Ahh, that reminds me of someone who lives around here that has a pet deer: it sleeps on his couch and everything I've never tried mushies alone, tho I really want to. With friends is amazing because of the mind-link thing, and the aspects of yourself you see in them.
i like to keep shrooms as a thing to do with close friends who know their selves inside out. if you know what i mean. if you do shrooms alot by yourself, the spiritual intensity of this fungus starts to become less significant.
I find it all depends on the friends you are with. Some of my friends I've tripped with are so amazing that their very presence shines a light on my soul and makes the whole inner journey so much more fulfilling. However, some of my other friends who are more focused on the physical world and cling to their egos make any attempt I try at an inner journey more difficult. Therefore it all depends.
