Cant tell if I enjoyed shrooms.

So the other day I was suppose to get some LCD (which I absolutely love) and instead, i was surprised with a nice eighth of shrooms ! Now I've never taken shrooms before but I read a lot about them and was extremely excited to take them. I was at my cousins house with a few friends that i usually trip with and it was around 9 when i took them. So for my first time I always take things easy and I ate about a little over a gram because everyone said they were a bit strong. There was only one thing I was nervous about and that was getting sick but I wasn't really thinking about that when I took them.

I was hanging out, we had lasers lights and trap music playing because I love that on acid but It kinda started to annoy me. I wanted to listen to classic rock and when we put that on it was nice but the sound of led zep and pink Floyd was creepy, and I love that music! It was dark in the room and we had candles lit, giving off a yellow and dark red mood to the room which I thought was creepy at first but then I found it relaxing. At first I didn't really talk I was just examining the room and trying to explore and think what was going on. Nothing was wrong, my stomach barley hurt, it was just strange. I realized I didn't laugh nearly as much as i do on acid. But I liked the fact that I could look at people and not feel sad or scared for them like I do on acid sometimes. I was helping my cousin because she was getting sick and usually if I was on lcd I'd feel for her and be worried about her but I helped her without any worry it was just really hard for me to talk and make sense and that's what made me laugh. I kept forgetting was I was talking about and I felt really mellow and tranquil. Things were breathing and I noticed whatever I was focusing on, everything around it would move or teeter todder back and forth. I thought that was cool but I was just so confused on how I was suppose to feel. LCD makes me happy, I talk a shit ton, and I laugh like crazy and dance and if things bothered me id get a similar feeling to anxiety. Shrooms literally had me sitting there with no emotion but confusion, curiousness thinking of course. When i did find something creepy it didnt give me an anxiety feeling, it was easy to handle but it was a different and hard to explain lol. I know it's different for every person but I would love to have a good time on shrooms. I'm definitely going to try it with nature during the day since that is my favorite scenery and everything will be a lot brighter. I just hope when I do them again that I actually have a good time ! I just found it kinda boring but maybe I just wasnt in the right place. I feel like shrooms may be more important to think about where your gonna take them rather then acid because I'm satisfied with almost anything on lcd. Let me hear your thoughts..

Sounds like with only 1g you might've taken just enough to get effects & mental state changes but not enough to let go and dive into the experience. As you were nervous going in & afraid of getting sick it souns like that's influenced the flavour of your trip too.

Set & setting are very important, probably with a more relaxed attitude & a different setting it would've been better. Nature during the daytime sounds like a plan for the next trip.

If you aren't sure if you enjoyed them you probably didn't.

^^^ if the magic wasnt there and you were bored with little to no anxiety its time to raise the dose. Obviously going overboard and having a bad trip is worse than being board so nothing crazy. I would imagine 3.5g/ or an 8th would be considered the general standard so you probably didnt get the full effect. Lower .5g or so if they are strong of course. Good on you for being a good trip sitter though.

Nature is a key aspect in my estimation on shrooms, I never felt right inside, even when it was cold out I choose to venture out into the elements of earth. Going for a walk on mushrooms can be a great thing, an incredible thing. The first time I ever came into a shroom trip I was lieing on a bench in the quad at my very liberal school, the tree above me appeared to be slowly moving towards me, creepy but also oddly hilarious... We then went for a long walk around campus.

I agree with others, that 1 gram may have been to little, but to go headstrong into 3.5 grams of strong shrooms may be asking for trouble. A day trip can be a lot of fun, but try to go for a camp ground rather then walking around in public as that may freak you out a bit. a good first dose is close to 2 grams IMO. Since you enjoy LSD you could bump it up to 2.5 but I would not consume 1/8" all at once.

LSD is a chemical and while it may feel extreamly organic, it is still man made and IMO, easier at lower doses to 'control' then shrooms. One of my best experiences on shrooms came when I put them into a smoothie that had oranges, bannanas and Kiwi's possibly some strawberries as well..... it was a while ago. Apparently citric acid in citric fruits like oranges lemons and kiwis allow for easier digestion and absorbtion of the psyilcybins. I drank it and then spent the day in my backyard listening to the doors, with 2 close friends. If you have the time and ability to do this I highly recommend it, it was an increadible thing and even though I was a bit nervous.... about stomach issues they were non existent. Be sure though to not mix in yogurt or milk as IMO dairy is to heavy to combine with shrooms.

Shrooms can be INCREADIBLY relaxing rather then stimmy like LSD so a lot of what you said made sense, and I also often felt oddly creeped out if I was inside on shrooms. Nothing ever felt right with 4 walls and a ceiling if I was coming up or into my peak. This was never the case with LSD, seeing as how a party atmosphere was fine with me. I used to love watching drunk people on Acid. The only mildly bad time I had on shrooms was a night trip where oddly enough in the summer is was kinda cold and it started pooring rain..... I eventually found myself a bit wet a bit cold but happy on a back porch at my girls house. I choose to drink rain water dripping off a roof rather then go back inside to get a drink or water when I was peaking on 5 grams for some rather strong shrooms.
