i am going to take shrooms for my first time soon, i am not concerned about the taste at all, but my stomach is quite weak and i read they can make you nauseous. Are there any tips or tricks to avoid this or should i just be sick and have a good trip?

a bit more about the settings that might have an affect. taking 2 grams and wasn't gonna smoke anything. got good surroundings of rapeseed fields and classic english countryside. I am not very experienced with psychedelics, but i have taken LSD, which i loved but found really intense so im hoping shrooms will be really euphoric.

peace
 
For your first time especially just go easy on the dosage.

As far as the nausea - it's more of a body load/nausea and you wont necessarily vomit, though some people can. If you just take a medium dose you should be right. The stronger the dose = the stronger the body load = more nausea.

What specie are you planning on having? What's the general recommended dose?

Another thing about the nausea - it can generally pass as the shrooms settle in. You may fart, or need to run to the toilet :D but whatever man, just go with it. It's all part of it and if you just go with it all you'll cope better. If you tend to feel a bit crook during the trip, you'll still enjoy the trip.. i recommend having plenty of water near by :) The visuals and general euphoric feeling may outweigh the slight nausea :)

It all really depends - but like i said, start of on a light dose - go from there. Just see how your body reacts at first. I have known people to roll around on the ground in nausea agony on just the smallest dose because their body just doesn't cope. If you are sensitive, definitely take them with care.

Chewing up the shrooms very well before swallowing can help with the nausea. I am someone who is quite prone to nausea and when I chew my shrooms up to a paste consistency I got no sickness at all. This is not an easy task, however, if you don't like the taste of psilos...
 
tea usually gets nausea problems out of the way for most people. the problem is shroom cell wall material (chitin) is not digestible by our systems, so it is necessary to cook all fungal matter before ingestion for minimal gastric upset.

if you can find them fresh, the taste is far better than dried (although the chitin is the same) and the texture is much easier to chew.

the nausea from shrooms is nothing in comparison to the body load that most phenethylamines give on their come-ups.
 
I actually had no problems with 3.5 grams whatsoever. I think it was because my stomach was almost full, as I'd eaten dinner about an hour before I shroomed. Might be different for various people. I actually enjoyed the taste.
 
i have been lead to believe by my friends that 2 grams of psilocybe cubensis is a lowish dose as they are taking 3.5, but are more experienced.

i think i will go with the tea as that sounds tasty (especially as a korean friend brought me some amazing green tea), easy and effective. taking inspiration from the slackbaba song 'drink more tea'!

hopefully if i do then feel sick i will just be sick and feel okay or as you say the nausea will be outweighed by the euphoria.

cheers everyone, im feeling confident about it and looking forward to opening my third eye again x

2 grams is a good dose to start with. 3.5 is what I'd consider a pretty high dose, but it's reasonable for someone who's experienced.

Mushroom tea is absolutely the best way to avoid nausea.

2 grams is a pretty good dose for a first time I'd say. My first time on mushrooms I did 2.5 and that was perfect.

When making the tea try using a ginger tea bag along with the mushrooms.. it helps with digestion and can ease an upset stomach a lot. Tastes great too :)
 
just man up and take them bro. they taste kinda like stale crackers or non salted pumpkin seeds. really not at all bra
 
If you have any problems with nausea from psychedelics and it worries you, I have accidentally on purpose discovered a medication that is a bit of a "golden bullet" on this issue. It is a dopamine D2 antagonist called metaclopramide. Way better than bloody motion sickness pills and it doesn't take anything away from the trip for me. It is a prescription-only medication in the UK but is commonly prescribed for migraine-associated nausea (which is what I am prescribed it for). Regular long-term use can cause movement disorders such as tardive dyskinesia but taking it occasionally with a sicky psych isn't going to cause any more problems than taking it for the occasional migraine. If you are really worried about getting sick on 'shrooms then it may be time to come down with sudden "migraine" problems and visit your doctor, lol.

Peace, Ethnobot
 
@ ishroom im not worried about the taste at all in fact im quite looking forward to it. i just wanted to try to stop myself being sick so that i have a better trip.
@ethnobot thats quite a cheeky find, nice one. probably really useful to lots of people. however, i am not worried about the nausea enough to go to those lengths when im sure i will be fine, but cheers

ill get some ginger tea and put it in my "tin-tin" tin stash also i will try out having a slight break in between doses that sounds logical

oh and im doing it when a friend has a free house so not for another week or so incase people are wondering why i havent said what worked or whatever

again, thanks everyone and looking forward to opening my third eye
peace
 
Chop them finely, put them in some orange juice and pound it. The orange juice potentiates the trip i believe, and you cant taste a thing.
 
im guessing thats a similar idea to mixing with lemon juice, which i was told begins the chemical reaction that happens in your stomach of turning the chemical compound into the active agent giving you a slightly shorter but more intense trip?
i liked the idea of trying them the basic way first, but cheers and sorry for any ignorance on my part x
