I just scanned through the "Essential Readings" and it has answered all of my questions, except one:

>>How can I optimize the shroom's potential and maximize my body's reception to the them (if that confuses you it may be because it may be redundant).

>>What vitamins and supplements are good, and which are counter active, or, should not be used together.

The plan is weeks away so please do not feel you may be too late to offer advice.

Thanks BL
 
i'm not one who takes supplements, but i would heavily stress meditation in the coming days before your trip. i find the more i meditate and am able to release things that may be or were bothering me greatlky ruduces any feeling of discomfort or duress in my trips.

Yes. I strongly advise that you don't take the shrooms if you have any lingering stress or anxiety in your life. Idk other than that. I've never taken any supplements
 
yeah, I don't see a point in pre-loading when I take drugs (including mushrooms), but that's just me.

Let the fungus do its magic
 
Thanks for all the responses so far.

Shrooms have never given me anxiety - and to put it in the words of Bill Hicks, mushrooms "squeegee my third eye," which makes me feel incredibly free and expressive, not to mention friendly and patient.

Why don't I put out some word of mouth stuff stuff I have heard:

*Don't* drink milk while on or before shrooms - it kills the potential.
*Do* drink acidic type beverages like grapefruit or orange juice before or during - it enhances the potential.
 
Yes the drinking milk/grapefruit juice is just placebo.

To be honest a few years ago the urban myth was "drink orange juice to stop yourself tripping". Now it's "drink orange juice to make yourself trip more".
 
I don't understand how drinking orange juice (Vitamin C) wouldn't speed up your metabolism, and thus bring on the effects faster...
 
In terms of actually potentiating the mushrooms, an maoi, like the abovementioned caapi or rue, will increase the intensity of a mushroom trip. People tend to recommend taking half your normal dose of mushrooms if you take an maoi as well.

And the prevalence of the orange juice thing never ceases to irk me.

Recently, I can't decide whether to discourage or encourage people with stress or anxiety to trip. My most worthwhile trips are mostly the difficult ones, because I often end up dealing with the issues that are causing me problems.

I can understand if someone does not want to have a difficult trip depending on their individual circumstances, but it's not something I would avoid altogether.
 
MAOIs are the only thing I know of to work effectively. I have found that giving someone else some mushrooms for free will make me trip a lot harder, though.
 
That's because the mushrooms reward you for spreading the love.

Also growing your own mushrooms makes you trip hard & well.
 
Don't see how you can say it doesn't increase the potency.

I didn't say that it doesn't increase at all. I said it is more like a modulation of effects than straight potentiation.

Furthermore, the potentiation might be more obvious on smaller dosages. Myself, I've taken dosages of 5-7g cubes with 3-5g rue and the trip wasn't that much stronger than cubes only, but the trip was changed, it was more like a DMT trip than a mushroom trip.
 
Very interesting stuff here! So "Syrian rue or caapi, 15-30 minutes before eating the shrooms" will greatly *magnify or compound* with the effects, making it overall, greatly different than just eating the mushrooms?

".5g's of mushrooms + 200-300 mg of Rue is like an 1/8th" <<< really?? that would be a wallet saver for sure!

The "Rue" is legal, correct (which allows discussion about obtaining it?)? If so, do you think a conventional store would sell it, like kroger or wall mart? Or would I have to order it?

Thanks BL, SERENDIPITY TO ALL!! Friday, wooooohooooooooo
