hello there bluelighters! i am a pretty new member. i have read these forums and many of the interesting threads that have been posted on here for a while. i have no experience with any real hallucinogenic drugs. the only drugs i have consumed are ecstasy and cannabis. i am just wondering what mushrooms were like. i read the effects and all but that doesnt do it. i had a hook up for an eighth of shrooms but it was expensive so i am still waiting for a cheaper connection. i am young but i believe i am a deep thinker.

i think about many things in the future and about life itself. i have never talked about it really to anybody but i sometimes get these thoughts about life thinking about why are we here and those things. you live life and you die but do you retain the things you experience in life? what happens when you die? does all of this matter? is there a god of some sort? is there an end to our existence or is time something humans have just created to keep track of things and if we are existing forever in a spiritual afterlife. it hurts my head trying to imagine an eternity x.x i want to explore my mind and see what else i am capable of. i really believe i am now ready for my first mushroom trip. i am curious to see what it is like psychologically and visuals wouldnt be too bad either :P. (ive had some crazy visuals on mdma but i bet it doesnt compare to mushrooms)

i always have those trains of thought about life and i get this helplessness feeling that feels like nobody can help me and that im just existing and when i die it will be over. i cant imagine what its like to not exist but i have many of these thoughts and i wonder if mushrooms can change the way i think about life and all of these other things i want to know about mushrooms like the mental effects it has and so on.... i have always been interested in doing mushrooms :P welll theres my first post :)

I know how you feel, and if there's one thing I've learned about my experiences with psychadelics (my psychadelic experience goes as far as MDMA and one low dose trip with shrooms, and recently ketamine), you can never really know what to expect. It's so radically different from every day life that there's generally no frame of reference, some experience that you can compare it to. If you have read up on the effects, and you feel you're ready, you just have to go for it.
 
You sound like mushrooms are up your street, they will certainly stimulate those big philosophical thoughts. But you need to be aware that it's a powerful, intense experience that will be totally different to anything you have ever experienced before in your life. By all means go for it, but just be cautious, especially with dosing. My first trip turned out to be a little ambitious with regard to that aspect, just treat the drug with the respect it deserves.
I find mushrooms to be more introspective than other psychedelics, and also more confusing to some extent. The trip is usually characterised at first, for me, by a sensation of something intangible being different from normal, and then by my train of thoughts becoming more and more rapid until the ideas seem to crash into each other uncontrollably. Expect giggling, bemusement, and muted, gentle visual effects.
 
^^^ thanks for that post that gives me a little more info on what to expect... if i had psylicybin cubes how many should i eat? i know its hard to give me an accurate guess but i had an eighth before but i never did it because my parents came home early.... my 8th came in mostly caps and stems and i wasnt sure how many to eat. and i dont have a metric scale -.-
 
My first time was 55g of fresh mexicans. That's too much. I'd advise you to start out with somewhere between a gram and 1/16-divide your mushrooms into 2 or 3 piles depending on how cautious you want to be. Chew them thoroughly and on an empty stomach if you want them to kick in faster. Some people drink orange juice with it, and claim that it aids absorption, but I wouldn't bother. You can always eat more if you want, just wait until the effects have reached a comfortable plateau.
 
There are many words we could say to get you to know what to expect, but really, tripping cannot be understood without experiencing it. Expect an experience wildly different, curious, incredibly powerful and simultaneously vulnerable for the same reason it is powerful. Expect everything to lose its definitions and boundaries, including your ego. Expect logic to twist to the point that the words "yes, no, and maybe all at the same time" make perfect sense.
I think it would help you to have an intelligent friend to talk to. Whether this person is tripping or not I think should be left up to them, unless you need to be driven somewhere. It will likely be a great bonding experience with this person.
Also, have a notebook, writing utensil, and some way to draw or paint. Even if you do not regularly make art, you may very well be surprised at what you can and want to do.
