personally, i can definetly tell the differences between strains, and its not like im just guessing. there are clear differences in the trips. ive tripped on mushies more times than i can count or remember, most of them self grown. and ecuadorian is my favorite strain

I am fairly sure that the maoi you take would indeed make the trip different. By making it stronger. I know that most maoi's do this to tryptamines, which psilocybin is.

So do some more research about it before you dose.
It SHOULD effect the trip, but I'm no scientist so...

search "MAOI Mushrooms" on here or google.


be safe

Tryptamines are normally metabolised by MAO-A. That is why using MAO-A inhibitors like harmala alkaloids makes DMT orally active and boosts the effects of mushrooms. Selegiline on the other hand is a (mostly) selective MAO-B inhibitor. MAO-B metabolises phenethylamines. Selegiline though also weakly inhibits MAO-A in larger doses, which is why I was concerned about the interaction with mushrooms. I posted in the off chance that somebody tried the combination and can comment on the effects. If not I'm going to try it myself in a couple of weeks anyway :)
 
Mixing speed and mushrooms?

I love mushrooms but while on them i sometimes find myself wishing I had a little more energy...Just wondering if anyone has tried mixing a small amount (100mg or so) of speed with mushrooms, and if so, how did you find it? At what point did you take each substance? Was it an experience you'd like to repeat?
 
I Can't imagine them going together well, i've seen people mix speed with many things and psychadelics do not seem to be a wise choice...

Even if you don't usually get much paranoia from speed, I wouldn't advise it. I've seen huge guys pretty much have mental breakdowns..
 
Will rip your tits off...

Did it once many years ago and the ride up is like nothing I'd ever experienced (now I can say it's on a par with IM DPT), quite scary in places. My vision was like when the colour guns go out of alignment on a TV I could see a red green & blue image of my friend all moving/vibrating independantly about his body.

While in the end it proved to be enjoyable, I don't think I'd ever repeat the experience as it was a little to anxiety prone in the 1st 60 minutes (but psilocybin always gives me anxiety anyway)
 
mushrooms (low/medium dose) and methamphetamine (insufflated/smoked) were enjoyable but this was when binging on methamphetamine - ie didnt know what the f was going on.

I wouldn't recommend it. I tried it a few months ago mushrooms (low dose) +amphetamine (oral) and it was really really really nerve wracking. Maybe I'm just more sensitive now.
 
Shrooms

When I tried it for the first time I didnt have the famous closed-eyed visuals even when I was in a dark place with only 1 lamp on. Is this normal? I was thinking it would be like DXM but I may be wrong about that. What I felt the most was a full buzzing in my body concentrated only in the stomach resulting in moments of laughter but apart from that nothing.
Just wanted to see you're views.
 
every experince for every person with every drug will have subtle(or not so subtle) differences. some people dont even get visuals at all from psychedelics in reasonable doses. i wouldnt give up just yet though. look at it this way... if the mushrooms have something to show you you will see it... also it is nothing like DXM 10000000000000000000000000000000 scientific notation to the 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times better than DXM plus no brain damage!
 
I agree, maybe I shouldnt have mentioned dxm , cause its not at all the same, but when I heard ppl talking about the visuals it only 'looked' like the same visuals as when on dxm.
I dont really know how much I took though, maybe 4-5 dried shrooms, I have no idea if thats even a big or low dose, I know I shouldov checked it out before , but that was an experience I had maybe 1 year ago or more.
 
The visuals I get in a dark room from DXM are overwhelming, I cant avoid them. This is not always the case for me with Mushrooms.

Next time you trip, try turning off the lights completely, then try to relax so that you can see those purple, green, blue, red, ect colors that you see at night in complete darkness even when sober (not everyone notices them, but if you do, you know what Im talking about). Concentrate on them a bit, but at the same time, dont concentrate. Try to let your mind wander... its like meditating.



Also, Mabye you need a higher dose?
 
Yea I know what ur talking about ;)
as for the dose of DXM I'm not sure what dosage I took, 3/4 of full cough syrup
 
Start paying attention to dosages. You can wind up in dangerous territory if you just blindly eat mushrooms. Ask your provider how much it should take to trip and weigh it out. typical dosage is 1/16 - 1/8 ounce dried but many experienced users go higher than that.
 
Try a 3.5 in a dark room with some good tunes playing then just try to relax as much as possible. The more you are relaxed the better the visuals in my experience. Like pedaltopedal said, just try to focus yet at the same time dont try too hard, just observe the experience. With experience you'll learn how to get the most out of your trips and eventually control where you want to go.

Mushrooms never really give me full blown in your face closed eye visuals even at doses of 5 grams in the dark. Its more like I have the notion of a scenery in the back on my head , like my attention is in two places at the same time, you'll know what I mean when you get there.
 
open and closed eye visuals, for me at least, are far more rare on mushrooms, than DXM(I chose to compare the 2 because you mentioned DXM in your post, their, in fact, quite different). Although I welcome visuals, I'm usually not expecting them unless I know for sure I've taken high quality mushrooms. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying visuals are hard to induce, I'm just saying mushrooms tend to be more of a body high, for me at least. I have definately had visuals on mushrooms, ranging from breathing walls, to smoking a blunt with the trees at my local park, but if your going into the trip expecting to see all kinds of crazy shit, you may me dissapointed.
Be aware of what dose you are taking, weigh your shrooms before you take them, and make sure they are completely dried out, in order to get a proper weight. A typical low dose is anywhere from 2g-4g. Nowadays, I wouldn't even consider taking less than 3.5g, since my next shroom trip will be my 9th.
Oh, and in regards to your previous post about DXM dosage, be VERY CAREFUL, you stated you simply drank 3/4 of a bottle, not knowing how many mgs were in each bottle. This is not a habit you want to develop, even a DXM only syrup containes sweeteners, thickeners, and lots of other bullshit your not sure how your body will react to.

Another thing to think about, dissociatives are especially known for their CEVs, whereas so called "classic" psychs like shrooms are not. That isn't to say that classic psychs can't have CEVs, just that dissociatives as a class are far more known for their CEVs than classic psychs. It's not really a fair comparison.
 
I tried shrooms for the first time last night and I had a really strong body buzz but that's about it. I didn't think about alot of things since I couldn't stop myself from laughing (after hearing all the incoherent sentences from my buddies) but I had a great time. It kinda felt like esctasy. The time stoped and the whole world was concentrated on my tent. Very few visuals but i assume it is because of the small ammount i took (about 2.5g). I will try 3.5 next time. I won't judge the thing for now, first time is rarely the best.
