Best Method of Ingestion

A friend and I are getting shrooms this weekend, and each plan to take 3 grams. It will be our first time. We have everything worked out, and know that they are good (a friend of ours tripped on 2 grams the other night).

What would you all recommend is the best method of ingestion?
This will probably be my only time doing it for a while, so I want to make the experience a memorable one. I have read up on many different ways, and right now I find myself most partial to:

-Tea (though the possibility of a slimy, globbed up mess is unappealing)
-Orange Juice/blended mushrooms (wouldn't want to lose any to the blender)
-Chewing for like 10 minutes and swallowing (obviously not very tasty)

What has been your best experience? I want the most efficient method possible. I would really appreciate any input you guys could offer.

 

I love chocolates and tea myself...ive never tryed OJ mix but i hear thats a good method.

The chocs and the tea are great because theres no gradual comeup, they hit you all at once...its like a psychedelic punch to the head, haha

 

I always like to eat each cap and stem with a little bit of granola bar around it. It seems to take away the gross flavor of the shrooms. I can only describe the taste of shrooms by themselves as resembling the taste that dirt would have.

 

Just mix shrooms with orange juice and chew them a few times to break big ones into smaller pieces and swallow... ur stomach will pick up everything what is needed to establish connection with universe

 

i just eat em, wash em down with some juice or pop then BAM, you wait a lil bit then you're trippin

 

I just eat them like any other food, if there is a drink around I will drink it afterwards, they dont taste THAT bad as long as they are cleaned properly. And there is no need to chew for 10 minutes, your bodies absorbtion begins as soon as it touches your tongue

 

agreed, just eat them. the taste doesn't bother me much at all, and you're only eating 3 grams anyway. i hear some people use peanut butter to combat the flavor if you really hate it. slow absorption could be of value i suppose, because the come-up on mushrooms is almost the best part.

 

just think of the taste as GETTING HIGH, thye dont even taste bad, eat them with granola if u want, and drink milk or juice or iced tea or coke, chew them good so your stomach doesnt have to tear them up for you.

and i thought the same thing about the blender... but if you have a "magic bullet that would work.

or cut them up reallllly good and put them in yogurt

 

Hey thanks for all the help.

Another question now:
I recently spoke with my accomplice and he would rather just trip out at home. It gets really old smoking pot with him because he just gets lazy and chills on the couch, whereas I enjoy going outside and enjoying my high.

I figure if this is to be my only time using shrooms for a while, I would rather go out to a park or a beach or something, I figure tripping outside would be so much better.

How do you experienced trippers feel about this?

 

Outside is definitely better, by far, especially with mushrooms for me. Inside tends to look ugly, particularly when you're feeling more connected with nature - I say since you're going to commune with nature, you might as well...commune with nature lol. For sure go outside, it'll be way more amazing. See, mother nature gave us mushrooms, so obviously she knew what they were about - and gave us amazing scenery to look at and creatures to trip with. Man-made shit...not so interesting.

Although, the first time I tripped mushrooms was entirely inside in my basement, and it was quite fun. I don't think your friend would be high on shrooms the same way he gets high with weed, though a few of my friends have a real good time trippin and just sittin around....but one guy took my advice and walked around our dorm a bit, and sat and watched some skaters for like an hour and a half out front and he had a real real tight time, so...

I guess if he's just wanting to sit around, find something stupid/crazy to do in the house. Be the silly one, the instigator. Or convince him to go outside somehow. Or trick him into going outside.

Just try not to be at odds with each other.

 

He's made the point that he will feel tired and doesnt want to be overwhelmed or paranoid or anything. You think that might pose a problem?

 

if you're out in public

 

Yeah so we did them a little while ago, and it turned out to be the greatest experience of my life. Tripping turned out to be absolutely nothing like i had expected it to be. We hung out in a local garden, and everything was perfect. The trip was so draining---physically, mentally, and emotionally, but i regret nothing. Though i could not do it again any time soon, i most definitely will use shrooms the rest of my life. Thanks for all of the help and suggestions. Everything went perfectly.

 

shoulda made a peanutbutter shroom sandwich with LOTS of peanutbutter. and make sure its the chunky kind, you'll never taste the shrooms and you'll barely notice them there, thats what i've always done and worked great for me

 

They really don't taste that bad. They actually don't have to much of a taste at all, but they do still make you gag a bit for some reason. Just put some in your mouth, Drink something and then chew them up with the drink in your mouth.

 

Yeah I actually just decided to man up and chew and swallow. It wasn't bad at all. Just washed it down with a little bit of Mountain Dew. In fact, once we got back in the car and licked the rest of the bag.

 

i jus chew them up and swallow and when im done i drink some Vitamin C water from like 7 11 that shit is so bomb and it makes me trip alll night

 

They are the foulest tasting thing I've ever tasted.... I don't eat them no more, ever. They fuck up my stomach and make me sick for (largely) the whole trip. TeA is for Me!

 

^Amen i feel you on that one brother. I dont eat them unless its tea or chocolates. As soon as they go in my mouth before i even taste them i gag. I hate the slow comeup i always suffer through causei have to eat them at a rate of a cap every 5 minutes cause they're so gross. Tea and chocolates hit me all at once its so tight

 

i dont mind the taste so much as the texture. of course, i've never managed to actually eat more than a half eighth in one go. that is, assuming we're discussing dried weight. i prefer fresh mushrooms entirely, though, and if i can ever get them fresh, thats ALWAYS a good thing. of course you have to eat roughly ten times as much in terms of weight, but the texture is more bearable and the entirity of the weight difference is made up of water, so the flavor is less strong as well.


since i usually grew my own when i used to trip a lot, i just made tea. if i had dried mushrooms sometimes i'd get it broken up as well as i could and stuff a few grams into several gelatin capsules. this was good except that i had to wait for the gelating to dissolve, and then the mushroom matter was still rough on my GI tract and made me vomit. plus i'd get nasty mushroom-flavored burps caused by stomach upset and air trapped in the capsules (couldnt get the mushrooms into a powdery consistancy, so a lot of air was in the capsules, and i had to take at least 6 or 7)

i almost exclusively drink mushroom tea rather than eat mushrooms. i prefer the quicker onset, the much more bearable consistancy, and the fact that the flavor of the tea is EASILY masked by any strongly flavored tea or herbal tea. one of my favorites was constant comment or earl grey, but orange herbal teas are good too...basically any tea you want. and if the mushroom-y taste is still too apparent for your liking, make a second cup of regular tea or herbal tea and combine them, diluting it. iced tea with a psilocin twist is a nice psychedelic treat, and can be consumed quite quickly!

next time i have mushrooms, i'm using a bag or two of a spiced black chai tea.
