thinking of starting shrooms, any advice anyone?

lately iv been thinking of starting taking shrooms or lsd...but although iv heard stories good and bad id like to know more about what can go wrong, what can go right etc... any help or advice is much appreciated.
peace

 

hello flower, thats groovy that ur considering shrooms first of all and the trip abides by your previous mindset or while your hitting them. having a positive attitiude will porbably mean a good trip(depending on the amount u take) and if your in a shitty mood than your bound to have a terrifiying trip...perhaps. it varys really. have a good trip

peace and love

 

im never really in a bad mood...as far as i know about shrooms i have the perfect mindframe for taking them thanks a lot.
peace

 

Start with low doses, if you do shrooms.. take about 7g, if you do lsd, take half of a blotter.
When you do low doses there is little more change that you will get caught in emotions of fear (because you underrestimated the effects, or maybe because the effect wern't what you expected?).
I can't give you advise on lsd, since i never done it.. hard to get here.
But i have done several shroom trips, you should start with a low dose of mexican shrooms if you can get them.
I personally experienced that there are 2 very important things during a trip:
1. Be open to the fact that anything can happen during a trip - seeing unexpected things might cause fear, and the feeling of fear is hard to get out once you are caught in it during a trip .
2. The place where you do the trip, this must be at a very familiar place, a place were you feel comfortable, this could be your room, or maybe your backyard, also, you could do it with a friend somewhere in a large field, i don't recommend it to do it alone when you're outside your house. Also, do it at daylight, i once did it during night at a friends house.. and i got paranoia like hell and shit.

And once you become a more experienced "psychonaut" you should be more or the less able to avoid bad trips .

 

History channel is running a segment on LSD and peyote this weekend. What Pellinore said

 

I would agree that you have got to try to be open-minded about things that you may see. And try not to hang around JERKS that may turn a good trip into a bad one. The first time I did mushrooms with my boyfriend a a couple friends of ours, we decided to go for a long walk at like 12:00 am to smoke a doobie. So we were walking and earlier that day (before we took the mushrooms) we watched the movie "It" which is about an evil clown. I am extremely TERRIFIED of clowns, you must understand, and while we were walking, my boyfriend decided to say "Hey Monica, they all float down here." In a REALLY FUCKING CREEPY voice. And that happens to be what the clown says in the movie. I started freaking out and ran away, without paying attention to where I was going, I just ran, I almost died, honestly. But I have done it sooo many more times than just that once and all my other trips were fine.

 

I'm not old, but I have quite a decent amount of experience with both LSD and magic mushrooms. I'll try and go in dept a little about both of them..

Shrooms first. First of all, they come with a pretty big mental trip, reality really does seem to fall apart at medium and high doses, and all things you helt for truth might be swept away in confusion. Always try and remember in your trip, however weird you'll feel, you'll be normal in a few hours so you might aswell get the most out of it.
I advise starting with a low dose, if you have dried shrooms, don't take more then 3 grams for a first time. Where I live shrooms are (now still atleast) legal and we get them fresh, 3 grams dried equals one portion of fresh shrooms here, and thats already quite intense for some people, so for the first few trips I advice not going above that dosage.
If you're well informed and with good friends around you in a safe and beautiful place not much can go wrong. If you're generally mentally stable and feel good about yourself you'll likely have a beautiful experience that you'll never forget. If you however take it at the wrong place, with the wrong people, unprepared if might feel very uncomfortable.
The hardest part about shrooms would be the confusion, you might feel as if everything seems twisted, weird, but strangely clear. Try and not let it matter what you know, but only what you feel, because they can feel pretty nice to be one.

Now to LSD, my personal favorite of the two.. I can start with telling LSD trips last atleast twice as long as shroom trips. They're a little more energizing and a little less confusing. On LSD you can't lie to yourself, your mind feels clear but thoughts then to be racing. Unlike shrooms, you're usually very aware of how things are, you might just feel and think different about them.
LSD is a lot more visual then shrooms compared to the amount of mindfuck you get with it, low doses might almost be purely visuals with the 'trippy feeling'. Another element of LSD is that it makes your intuition work much stronger, you might feel people's intentions a lot more. Thats why its wise to avoid busy public places when you're not well experienced with it yet. Another aspect is how much the atmophsere and feeling of the place you are is stronger. Everything around you is just.. more intense. Luckely the visuals tend to still make everything beautiful. LSD feels quite clear, but is really strong in its own way, if you take the feelings and intuition part included its a very intense experience, in that aspect stronger then shrooms, although shrooms are still a lot more confusing (I talked to dozens of people about this, all of them agree).
With LSD I suggest start with half a blotter. I also advice only taking on blotter, because blotters now a days are still very clean. I had some tested, and all the ones I ever had were pure good quality LSD, and even decent amounts of UG's. You can take more after 2 or 3 hours if the effects are too weak, if you wait longer you'll only make your trip longer, not stronger. If you don't wait that long, you might not have peaked yet and take too much. There's no way to predict how good blotters aroudn where you live are, but don't take more then one for the first time, there still are blottesr with more then 100 ug on them going aroudn and as a first trip at your age I wouldn't advice more then that.

Well.. I hope you will open your mind, discover it, and like what you find, goodluck on your psychedelic experiences

 

thanks a lot for all your help, i really do appreciate it. also i know of this really beautiful place, a place that you would only really see in fairy tales, this is where i was planning on trying shrroms or lsd but the only problem is that its by a river, my friend lives near the place so i was going to ask him to come with me and keep an eye on me as hes not the type of person to fuck me around when im tripping. What i want to know though is if its safe to trip near a river?.
peace

 

can anyone tell me if theres a difference between acid and lsd, some people have said that acid is stronger and others have told me that its the same but im not sure as where im living im only able to get acid, not lsd
