I'm thinking of trying shroms for the first time, I tried acid before but I heard it can be way different than shrooms, I got gold tops, how long does the trip last, (some people say it can last 6 hours, some say 12, even some say 2-3 hours) tripping indoors or outdoors?
The trip can last for 4-6 hours and you can feel after affects for several hours after that ( I for example have a hard time sleeping after tripping on mushrooms and always crave taco vell bean burritos and orange soda when I come down) Trip where ever you can do so safely but outdoors in the woods by some running water is amazing. Shrooms always give me a more of a stoned hazy feeling than acid where I don't want to move. Lastly the proper name for gold tops is Psilocybe cubensis.
The shroom trip is much closer to 6 hours and then maybe with some lingering effects for a bit afterwards. I think nature is the optimal location for a shroom trip, they can be good indoors as well and in darkness but I prefer outdoors. While the trips have a different style to them, if you handle acid well, you'll most likely handle shrooms well, although keep in mind; mindset, enviornment and dose all are contributing factors to a trip. I took 3.5 grams my first time and it was a powerful trip which I gained a tremendous amount of appreciation and respect towards mushrooms, nature and the psychedelic experience.
Could I take less, like two clubs and two stems? I want the minamal expierence so I can get use to it better, and to make it more comfortable,
I'm of the sacramental type viewpoint with psychedelics where you thoroughly dissolve your consciousness on the initial trip with a psychedelic substance than adjust from there but you can dose however you want. I wouldn't go below 1.75 grams (half eighth) as depending on the shrooms that may not be enough to generate the full effects of a mushroom trip.
Two grams is my minimum dose to get a good trip. Fast for 6 hours before you take the mushrooms so your stomach is empty which will help speed ip uptake of the psilocin.
