Ethnobotanicals What takes the edge off psilocybin?

Being outside somewhere without people around preferably with a good friend.
Personally I like the peace and quiet of the night for shrooms.

Never tried this myself but 500-750mg of phenibut 4 hours in advance should take the edge of without dampening the experience.

Being outdoors in a nice setting with no random people around helps alot with the comeup.

The times I've take mushrooms indoors have been horrible, just surrounded by walls can increase the sense of impending doom.

Yeah I basically always go out walking or cycling and as close to nature as I can, after dropping any psychedelic.

And fly to a country that I can buy other substances to compliment the shrooms?

Possible - I was thinking of a woodwork plane to "take the edge off". Just being silly.

There is a good joke tho - "Paul Mcartney has bought Heather Mills a plane. And a lady shave for the other leg"
 
My buddies and I would plan it out. I was blessed to grow up outside of a small town BUT we had access to forest nearby my parents place that I knew like the back of my hand from going down there all the time as a kid.

But yeah we would purposely decide this school day will be the day we skip & trip day bc parents will be at work and in return THINK that we or really that I am at school.

As soon as both parents left I would give them the ok to come over, it was our 1st or 2nd high dose 5-6+ grams so we wanted to be surrounded in nature and not have to worry about trespassing or ppl hunting, random ppl in general, etc.

We listened to TOOLs Undertow album waiting for the come up. It was absolutely outstanding BUT I specifically remember my friend saying hey let's make our way back inside bc the visuals will be more intense and oh man was he ever so right about that! Definitely something behind being outside that makes a trip more mdissappear. familiar so anxious feeling dissappears.

Set and setting every time. Will be the main focus but also I found tripping alone much more enjoyable whereas with friends you may see one dipping into a spiral of paranoia and it can affect everyone but always made it out feeling more alive and glad that we dosed.
 
alcohol!

but i DO NOT BY ANY MEANS think that psilocin mushrooms are recreational.

they are my go- to for psychedelic therapy, but i do not really find them... "fun".

LSD? mystery DOx compounds i've taken? super recreational.

mushrooms? lotta work, not much play. and not a pleasant bodyload (*edit yeah, i think it always depended on species, like ovoids i liked but they were real mindfucky... panaeolopsis and panaeolus cinctulus were more jolly, didn't like gyms) iirc. been a few years.

Nitrous (whippits) are the tool I've used for many years to reduce edginess. I just use them once or twice, and my body relaxes, and the edginess is gone.

Sex/masturbation also helps dramatically if I don't have Nitrous

I agree with your first statement but not the second. Psilocybin mushrooms are THE MOST recreational and safe compound in my personal opinion if used correctly. MDMA would be first if it didn't fuck up your brain so much. Shrooms take you on an emotional revelatory journey that acid just doesn't compare. I guess it all just depends on your subjective definition of 'recreational'. If you take 12g dont expect it to be 'fun'... it'll be something else. 3g on a friday afternoon? Now that's fun.

Alcohol personally. People won't agree but all my amazing out of this world trips with zero anxiety were also with a lot of booze and weed.

Exactly my style, except I use Kratom and valium and weed.
 
Phenibut, Pregabalin & 1,4-BDO are all good if dosage is right. GHB/GBL are good too, but may need redoing so no comedown while tripping. All addictive though.
 
What I did once was eat a Whole bag of Shrooms and then drank a 6 pack of Budweiser. I was falling flat on my ass and laughing my head off.
 
You can make mushroom beer. 25-50 fresh P. semilanceata per pint/0.5 litre boiled in the brew water works well. Probably one of the best ways I've taken them.

I second the recommendation for drinking ginger ale to prevent nausea. Personally I consider it nearly at the level of a miricle drugs almost.

Thing is it has to be a strong spicy ginger ale, you can make your own which I prefer or buy a brand called Reed's Ginger Beer. Thats right ginger BEER not the Ginger ale. Even though its called beer it doesn't have an alcohol in it. I general open the bottle as soon as I dose and then proceed to drink the whole bottle or the next 20min or so. It is a little spicy, its a weird spicy that hard to decribe, not like hot peppers or horseradish, but its own unique thing. The ginger beer is stronger and spicier than the ale and so far everyone I've introduced it to had no isssues with it being too spicy and I'm probably at a 98% range of people who dosed while drinking his ginger have zero vomiting and zero or extremely minimal nausea. Its one of the things I consider essential for a trip. I ALWAYS have it on hand for a trip or trip party especially when dealing with dried cubenesis or some of the tryptamines and phenethylamines that are known to cause nausea. If this doesn't help then to the best of my knowledge and 30+ years of tripping experience then nothing willhelp.
