ok im really new at this but better late than never right. ok so what are the best ways to ingest mushrooms?
Nah, basically, just take them out of the bag they are in, and eat them. Alot of people complain about taste, so if you can't handle not so great tasting stuff, mask the taste with a food you enjoy. You could put them in a peanut butter sandwich, or anything else.
if you wanted you could make a tea out of them. I always gagged from the taste back in the day. I would put them in my coffee bean grinder, and give 'em a good whirl, which basically turned them to powder. Dump them in a tea pot, add some good tea and let steep. Because they are ground so fine, you end up injesting them, but you just don't taste it. Oh.. but make sure you rinse out the coffee bean grinder afterwards! there isn't enough residue to make you trip, but there is enough to make you feel a little "off". Being 16... well.. I doubt Mom and Dad would dig spores in their morning coffee.
ya i dont think theyd like that either lol but it sure would be funny.lol. ok im releived now cuz my friend told me u ate them and then threw em up i hate throwing up! well now i jsut gotta get em.
I eat them on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.. crunchy peanutbutter works best.. it hides the taste really well and the crunchy stuff hides the texture of the shroomies... don't ever try pizza though... ugh... gross...seriously gross..
i've never eaten mushrooms and NOT thrown up. i ALWAYS make tea out of them, but with a much cleaner (though probably negligably less efficient) method than was suggested. if you can't tolerate throwing up sober, you are not going to be feeling very good about throwing up while tripping. if you don't know how to even take the drug and know very little about the effects, you have absolutely NO BUSINESS whatsoever taking them. tripping is not for the feeble minded or the coward. these are substances have VERY "altering" effects. not even knowing what they do or how they are used or act on the mind, you have no idea what to expect or how to handle yourself. when you trip, you often find yourself in some VERY bizarre states of mind that transcend human languages, some of which have some very real and very challenging implications from spiritual or philosophical standpoints. of course you have to start somewhere, but that somewhere is with education. this isn't at all the same ballpark as drinking a beer or taking a hit off of a joint. this isn't even the same fucking game. marijuana and psychedelics have about as many things in common as toasters and raccoons. i'm not saying you shouldnt EVER experience it, but i AM saying that you do NOT sound ready at all, and you have a good bit of waiting you should be doing before you try this. i suggest reading everything you can on the matter first. there are a select few of us who not only enjoy psychedelics, but also find a number of spiritual and psychological BENEFITS from tripping. however, the benefits are not immediately revealed, and first you must prepare yourself to receive them. step one - education (secondhand - reading, discussing) step two - education (firsthand - familiarizing yourself with the basic effects) step three - serious exploration and revelation (more powerful substances and/or higher dosages) there are a number of pitfalls people experience when choosing to follow a psychedelic path to inner/outer knowledge. many of them are based on ignorance, misunderstanding, or getting sidetracked/taking a different route than has been shown to work most frequently. 1- psychedelics are "just" drugs...they are not, there is definitely something more to them than any others, and they should NOT be treated as purely recreational 2- all you have to do is take a psychedelic for the experience to be beneficial...taking them recklessly will at best lead to an unfulfilling experience, and at worst a terrifying experience 3- psychedelics are without risk - they have not been shown to cause ANY physical harm OR brain damage, but that does not mean there aren't any long term effects and that everyone comes out for the better after taking them. one thing to note is that it IS dangerous for a pregnant woman to trip. 4- anyone can benefit from psychedelics...some people just can't cope with the experience, and some people misunderstand or dislike it. 5- psychedelics should be taken just for fun...this is simply wrongminded. while it's certainly not a sin to have fun and thoroughly enjoy yourself while tripping, it's NOT why you should be tripping. you SHOULD enjoy yourself most times, but when that becomes the sole reason for your experiences, it can lead to them becoming sour, and will never benefit you. 6- psychedelics communicate the answers and will lead to enlightenment - this is among the most dangerous misperceptions among psychedelic enthusiasts. psychedelics can LEAD you to an answer, but more importantly they bring up questions and force YOU to find an answer or let it hang there. more often the