So if I were to get some shrooms or acid would it be a completely dumb shit idea to have my first trip alone? I would do it with friends, however most of my close friends steer clear of anything other than weed and wouldn't know how to handle a situation. And the friends that would be cool with tripping with me are kind of shady and I don't think I would feel really comfortable with them. I'm really not an anxious or depressed person, I'm generally very happy and don't have any "inner demons". And almost all of my initial drug experimentation has just taken place in my basement and I feel really safe there. so basically should I just trip in my safe comfy basement where I get high every day alone. Or just wait till I find cool friends comfortable with psychadelics?
I think you would probably be fine. Others might disagree, but if you start with a low dose of either, as long as your in a good mood, and in your basement where you feel comfortable and safe I think you'll have a good trip. Just make sure you have some idea what you're in for. And remember...try not to get scared or panic...as strange as things may seem, just go with it.
my first trip was alone. I was fine. it was beautiful. it helps to have some element of nature nearby, and keep reminding yourself that you are tripping, and that nothing can hurt you. i stared out of my window for hours. my trip report from that trip is somewhere in the forums, but it's pretty far back. almost a year.
You sound like you should be fine. Just start with a low dose. It may also be helpful to write on a piece of paper, before you start tripping, something like "My name is _____. I took __ hits of LSD. The only thing in my world that has changed is my perception. LSD typically lasts 8-10 hours. I will be sober by ___ o'clock." This is just in case you start to get a little overwhelmed, since it doesn't seem like you have anybody you could call. Seeing things like this in your own handwriting will help to ground you to reality if it gets to be too much for you. Also, get some headphones and some good music. Something chill, maybe something a little weird.
Do it if your basement has lots of nice warm colors and textures and shapes of things on the walls, you will have a blast Get in a sandy light orange/yellow room and make it open and comfortable and put on some music like sublime or chili peppers you will have a blast Or if you want, try to get outside and enjoy nature for a good part of it as well Nature is so fucking beautiful you will be amazed Look at the individual leaves on bushes and stuff, blades of grass in the wind Tree bark The hairs on your arm Oh and this will trip you OUT Look at the side of a building like this http://members.cox.net/surprise-handyman/house-bricks.jpg Start a big angle and move towards the wall; about 3 feet away to parallel The texture will look like it squashes and becomes separate from the wall as a 3d pattern AMazing
