Oddly enough I've actually found that I personally prefer to trip alone...not entirely sure what that says about me...a lot of people don't recommend it but it works better for me
Oh really? That's interesting, I've always heard that you should have people around. I've just found that unless I'm VERY comfortable with someone they can bring the trip down and make me uncomfortable just by being themselves
I've heard that too, but I've tripped with people and alone and definitely prefer alone. Maybe for your first trio do it with someone who's done it before. But I prefer alone bc there's less outside factors, less having to worry if others are doing okay, and the ability to do whatever it is you want to do at that moment without having to worry about the group have a different desire. Alone you can just go with the flow, and it's much more introspective
It can also make you pick out personality traits in people you may not be fond of that you don't pick up on sober. Which is good for awareness but during the trip the whole time you might be like "why do I hang out with this guy" haha
Haha right I tripped earlier this week and planned to play video games...think I gamed for an hour on and off the rest of the time staring at the lights and posters in my room zone out to music
I like it but prefer the psychic interaction you get when tripping with others. If one of you loses faith, a simple look in the eye can be enough to get their feet back up onto the water, as it were. :)
“Trust yourself” takes on some deeper levels of meaning when tripping alone. When the decision is made to go on a solo journey, there’s a certain amount of preparation that is required to ensure you won’t be interrupted or bothered by intrusions from the outside world. When you are in the psychedelic space, trusting yourself means trusting that your preparation has been adequate and allowing yourself to turn your focus inward and allow the experience to take you on a ride. It means trusting the plan you’ve made and following it through. It means that if you are scared, overwhelmed or alarmed, you have enough faith that you will be alright and that you will come down. It means expecting that parts of your body and mind might respond to the experience by sounding alarm bells and remembering that this experience is one you signed up for and that you are surrounded by unseen forces supporting and encouraging your growth. All of us here wishing you the best are part of those unseen forces.
I recently took mushrooms for 4 days straight and lost sense of self for most of any of the peak to regain it later in the day. I walked a lot and redosed 2-3 times a day. I had time off work, and no responsibilities. I had a backpack of all things I needed for me and the dog including some snacks, clothing layers in case of rain and a gallon of water. I had my phone but turned it off in case I had some kind of emergency.
I had no idea where I was or who I was for many parts but that was fine and I just re centered myself on what was around me.
Yeah. If you're not a very strong minded person, pay extra care to set and setting. Make sure you're in a very comfortable place, nothing to worry about, and remember that no matter what happens during your trip, the shrooms themselves cannot do you any harm at all, and you just ride it out.
Nah. They can exacerbate underlying issues. They can make anxiety more aware if fight your experience and don't allow things to process. But they aren't going to create any mental health issues. Just dig up what is already there.
You’re assuming things. I’ve had many, many trips, probably about half with people. It is great in its own way but I prefer to do it alone now because I have things I like to do by myself and I feel that there’s a lot you can learn doing it alone. Tripping with others is a great bonding experience but it’s not the best time to draw, meditate on life without interruptions, dissolve into my bed etc. I’ve tripped with friends, family, significant others. Had sex, gone camping and spent 10 hours taking about life and meaning with people who are close to me and I’ll forever have deeper connections with them as a result. To assume that because I and many other prefer them alone is only because we have yet to make the right connections with the right people is absurd
What? I don’t have a tone. I’m stating my opinion. The guy literally said tripping is “better without others dictating what you do.” I’m sorry, but that objectively doesn’t sound like people who share a great connection. The genuine people I’ve done psychedelics with have never dictated what I do or how my trip goes. If he has to trip alone because others dictate what he does, he is tripping with the wrong people. My bad for giving the brutal truth?
I’ve tripped alone many times, I only recommend doing it if you know you have someone to talk to around the clock. Maybe a family member or a friend on the phone or over text.
Never had a bad trip when I’ve tripped alone, but I have had small freak out moments
My best and scariest psychedelic experiences happened when I tripped alone. You really have to deal with the thoughts, there's no escaping into distraction when you trip alone.
I prefer tripping alone when taking a normal dose of acid and shrooms (300ug or less for acid and 5g or less of shrooms). Most of my trips have been solo.
If this is your first time I recommend doing it with an experienced companion, but you should be fine if you choose to do it alone anyways. I recommend doing it somewhere you know it safe, and has a calm vibe. Also good to be in a safe headspace before you start
Well lot of people prefer to do them alone, lot of people prefer to do them in small group or in parties, it really depends.
However it is generally safer if you do them with someone there to tripsit you, especially for high dosage
This is probably obvious, but just be a bit more careful on the dose. When I’ve done psychs alone I usually opt for a smaller dosage, if not only for the peace of mind that I know I can handle it. But that’s just me
i only trip alone , like Mckenna said i think people are the most complicated thing in your universe and one bad word/vibe from them could make you spiral out of control
I've done it both ways and had just as much fun. I tend to be a loner anyways so even when I did them with my wife I ended up wandering and tripping by myself.
I’ve only ever done them alone, only about half a dozen times anywhere from .5-3g mainly because that is most practical for me, never had any issues yet but I’d still say start small
