cant hallucinate on shrooms!! grrr!

[5ky-lin3]

Hey guys, the other day I took shrooms for the second time. each time I have taken from about 15-20 shrooms and had only little effects. They have clearly worked tho because my eyes go very dialated and I start to feel like im drunk and therefore start to think different (i think like similar to when im drunk) but I dont ever hallucinate and see anything strange which is the best part i was hoping for. I took the shrooms with someone the second time and they had the same amount (possibly 2 or 3 less) and were seeing all kinds of shit. The first time I took them was also from the same batch others ahve used and also got real trippy off and seen stuff.

I guess my question is why wont they work for me and how can I get them to work to the same extent?
Is it because i'm a little more built than them? (even tho one bloke is heavier than me because of his fat whereas im more athletically built) or can it be because of other factors such as whats going on in my life (too much) and such ?

Cheers!

Welcome to BL!
This is a classic case of "your mileage may vary". Some people are just more sensitive then others to certain drugs. I have a friend who can happily take 100g of mushrooms, whereas 55g was enough to cause a full blown, ego death, out of body, spread across the cosmos like butter, meeting God experience for me. Just keep upping the dose, and you'll get what you're looking for.

You might have to take more shrooms, but if you are just looking for visual effects you will be in for a surprise, as the mental effects will also come out to play. Considering you've only consumed shrooms twice its kinda silly to say they don't work for you. Not to mention peoples bodies aren't not the same. Everyone responds differently to drugs.

Also, the visuals aren't everything, no point going into a trip expecting to see silly shit the whole time. Psychedelics are a lot deeper than that. I'm not saying don't go into it trying to have a good time and that is all, I'm saying the world of psychedelics is so much vaster than a bunch of cool patterns.

Try smoking a decent bit of weed during the experience (if you they don't normal cause you anxiety). I find weed to potentiate the whole experience, and really bring out the visual side. I've had 1/8th mushrooms trips which haven't been very visual until I took a fat bong rip. That also lead to some crazy had space.

I can try upping my dosage i suppose. and yes im not all about trying to see shit but the other night when my mate was seeing stuff and I was having minimal effects it kinda ruined it and wasnt worth it in the end lol. Might try the weed idea if bigger doses dont work but I have the same kinda thing with weed where it doesnt have any effects even though it does on others lol

^Right on the money cloudy, so many people think that you're going to see rainbow unicorns, the psychedelic experience is so misrepresented in popular culture. A lot of people are taken completely by surprise by the profound shift in consciousness.

What has been your dosage so far? And what kind of mushrooms?

^ that's what I was wondering.. Maybe you just have a bad source with bad mushrooms?

I dont ever hallucinate and see anything strange which is the best part i was hoping for.

Try not hoping. Seriously. Going into a trip with expectations will change your experience to a large degree. Just take a hefty dose, clear your mind, relax, and let what happens happen. Far more effective in my experience.

^I've always found it helpful to go into a trip expecting it to be an enjoyable and productive experience. I think that the less fear you have of it all going tits up, the less the chance of that happening.

Seeing as you went into the trip wanting to see shit.. I think you took a low dose, and expected the visuals to be overwhelming. Until you get up into the higher doses, most shroom visuals halos around lights, and things seem to crawl, or breathe.. but you're not gonna see scooby doo talk to you or anything like that, if thats what you were expecting.

I also know a girl who can take a bunch of LSD and only get mental effects, apparently mushrooms are the complete opposite for her and she gets no mental effects but tons of visuals. I guess it just varies from person to person and also natural tolerance.

I'm glad me and my friends are all on similar levels unless cross tolerance is playing an effect, I only know a few hard heads and only one true lightweight.
