Last weekend me and a buddie each got an eighth of some dried shrooms it was his first time it was my second, it was about 70% caps which I here gives u the head trip, we drank some orange juice to wash them down but my friend couldnt finsh his so he gave me like .5grams of his, so I ended up eating over 4 grams, but no matter how hard i tried, i wasnt tripping or seeing any visuals i only had a mild body high and my thoughts in my head were driving me insane, i did see some things as wavy or moving a little at times, but my friend told me even though he ate less he saw faces on shit in my room and he was tripping harder and having a better time than me. Why dont I trip? do some people just not trip? or was it the wrong envirment or something? or did i eat to much for only my 2nd time? I also did smoke some bud while I was shrooming, could that play any part? cus im never doing shrooms again if its like that every time, i mean it was kinda fun but not worth the money, plus i was fucking out of my mind for like 9 hours it just got to be too much
Well they don't sound like they were bunk; in all honesty that's shrooms for you, they really can vary SO much in their potency/effects. I'm sure many people can agree that they've had mind blowing experiences on half an eighth if they are really good or in your case, had only a dissociative/fucked in the head trip w/o visuals on an eighth +. My last personal trip was a little disappointing on the visual end and they were grown from the exact same batch as other shrooms that gave me loads of visuals. Just take the trip as it comes and for what it is at the time and you should never really be disappointed.
Are you sure your friend wasn't exaggerating his affects or something? I've known people who would do that kind of thing. It's definitely true that sometimes even in the same batch, shrooms can vary a lot...but 4 gms would definitely do a lot unless they were really bad.
I've had 4gs that were extremely weak, in terms of intensity like 1 hit of blotter. very mild mindshift, very mild and subtle visuals, extremely faint ego-softening. I could have driven a car no problem, for example. So yeah it happens.
