Well, largely due to what is written throughout Hip Forums, me and a friend have decided to take the plunge from weed to shrooms. Any advice you can give is appreciated. I have to say, I'm kinda scared. I'm afraid I'll have a bad trip. Also, anything you would suggest about any aspect of a first trip would be great. Peace
Bad trip's dont exist in the mushrooms just in set and setting, take them to learn, and then there isnt bad trips. ITS GONNA BE AMAZING OK! Also dont go into it expecting just a fun "trippy" time, dont think of it as another drug, its not just another way to feel good, it will be much more than that and a very real special moment in your life. If you are still unsure take a lower dose at first, like 2g's dried cubensis.
go with the flow, and don't expect anything. i wouldn't recommend more than 2 grams your first time, especially if you're having second thoughts. but don't worry, being nervous your first time is completely normal. people are afraid of what they don't know. but just know that mushrooms are a powerful substance, not to be taken lightly. and with that knowledge, have yourself an enlightening experience!!
"Kiss the snake on the tounge. Kiss the serpent. But if it senses fear, it'll eat us instantly. But if we kiss it without fear, it'll take us through the garden, through the gate, to the other side...Ride the snake." Especially remember "Ride the snake". Best thing to do with psychedelics.
I like your quote OstOsized, who said it? It makes sense. I was told you can steer the trip if you remember what to think about. True? How hard will it be to remember if I have a thought someone told me to specifically think about? Somehow I didn't think trips worked like that. I don't really want to steer, I just want to do this to maybe learn something about myself. I definatley don't want to waste the experience. What do you think are the best ways to avoid a bad trip? How does set/setting effect the experience?
You read OstrOsized's quote, but you didn't pay attention to what was said. It means that if you approach the experience with fear, expecting a bad trip, then you will probably have a difficult experience. If you approach the experience with an open mind and ready to accept whatever the trip has to offer, then you will be more likely to have a rewarding experience. Just keep in mind, while you're tripping, that it is all in your head and that you will be shown lovely things if you just accept what is happening to you. Don't fight it and just relax. Go into the trip happy and comfortable. You ask how set/setting affect the trip? It can influence the trip in almost every way. If you are in an uncomfortable setting or around people you don't feel comfortable with, you may have bad thoughts and this can steer the trip in a negative direction. And vica versa. Just be prepared and stay calm and you'll have nothing to worry about. I hope that's not too confusing. I got the feeling I started rambling somewhere in there. Good luck.
The quote is from The Doors movie. Jim Morrison says that in the movie. I'm not sure if he's quoted for that in real life, but it has a lot to do with some of "The End" lyrics too. And you don't have to specifically remember things for you to have a good trip. Just like TopNotchStoner said, just go in with an open mind ready to learn whatever it is going to teach you and have a nice set and setting. Though when I first tripped on LSD I was thinking "Ride the snake" while I was coming up so I set myself ready to just go with it for the rest of the trip, and I had an amazing experience .
hahahaha. the garden... a serpent that is in the garden... if we accept this serpent it will give us the ultimate fruit of life. that sounds just like something out of the Christian bible. ya know the story of adam and eve? yeah, THAT one. ok, its about the first two ppl on earth that lived in the "Garden of Eden" which is basically a utopia. adam and eve are told by God not to eat a certain "fruit" bc it will be bad or somethin. so eve finds a serpent and bravely approaches it and converses with it. this serpent tells eve that she should show adam this fruit (not really a fruit, fruit is symbolic for w/e). if they expierience this fruit then they will have the sight of God or somethin like that. so basically eve gives the fruit to adam and they go "through the gate". FINE PRINT: i'm not trying to make fun of the quote or the bible or any biblical references.
I think the quote that OstrOcized shared with us should be a pledge that everyone who is about to do mushrooms for the first time should take. It tells you what kind of mindset you should have before you eat mushrooms. You shouldn't be scared.. if you are, do more research about mushrooms before you munch for the first time. You should be excited about what you're going to experience and you should be curious and open-minded. And of course the setting is very important, as is the company you are in. Psilocybin mushrooms are wonderful substances that can help you broaden your mind and also learn a lot more about yourself.. keep that in mind. Just relax, go with the flow, and enjoy..
Pay the ticket take the ride no sympothy for the devil(hunter s thompson) You will have a blast take it without thinking and let the shrooms take you were you are ment to be . Watch fear and loathing in las vegas.
fear and loathing in las vegas is just a bunch of guys treating every chem as the same thing, a drug, they take acid the same way they would take cocaine, i don't really like that movie.
