Is tripping alone a dumb idea?

I wish I had some shrooms.........

 

more wisdom from the resident shaman?

 

wow, this post really is pathetic... I mean, the great bard Terence McKenna always said that he would trip alone to over come the problems in his mind aswell as athe universe. For you to say that the only thing that you can think of doing with psychedelics is jacking off than you got some serious issues that need to be fixed. Try dancing, running, meditating, climbing trees, ride your bike, go for a swim, draw, paint, sculpt, play music, come on now...

 

thats something i never understand, mirrors are tight as shit when your tripping! heh

but anyway, if its your first time id recommend having a friend there. tripping alone is cool as shit but if you become overwelmed your gonna be in one hell of a ride. and mushrooms are harder to handle in my opinion than acid.....way more intense

 

i prefer taking mushrooms with friends honestly.

 

if you arent with people, you wont have much to laugh about

 

If there gonna be home in 3 hours, thtas when youll be at your peak, so if you dont know for sure when there coming home i would just sleep over at a friends house. You dont wanna take that risk and have your trip ruined, right when your at your peak and your parents come in the house and see how fucked up you are.

 

untrue, maybe for you but countless times I've tripped alone and usually I can feel the trip come up from my legs and into my eyes. And at that moment I burst out into laughter at the sight of the pun. I usually talk to my ID and my Spirit Guide throughout my trip and they just keep telling me these jokes that I just break out in laughter from.

 

well perhaps you do laugh a lot by yourself. And I find myself laughing by myself plenty often. But this is pale in comparison to the laughter that occurs with other people around. There are plenty of people who never laugh by themselves, and I imagine most people fall under that category.

I think that shrooms may show you many more funny things in your world than you see normally. but you will always find more things to enjoy if there is a Friend around too

 

Eat it before your parents go, like 1 hour or so before they go, that leaves 1 hour before you start tripping, and you should hit the peak a little after they have gone, and that leaves another 4-5 hours for tripping, and by then you will be coming down. Erowid pretty much says that you will be already halfway down by 4 hours, and mostly down by 5 hours.

 

If you stay in your room you will probably look at your things and how you set up and have a revelation of looking at yourself from an outside perspective and have a bad trip

I say go out in nature and enjoy yourself
bring some music, guitar, w/e but ya you might feel the urge to have some human contact

 

^ i second that

 

Dude, I would definately start with a 1/2 8th and then in like, an hour you can still eat the rest if you want. It'll make you trip a little longer, but if your shrooms are good, you probably wont want more than a 1/2 eighth for your first time.

 

first time i delved into the murky depths of mush territory was alone in my room. i had previously had encounters with lucy more than a few times so if its your first time ever tripping on anything i dont know how comfortable you would be in that situation.

 

it's my third time on mushrooms and i'm alone for the first time.

right now it's so incredible. but that's just my personality, sometimes i don't mesh well with the people i'm with. i tend to mesh pretty well with me when it comes down to it, despite what i might tell you otherwise.

so it really depends. also on the dose- i wouldn't reccomend a high dose alone, that could get shifty.

 

I love that kind of stuff. I love tripping alone for that very reason. You rediscover yourself in a really specific, down to earth sense... Like, oh, these are my movies, my books, my clothes, they all have this connection to who I am and have my energy in them... I think it's absolutely beautiful. And if you're like me and keep everything, you can go through old notebooks or notes people have written you, and it gives you this beautiful perspective on your life. And it does give you a sense of connection to the rest of the world when you realize that you're not the only one, that everything you identify with is connected to everyone else and all they identify with. You're not alone.

 

I have decided to purchase a quarter of mushies and eat half an 1/8 when my parents go to sleep. I feel very comfortable in my own bedroom and that is where I will be while I trip so I shouldn't have a bad trip. I will have my ipod, a tv, a bottle of orange juice, and some trippy posters in my room. I also have a bathroom in my room so I will have no need to exit and risk waking up my parents. Any other suggestions as to what I should have with me/things I should do?

P.S. I prefer smoking by myself opposed to smoking with people so hopefully I will be fine tripping alone. Wish me luck!

 

if you cut off your arm you might die
if you stare at the sun long enough you'll go blind

what if what if what if, quit asking if questions. I've TRIPPED IN A ROOM BEFORE! WOW!!?!?!? And i'm still here. WE don't need gereralizations on what your suppose to do, and where your suppose to do them. There is not a doubt in my head that if you don't go outside for at least an hour or 2 while your tripping then you got something to think about, butto say you should be outside for the entire trip!?!? Thats no fun.

 

lol. fucking hippies.

always afraid of deep introspection and a "bad trip" that might come as a result. I say why not?


i have tripped alone in my room plenty of times, and these trips are usually very insightful. I don't really try to suppress or avoid those darker or more unsettling aspects of myself that can manifest during a trip. after all the deepest reaches of your subconscious are not all rainbows and fractals. to be whole you have to embrace the darker side to things as much as you do the light..for the light cannot exist without darkness and vice versa. 'bad trips' (no such thing in my mind, ive never had a trip that was completely negative) or the more rough patches in trips can sometimes be the times where you learn the most about yourself.

i have seen people have very difficult experiences out in nature too, not just indoors. if the mindset aint right the setting wont make much of a difference.

 

if you just close your eyes and listen to the mushroom, it will guide you far and wide.
