I've been smoking weed just about every day for three months or so (only on like weekends before that), and I meditate often. I don't have any problems with mental health in my family. But the thing is, my age. I'm only 14, I don't want to really fuck up my life, but I'm really intrested in mushrooms and psychedelics. Also, how would you compare weed to shrooms? like how intense are the hallucinations and everything compared to cannabis.
I can't speak for you. But I can speak for me very honestly when I say. At age 19 I did mushrooms the first time and ever since then when people ask me the question of "if you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing, what would it be". Well if I could go back to when I was 14 and tell myself one thing it would be "do mushrooms". Just remember, set and setting. And if shit gets too crazy, meditation will work to bring you where you want to be. Really, I think as long as you do genuinely know how to meditate, let all go, I don't see how you could have a bad trip. Even if your hell, cause you'd know how to let go of hell. But how intense? Well, in terms of 'hallucinations' on marijuana to mushrooms. The "hallucinations" on marijuanas are not real, whereas mushrooms you will get true hallucinations, not just toys to playfully joke about.
Does 1.5-2 grams sound like a good amount for my first time? Should I smoke weed while tripping? Is there anything to slow the trip down if shit gets too heavy?
Q - Does 1.5-2 grams sound like a good amount for my first time? A - I would stick with a gram or less your first time. its rare but some people have full blown trips off of 1 gram, you might be one of them. I know someone who tried an 1/8th with OJ his first time, he is one of them, but he is no longer my friend. Q - Should I smoke weed while tripping? A - It will intensify the effects of the trip and could cause confusion. Up to you really, its safe. Q - Is there anything to slow the trip down if shit gets too heavy? A - no, once u ingest them theres no turning back unless u have thorazine. you could take a CNS depressant to relax if it gets too intense (alcohol, or xanax etc).
A couple more things. 1. Will I have trouble sleeping after the trip? or maybe say I wanted to get out of the trip, could I try going to sleep? 2. How long after consuming the mushrooms untill I reach complete base-line? 3. Is it better to trip with someone else, or by myself but with a trip sitter?
no, u cant sleep it off or anything. once you get on the ride ur on it till its over. buy the ticket take the ride as thompson said. Give the entire trip a good 8hrs. however you will feel different long after that. and id say trip w someone else. a trip sitter would be good but its wierd when ur the only one tripping. hope it goes well for you and i hope you like it man. peace and happy tripping.
You will love it. I encourage you to burn while you do it. Your brain chemistry is probably set up to be most comfortable with THC, and your visuals will be better. http://www.ShroomsMovie.com
I ate 3 grams my first time. It was a good dosage for me. From my experience, unless you break atleast the 1.5 gram mark, you won't get many visuals. You CAN get visuals at 1.5 grams but they are very subtle and unless you know how to really relax (meditate) then typically its not enough to force visuals to pop out at you. At around 3 grams is when you will get visuals, no matter what. And I would not smoke weed at first. If you want, maybe smoke an hour before so then by the time mushrooms kick in the weed is mostly worn off and your relaxed from it. But definanetly for your first time, I would say, leave your body clear of other chemicals so you can feel what mushrooms are just by themselves. And if stuff gets too heavy? Meditate, dissattach yourself from the heavy. Just let it be, while "you" are somewhere else. You only have to be in hell as long as you hold yourself there.
Your questions are pretty much answered so I'll just give some advice. *1 -1.5g at first, you can always eat more if you want more, you can't really do the reverse. *Have at least 1 friend with you. I prefer to have groups of 3-4 (myself included), those seem to be the most fun/entertaining. A trip sitter is a good idea, wouldn't want to be calling your parents and telling them that you think you're dying, do you? *Music - Goes along with set and setting, which is worth mentioning again due to it's importance. Make sure you're around people you know, like, and trust, in a place your familiar and comfortable being in. Music can change the entire mood/experience of the trip sometimes. I personally recommend tool, and pink floyd for starters. *I would say don't smoke weed for at least 2 hours after the last time you ate a dose of mushrooms. By then you should already have peaked and you know what mushrooms are like. Also, keep in mind that marijuana intensifies the effects of Acid/Mushrooms for many people. ***Be careful - Make sure you trust the person your getting them from. Don't pick them. I personally live in Ohio where just about every strain of lethal mushroom happens to grow. There are some mushrooms where just a tiny bit can kill you, and you might not even feel sick for a week or two before the serious symptoms hit. Blue bruises are usually a good indicator that they are psychedelic mushrooms but this is not the case for all psychedelic mushrooms. *If don't like how they taste, as many people don't, try some peanut butter. *You seem to have just recently started smoking weed. I'm not one to talk, since i'm guilty of the same thing. albeit at a later age, but you may be moving a little fast... Just stay away from the "death" drugs like cocaine, heroin, meth, crack, PCP, etc. The hippies know what they're doing, stick with the "safer" a.k.a. "mind expanding" or "smart" drugs, Marijuana, Mushrooms and Acid, all of which little to no damage to the body. *You seem to have done at least a fair bit of research, since you knew to look for a history of mental illness in your family history, but if you have any further questions, check out http://www.erowid.org/ if you haven't already. General Mushroom info - http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms.shtml Mushroom Experiences - http://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Mushrooms.shtml *Read some of the experiences people have had, it will help you to know what to expect and you may be less likely to have a bad trip. That's really all I can think of for now. Mushrooms are my favorite drug next to weed and I highly recommend them. Good luck with your mushroom experience if you decide to go through with it. Let us know how everything goes. Oh, and have a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
thanks guys, all good advice. Also, I will stay away from any hard drug, I beleive in the whole "No pills, no powders, if it grows from the ground it's probably okay" rule.
Yes Your Absolutely Right...herbs From The Ground Is Okay..theres Nothing Wrong With Smoking Maryjane And Eating Mushrooms In The Same Time..if You Take One Pill And Eat Mushrooms It Could Be Tragic..and Thats A Fact Because I Seen People Commit Suicide With Mushrooms..and If Your Young The Better Because If You Mess With Mushrooms Too Late It Could Be Tragic Because The Older You Are The More Problems You Would Have In Your Life ...and When Your Young The Only Problems You Got Are Little Problems Like Your Parents..so I Suggest You Try Them Now At A Small Dose..and It Doesnt Depend On Your Size It All Depends On The Type Of Mushroom Your Taking..you Should Do Reasearch On Whatever Kind Of Shroom Your Taking..be Patient..
Don't capitalize every letter in your sentence. It's really annoying to read. Seriously. That is all.
OK, so I guess I'm the only one that thinks this, but I think you should wait. At 14 you're changing quite a bit. You're perception is already being altered by puberty. I know that sounds lame, but just give your mind and body a chance to grow, before you throw it for a loop, like mushrooms. I don't mean to offend or insult, but at your age, your mind just isn't a lucid as it should be for me to say, with no doubts at all, that the trip won't fuck you up, permanently. You seem like an extremely mature, and bright guy. Just give your mind some time to grow with the rest of your body. Mushrooms will still be as common as cow shit when you're 17, so just wait till then. However, if you really really don't want to wait, I'd suggest trying a trip that isn't as intense, or doesn't last as long for your first real trip, just to test the waters of your mind. Maybe Salvia? It generally only lasts an hour, and it grows from the ground, and it's still legal (kinda). Either way, yes get a sitter. Do not trip alone for your first time.
