Anyone Else Feel The Same Way About Shrooms?

Out of my 7 experiences with magic mushrooms, I've tried many different methods of dosing. I've found that I always have the best trip of my life if I split up the dose I'm going to takes into 2 doses, spread out by an hour or 2. I generally take an eighth (3.5 g), so I usually start out with somewhere around 2 g and take the rest an hour or 2 in. Whenever I tried taking a full eighth at the start, I would always end up feeling too nauseous or out of it to fully enjoy the trip. But when I space out my dose the way I just described, it's never too overwhelming, and the nausea is easy to handle... plus I feel like I trip longer
 
glad that you found a method that works for you. i think many people on the board here might go the other way-- i know the 'tea' method is highly regarded as a great way to get the hardest punch out of a small amount of mushrooms.

Personally i don't know if i'd enjoy redosing in a shroom experience. I enjoy the timeline of peak and plateau for normal 1-dose consumption, so i've never had a chance to try 'extending the trip' with a booster later on.
 
in my experience, the best way is to take one big dose to begin with. this is because you get a kind of immediate tolerance to the shroom juice which makes redosing wasteful.
 
I always take the full dose in one go. I do like getting hit full force by those fungis. No mercy . :)
 
Making tea's give me the strongest trip also. There is hardly any waiting for the come up either, I find after 20-30 mins im really starting to trip.
 
I would think all that ice cream is slowing/reducing absorption/effect.

I always just grind them to a fine powder in a coffee grinder, the either put small spoonfuls on the back of my tongue and guzzle down with something very strong and sweet like orange or pineapple juice.

Or sometimes I've put the powder in an empty vitamin or drink bottle, add some juice, shake really hard, drink, repeat till bottle is clean.

Both quick-n-easy. And I think the powdering probably gives you max bang-for-the-buck, plus totally eliminates nausea, as larger pieces are pretty tough to digest and can lead to tummy objections... but the powder just zooms right thru the stomach into intestines for very quick up-take.
 
Tryptamines don't need fats to absorb, and ANY kind of digestible calories, especially an entire pint of fats and protein (that's alot really), will slow emptying of stomach into intestines, as the stomach "knows" what's in it and waits for digestive processes to do their thing before passing contents along... carbohydrate-only juice goes thru alot faster I'm sure and probably gives a somewhat stronger effect. Pineapple juice is excellent, somewhat thicker to hold powdered shrooms in a good emulsion, and such and overpoweringly sweet/tart taste that covers just about everything else.
 
I like to make tea. It reduces the digestive problems, and it comes on quicker.

A friend always ate her shrooms slowly, nibbling on them for 45 minutes or so before she was finished with her dose. She said she was "welcoming the mushroom spirit into (her) body". I tried it once, and it was easier to handle than making tea, since it came on so slowly.

I also find that re-dosing doesn't work at all. I wonder if the OP might be enjoying slightly more mellow trips, and that is why eating 2 grams first works best - because s/he is actually tripping on 2 grams, more or less. Personally, I find that I can go anywhere (=as far as I want to) with 2 grams, since I have a lot of experience and know how to encourage my trip. Set and setting, after all.

Yes, definitely tea is the way forward and upward, no gripey guts, 30-40mins to come up and really funny trying to make more tea later for a redose and they're all wriggling around in the teapot like eels!....i find redosing to be fairly effective if you add a few more fresh ones in the mix :D
 
After you eat so many pounds of dried psilocybe cubensis, you start to need alternative routes of administration. I moved on to brewing mushroom teas and coffees, then to powdering, dumping on my tongue and chasing with orange juice.

I've recently discovered fresh cubensis taste delicious and I could add them to salads readily as an ingredient that brings a pleasant flavor. I can handle dried cubensis now, much better than last time I tried some years before.

Personally I think puking is a part of the experience. Don't fight the nausea. Take a higher dose, powder it so it absorbs quicker, then puke it up and trip balls.
 
Whenever I eat mushrooms I usually break them up into small pieces, then compress them into pill sized bits and swallow them one by one.

I eat the dose over the course of about 25 to 30 minutes and dont usually have any nausea....

I think whoever said OP is just enjoying milder trips is right. I have tried redosing with mush before (although this was after 2 hours into the trip) with no success

I dont like the idea of tea and having to taste it for the time it takes to drink an entire cup.

Powder on the tongue or well mixed in strong juice washed down real quick, takes only seconds, you taste almost nothing, and it comes on in 15mins, not 30-40. I think the psychedelic effect is better the faster it gets in you, as well. Also, the acidity of the juice may improve getting all the alkaloids out of the shroom-dust.

But to each his own. :)

But be sure it is really well powdered... utterly pulverized, man. A coffee bean grinder is what you want to use... available cheap, for 10-15 dollars in discount stores...

And they're great to have on hand for far superior coffee too! NOTHING tastes as fantastic as some exotic dark-roast whole-beans, freshly ground moments before being brewed! Especially while coming up on the shrooms, as long as you already have the grinder out, why not, haha! And the heavenly aroma in the house really sends you to cloud 9 when you start to trip. The mild caffeine stimulant I find also enhances the shroom buzz just enough, too.
 
^i'm definitely with you on the aroma aspect-- i find the smell of coffee to actually give me more productivity/stimulation boost than the caffeine itself!
 
My last shroom experience was my first time brewing up some tea. I usually eat around ~2.5g dried and I'm one of those people that gag when trying to swallow those buggers in any form. I have to say the tea was not a problem for me at all and I will be using this method from now on. I steeped with a green tea bag, then added freshy squeezed lemon and some honey. So much better if you have bad nausea!
 
I like to nibble the whole dose for an hour and a half to two hours, so if i have 5 grams itll take me 90 minutes to eat it, comes on slower, actually often comes on before ive even finished the dose, I like long trips so this method helps for that, also I like large doses but can get freaked out if I just plow 5 whole grams down.
 
Mushrooms used to be my favorite drug. Untill I found a reliable, strong acid connect. I havent really taken them since.

But i used to normally eat them all at once. Redosing an hour later shouldnt be much weaker tho ime, as your body has likely not finished absorbing all the initial dose yet so it would just be like it was digesting slowly. but more than 2 hours it seems to lose effectiveness rapidly

Sometimes i would make tea. If you use 2 tea bags and a bit of sugar or honey it is likely that you wont taste the shrooms at all
 
although many disagree, I am a a strong proponent of 5 grams all at once. To me getting hit with a ton of psychedelic bricks is the most amazing experience on earth. Man I hate the come up with a passion, but once I break through there is nothing better. In fact I have found spreading out the doses only makes for a long and uncomfortable come up which I would just prefer to get out of the way with all at once.
 
I have mostly eaten them. The tea method makes the psilocybin hit almost instantly as your gut doesn't need to break down the mushroom fiber.

Little metal wire ball clasps (to hold herbs) work great to hold mushrooms in tea. Get them at any herb shop.
