Lack of a true tripping partner

Is it just me or does anyone else ever wish they could find a better tripping partner? I find that my friends simply don't see mushrooms or psychedelics in general in the same way I do and it makes it hard for me to want to trip with any of them. Does anyone else prefer to trip alone?

Hmm.. I'd want to have a friend close by, maybe a non-tripper just to make sure I dont go off the edge... oh well, we'll see.

the friend that I usually trip with does not see psychedelics hardly at all the way I do. We discuss not argue (if your reading this) about the differences we perceive them. Sometimes it's nice to have someone who agrees with you about them, but I enjoy the challenge he presents.

You have a very good point. In regards to discussing and arguing, I find a lot of my friends always want to argue with me when I simply want to discuss points.
Maybe what I really need is someone to trip with that better understands me and my personality. Often times I get agitated with people misunderstand me and react according to that perception.

My best friend and tripping partner just turned into a total narc. As of friday he won't trip with me because I was "aggressive" when we smoked weed the last time together. So I have to find a new tripping partner.

I used to trip with 2 other fellows constantly for a signifigant period of time. Most insightful, meaningful times of my life. I wish you luck in your search for your rider and hopefully I can find a new 'soulmate' too.

Trippin partners can very IMO, different friends will have different trips,
There can be funny ass trip, that everything cracks you up and those who crack u up
Then there are some not as funny trips, with those who want to get deep with the shroom, or adventurous
Then their those who want to push the limits and get all dramafied on it, which sucks when ur not equiped to handle the trip fully, but when its all said a done, ur like dam dog, that was some crazy shit,

capliberty you have some good points there. Perhaps I just need to be more open-minded about the whole thing and just be more careful with the people I choose to trip with.

i used to trip with friends all the time in my younger years..now i'd be very cautious and selective about who to trip with. i'd rather trip alone until i find someone i'm comfortable being around while under the influence. i take my trips much more 'seriously' now than i did almost a decade ago. i too am still trying to find a cool partner to chill with who can handle their psychedelics in a way i'd be comfortable being around.

for sure,.......... expectations can cause conflicts within your trip, just flow with it for what its worth, and I doubt you'll have any problems when with your CO trippers, I think the main thing is to realize everyones got their own version of whats going on, shrooms can be alittle intense at times so its hard to maintain composer, and if u do too many, its drama, no way around it, which makes that ur issue not anyone elses

SETTING IS EVERYTHING. i have eaten mushrooms in every possible scenario. i find i dont trip very hard when im doing it with people that arent tripping (just me)... its like a collective effort of energies. if they cant put their momentum behind the trip as well, it wont go nearly as far as if they were to join me.
i DO NOT eat mushrooms with certain people. this is just by prefernece, i always try to prepare my setting before i get going. A LOT of people suck at tripping, mainly because it reflects the Bullshit inside their head. They get caught in loops too easily and constanly sweat time, what to do next, and if theyre "feeling it yet/still". there is no reason to subject yourself in such a sensitve state to something so fucking madening, YOU IMPRINT EVERY TRIP IN YOUR MIND, what happens in some trips will stay with you forever. FOR ME, THIS IS A FORCE I WOULD RATHER NOT TAKE LIGHTLY.
but ive had a fucking blast everytime regardless.... by choice.

I need a tripping partners that doesn't act like a five year old and want to play with glow sticks all night. I also would like a trip sitter, because ever since my bad trip I have been afraid to let go. I liked the thumbprint thread,being in the hands of loving experienced companions would be great.

I love having a tripping partner as much as i love tripping alone. Really, i have always loved (and was lucky enough to enjoy) both of them scenarios in this life.

I'd love to find someone to trip with. I mean I've tripped with friends before but I've never tripped with anyone I'd ever have a specific desire to trip with. Everyone seems to be either too caught up with trying to process and understand the perception change that they forget to experience it (always going on about how things look like other things, talking about how much/little they're tripping, you know what I'm talking about when people just seem to be so caught up with the most obvious/pointless things and they just never seem to get past them).
I dunno, it just seems that everyone's more interested in the tree that looks like a squirrel than the constant synchronized flowing motion of the world around them as their sense of reality is weaved in with their thoughts to make a huge blanket that just wraps around their brain. I dunno, I'd like to find someone who has as much respect and appreciation for shrooms as I do, someone with an understanding of science (so after struggling to put my thoughts into words I don't have to explain them), and someone who doesn't just trip in nature because it gives them stuff to look at but also because of that special respect, connection, and sheer fascination it seems to inspire. Seems that what I'm stuck with is people who's rather "Drop a few grams, smoke a few blunts and just get FUCKED!". Generally this means I usually just trip alone, and not exactly feeling comfortable walking around in a big city on shrooms alone I'm usually stuck doing them at home (much as I like being in nature I have lots of animals/plants around me at home and the access to paint, instruments, etc seems to make up for it for the most part...

watching the dreaming sheep running on auto pilot while sitting on the fence with someone else can be a riot.
then again. it has to be the world.
I mean the trip partner really is the whole world you cantrip into the world that is
making mini groupettes or mutual admiration societies on the side, even just of 2 people, makes you miss so much of the underlying fun that is integral - except for the watching of the sheep part...

for a long time now it doesn't seem to make much differnce who i'm around while tripping. other poeple do not effect my trips unless they're buggin out and i'm in a confined space (which i wouldn't do).
i tend to wander around alone alot on my trips.

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.
