Alright so i picked up about 2.5-3g's of GoldenCaps.
the only other psychedellic ive had was 2C-E, so this is gonna be hella interesting:D
i would just like to know if anyone had any advice/pointers on how i should dose, what i should do, what other drugs would make the effects stronger, etc. (i read making it into a tea makes you trip harder, and something else about mixing it with lemon juice?8( )

i wanna split it with my friend, but i feel like this wont be enough for the both of us.
its mostly stems, but theres 1 big and 1 small cap and we'll have weed, and some ecstasy.
Me and my friend are both lightweights if it matters.
i know that theres a Big&Dandy thread about Shrooms but i felt like if i asked in there, that i wouldnt get enough responses in time.

thanks in advance guys:\

EDIT: i actually picked up more shrooms, so now i have about 7-8g's i think. and i decided not to roll.

I never understood the idea of mushroom tea, heat degrades psilocybin :\ Cannabis makes the effects more pronounced but it isn't as clear headed, makes it more dreamy. Which can be a good thing, depending on what you want to expierence.

If you break the mushrooms up & let them sit in orange juice for a bit, the psilocybin will break down into psilocin, so when you ingest it you'll have a harder but shorter trip. I'd say take the mushrooms as is your first time, with a bit of weed to make the expierence more inviting.
 
i think you could do it depending on how potent the shrooms are. the mushrooms we get here make you trip decently at a gram. me and my buddy split 2.3 a few nights ago and we both tripped great. id split it. smoke a small bowl of weed half hour before you eat em to curb any nausea. then wait at least an hour after eating before deciding your comfortable enough to smoke more. if you do smoke more, go slow, its easy to get carried away on weed while on psychedelics, at least for me.
 
eat both the stems and the caps. also, it helps if you have a scale because i had caps weigh 1.1 grams each and i accidently ate 5-6 caps with the stems about 5-6 grams lol.

don't fight the experience. remember to just relax and let the shrooms take you where they want you to go....
 
thanks for the responses guys:) keep it up haha.

and how should i dose with the ecstasy? (its bk-mdma:!:o) but i have alot of it so it should still feel like rolling...
 
Shrooms are, IMO, best enjoyed in calm, chilled out environment - dark bedroom or maybe forest, if weather permits. Somewhere you can lie down and space out if you feel like it.

Dosage range for bk-MDMA is usually 100-250mg, start low. Erowid Methylone vault: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/methylone/

I'd just eat the shrooms and wait till I've plateaud before smoking any weed. Smoke makes trip more confusing and less lucid. Have a blast, dude!
 
The lemon tea thing is probably a myth, I imagine that if citrus potentiates psilocybin, someone would have studied and documented it in the 60 or so years it's been used in the west. Having said that, though, I followed 2g of shrooms down with half a lemon squeezed into tea, to kill the aftertaste (turns out it wasn't necessary; the highly potent species I ate tastes like starch but otherwise isn't bad) and I got a fairly heavy bad trip, ended up very confused and depressed for most of its duration.

Avoid my mistake: take it out in nature, not in your room, at least the first time. Best off during the day. Have a trip sitter. Make sure you're in a great state of mind before you take it. And you'll have a blast. :) Hope you discover the nature of reality out there.
 
bk-MDMA, aka Methylone, most people need at least a threshold of 175mg to feel the sought-after euphoric effects... less than that and they are just stimulating (though possibly quite pleasantly so, just lacking the tingly, floaty ecstatic euphoria that 175-200 will cause). Note the occasional hardhead needs more, the occasional softhead less.

So far as combining Methylone with shrooms have never tried that nor read about it. Might be decent, though. I would do a full dose of Methylone, which takes 45-55 mins to start to peak. And add a smallish dose of dried shrooms (1.5-2g perhaps?) just prior to that peak, perhaps at about 30mins after the Methylone. Perhaps the upper effects of the Methylone might lessen the occasionally sleepy, downer, bad-trip effects that shrooms can sometimes tend to provoke. Interesting idea for a combo... if you do it please let us know how it went.

But if it is first time doing shrooms, I would say do them on their own, so you learn what they are like. Quite unique, and often a very positive experience... perhaps with 1/3 of the time causing some excess anxiety. If they are average strength cubensis, I would suggest doing 2g your first try just to become convinced they aren't poisonous. And your second try like 3-4 days later bump it up to 3g for a "full" effect. Buckle your seat belt!

