Hello I really would like to try shrooms and she what the psychedelic potential can benefit me. However, I tend to still be overwhelmed with some of the stronger marijuana highs I experience. Am I not ready for shrooms? Is it risky mentally for me to try em if i am having some difficulties with weed?
 
Haven't tried them yet so there are others better qualified to answer your question. But I recommend starting with one gram to test the waters. Very light dose. If that's too much, stay away, or build up to it with less intense drugs.

I've never heard of mushrooms being dangerous. They can put you through intense experiences, but your only concern with them is like going on a really fast rollercoaster. Might be absolutely terrifying, but you're strapped in and nothing's going to happen to you.

You might just be very sensitive to weed. Same isn't necessarily true for other psychoactives.

Shrooms are good for you. Eat them. Start low dose and work your way up = no problems.
 
Jorge12692 - I am not the best on marijuana. In fact i can only enjoy marijuana when i eat it in cookies etc, i have finally realised after many attempts that smoking it just isn't for me, it fucks my head up too much in a way i don't enjoy. I can smoke small amounts and enjoy it, but yeah with me and smoking marijuana it can be quite easy for me to go from enjoying it to not at all and regretting having any.

But then in saying that, i am confident to say i am a good tripper on everything else. I LOVE mushrooms more than any psychedelic ever.... I don't feel weird on them at all like marijuana can make me feel.... complete different trip.

Don't let your experiences with marijuana effect your judgment of shrooms.
seriously???...just eat all of your shrooms on a empty stomach and then thank me tomorrow.

I don't agree with this statement ... don't have them on a empty stomach, your stomach needs something in it to withstand the trip from my personal experience. Have a light fresh meal with fresh products like salads and healthy meat or whatever an hour before you have the shrooms. You will thank ME for that later.

And I disagree with that one.

Psychedelics are always better on an empty stomach for me. Always.
 
In my experiences, I haven't noticed much of a difference between taking mushrooms on an empty stomach as opposed to having eaten something prior. Though, I haven't taken mushrooms without using the lemon tek for quite some time, now. And I don't really eat all that much.
My best advice to OP is to start with about 1 - 1.5g. Eat them an hour and a half before sunset. You'll have an amazing time.
 
I'd say keep smoking weed for another year then your ready hahah, my first shroomy experience was EXTREMELY INTENSE. be careful but ENJOY
 
Do you know what kind of mushrooms you're getting? if not, where are you located geographically speaking.

Find out what you're having and then go here to work out how hard you want to trip. I recommend level 2~2.5 for a first time. If you're strong minded then even 3.

The difference in potency of P. Subaeruginosa, P. Cubensis and P. Semilanceata are vast and a certain dosage for Cubensis might produce mild effects in comparison to intense effects from Subaeruginosa.
 
everything said above, and:

you might be a LOT more sluggish / lethargic than your expecting. don't take them in a place that you can't
a) get comfortable, possibly lay down
b) be by yourself if need be (the flip side to this is its also a good idea to have an experienced sitter)
c) be warmed up if need be (mushrooms often make you temperature sensitive)

other than that, start small (2gs or so, but depends heavily on your strain) and enjoy!

well really, if you have to ask such questions, i personally dont think you ve done enough research on them, or at least read a biginners guide to mushrooms or similar threads.
mj highs are quite different from mushrooms at any level.
when you are ready for them is only a personal decision. you will know yourself, dont expect internet forum people to tell you.
Mental risk? perhaps, but again, this is very dose dependent and depends on what the starting position is. if you have a history of mental instability it might be a good idea to steer clear of psychedelics.

my advice: read about them, know them, start low and wait for a proper set and setting.
 
Actually ^^ listen to kingme. You should do lots of research before you even decide whether it's right for you.

:|.....no you trip better if you eat on a empty stomach (and i don't mean like starve yourself for a week empty)

serously eat 2 grams and get ready8o
 
Just fast a couple hours before, don't do 12 hours, you will be exhausted! Your brain is working its ass off during your trip and needs glucose. Your brain can only function on glucose and the neurons cannot store it for use later like other cells in your body. Eat a good hearty meal the morning of your trip, high in complex carbohydrates and protein to keep your insulin levels from spiking out of control. This will keep free floating glucose high in your bloodstream without the triggers (insulin) for your cells to store glucose.

Apples and pineapple for me mid mushroom trip are unbelievable. I swear in those moments to never eat another item. My brain is telling me something. The fructose is immediate brain fuel.

Start at 1.5 grams and work your way up! Please consider your setting strongly. My worst trips have been when I neglected to trip in a comfortable setting.
 
There are people that don't handle weed that good but can handle mushrooms and other psychs just fine just start at a low dose.

I haven't ever noticed i trip better when i eat them on a empty stomach, and i have tripped haaaaaps of times, both - on empty stomachs and when i have eaten something an hour or so before hand. I have found the recovery a lot better too if i have fed myself before hand. We're all different and i guess i do have a bit of a more tender stomach than some people so for me; and id say other people in the same situation find it better to have a light healthy meal an hour (or so) before hand. No less, so it's not like i am telling them to have them on a FULL stomach. I personally recommend having something light in the belly though.

There's no wrong or right when it comes to this, it all depends on the individual. But i have seen friends not feel too good when they have had psyches on a empty stomach, and they have struggled a bit afterward. I am funny about doing anything on a empty stomach now days, but i am hitting 30 :p

Yep - stop thinking about it i say and just eat some. Make sure you're with people you trust, in a comfortable environment, have some nangs on hand... some easy to access food if needed, water, alcohol, ginger tea (if you feel crook) and just eat them! Start low, go from there. Have fun!
