First time doing shrooms!

Hey! So sometime this week I'm gonna be trying shrooms for my first time at my house. I'm buying an eighth of what I've been told is "really good shrooms" by a reliable source. Anyways, I've done a lot of research but I have some questions still.

1. What is the best way to consume them?
- I won't have time to dry them out. I've heard the tea works well but I've also heard that heat makes the shrooms not as strong?
-Or I'm thinking about making a peanut butter & shroom sandwhich :)

2: Best way to avoid getting nauseous?
- I've read that eating them on an empty stomach is the best but I've also read that having food in your stomach is better. Sooo...??

3: What to do if I do get nauseous?

4: How long does the full on "out of it" tripping last? How long until I will be able to be around parents?
-My dad gets home at 5pm and I need to be able to seem normal by then, or be okay enough to text him and say I'm going out. I just need to have a straight mind by then. I'm planning on taking the shrooms at 8am. Will this be okay?

5: Certain activities I should do?
-ex. going on a walk, listening to music, etc.

Sorry for all the questions but please answer them! Thanks in advance :)
 
1. Most people eat them. Tea does work well. Just search and you will find some good recipes for this. Personally, I think eating them with peanut butter might ruin peanut butter for you.
2. A little ginger works well for nausea.
3. Puke
4. The trip lasts 6-8 hours. I would give it that much time before trying to communicate with authority figures.
5. Any of the above. You'll find that once you start tripping, it's pretty easy to entertain yourself.
 
4. I've had shroom trips that lasted 4 hours with an abrupt come-down to feeling 100% normal (and sharp as hell!) and I've had shroom trips that lasted 6 hours with a 2 hour come-down period afterwards where I wasn't completely in my head yet. All depends on the type of shrooms (potency) and how your body reacts to them.

Question: Are you going to be doing these alone or with other people? Either way I hope you have an amazing time! The first time is always magical!
 
I've also heard that heat makes the shrooms not as strong?

Bit of an urban myth, yes heat will degrade the psilo content, but boiled water will not reach the temperature needed to bring psilo to it's melting (and degradation) point. So unless you're boiling them for hours you won't do any noticeable damage to the potency.

1) Depends on if you like the taste of mushrooms.

2) Ginger or an anti-emetic

3) Puke

4) depends on a number of factors. Best bet is to give yourself a minimum of 10 hours before having any responsibilities that you can't avoid.
 
Simmer don't boil, never boil just simmer. 3.5 grams will be enough for a first time. What not to do: get a plastic shopping bag full of fresh picked shrooms. Simmer for about 1 hour on low heat. Crush and strain the fungi solids from the broth. Collect the liquid concentrate and pour into cups. Consume several cups. Tear lino divider off the floor due to all the spiders crawling out of it. Destroy half the carpet and lino in the house your partying at because of the spiders. Have the occupants of the house call your parents as your 15 years old and fucked out of your mind on a massive dose of shrooms. Something I witnessed, I sensibly kept my dose to 2 cups and that was fucking intense enough, I was 17 at the time... there were no spiders.

We were stupid.

I never get nauseous on mushrooms, I don't mind the taste, cactus is way worse. Sometimes I grind them and melt chocolate and mix it in and make cookies. I put about 2 grams in each cookie. Otherwise just something to wash it down should be more than enough. I couldn't taste them at all when I put them on a submarine.
 
1. In my experience, tea is considerably stronger and does not last as long, which is desirable on your first time, if things start going wrong you want to be normal against as fast as possible.
2. Weed helps a lot with he come up (and some-what intensifies the experience). Eating less also increases shroom potency, so that should be your option anyway.
3. The nausea last no longer than 20-30 minutes, and will subside before you start tripping. You may vomit, but do not worry you are more or less poisoning your body with shrooms so its a natural re-action.
4. It depends on your body size and height etc, but you will usually trip for 3-4 hours on a decent dosage then you will start to come down and for the next 4-5 hours you will feel mentally exhausted, but that is hide-able.
5. Depends on how well you take the trip. Not sure how 1/8th will effect you as i do not know your height/weight/previous drug experience, but if you get a proper trip, entertainment will not be a problem.

Other notes:
Shrooms are the best possible drug imo, but please be careful and space out your trips if you continue with them.
I recommend going first time with friends, personally i have never tripped solo but once i am properly tripping i lose all desire to be around humans and wander off but if you freak out you may feel safer with humans, and if not you can run off and be alone with your thoughts (and what ever objects speak to you).
Up to level 4 on the psychedelic scale shrooms are one thing, but once you enter level 5 you should treat them as a different drug, and mental preparation is required.

I’m doing them alone, but I really think I’m mentally prepared. I’m very very happy, currently have NO worries, no mental problems. I’ll be in my house all alone for 11 hours. I have a very private backyard and a safe neighborhood I can walk around and a huge grass park 3 minutes away from my house. I’ll have my cat and dog that I’m very close to with me lol. And my bestfriend lives down the street from me and knows that I’ll be on shrooms and that if I call him he needs to come to my house right away. Sounds good right? Anything else I should know if I’ll be tripping alone?

I’m 5’5 and 125 pounds. I’ve done mdma a countless amount of times but havent done it in 3 weeks. I did oxycontin last week and vicodin last night. Will those effect my trip at all? I’m doing it tomorrow. I’m not gonna have weed with me for this trip cause I personally get way too high and paranoid when I smoke just a little and I want to experience just the shrooms.

PS. thanks for the replies they all helped alot! I’m definitely gonna do the tea method so it doesnt last that long.

