Is tripping alone a dumb idea?

Simple question. I want to trip, but none of my friends want to trip and I can't convince any of them to do it with me. I have never tripped before but I really want to try it. If I ate an 1/8 of mushrooms at home, alone, with no parents for like 5 hours would I be ok? Is that a stupid idea? Incase you havent realized by now, I REALLY WANT TO TRY SHROOMS! I want to use it as a tool to explore my mind more than just as something that will fuck me up. Oh, by the way, I'm 16 and have had my fair share of MJ lol

 

Eat them, turn up some music, get naked

peace

 

nope, but sometimes it better to have someone there for company

 

If you are going to do it alone, be where you are most comfortable, and you will be good to go.

It's very beneficial and the self reflection is quite wonderful...

Enjoy

 

Thanks guys, I think I'll do it myself then. However, I will have to do it while my parents are out and I will have no idea when they will get back (i mean i know that it will be at least 3 hours) but if i eat an 1/8 do u think i will get paranoid and freak out when my parents get home 3 (or 4-5) hours later?

 

well..............
it might be weird...................
but you'll know what to do.............................................

 

4-5 hours you should be past the peak, at least enough to be somewhat yourself and deal with parents..

 

Just wait until your parents are asleep.
Flash back from your future self :
"Note to self : Have beer around so you can sleep if you have anything important to do in the morning"
God Bless +

 

as long as your parents are gone for 5 hours then yeh thats a pretty ideal situation to take shrooms.

But when they come back.. and youre still tripping? i would suggest climbing out the back window and going somewhere else lol but it depends on how interrogative your parents are. You could always just turn on music in your room and chill out as the trip runs out

 

you should be fine, but it would be a good a idea to have a trusted sober friend to keep an eye on you. imho, i wouldn't reccomend it if you only have 5 hours. even if it means finding another place to do it, you should allow yourself an entire day with no restrictions or distractions. if you're limited to only 5 hours, in the event that you're still tripping...which you probably will be, you might start freaking out and getting worried that your time is running out and you're going to get caught. been there, done that. wasn't something i'd want to do again.


also, just a little advice kind of getting off topic:

you probably won't even want to stay home the entire time. nature is AMAZING on mushrooms and other psychedelics. try finding a decent park or some woods to spend the trip at.


me, personally...i can't do mushrooms, in particular, alone. something about them just makes me feel really lonely and i go into a bad trip. with mushrooms, i always want to be around people. its comforting.



as long as you pull it off, you should be golden. tripping alone is perfect for shamanism and self exploration. try some meditation while the shrooms are kicking in.

 

If you do it when your parents arent home, make sure they wont be home for AT LEAST 5 hours, thats the MINIMUM, even after 4 hours you will still be tripping. If you know for an absolute fact they wont be home for 5 hours, then you can, but make sure they wont call you, or just tell them your going somewhere and your phone has no charge or whatever, then you should probably be fine.

 

Tripping by your self is fine as long as you feel safe doing it, know the chances you take doing them by your self, and as long as you are in a comfortable place on this planet where your butt calls, or your back or your hands, just be there and be whatever you need to be.

I don't get the whole drug induced thought wankage, wouldn't it be the same if you are sober and end up wankin' it? But yea I feel the trust between us blossoming into a big wad of understanding.

 

why dont you just do it on a friday night or something at a friends house? just because they dont want to trip, doesnt mean you cant trip in their company lol. you'd enjoy it more, and they'd probably enjoy watching you haha.

unless of course your original post said they didnt want to be a part of it, then well.. i guess you have no choice. im sure it will be fine, just turn on some music man

 

if these are good shrooms, and it's your first time, you might only wanna eat a half eighth. and if you can't find a good friend to do it with (which would be ideal), then i guess alone will probably be ok. just stay positive. i can relate to the guy that said he felt Lonely on shrooms though.

oh, 5 hours is NOT ENOUGH TIME. meaning; you will still be tripping then.
but, if it's gonna be midnight or something when they get home, and they aren't going to come in and check on you....
then you could just chill in your room after 5 hours.
check out nature for sure though.

avoid looking into mirrors if you want to take my advice

 

the first time I did shrooms, I did em by myself and I had no problems. I just waited for my parents to go to sleep, put on some headphones and good music, turned on my lava lamp and just let my mind go free.

You'll be fine.

 

ok, thanks so much for the advice guys

 

I've tripped many times by myself and loved it! I didn't my first time, but if you are an independent, adventurous person, then go for it. I would try to find a time when you can be away from your parents for more than 5 hours, in the woods, preferably.

 

Q: Is tripping alone dumb?
A: Only if you fear your own personality.

 

Don't trip alone, until you have tripped with others. IMHO.

 

Lol!!! Thats the funniest thing iv seen all day.
