better done alone?

I think mushrooms can be a very intense learning experience if you do them alone. I've only ever done them alone once and I freaked the fuck out but that was back in the day. I don't regret it though, taught me to treat mushrooms with respect. I just picked them up that day and planned on doing them with my friend but he was ill so I was like "meh, what the hell". Basically I just wanted to get high. It was good for an hour or so then I started hearing scary noises and for no reason started to panic and I COULD NOT for the life of me calm myself down. I ran into my living room, hopped under a blanket and sat there terrified for the rest of the trip. I look back on it now as being very interesting, although I was a mess for about a week after. (I couldn't be alone in my house without freaking out) I wouldn't mind trying some again by myself in a familiar environment with some good tunes. I'm much more experienced in that area now.

 

fuck no, i dont think i could do them alone.

when im alone i get depressed and nervous & uneasy. and thats when im sober!

when i shroom i do it with 3 to 4 people, tops. i also dont like being around hella people when im trippin.

 

Last time i tripped at a party (about 10 pretty chill people) the 5 of us that were tripping wound up locking ourselves in the kitchen pantry to get away from everyone..Then just sprinted out of the apartment to go on a magical journey. One, if not the best tripping experience I have had. Tripping with one or two really close friends is also fun, also makes it easy to be somewhat alone if needed.

I haven't tripped alone yet but plan on it soon..i'm only going to do 1.75g to achieve a decent trip bc I don't want to freak out or get paranoid..

much love.

 

i've tripped alone.

i didn't like it, i got bored.

 

I like shrooming with a few good friends best, but I've never done it alone. I'm going to someday soon though. I don't think I'll have a bad trip, because I feel I have a strong mind. I'm only gonna go 1.5g's though. Gonna listen to music, and just sit and think really. Get back in touch with myself.

 

We're all alone.

Always.

 

well yeah thats a good point.

 

I tripped with my buddy the other night who has never done it before. I've tripped once before. He was afraid from the get go and wasn't able to let go and was constantly fighting it off which causes more anxiety. I noticed I was getting caught up in his trip, trying to help him let go but it made me feel his anxiety a bit. but once we seperated I went on a journey by myself and it was very delightful. I even though to myself, I should trip alone a lot more. No one to bother me. I could look at what I want. Go where I please. Think about what I want to think about. Great time. At least you know your not gonna annoy yourself, other people have the ability to be annoying or mess with your trip.

 

I love tripping by myself. But I chose tripping with a loved one because it's always fun to share your experiences. When you're by yourself you have complete control of the situation and you can really go deep inside your psyche. Acid alone is even better though.

you can't have any fear though, because know one will be there to talk you down if you start having a bad trip. I've tripped around oh, forty times or so, and never had a bad trip so I don't worry about it. If I start feeling nervous I listen to the Grateful Dead and feel alright.

 

its never wise to do mush alone. always be with people you trust and don't go out to a bar or really busy place.

 

its better to trip with others no matter what you are takeing

 

Ive tripped alone and with friends and both are great.If you know what your doing by yourself can be very insightful ,interruptions can get in the way Monks isolate themselves to "break through" but please know what your doing ! Love and Peace (still)

 

I think it's better with the smallest group of trusted people possible. That usually leads to a good trip. I was in a room once with some fellow hippes and we were all tripping because one had an ounce (one big mushroom) and I was having a bad time because we were discussing global warming and everyone got all poetic as their trip intensifyed. I tended to stay away form teh argument because I had no good points on that. They both sounded good though... I did argue about trying to ban cars and means of transportation permanently, I just wanted them to run it off of clean burning fuels... Lol, my points is, do it with a trusted person (1 or 2).

 

that must've bin quite a fucking gigantic fungus.

 

are we defining alone as being totally by yourself or as being the only person tripping on shrooms?

i just wanted to clarify.

The only times i've done shrooms so far has been with whatever partner i had at the time, i'm hoping to get some, but my hubby doesn't want to do any; so i'm going to take them by myself, but he'll be around. It will be an interesting experience, for sure.

 

i would want to do it at a huge ass party

 

Well, I like to do mushrooms by myself every other time. The other times it's with some friends!

 

yea with a low dose, your probably taking it just to enjoy the good feeling and the colorful effects, a higher does is for the color, and the meaning of it all, but with a low dose its fine alone, just stare at a wall and listen to music

 

You're telling me!

This time last year me n a mate took Mushrooms for the 1st time in amsterdam. We went straight for the strongest and took all 30 g of the Hawaiians back at the hotel before hitting the town.

20/30 mins in we got off the tram and went for a wander. Being on mushrooms in a foreign city not knowing where you're going, full of people. We were very paranoid. One moment we were in hysterics by the river, the next freaking out in some train station. Warped dimensions, that's all I can say. It was too intensive to make much sense out of it. Last 2 hours were great (when we got back into a safe environment), First 3 hours was pretty bad overall. Probably the best AND worst time of my life. But it meant so much more because I shared that time with a friend and I'll never forget it!

Never taken them alone before but I'm planning on having some 'me' time at the Vondelpark when I get to the 'Dam in a couple of weeks. I'm only gonna take a small amount of a lighter dose. Should be fun, we'll see.

 

I'm thinking about buying an 8th of shrooms from my friend, tripping at sun rise, and going out into the city alone. I feel like it would be an educational experience for me, especially since I'm trying to become more independent and self sufficient. What is a better way to do that than to trip alone in a city environment? When you can face a city alone on shrooms, you can be comfortable anywhere.

What are some precautions I should take though? I think going in the day rather than the night is a wise choice for one thing, but is there some advice you who have done this before can give me?
