When you trip by yourself what dose do you usualy take, and what do you do to keep yourself occupied?

I like to take small to medium doses when I'm with friends, and the larger doses when I'm alone. I usually go into my solo trips expecting to draw, write, read, watch TV, look at pictures, listen to music, etc. but quite often I find myself swallowed up by my thoughts in darkened silence for hours on end. This is a fantastic way to spend your high-dose trips and I highly recommend it.

I've really enjoy doing about 1/8 ounce powdered in a shot of lemon juice (after fasting for roughly 30 hours or so). I put on some headphones with [what I describe as psychedelic music] playing while I watch a video without the audio.
This one video, in particular, called "Microcosmos", is absolutely amazing (assuming you're not freaked out by insects). I don't know how they get the shots that they do, but it's all super-close-up footage of ants and snails and spiders and whatnot. With the music going -- trippy as shit. It blows my mind every time.
Also, taking balloons of N2O is great, too.

high doses are best to learn how to observe natures many laws. create what you want from the trip. My voice was always the easiest way to lead me towards transformation. I would go off alone in a very ritualistic manner feeling as if i was a shaman that needed to complete work and anchor new energies here on earth.

I only tripped alone once and I probably had alittle over 2 gs on an empty stomach. Only time I've ever gotten close to having a bad trip, wouldn't say It was a bad trip though. Just a difficult come up.
I was stuck in a loop of going around to these different spots inside and outside of my house. When I noticed I was in a loop I forced my self on the couch and luckily planet earth was on discovery HD so I watched that, and than watched some old simpsons episodes on dvd. Watching The Simpsons on Shrooms is definitely interesting.

Your trip becomes very introspective and meaningful(imo) when you trip alone.

about 2/3 of my trips are alone I've done all different kinds of doses alone
one of my favorite things to do during a solotrip: sit in a really hot bath for hours with candles lit, music going and what not nothing more comfortable than hot water when I trip, I tend to get the shivers when tripping

Ive only tripped twice with other people , once on acid at a school play which was actually really kool and once on shrooms with a bunch of my friends but these were friends i just met when i moved so it was really awkward and uncomfortable. but all the other times Ive tripped were by myself and i just like to walk around at night and look at the stars and feel the warm air and lay on the ground. i like tripping alone so much better than with people but Ive never really tripped with people that I'm completely comfortable with. i just ordered 3 12 inch cuttings of san pedro and should be doing that with a really good friend of mine in the next couple weeks. so ill see how that goes.

I have tripped alone on a number of occasions (but not frequently!) I like to be as free from distractions as possible. Mushrooms are so much more than entertainment. Lower doses can nonetheless be quite entertaining.

My last trip alone - well, alone for about eight out of the ten hours at least - was quite incredible. Laying there in complete darkness and silence it was like another world - a fluorescent, multicoloured, multidimensional space like a cave or the depths of a forest. Weird sounds and music filled my ears - flanging, morphing and reverberating, bursting forth into very psychedelic techno. And it spoke to me - without words but directly into my thoughts.
I had visions of all my friends as caricatures in the style of 'The Cat in the Hat'. I was told, "You are safe here, surrounded by lovely people." The visuals progressed through a huge variety of styles too numerous to list right now. That was last Samhain (halloween) night and most significantly I know I have stopped smoking tobacco for good.
As you might guess from the duration, this was a moderately high dose trip. I was using wild collected Ps. cyanescens, prepared as a tea with some wild herbs I had collected myself. The other salient point would be the use of a ritualistic element in the preparation and ingestion of the sacrement. As much or as little as one is comfortable with. To quote Stamets, "Ritual - a safety net for the psychonaut."
My one improvement to the scenario would have been to bring a bucket with me into my room as there was a very notable diuretic effect at this level.
This should really be my own trip report. It's not every thing that I recall in such detail! I'll expand it and post later. Time for the next one soon...
Safe tripping!
