Basically i was going to be getting some for me and a friend how many caps would it take?
also is there any way to spot a rip off or not?
 
I don't really think you can be ripped off with mushrooms other from them being a different kind of species (which could be a very dangerous thing, but rarely happens). Make sure you know where they're coming from.
I'd recommend 2 grams each. Maybe 1.5, but just 1 has never been enough for me.
 
only advice i have: make sure they are dried
Eat a whole 1/8 if you really want to get the mushroom experience.
Eat the stems and caps, they both contain psilocybin which is your best friend
Know if they are wild or homegrown. homegrown will usually bits of the substrate on the ends(looks like gold flakes)
(trust me, i used to grow)
 
Don't buy fresh shrooms unless you're sure there real and a blueish color is usually a good sign. If you don't have a scale an eigth (3.5g) of shrooms looks pretty similar in size to an eigth of weed. Anywhere from 2-4g should be good for a beginner.
 
Ask the guy your getting them from how much you should take for your first time. Potency varies. I've had 16ths where one of my friends was literally unresponsive to external stimuli.
 
If ur absolutely sure they're psilocybin then don't ask, just eat.. And eat more.. And more ;)
 
The good thing about mushrooms is you are getting what you asked for (unlike drugs such as LSD or ecstasy where you can be buying total fakes). My first time shrooming I took a half-eigth (1.75 grams) of some white-stem blue-cap mushrooms. It was one of the greatest times of my life.

Also to enhance your trip, drink orange juice. If you are comfortable with your trip smoke a little bit of bud ontop. Thatll send you out of the universe.

Enjoy!
 
ive done shrooms a few times, and personally i like lsd alot better. and rolls to btw. first of all it takes alot higher of a dose proportionally to get equals visuals you would from lsd, and when people take high doses of shrooms even experienced trippers have a tendancy to get bad trips and bad vibes. shrooms are even more unpredictable than acid on high doses, and on low doses the visuals are weak. some shrooms can give you a good body high, but most of the time you are guaranteed to have some degree of nasuea with mushrooms. also it feels like your trip is alot more inward and less controllable on mushrooms, while lsd you can pilot the trip better and let your self be influenced by external stimuli.
 
There's plausibility to the orange juice theory IMO, using it to make the trip stronger, read the mushrooms subthread on citrus juice
But no it will not abort a trip and neither will sugar. Though I never know what is more useful, to have it as a placebo effect or to break the santa clause myth and inform the facts.

'How much should I take' threads are not allowed so answers pointed to that question may be edited out.

As to your question how to tell if they are real ones, without being a mycologist it can be hard depending on the similarity of a possible bunk one that is used. There can be inactive mushrooms that look very much the same but also a lot that look totally different. It helps to have some experience with the appearance of psilocybin mushrooms.

Also, the dose is often meant to be for Psilocybe Cubensis, the most common magic mushroom. If nothing else is mentioned I'd assume its those you would get. Other more potent types are significantly smaller.

If you have other things you want to discuss visit the Big & Dandy Mushrooms Thread, to be found in the Psychedelic Index that we have, I will leave this open a little longer for you to reply.

I would suggest to start with no more then 2 grams, assuming they are dried and this will be your first trip with mushrooms. I like to start low with ALL substances I have never tried yet, lets you get comfortable with the substance and makes for a better trip the next time if you do decide to take more. You can always re-dose 2 hours in if your feelin it but not where you wanna be.

As for bein ripped off..
Look at pics of dried shrooms online to see what they generally look like.
 
oh ya and one other thing. drinking orange juice dosent do shit beside prove that your fuckin rettarded


I'd have to disagree with you on this.

I recently ate an eigth of some potent mushrooms, dried. To help me get em down I drank em with a big glass of orange juice. I had some food in my stomach ( can't bring myself to not eat all day even when I know I will be eatin shrooms) like all my other trips and I was feeling the first effects within 20 minutes..floor getting a wavey look ect. My point is I usually don't feel anything until atleast 40 minutes to an hour.

Maybe orange juice helps break down the psilocibin and you get them in your system in larger amounts faster....making the effects stronger.. as opposed to in smaller amounts over a longer period of time...just my opinion..I do agree with you about LSD compared to shrooms though.%)
 
Even though - like I already said - we don't advise what you should do, how to approach mushrooms as a beginner has been covered enough times: go here

And see the very similar answers repeatedly.

Also remember one thing: mushrooms are a natural product and can vary from weak to strong so the trip can have an unexpected intensity (very weak or strong) even though you did not expect that from the dose. Be prepared for that and take it into account when you dedice how much to try.
