Tripping Alone on a High Dose?

I want to eat a quarter ounce tonight but the thing is I won't have a trip sitter. The most I've eaten before is an 8th. Is this a stupid idea? The mushrooms are psilocybe cubensis. What level trip should I be expecting if I eat them on an empty stomach?

i wouldn't suggest it......
are you an experienced tripper?
It really comes down do you have confidence that you can control yourself while tripping hard.
you don't know anyone who can just chill, maybe blaze a little and hang bye your side?

you also could get sick... and start throwing up... which can result in a temporary bad trip on a high dose.... and without a sitter can just screw you up...

Low Dose + meditation/disciplined-thought can be as effective as a high dose... Yet more responsible since you can free yourself from the grasp of a lower dose by ending your meditation/trance, therefore, can be more safe being alone.

You should expect a level 5 trip, for sure. going by your amount, you have 7 grams of mushrooms. That's about 40mg of psilocybin, which is a strong, strong dose. I've tripped twice by myself on an eighth and was fine, hell, I was by myself when I dropped a lot of LSD, and I freaked out a lot, but I kept it to myself.
I think you'll be fine...if you freak out, just remind yourself that you're just tripping hard, that in reality, everything is just the way it normally is...

i think try taking an eighth and if you don't get wear you wanna get smoke some weed.... and if that doesn't work take more.... if you take it all at once... you will be sick and tripping uncomfortably hard.

wow man...go for it. some of my best trips have been by myself and with high doses. I personally dont enjoy level 5s with other people...unless they are close to me like my brother. and that was done in maui so plenty of good reason for it. try it out...you may find your mind taking to places youve never been. in the same token you may wake up in detroit or something.

i definitely would not recommend tripping on an empty stomach(ive blacked out before doing that and fell down a metal fire escape OUCH!). especially if you have no one with you and havent experienced a high dose of mushrooms. i suggest eating some rice, fruit, and drinking fresh squeezed oj. startting off with a good light meal will start the good mental vibes! have fun buddy

if they are a 1/4 dry, i wouldn't suggest it w/o a sitter. no matter how solid your mind might be. 1/4 wet, i think you could handle it. what makes you want to eat such a high dose of fungus, is it just you have it sitting around?? split that 1/4 with someone cool and just kick back and have an awesome evening.

One of the best trips i had was with a quarter, and I was by myself. It started off pretty terrible actually, so i decided to change the scenery. I went outside by the lake (i was at a lake house at lake Conroe, Texas) and stared at the thousands of stars while i listened to a good old Porcupine Tree album, Stupid Dream, for the first time. There was no moon in sight and it was mind blowing. Listening to good music with good headphones is one of my favorite things to do on mushrooms, second to staring at the stars.
I had taken mushrooms probably 20 times before though, and most of them were within a 4 month period (a couple years ago). Now that I look back, it was kinda stupid. The trip started out pretty scary and depressing, and if i hadn't been so comfortable with mushrooms I probably would have flipped out more than I did. So, be VERY sure you know how to handle a bad trip before you try to do a high dose by yourself.
Good luck though whatever you decide!

It's a quarter dry. The first time I ate shrooms, they were really intense. I had vivid OEV and CEV. I really wanted to have an experience like that again. I think they were psilocybe azurescens. I thought that a quarter of cubensis would be about the same as an 8th of azurescens.

i strongly recomend researching the differences between azurescens and cubes. a 1/4 of any will give you an insane body trip. at times you'll question weather or not you can even handle the feeling. then theirs the mental aspect. prepare yourself for thoughts. seems like your doubt may get the better of you. just remember that you do the shrooms...they dont do you. and everyone should do this atleast once to really see how far they can go.

Agreed, but work your way up to it! Don't be stupid and jump straight to an extremely high dose just to see if you can handle it. I did mushrooms at least 20 times before I tried that 7g dose. Also, they were picked from a field...so not quite as intense, but still very strong!
Good luck again on whatever you decide!

I've taken 6 grams by myself. You'll be too out of it to really harm yourself. You'll most likely just sit in one spot for a good long time.
Good vibes. Hope it goes well for you

last time i tripped, i ate 8 grams, and i was alone. i had my first bad trip. i thought i was in purgatory. it was actually kind of nice, a nice scare, im that way.
it all depends on the type of person you are.
are you the type that runs to others when your scared/under stress?
are you the type that does irrational things when scared/under stress?
my 8 gram trip was absolutely horrifying. i didn't do anything stupid and i will do 8 grams again...after a few 5-6 gram trips.
i usually take 5-6 grams alone when i trip. i only trip every once in a while with other people. but i haven't tripped in two months and that's the longest i've gone without tripping in a year.

I don't recommend it unless you are very confident that you can handle it for sure. All of my trips have been alone and my highest was 5 grams, it wasn't as intense as I thought it'd be and I could have definitely done more.. but I'm used to tripping alone.

Never tripped alone. In fact, every time I've tripped one of my two best friends has been present. Even one time I got randomly dosed at a club.
It's really wierd how that works. I really plan on tripping cid or acid one day but I've heard bad comedown stories. Not necessarily bad trips but my friends all took 3 hits of acid each and they had to split up halfway through the trip.
1 turned out fine, 1 (who was a big acid guru) had a great time being alone but had such a terrible comedown he decided never to do acid until he was done with college and made the decision to be an acid freak, and then the last guy has always been pretty skizo and nutty but I know he freaked out but I can't really tell a difference because he's so insane already.
Oh, and he was convinced for like 2 months that he was permanently pushed back from reality "just a little".
Those are the reasons why I don't know if I'm ready :[

Yesterday night my trip on a quarter went great. It was about a level 3-4 trip. I've decided that I am going to trip by myself from now on, although I don't recommend it. I stayed extremely calm the whole time, even more calm than when I'm tripping with my friends. I finally had a chance to think instead of talking to my friends the whole time. I figured out a lot of stuff about my life. Next time I am going to eat 8 or 9 grams. I love tripping!

word. Music helps me through bad trips and enhances good trips. Listening with good headphones makes it 10x better too

i ate 6g for the first time and had a nightmare, i threw up and coulnt stop that was the only time i threw up from shrooms it was scary,plus i had no pot which made it worse since i smoke daily, but i learned more from that bad trip then every other trip i had combined. i triped a week later and had the best most spirtual trip ever just try to find some nitrous and pot that seems turns things into being positive again