not the Lesson is that there is no Question, and the questions you can come up with are meaningless when faced with a clearer vision of reality. sometimes what is revealed to you is metaphor, sometimes meaningless, sometimes it's truth. psychedelics wont do the work for you and should not be treated as a spiritual shortcut. they are a tool and nothing more. i've experienced many states of mind that many people would consider thoroughly frightening and reality-shaking. certainly to me they were the latter, but not the former. but then, i've never had a wholly bad trip yet, though i've definitely experienced PARTS of trips that were uncomfortable or even at the time unpleasant. but with the right dosage, the right mindset, in a comfortable setting and with proper knowledge of ones own limits and mental resilience, entirely bad trips can usually be avoided. trust me, from the sound of it, you ought to wait a bit. learn all you can, then after a while you should try experimenting firsthand and getting comfortable with the primary effects, THEN start some real exploration. take care and i hope you take this to heart. i'm a very avid proponent of psychedelic use and spirituality, though in real life i tend to usually keep quiet about it. but unlike most religions and spiritual organizations, i am fully aware that this is NOT for everyone, and i'm also willing to admit this path certainly DOES carry risks and consequences. you wont get stuck in a trip or go crazy or damage your chromosomes or spinal cord, these are all myths, but you CAN change your life and your mind in ways that you MAY NOT find to be for the better..... if you ever reach ego death and encounter a great void, you'll understand more about life, death, the cosmos, god(s/esses), etc. than you ever thought possible. but to some the void is love, release, compassion, freedom, pure spiritual awareness.....and to others, trapped in dogmatic and mythocentric mindsets will find the emptiness cold and desolate. the revelation will be the same, but the implications will be different. for one person it can be liberating, joyous, enlightening, and reassuring. there is nothing to fear. to another, it may well completely attack and shatter your whole understanding of life and death and creation. it can be, for some, frightening and disturbing, and it may later be chalked up to "insanity" or the work of evil, but for the devotees, for the ones that have learned and accepted and for those who were simply reaffirmed, these are clearly seen as weak attempts towards reconcilliation with your former beliefs. a profound experience may inspire one towards liberation, or may send one running for comfort. comfort, perhaps, found by even stricter adherence to the beliefs and traditions and myths that are torn asunder by the void...
I don't like them in chocolate. I usually just eat them plain (the taste doesn't bother me) or put them in tea (but the only times I've done tea I've gotten a bad stomach ache.. although it may have been the mushrooms because everytime I've done them in tea it's been with the same mushrooms)
the mushrooms shouldnt make a difference so long as you're talking particular batch rather than particular species. most of the G.I. disturbance people feel during the onset of a mushroom trip is due to the difficulty of digesting the fungal matter. thats why tea is a better idea for many people who complain of nausea when taking mushrooms, because so long as you strain the solid material off after you've steeped it for a while, there should be almost no fungal matter to digest. its just some of the chemicals in the mushroom (notably psilocin, psilocybin and baeocystin, though i'm sure there's a few non-psychoactive components to the preparation that originated within the mushroom and give it that fungal underflavor) and whatever you use to flavor the tea. i like earl grey and honey best, myself. however, since your body has to do so much less work to get the goodies when you make tea, it can come on a LOT faster (i.e. you can feel the first effects in about 10 minutes usually) especially if you drink it quickly. so i suggest not drinking it too quickly. sipping over the course of half an hour is a good idea. still, when its just one cup of tea i have to consume i generally drink it too quickly, so i tend to just make diluted batches. i'll make a whole pot of tea with one dose of mushrooms in it, so that i have to drink 3-4 cups to get everything out of it. that helps slow me down and keep from coming on too fast. the problem is that if you just chug the stuff, it can make you sick just as if you had eaten them. of course, as with any drug, every individual is different. some people (such as me) swear by tea as a great means of bypassing nausea, but for some other people they get sick if they drink tea but not if they eat the mushrooms. as for chocolates, i've never done that myself. i DO advise against EVER buying premade chocolates regardless of who's selling them to you and what you're told