Horrible first time trip... try again or is that a bad idea???

Ok so I did shrooms for my first time back in October and well let's say I had a bad trip...let me give you some background information on it.

I was with two of my good friends in a forest on a bench, that's probably my first mistake right? Anyway, I am a occasional pot smoker and about 45 minutes after ingesting the shrooms we smoked a blunt...2nd mistake? After that the shrooms started kicking in and I was enjoying myself. It was intense but enjoyable looking at the trees. Shortly after my friend started throwing up in the forest so my other friend and I got up and stood on the trail path just looking at each other like... "oh shit." It was really getting intense now, I felt like I was being pushed into the ground by the trees overhanging above me. From then on the craziest shit went through my head and I was incapable of socializing or really doing anything. I just tried to control myself and let it ride until it was over, thank God I was successful because it was probably the scariest thing that's happened to me in my life...

So that's my shroom trip. My question is... do I dare try them again? Lots of my friends just love them but should I try them in a different environment? I am just very fearful of having the same trip or flashbacks of the first trip on my 2nd trip. But then again I think to myself..."what the hell? I got through the first one in a god damned forest I'm sure if this one sucks I can get through it in a house or apartment or some better environment." Anyway, do you guys often have the same trips over and over again and do you think its a good or bad idea for me to try shrooms again? Thank you so much in helping me make my decision.

 

maybe you should take less, for example have a few lower doses to find out where your head is then venture back to the forest

 

I had a horrific trip on mushrooms the first two times that I did them and then I realized that I'm ultra sensitive to psilocybin so after adjusting my dosage one day.. in an attempt to get a body buzz from some locally picked (approx 1 gram maybe 1.2 grams) dried Cubensis I had an amazing trip. A trip that is the equivalent to someone ingesting 3.5 to 4.5 grams of dried mushrooms. It was really amazing and from that point on mushrooms have been my 2nd favorite psychoactive substance.

 

Ok sounds good, my first time I had 2 g's of dried, of what my friend said, "bomb" shrooms. So apparently they were pretty potent but next time i'll just go for a gram and maybe just get a body buzz which I am totally cool with. I'd rather under do it than over do it this time.

 

My first three trips kinda freaked me out a bit so I ate a little less and it was great. Once you have a good trip and understand why people rave about them you'll pretty much enjoy all of your trips. Just do them somewhere you can change the setting up if you want because that plays a HUGE role in your trip.

 

i wouldnt recomend smoking a blunt eather especially if you dont smoke alot. whenever i trip a blunt tend to "blast" me off into crazyness is all that can describe it. Not smoking should reduce the intensity a little bit and also def reduce the dossage.

 

pot shouldn't have that much of an effect, but your mental state and environment, the people you trip with, do have a huge impact on whether you have a good or bad trip

i do agree that starting with a lower dosage and working your way up is likely the best way to go for you though

happy trails!

 

That is exactly how I felt after we smoked it.

 

i think next time u should take double what u had first

 

Haha, oh shit that'd be bad news. But God damn I am excited to get my hands on some shrooms soon hopefully this week and trip within the next 2-3 weeks. I feel a lot better about it now. I was nervous as hell the first time I smoked weed for some reason as I was with shrooms and had a bad time both times but the 2nd time I smoked weed I absolutely loved it so hopefully shrooms follow that same path with a smaller dose though of course.

 

How about drinking a few beers before eating the shrooms? I usually feel a lot more mellowed out after a few beers so it might ease the nerves for the come up.

 

Shrooms and beer would make me puke my face off.

 

hahaha, agreed! 'shrooms always make me wanna hurl anyway, so i wouldn't want to ingest anything that would enhance the "puke factor" any more than what i'm already dealing with

 

Yea i had a pretty bad incident on shrooms with alcohal...

I had some 80 proof rum in a water bottle (instead of taking the whole bottle..l filled up the water bottle for convience (sp?))... But neway i forgot about the bottle untill i was on the shrooms, then somehow i forgot what was in it so i drank the rum like water.. and it hit me like a brick.. I layed on a couch for 4 hours untill i passed out....All i was saying is that i didnt want to be a puddle anymore... i threw up on my shirt once, and split some rum on me...

Now i look back and what a waste of a mush trip... bummer, but im sure if u drink a lot less, it could be fun..

Btw if u trip in a forest at night, in winter (with the trees all scary lookin).. gotta keep the good mindset.. Are u ready for another example . lol.

Well... My friend and I were in the woods, at night, everything was great (it was fall, some trees had leaves but many didnt) Everything was great untill my one friend i was with killed the good mood by saying "Man, This looks like that blair witch project movie" Wow, that was probably the worst trip of my life, we ended up running full speed out of the wood, through prickers and throns.. it was crazy, i felt like i was running for my life..

Now the conclusion for that story: Bring an Ipod with u, Jam to something nice and calm (Grateful Dead. etc.) oh and dont say nethin that might freak ur friends out.ha.
hope u didnt think u wasted too much time reading this stuff.

Have fun on ur next trip man.

EDIT: I always wanted to goto Omaha NE. Thats where 311 is from.. Omaha Stylee