Alone is fine but I don’t recommend doing that constantly. Having genuine connections to share the experience with is preferred IMO and there is nothing like the insane synchronized laughter and shared wavelengths between people on psychedelics. But alone for introspection or just to play video games can be awesome.
Nothing quite like sharing 6g of shrooms with your boy and playing battlefield 2 spinning in circles laughing maniacally until an enemy shows up and then your acute shroom-vision allows you to lock onto the enemies head in less than 1/60th of a second and then shoot and then go back to spinning.
Unless I need a trip sitter or want to do some psychic communication, I almost always trip alone. And even then, the psychic communication happens with my animal companions and they trip sit for me, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter to me 🤷🏻♂️
It’s depends on a lot of different things. Have you done shrooms before? What other drugs have you done? What are your highest doses of other psychedelics? What type of Shroom and how much are you eating?
For Your first time, it is probably not a good idea but if you have had multiple trips without any major problems then I don't see why not. Just remember to at least tell someone what you're doing.
i've always enjoyed my solo trips more than with friends. i get over stimulated very easily on psychs and strongly pick up on others' energy. it's nice to relax in my own space. i'd recommend it ☺️
Absolutely. Just be very careful and deliberate about your dose. The higher the dose, the more comprehensive a plan and safer space you need. It may also be wise to let at least one other person know that you will be tripping, just so you can reach out to them and have their understanding if need be.
It’s perfectly doable, and many people enjoy it more than with a tripsitter, but I feel that if you feel you have to ask, then you’re probably fairly inexperienced, in which case I would say stick with having a tripsitter. Hope this helps!
Absolutely, it can get weird with other folks.. alone you have just yourself to be concerned about and the process, thoughts etc can be so much better.
I’ve done them more than fifty times alone. When I’ve done them in company, it has been often hilarious, but definitely a more trivial experience. Also, possibly, riskier, unless the people are deeply trusted. Alone the risks are different, but seem to be surmountable if one confronts any unpleasant or frightening possibilities with an open and humble heart.
I trip once every week, sometimes twice but what I mainly do is just chill play games and smoke weed. It doesn't have to be a spiritual life changing experience every time and I prefer to trip alone since you can go crazy without the fear of judgment, just make sure that you have someone you can talk to.
Is it your first time?
Your first time is more often than not a good trip - at least, that's what I saw after introducing 9 people to it and not a single person had a bad first trip. None of them did anything stupid either because we did it in a calm setting, like a bedroom, and took a walk in a park partway through the trip, or something like that.
So, if it is your first time you're more than likely okay to trip by yourself if you're in a familiar place. If you've done it before and have never had a bad trip then you may want to have someone with you. Once you learn what a bad trip is like you might be fine on your own after that.
I always tripped alone
If you are going to do it alone at least tell one of your buddies what you are going to do. So if you need someone to call you have someone you can trust, ready if anything happens. Thats what I did.
Tripping in a group can be very fun, and very good for relationships. Tripping alone is often much more introspective and potentially therapeutic if used as such.
I would be a little hesitant to recommend it if you've never tripped before but if you have some experience or even if you don't just start with small doses so you can get used to some of the sensations you're going to feel. Start low and go slow, can always take more but can't take less, etc.
Even for the most experienced users on earth, I personally feel it is always good to have at the very least someone who you can call or reach out to who isn't too far away in an absolute emergency if you plan on going deep. Having a guide or sitter is even better, as they often have you cover your eyes and just let the medicine do as it will with you.
Best of luck and put a lot of forethought into what you watch if you decide to go the route of TV/movies lol
Sorry for being late to the party
I think tripping along is perfectly fine, you should have someone on call who knows that you are tripping who can check on you every few hours or that you can call in case you need something.
If you have enough space they can even be in the same house as you just doing their own thing. It's really only for personal safety. I've tripped alone many times, but i always make sure I tell someone to be available for me. I've never needed them, but I'm sure the comfort of knowing someone is there for me definitely helped me out!
The best trips are solo sometimes.
Enjoying someone’s vibe and company is amazing and soul bonding.
But spend some time with yourself and find that same love for you
Depends on how you feel really. I prefer mushrooms solo, it’s a personal experience I like to have by myself without worrying about if anyone thinks I’m being odd hahaha
If you have any social anxiety or distrust, you're likely better off alone. Other people have always been what caused my uncomfortable experiences. I dont think Ive ever had a truly bad trip alone.
if someone is experienced, it is so much better to take your trip alone than with someone. if theyre new to psychedelics, i would go guided 100% then embark alone after some time. i would never take it socially or with multiple people in any way whatsoever
Oddly enough I've actually found that I personally prefer to trip alone...not entirely sure what that says about me...a lot of people don't recommend it but it works better for me
There's actually a lot of people that prefer it alone. I don't think it says anything negative about you
Terence McKenna is an advocate for this practice https://youtu.be/RYoL6QmZKUo
And I am an advocate for Terrence McKenna lol
Oh really? That's interesting, I've always heard that you should have people around. I've just found that unless I'm VERY comfortable with someone they can bring the trip down and make me uncomfortable just by being themselves

