Planning a self-discovery trip, need some help

Hey guys, im sorry if you read this in another thread, but im going to ask away anyways. So ive done shrooms twice, and 3 times after this weekend. all of them are around a 3-4 gram dosage, fairly minimal, i didnt trip out too hard. these were dried cubes.
so I really want to have a trip alone in my apartment with an increased dosage, so that I can lose myself in my thoughts, maybe discover something new, and really get the chance to express myself through art and writing, and anything else to record the trip.
So my question to you guys is, do you think I can step it up from a low dose, to say a 6 or 7 gram dose? It will be from the same source so the potency in the mushrooms should remain the same. I am a fairly laid back person whenever I know im getting into something that may be unexpected, like the first time i did shrooms, I totally relaxed myself and gave into the trip (much like what i read for a dmt trip) because I knew that if i didnt go with the flow, i would end up having a bad trip. Imo, I think I can relax and really make the best out of that trip, but I want some advice from experienced cubensis consumers. Do you all think it will be too much of a change? from 4 to 7 grams?
thanksssss

6 grams should be just fine, if you're in your own safe apartment. Nothing can go wrong there from what I've read.

Well, it will most probably be a change. Not sure what your other trips have been like.
Myself, I've tripped over the past year about 6 times, and still am leary about tripping alone. I really want to try it, but I think I would stick to a dose that I am used to.
What my suggestion would be would be to take your regular dose (3-4 grams) just to see how you react when you are alone and how your trip goes. There is nothing wrong with doing a small amount to test the waters. After you see how that trip goes, you could consider upping your dosage.
Just my 2 cents. Happy tripping!

Be prepared. It's a lot more intense. The main difference is that you lose the ability to rationally step back and evaluate your situation, especially while alone there is a tendency to really lose a grip on reality while on a 5g + dose, even more so than at 1/8th.
You REALLY REALLY have to just let it happen, but that can be hard. Expect crazy thought loops, powerful visuals, and just an all around spiritual time.
This dose will probably make you trip harder than you wanted to, but I say you should still do it. It'll be an experience.

IME, alone in the dark with no distractions is the best way to have a trip of self-discovery. Forget the music, forget the reading, forget the movies, forget everything. These will serve well if you want to back out and have some fun, but if you want to truly go deep into your mind, they'll just distract you. Dive in, it's easy.

Id say 3-4 grams alone is a much higher dose than 3-4 grams with friends. Add a blindfold and earplugs and you might get more than you asked for.
Hide the knives and scissors and other dangerous stuff. I also hang a sign on the inside of my door as a reminder that I am tripping and I should not leave. There have been times that I almost walked out to get a quick hamburger because I thought I was good to go. And than Id sit down and still id realize that I was still tripping pretty hard.
And remember, you can always step it up but you cant step it down.

another thing you could try would be to stick to your usual dose, plan your experience a week in advance, follow an ayahuasca-type diet; abstain from eating meat, fried foods, anything that would potentially pollute your body, i personally stick to plain rice, fruits and nuts. at least 12 hours before, dont eat anything, just drink spring water. meditate, find yourself some sort of ritual to prepare yourself for the voyage, then consume your sacrament in a nice quiet atmosphere with dim lighting. Ive found that these things normally put me in an extremely altered state no matter what substance im going to be taking, even before i take them. i think dedicating yourself this much to the plant your going to be working with shows some sort of respect and you reap a greater amount of benefits from the trip. Good luck

Having tripped on 6gs many times the best advice I can give is to pack your mind well.
Read inspiring/spiritual literature, watch films which reflect your philosophy/beliefs, look at photo albums from all stages of your life.
Have enough music to fill out the trip, with certain calm music put aside to aid you through any rough patches.
Have prepared a notepad, pens, pencils, art materials - be experimental but not too judgemental of the results.
When you're tripping simply accept everything that comes up, face your fears head on and remember you get the trip you need.
If nothing else a weird, uncomfortable tripping experience is a unique experience - often these are where the most important discoveries are to be found.
Good luck and let us all knwo how it goes.
