Has anyone ever tripped out all by there lonesome? I've fried with friends but never on my own.

Any advice? Any experiences?

Have you ever read anything all by your lonesome? I have with friends and always on my own.
People tell me to ALWAYS read - and I see why.
Any advice? Any experiences with reading?

solo trips can be the best trips ever... I mean once you've done alot of shrooms around friends and family the next thing would be to trip alone My best trips are when I go out on my own and find a chill spot on the woods maybe a creek or stream I always pack a small bag of food,trip toys,beer,pot Then I make my way thru the woods enjoying nature at its finest to sit or actually to lay down on the grass beside a small river and smoke a bowl while your coming up can be one of the best things one could do while on mushrooms after spending hours in the woods you can come back to the real world feeling refreshed and in touch with nature as you will respect it alot more Sometimes the woods can be quite loud on a head full of mushrooms you should definitely try your first solo trip but I'd start small 1 or 2 grams and you outta feel more then comfortable

heh, yeah, I'd imagine when alone (I want to try so badly!!) the stakes of the trip would be quite larger since its just you and you can't be disturbed. this experience can go either way, just be ready. I always thought I'd prefer tripping alone.

I've tripped alone 2 out of 3 times and I really enjoy it. Sometimes though, during the comedown, it gets frustrating because I get so introspective and I have no one to tell my thoughts too.

You should trip alone. There are far too many distractions when you are with other people. The mushroom will show you itself in great detail if you are free of distractions.

First time I dropped acid was alone. Actually, -every- time I dropped acid (10+ times I suppose) I was alone. I've tripped with friends before but alone is SO much more liberating. You're free to basically do as you wish, so you spend the duration of the trip naked (though if you go outside you MAY wanna consider a jacket... it gets kinda chilly at night). You'll be fine, no worries, especially if you've tripped before and you _know_ that you can't jump outta the window ;-)

Nevver tripped alone, but highly debating it today. I've got some lovely rainbow tabs calling my name and none of the roommates are home to trip with... I'm all about it. Especially on this lovely sun shiny day LoL

I like to be the only one tripping, but I like to have company when I'm a tripping. But yes, I have tripped before solo, it was quite a experience to say the least.
Give a try sometime, just make sure you don't get too crazy thou in case you get into trouble and there are no sober friends there to help you out.
Enjoy tripping!

Trippin solo is an excellent way to get the most efficiencey out of a low dose. Once the peak sets in, and you're comfortable with the amount of control you have over the trip, you can lay back, get relaxed and focus your thoughts into going deeper into the trip. If things get too far out there, you can bring it back. Solo tripping is best done on manageable doses like these. Especially if you are outside.

I've had plenty of solo mushroom tips and a few solo acid trips. Solo trips can be fun if you can handle your psychedelics.
The best thing about solo trips is you can do whatever you want to do, you don't have to worry about what anyone else wants to do or thinks. For instance, if I'm trippin by myself I can lay on my bed in complete darkness and complete silence for an hour and just trip out if I want to, but that's something I can't do if I'm tripping with a group of friends. If I'm tripping by myself I can take a 30 min hot shower or an hour long bath if I want to, but that's something I wouldn't be able to do tripping with a group of friends.
The only bad thing about solo tripping is you don't have anyone to talk you down or talk some sense into you. If you get caught in a negative thought loop things can go bad real easily.

I like tripping with my Best Friend. In a way I consider it "solo tripping"
With My best Friend and I there is no outsiders. We must go in every direction together, and remain still together. We can either agree or disagree. End of the line, right there. A duality of perspectives, both happening simultaneously, and sincerely. A three person group can have a true outsider.
Also, how ever I want to trip out around him, is fair game. Even if I want to leave. We don't hold anything against each other. He is my first mate Psychonaut for a reason, on my Psychedelic Spaceship with the name Rocketship.

i love tripping by myself, but like most of these guys are saying, the only downside is there is no one to share your thoughts/feelings with on the come-down (i just write down stuff i feel is important to remember, then send certain people i care about emails)

I haven't done it yet personally, but it's on the list for sure. Tripping with a few friends is good, but like other people have said they can be distracting, and often the goals/expectations for what everyone wants to get out of taking a hallucinogen is different. Unfortunately for me, most of my friends just like to get fucked up and play video games.

