i had always been scared of trying magic shrooms, until i finally tried them and realized there was nothing to be scared of that whole time. i havent tried a full 8th, only half. mainly because i wanted to dive in to it slowly and just see what i was going to be dealing with. i found this very helpful. Every single time that i've tried them i have always surrounded myself with people i felt comfortable with in a calm setting. (park, beach) I've never experienced a bad trip, im not sure if its because i havent consumed more than half an eight or because i dont trip myself out. the very last time that i tried them, i was already coming down i wasnt having any visuals anymore, nothing was breathing, etc so i smoked a few bowls. i love smoking sativas, i dont like the feeling indica strains give me so when i smoked i just felt a head change but mellow. so i headed to the theaters and 10 min before the movie started i started seeing all the colors vivid. my phone screen looked like a kaleidoscope. thats when i knew smoking kicked up my shroom high again. i saw every single movie trailer in 3D and the whole time i was just laughing to myself and thinking "i dont remember buying a 3D movie ticket." it was an awesome cross fade. so i'm really intrigued on trying a full 8th. i'm not sure if my height and weight matters on how strong that shrooms will hit me. i'm 4'11 , weight 115. so any advice on it? I want to try the full 8th mainly because i want to go into a deeper trip and im pretty confident that i will be able to handle it. :daisy: Personally i think you need to have a strong mentality and just ride it out. most people scare themselves because they freak out whenever they see something that doesnt really appeal to them. But why freak out if you know that its just the shrooms. i'd like for everyone to try them at least once, just go with the flow and happy thoughts <3 over thinking and over analyzing is where people f*ck themselves over. i'd like to hear some of your psychedelic trips. good, bad, what have you. Did it open your eyes to a lot of things? Has it changed you in any way? Any advice on anyone taking them? What do you like to do when you're tripping? Any other psychedelics you have tried? safe and happy trips everyone. :seeya:
My strongest trip on shrooms was on a full eighth, with one of my best friends and tripping partners. We split an eighth worth of tea and an eighth of whole shrooms. That trip got out of hand very quickly. I never had a "bad trip" but I was laid out unable to think in any kind of rational fashion. My friend got caught up in this really bad and started to freak out because he couldn't put together a thought that made any sense. It was like a barrage of sensory input that I don't think he was ready for. He started to get really paranoid around the time when I was just chanting whatever sound would come to my lips. He thought I was being too loud and that cops would come or something. Once I realized that he wasn't really in good shape I started trying to help calm him down and that brought me out of the really intense part of the trip. I think trying to focus on something which seemed important allowed my mind to settle down and let me crawl a little further back into my rational self. He ended up just trying to sleep on the floor in another room until he was back enough to calm down and return to normal. It was a great trip for me, but he told me that he was sort of forced to confront some demons and hadn't really realized that his mind could put him in that sort of state while tripping. The point here is that you pretty much have the right idea about mushrooms. Take them in a comfortable environment with good friends and always remember that whatever happens you're not in any real danger from the drugs you took. There's always the chance of a bad trip, and it increases with dosage, but bad trips are often the most informative and there's almost always something of value to take from them.
sounds to me like you are "ready" for a whole eighth. but keep in mind that the potency of mushrooms varies wildly. if you get a different batch of shrooms and eat a half eighth, it could easily be twice as strong as the ones you've eaten already (or half as strong). so if you start with a whole eighth, and they are really potent, then that's a lot:sunny: the last two times i ate mushrooms, i ate an eighth, and each time was sort of ...rough. i've tripped on many other psychedelics (LSD, 2ce, 2cb, 4-aco-dmt, 4-ho-mipt, etc.) but i have a special respect for mushrooms. i give the most consideration to set and setting with them, because i've been handed my more difficult trips from mushrooms, especially when i didn't take them seriously. but that is not said in order to make you worry. going with the flow and not over analyzing it is exactly how you should trip. but it doesn't hurt to do some analysis beforehand, and prepare. sounds like you are doing that part right. my favorite times tripping are when i'm camping. being outside in nature is great. also, listening to music is a must for me. i don't think psychedelics generally "care" about body weight. it's more about receptors in your brain, but body weight probably does influence it a bit. the biggest thing i've learned from psychedelics is that perception is everything. if taking a tiny dose of some molecule can drastically alter your perception, then so can your daily thoughts and actions. how you perceive the world is, on some level, up to you. we choose how to live our lives. we can be happy or pissed off. i've written a lot of trip reports on here, and there is MUCH discussion on psychedelics in general on these forums. have a look around.
My best trip was a gram of Psilocybe Cyanescens. (Outdoor grown) powdered and mixed with orange juice. Come up was very fast. Visual distortions were amazing. A bubble like field formed around me. I was rolling on the floor laughing.....Felt very dream like. Color enhancement was amazing. the leaves of the trees outside were twisting in interesting geometric shapes. It was blissful. No nausea at all. I had to eat midway.. watching an amazing summer storm that just formed. Rain, black clouds and lightning. Blew my mind. This was my first trip on Unity and Respect. very deep and natural.
