Hey there! So I've used weed every day for the last year or so, up until the beginning of March. I was sensitive to it, but had a good experience 95-98% of the time, and even then I only got slightly paranoid and it was bearable. I'd like to try shrooms, but I have quite a few questions. -If I'm someone who has anxiety, would you recommend even trying this in a small dose? What would your advice be for preventing/handling paranoia if I have it? -What would the cost be for 1.75 grams or less? -What is the best way to ingest it? Anything else you have to add would be awesome. Thanks for the advice ^_^
I have anxiety and I would actually recommend a large dose for your first trip. I took 3.5 grams my first time taking shrooms and do not regret it. I approached the experience quite differently than I did weed. Going in with the mindset that this is an experience not to get 'messed up' or party on is a good idea. (I didn't treat weed that way wither really but I tried weed on more of a whim) Treat shrooms as an exploration of your mind, realize that it's not physically dangerous and put yourself in a comfortable mindset/location, with a sober sitter looking after you if possible. Make sure you have practically no responsibilities to attend to while on the trip and you may even want the following day to be light to allow for time to integrate your trip. If you do have some uncomfortable parts of the trip, try and tell yourself that it ends, switching up little things here and there can create radical changes in your trip and headspace, doing something like going to a different room, go inside/outside, get some water, change music, laying down, etc. I don't know the prices, but I'd reccommend 2-3 grams. Shroom potency can vary, there are some strains which can make you trip decent on 1.75 but I've found the standard Cubensis to be fairly underwhelming at that dose. I have always ate them chased with water or juice. They don't have the best taste in the world but it's not that bad. Really the first few times I did them they basically reminded me of eating sunflower seed shells.
i dont know how much it would cost since that depends on the availability but it shouldnt cost more than $20 a gram. normal prices is between $10-15/g.
you only have a first time once, so go big! trust me, you will never be able to replicate your first experience, no matter how much you do, so make the first time memorable. btw, all humans experience anxiety, so just go for it. have some weed around also its awesome. best way to injest it is to stick it in your mouth and munch it up and swallow. the taste is not that bad, its like stale chips. really really stale chips. you can eat a little bit over a twenty or thirty minute period if you dont like the taste, just wash it down with lemonade. also, plan some things to do, if you get bored, thats when you go into your head and start thinking unnecessarily. my favorite activity is skateboarding and going to the beach. anywhere in nature is fun.
My first experiences were low doses. The best were higher doses, followed by cannabis after I thought I was done tripping....big surprise I wasn't done tripping. Do not drive or goof around with technology. The fear is different on shrooms than weed. It's a more open and accepting experience. If you do have a bummer, it is best to just try to not traumatized yourself or let anyone make it worse. Don't call 911 if your freaking, it is just a bad dream and will pass. Fasting is also a good way to prep yourself. My best trip was a day of only eating shrooms. Ease into the vibrations, everything at a nice easy pace. Wish ya the best!
The best way to avoid a bad trip is to be a in a safe place and always remember this feeling is temporary. A half 1/8th is not that much if you really want to trip eat 1/8 or more. Eat them on an empty stomach and have some weed for ready if you feel sick. Resist the urge to puke it will pass in a few minutes. You should not be paying more then 30 or 35 for 1/8 of mushrooms usualy less.
