Tripping on one's own

I would like to see what it's like tripping on my own but I've heard it may not be good. I've done it 3 times before with friends so I kinda know what to expect.

Opinions?

 

i tripped once on my own... big mistake!! i wanted some quiet inspiration for painting but i didn't think it would go that deep, but it does! you can start thinking about alot of stuff, and it seemed to go on forever.. i almost started crying because i wanted the trippin to end so badly.. i'm usually a very happy person, and i love my life, but that night, i just wanted it to end.. i couldnt get to sleep for hours, but eventually i fell asleep and the next morning everything was back to normal but i know i'll remember the expirience for the rest of my life.. i don't advise to do it on your own, it's a much better expirience to do them when your with your friends..

 

personally i just wouldn't recommend it until you've become much more experienced. I did them by myself the third time i did shrooms,scared me too death, it was a much more enlightening experience alone though, no other people to change the effect, its all just your mind, your reality, but its kinda too crazy for me. just be careful.

 

i used to trip on my own, i always thought it was pretty fun, if a little boring. terrance mckenna said that the best way to have an introspective self-discovery trip is to trip in a darkened silent room, absolutely no outside stimuli so that the mind can be left in peace to do its mad trippy thing

 

i prefer tripping solo

 

I've tripped on my own and have not had issues at all. Depends, what where, how much etc..set and setting man. Stay safe.

I've actually grown very fond of tripping by myself, in fact, I much prefer it to tripping with close friends. It allows you the freedom of choosing your own setting and the ability to focus your experience on more personal elements, which isn't possible with some crazy albino kid running around your basement selling roll pills to walls.

 

How about being with people you know and trust, yet being the only person tripping? I'd like to trip again but none of them feel up to it like I do but they don't mind me doing it

 

I only trip on my own.. I cant stand having someone else (whether they are tripping or not) holding me back down to reality.. pretty much cuase no one I know trips the same way I do.. (i'm more of a 'leary' style.. while theyre all more of a 'merry pranksters' style).. one of my most negative experiences was with others...now I just go solo unless someone is interested in seeing whats really 'beyond'. just when you start doing it by yourself.. start low and work your way up.. and dont take big steps.. I found that out lol.. and just make your setting as comfortable as can be.. and do a lot of research.. and I mean a lot.. fill your subconscious with information...

and also I find doing it alone works best during the day.. becuase you can be in the dark inside meditating or whatnot.. then if afterwards, or if you feel like it or maybe 'need' to get out.. you can go outside and be in the sunlight.. its great... especially that 1st second you go into the light when your pupils are still the size of dimes lol...

prepare good but not too much...

like makes sure you got alot of stuff 'ready' like music and whatnot.. so you dont have to mess around trying to find stuff and everything while tripping.. and give yourself plenty of choices and different outlets to explore.. but dont try and make a schedual... guidelines are very good.. but let the experience flow as it wants without much ego-steering...

 

^ yeah, what lostchord said.. taking them during the day would be the best choice

i made the stupid mistake of eating them at night, and i kept on getting the urge to go outside..

 

I used to trip by myself a lot or be the only person tripping hanging with friends.I didn't tell them half the time , though I'm sure some noticed .Not everyone likes it but I do.Another fun trip is not talking when you trip.

 

thats one thing ill never do again...i dont even like tripping around sober folk when there a group tripping with me. thats just my personal preference these days though.

 

sounds good, with one change, what about adding some relaxing instrumental music?

 

the music would assist in holding you into reality and could also imprint hallucinations..


to reach a pure transcendental state, you have to turn off your exterior senses..

but you can definitly still have a pretty deep and intense inward experience without being completly shut out from the external reality...

 

*sigh* Ah the good ol days. I remember one summer when it seemed like trip was just falling out of the sky into my lap daily. I was getting lots of it very cheap and there was seldoma time I didnt have at least a 10 strip of gel in the freezer. I had a good sized back yard with a tall privacy fence so on my days off work I would wait till my girlfriend went to work, drop a couple hits and just play by myself all day long. I enjoy my solitude sometimes anyway and I really liked being able to chill and do whatever I wanted. Hang out naked around the house or in the back yard, listen to whatever I wanted, watch movies(especially the Doors), write or just fire up a jay and watch the clouds go by. *sigh*

 

yet to try mushrooms but i will be here shortly, and since i have nobody to trip with and no trip sitter what should i do?(and dont say find one/some cuz there is none and i dont feel like explaining myself)

 

Be very careful doing that by yourself if its your first time jointman. If youre doing shrooms just eat a few at a time until you get where you want to go. If you cant find someone to do it with you then at least have the phone number of someone you can trust handy just in case things get out of hand. But have fun!

 

thanks man, your stationed in norfolk huh? i lived in yorktown last year and ill be moving back to that area this summer

 

Sometimes though if if you trip in a large crowd you could freak out though, but im talking big like a music concert. I personally love trippin at concerts but, some people react differently to large crowds, such as my friend who ate mush before a concert and basically freaked out after the concert start, and blacked out, this was at Moe, and passed out and hit the floor, I also think this was becuase he was to hot, be sure to remind yourself to drink water
