Someone told me while you're on them, you can't sleep because your brain will hemorrhage and you'll die. Is that true?

And also is there any way to come down if you're having a bad trip?
 
No that isn't true.

It is very hard to instantly make yourself comedown. Remember that most of the time a bad trip on mushrooms is caused by being able to examine your psyche without an ego, so if you aren't a very nice person in day to day life, be prepared to think that.
 
You beat me to the punch, Freehugs, but I'll concur -- it isn't true!

On the topic of aborting a bad trip, I'll say that it's best to ride it out. If killing the trip is absolutely necessary, an anti-psychotic (not recommended) or strong benzo can help.
 
It is true that you cannot sleep on psilocybin. However, what your friend told you is incorrect. The reason you cannot sleep is because of the increase in energy that shrooms give you. Only once have I slept on shrooms and it was because I ingested a large dose. Also, I have heard that milk can calm down a trip but not fully block it out.
 
i had a beautiful trip 2 days ago on 4.5 grams 1day old wet cyans. i could have fallen asleep at anytime during that wonderful trip. every yawn would send vibrations down my body and shit. anyways i dont think its dangerous to sleep on shrooms.

Keep the dose reasonable, as you're a first-timer -- two grams should be quite sufficient if the strain is good and properly dried. Do not ingest the mushrooms until at least three hours after your last meal. Take a multivitamin and some extra C with that meal. Have some drinking water around. Enjoy. You should come back here after your experience and tell us about it!
 
Sending positive vibes your way :):)

Go for a nice medium sized dose. Don't go too heavy as it will overwhelm you, but don't go too light as you won't get the proper experience and it may just make you anxious...
But also don't worry too much about my advice, so long as your not being silly you YOURSELF will know how much to take!
 
Once took some super strong shrooms. In my bag was only 2 mushrooms that weighed out to just over 3.5g, took one waited for over an hour. Didn't feel anything (because I ate some food before hand) decided to eat the other one. Big mistake there, should have listened to my buddy. Ended up getting so high I literally couldn't do anything. People would ask me to get something, I would just look at them and try to get whatever it was they asked but I couldn't figure out how or what to do. But it was still a blast and wasn't scary at all.

Plus the giggles you get sometimes is so awesome, I just look at people and smile then burst out laughing.

False...find the person that told you that and punch them in the dick/tits!

A benzodiazepine such as diazepam, alprazolam, or temazepam will help bring you down.

kingme makes a fair point.

Play safe and have fun.
 
I've slept on shrooms and never died. Whoever told you that is just spreading fear-mongering rumors.

However be careful and don't overestimate how much you think you can handle. My first time with shrooms I dosed 5g of Subbs and regretted it. Ended up in the fetal position crying and took Seroquel after about 3 hours to kill the trip and sleep. It taught me to respect the mushroom.

Better off to start low and work your way up over time than to think you can take a hero dose and be put of shrooms forever.
 
Some people will take a low dose of Valium, Xanax, Ativan, or another benzo to come down or abort a bad trip.

I don't have experience with benzos recreationally.

I'd just take 1.5-2.0g dried. In the past when I was into drugs I had a ++++ experience from 2.0g dried. YMMV.

I hope you know the basics like don't drive, listen to music that you enjoy, go out in nature, and explore your mind and reality.

Have fun! :)

You can manually abort a trip with a sedative or you can just hum a song from your childhood, hum and low pitched steady mantra, or play a musical instrument. Coming down from a bad trip is just a matter of grounding yourself and making music or sound is the most plausible method.

Also, I would never recommend less than 3.5g (1/8th) of cubensis mushrooms or 2-3 hits of LSD for their first trip. There's no point in taking a less than breakthrough experience dose, because you'll just feel weird and uncomfortable. There's often a nice medium I find with psychedelics. Too little can be just as unpleasant as too much, if not even more unpleasant. It's strange but true. I'd rather lose touch with reality and actually trip on a hard plateau than feel like im coming up and coming down for hours.
