Yes, you’re right I regretted NOT having a sitter present. I can understand that sitters can be an uncomfortable presence when all is well and I wouldn’t say you always need them there, but specifically when it’s peoples first time taking psychedlics I think it can be a wise precaution to take. Surely, most of the time everything will be fine, but it’s a safeguard for the occasion that it’s not ok. I think the sitter should probably bring a book or something and do his own thing, as you’re not on the same level you should probably not intervene in any way when it’s not needed.

When that person literally tells you to go away and not bother them while they make a bad trip for themself, how could I violate that. I agree, I guess I would just respect that. Go with the flow, if one does not want help, pushing help onto them is probably not the least bit helpfull.
