Do you find the taste of shrooms disgusting (enough to take measures - which? ) ?

Just a note about making tea - psilocybin is apparently destroyed by heat, so I always use water that is just under boiling. I let the shrooms sit in the water for 10 minutes, then strain them and repeat. Then I have twice the amount of water to drink. Finally, I squeeze the shrooms out into the water, to capture any goodies that are still stuck in the shrooms themselves (little sponges).
The come-up is fast and strong - Roller coaster-like - be prepared!
But I find little intestinal discomfort with this method.
 
i loved the earthy taste of mushrooms ever since they first encountered my taste buds
 
Tasted like dirt to me. But I didn't mind, I was in nature amongst trees! So the taste was just the same as my environment :) magical trip hahaha.
 
Either grind them up and put them in gelcaps/swirl around in small amount of fluid and swallow/make tea, or just quickly munch down and swallow the things. Don't torture yourself chewing on that shit like its fruity bubblegum man, I mean come on... that crap tastes like licking a basement floor. Don't do that to yourself for some minor amount of extra effect, or worse, a quick come up... while you are chewing on something that tastes like distilled mildew.

Pharmalogically no, but the rate of absorption will change. Chewing will grind them up into smaller pieces, which means more surface area, which means quicker extraction of goodies.

I find the taste of mushrooms sets something off in me and the taste alone gives me anxiety and starts me on the path of an anxious trip. Drinking a tea is the worst method for me. I get the full taste and it starts hitting before I'm even done the tea; too damn fast.

My all time favorite method: Grind up the mushrooms in a coffee grinder, put the powder in toilet paper squares, parachute as usual. Perfect onset/come-up time and no taste. :)

Even better, get some paracetamol (APAP) capsules, empty out the paracetamol and refill with powdered mushrooms, only need to swallow a few, easy to swallow, capsules
 
just brew a tea!!! the effects are way better...no nausea whatsoever...much cleaner and clearer....def the way to go
 
^Mushroom alkaloids are pretty heat sensative and many people(myself included) dont like to take any chances.
 
is smoking shroom really go blind? i'm thinking of mixing it with weed since eating usually feels pretty weak for me :p
 
What? No, you won't go blind from smoking shrooms, but you won't get any effects either.
 
^ yea psilocybin is pretty much unsmokeable as far as i know. Ive had my most intense and psychedelic experiences with shrooms at doses lower doses than the largest doses i have taken. As a few other people have said set and setting play a huge role in the significance and power of the trip.
 
LSD/Shroom doseages, other noob questions

I have a friend who said he ate some Shrooms before and never tripped. I have another friend who said the same things about her first (lack of an) experience with LSD.

With this- I have a few questions, and I'd greatly appreciate your answers! :)

1- I have to assume it's the case that both of my friends took under the threshold amounts and thus never felt anything? He took what his friend gave him, she had one sugar cube. Is it likely he didn't eat enough shrooms and she didn't have alot of LSD on the sugar cube?

2- For both shrooms and LSD, is body weight a factor? He's a 260lb guy, she's a 110lb girl. Would shrooms be more weight dependent due to them being eaten as opposed to absorbed, as in the case with acid?

3- I've found with ecstasy that after a certain point, there's no point in taking any more- it's just a waste (due to serotonin being spent). Is acid the same way? In other words, If i took a tab, then took another an hour later, then took another like 6 hours later, I have to assume that the third tab would bring me back up a little bit, but not to the same level as i was at with the first two, correct?

4- With regard to the previous question, how do you guys go about taking your high doses? Do you take them all within that first 1-4 hour coming up/peaking time?

Thanks for the help with all this!
 
only had shrooms but iv taken shrooms a few times with almost zero effect
then a week later taken same dose and been nicely fucked

and im 99% sure body weight is a factor
 
I'll break this down by substance.

Acid

1 Probably.. it also may have been a bunk sugar cube... there is no telling, really

2 I honestly don't find body weight to be a big factor with acid... probably because most people absorb it sublingually...

3 With acid, your timeline would be different.. but generally, more doses later will only really extend your peak unless you take 3-4x the original amount, then it will increase it still a bit.

4 Acid you pretty much have to take your entire dose initially... redosing is generally a waste.

Shrooms

1 More than likely

2 Yes, to an extent. I think there is another underlying cause than body-weight. I have a friend smaller than me who will take up to 7g of shrooms, while I usually only take ~2.2-3g

3 Once again.. I think this is a case of longer duration, not increased effects, although I have not tried redosing personally with shrooms.

4 Shrooms are the same... you generally take your entire dose at once... some people may take more one hour after dosing if they don't feel they are going to go far out enough.

In retrospect, this was a shitty format to answer your questions in... but alas, it has been written... and therefore here it is.

Cheers!
