I'm planning on doing shrooms for the first time with a few friends next week, but I don't have any experience with them. I've done acid four times and one of the people I'm planning on tripping with has done acid six times, so we both have some experience with psychedelics. What dosage would be recommended? I'd like to trip, obviously, but not balls-to-the-wall insane tripping. I have no idea how dosages of shrooms work. Also, the third person I'm planning on doing it with has no experience with psychedelics and only has smoked weed. How bad of an idea is it to have her trip with us? We'll have a babysitter who has watched me and my friend while we've tripped before and he'll also be watching the three of us next week, but he's never done any psychedelics so he might not be too helpful if something goes wrong. Thanks for your help!
mushroom dosage is tricky because you never know how potent they are, even within a sampled batch. If you are looking for a strong trip but not insanity, I would go between 2-3g. Many people have taken mushrooms as their first psychedelic even before pot, it's doable. Take care of set and setting like you seem to have done and you will all have a great time!
Yeah, 2-4 grams is generally the proper dosage. I would eat an eighth unless the person selling them says they're much stronger and to take less.
AHAHAhaha. Haha. Ha. Such a refreshing "first time" question for hip forums. Eat an eigth, unless instructed otherwise by the purveyor of the mushrooms, assuming they're not aminitas or something. If you don't want to trip hard, stick to more predictable things, even in one batch of shrooms there can be different potencies, while most acid or whatnot will be the same dose across a whole batch. You could feel a buzz, or trip balls to the wall. And your friend on the same dosage could be the opposite on the same dose. There's a lot of factors. Also, you probably should NOT have someone who doesn't know how to handle psychedelics there, unless they're very level headed, have a very good understanding of everybody they're sitting for, and of the chemicals (and psychedelics in general) in question. You can get VERY bad interactions going on when you're tripping and try to say the most basic idea, and because you're not thinking normally, some fuckwad who was fine with the sober you suddendly decides that you're "not okay" or something, that the drugs are fucking with you, that they're illegal for a reason, that you'll never be the same, etc.... and then feels the need to start telling you this shit in an argumentitive manner. You also don't want someone who will call 911 if you start doing something bizarre, and someone who takes drugs is a lot more likely to understand the line between bizarre and truly dangerous. To non druggies, rapid eye movements are "trippin' out", and licking the wall would land you a trip to the ER to be pumped full of sedatives. For most of us trippers, licking the wall is just another enlightening day in the office.
Don’t want to bring it down but a kid I knew from hs died over Christmas last year after doing shrooms and having a bad trip he killed himself. So just be careful.
Mushrooms can def bring out deep seeded psychosis so if you are a fucked up depressed emo then you shouldn't take them. Def don't take them if you are going through some serious shit in your life......it will take you through an emotional roller coaster. I have seen some shit on mushrooms during bad trips that has chilled me to my very core..... but you rationalize it and move on. And def don't trip with this guy http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...d_out_training_partner_taylor_powells_he.html
yea always have sitter(s) for larger doses is a good rule of thumb. at the last music festival i was at, some guy ate 1/4-1/2 ounce of mushies and ended up jumping into a bonfire. people had to pull him out when they realized he wasn't gonna move from there. he got real severe burns on his feet. then eventually, they had to ducktape him to a tree i think for his own safety because he was goin around yellin how it was "his time to go". some idiot came along, not realizing, and let him go. we tried to console him, didn't work. tried to hold him down, he just fought harder. eventually he wandered off, and i never heard what happened to that guy...but i'm sure his feet felt in a world of pain if he survived in to the morning......
I'd say about 2.5 grams or maybe like a half a cut if you've done acid before I'm sure you can handle shrooms
The first time I did shrooms my friend said that my eyes were going up into my head and were moving around a lot...I didn't even notice it but I guess it makes more sense now seeing as though I was tripping balls.
holy crap . . . I don't think Tim Leary, Aldous Huxley, or Terence Mckenna would advocate a half ounce of dry mushrooms, lol. 14g complete and massive overdose even for the most staunch psychonaut. My first thought is "what a fucking moron".
