The only drug I have done in my life is weed in the form of Bud, Wax, Distillate Cartridges, and Edibles for the better half of 3 years. I've also drunken hard liquor but only twice if you want to count that as a drug. I've also been involved in making DMT, however I never used it because I wasn't ready for something that strong unlike the buddy I did it with. The chemistry was fun, and I'd like to start experimenting so that I can make it again and hopefully this time feel ready to try it. Sidenote, I technically have done shrooms before but it was an extremely small dose while I was already significantly high and it just felt like a booster. I didn't feel anything super different or psychedelic, the only difference was that I really wanted to sit down and I couldn't because I was in band class and I play the drums.
I decided I wanted to get into psychedelics, because I have heard of their world-perception changing effects and that interests me greatly. The reason I am choosing shrooms as opposed to arguably most peoples first psychedelic, LSD, is because I am much more comfortable with a substance created by nature as opposed to completely synthetic. I am aware that modern day weed and shrooms are chemically altered, as purely natural substances are extremely weak, but it still makes me more comfortable because I don't want to trust something completely man-made especially with all of the news about fentanyl recently.

Anyways, I just wanted some heads up before my trip which I am planning to do on Saturday. Useful things for me would be how to take it, how much to take, recommendations of things to do on my trip (even things to think about and dwell on), safety procedures and prerequisites, etc. Honestly, anything that would be helpful. If you're curious, I bought a half oz of "Penis Envy's" for $100.

Another pretty specific question I have is would it be safe to cross my trip with weed? Or maybe it is safe but I should experience pure shrooms first? If so, is smoking weed or eating edibles better?

Anything you can comment relevant to this post would be very appreciated, I am pretty excited for my first trip.



Edit: Thanks for all of the replies, I feel more than ready for my trip now. Youve been way more helpful than I anticipated!

do you know how much the small dose that you tried when you were high was?

i might recommend trying some tea too, sometimes the dried shrooms are hard to stomach, imo. some people deal with them fine, but it's easy to just put your dose of shrooms in a tea cup, pour the hot water that's been off the water boiling for about thirty seconds or less, just enough time for the boiling to stop... i pour that water over the shrooms and then once the tea cools, i take the shrooms out and squeeze any water out of the shrooms into the cup... and then i throw the rest of the wet shrooms out, most of the ingredients you want to consume that were in the shrooms should be in the water.. i've noticed very little difference between the strength of the tea compared to just eating the dry shrooms.

that's how i always made shroom tea. i'm not sure if any one else has a different way of doing it. i heard people actually boil the shrooms completely, but i heard that the heat kills the ingredients that you want in the shrooms.

It was only like a small piece like 2cm long
 
My first time was perfect. I was in a safe space with trusted friends all looking to share a journey.

I cooked my penis envies (1.5 grams) into a spaghetti dinner. Ate it.

It kicked in about 2 hours later, a nice slow come up with no anxiety or nausea.

All three of us had a great time for five hours. Funny, profound, bonding.
 
Essential for any good trip:

Set and Setting

Have a good mindset-- don't trip if you're angry, fearful, anxious, or depressed.
Be in a good setting-- someplace comfortable where you feel safe and can hang out for as long as you wish. Don't be around people who annoy you in any way.

My favorite way to consume shrooms?
Steep in Sleepytime tea, add a dollop of honey. Don't forget to squeeze out the teabag well and be sure to eat the softened shrooms.

PS--- I like to do about 4 or 5 grams, but beginners probably want to start with less, maybe half of that.
 
I would say skip the tea OP and for a first time if they are good potency 1 gram dry would be a good starting point, some people claim PE is more potent (not IME) so maybe .7grams. Shrooms are my favorite psychedelic, they are very euphoric and unlike with some other psyches there is no hangover effect where you feel exhausted and depressed, quite the opposite, after a shroom trip I always feel energetic and amazing the next day with a renewed sense of life. I just chew them until a paste with my front teeth but if the taste bothers you a coffee grinder works well and you can just shoot it down with some juice. I find they work best to eat very lightly the day you plan to trip and stop eating anything 3 hours before. You will start to feel the effects on an empty stomach around 10-15 minutes usually a sort of jittery/anxious feeling which is completely normal to feel a bit anxious and maybe feel like "why did I do this" but trust that its normal and it will pass. I would say maybe skip the weed if you are prone to being anxious but if not I like to take a small hit around 30 minutes after to kick them into to gear.

