Have a few questions regarding shrooms.

Hello everyone.

I've got a few questions about acquiring and using shrooms. I'm not widely experienced with recreational drugs usage, at one point in my life I smoked pot semi regularly and I did take XTC once at a rave which was actually a very enjoyable experience.

I recently found out that a friend of mine share's a great intrest of trying shrooms with me, for the record she's even less experienced with this kind of thing than I am. She's only smoked pot once in her life.

I'll get down to it though...I'm not really sure how to aquire shrooms, at one point I had a friend who thought he could get them, but I've sence lost contact with him. My sister is a regular pot smoker but to my knowledge she hasn't ever tried anything else...Perhaps I could ask her about it?

Another thing I need to know is how much to take? Is it possible to OD on shrooms? I don't want to accidently harm my friend or myself by taking to much the first time.

But my main question is about how to aquire shrooms.

I don't expect anyone to be to upfront and I totally understand, but if anyone cares to give a little insight it'll be greatly appricated.

Thanks everyone.

 

i don't know how you should go about acquiring shrooms. maybe an experienced psychonaut could help you pick some from a field or you can find some 'lab style' grown shrooms that have been grown indoors under proper conditions.

you CANNOT overdose on shrooms. if you take a lot, you might just go bonkers for a while, but it won't have any lasting physical effects. HOWEVER - magic mushrooms can be a catalyst for mental instability if you are already predisposed to it. if your family has a history of mental disorders like schizophrenia then be careful. this is a very marginal risk but it is present.

also, how much to take - mushroom potency varies from species to species - cap to cap. one gram of caps from one batch might be as potent as three grams from another batch. im an experienced tripper so i don't take less than 3.5 grams or so at a time. you should probably start with one gram and wait an hour to an hour and a half before deciding to take another gram or so. start out slow and take what you 're comfortable with.

also, have a designated 'trip sitter' present. they don't have to be experienced, but they should be informed as to how to take care of you in case something goes wrong - you have a bad trip, you need to be talked down or physically restrained, etc.

 

active mushrooms grow in texas i'm sure. Considering the mexican strains in that area are prevalent.

Google is your best friend

Now, im going to sound like a bit of a crazy hippie, but take what i'm saying to heart.
Psychedelic drugs ARE NOT RECREATIONAL . Yes you can have a good time on them, but they are powerful tools of self exploration, self realzation, and introspection on the self, the non self and the universe. If not taken with the utmost respect and a sense of wanting to further yourself, they can and will kick your ass in a bad way.

The psychedelic experince is so different and profound than everyday reality and other drug effects it will leave you never seeing the world in the same way. Don't take this lightly, it could be the best and worst thing you ever experience, and im sure it will be both, but you must reflect on your experience so you can make it positive and integrate what you learn into your everyday life.

Now, about your questions... it's almost impossible to OD on mushrooms. As for dosage, 1-2 grams dry.. provides a stoning effect and a body high, without much trippiness. 2-3 grams in like the half way point, your being pulled back in forth between the experience and normal reality, which can leave you quite confused, and along with the downing effects on the body can make for a bad experience IMO.

So, IMO, dosing near 3grams is the most effective. But thats up to you. Now, im actually going to suggest you don't take mushrooms, and instead try to obtain LSD.

Why?

Simple, it's more enjoyable IMO, instead of a down effect on the body which can lead to thoughts in the inexperinced like.. oh no my breathing is slow somethings wrong, my body feels weird, did i take the right shrooms? LSD, is a stimulant, instead of laying around worrying about how you feel, you might be up dancing around lost in music. But this is just a personal opinion.

But alas, if your heart is set on sjhrooms. The best way to obtain them, is to go out in nature and harvest your own. Connect with the very nature of the shroom.

 

Take half an eight. that should give you a great idea of what tripping is about. As far as acquiring I'd talk to the people you know who smoke pot regularly. Maybe your sister knows.

 

I'd reccommend 3 grams like Turkey Stuffing but it depends what you are looking for. As has been mentioned, magic mushrooms are non-lethal so If you are looking more for a transcendetal psychedelic trip, go with 3 grams. Take it in a calm, comfortable setting where you have little to no responsibilities that would need attending to for your trip. You may experience nausea at this dose but many don't . If you want to ease into dosing or looking for more of a 'fun' time then go with a half eighth 1.75 grams. There are different types of mushrooms and potency but that's my general reccommendations for psilocybin cubensis.

 

Texas is the wild shroom capital of the gulf coast.

Go to 4shared.com and download Paul Stamets book "psilocybin mushrooms of the world" or you can be a champ and buy a copy and help Paul Stamets.

Read it cover to cover and come spring go shroom hunting.... Psilocybe cubensis is easy to identify.

 

Thank you all for the insight. Very helpful.

I just wanted to point out here, that its not so much that my heart is set on shrooms, I would consider LSD as well but to my limited knowledge on the subject LSD is quite hard and expensive to attain, I don't know how much truth is in that but its what I've heard.

Recreational was probably the wrong word to use here, I personally am looking to experience something totally different something that just can't be experienced in the day to day grind of life.

 

LSD is not hard to obtain if you know the right people. They are the same sort who will have mushrooms though. I suppose you could consider mushrooms a bit easier to find because anyone can grow them where LSD is going to require you to have expensive equipment and a good knowledge of organic chemistry.

As far as price, an eigth of mushrooms (a good amount to eat if your new and the shrooms are good) might cost you $20-40, maybe less if you are close to the guy. LSD can be about $10 a hit to the average customer and a few hits will be needed to really see what it's all about. So the price for one good trip could end up being about the same.

But I would use caution when dealing with a new guy you don't know who says he has LSD. Lately there has been a lot of NBOME passed of as LSD. I don't know if you have heard of it but it is not as safe as LSD. A good sign is to look for a bitter numbing taste or if the dealer says you need to hold it in your mouth for a while. Real LSD will have no taste other then perhaps an alcohol taste if you get liquid due to it being used to break down LSD crystal, but liquid is less common then blotter paper. Effects will be felt even if you swallow it right away. Although many users myself included like to hold in the mouth for a few minutes so it will hit quicker.
