Not neccessarily, but I'd suggest trying it if you're unexperienced with the feeling and the tripping. Sometimes you can be overwhelmed with bordom or anxieties that you cannot get rid of and you just have a bad trip. It is also a bad idea in the dark. I have had great trips in the dark in the past (because I was on a good trip already before it was dark). I've also had scary thoughs about outside in the dark a couple times, and I made a little plot about what would happen if I went out each time. I ended up having a good trip again anyways... Happy tripping, my advice is: get a sitter!
It is fine, ive done it many times. Ive taken up to 5 blotters by myself . pretty crazy i must say. But youll be fine, what people say about jumping off a building and shit or having a bad trip (rarely happens on acid) really never happens, or etleast with me. Just make sure you arent worried about it, just think happy, listen to the right music (all of this in preparation), and you should be fine. Alone is a different experiences and is equally as good as with friends in different ways. Hope this helps, any other questions feel free to ask.
No, you could always call a friend. Just don't let your mind stray towards negative thoughts. Ive never had a bad trip though.
same here. acid alone is great, acid with friends is great too, depending on how they handle it... ive tripped more alone then with people.
I find tripping on anything alone can be quite fun, though I know many people who don't like the solitude.
I have a friend who has only tripped by himself, he's had his fair share of experiences. He got interested in it after I told him about my experiences, then he looked into it and got REAL into it....almost a year later he finally found some, but by that time we were both at university so being the person who got him into it, all I could do was say "well, do what i told you and try to avoid what I said, and call me if things get too heavy." You could say that I was more of a spiritual advisor than a trip sitter, seeing that we live about two hours away from each other and I really only talked to him about the experience in general, usually not specifically what was going on. It definitely takes a certain kind of person to do it by themselves, I think that if you've been looking into it and want to do it then you could probably handle it yourself. If you've tripped before you'll know if you want to try it by yourself. Just be aware that getting bored is probably the worst thing that can happen, in my opinion that can lead to a VERY bad trip, because you start to try and abort the trip and you simply CANNOT do that. Have things to do, like coloring books, maybe some video games, a blank piece of paper and something to write with, things that can be physically manipulated (like a Rubik's Cube..I found that to be very comforting one night, I don't know why) or something that has weight to it that you can hold while you watch tv or something. And MAKE SURE you have someone you can call in case you need someone to talk to, things can get weird when you're alone.
Yeah i've taken it many times by myself and never had a problem. Well one time i sort of freaked the fuck out for about five seconds because my body felt like it was repeating. That was a little like a salvia trip. But i doubt it wouldn't have made a difference whether or not i had friends there. But i wouldn't recommend it.
so i can trip by myself alone at night. ill can just keep my light on or a little night light. i will most likly have water colors and brushes with my and paper and writng utensils and i could end up watching tv. what can a call to a friend do if you are tripping and in a weird funk and how would you chose this friend?
Someone who will bring you right back down to earth. Ideally a close relative imo, but obviously not everyone has relatives who they'd be comfortable with knowing they were tripping.. Though they don't *have* to know, you could just say you're drunk and needed someone to talk to.
I would say it's better for them to know you're tripping, because in my experience it can get very difficult to talk while tripping, let alone talk during a rough part. At least have it be someone close to you, someone that you trust fairly well. I think that once you've done it, you'll realize that you overestimated the scary part (as in, you probably won't get freaked out), and underestimated how profound it'll feel. Just remember that it's a 12 hour thing, and it WON'T stop.
INSANEPOOKIE says: For the first and perhaps second time have a FRIEND! It is preferred that they themself have experience in this matter as you will be acting a bit different in most cases. Hmm so once you've gained a good grasp of how it affects you then being solo seems ok to me, as I've followed my own advice in the begining and there after. As a side note: If you do have a "sitter" make sure they actually understand what LSD/Shrooms are and do so they themself don't freak out from your actions.
Doing it alone when you got things planned at your home to keep entertained is Great IMO. But, if you go out with friend's and suddently find yourself alone and not able to find those whom you came with in a place where you are not comfortable being alone in the 1st place (somewhere in public) and your the ONLY one tripping could lead to a very bad trip...trust me....