I miss my trip buddy...other side of the country...but I can't wait to see him again this winter and eat mad amounts of l (probably not 'mad' amounts, but it's nice to think about). but yea, that's how we are; whatever one wants to do, they do it...if the other doesn't want to, it's all good. and then we're there to bounce ideas off each other or share things needed to be shared

Well, you guys got me antsy over it. Thank you much.
I've just heard of people feeling so alone and as if trees and water were growing to murder them and like paranoia about everyone hating them. Just some weird nonsensical shit.
I'm still going to try it, for sure. Oh and that 'writing thoughts down' is a real nice idea to me.
Thanks again, you all, take care.

the people that get feelings of people hating them and nature neglecting them is probably because they feel like that sober. somethign is probably wrong in their normal life, and the mushrooms magnify it.if your alone just go in with a strong mind.

its totally awesome tripping by yourself man. i dont know what your friends are talking about. thats stupid. its fun to trip with ppl. its fun to trip alone. sometimes when im alone i feel like talking and being with other people to share the experience with also but i mean its fine there are so many possibilities and things to do while tripping that it doesnt matter if youre alone or not.

Read this thread on Sunday and decided to go ahead and eat 1 g. C. Cyanescens.
Good and bad. Nice to just explore my own thoughts but it was a lot less of a revelry as it would have been with other people to keep the energy going. Maybe just what I'm used to, I don't know.
One thing, though, I got a shit-ton of writing done!

I've solo-tripped a fair amount. I've never had a bad time. It lets you be more selfish and focus inward without being distracted by others. Really, just solo and group trip when the opportunities present themselves, both are good in their own way.

solo trips can turn in to trainwrecks though.... I usually handle them quite well but one time I had a major freakout where nothing in the world seemed right and I convinced myself that I was insane and that I was gonna be one of those people you read about who took too much acid and never came back....yeah that was fucked up, even though I know that those kind of instances have rarely if not ever happened

I would advise you to keep valium or something of the sorts on you during the trip...just incase you start havin a major freak out that you cant work out.

Yeah, and a lot of psychonauts suggest sensory deprivation anyway, which is like being alone.
I would say overall it was a positive experience and the freak-out-factor was quite low.
Meh, it was a light dose anyway.

The one time I had a solo trip was amazing, 3-4 grams of Liberty Caps, just me, the river, the trees and the wind. Cloudy(not raining, but overcast) are my favourite days for a good daytrip, though I've always wanted to wander the trails with the sun peering in through the branches. The first time it snows this season I'm getting a nice bag of fungus and going a-wanderin' again.

On a note unrelated to this thread, this last summer some friends and I decided to go out and eat some REALLY nice acid. We went to a state park, and apparently had forgotten to check the weather forecast or something. It started thunderstorming. HARD. We were hiking along trails in this big field and we were up to our knees in water by the end of it. Lightning was flashing all through the sky, and I then realized that we were in the middle of a giant fucking lake (the field had totally flooded) with a shit ton of electricity flying all over the place. We went back to the car, and the only way we could see the path was because water was flowing harder where the grass had been mashed down. Pretty intense experience. When we got to the parking lot a park ranger was there waiting by my car, and I was starting to peak at that point. Thankfully convinced him that nothing shady was going on and we were able to leave. I normally love driving on acid, but with heavy rain and thunder...not a good thing. Tripping balls in the pouring rain was awesome, though!
And ya, I haven't solo tripped yet, but its on a "as soon as I can" basis for me right now. I also always end up being the caretaker, and it'd be nice to get some time by myself with the mushies
