Wanting to do shrooms, but...

The thing is, I have had a couple of panic attacks and pressure drops on weed a while back. I smoke it pretty often now, and I was just wondering if doing mushrooms (while keeping a good mindset & setting) will raise my chances for a good first time? I want to do them with my best friend (who has never had any trouble with weed), but I'm a little scared I might have a bad-trip. Any thoughts?
 
wait, you wonder if doing mushrooms will raise your chances for a good time? On what? mushrooms? I'm not sure i understand...

But... My advice to you is don't smoke weed on mushrooms.
 
yeah you could definitely do it and be fine, but i'd recommend not mixing the two, or at least wait until you are coming down to toke sparingly.

i'm experienced with both weed and mushrooms, but find that if i smoke while tripping i tend to get a little anxious.
 
You'd probably be fine to take some mushrooms as long as it's not too crazy of a dose, and then smoke maybe a bit of weed if you want to. Be warned though, shrooms+weed can lead to some heavy tripping =D
 
I think you'll be just fine with the mushrooms as long as your in the right set and setting. Especially if your doing it with your best friend, thatll help. As far as smoking while tripping... Just start off small with a few hits spaced out. I personally enjoy smoking while tripping. Good luck, it'll be a fun time:
 
Just because you have had a bad trip on weed absolutely does not mean it could happen on shrooms.

Years ago i once had a hell of a bad trip on weed - had to get taken to hospital and sedated and everything... bad bad time. But i have never even come close to that sort of reaction on lsd and shrooms. In fact i cope with them completely fine, not even a inkling of a bad trip has ever crept up on me...

When i flipped out on the weed it was an anxiety attack/psychosis from lack of sleep and too many other drugs in my system.

Weed is generally known as being a bad drug for anxiety - which i found out the hard way. Shrooms wont necessarily have that effect - but if you're going to be paranoid and anxious about what has happened in the past, then it may happen. So don't do it until you have come to terms with what happened on the weed and understand what and why it happened.

You need to let go of experiences like that, otherwise they can come back to haunt you.

And do as ASquishyApple suggested - start of low at first, get an understanding of it before you do a full dose. Suss out how you will manage with it. A small dose may hit you pretty hard and effect you like someone on a heavy dose - we're all different :) I am like that with weed - what totally rips me is nothing for some...
 
Okay, this is what I've discovered from my own experience

I get very anxious on weed (which is why I don't smoke it anymore)
-On less than half an eighth of mushrooms (less than 1.75 grams), I have almost no anxiety
-On more than half an eighth of mushrooms (more than 1.75 grams) I often have "bad trips" or at least uncomfortable ones.
-I find that, in the past, I would have the worst trips at times when I would just eat them without any kind of intention, plan, or respect for the plant.
-Difficult trips are almost guaranteed to happen at HIGHER doses, but you can maintain a good mindset and actually get a lot of benefit out of it, as long as you believe that you can learn something from it and that this learning will improve your thoughts and improve your life. Read my trip report if you want in the trip report section: "Mushrooms (7.5 grams) Experienced"

I would suggest....
-Taking about 0.75 or 1 gram of mushrooms to start (about half of half an eighth... it'll probably be about two or three caps/stems, but weighing it out is a good idea!)
-Writing a letter to the mushrooms or stating your intention. This might sound cheesy to some people, but I find that it really helps if you develop a RELATIONSHIP with mushrooms, and not just use them to get "fucked up". Your stated intention can be as simple as "Hi, I'm ---, and I'm really happy to meet you. I respect your wisdom, and I would like to be your friend. Today I would like to discover the beauty of nature and friendship."
-NOT using any other drugs with the mushrooms the first time you do them. If you want to really feel them out, don't take weed/E/nitrous, etc. However, the comedown can be physically uncomfortable sometimes, so it's a good idea to drink some calming tea like chamomile or valerian root. And take a shower to get the extra toxins out of your system faster.

Mushrooms are awesome!! Have fun!
 
Thank you for all the replies Bluelighters! Me & my bud aren't sure when we're going to trip, but it's gonna be soon. We'll probably go with 1 gram each to start off and get a feel for the drug. I'll post a thread once I actually do them, give my thoughts and reflections on the trip. Wish me luck :)
 
i do not like smoking bud much, i get paranoid (not to the extent of panic attacks, btu very bad..) but tripping ive never had any trouble, aside from coming up my 1st acid trip cause no one was asleep and my pupils were dimes..but generally, tripping ive just not cared about getting in trouble, and jsut having fun. Eg. when id smoke, id be afraid to go outside to smoke a cigarette. when tripping, i just giggle adn laugh and not care. Just cause bud makes you paranoid doesnt mean shrooms will at all. Shrooms are very stoney though, more like bud than acid is IMO/
 
Haha one time i was on mushrooms walking down the alley and i heard sirens and i talking booking it lol i got scared but thats the only time i got kinda paranoid and it was only for that 1 minute i was running just take like 3 grams and you'll be good for me i cant smoke weed i get paranoid everytime but when i mix weed with something else like e im fine
 
Cannabis causes paranoia, we all know this. I can't speak for Psilocin itself, but I can speak for Psilacetin (4-AcO-DMT), and I find that it is anything but paranoid. In fact I feel a lot more "safe" than I do sober. The only thing I will suggest is not to be overly confident in yourself, but be confident that the mushroom will give you a safe ride and take care of you through your trip. You will end your trip unharmed, but depending on YOU, how you live your life, your thoughts at the time, your setting, your reasons for taking mushrooms you will either have an enjoyable experience or a not so enjoyable one. A "bad trip" isn't necessarily going to cause a panic attack or anything of the sort, you are however likely to get scared or emotional, and this is sometimes triggered by something negative in your life that you can fix. My view is that if you get a bad trip, try and learn from it, see what triggered it, find the root of the problem, and solve it - that way the bad trip can do you a lot of good in the long term, and if you have a good trip, use your good mindset to learn more from the drug.

Hope this helps :)
 
Your first time?

Don't combine the two, test a gram or less to make sure you get along with them, be in a clear state of mind.

You should be fine and if not you only took a gram or less which is pretty minor (Stoney feeling)
 
with somethingg like shrooms firstly you can start off low, then another rule (that i made up) is that you shouldn't take a drug you're not 100% sur you WANT to take;;.

but shrooms are great fun, try a low dose with a friend in the woods or fields and just laugh n chat

you can always get some benzos in case, they will calm u down if you do happen to have a bad trip... and an experienceed trip siter is better than a on experienced one