You will feel a good body high coming on between like 30-60 minutes. An hour in the trip will start to take hold and keep ramping up to the peak which is usually around an hour and half to two hours in and then you will peak for an hour or two and slowly come back to baseline. Music is essential in my experience, I like psytrance for my trips it really brings out the euphoria, Ive never "Felt" music like I do in that state of mind its simply awe inspiring. A weird tip I stumbled on by accident is if a trip is getting a bit overwhelming I like to wear sunglasses even if its nighttime, I dont know why but it has helped me several times before. Also if you start to get uncomfortable small things like going into a different room or going outside can help, also changing the music or switching it off basically changing your environment can really help. Just remember to have a good time and shrooms are very safe and it will always wear off.

Weed will intensify a trip big time, Ive seen many trips go sideways from someone smoking too much or even just taking a hit so Id gauge if you should smoke based on how you are feeling, if you are feeling great and having a good time already the weed might not be necessary. Eyes closed in a comfortable chair can bring out awesome closed eye visuals and feelings of euphoria. Just try to "go with the flow" and where the trip takes you, all my best trips were always based on just surrendering to the trip, its crazy how its almost all mental and in your head, for example one time I had eaten a good amount and around 30 minutes in I was starting to panic and feeling sick and dizzy like I was gonna puke and started pacing and was thinking "I took too much this is starting to go bad" and then I caught myself and put on some of my fav music sat down took a few breaths and literally it all went away within a couple minutes and I actually started eating more haha and ended up having one of the most amazing trips of my life.
 
Skip the edibles, smoking weed is great with shrooms. Edibles give too much body load which you may already get from the shrooms.

As has been said, set & setting is key. My first time was at the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas. It was hilarious, but I would not recommend it to everyone. Overall, I consider shrooms to be pretty light / easy, so I would not stress it too much so long as you don't do a herculean dose. Oh, an empty stomach is good, too, so don't eat right before or expect to eat during the trip (at least not till the tail end).

Sounds like you're doing pretty good, actually. Have some weed and some beers ready for the comedown. Have plenty of music on hand.

But most of all? Have a trip sitter and a safe environment where you'll be away from (parents? authorities) for at least about ten hours. You'll be pretty sleepy at the end and trying to explain to (spouse? roommate?) why you're sleepy isn't fun.

Do what you can to make sure you have the next day off of work. You sound like you're right on track!
 
My best trips have always been alone, I like to get weird if I want to and I don't want someone there where you have to worry about feeling self conscious/embarrassed. People just aren't very fun to trip with for me unless its a good buddy who can handle their shit and I really trust them. Emotions get amplified so much it can cause lots of miscommunication. I remember my buddy thought I was really mad at him and asked me afterwards why I was so upset and I was like huh? I had pretty much just disappeared into my trip with my eyes closed and I guess wasn't saying much and he thought I was pissed, shit like that always grounds me and makes it harder to really get into it thats why I like to do it alone. Also sucks if you are having a good trip and your friend starts to go wonky and then you gotta spend your time babysitting ruining your fun.
 
with these indoor grown strains they can be incredibly potent compared to wild mushrooms. Id start with 1 - 1.5 G and eat that, break it up into small pieces and swallow it down with water or a drink.

Mushrooms will show you many things go with the flow surrender, relax, laugh, cry and love. Meditation in the deep waves of psilocybin is where you will find the magic. Shrooms are pretty grounded, weed can make the trip far stronger but i enjoy it on mushrooms cause it kinda makes the nauesa go away and relaxes me while making me trip hard on mushrooms.

Me too, for sure!

I really dig day tripping in a secluded woodsy area where I won't encounter any people, preferably by a mountain stream.

If that is impractical, I like tripping in my bedroom-- lights off, no music, just lying naked on my bed. It creates a sort of sensory deprivation atmosphere which is highly conducive to profound visions.

