tolerance to shrooms forever?

[lalapanda]

Okay this is going to sound crazy but~
On my 15th birthday (five years ago) my best friend bought me a fifth of vodka, drank probably half of it and shared the rest. Probably about 6 hours later (was completely sober) another friend gave me half an 8th of shrooms. Basically what ended up happening was i got so fucking high, couldn't speak, passed out downtown on brick stairs and ended up in the E.R. I spent literally all night being so fucked up. I got these discharge papers that said not to combine booze and other drugs because it can intensify the effects of these drugs. Blah. Okay so anyway like, i've probably eaten like 7 8ths of shrooms in the past five years (since then) and they don't do a god damn thing EVER. it's not that they're bad shrooms cause everyone is always fucked out of their minds. I just sit there like
is there an reason for this or am i just like totally unlucky?

Are you on SSRIs (prozac, paxil, zoloft etc.)? For many this largely or completely blocks the effects of most psychedelics.

i wouldnt think so there are a huge amount of factors relating to the effects of shrooms from your size to how much and what you last ate,
and the interaction of other substances as mentioned above

If you've eaten 1/8ths on 7 occasions with no results you might need a 1/4th (assuming you are healthy and not on any other drugs). It's rare but some people are naturally tolerant to tryptamines for whatever reason. You could test this theory by trying a standard dose of a different tryptamine and seeing if you have the same reaction. Weed can also nullify a trip for some people too, while for others it intensifies it. I always like to go in totally sober.

I'm not on any medicines like that no


That's so weird.
I mean I'm not very big and most drugs effect me pretty hard core.
i'm 5'0, 98pounds
i dont really do weed as it makes my anxiety worse

but its weird cause the time i overdosed or passed out or whatever i was TRIPPIN BALLS

Well there are different types of shrooms. Copelandias and liberty caps i think are both way stronger than the most popular type which are the cubensis.

That is odd, Alcohol usually dulls everything down for me mixed with psychedelics/mushrooms. Have you tried mushrooms from a different source or a different strain at all? I know you said the ones your eating are fine but still you never know. Also just because your buddies are tripping hard doesn't exactly mean that you should be to, your idea of tripping could be totally different from theirs. I would maybe try a larger dose next time if your confident with it, if that doesn't work out you could add in a maoi and do a psilohuasca. With a maoi its not just a typical mushroom trip anymore but basically a oral DMT trip, for sure do your homework/research if you choose to go that route.

You say like that, does that mean you are on *some* form of medication? SSRIs aren't the only thing that can block a trip.

Also do you consume any other drugs during the prior days or during the trip? Alcohol and benzos can completely kill a trip for some people with enough taken, and if you've abused certain other drugs like other psychedelics or MDMA you might simply have a very high tolerance.

sounds like a digestive problem. when dealing with tryptamines, booze usually causes my trip to come up faster, and i also sober up once the shrooms kick in.

are you making sure to take your doses on an empty stomach? (no food at least 3 hours before, and don't eat hard to digest foods).

all of this sounds like speculation though. you may just be naturally somewhat tolerant no one can say for sure.

I doubt the problem is any sort of "life tolerance", I'm skeptical about whether that really exists with any drugs, and if it does I doubt mushrooms would qualify. I'd say it probably has to do with several factors, either the mushrooms you had that first time were much better, or perhaps you didn't have any expectations so it really blew your mind.

I remember the first time I took mushrooms, I took a half 8th as well, and it was completely incredible. I would have to eat like an eighth or more now to reach that level, but It has nothing to do with tolerance (I only take em like twice a year). It's just not a novel thing any more, and also I was much smaller then, I was just 15 at the time.

Are you sure you're taking enough? 5 grams is what you want to have a truly impressive trip, at least after the novelty effect has worn off.
