worth it?

i am thinking of doing shrooms for the first time. i have smoked pot quite a few times but thats pretty much it. iv been really intrested in having a serious experience like this for a while, and for quite a bit i have been tossing up between shrooms and acid and chose shrooms cause im a little more intrested in the natural stuff. anyway, the main problem i have got is that i know you shouldnt take any psychedelic drugs until your in the right state of mind and i have been trying to get into a really comfortable state of mind for a while but i still feel a bit nervous and anxious. i have heaps of friends who have had bad trips and have basically been screwed in the head for a bit, and im really nervous about any psychological effects.
some advice or info would be a lot appreciated, like loss of ego, what is that?

 

In my opinion, you should wait until you are older. Regardless, "Ask Erowid" gives a pretty good explanation of ego loss: http://www.erowid.org/ask/ask.cgi?ID=2758

 

Yes!!!

 

yes, but know your limits.

 

if you have doubts then don't do it...research it until you are 100% sure you want to try.
also, bad trips seem to come out of fighting the effects of whatever drug you take. so relax and let it flow.

 

remember to let go of the couch and flow with it.

 

fuck yeah i had my first trip when i was 14 and the only reason i bought the shrooms was bc i was drunk i owe drinking to letting me experience shrooms

 

yes you should trip.. if u have a comfortable place to trip where you wont be bothered and you have as much time as you need, your only question should be the dose. i pretty much always recommend taking at least an eighth, but if u really arnt sure then only take half and eighth.

 

Generally, one would say "wait til you're older". But I'd simply advise that you wait til you're mature, regardless of age. I guess it could be hard to figure out how mature one is, by one's self...

 

Good advice, I was reading everyone elses posts, and was gonna post something like that

 

^^^ that is sound advise too. Be sure you will be-able to handle what happens. If anything take 1g then if you like it take 3g-4g the next week or so. Try not to take doses withen 3days of each other.

 

like above. let the shit flow, dont try to stop anything from happening or youll start a bad trip. and just be in a comfortable place.
