Hi everyone. Today I bought an eighth of shrooms today for $30. I've never tried them before, tomorrow (hopefully) will be my first time. Can I split them with my friend or must I eat the whole eighth to trip? I also want to know if drinking orange juice (to wash it down) will increase or decrease the effect. The dealer told me he heard it hightens the effect, but a friend told me that orange juice will decrease the effects of the trip. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to ingest them... so any simple recipes would be helpful. Feel free to give me as many tips as you want... I'm a little apprehensive about doing this. Thanks in advance.
As far as the orange juice goes, it's not going to heighten your trip or decrease the effects. I would personally eat the whole eight, but a half an eigth can definitly get you tripping depending on potency, strain, etc. Considering your apprehension to eating them, maybe a half 8th is the better way to go for your first time, and if u smoke pot u can smoke a joint after eating them to calm yourself and ease into the trip. I have to mention after saying that though that i prefer to not smoke along with tripping as in my personal experience i find that it clouds me mentally during the trip. Tripping outside is the way to go for me, but everyone likes different things, I know presonally that i get antsy if im inside or not doing anything thats stimulating on some trips but than on other trips a wall and my thoughts can entertain me for an hour. There is really no way to prepare you for a trip, and every trip will go differently, don't worry about freaking out or anything just be excited for the trip, everything will play out. In the case that you start getting a little anxiety though i find that it helps to do something routine and just sit down and relax, I dont smoke cigarets, but i do find that if i feel any anxiety at all on a trip, which has only happened twice, a ciggaret really clears my mind and relaxes me back into laughing and having a good time. Goodluck and have fun, the first trip is normally the best, enjoy.
Okay about trying them for your first time. I wouldn't take the whole eighth because thats probably a little to intense for a newbie. I agree with sublime take half of it. I pefer not to be alone but not with a lot of people (and they must be tripping to). Try to friends that have tried them before (if any of them have). Just for advice while going through your journey. My friends and I personally sit there and talk out loud not so much to each other but just what we are thinking. Sometimes commenting on what another says which sometimes turns into an indepth conversation. My friend Brandon and I love to draw and a lot of times we will sit there with a piece of paper and take turns adding our drawings to it, making one big portrait. Be careful your first time, clear your mind before you ingest them. If anything, ANYTHING at all, even the slightest thing, is bothering you, don't take them because it can cause a bad trip. While tripping don't get scared about anything, which can happen where you have a bad type of panic attack. One thing someone told me before I took my first ones was- "Don't be held down by the fear of knowledge and what can happen because YOU WILL ALWAYS COME DOWN." Because you can get the sense that you are stuck in this state forever. As for ingesting them, as disgusting as it sounds the best thing I've had them with was chili. You could absolutely not taste the 'shrooms AT ALL, which surprised me. But personally I don't think they taste as bad as every makes them out to be. Its like eating cardboard- unless they're still wet then yes they can taste a little bad because they're slimy like. To add to sublime's comment about cigarettes and smoking pot. I also don't like to smoke any weed just because to me it lessens my trip (so only do this if it feels too strong). As for smoking cigarettes, for some reason I have to have one in my hand (most of my friends say the same thing). Not so much to smoke but just to have lit (plus its pretty to watch both the flame as well as the smoke). But yeah just have fun your first time is usual the best (it was for me). Because sadly 'shrooms get stronger and stronger with each new experience. Almost makes me not want to take them.....but I love them too much.
I find that I trip harder if I eat them on an empty stomach. Half an 1/8th is definately a good amount to start with. I say eat them during the day, because I like it better, but you'll have a great time whenever you eat 'em. If you can't eat them alone, a good way is to do this: Take a piece of bread and spread peanut butter on it, sprinkle the shrooms on it, fold it in half and eat it. Peanut butter kills the taste completely. But as said earlier chili or soup work great too. In my experience, I also find that when you grind them up into shake, they'll hit you faster. Although, I will say that personally, I love to smoke weed while tripping. For me, it hightens the trip. Also, if you smoke a blunt or two (I usually trip with a group of people) then the smoke in the air turns the whole room into a haze. I love it.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I'll do it outside with a friend. I always get paranoid whenever I do things at home because my parents are suspicious of me and like to pop in unexpected once in a while. I have one last question... About 3 of the stems have white furry looking mold on them and one cap is completely covered in it. Should I discard these or can I somehow clean them off so I don't waste them? I seperated the rest just in case the mold spreads or something. Thanks.
DON'T DO IT AT HOME!!! Yes good idea to do it outside but be careful not to do it in any public area for your first time b/c you don't know how'll you'll re-act. Plus you can get really paranoid on shrooms especially when you know everyone else is not on anything. You'll think everyone can tell your messed (which they probably could, until you learn to control yourself). See if you and your friend can go camping for the night. Though I don't know how the darkness and trees will do for you, they may actually freak you out. Oh just to let you know shrooms can have a longer effect than most drugs (expect anywhere from 6- even 10 hrs). When you come off of them its very very sudden. Believe me you'll be at that high trippy point and you'll all of a sudden come off of them. And you will have some after effects like the rest of the day (at least for me) you'll feel very drained but can't seem to sleep. Also you might get bit of a headache (so start smoking after ya'll come down) because everything goes from moving really fast to back to normal and it messes with your eyes. One more thing while your on them you might get some stomach craps (like gas) but it will go away after awhile although sometimes it doesn't. As for the mold, I would suggest to NOT eat those. They seem a little sketchy and you don't want to get any potent shrooms your first time. You'll be vomiting the rest of the day/night. In fact potent shrooms can last for days after, its kind of like getting food poisoning. But just have fun on them and just enjoy the experience. By the way either post your experience or p/m me. I'd really like to hear how you liked tripping. And if you have any other questions just let me know.
smokin pot and tripping goes hand and hand just imho half and 8th should be fine for your first time. and wait atleast an hour and a half and see how you feel. if your diggin it pop another cap or two. peanut butter is awesome. i would stick to a familiar environment you feel safe at with some cool people you trust. if you do stay at home definatly venture outside. i always feel alot closer to nature whenever im trippin on shrooms. if you ever start gettin a little anxious about the effects just remember its a drug and it will all wear off. dont eat 25 caps dont drive down your street with your friend walking infront of you looking for keys you thought you lost but were in your pocket the whole time. peace light and have fun on the other side
