OK about a month ago i tripped for the 3rd time. We bought an eighth each and ate them at my house. They were really black but the caps were huge. I tripped pretty hard but barely any visuals. Does anyone know why that might be? I was thinking maybe because they werent very good mushrooms but i dont know why i would have tripped so hard though. I completely do not remember a portion of the trip. I dont know how long this time was but we were in my house and then all of a sudden I like snapped back to reality and i was sittin on my deck with a blanket wrapped around me with a half burned ciggarete in my hand and i was laughing my ass off!! I had no idea what i was doing but my visuals werent strong at all. ONly a little twitching of things and the table on my deck was kinda sinking into the ground.. hmm i just dont know??
in general - stems are considerably stronger than caps. look for ones that have lots of blue and them, tend to produce more visuals.
thanks man! yeah the first time i tripped they were some really good mushies. They were blue as hell and i only ate a half eighth and tripped hard core with lots of visuals!
no. stems and caps do not differ significantly in terms of alkaloids/volume. also: blue = bruising. bruising = oxidation. oxidation = chemical loss. potent mushrooms may bruise more easily in general, but i certainly wouldn't buy blue mushrooms (well, i woudln't buy mushrooms, period - pick them). that just means they were handled poorly and have loss some of the good stuff inside. peace.
instead of smoking my amanitas i just made tea of them instead. Cus ive heard that something doesnt get right when u burn it. MUCH more effect. from now on ill only make tea. i put my shroomies in a strainer with some normal tea. i poured hot water through it into a cup. because it tasted like crap i added alot of suger andsome milk. drank two cupfulls. and felt the groove. so from now on ill only make tea. i dont wanna eat amanita muscaria but if i get hold of some other sort ill eat it. so for all of you who have fly agarics growin out in ur yard. dry them and make tea.
Take 5 grams and find out what a trip is like. An eighth won't kick you through the door. Twice that much will put you in orbit.
