Hello SWIM will be buying Shrooms in the near future and he wants to ask a few questions before he does. SWIM has never done a traditional psychedelic, he has only done LSA and smoked quite a bit of weed. SWIM is very small, weighing around 105 pounds, and wants to know how many grams he should eat? He would also like to know what exactly a trip is like in terms of controlling the trip, just how crazy things could get, and what it will be like when he comes down. SWIM is not depressed but does struggle with personal issues, nothing out of the ordinary. Any advice would help
First off, I'd consider LSA a traditional psychedelic... 2-3.5 grams would be a good dose. Shrooms can get pretty crazy, but there is usually a lot of joy, emotion and amazing perceptions shrooms elicit. It's Great to take with a few close friends initially. I usually designate a spot to lay prior to the trip and stay there while coming up at least and then if I decide I want to explore I do that, otherwise stay in that spot for the majority of the trip . While coming up, nausea often occurs (it seems to be more pronounced for me than almost any other person I've tripped on shrooms with but I've heard others experience it as well) and it can be passing intermittently throughout the trip. The coming down is fairly smooth, however it may be difficult to get sleep for a few hours after you come off your trip, your mind is still overactive.
I was under the impression traditional meant it was either shrooms, LSD, mescaline or DMT. SWIM thanks you and would also like to ask if he split and eighth would that ne enough?
I view a traditional psychedelic as those of which have been used for an extensive amount of time. If you split an eighth you will definitely experience some affects, however depending on the strength of the shrooms, which can be variable, it may or may not quite get you there.
I like the song your username is from. "control" and "trip" are two words that don't go together very well usually, and with mushrooms, you really have to prepare to be taken on a voyage against your will. This is because potency varies so much gram to gram and because mushrooms are strong medicine. So you may take 3g and get an extremely controllable trip that consists mostly of you being giggly and things looking funny, or you may be plastered to the ground from 3g and experience the birth of the universe first hand. So things can get very crazy. Coming down is not anything special on mushrooms, you just gradually become more sober, reintegrating into sober reality.
Fast for 6 hours prior and do 2 grams Then pick a nice quiet safe place ........You'll trip but it wont be to crazy
Thanks a lot for all of the advice I have one more question and I hope someone can answer this, when I trip I know I will have certain people i'll want to be with me, but there will also be some close friends i'm not to sure about. I have one friend who is one of my best friends but whenever I get high with him he ruins my vibe. If someone is with me who i'm just uneasy about, what is that like while tripping?
It's generally annoying/not good. Personally, I don't really like tripping with groups larger than around four tops if I'm tripping with people at all. More people just adds into the general confusion that can be mushrooms; also, you may find yourself misreading people emotionally IE perceiving threats or misguided "vibes" from them, which, can indeed fuck with your head. If your friend habitually ruins your weed highs, I'd suggest keeping any future exploration and him separate or explain what's up and see if he'll be supportive, a silent observer if you will.
honestly whenever I trip I bring 1 person 2 at most, or go completely alone. Its much more intimate and when you really love the people you trip with it makes it that much more special and meaningful. If this guy kills your vibe Id say leave him in the dust, you'll have a better time w/o him.
