I'm going to be trying shrooms for the first time. There are lots of sources online that give dosage charts and give importance to having a good environment and the like, but I feel they're incomplete because it's not easy to predict what the experience is going to contain.There's also suggestions that I should have a tripsitter with me, but I fear that having someone else present it might poison the experience.For those experienced in magic mushrooms or psychadelics in general, what would you suggest for someone who wants to trip alone? What were your experiences, good or bad, like? What about these trips would you attribute towards good or bad preparation?

>>34727992Shrooms are frustratingly unpredictable. Even the same variety of mushroom can very enormously in potency depending on how it was grown; a new batch may be much stronger or weaker than an old batch. So, with a new or unknown source, it's often a good idea to start with a low dose just till you assess how strong they are. (If they seem weak, DON'T take more to boost the effect; wait two weeks and then try again).In general, shrooms tend to massively intensify whatever it is you're feeling anyway. So it's very important to choose your environment in such a way as to make you feel completely comfortable and happy before you start: if you're feeling sad, or if you're cold, or something like that, it will likely trigger a bad trip. I recommend listening to music while tripping: set up a playlist beforehand, and just relax and listen to it and let the music take you places. Also, have something to eat easily to hand. Tastes may be more intense when you're high; I like things like mini cheddars and salt and vinegar flavour crisps (potato chips); fruit is good too.Having colourful things to look at can be nice too. Try watching Disney's "Fantasia"!>what would you suggest for someone who wants to trip alone?Don't. You need a trip sitter.
>>34727992Oh, and Google for "lemon tek".
>>34727992Just don't take the shrooms while near potentially deadly things like traffic or something.
>>34727992I'm an experienced solo usersometimes they kick your ass, sometimes you feel like godmost trips contain a bit of both feelingsbest trips are outdoors, make sure you'll encounter few to no people at allI recommend a quiet beach or forest, daytime2.5 to 3g dried
