Me and some of my friends are gonna do shrooms for the first time. we are takin a hike up to a lake.

any first time advice?

Edit: OK so me and my 2 friends purchased THREE half eighths (for 50$, if it matters). I am no expert but I noticed they were nothin like I've seen before, but the people we got them from, well let's just say it ain't their first rodeo, and they told me that the shrooms were legit and that they would make us fry. So me and my friends didn't have a scale, but we eyeballed, as best we could, out the three half eighths and we chowed em down.

Now I'm not sayin they didn't work. We all felt body high and slight noodle-y arms and limbs and what not, but that was pretty much the peak of the trip. No visuals, No extreme giggling, No super enhanced/ vibrant colors. Nothin. And these shrooms were legit, I knew 2 long time fryers who took a half eight as well and they fried hard they said.

So I dunno, all I'm pretty much asking is why didn't we really see the ultimate effects? Are there any possible contributing factors that could have affected the potency on us?

Note: This was MY and 1 of my friends' first time, the other guy has tried them once before.

BTW I do have a picture of these mushrooms, but I dunno how to post a pic on here.

go for around 2g dried, not too much, maybe eat them like tea to reduce nausea.
take some music (but bare in mind they are not party drugs), have some snaks and drink at hand (it can get hard to procure them while under the influence)
may i suggest duing them around sunset? that way you get to trip a little with daylight and then with nightfall and stars.. might be really sweet

go in with a positive attitude!
 
eh. i ate 2g for my 1st trip adn was real underwhelmed or whaeva. id go with an eighth but thats me.
 
if the mushies are relatively new (not been in storage for months) and are of high quality/potency and dried, then 2g will be enough for a first time, especially if the people involved have no previous standard to which to compare the experience.

better to underdose then overdose and risk a bad trip. also i find the mood contagious, so if one is having a bad trip it can influence the rest....
 
I took two grams my first trip and I was transported.

After an hour of trying to hang out with my friend I left and when I was driving home, the street I was driving through with the light posts and trees--wow, I felt like I was driving through the enchanted forest.

I say buy an eighth, take 2 grams of it, and if you wanna go harder pop the rest.
 
i had a half 8th my first time and it was awesome.
hiking around the forest might be fun; i was walking around town with my friend for like 3 hours when i took shrooms, not even far just around the block over and over haha but everything looked different each time. but yeah i had a lot of energy, not like ADD type energy but i wasnt feeling tired despite the fact that we were walking a lot and it was really hot out. i didnt even notice the heat until we finally went inside and i realized i was drenched in sweat.

oh also, eat them plain and wash them down with lemon juice. i just made some lemonade type stuff with water and lemon juice and maybe a little bit of sugar, and i was drinking that the whole trip.

try not to eat much that day either, eat some food, like cereal or something, but dont eat a huge meal
 
they were just weak. Ive eaten an 8th of shrooms that was weaker than a particular 1 gram i ate of another. Blacked out on the peak on the 1 gram.
 
Please someone give me somethin that will satisfy my thirst for knowledge as to why i didn"t fry

It happens, mushrooms vary in potency. Next time, buy each of yourselves a full eighth and eat 2.5-3.5 grams each depending on how brave you are. If you all decide to just eat 2.5 grams, that would leave 3g left over for another friend you could invite, or you could each take the last gram an hour later. Redosing too much after that point is a waste of good fungus, though.
 
eh now. ive had shrooms with red caps. not spotted (and definately not aminitas) but a lot of the shrooms round here have orangish/brownish/redish caps.
 
Run away from the shrooms. Worst trips ever.
There are like around 200+ different types of shrooms out there. Everyone is different and there are different dosages, environments, mixtures (with other drugs), ... everything.

I wouldn't recommend suggesting to stay away or pushing others to try it. Just explain the potential through erowid or something along those lines.

I've tripped so hard off of shrooms I couldn't walk while a friend of mine on the same dosage and same batch didn't feel much of anything. There is a very large YMMV when it comes to them. Everyone is different..


Personally, I love to eat stuff when on them but everyone around me thinks I'm crazy for it. =D to each is their own.

I have good friends who told me once that when trying shrooms you're unfamiliar with, judge their strength one hour in, and then eat more based off of that. I can't vouch for that personally, but in the future you might want to try buying extra and then taking more if the effect is to mellow. *shrugs*

There's also something everyone ignores about Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric). If that's what they got (what other shrooms look like nothing else you've seen before?) then there are proper preparation methods for the chemical process that creates the powerful psychedelic chemical in Fly Agaric (it doesn't contain psilocybin or psilocin but rather muscimol and ibotenic acid, which also sets them apart from all other shrooms) that require them to be heated or simmered at 175-190 degrees (F).

That is why Fly Agaric isn't sold as a street shroom. It is also legal and caps are available to order online.
 
Well there's almost 200 different types of psilocybin mushrooms and they can vary greatly in how they appear. Most are the typical psilocybe cubensis kind but there's obviously almost 200 other kinds that don't look anything like them.

If they gave you effects, but the effects were just weak, then the shrooms were just weak.
