i havent tried mushrooms but im really close to getin em
but i wanna educate myself on what im doin before i do it...
i just want all there is to know about mushrooms
like...
effects, dosage,hazzards, and fun stuff to do while on them
i also dnt know what species of mushrooms they are...so general answers will do
plz help me out i really appreciate it
 
You owe it to yourself to read all you can of the Erowid mushrooms vault (including at least a handful of trip reports) before trying them.
 
...Just don't read trip reports in the Trainwreck or Difficult experiences sections. Reading up on bad trips is the worst way to get anxious about having one.

Save that for after your first experience and you've felt the beauty.
 
^ I'd disagree with that - the choice is up to the individual - it may be more realistic to say - do not attach any great significance to the negative experiences of others - but to suggest they censor it out seems contrary to my way of thinking.


Surely ALL psychedelic experience is valid ?



OP as a rule the vast majority psychedelic experiences aren't trainwrecks or horror stories - but they are part of the landscape.
 
When first time trippers encounter negative emotional states it is often because they dose too high, especially with psilocybin. A good starting dose is 1.5-2.0 grams. I have had some harder trips, and I still prefer ~2 grams as an ideal dose.
 
^ Shame not everyone knows that, i've seen people eat just over 4g on first time...needless to say that wasn't a fun day. =/

(and no, not me, I respect the shroom.)
 
Please check out the Big & Dandy Mushroom thread transcendance linked to in his (2nd) post above, it has a lot of useful links that should answer all of you basic needs-to-know, also including sub-threads for first time mushroom users and a lot of other things! Please get back to us if you find this adequate for you or not so this thread can be closed if it is - otherwise we can help you of course!

Welcome to bluelight dude :)
 
Don't take too small a dose. I have found that new trippers do better with a moderate to large dose: 1/8+ depending on potency.

If you take too small a dose sometimes you will try to fight it and have a worse experience. With a full on dose you are more likely to be able to just surrender to the spirit and go with the flow.

Just make sure you have an ideal setting and are with people you are comfortable with(unless you are going it alone, which is fine too). Just surrender yourself to it and you will be fine.

Have fun and be careful.

That's not quite what I meant to convey... I suppose my concern was the thoughts of negative experiences being focused on during the come-up. It can happen quite quick and I for one get a lot of anxiety during this period.

Heh, my comment may have been slightly influenced by a time I tripped with a bad mindset after spending time reading about negative experiences days earlier. It was a revealing experience, though.
 
Killed half an eighth for my one and only experience. And had a very solid ++ for about 4 hours. It kinda dies after that though. Thats the only shame, the duration.

Also consider perhaps some of the RC's that more or less work like shrooms. 4-Aco-DMT for instance will last you longer. Its also gotten cheaper as demand/supply increased. Shrooms be pricey.

But a fact for you: Its fun and awesome!
 
I would also recommend taking an eight your first time. Think about your personality and why you want to trip; if you're pretty laid back and excited about the experience and treat it well, I doubt you will have a bad time.

I know some people get anxious if they smoke weed while on mushrooms, so your first time I recommend just sticking to the fungus. You'll have plenty to keep you entertained :). Also, going out in public can be fun, but just know that things can get a bit weird interacting with sober people.

HAVE A GOOD TRIP
 
My recommendation is 2.4 grams (split 7g into 3 equal portions, trip with 2 tripping friends and at least one sober friend). The best time to take it is probably in the mid-to-late afternoon.

I disagree!! When you read the trainwreck and difficult experience, you can have a pretty good idea beforehand of what symptoms made the users bad trip, and then you can know that even scary symptoms are normal, non life threatening and will go away.
 
It really depends on the person and his or hers experience with other things, a drug-naieve person might be too impressionable and expectactions could be warped by those kinds of reports. Some people scare much more easily and if you're about to trip one of the biggest things to fear is fear itself really. If you just fantasize yourself silly then you won't be able to let go and bad trips can occur.
BUT on the other hand trainwreck reports are good to read at some point or another because they are mistakes people have made and written down so that others don't have to make the same mistakes! That is a basic harm reduction rule, prevention by transfered experience :)

OP for all your other stuff visit the First Time Shrooming thread
