I'm going to be getting an eighth of mushrooms tonight at around 7PM. I have to wake up for work at 4AM for the next four days and don't even know when my next day off will be. I'm thinking of eating just a gram tonight no later than 8PM and going to bed at around 11PM.

If I do this will I be able to get to sleep or will the shrooms still keep me up?

Also, do the mushrooms make you sleep longer or make it harder to get up in the morning, or should I be fine waking up if taking a low dose?

Also, if I take half of a xanax bar will that enhance the trip or weaken it? Any opinions would be appreciated, I would just eat 2 grams and stay up all night but I don't want to still be under the influence when I get to work at 6AM the next day.
 
The Xanax will kill the trip and make it useless, especially at a low dose. Don't combine them.

Eating any mushrooms at 8PM will prevent you from sleeping until at least 1 or 2 AM if you're anything like me. YMMV.

Just sit on the mushrooms for a little while and wait until you've got an entire day to yourself, then eat them in the midafternoon and hang out all day listening to music and writing and meditating and that kind of thing. It's my favorite way to eat mushrooms. I think you'll find that it's worth the wait.

This , This and This! ^^^
Certainly don't spoil with the xanax man ... and do at least give yourself 6 hours ... at least I say! ... and yeh , even tho you would be keen to dive right in ... this could well be the greatest experience of your life so taking a day (or 2) out and doing it well is definatly worth it and worth the wait , Imvho. %)

Shrooms will most likely keep you awake and even when tired you may want to stay up anyway to enjoy the lingering effects :D

Unfortunatly I'm not sure what type of shrooms you have or what the dried dosage equivalent would be compared to our shrooms over here in Oz , I just usually have them straight outta the paddock myself but 1 gram doesn't sound like very much to me ... for the first time I wouldn't want to mess around with a low dose , I'm entirely of the view that one should have a decent dose with the shrooms first up , nothing too astronomical but at least a mid-range dose to fully appreciate and benefit from the experience. (it's quite safe , just breath =D) Coming onto it can be a bit intense and uncomfortable (some people love that part the best tho) but when you 'plateu' It can be utter euphoria , more pleasurable than description allows. :)
So don't overdo it ofc , but plz make sure not to underdo it ;) ... I'd wait a bit for a day off and ask a few more questions to get an idea of dosage of your shrooms (unless maybe you already have a good idea about it all , in which case no worries).

One last thing about that too ... if you take say just 1gram now and decide to do a bigger dose a few days later It will not work as well as it should , trust me. They are not something you can take regularly. Well you can but the effects are rapidly diminished each time ... always wait a few days at the very very least ... but many experienced shroomers I know and myself included would say anymore than about 2wice a month is overdoing it and rather wasteful of such a great drug and it's effects (that keeps for ages if dry ofc %)).

Well , whatever you decide ... I hope you have an excellent journey.

Cheers and Enjoy.
 
Thanks for all the helpful replies, especially from Umbo. I've decided to wait a bit and take them at a better time. The shrooms are dried, homegrown shrooms and are a bit dark. All of the people who have taken them have told me that 2 grams had them tripping for a good while and to not eat the whole eighth on my first time so I'm guessing they're strong.
 
Cool man , glad to be of assistance ofc :)
I do believe you've made a good decision , very worth it indeed.
I really hope it's a great experience for you ... I know it always is for me. %)

On a side note ... call me ignorant (or Aussie lol) but what is an eighth?
Or more precisely , an eighth of what measurement? ... I guess a ounce maybe? ... couldn't be a pound surely heheh , no worries.

Well anyway ... 2 grams sounds decent then ... ENjoy Enjoy ENjoy! =D
and be sure to report back and let us know how it went for you.

Cheers and Happy Travels! :D

Yep you guessed right.

quarter = quarter ounce
eighth = one-eighth of an ounce

Those are the most common amounts bought around here (Florida, USA) for personal use. I didn't know you guys had different measurement for drugs over there, or do you guys have the same measurement system but just different names or slang terms for certain amounts of goods?
 
^ oh ... sorry mate ... nah same measurements but probably a few different slang terms no doubt. Not too sure what I was on about lol ... I've been awake all night again so I musn't have been thinking straight. :) I kinda worked it out as I was typing it ... I think because I'm not used to having much dried shroomery around and I never buy them , i just don't picture such light weights for them even though I'm aware shrooms are over 80% water.

Also I sometimes get confused when people mention "a fifth" of vodka or something like that ... that's where Oz and the US differ I think , you guyz measure your fluids in Ounces it seems and we measure in Litres which is metric ;) ... but for most drugs , most of the time they are weighed in Lb's/Oz's/Gm's ... Sometimes larger amounts will be measured by the Kilogram (which is 1000gms ofc) depending on what and where and who. Even though we use Metric for most things nowadays ... Imperial Ounces and whatnot are still the main measurement for drugs , It's just easier that way no doubt.

Well , I feel a bit silly about that so thought I'd better clarify . heheh %) No worries.

Have a good one.
 
just eat the whole eighth, IMO. the only shrooms ive had, 2g was disappointingly mild but an eighth was just right.

actually, hard alcohol in the united states is measured in millilitres, but the most common size is 750ml which is not convenient to say. since a US gallon is 3.7L, the 750ml bottle is roughly one fifth of a gallon, hence the nickname.

the next smaller bottle is the 325ml bottle which gets called "tenth" or "pint", but a true pint is actually 473ml, so... yeah the nicknames really suck

and then of course there's the large jugs of hard alcohol, 1.5L which just get called "handles" because of their ease of carrying :)

1 dry gram could be enough depending on the shrooms of course, but id say 2 would be ok for your first time. Problem with shrooms is no one knows how strong they are until they are in your system. 2 grams is a fairly safe dose for first time imo. You must give your self more time though for a few reasons, depending on how you take them the come up time might be longer than you think. Also you may be sensitive to the shrooms and trip hard and long. Only way your gonna know is trying it. ;)
 
I think 2 grams is a good first dose of mushies, personally. 2.5 is the sweet spot in my opinion but 2 will do the job fine, and is great for a first-timer.

This is what I think too. I suspect the shrooms the op took were degraded or just not very potent. Ive never heard of anyone taking 4.5 their first time and not tripping their nuts off. (Unless the shrooms were crap.)
 
I would take the whole eighth. But are the shrooms hand picked from a field, or grown indoors? Are they cubensis or liberty caps? If psylocibin cubensis,( most common, white and orange cap with purple ring on stem) I would take all of them, but if they are a potent "enhanced" indoor grown brand, which if you are in a colder area prob are, an eighth may be too much. I say fuck it and risk it Oh, and you will in all likelihood still be fried at the three hour mark, shrooms last at least 6 hours and if they are any quality at all 7 up to ten or twelve. Do it on a day off
