Hey dudes! I'm going to drop acid in a couple of days, and while it won't be my first time tripping, it will be my first time tripping by myself. Just me and my dog and the trees! I'm pretty damn excited. Does anybody who's tripped solo before have advice they think might be useful? Things I might want to have around, things I should keep in mind, general words of wisdom? If anyone just wants to talk about experiences you've had while tripping alone, that would be cool as well.
I've never tripped alone but I think i'd like it a lot. I like smoking pot by myself better than with smoking with other people. I did shrooms for the first time yesterday with a friend who is sort of unstable, and at points i just wanted to ditch her so i wouldn't have to worry about her but i couldn't do that.
tripping alone is great. Things you might want to have around include, lots of water, a few cds (a wide variety of music), and the option to go out and be social if you feel like it. I recommend staying at home rather than going out to a park or anything like that. Plus, I know about you dog people , introducing your dog to other dogs, talking with the owners, etc, that probably wouldn't be a good thing to do on acid. It sucks to be out in public when the trip becomes stronger than you expected and sometimes you can feel a little paranoid about interacting with other people, or simply can't verbalize or communicate in the way you are accustomed to. Plus you can always go out after you've realized how strong of a trip its going to be. Overall tripping alone is much more simple and not much to worry about. Peace.
i'm tripping for the first time tonight by myself.. why? not 'cause I have to, but 'cause I can! hahah. Just ate a tab 10 minutes ago
Triping alone can be great, but what you do on your trip will affect it greatly. Most people will say just relax and sit back and enjoy the ride, however I would recomend actualy doing something, even something simple like going on a bike ride or engaging in a regular activity such as hanging up washing to dry. The reason I recomend doing something is just sitting around and relaxing can become quite scary and the mind can start to play tricks on you. this from my personal experiences. It would be nice to have a light trip by yourself and even a trip to the grocery store can be a magical adventure, but on a heavy trip I would want to be around my friends.
I have tripped alone many times on shrooms. I had more bad than good trips but you learn more form the bad. I prefer the goood....
A month ago I was tripping alone in my back garden at 5 am, just as it was getting light. I had a blanket and a comfy chair. It's nice and green out there with bushes and flowers (no patio or anything) and the birds were singing and the sun was coming up, and being alone just made it better. I could hear everything so clearly and I felt a happiness I have never felt before, I felt at one with nature. It was the most amazing experience I have ever had, so if you're tripping alone then i recommend doing it during the dawn!
haha, last time I tripped, my friends and I got comforters, blankets, and pillows and laid on our backs looking at the stars from his backyard. there were millions of stars, although, any other night, you can't usually see the big dipper