Either of these scenarios usually results in some kind of pleasant and intense spiritual experience. Always rewarding!

PS-- I like to save the weed until the tail end of the trip when I'm starting to come down but I want it to last a little longer. Really good bud sometimes kicks the trip back up into high gear.
 
Another favorite on shrooms is taking some whip its right as the peak starts to wane, I was listening to psytrance "raja ram" and my first whip it on shrooms shot me out of a cannon. The breathing walls and "wa wa" synced together and I couldn't even control it I was fist pumping so hard and dancing to beat like a madman. I always get a good laugh out of what a stranger looking through the window would think at times like that haha.
 
^^^whip its and shrooms is like hardcore drugs to me. lol. that will send a trip into a completely different direction that hits way harder.

i'd say a person probably wants to try whip its and shrooms seperate before they go messing around with that, but the combo to me was nothing at all like the two on their own. a whip it and shrooms to me is like a high dose of lsd or salvia for only a minute not much more or less. so it's pretty cool to try out if a person might be interested in that type of experience. a whip it and shrooms never really had any negative come down effect like salvia did either, which is pretty cool. i've never done multiple whip its in a night though. i heard that can cause depression or depletition of something that vitamin b12 helps. definitely recommend reading up on it before trying whip its, but if you like drugs and tripping hard, definitely recommended. i don't see how a couple whip its in a night could be bad with how some people abuse 100s at a time. that's just the way i think of it.

definitely want to be in a comfortable place where you are sitting down and can't fall over if you want to mess with whip its too. you'd probably read about that if you were to google it. i'd hope they list that anyways.
 
Yeah definitely not something to try until experienced with shrooms a bit but I feel the same it does feel like hard drugs, I dont know how to describe it I just feel like a ball of pure energy not tethered to my body at all, as if I have infinite power and could do anything. I never understood the lyric "go ask alice when shes ten foot tall" as clearly as when I did that combo, literally felt taller/bigger/faster in every way. Its odd but nothing feels better than when I gets stuck in those big shroom yawns and my eyes get all watery and for some reason feeling tears dripping down my face with the yawn and body high felt like the most euphoric feeling in the world. Like you said they are so different when separate, I feel like whip its alone arent worth it to me but with mushrooms they are like the icing on the cake. With my eyes closed I'll either feeling like Im soaring high up into the sky or even weirder as if Im falling into an abyss, both feel amazing in their own way. I dont like all that cheesy "ego death" terminology but that combo had me experiencing what I would imagine dying was like, feeling no body anymore and just inky blackness I totally see why people call it "the void". Man I really wish I could grow where I live but its not possible but I can't wait to get back to it one day.

I havent even made the tea yet lol. It will be in a few hours when my buddy comes over so it will probably last until afternoon sunday at the latest. Regardless ill be sure to give an update
 
Mushrooms always make me want to stretch my muscles out and just kinda roll around on the floor "adjusting stuff" until I'm comfortable.
So like, a good environment to just kinda, be on the ground without getting dirty or uncomfortable.
It's usually pretty easy to achieve, lol. Inside or out.
Blankets? Pillows? Sleeping bags? None of or all of the above?
It doesn't really matter but any kind of good floor or ground time is surprisingly pleasant on psilocybin mushrooms.
Do as much or as little weed as you like, or want, or need, it sounds like you've got the weed thing down.
Weed tends to just layer a whole, well weed... thing on top of the mushrooms.
It (it being the weed) doesn't have the unique potential to overpower mushrooms as it tends to with LSD.

(for some reason)
(in my experience, at least)
 
Shrooms are everything big pharma wishes they could create in terms of an antidepressant, completely harmless on a physical level, can bring about life changing experiences that persist long after they have worn off and have an immediate effect, no waiting months taking something to wait for it to build up in your system and then "well it didn't work we'll try another one that probably won't work and you can feel like shit with side effects in the mean time" and more importantly you can trip as many times as you want and you will never ever become dependent and get brain zaps when you decide you don't need them anymore.
 
Hey everyone, I just wrote a really long post about my trip, (which was amazing by the way) but my breaker flipped right before I was about to post it so I lost it all. That was really fucking frustrating, but I'll make sure to write it again tomorrow.