about them. if you want chocolates, they're super easy to make at home yourself. if you want to get what you paid for, settle for nothing less than whole, properly dried mushrooms that have been weighed out. chocolates are a common scam in my neck of the woods. you put 2.5-3g in some chocolate, tell people there's an eighth in there, and then charge $15-25 per "eighth" if they skimped on a mere half a gram per chocolate they would get nine "eighths" plus one extra gram out of every ounce. that means they're making an extra 20 bucks or so for mushrooms that should have gone into honest sacks. besides, it costs virtually NOTHING to grow mushrooms, and absolutely nothing to wildcraft them. pot cultivation involves a lot of soil, electricity bills, nutrients, equipment, etc. equipment and nutrition for mushrooms is dirt cheap (grain and mason jars) and they don't require special lighting. also, spores are legal and inexpensive, and can go a LONG way. mushrooms grow far faster than cannabis, and are more compact so the same amount of space can easily yield FAR more in mushrooms than it would when devoted to cannabis. so why does one mild dose (3.5g) of mushrooms cost as much as an eighth of pot? the demand isn't HUGE, it costs far less and takes less time to produce, its easy to do and while it would legally be more risky, the risk is actually quite lower than with growing pot because its much more inconspicuous. so the answer to the price question is simply this: greed. the psychedelic movement has been polluted with greedy quick-money-seeking assholes who care nothing about the potential and, dare i say, holiness of these substances. simply because people will PAY up to 30 dollars for an eighth of mushrooms, everyone wants to charge as much as possible. i used to grow mushrooms, and i had a friend who could find people willing to pay 60 an eighth for cubensis because they had rich parents and didn't know any better. it's digusting how high the markup is. honestly, an eighth of mushrooms shouldnt cost more than 10-15 dollars. but sadly, the market price is 20-30USD, and so thats what you have to expect to pay. but when you're being so blatantly taken advantage of as a consumer, there are certain things you DESERVE to be able to demand. that is proper weight and proper drying. you can't determine if either of these is right if you're buying a chocolate, and it is VERY common to get skimpy chocolates. if you're going to be paying out the ass for a single dose, you deserve to at least have the peace of mind that you know you're at getting what you paid for. BOYCOTT CHOCOLATES they can be a fun treat, but they can EASILY be homemade and be however strong you desire. but remember - you're already being ripped off if you pay for mushrooms, so NEVER give dealers an EXTRA opportunity to rip you off more. make sure you see them weighed out in front of you!
well first is should be noted I think they taste good but the way I did it was to grind up three grams (i used my bud grinder, the blender seemed like a lot of effort for the amount in question) and mixed with a cup of orange juice. Stir until purple (don't think it makes a dif it just looks cool) and drink. it tastes kinda like a melted orange julius
wow nesta thx for the info. ill be sure to read up on those things. haha greengoddess ill be sure not to do it w/pizza lol.
i made tea last night and i tripped harder then ive ever tripped before, theses mushrooms were already intense and the tea made them soo much more intense, i was the only one who did mushrooms last night and i got jimi hendrix plays berkly dvd for christmas and i didnt watch it until last night and it got too much i had to get my friends to turn it off, i also saw my friends face turn into a grid of squares and each square of his face started to seperate from eachother and it was like there were squares of my friends face floating around where his head and face should be. definitally most fun ive had in a long time
They do taste nasty, but I've associated the taste of mushrooms with the amazing trip that they give you so it doesn't really taste too bad to me. I bought some shrooms that were already dipped in chocolate and hardened. They tasted pretty good.
wow that sounds soooooo much fun about the floating squares knowing me i would try to re arrange them and make real funny faces w/them lol.
I took 4 grams and threw up, but I was tripping really hardcore. I think the experience would of been better without the nausea, and I was feeling kinda sick all day, so I shouldn't of taken them anyway. About 3 mins after I started eating them colors got brighter, 10 mins later I was noticing movements, 20 mins later I was already seeing the full moving patterns, 40 mins later I barely knew where I was, 1 hour later I didn't even know who I was. This would of been a lot easier without the crushing nausea, I think im going to make tea next time and triple strain it through a coffee filter, and maybe water it down a bit just so its less nauseating.
