First time with shrooms...

lol, thats sad i even read the thread all the way through and im forgetting posts already. My bad

 

I agree with you. I really do. But....some first timers may not be ready for that rebirthing and they may not need to maximize it. It's best, imo, for first timers to just be in a chill setting, with some distractions that may be able to deter some focus from any anxiety, if needed. It's best to test the waters before going into that really deep and spiritual trip, because not everyone is prepared for those types of experiences, and some people just aren't meant to trip. It could also depend on whether or not it's daytime or nighttime, as nighttime may be a little to intense for first timers to be outside. Again though, everyone is different. The main point is, wherever you feel most comfortable, like a place JP- and his friends hang out at a lot, is probably the best bet; whether it be outdoors or indoors.

Some people are just ready for whatever trip that may be thrown at them though, and they can handle whatever, even for a first trip. I know I can handle whatever a trip throws at me. It is different for everyone though, and there's no shame in not being able to handle it, as not everyone was meant to experience it.

 

yeah for real, topnotch. the OP didn't provide expectations or intentions. for all I know he had heard of amazing transcendental experiences and thinks okay well shrooms will do that, only to eat them in someone's basement with other novices and undergo the ripple effects of negative energy and feel miserable. As you said, it really just depends on where the person is at in life and what they want from the experience. The only purpose of my comments was to elicit from the OP what exactly it is he's going for, and my remarks about rebirthing were just a point of reference.

 

I feel ya. We both seem to be coming from the same place, but with different perspectives. You just never know with shrooms, and I'm sure these guys are in for a helluva experience. Even when you're not looking/ready for that life changing experience, shrooms will give it to you. It's just a matter of being where you feel most comfortable and being with people who make you feel comfortable.

Hopefully they've done their research and are as prepared as possible.

 

That good? I dont even really know what to expect with shrooms, how long it lasts. Tripping kindda freaks me out.

 

Just do some research and don't try them until you're 100% ready. If you go into thinking you'll freak out......then you'll freak out.

 

my buddy put it best. "Theres no way you can know until you do it yourself, i mean ive heard you tell me about your trips countless times and it still didnt give me any idea what it was like."

Also if you ever find yourself freaking out if you do them, i find telling yourself its just a little intense right now and in a little bit im gonna be fine. Also just slowing your breathing down and trying to clear your mind will help too since you forget shit so easily if you just forget whatever your thinking about and your off looking at something else.

 

The best thing to avoid anxiety is to find something to keep you entertained. A funny movie is good for that, or maybe some really peaceful and mellow music. That always worked for me, anyway. I've never had a bad trip.

 

movies are alright but i think the trip is so much better when you arent distracted by that shit. I really going out for walks or just chilling with my friends listening to music.

 

I recommend having something to draw with and some paper near you, I do that everytime I take shrooms and I draw some pretty wicked cool shit.

 

Yeah I'm just saying if you have something that's easygoing/soothing on tv or in the stereo, the distractions can keep you from freaking out. Distractions can be a good thing to noob trippers, because they have something to focus on, besides their thoughts and anxiety. That's my take on it, anyway.

 

I've been planning on getting some shrooms for months now but I keep blowing all my dough on weed and other shit... I need to set aside a little bit.

 

im personally not a huge fan of the outdoors, but the middle of nowhere on shrooms during the day is the place to be, but beware!, occasionally if the shrooms are really good and your not ready, you may experience a period of complete madness, you will go mad and it may last more than an hour.

its like nothing else, be in a good mood, and have no fear, just anticipation. and most of all, BE CAREFUL, i wouldnt suggest climbing freehand on cliffs or anything, you dont have top wander but you might anywayi once tripped in a 50 foot area, and spent the most time in a 20 foot area.

good luck, its an experience, not really a trip
