[Mushrooms Subthread] First time Shrooming

[Ramirez]

It's what I've become accustomed to saying when I want an eighth. I live in Pittsburgh, and I know the word "a cut" to describe an eighth of an ounce is unique to this area. It also means slice of pizza.

I'm kinda pumped to do these shrooms. I'm waiting until about 2 hours before sunset because they take about an hour and fifteen minutes - two hours to actually kick in, and I want them to kick in as the sun sets so that I have about 4 hours to trip balls and see the night sky.

probably going to get merged...

Correct Nostradamus is correct.

First time shrooms...

Alone, at home during the day.....
good or bad idea?
Never done psychs before, I get extreme anxiety and paranoia after smoking weed.
thats the closes mind altering drug i've done besides MDMA.

what do you guys think?

 

[DynoSpec]

why not have a good friend around to trip with you?

low dose might not be a bad idea (.5-1g) but i would have a benzo on hand in case you get alot of anxiety.
they might exacerbate your anxiety

 

[cryptix420]

Psychs are definitely not for everyone, and things can get dicey pretty quick when you get more trippin' than you bargained for.

Just prepare/educate yourself. Erowid, Shroomery, Google, etc. I did mushrooms alone the first few times I did them, and I had a fantastic time.

As for the anxiety and paranoia, those could be quite detrimental to any psychedelic. The mushroom come up is already laden with anxiet by default, and when you're tripping it'll probably feel like everone knows (your eyes get damn huge)

Don't be expecting anything even the slightest bit similar to MDMA. (Unless we're talking how big your eyes get).

Oh, & download some Shpongle & Boards of Canada, they're hand in hand with the shroomsperience for me.

i find that while i do have alot of fun tripping with ppl, i always go off onmy own at some point to be outside. i think when youre alone you have more of a spiritual, meaningful trip

 

[Bardeaux]

I also get intense anxiety sometimes on weed but not so much on mushrooms. Infact, I feel really relaxed on mushies. It sounds like you're set, but I wouldnt go over 2g for your first time. Also sitting outside can be pretty nice.

 

[amapola]

The only thing I would say is outside is better. The only hallucinogen I regularly take is Salvia, and I wouldn't dream of doing it anywhere without sunshine and a fresh breeze just in case I have to put the scary green lady in her place. That being said I've taken LSD inside at night during parties before but have always found the need to head outside. Something about being in a building while tripping is just haunting and foreign.

[xriest]

so howd it go???????? :d

it went great...
I got anxious and paranoid like I would on pot but that all passed after the first hour.
I laid on my bed the entire time watching the walls move and change color, and started thinking about my life.....
pretty amazing stuff.

 

[madswagga]

ya bro, psychedelics are amazing.

trip and live life

First time shroomssss

What do you recommend for a good experience?

 

[rincewindrocks]

that you UTFSE

 

[mydeepestblue]

I get that I can use it but I want advice beyond being in a good environment and being in the right mindset

 

[rincewindrocks]

www.erowid.org read some experience reports

really though, set, setting, and proper dosage are the most important things

and by the way, there is plenty of good advice beyond what i just said already in threads here

 

[Solipsis]

Indeed, you are asking a pretty non-specific question and dismiss the 12 pages of discussion that exists already based on people asking the SAME non-specific question or even ones that are?

You obviously aren't the first to ask this - honestly it's not a problem. But it would be even less of a problem if you would post in a pre-existing thread, it would feel more cooperative. I'd be grateful for future reference and by the way I am not trying to piss vinegar. But for anyone who reads this: I can't think of a valid enough argument to create a new thread for an old topic besides the special feeling of having your own thread or if it's so specific that it can start its own life. :D

Rock on.
Oh and I might be a little jealous that you still have your initiation headed before you. It's wild!

tl;dr - merged

Just eat em. Then come back and type out the answers to all the questions you will have then so others can benefit.

:D

Seriously though, just eat em.

Shrooms, 1st time (170lbs)

Im around 170 pounds and I want to try shrooms. I want to experience the universe the way it was meant to be experienced. I want to feel connected to it entirely. I was thinking about doing an eight since I want to feel it REALLY good. How much should I take?