Oh I see the OP is talking about fresh picked "golden caps"??? What are those? The typical golden capped shrooms one sees growing alot of places? No idea what those are, they may even be poisonous, I would not do them without a full identification including spore print to be sure what you have. Definitely look them up on Erowid, and discuss with experts at shroomery.org before consuming.

If you don't get the "bluing" effect several hours after breaking or bruising them, then they probably are NOT psychedelic and should be discarded. Also be aware there are some BIG differences in dosing fresh vs. totally dried till crisp.
 
just make sure you lay down with music and close your eyes. many do not realize the essence of a shroom trip happens behind your eyelids - sorta the opposite of LSD. Tis a spiritual journey. I'd just eat 'em straight up, maybe with peanut butter for taste. Once you get your feet wet with shrooms then you can try crazy stuff like the lemon tek; it'll truly blow your top off.


also, perhaps watch terence mckennas series on youtube titled 'how to take psychedelics' some very good advice in there.
 
Dry with a dessicant (can find at hobby stores, used to dry flowers quickly). Then you can get a more reliable dose, weighing dried rather than fresh, as water content varies alot and thus makes the dose/weight of fresh hard to guage.

Then get a coffee bean grinder (10-15 dollars at K-Mart Wal-Mart or other discount stores) and pulverize to a fine powder.

Take on empty stomach. More efficient absorption and less chance of upset You do NOT want to "spread out" the dose getting into your system... effects are a matter of PEAK CONCENTRATION that is achieved in the blood. And for that you want them to absorb as fast as possible. Spreading it out by eating slowly or taking with food just makes the effect weaker.

Swallow small 1/2 spoonfulls with a sweet thick juice (pineapple is perfect) till you have taken desired weight, thats what I always do.

Or mix with honey. Pnut Butter harder to mix and the protein could slow absorption but works too.

Pulverized tends to quicken the comeup (which you want... if too spread out over time it is not as potent = weaker trip), and also seems to eliminate nausea for most... its not the psilocybin that causes stomach upset... its the very hard to digest almost woody nature of the cellulose plant fiber. But ground to a powder your stomach doesnt even seem to notice it and it passes with liquid straight to the intestine for rapid absorption.

Of course now a dozen people will come by and say no do them MY favorite way. But I swear my and multiple friends' experiences are that dried powdered are easiest on the stomach (chewing them I used to feel sick... powdered ZERO stomach issues)_, most reliable for measuring dose, and most efficient use of the drug.

So take your pick... eventually you will find the method that you like the best, which absolutely varies between folks.

Good lucK!!!

thanks for identifying them:)

i think ill save the methylone for earlier in the day, and shroom at night (or other way around).
(whoever said it) i think your right, i shouldnt mix it if its gonna be my first trip.
then again, we dont have that much of the shrooms. i guess we'll just see how it plays out:\
 
Well, you should still triple check to be sure though. Here in Australia, there's a species called the death cap that closely resembles common psychadelic species. And true to its name, instead of giving you a trip, it murders you. It's responsible for 90% of mushroom deaths. So be careful!
 
Definitely check.

And FYI 2.5-3g fresh is probably going to be very mild. Thats about the amount DRIED for a decent strength trip.

But who knows, again good luck and be CERTAIN to Google "Psilocybe Cubensis identification" before you take them.
 
alright we'll be doin it tomorrow.
about 3'gs each. i think we'll just eat a cap or stem every 15 minutes and see how that goes:\
thanks for all the responses guys! ill have a trip report up on thursday :)
 
^Nah. If your sure about your dose I say just eat them all within 15 minutes then sit back and enjoy the ride. If you think you may need less eat 2.5 all at once then see how you feel after about 45 minutes then decide if you want to eat the other .5. Whatever you do dont space out your dosing like that or you wont be able to experience the truee magic that shrooms offer.

Atleast this had been my experience. If you just eat a stem or a cap every 15 minutes, which is a long time, you wont ever really peak you will just be feeling "funny" for a while. Trust me you want to peak on shrooms. Make sure you report back i love hearing how peoples first trips went.

Just goooo with the flowwww is the best advice anyone can give you.Whatever you do DONT try to fight it, you will not die etc etc.
