Tripping Alone

Some people just don't understand. I was once hanging out with some friends on weekend night and had just popped some E for the first time when this kid who isn't a close friend tells me "well you know, you can die tonight, you know that right? E is really dangerous and I've freaked out on it...blah blah blah".

It's like, if you have concerns about someone taking a psychedelic drug, you tell them before, not after, they've taken it. All your doing with your nagging is risking spreading paranoia at the crucial moments when they are coming up. Fortunately for me, I'm not very much influenced by the negative opinions of others and I had a good time but I wonder if it wouldn't have been even BETTER if I'd been with others who were taking E and in a good mood.

I'd say with acid, trip with someone your close to, preferably someone of the opposite sex. On a bad trip, what I really want is a comforting feminine presence, just to be there. That's just me though, maybe others feel safer around their own gender.

But alone? I've tripped on low doses of acid by myself and was fine but a true 300 mic+ trip where the entire universe changes, and not always to something safe, I don't know if I'd want that alone. I would do it as a meditation though, with my eyes closed.

 

well i have never EVER tripped alone. i have only ever done lsd with my husband. i read all these great posts about tripping alone--i have a lot of inner work to do today so i popped 2 tabs on my tongue about 15 minutes ago. i'm really looking forward to it.

i pulled a few tarot cards before i started: i got The Devil, The Holy Spirit & the Medicine Wheele. gonna be a biggie.

 

Damn I envy you!! I wish I had a few tabs lying around that I could drop but I have lost all my connects since I took a few years' break! But, really, I am happy for you because you seem to use acid for introspection and self-improvement. Have a great trip!

 

I took my first hit with some friends, but ended up tripping alone. It was awesome!

 

I hear some people say this, and I wonder, really. There are alot of scary things that can happen when you're tripping, but just because you experience bad things doesn't mean you've had a bad trip. "Bad trips," are introspective dives into what can only be described as hell. They're certainly easier to attain on mushrooms but it's possible with LSD, too.

It's like this. An unenjoyable trip is one where you're paranoid and bad things happen to you. A "bad" trip is one where your mind no longer functions correctly and your subconscious unleashes.

I'm not saying you don't have this experience. I'm just skeptical when I hear people say they never consider any trip, "bad". Because with "bad" trips, there's absolutely nothing enjoyable or insightful. They just scare the everliving-sh** out of you.

I'll never trip alone.

 

i like both. havnt done any real high doses alone and i probably wont till im out of the house. too risky. but 2 or 3 hits by yourself and your straight. for me at least. but with friends its great too.
tripping alone lets me listen to music by myself and have those crazy introspective trips that your just cant have when your fucking around with people. friend tri[ps are more chill and relaxing and just fun


sorry if this doesnt make any sense, i cant really read right now since im on dxm

 

what a GREAT time! i can't believe i waited so long to trip by myself--it was WONDERFUL! first i did 2 hits followed by another 3 hits 4 hours later. might be the most important night of my life in terms of growth and development. at the peaking point though it was all about aliens--i sat in the dark staring out the window and the sky was full of spaceships! i looooved it.
