The Big & Dandy Psilocybin Mushrooms Thread

if you are worried about it, i wouldn't do it. wait until you are fully prepared and comfortable with attempting your first trip.

that said, i was fairly worried the first time as well, all you have to remember is that it is a drug and nothing physically can happen to you. and same goes for the mental side, trip with people you know and trust within a setting which is comfortable with you and nothing can go wrong.

make sure you have plenty of activities to partake in or you'll find that you may think too much about things, which usually leads to negative thoughts.

i find that the most difficult part of the trip is usually the comedown...when you slowly come back to reality; while you are peaking you are too busy focusing on the visual and auditory stimulus and usually neglect inner thoughts.
 
Actually, after talking to my sister and friend about it(both pretty experienced), I'm a lot less nervous. I've read a lot of trip reports and some scary things, but they were all on much higher doses than I intend to take.

So I'm thinking 1 gram(small, 110 pound girl) will produce a good trip with visuals and stuff, but within my control. Sound about right? Also, I don't know what kind I'm getting. Is one kind more potent than another?
Is throwing up after eating mushrooms very common? I have the options of ginger and promethasine to stop this from happening. Which one would be best? Or both? Anything else that will help me not throw up?

Also, would it be possible to take like 1/2 gram-1 gram at first and see how sensitive I am to it? And then if it's not enough, I could eat a little more? say another 1/2 a gram?

Also, I planned to trip in my dad's house since he's out of town. I've had some rather bad experiences in this house. In fact, pretty traumatic ones. But I'm still comfortable there because it's where I grew up. Do you think the fact that I've had pretty bad experiences there will effect whether I have a good or bad trip?

Would it be a good idea to smoke a bowl right after eating them to help with the nausea and anxiety? Or would that make it too intense or something?

My favorite way to do mushrooms is:

Crunch them up into tiny tiny pieces (almost powder) mix with lime juice.
about 30 minutes after the come up. smoke a freebase maoi such as harmaline freebase or thh (tetrahydroharmaline). re-dose every 2-4 hours as needed. smoked maoi's don't last as long but are much more intense.

smoking the MAOI freebase is way more intense than eating the extract or freebase before you eat your mushrooms. i wait until after and smoke the maoi.

btw my normal dose is 5-7g+ dried mushies.

never had fresh mushrooms.



SMOKE WEED the entire time = no nasuea and more psychedelic trip.


and START with an eighth, first time. anything below that just won't cut it for me. then again i'm a psychonaut and i like my balls to be falling off from tripping.

"So I'm thinking 1 gram(small, 110 pound girl) will produce a good trip with visuals and stuff,"
i highly doubt any visuals. i suggest either trip good and hard or stop being a pussy because obviously psychedelics aren't for you if you wanna just eat 1 gram.

Okay, fine. I want to do it, and I want to do it right. I'm just asking questions. That's why I'm on this forum.

What's a good dosage then? I want like a medium trip. Visuals and all that good stuff, but I don't want it to overwhelm me. I sort of what to know who I am and that I took drugs. =/

I'm not trying to be a pussy. I'm just being careful. I've never tripped on anything before.
 
Your idea to start w/ 1/2 to 1 gram was a solid idea.You can always trip again with a higher amount if it turns out to be something you are interested in and want to have a deeper experience. Don't feel a need to do larger amounts because you are being egged on by others- this is your experience, not theirs. You need to feel comfortable with what you are doing, and having never experienced a psychedelic hallucinogen before you should take things cautiously at first, at least IMO.
 
Well, I've read a lot of trip reports involving guys heavier than me having a really nice, controlled trip on 1.5 grams. So I've decided. I'm going to start with 1 gram. I just have this feeling I'm going to be sensitive to psilocybin.

If I'm not as sensitive as I'm assuming, I'll just have another half a gram. I want an easy trip. You can call me a pussy, but I want to stay slightly grounded in reality. I at least want to remember I took shrooms. I have a history of panic attacks. I don't want one of those just because I forgot I took a drug.

I'm feeling really ready, though. I buckled down and read more trip reports I can count that were positive and based on a similar dosage to the one I want, and I'm feeling pretty comfortable.