ONE MORE QUESTION: Will I be okay to exercise the next day at 4pm? I have a soccer game haha. I used to always play soccer games the morning after rolling and IMO I played 100x better than I would without rolling the night before. Weird
 
I am no expert but i doubt any of them will have any effect on shrooms. You are around the same build as me and 80 caps in tea (not sure how that compares in weight or potency to what you are getting which is most likely cubensis) and that took me to some very strange places, but I am extremely thin and have a generally low tolerance to everything.

The world seemed 1mm thin and i could see down into space, shooting lights and elevators rocketed from under the ground into the sky, trees would grow faces out of leaves and whisper indistinctly, seconds seemed like minutes and i swore i could tear a hole in the sky and climb into heaven. The experience was so intense when the thought came to me that it was going to end i was almost in tears. Note this was at night, i have never had the chance to trip in daylight or indoors which should be a different experience entirely. I recommend the album Mir by Ott, that should keep your head in the right space.

if you have had problems with weed then you may want to be careful with psychedelics. To put it in proportion, shrooms are a physically harmless(ish) drug that is class A, solely due to the fact it will fuck you up.

You should feel fine after some decent sleep so dont worry about anything the next day.

I highly doubt you'll be playing that soccer game, you are probably gonna be very tired after your trip and you just might still look high.
 
happygal66; you've got 9 hours, so that should be an adequate amount of time to come back down to a point resembling normalcy. Yoyu sound like you've got things pretty much covered.

One question; how well do you think you'd handle an early reappearance of your dad without your friend/sitter being there to support you?. Just asking because I know how easy it is for events to run south.

I've never had a shroom trip last more than 5 hours.
Usually by 4 I'm getting close to baseline, and as above posters have said if you get nauseas don't be afraid to vomit.
It may feel uncomfortable, especially on psyches, but trust me you can enjoy your trip 800% more with that knot out of your stomach.
The nausea has never stayed past the come up for me anyways.
Tea is a good option if you normally have a sensitive stomach
 
Post a trip report afterwards letting us know how it went! I'm about to trip for the first time in a few weeks as well so it'd be nice to hear another virgin's experience
 
My question is this: When people buy shrooms... why? OP why did you buy them? I don't really bother these days but from an early age I was exposed to mushrooms and new what they looked like, stored them in freezer, dried them etc. They were free and grew during the right climatic conditions. I was out of the city... way the fuck out! In country side. Never except during trips to Holland have I bought shrooms. I lie I bought z strain off a friend who cultivated them once as I'd not tried it before and it was his first time growing that strain. Z strain has nice visuals BTW. Do most people buy mushrooms? Do many people on BL actually pick them?

I know it's popular to go pick shrooms in fields here in Australia and indeed many BL'ers in Australia/NZ do this but what about the rest of the world? During the off season/wrong climate I've known people to buy them since moving to the city as there was no alternative but many grow them or store the excess from "field trips" lol. Also the 4 ho's and 4 aco's are a fun alternative and much cheaper. Before someone goes on about natural vs chemical cultivated shrooms are very chemical like IMO especially stuff like z strain.

Note: Never weighed them nothing unusual to have ate like about 1/2 an ounce raw. I had a small freezer bag i filled that could hold about an ounce/28 grams of bean sprouts originally. Didn't think this was unusually high at the time. Now based on posts like the one below I assume I was abusing mushrooms then... at 14 years of age. Probably not a good thing. Also mushroom trips and jet travel don't mix well. Age really slows one down and makes one look at such acts and think WTF???? We as a small community were never aware of things like recommended doses of mushrooms but I can say from first hand experience they are quite safe even at probably stupid doses like 14 grams or more. Except you might lose your shit and do something stupid.

Fuck less than 2 grams 1st time for real??? Learn something new every day I guess.

You say you have 1/8 oz.. At the Shroomery theres the Great Mushrooms Poll where between 5000-10,000 users have answered a whole bunch of questions. When asked how much Cubies they would recommend a newbie to take, over half of 5300+ users said < 2 grams. Thats overwhelming real-world data, so I reccommend that you divide your 1/8 oz in 2 parts and use no more for yourself than half of it (1.75gr) Me I prefer the Stamets method of taking half your intended dose and then exactly an hour and a half later, if needed, taking the other half - so lets say two times 0.5-0.9gr.

Mushrooms? Just eat em. No need to worry about nausea, in most people normal amounts do not cause nausea. Best thing you can do about nausea is not worry about nausea :)
Eat em on an empty stomach, holding a glass of fruit juice to wash them down. and the taste from your mouth.

Make sure you have nothing left to do on the day of the trip and that you are in comfortable, safe surroundings. For most people that generally means tripping at home or staying over (and often sleeping over) at a friend's.
 
naw I had a good time and i feel 100% this morning after :) i actually felt like i could play a couple hours after I was done tripping, only had a slight headache
 
I think shrooms taste really good, reminiscent of potato chips.

The one time i puked before tripping was followd by the strongest trip of my life, so i cant comment on how it affects the potency. It was only a little but i think it was because i ate a small sandwich right before or after i ate the shrooms

I feel like just being somewhere comfortable is all you need, although outside seems to be nicer.

Another really enjoyable experience was on 2g sitting in a hottub and by a pool, altho i dont reccomend swimming on a high dose or first time.

And you may be allergic you never know, if you start to feel really sick you should probably puke and have some antihistamines available.
 
I always just eat them, I have made tea only a few times I haven't noticed a difference in potency. I wouldn't worry too much about nausea. If it does start too get a bit much I would usually just take some ginger or just wait it out.

if you do start to nausous I doubt it will last too long, I only get nausous on the come up. But It may affect you differently. Most of my shroom trips usually last around 6-8hours. But I will usually feel slightly "altered" untill I get a nights sleep. Not too the point were I acting differently in front of parents and friends, but a nice afterglow type feeling. Kinda hard for me to explain.

Hope your trip go's well !
