One evening in Dam I will try Magic truffles Advice

[TranceRaver]

Going to Dam this week with a bunch of lads, going to smoke all day but of the late evening I want to try Magic Truffles. Im new to Psychadelics yet I am a regular pot smoker. any suggestions where to take it.


The last meal of the day will be at 7pm and will take truffles around 10pm as I have heard the high is dampened when food has been consumed prior with ex
I heard you have to both be in a good frame of mind so I was thinking consuming 7-10grams and wait half hour and walk around Amsterdam of an evening and eventually going back to my room for a smoke n chill

Is this a real plan or will I melt and make general tit out of myself in public. or should I be in a safe environment.

Random question, does it make your face/eyes look wierd?

Any advice would be useful!

Thanks

Don't combine it with weed, alcohol or other drugs the first time, that makes it a lot stronger and without previous experience potentially too confusing. Especially in a strange city / country. Start with 1/2 to 3/4 of a dose they sell. A full dose is more something for going very deep or for another set and setting that you can rely on.

Make sure you first find a safe environment that is also entertaining, not cramped, and where you can stay at least until the trip wears off. I am having a hard time coming up with an example but it would work if you couchsurfed and found someone open to you tripping.
Unless you can make proper arrangements tripping in a strange city is unpredictable and potentially unsafe. If you stay indoors it is easier to feel a bit stuck or trapped, or well at least you can expect the experience to go inward a lot more and you need to learn to deal with that on the spot. Going outside can produce inappropriate behavior which is not handy with busy traffic and the overstimulation of MANY people.
Tripping out in public is not really a great idea, if you do it I would only venture out starting from a safe place like your room. Only I imagine your room is quite cramped and there is no real individual privacy if you need it. Normally I would suggest waiting until you have peaked or the peak is just and then seeing if you feel okay stepping out into the world.

Whatever you do, be careful not to trip without someone watching you and making the right decisions if you end up in a tight spot.

I think you can expect getting an expression on your face that is full of wonder and a range of strong varying emotions, also confusion.. and enlarged pupils.

Obviously you will not be the first drug tourist to come here, and most of the time the worst that can happen is that people get scary or difficult experiences. I am spotting problems for you so that you won't have to come up with them yourself but if you think it through and decide to take them, it is good to just let go and don't worry. You can be happy for the sake of happiness instead of fearing fear itself.

^^ excellent answer solipsis as always.
I wouldn't recommend tripping your first time in a city you've never been before (even if it could well be the best experience of your life), and staying in an hotel room could be very limitating.
definitely don't mix it with pot, you might be fine smoking lots of pot on its own, but mixed with a psychedelic it will be a different story (IME just a few hits will only add confusion and a paranoid edge, wich is easy to handle with a small quantity but if you smoke a lot it can change the trip dramatically).

I would say mixing with a SMALL quantity of alcohol is fine, one or two beers can actually help taking the edge off, just don't overdo it).
definitely keep a benzo at hand if you have access to them (just having a chill pill in your pocket will reassure you).

Have you ever taken mushrooms before? The first couple of hours you'd be better off staying in your room until you're fully high and comfortable. After that go for a stroll if you think you'll be safe and compos mentis.

I used to live in Amsterdam. They should print this post out and give it to all the kids as they step off the plane at Schiphol.

By the way, in Amsterdam EVERYONE knows you are tripping/too stoned. More than anywhere else I've been in the world. And they are silently judging you, and it takes all the fun out of it.

I haven't been there in a bit, but a couple of places that are pretty tourist-tripper-friendly:
Conscious Dreams on Warmoesstraat, a smartshop with a zone in the back for people to chill and try out their purchases
Electric Lady Land in the Jordaan, it's an art project/museum of fluorescent art and minerals

i found amsterdam good to shop for such things but it really is uninvating even to smoke and tripping i think will be very unpleasent atleast for me.
only drug i enjoyed in the city was kratom and alcohol because they make you not care.
when i smoked i was just waiting for me to get sober again
