~SHROOMS~... Dosage, recipies, etc.

[PartyVicksen]

Simply a post about shrooms. *doy*
Hypothetically speaking, if I had a half of shrooms, and I knew they were very good shrooms.... How would you suggest I take them in order to achieve the highest amount of pleasure? Last time I tripped (which was also the first time), we split an eighth and made tea for 5 people. I didnt trip as hard as I would've liked to... so just asking for some suggestions. Also like to have some tips/tricks/fun things to do that you kids have experienced. When I did it I had a date with a tree for 5 hours. DO SHARE!!!

I've never had a problem just chewing up and swallowing the shrooms with some crackers. Any kind of preparation seems you might risk not getting the full amount of psilocybin present. Some people get a little nausea from eating them, or dislike the taste. If you don't have either of those problems, just chew up and swallow them.

Are these dried shrooms? Everyones dosages seem so fucked up bluelight. Where I'm from, eating an eighth of shrooms is pretty insane. Like people never do that, unless its by accident (ie. My first time). Maybe we just have really potent mush, i dunno. I've seen people go comepleatly nuts on 2 grams.

If they're really potent, sometimes a 1/2 eighth is plenty...A whole eighth and you will trip pretty hard.
The hardest I ever tripped off of mushrooms was when I brewed some tea using a quarter and split the brew three ways...Wow is all I have to say.
As far as splitting tea with 5 people from an eighth? That doesn't sound like you would have tripped very hard.

I tripped pretty damn hard from 4 grams with 2 other friends...
What we did was to get a mug of water for each of us, pour into a saucepan so we had just enough brew (plus a little more cos some water evaporates) and simmered on the cooker for 20 mins. I came up within 5 mins after downing the tea in one, and I had a pretty mental ride! Shrooms were very strong!

The worst experience I've ever had with shrooms was when I took a half an eight and crushed it up into a fine powder, then I bought caps of valerian extract for like $8 at rite aid and emptied out the caps and filled them up with the shrooms. I did this because even the smell of shrooms makes me nautious and I didn't wanna puke up what I paid for. So I took the half-eight in pill form (this was the 2nd time I used this method, the first being a week prior and it was fun as hell) well this time the shrooms were different and from the beginning it was bad, even the come up fealt dirty. Well about two hours into the experience I smoked some buds and then I experienced the worst trip I've ever had. Mind you I've had bad trips on acid and salvia prior to this. Basically I had full ego dissolution combined with the most realistic visuals I have ever seen (reality faded away and all I saw was visuals, I couldn't see my room myself or anything but my halucinations) and almost killed myself and some other people. That was the last time I did shrooms and I never plan on doing them again. But anyway be *VERY* carefull if you plan on taking a half an Oz. Shrooms can be really nasty if you over do them.

I woudnt reccomend brewing tea with the shrooms unless you have alot and dont mind wasting some of it...
3 - 4 grammes of ok shrooms gets me nicely shroomified..

all this thing about what dosage to take - it depends entirely on what species the shrooms are. for example, the 'liberty caps' that are common here in the uk are very potent - you only need 1g to have a strong trip. the common mexican shrooms you need about 3g to get the same effects. there are even stronger ones than liberty caps - 'azurens'? i think there is a comparison table on erowid (or one of the other top drug sites).

People, stop boiling your mushrooms! For the love of mushrooms, stop, stop, stop

Shroom Tea does work but..... It does destroy quite a bit of the active compounds in mushrooms.. Often shroom Tea gets you high faster since you are drinking a hot drink, but the trip is most always shorter in duration and usually not as intense..
It is recommended eating mushrooms as they are. mjshroomer recommends eating them over a 20 minute period... Then after about an hour ingesting even more to ensure you have a long trip.
I did this and I had almost 7hrs worth of tripping, thats by far the longest mushroom trip I've ever taken.. Near the end of the trip I was starting to wonder if I'd ever come down

So the moral of this story, DO NOT BOIL MUSHROOMS. Thank you, that is all