Unfortunately, I don't have an accurate scale, I don't think. It at least doesn't measure decimals. I'm not even sure if it's off or not. How many stems and caps = 1 gram and 1/2 a gram?
 
Shrooms come in all different sizes. It's impossible to say how many stems/caps equal a specific weight without knowing if they are wet or dried, how large they are, how dense they are, and other variables.
 
Okay, ill just borrow my sisters scale.

I still need to know something else, though. I want to trip in my dads house since he's out of town. Its where I grew up, so it has a lot of good memories. But I've had some pretty traumatic events happen there as well. Do you think its a bad idea to trip there, in case I revisit those bad memories? I know set abd setting are the two most important things.

Also, will and empty or full stomach prevent nausea?
 
Empty stomach is best. Eat some fruits/vegetables 3-4 hours before the trip. Ginger/marijuana can both go a long way in preventing nausea as well (not as much as a healthy lifestyle though).

There's no definite answer to your other question. Mushrooms aren't like MDMA where you just feel GOOD, they enhance the feelings that are already present in your brain. If you get bad feelings at the place you're planning to trip, these bad feelings could become greatly enhanced.

Moreover, mushrooms are well known for bringing repressed memories to life, almost as if you're watching an old movie on your eyelids made solely of your life experiences. If these memories are negative, well, you see where I'm going.

I'd also like to suggest you try out the lemon tek. I swear by this method, as it eliminates most of the anxiety/paranoia and other bad side effects associated with the fungus.
 
What's the lemon tek?

1.) grind dry mushrooms to powder (coffee grinder/mortar & pestle)
2.) put powder in shot glass
3.) cover with lemon juice (citric acid is the key, so lemon juice is best)
4.) mix powder every 5 minutes for 30 minutes
5.) OPTIONAL: top with apricot nectarine FRS energy drink (fucking godly flavor)
6.) take shot

the citric acid breaks down the psilocybin into psilocin (this is usually what your stomach must do, and why the effects take a while to come on) so your body does much less work and the active alkaloids are delivered straight to your dome in one heap
 
Hmm. So citric acid reduces the bad side effects? Interesting. I think ill try that. And maybe ill add some ginger root. Sounds like it will taste horrible, but it'll be worth it.

It doesn't really taste bad at all, compared to eating them. Plus it's a shot, so it's over and done with quickly.

It's not really the acid that reduces the bad side effects, it's just that you're doing a lot of your bodies work for it before you ever eat the mushrooms. Bad side effects are caused in part because the mushrooms are just so hard for your body to digest. This method greatly helps that.
 
I ended up having 1.5 grams. It all went very smoothly. I didn't have a single paranoid or anxious thought, and I really enjoyed it.

Thanks for all your advice, guys.

Has anyone from ADD confirmed this? I thought the consensus on why the lemon tek is effective is because psilocin/psilocybin will come on more quickly if dissolved in a solution?

The psilocybin doesn't really have anything to do with it. Normally, when you just eat mushrooms straight up, it takes time for your stomach to break down the mushroom material, metabolize psilocybin into psilocin, and then send the psilocin to your lovely 5-ht receptors to enable the tripitization.

With the lemon tek, the acid in the juice breaks down all the psilocybin into psilocin before it ever enters your body, saving time/work for your body and delivering all the active alkaloids in one heap (as opposed to a more drawn out trip...not really desirable with mushies)

I don't need no ADD ho's to confirm it. Lol jk, I love you guys :D

I haven't smoked weed in a few days and I'm feeling a little different so hopefully my typing skills haven't been too heavily affected :p

This sounds more plausible, seeing as highly diluted lemon juice is going to do very little to stomach pH
 
I guess my question is whether or not citric acid is a strong enough acid to beak down psilocybin into psilocin? because I'm fairly certain stomach acid is mostly HCL with a pH of 1-2.

It absolutely is. I've tried the lemon tek myself. When you let it soak in the lemon juice for about 30 minutes, the mushroom peak hits in about 1.5 hours. It's all like 8o<3
