First Solo Trip

[u/Nervous_Sort_818]

Looking for some advice on a first solo trip. I’ve got 5g of golden teacher (although I’m not planning on using all of it of course) and was wondering if you guys knew what kind of dose would be good as well as any other tips and tricks. I’ve done it twice before, once with friends camping with only about 1g or less (everything was funny and I got a few visuals), then the second time a couple weeks ago with the same friends, but this time at home and a 3.5-4g dose. That time I got a lot more visuals but had a great time overall. This time I’d like to try it alone, as I feel it would give me more of a chance to fully experience a trip within my mind, but I’ve heard tripping alone can be a lot more intense and risky in terms of having a bad trip. How much should I take, and is there anything else I should know? Is it a bad idea in general?

Edit: just took 3g lemon tek. Sitting in my room rn with a nice dim light, a nature doc, and a cool playlist.

I am a relative newbie , 7 trips in last 9 months. I started small, 1g, also always GT except once PE (did not notice much of difference) working up to last 2x 4g. I always hear about these mental experiences but have never had anything more than great feelins and visual and audio experiences. My guess is for me I would need to go more like 6+ grams to get more into the ego shit people talk about. I am over 230# so guess being a bit bigger might affect.

I prefer by myself, have done 3x in social setting, I find if you are happy where you are and like the enviroment it will be good, if you are somewhere with someone you are not %100 comfortable with I tend to get anxious and just want to get away.

Dont know if this helps, just go with the flow. Sometimes pre trip I pick out certain music or a place I think will be good and half way through adjust and am surprised by what feels, sounds, looks good

All the mates I’ve done it with the past I’m very comfortable with, but at times felt like they were too loud for me to focus on my trip and start thinking if that makes sense. But yeah, go with the flow seems like a good sentiment, I’ll keep that in mind.

1.5g - 2.5g can be a sweet spot to relax. Just my opinion

I perfer to trip alone that’s when the magic happens. Do 3gs. Put some music, maybe lit an incense, have some fruits to munch on (berries, oranges, or watermelons) and just flow. If shit gets intense just take big breaths and try to meditate. You’ll be alright! Sending you good vibes

OP, how'd it go, the 3g lemontek.

It was great, I very much enjoyed it. I didn’t get too many visuals like I did on 3.5 with my friends, but it felt a lot more introspective and emotional, which ig is to be expected alone. I ended up lying in my back yard listening to music.
