First solo trip

I've been thinking recently that once I get some money together I'd like to trip by myself for the first time. I've been tripping (not continuously, lol) for the last 2-3 years, and I've gotten alot out of it, but I've never spent an entire trip by myself. Lately I've been feeling less like myself, and need to reconnect a little bit.
I'm thinking I want to start out with some mushrooms, and probably a low dose, maybe 1-1.5 grams of some cubes. I plan on closing up the blinds in my room, throwing some fresh sheets on my water bed, and crawling in for the duration, just keep my eyes closed and meditate as best as I can.
Anybody have any thoughts on this or suggestions on how to best spend time tripping by yourself? Comments or suggestions on the substance/dose for a first experience?
Thanks!

For me, solo trips are vital...I get so much out of them. There's a lot to get out of being in a group, too, watching people interact, but when you focus all that wild fractalized attention on yourself you can really learn a lot. I'd definitely recommend mushrooms for your first solo trip. Especially now that it's getting cold, I love to hunker down in my apartment when I have it to myself and take a bunch of mushrooms and have a lot of weed on hand for when I do. Just lay around, listen to music, write, get some thinking done...close your eyes and enjoy the ride.

Ya, by some stroke of (mis?)fortune I'm living by myself this year, which in this case is really nice because I can just lock my doors and turn off my phone and not have to worry about being bothered at all.
Thanks for mentioning the music thing! I'll have to have speakers and cd's set up around the place to have ready

How much do you think you'd be taking? What's your usual dose, when with other people?

when i'm alone even after smoking weed.. i kinda get a little uneasy.
i start thinking a lot about my physical state and worry a little. then after being around people for a bit and my high wears down i'm okay to be alone. (about 30 minutes to an hour).
for me personally, i doubt a solo trip would be a good way to start.
but i can see a solo trip in the future could be extremely enlightening. i think i would need to spend the heaviest trips alone.. and have some one check on me periodically.

My first trip is going to be 30 grams wet alone in my apartment as soon as my mushrooms are done growing in a week, I'm hoping to get some answers to some things that i'm unsure of in my life when i trip. Somebody suggested to get crayons so that might be fun I guess haha.

Solo tripping is where it's at.
I took 4 mild hits of acid alone one night and I went mad. I had a smile on my face like never before the whole night and there was an uncontrolable urge to laugh. I'd reccomend taking it kind of early though that was my only mistake.
Be prepared to experience some new things, but don't be afraid because it is awesome to be part of the not-selfs...

Like I said, I'm thinking between 1-1.5 grams. When in a group I've taken anywhere from 1.2grams to about 4, of differing potency mushrooms.
I could probably be okay taking more, but my last trip (on some very strong acid) was kind of stressful, and I'd prefer things go well. I'm thinking I might just start up a quick little PF grow for this purpose, though I'll have to look into the economics...it might be easier to just buy a half eigth from someone.

Drr I didn't realize you'd written how much you wanted to take in your original dose.
If you're comfortable with it I'd go with 2 grams....trust me.

I don't know about you, but i'm most comfortable when i'm alone, because it is only me, and I've known me for years. I AM me. So don't worry about taking a large dose, because most likely you will be very prepared and it will be a very smoothe trip even if it is intense. |

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Really helps me feel better about this 
I'm fairly comfortable by myself, and tend to be a loner quite often. And come to think of it, almost all the stresses I run into while tripping involve interacting with other people...driving, friends flipping out, ex-girlfriends puking all over the place...
I think I'm really going to enjoy this trip! I can't wait till I can finally get my finances in order, and maybe find somebody around here with some mushies.

Thats cool. I've tripped 3 times. All of them I was by myself and I guess they were fairly low doses. I'm actually tripping right now. I was going to wait a while and share these shrooms with some friends I was just kinda scared theyd go bad so i decided to take them tonight. Solo trips are really cool. They give you a lot of time to think. Just remember to have fun.
