The more I do psychedelic the more I feel that I want to do them alone.

At the moment I feel like I could renounce to all the fun trips with friends for a life of introspective work.

How do you feel about this?

Do whatever you feel is best.

Fun is awesome.

When spread in time, these two modes are not mutually exclusive. If you want to do them alone, do them alone.

Dmt for me is a solo career, darkness + dmt + me = job done.

Others like lsd and mushrooms etc can be both fun to share but self healing when alone.

I like solo as well as small group trips... I suppose it depends on what you intend to accomplish.

i love smoking low doses of dmt with people. It can be some of the most hilarious of bonding experiences

97.34% of the time though i trip alone. Changa is the only exception pretty much and its only rarely these days i smoke with others.

just do what you want and enjoy

Alone, all the way...no questions asked. Psychedelic masturbation can have devastating effects on the ego. Why break the ego's leg when you can kill it dead? ; ) And in response to the theme of this post..."Your questions are Your answers"

Dante I'm exactly the same, I started smoalkin with a couple of friends but now it just doesn't feel right unless I'm alone.

I will still go to see my friends and gift them with spice but I no longer partake in these sessions. I'm not sure what's changed I just feel much more free and feel I can completely surrender to the experience when I'm alone. All my best journeys have been lone voyages.

Darkness + DMT + me. This is spot on.

I always journey alone , on the rare occasion I do it with
Someone else I usually take the role of sitter. It feels natural .
Have no fear of doing it alone its cool

I've never really liked psychedilcs except on my own. I always smoke it alone on my couch with a blanket over me. Although often when DMT has been smoked you don't stay alone for long, lol.

Most of my experiences with psychedelics are with other people but I absolutely love being alone on them so I end up "going to pee" which consists of just taking a quick leak then hanging out by myself until others come looking for me.
solo is the way to go!

I have always done the exact same thing, its nice to know I'm not the only one who does this.

I prefer doing dmt alone, but its always nice to be able to tell someone what just happened when you get back! Aside from dmt, most of my psychedelic experiences have been with others. I would like to do mushrooms alone, and lately have been thinking a lot about trying ayahuasca for the first time, which I would also like to do alone. With dmt, I know that if I am having a difficult trip, it is usually over quick enough that there isnt enough time for me to be worried about doing something stupid while still under the influence. I have had some difficult and not so smart thoughts enter my head while on psychedelics, so I am a bit apprehensive to try anything that is long lasting alone.



That said-one of the best times I have ever had on a psychedelic was when me and my then roommate randomly decided to take some mushrooms at like 11 one night. We were about 22 at the time, and college students living in a house with 3 dogs, so needless to say our house was often pretty dirty. At one point in the trip, we wandered into a back room we rarely used/entered. It had cobwebs in almost every corner, huge piles of dust and dog hair everywhere, and random junk we didnt have a place for somewhere else tossed all over the floor. We walked in and looked around, and one of us just said, "man, we need to clean our house." For whatever reason, that set us off, and we laughed uncontrollably for probably close to thirty minutes until we were both crying at nothing more than the silliness of our dirty house. Nothing too spiritual or profound about it, but it was a great time and one of my best memories with that friend.

off topic but relating to the laughing thing.

I find this with mushrooms and acid, is the laughing and smiling. but mostly is this kind of red in the face and tears in the eyes, deep breathing and awe moments. laughing almost always brings tears. plus stiff muscles and stretching. Kind of a bit anoying at times but I guess its part of the trip (laughing part is ok!)

As for psy alone? i have always taken shrooms, acid and mesc with friends and had great times!!!
DMT was kind of late on the drugs list as I am getting older and do not trip with friends anymore,
so DMT alone is my only option. I think it is a very alone drug because of vocal and
noise distractions could throw you off from the trip.

Alone preferably, been doing it it the dark in my room. until last night i went up into the mountains and under the stars, hundreds of miles from anybody or any light source.

if you haven't tripped under the stars yet, you really need to experience that

Tripping with friends is great, but you have to be picky who you trip with! Someone might just be noisy, disrespectful or clueless, and that can really color an experience. Or somebody in the group might freak out (I've even been that freaking out guy, it's not something you can just turn off out of politeness).

On the other hand, having a sitter around for high doses of the long-lasting substances can be a good thing. I broke bones during a shroom trip-almost died. Sitter would have been good.

For spice, I go alone. I tend to squirm a lot, which makes me self conscious if there's company around; keeps the ego in the picture. I'm confident I won't throw myself down the air shaft while I'm in hyperspace.

I started DMT alone and still prefer it alone. I'll finish a friend's dose off for them, but won't ever do a full dose. Unless, I suppose, I could find someone as experienced with it as I am. That way I'm sure they fully understand hyperspace and all that it entails.

Any other psychedelics I'm totally down for it though. They offer a unique opportunity for bonding that I find invaluable.

my friend and i had a long chat about this last night at a gig. he was saying he feels the further i go into dmt and the shamanic path in general the more solo i am in my approach to life. he wasn't saying it in a negative way, but just saying that it can be a bit of a trade off when going down a shamanistic path. his words actually really rung true to my situation and have got me thinking about creating a little balance in my life between the people i love and my exploration of consciousness

sometimes i like to launch at the same time as a close mate so i can vent my experience afterwards. we have a strict rule of absolute silence while either of us is in hyperspace and this has always been respected - with exception to one incident where i smoked with somebody i didn't know as well, and i took a big hit and got shot right into hyperspace.. and they didn't understand the noise thing and were there clearing their throat and that brought me back to my thoughts in an unpleasant way

i prefer alone
