If we can trip at mine or a friend's house that would be great, but Idk man, I feel like the hotel is our next safest bet. I think we'll be okay as long as we put a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, and aren't too noisy. And maybe this is me being naive, but I truly feel mentally ready to trip. We are going to take all the necessary precautions, and I'm doing it with people I feel truly comfortable with.

If you feel mentally ready, then you're ready.
The whole sh
it about "preparation" is mostly just a mental exercise. It's a process that certain people undertake in order to convince themselves that they're not going to freak out. It's usually the ones who worry about freaking out that actually freak out, so people that have that problem (or believe they would have that problem) help themselves by tricking themselves into not having that problem. It's really not as confusing as it sounds.
Although I do have to say, depending on what you imagine the intensity of the effects to be, you may or may not be surprised.
All you need to know is yes, it's supposed to be that intense.
Believe me, I've taken RIDICULOUS amounts of shrooms at once. I don't think it's possible to overdose. And I have never gone crazy.
There are only a few things you should take into account, regardless of whether you're "mentally prepared" or not.
1. Environment.
In a general sense, I mean; "where you're going to be tripping". But more applies to this. For one, yea, don't trip where you're going to be interrupted by sober people who look down on drug use. That's a party stopper. For two, trip somewhere where you're going to have something to do or look at or talk about. For three, trip with people you like and are comfortable with.
2. Introspection.
If you find yourself overly thinking about... yourself... stop. Don't be afraid of it, and certainly don't feel like this is a shark swimming near you at all times, but just get up as easy as you please and walk around and get more involved with what's going on. Be social. Take yourself out of the equation and just let yourself experience the trip WITH your friends. This shouldn't be hard at all during your first few trips, as everything will be new and catchy.
3. Have fun.
Smile. Be joyous. TAKE TURNS READING EACH OTHERS' MINDS!!!! Bring drawing paper and draw what you see when you close your eyes. Listen to music. BRING THINGS THAT GLOW IN THE DARK. Turn off lights and watch the tracers. Talk about things you wonder about. Watch a short cartoon on a small tv. Pee in toilet, and watch the color change... alone, and not with buddies. Unless that's your thing. WRITE THOUGHTS DOWN! They are amazingly hilarious and/or confusing to read when you're sober again.
Ultimately, just plan to have a fun experience. If you treat tripping like you're getting yourself ready for heart surgery, bad things are bound to happen. And don't believe 90 percent of the sh
it you hear about tripping until you've tripped yourself, because everyone's different.
GO HAVE FUN!
