How the fuck does it happen?



I don't post in PD often, but as you may have gathered from what I have posted in here, I take a very spiritual view on psychedelics. Now that's great, and it's lead me to some serious revelations.. but it's not always that fun of an experience. It's life changing and awe-inspiring, but not always the kind of experience you would want your friends to see you go through.. or one that is exactly light-hearted and care-free...


Tomorrow is Halloween.. obviously. I want to have fun, and I have a plan to do mushrooms... but how do I keep myself in this world and not ++++ into another galaxy? I mean, I used to be able to do it... but now I'm not so sure I can. I love deep and spiritual trips, but that's not so suited to the Halloween vibe. Maybe that alone will keep me out of it?



I just want the 'ol skool see shit warp and get into that mind state, but still be able to continue on with any wacky adventures I find myself on



So, PD, you guys have any tips on how to keep my trip on the fun side like I used to have? The last trip put the Fear of God into me... but again, I'd like to steer away from that if at all possible.. I know that in the end I'll just have to go where they take me though.


What dose should I take? I was thinking something hardcore like 5+ grams.. but I don't think I could function lol. I'm thinking more like 2.5-3g for a full trip, but not complete confusion.
 
I'm going all out tomorrow and trying 4-Aco-DMT for the first time, from what I head it's similar to mushrooms. It's Halloween, probably the only time it's somewhat acceptable to go crazy.

I hope you get the answer you need, let us over in ED know how it goes!
 
I never used to be able to, it took quite a lot of me changing through other things in life to get to where I am now where I can just enjoy it and leave the deep stuff be..

My suggestion would be to wind back the dose as far as you can, and slowly build.. and try not to take things seriously - lighthearted fun is just as important to development of a well-rounded human as deep understanding of the self & cosmos... give yourself a holiday. Perhaps focus on how silly some of the things that humans do are :\
 
Dude. If you don't want a spiritual trip DON'T take 5+ grams! Holy fucking shit! 2.5-3 sounds just about perfect... just go into it with a light heart and remember the good things in life if your mind starts straying to the bad.
 
Also was thinking of taking some shrooms maybe for halloween. ONly problem is ive took around 40mg of diazepam tonight and not sure if it will effect my trip much. I am only looking abit of a mild trip from some liberty caps should i just dose normal or up the dose?
 
^ Yeah, it will probably hurt your trip a little bit. You could probably get away with it though.. if anything you just won't trip as hard as you want.

LOL yeah, good point. Last time I under dosed and it was pretty boring, but I'd say 3 grams to the dome should be perfect. I only have 6g, so then I'll have a whole other trip left over
 
I don't know about your options. Maybe add some MDMA (or analogue ;)) for a more...lighthearted experience (I guess a small dose would be best)

Oh and yeah: Don't take 5+ grams =D
 
I would go for an eighth thats always been my sweet spot and as far not freaking out or anything I can't help never have really I usually just watch the wood grain in my wall, makes some awesome stuff on shrooms =D

Sorry to nitpick, but I just have to point out that this is somewhat contradictory to the proper attitude for a good psychedelic trip. For best results, as has been said many a time before, you must let go, and not become attached to reality or good feelings (a.k.a. "going with the flow"). To instruct someone to "remember the good things" if your mind starts "straying to the bad" is instructing the user to fight the trip if it starts becoming difficult, which is exactly what you don't want to do. (Also it implies that a psychedelic trip can take "bad" directions, which is impossible, viewed from the right perspective.)
 
Your question has been asked many times, the answer is basic stuff.

Set and setting. What's your frame of mind? Are you pretty solid with who you are and where you are in life? No psychosis in you or your immediate family, right? No major depression or excessive anxiety or worry. If any doubt, maybe this isn't the time for shrooms for you.

You'll need comfortable and friendly environment, the setting. You'll need to feel safe because you will be vulnerable.

Finally, 5 grams is a lot, a really lot. Unless you've done 3 or 4 grams and know what to expect, I'd say 2-3 grams is the most you should be doing. But it's up to you Major Tom.

[edit]

A couple more words about shrooms. Magic Mushrooms in the right dose in the right person in the right frame of mind can feel like Mother Nature herself embracing you in her her warm and loving arms and the experience can be like magic and can leave a lasting positive effect on your life. Or shrooms can be a harsh teacher. If you take more than you're prepared for or come to her with fear and doubt you may get in over your head quickly. If you take enough you may meet the dude - it is a dude - at the center of the Aztec calender. I've seen him, many have seen him and his face is all over pre-columbian Aztec and Mayan art. Be ready because he can play rough.

lower dosages = fun for me, higher dosages = intense, deep and typically tough (whether or not it ends up being a "worthwhile"/useful experience)

acid is far easier to control for me, but same rules apply (lower doses for 'fun'/partying, higher dosages for introspection / ego development)
 
if you are going out with some friends who are doing them too, take a walk in the woods, have a bonfire party if you canl i would go lol. just make sure to have a few out there who are either just smokin of drinkin, that way nothing gets too crazy, not that it would or anything, but always safer to have some people are who arent tripping. my .03

Im also the same but everyone i know seems to dissagree and think that shrooms are alot easier to handle or control. really should take some shrooms tonight like as there is a few magical events happening tonight would near feel wrong not to
 
What species(') of shroom(s) to you have access to? This alters the nature of the trip more than most think and is something I've made my personal area of study if you will. I'm convinced that there are two factors at play:-

1) Overall tryptamine content/ weight. Obviously.

2) Baeocystin content, or perhaps more precisely 4-HO-DMT/4-PO-DMT : Baeocystin ratio. The higher the ratio in favour of bae., the less dark the trip.

For example P. semilanceata and P. cyanscens are less dark than P. cubensis and P. mexicana, at a trip of equivalent intensity.

I'm not claiming this is true for everyone, but it's certainly true for the majority in my experience.
 
P. semilanceata are the species i am talking about and have access to. I never got round to taking them just a had a drink and some other nice things :P

Plenty of time to trip plus dont want to waste them as ive benzos built up in my system and dont want to take the chance of the effects being dulled at all
 
I believe I had cubensis, but I'm not sure if I trust what I was told. Good shrooms either way..


I underdosed a bit, but still had a great trip. I think the key to a not so deep trip is to do it with friends, well, that and smoke a shit ton of weed too. It was a great experience, there was a full moon and fog in the cemetery we went lol and we smoked almost a half ounce in the night. After they left I was even still able to get some great introspection :)


I'll probably write more later but I got to bounce
 
I tripped last nite on shrooms (phillipeno shrooms) took a half eight. i took 3mg xanax earlier in the day and i think it fucked up my trip. so im assuming benzos + shrooms dont mix well. unless you're havin a bad trip then take some..
 
benzo's are going to KILL your trip. In fact, when i was really starting to learn how to use *high*-dosage experiences of acid, mushrooms, etc, I would crush 4mg xanax, put it into a little "nip" bottle (50ml alcohol bottle) with some water, and leave it on the counter on top of a big piece of paper that said STOP in huge, magic marker letters (sometimes it would be seroquel in there lol, but xanax worked just fine).
Even when in control of a trip/roll/whatever, i always use xanax to "turn it off" at the end of the night when i'm done. In fact, I dislike consuming such things w/o xanax/benzo's/seroquel on-hand, because i hate being "off" my drug, yet unable to sleep. That geeked-out period is so lame and detracts from the overall 'vacation', as I like to call it :)

EDIT: yes, I am fully aware that certain chemicals in my "stop" bottle were not water soluble. That doesn't mean that having them as a suspension in fluid wasn't a much faster way of getting them into mah bellah.
