, I don't trip with him anymore.
I tend to find tripping alone lets me think deeper and lets the trip flow more smoothly. But I think it really just depends on what kind of person you are. Sometimes its nice to have someone to talk to.