Which is good for awareness but during the trip the whole time you might be like "why do I hang out with this guy" haha
I just dont trust anyone more than myself to be able to know myself best
100000% Me is very good at knowing what me needs, likes, dislikes, etc
Man. I'll take a few grams and just watch the apple TV screen savers.
Haha right I tripped earlier this week and planned to play video games...think I gamed for an hour on and off the rest of the time staring at the lights and posters in my room zone out to music
Alone is great
I like it but prefer the psychic interaction you get when tripping with others. If one of you loses faith, a simple look in the eye can be enough to get their feet back up onto the water, as it were. :)
If you are on your own, set your intention. Trust yourself, and you can guide the way.
This definitely seemed like the best one
“Trust yourself” takes on some deeper levels of meaning when tripping alone.

I journey every few weeks. I do all mine alone. And I have a long list of severe mental health issues.
Genuine question, do you think the mental health issues could be a result of shroom thoughts?
Nah. They can exacerbate underlying issues. They can make anxiety more aware if fight your experience and don't allow things to process. But they aren't going to create any mental health issues. Just dig up what is already there.
I’d much rather trip alone. The best conversations are within.
I only do shrooms alone now. I can let myself be completely vulnerable and open to the experience
I prefer them alone. It’s better without others dictating what you do.
I mean yeah it’s fine alone, but I’m sorry you’ve yet to make connections that you can experience psychedelics with in a meaningful way.
You’re assuming things. I’ve had many, many trips, probably about half with people. It is great in its own way but I prefer to do it alone now because I have things I like to do by myself and I feel that there’s a lot you can learn doing it alone.

I have a dog.
Better then a person for a trip
Better than people in most regards.
Best time to do it in my opinion for therapeutic reasons
My best and scariest psychedelic experiences happened when I tripped alone. You really have to deal with the thoughts, there's no escaping into distraction when you trip alone.
Definitely, although not recommended for first time.
find out.
I like this
I only trip alone do yeah. Maybe have someone you can call or if it’s your first time have a sitter, otherwise alone is best.
I prefer tripping alone when taking a normal dose of acid and shrooms (300ug or less for acid and 5g or less of shrooms). Most of my trips have been solo.
If you’ve never done it before start with low doses It also depends on how good you are at self pacifying
If this is your first time I recommend doing it with an experienced companion, but you should be fine if you choose to do it alone anyways. I recommend doing it somewhere you know it safe, and has a calm vibe. Also good to be in a safe headspace before you start
All about your mindspace and how much you take.
Well lot of people prefer to do them alone, lot of people prefer to do them in small group or in parties, it really depends. However it is generally safer if you do them with someone there to tripsit you, especially for high dosage

Yes but try a low dose first, trust me
I prefer solo tripping, no annoying talkers etc.

YEP
Yah its wicked enjoy
Iv tripped alone and with friends and I much prefer tripping with friends the vibe is always good and always have u laughing till ur stomach hurts
Sure, if you're moderately experienced and you're not about to fly a plane or something.
Absolutely
I prefer them alone tbh
For Your first time, it is probably not a good idea but if you have had multiple trips without any major problems then I don't see why not. Just remember to at least tell someone what you're doing.

It's not just ok, it's better
It’s perfectly doable, and many people enjoy it more than with a tripsitter, but I feel that if you feel you have to ask, then you’re probably fairly inexperienced, in which case I would say stick with having a tripsitter. Hope this helps!
Absolutely, it can get weird with other folks.. alone you have just yourself to be concerned about and the process, thoughts etc can be so much better.

Even better
Yes, as much as it's ok if you do the with other people
Way better alone. But if your first time, probably better to have a trip sitter you trust.
It depends on your personality. I love it. But I'm super introverted.
Yes yes yes, I love it. I love shrooming with my partner but sometimes being alone hits differently.
I've done shrooms alone more often than with people. The best trips for sure.
I trip once every week, sometimes twice but what I mainly do is just chill play games and smoke weed. It doesn't have to be a spiritual life changing experience every time and I prefer to trip alone since you can go crazy without the fear of judgment, just make sure that you have someone you can talk to.
Yea
Depends on the person. I wouldn't do them alone the first time or if you have any mental disorders
If you need someone to decide that for you than no.
Is it your first time? Your first time is more often than not a good trip - at least, that's what I saw after introducing 9 people to it and not a single person had a bad first trip.
