I've only once tripped on a decent dose "alone" and that was when I was around others.

i dream of the day when i trip solo on a high dose but because i have so many lovely people in my life it never happens as I like to keep my consumption to a "moderate" amount.

I'm very annoyed. I love my own company but teh option of tripping with otehrs which is always there is always too much to resist. I love people. they rock. (well, sometimes anyway)

One day i'll trip alone. And since i've become increasingly obsessed withteh idea I imagine in the next six months or so.

If your friends think you're crazy to trip alone they dont understand psychedelics fully IMO.

Yeah. I've heard a lot of people complain that at one time or another their trip didn't bring the introspective epiphanies they hoped for. I was once very disappointed to have simply tripped and not had a moving experience. But then I ate them again, and there I learned an important thing. The mushrooms (And anything else) offer nothing more than an alkaloid that fits in a neural receptacle. Like a key. Everything else comes from yourself. Its already in your head. Meaning that having a divine introspection on mushrooms is usually just a coincidence of influenced thought. The way to have a meaningful, moving experience EVERY time is to teach yourself how to harness the trip and control it in whatever way you like. This is no easy task at first, but comes with the collective knowledge of whats happening to your head each time you do trip. Just like in my signature, you have to grab that motherfucker by the horns and make it do what YOU want it to do. I've come to feel that arbitrarily letting the mind do as it will under the psilocin influence is a potentially terrifying thing, despite the random genius and euphoria that it may or may not impart on you. Find these things inside your mind on your own, learn how they work within you. Only then can you be guaranteed a wonderful experience every time, because you'll be the decider.

Take this information as you will, it's just what I've discovered and learned of myself. I'm positive theres someone who can use it.

Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space.

I have the most meaningful experiences when I fly solo... It is a great time to share the trip with a good friend but as far as constructive tripping goes, I always find it easier to merge with my sorroundings and really milk the experience when I don't have any distractions!

I sometimes feel I have too much control and am now looking to up my dosage to lose it again. shake up those doors of perception etc.

I've always understood teh trip being what YOUR mind makes it and repeat this so many times. which is why mind set (and setting because of how yoru mind set can be affected by it) are so important in a trip.

I like and agree with what you say regarding trips and introspection. WHich is why I feel peopel can have imspiration or spiritual experiences from ANYTHING. A drug, a painting, a poem, someones words, a truck a piece of rubbish, anything. simply because its within us and not external. although i suppose we are external in a way.

i generally trip alone,

minus the acid binge my tripping is highly introspective and frightening to me.
my first trip 2 years ago was 7 g of cubes in the shower by myself. shortly thereafter i was in the prescense of what i thought to be a manifested facet of a thing we can call God, and wow did it demand fear/love/respect.
tripping for me is about learning or achieving the uninhibbited psyche that humans hold latent.
6 billion people and we are all so alone? so many of us fed up with society, economy, politics, religions, wars, i feel that if everyone tripped alone, wed all be closer together and alot of our ego locked problems would dissapate.

recently ive started to lose my nerve about re entering the psychedelic, maybe its just personal issues that are the cause of this disturbance and maybe it will pass, but right now tripping is... well.. hard, the lessons can be quite forceful.
my last bout with ayahuasca still has me shaken...
though nothing has ever been that beautiful...

Thought it was funny that someone bumped it back in 08', so I did it in 10'.  Though hellflashs' comment struck me as poignant as well, and so I felt it deserved OPs acknowledgment.  Maybe in 2011, he'll see it, laugh, and bump it too. Then in 2012 we'll all die alone.

I tripped a couple of times with other people around. It can be fine if the people around are flexible in where they want to walk to etc.

But I prefer tripping alone now. My last time I tripped alone, and it was great. I wasn't restricted to what other people wanted, but do just what I wanted to do.

Tripping for me isn't a social thing, since I'm too much inside my own head to have a normal conversation.
I've had conversations with other people when on shrooms, but before I knew I got lost in my own train of thoughts again.

Never tripped with someone else who was tripping too though.

I've never tripped before. I am pretty introverted and am hoping to have a introspective trip while I meditate. Most people say don't trip alone, especially if its your first time. What do you guys think? I was going to dose 2.5 for my first trip with a friend who will be sober.

How many of you people enjoy tripping alone?  I was wondering because I absolutely love it.  At moderately high doses too.  Everyone I know says they won't even consider doing it all alone by themselves.  I feel like having other people around distracts me.  When I'm alone I can close my eyes and dance to a silent whim, allow my mind to fully harness my latent subconscious, and feel like a GOD for several hours, all completely uninterrupted and full throttle.  I've been eating cubes about 4-8 times a year since 1997, and have never had a bad trip.  I couldn't conceive of being able to even have one.  (At least not under 8 or 9 grams, everything gets sketchy beyond that, especially in public.)

I'm a loner at heart, and I think that has a lot to do with it.  I love being left to my own devices and thoughts in any situation.  Is there anyone else out there like me?  Anyone who refuses to use the sacrament as a social activity, but rather as a lone journey into ones self?




Man I know just what you mean, I barely ever even trip with friends.

We all trip alone. Some just like to do it with company.

I prefer solo tripping I've tripped with people on 3 or 4 different occasions but I feel like I never know how to "act" when I'm around people....I've always been a person thats concerned with how everyone else is feeling and when I'm tripping its just too much to be worried about. And I've noticed I can go deeper when I'm alone. I've tripped of one hit and tripped "harder" than I did on two hits of the same stuff simply because I was able to let go on the one hit instead of being concerned with conversation and keeping up with a social situation.

It's sort of like marijuana for me. Although I can still be social while smoking with others, I find equal if not more value to smoking alone. When you're left alone, it's easier for you to "listen" to yourself, as well as your surroundings. This makes the experience so much more comprehensive. Also I'm able to smoke less but still get very high.

With shrooms, if I plan on tripping with someone I definitely have to be picky with who I chose. My last experience tripping with people was more often annoying than enjoyable...it was also their first time on shrooms, which was fun, but they were wayyy to loud for me. And distracting. Ugh.

I honestly plan on tripping alone soon on HBWR. Bad trip or not, I'm glad I can take full advantage of the introspectiveness of it.

edit: Lol. Kinda funny how we all jumped on this year old thread not realizing someone bumped it.

I've only ever tripped alone (unless surrounded by strangers at a festival or whatever).  But I also tend to take lower doses.  I think I'd want to have someone around if I was going for an ego-crushing dose, just to keep an eye on me (maybe same house but not same room).  But I also use my trips as therapy.

In fact, I'm going to take my very first trip with a friend (and this is after 75+ trips solo) on Monday.  I'm looking forward to the different experience.

Odd how the old thread was brought up at just this time.  Not like the world revolves around me or anything.

Liked your tips for a good trip link! Wish I read it for my first time shrooming...woke out of my trip after the last 4 hours in different clothes.
