honestly, I reckon it sounds like a mean time. ideally i'd say don't do it for your first trip, but I had my first shroom trip kick in while watching spiderman 3 in the cinema.
had just gone picking before the movie and was eating them as the movie started. had probably 1.5-2 grams of ps. subauerginosa. I could feel them coming on just as peter parker was strutting down the street in that wierd jazzy scene in the middle of it and was like 'wtf this doesn't seem like spiderman???' the rest o the movie was thoroughly hillarious, although I do think I attracted a bit of attention trying to stifle my fit of giggles through the supposedly sad scene at the end where XXXXXXX dies. after the movie finished we all ditched town and cavorted in the botanical gardens =D

so yeah, as long as you're of a fairly calm disposition just have a fairly low dose and you should be all good.
 
Okay, so I've done LSD three times now (well two, tonight's gonna be my third time.) My first time was two Fridays ago, on the 12th, and it was on one tab, and I had two friends sober sitting me at my house. I didn't have any visuals - unless I started as a wall long enough, only then would it start to slightly breathe - but it was a good insight into the drug. I guess it was a weak tab.

My second time was this Sunday the 24th. After raving all night and rolling hard off of two pills which I spread out during the night, I took my first acid tab at 6:30 AM at my friend's fry and roll party which he threw that night. It hit me pretty hard and I had very noticeable breathing. At about 11 AM I took two more tabs and the breathing got a little more intense, and that's when colors - mainly red, green, and blue - would jump out of everything, and everything was very "electric." Also, I would see patterns if I would stare at things long enough.

Tonight I'm going to take four tabs at once.

Now I got my hands on an eight of gold caps, and after a lot of research, I don't know what the exact species is, Erowid says "Panaeolus cyanescens - gold caps," but Wikipedia calls "Psilocybe cubensis" gold caps, but anyway, how much should I take? Should mt "experience" with LSD be enough that I should be able to take the whole bag?

Another question, I know this is like comparing apples to oranges, but, let's just say that each tab I'm taking tonight has 100 ug of LSD, so tonight I'll be taking 400 ug of LSD. Assuming I handle it well, which I know I will ;), to roughly how many shrooms does that compare to?

[EDIT]

Also, are shrooms the same as acid in the sense that your tolerance builds immediately? I know they share cross tolerance, so don't worry about mentioning it. But my question is as follows:

If you take one tab of acid right now, then two more an hour or two later, you won't trip as hard as if you took all three at the same time. Does the same apply to shrooms?

So I took the four tabs of acid, and boy was it fun! Intense, but fun. I ended up candyflipping, and it's like entering a whole new world of amazing!!!

I have another question. I plan on rolling Saturday the 13th (I know, I just rolled, but from there I don't plan on rolling until March 20th.) If I shroom on the day before on the 12th, will it have any affect at all on my roll?

Thanks!

Absolutely amazing, and probably the greatest experience I've had on shrooms. It completely blew my mind. I wasn't ready at all for that kind of trip. I loved it. And miss it haha
 
How are shrooms similar to mdma?

I will be trying shrooms in a few months for the first time, and I've been reading up on a lot of shroom threads on BL to prepare myself.

I read from quite a few people that the body high can be similar to the body high you get when you're rolling. Is that true? And also, if the body high is similar, does that mean that you roll your eyes back when you're shrooming? I roll my eyes back when I'm on e no matter how much I take, and I was wondering if that can happen with shrooms. Also, do you look sober when you're on shrooms? There won't be any problems with me having to look sober, don't worry, but I'm just curious.

Another question, would it be ok to take shrooms on a Friday then take mdma on Saturday? Do shrooms give you a comedown the next day?

Thank you!
 
I dont find the body high of shrooms to be quite like mdma.
There are similarities though. Both make me feel lethargic or "dopey." Both often make me vomit or a little nauseas on the come up.
Other than that i cant think of anymore. The mdma body high is much more pleasant and sexy in my opinion.

On high doses of mushrooms my eyes have rolled back but on regular doses that has never happened, where as im much more sensitive to that effect with mdma.

As far as looking sober...
you will definately look more sober than one does while rolling.
And rolling the day after tripping should be fine.

Im going to merge his with [Mushrooms Subthread] First time Shrooming.
 
Split an eighth halfway. At three you won't get much but some CEV (closed eye visuals) and the body load. Some of the cognitive effects, I'm sure... but honestly even early in my frying 'career' I definitely found that little to do not a lot more than make me feel 'weird' for about six hours. Split the eighth for sure.
 
First time shrooming tonight

Hello, I am truth and this is my first post here. I'm looking for a little shroom help. So in a little bit my boy is coming over with some shrooms he just picked up, he's selling me a quarter. Any suggestions you guys have for me? Or any preparations I should take before doing them. What should I expect? This will be my first time I am pretty excited been waiting to get some. Thanks in advance.
 
Well I was told the more I take the better but i'll prob start off with a 8th and hopefully work my way to the whole quarter. Is that a bad idea?
 
yes. for your first time i would suggest your start with HALF the 1/8th and work your way up to the 1/8th. save the other 1/8th for next time.
 
id say an eighth. the only time i ever shroomed i ate 2g, and was somewhat disappointed, especially after i tried LSD.
 
I would suggest 2g starting off

I have used mushrooms and other psychedelics quite a bit and would consider myself very experienced. I have had 3.5g trips that have made me absolutely melt

That said, if you have experience with other psychedelics, you might be OK stepping out to an 8th. But mushrooms are unlike any other psychedelic in that they can really mind-fuck a new user who isnt experienced

Either way, good luck and positive vibes
 
get some LSD my friend, fi you dont like shrooms. IMO LSD>Shrooms. Be prepared, shrooms seem to have a heavy heavy body load that LSD doesnt have.
 
imo shrooms are quite playful and visual, and don't have much body load.

lsd gave me too much introspection to be enjoyable.
 
If you take 2 grams youll feel connected to nature and the people around you immensely, rooms will kind of look longer/higher on one side like theyre being stretched and distances look far youlls laugh your ass off, feel completely comfortable, the ceiling may ripple or twirl kind of a little bit or the sky and lights will look very vibrant as everything else does and i find most times in light things look kind of orangey at night but not really orange it's really hard to explain but you wont have a full on trip itll be over in 4-5 hours and best way if you cant take the taste is to put them with peanut butter on bread and you cant taste them at all. doing lower dose shrooms is really what i expected mdma to be like because of the bonding/openess it inspires and how good the little rushes are and touching yourself but youll definitely enjoy it
 
In terms of a ROA, I suggest grinding them up in a coffee grinder if one is available and mixing them into a glass of orange juice. Tasteless.
 
I would just eat em straight up. I did that..its best to just get used to the ASS taste. I just chewed em a bit, and took a swig of a drink to wash em down (theyre kinda hard to chew, you know, chewy, they dont seem to break into pieces easy when chewing em)
 
Yea they won't break in your mouth and they often have little grits of sand and dirt and taste pretty shitty lol
