Beginners Guide to Mushrooms

Magic Mushrooms (The true food of the gods)

This guide is for those who have questions about mushrooms and i will share what i have found to be the true answers through trial and error.

There are 3 Factors
*Environment
*Mood
*Dose

*Environment
- Stay somewhere you are comfortable around people you trust.
- Walks outdoors are amazing but avoid crouded places
- A change of environment can make a trip switch gears
example - if you feel weird about being inside your room go outside

*Mood
- If you are not excited and happy dont do them
- A bad mood will mean a Bad trip and no one wants a bad trip
- If something is bothering you do not do them wait for another day

*Dose
- For beginners i would reccomend 3.5g (an eighth)
- You should consume the entire eighth at the beginning of the trip
- Do not worry nausea is common
- Avoid Dairy products

How you can expect your trip to go:
- Mushrooms dont taste good
- After you have eaten your eighth expect to wait 35-55minutes before feeling effects
- nausea may occur, should feel like butterflies this is common
- the butterflies go away after 10-20minutes
- If you insist on vomiting 1st try walking outside for it may ease the nausea
- it takes 2-3hours before things are in full swing
- A trip normally lasts 6-8hours so be prepared with cool movies to watch and awesome music to listen to.
- As you come down you will feel tired this is again common

Random Notes:
You can NOT die from magic mushrooms
Nausea WILL go away (dont worry be happy)
If you smoke weed it will break down barriers and make the trip come on harder and faster
Skipping supper should reduce nausea and make the effects come on faster

Thanks for reading hope this helps with any questions/concerns
questions/comments are welcome

 

Wow, this is really solid, good job. Why avoid Dairy products??

 

i just posted a thread about my first experience with shrooms.. and i tripped hard.. really hard. off of a half a cap and a stem.... is that normal. i feel like if i would have eaten an eighth i would have fucking shit myself... because i was tripping HARD. you seem pretty knowledgable about this... please read my thread and tell me what you think (it has alot more info) its titles "first shroom trip...some insight please"

thankyou!

 

Well it could have just been a very potent mushroom, that's all. I looked at your picture of it and it was definitely of a variety that I haven't seen. How many times have you tripped before? Tripping is all relative, and that may not have even been a strong trip if you haven't experienced one before.

 

VaporDude: from my experience dairy products cause an increase in nausea if digested before eating the mushrooms

 

Oh, some people I know try to perpetuate a myth that drinking milk with bring you down at anytime. I know this is not true because I like to drink milk while I am tripping, it is amazing.

 

An 8th is a good starting dose if you have Psilocybe Cubensis, which is the most commonly available of the magic mushrooms, there are a lot of other mushrooms out there that are a whole lot more potent, I saw a girl up north take suggestion of eating an 8th for a first trip, she had wild picked wavy caps and freaked the fuck out, be an the watch around mulch piles in the northwest them cyans are coming out a little late down here.

 

thanks a lot man for posting this thread, i've really been interested in getting some of these for awhile now but they're just way hard to get. should i get them? are they worth the money/trouble? would you reccomend tripping with a friend(s)? should someone sober be there?

 

ok this is what I would suggest:
if you are over 18 then Yes do them for you should being doing them for the knowledge aspects not for a party drug.
If you are the least bit interested in trying them i say do it! They are worth the trouble of finding/getting them.
I would recomend you trip with 1-2 of your best friends
but it is ok to have a sober friend with you and trip by yourself

 

so if im not 18 then no? cause im reallly interested in these and am looking forward to the experience

 

yeah, you are right i just figure as a mojority of people under 18 arent interested in mind expansion, best of luck and feel free to ask more questions

 

alright thanks man

 

lol idk man im 16 my best friend is 16 and we are VERY interested in expanding our minds...

 

I like the OP. However, recommending that eveyone eat an 1/8th without knowing the potency of the shrooms is insane. With quality indoor Cubensis 1 gram max for noobies. 1.75 for the more experinced. Damn near every guy that told me 'dude I always eat an 1/8th', came back crying or scared as fuck.

 

An 8th is the average dose and by average i mean assuming that the shrooms you have are actually potent.
Most people do mushrooms for mind expansion and on less than 3.5g of high-end mushrooms you will only reach a sense of euphoria, not the high that most seek.
To fully experience the aspect of what the mushrooms are used for you have to take a decent dose (3.5g-4g)

everyone is entitled to their opinion and i stand by my OP on this one

 

And in response to Deech:

As I said before I only see the age 18 as a maturity generalization. I am not for or against anyone under 18 doing mushrooms, my OP is solely for those with questions.

Happy to hear that you and your friend are on a quest for knowledge, I would definately start it with Research, erowid.com is a great place.

 

Imo most people looking to use shrooms and other things as "party" drugs probably won't be doing any research, and just take them at a party and eather freak out or have a good time.

Most people asking questions here will proably have good intentions. Unless you acount for the fact that shrooms are illegal....

Mckenna said "when in doubt double your dose"

 

Good job Stone Tree,
MM arn't as popular as they ust to be and the knowlegde about them has disapeared. With new chemicals and them becoming cheaper and more avaible people forget the word of the natural Highs, Which in some cases are the most reliable.
Just abit on the dose, Not to scare or be annyoing.
But the does does really matter on the type of Mushroom, where you got them, and the state.(dry, fresh)
If picking, Then you should know what your doing and what type your getting.
If buying from a dealer, Know your stuff
Be with someone that has done them before . .
That's my advice
"knowledge aspects not for a party drug."
Yes, Mushrooms are NOT a party drug.
If these are taking at a party, you will most proberly have a bad trip.
Bad trips arn't just scary kids . . They can lead to suicide in cases.

 

good job on this...this is exactly what i needed to see before i did mushrooms..especially since i drank choclate milk with mushrooms i threw up alot
