First Time Trying Shrooms

Hi!:D I am trying shrooms for the first time next weekend. I am planning on taking 2 grams. Would I be able to take them at night while they are sleeping without them knowing ? or would this just be asking for a bad trip. *note this will be my first psychadelic*
 
Asking for a bad trip. Every time I've tried to trip around my parents there has been negative results. I'm not gonna candy coat it. If your room is up upstairs, I guess you have a slight chance of not getting caught or having a bad trip.
 
Set and setting are crucial for your first experience. Once you've got a few trips under your belt you'll be able to just trip spontaneously (without planning) and have just as much fun, from my experience at least :)

Id suggest tripping during daylight and out in nature in some way. Hope you have fun! bad trips have their place, you can learn alot and bring it back with you. On the other hand I have heard of people who had such a bad trip they swore of psychedelics completely. So everybody is different. Stay safe bruh.
 
Yeah set and setting are crucial, not just for beginners but for experienced trippers too. I'm not gonna lie I tripped many times at the patents house. I was in the basement but I never went too deep. It can work out but if it doesn't don't be surprised.
 
If you can smoke cannabis and not get paranoid around your parents you can probably handle that dose of mushrooms around them.

2 grams is the perfect dose for a beginner imo, it is a fairly controllable experience yet still gives good psychedelia.

Like the others have said, set and setting is crucial and if you?re gonna be stressed about something before tripping you might want to reconsider and save them for a different time.
 
That depends entirely on the mushroom species. And freshness. 2g of dried cubensis is as stated not too heavy going, but make that the equivalent in wet weight of P.cyanescens, for example and it will blow your fucking head off.
 
2g of wet cyans (roughly = 0.2g dry) contain less actives than 2g dried cubes in almost all cases haha but I get you cyans are def more potent by weight all else being equal.

2gs would have been too much for me for a first time, I found a half eighth to be overwhelming. Keep in mind that some people are particularly sensitive to shrooms and don't need to take as much. Conversely you could be a natural hardhead and need more than average to get the same effects. If OP wants to be cautious they should try a low dose ~1g first to gauge their metabolism. Otherwise 1.5-2gs is probably fine.
 
Well I wasn't trying to compare wet to dry weight, that just doesn't make sense. But 2g freshly dried (I mean by that, dried recently and gently, such as by putting them into a sealed chamber and pumping it down with a vacuum pump, )

2g of freshly prepared cyans (dry weight) though is quite enough to give someone an ass kicking if they aren't expecting a strong trip. They are some of the most potent of the Psilocybes, IMO. I've both had it happen to me, and seen it happen to someone else, where we picked quite a substantial amount (enough to need to go to a nearby mcdonalds and beg some free empty happymeal boxes, and take two of those cartons a piece, for two of us, to fit a harvest) after relatively moist weather, so they were hydrated, and in cleaning them and getting them ready to be sporeprinted to weed out anything not so benign and beneficient as a Psilocybe, just cleaning the things with tissue we both absorbed enough psilocin/psilocybin through transdermal exposure to last maybe 20 minutes to a half hour before we realized it had come on properly and we were both tripping pretty decently, eyes as wide as fucking dinnerplates and the walls were breathing funny colored weaving mists and wobbling and occasionally, pictures on the walls would shed tears, etc. and do other weird stuff=D

Neither of us had partaken of any, since our objective at the time was just to clean them and get them ready for printing and diagnosis (the other party wasn't a mycologist, and as such it was up to me to make sure that what we were to be taking was exactly what we thought we'd be taking and nothing other, so I warned her not to eat any fresh because of the potential for a Galerina to slip the net if she had) But when we took them, tried them at 2g and it was really, really strong. 3 was a white knuckle ride, and 5g was...well there aren't really words that describe what 5g of freshly dessicated Psilocybe cyanescens will do to somebody because language doesn't really apply in any conventional sense to describe the kinds of perception changes in any more detail than 'perception changes' and 'hoooll-eee sh-IT' along with a comical sort of springing noise in the background twanging like a plucked cosmic string mounted on to a down-tuned space-time doubleneck bass/guitar, vibrating and sounding a chord that no physical ear could hear, or mouth could speak of.

Haven't taken cyans above 5-6g freshly dried and not long stored, it really did slap me sideways though. With a fork. A purple fork covered in little dancing furry beetles that insist on swearing profusely.
 
Yeah that makes sense, most varieties should hit those effects at those dosages though. IIRC the studies I've looked at put cyans around 10% higher in alkaloids. Definitely stronger but hardly even enough to adjust dosage at lower levels. I must have misread your comment the first time, my bad. Could have sworn you said 2g wet as the equivalent haha.

I'm surprised to hear you were able to absorb enough transdermally to trip, you must have handled a lot haha. Gonna look into the transdermal BA at some point now out of curiosity
