mushroom/lsd question.

[t.ska]

hi bluelight! first post so i guess bare with me?

ive done mushrooms three times, and lsd three times. on lsd (one hit each time) , i never once had a bad trip and always had minor breakthroughs when it came to personal character development and perception of life in general. it was awesome. now on shrooms( most ive taken is 2.5 g) i always tripped but fell into minor bad trips that would last a hour or so and never any kind of breakthrough perception wise.
Now with lsd nowhere to be found, im wondering if theres something i can do with how i do the shrooms to achieve what im looking for.
-maybe a higher dose is in order? maybe environment change? (never tripped in real social situations, just small groups)
AND i have a decent quantity of 2c-i, maybe this will do the trick? i do realize everyone is different when it comes to psychedelics in general, just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience like this.

IMO it's very personal. There are definitely 2 groups, one that finds shrooms more useful, the other finds lsd more useful. I doubt 2C-I will be in the same league when you're looking for the kind of breakthroughs you described. But it's still an interesting psychedelic.

yeah thats very true. thanls man! i think once this tax bullshit is done with and i have money to spare ima shoot for a 4g dose.

3.5g is a lot different than 2.5g in my experiences, and 7g is ineffably different from both. I find high doses of both LSD and psilocin to be very useful. I would suggest you give 3.5g a try and make sure you break the shrooms up into small bits or even powder them and take a vitamin C pill with some orange juice when you eat them. Personally, I haven't experienced a spiritually significant dose anywhere below 3 strong hits or 4.5gs of mushies, but I've heard of people having them with eighths and it sounds like you're more sensitive given your past positive single hit experiences. Good luck! :D

2C-I is not that exciting revelation-wise. For me, anyway.

I'd say be careful but dose mushrooms appropriately, involve some nature in the trip and read up on some meditative concepts to help you with contemplation. In any case, in the beginning there is no knowing when hard or hilarious lessons will be learned, just set yourself free.. open up.. and let it happen!

You don't necessarily need more shrooms to get the trip you want. Set and setting are both important to the trip, and can alter the experience greatly. I've found that tripping in social situations makes me feel a lot more fucked up, especially when I try to hold it together hah. But I wouldn't say that those experiences have been negative.

Or if you're simply talking about elevating/upping the trip, try going out to the woods and wandering around the trails, that's always great fun. I would highly recommend bringing about 1/8 of dank pot and a pack of Camel Krush (I don't really smoke cigs normally but mint tastes great when your tripping) cigs. Both cigs and pot do a great job of making a trip more intense and fun, but they can also serve to calm you down.

thanks everyone! tottay agree with upping my normal dosage. lsd i had was veryyy potent all from the same sourse. so i think thats why possibly the shrooms jus leave the body high and visuals. as for the 2c. tho i havent tried it yet form wha ive heard it seems like a better mdma companion than a enlightenment.
