Hopefully doing some over the holidays.

Never done mushrooms before, looking forward to possibly getting some within the week. I don't have many questions because all your posts have answered them, along with erowid/other drug websites. I can't wait though, it'll be beautiful. If I can't get shrooms I'll hopefully be able to get something else...Salvia, opium, LSD. I just really need some change/something new. Smoking weed gets old after a while, I feel like I'm not getting anything more out of it. Anyway, hope the other people tripping over the holidays have a great time

One thing I haven't decided yet - dosage. I'm not sure how well I can handle it, but I want it to be worth it. I'm thinking the usual first-timer 3.5g. Maybe just 3g. How much did you take/wish you'd taken your first time?

 

i took an eigth and it was a bit much for a first time, i think 2.5 should suffice.
oh and a word of wisdom- turn your phone off.

 

i took an 1/8 the first tme and it was alright but its prolly better 2 start lower 3grams sounds good. haha yea turning ur phone off is a good idea one time someone called my friend while we were tripping and while on the phone he thought he was talking to his friend but then he thought he was talking to his mom and he freaked out.. lol

 

I wish I ate 3.5g my first time. It is the perfect dose for a chill trip. Not too strong and not too weak.....just right.

 

It all depends on the strain. I've had some trips where 1/4 barely gave me audios and i've had others where a 1/16 would leave me in a very pleasant psychotic state for four hours.
soo... start low. the worst thing that can happen is you won't trip hard core (not a very bad thing for your first time).

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably end up doing 2.5-3, I'll just see how I feel that day. Good thing I don't have a phone, no need to worry there.

 

Also, don't look at a clock. You will get stuck in a fookin long zone that will seem to last forever, and you just can't look away from the clock, as much as you want to, because you just can't help but continue to stare. And some people get anxious when they look into the mirror while tripping. I don't know why.

 

Yeah, I've heard about the mirror thing. I'll try not to look at clocks, that'll be kind of hard though, I probably won't be staying in one place. I'll smoke a little right after I take them if I feel nervous/anxious. When I'm stoned I always feel comfortable with anything/feel like I could take anything without the nerves creeping up.

 

Plus, smoking can really intensify a mushroom trip; visually and mentally.

 

Ok. So I guess I'll be fine with 2.5-3 g

 

my first time I took 7g dried and had the most profound, emotional, and enlightening experience ever. I cried for 30 minutes at this beautiful spirit in the sky, basically god showing me his face.

On 1/8ths I get colored patterns in my vision, varying from rainbow whirlpools all over shit and colors goin wack on everything
to blatant aztec patterns on everything, fade into different colors and spin slowly, that was a very tight trip also lol.

I find if I do em at night, all alone, by myself, no matter how much I do I have a fuckin blast listenin to music and doin whatever.

 

Yeah, I'd love to do them alone once I get more experienced, but it'd probably make me really paranoid having my parents right down the hall. I know I'd love it alone though cause I highly, highly prefer tokin the reefer alone. A lot less joking around, a lot more learning. And I think I'll hold off on the high doses for now, that'll come later

 

How much do you weigh?
Thats a place to start with dosage but another is how comfortabole you are with yuor self on a day to day bassis.

Also if your looking for something new please stay away fomr opiates.
I feel in to those for a while and it was pure hell.

 

I weigh around 125 lbs, give or take a few. My mental state fluctuates, but lately has been more frequently on the content side. I feel very comfortable moving on to mushrooms. I'm not going to be ignorant and rule out the possibility of a bad trip, it's always there, I'm just not fearing it. When I was going to try acid a few months ago, I anticipated having a bad trip, I was scared and have since realized that at that point I wasn't ready for psychedelics. I'm actually glad the acid deal fell through and I never ended up taking it. I've grown a lot mentally since then and have absolutely no fears of psychedelics. Not because of ignorance, but because I'm simply content knowing that I might have a bad trip. And the only opiate I'm interested to take in the future is opium. I'm not saying I'll never try the others, but having an interest in a drug is normally what keeps me going/gets me to try it. I especially don't want to get into the pills...my dad's side of the family has a huge history of addiction, mainly pills. I appreciate the concern though.

Sorry for the rambling, I have no excuse
