Yeah, the one and only time doing Salvia left me with harsh flashbacks for over a decade. But the dissociation was real. I didn't even know my own name, or what a name even meant. Wouldn't suggest a solo trip for that at all.

I think anyone who took the quote seriously needs to attend The Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

God?

I've logged over 250 trips with various plant medicines and lab created psychedelics over my lifetime.

Started off as an avid microdoser and then one day took way too much of an unknown paper containing LSD-25. Then I became a macrodoser and never looked back.

I'm always a big fan of overdosing in terms of having enough of the chemical to shortcircuit the brain and allow the ego to dissolve, if only for a few hours. I very much appreciate Terence McKenna's attitude to take 5g of mushrooms in complete darkness and silence. Also the native Americans would take a large does of Peyote and venture off into the wilderness solo.

Now it's not always sugar and spice when it comes to dropping in at heroic doses, but I truly believe we are always being taken care of. I never trip with anyone else, in many years. Because someone would call 911 if they saw some of the shit I go through on an average trip. Lol.

The most prevalent trend is to have a trip sitter. However, it feels more personal to trip alone and let the universe show you what it will. What are your thoughts about solo journeys?

Thanks for the very thoughtful reply. To digress, it was on a heavy trip that things were very challenging and I confronted my fear of death and suddenly poof, all gone. But up to that point the fear was visceral.

Regardless, I think what you mentioned below is very good safety advice, I think familiarizing oneself with whatever they're taking and dosing lightly for a few times first until they're ready to take a deeper dive is the best practice.
