I have never tryed shrooms and i really want to. But i know almost nothing about them. How should i take them? when should i take them? What else do they do other then make you see things?
You don't actually hallucinate in the true sense of the word, it's not like you're going to see little pink elephants prancing around your room. What you'll see are visual distortions of your reality - walls breathing, patterning, really really detailed "color blobs" when you close your eyes, distortions of people's faces, etc. You'll also have other sensations, like a feeling that the desk is sliding away from you as you stand next to it, sounds might feel like they're disconnecting from their sources, various tasks will feel VERY different...one time the simple act of sliding my feet into my birkenstock clogs felt AMAZING, as did the hood I was wearing (it also struck me as really funny/odd that my head was IN the hood). You should eat them. There isn't really any other way to take them, though you can crush them up and eat them in maybe like a peanut butter sammitch or put it in orange juice...or you can just suck it up and eat em straight, that's what I did the first time and a few other times. Ramen noodles also work quite well, but really any food will work just fine. You should take them when you have about 6 hours to not do anything and/or be away from any sort of authority figures that would not want you taking them (parents, teachers, police etc). Take them when you're in a good mood and feeling good about your situation, but don't worry if you're a little apprehensive about taking them, that's normal. Definitely don't take them if you're stressing out about schoolwork or just broke up with the BF or were in a fight with your parents or w/e. Have a friend or two with you that are cool with the idea of you doing that and that are sober. I would do the normal routine, though I would suggest going to a park or something outside while you're trippin. My ideal situation would be bright sunny day, warm, metroparks, start trippin at about 2 or so so that when you're comin down the sun is setting, to help reinforce the idea of renewal after the trip. Although...in traditional use they've always been eaten at night in almost total darkness. Briefly: be in a good mood, have at least one sober person with you, get them in y our belly somehow, don't be around authority figures that won't like you eating them, be outside if you can, go with the flow, if you're having a bad time remind yourself it's a drug effecting you and that it will stop, and most importantly - have fun, be merry. And wear a hat.
! if you can, i would make them into powder and put them in orange juice. because orange juice is just amazing, and the vitamin c will do something magical to you. so the mushrooms... they will make you think like you have never though before. you'll see yourself (i don't mean visually) and feel like before that moment you had absolutely no idea who you were. EVERYTHING will be a microcosm for all of life, every speck of dust will have a lesson to teach you, and for the first time you will be able to really listen. i know that i had to confine myself to one tiny corner of a couch, hidden under a blanket, even though through the window that had turned into a watercolor painting i could see that it was a gorgeous day outside. because in that one corner, there was so much happening, i couldn't even absorb it all. there is so much synchronicity it's just impossible to believe you don't notice it all happening normally, in your everyday state. you might hear someone on the radio say something that, as a person walking down the street happens to catch your eye, perfectly coincides with that person and coincides with something you might happen to smell, and everything is working together to present one unnameable intangible feeling of one tiny lesson, one distinct emotion that can't be described in any other way. and it's so obvious that the universe knows exactly what it's doing. and everything is so interwoven, it's hard to imagine any entity or inanimate object or anything you can sense that you can't find yourself in, that isn't a direct reflection. at least that's how it is for me. go to erowid.org and research your butt off if you want to be edumacatered.
Haha, I remember reaching in the pockets of my jeans to grab my cell phone and just standing there felling the inside of the pocket for about 10 mins. : )
Me and a friend had prepared for several weeks for my first trip. I trusted the guy so i went to do it with him and his gf. I have been told by many users to be comfurtable with your surrondings. My frist time was in the middle of the woods at night in a small house. This one guy who was living there for a few weeks ended up takeing with us. I didnt know him and i have been told not to shroom with someone you dont know lmao. Thats exactly what happened to me. My friend and his gf went into the other room and had there experience. Me and this kid ended up talking all night about deep shit on a whole nother level. At the end of the night we knew everything about each other haha. The visuals were amazing. Like being a room filled with candle wax that is continuley melting. We stepped outside and my friend thught we were on a boat (the water is so beautiful man). -_^ Its very hard to describe an experience (everyone has a shroom story) "Dude du you see the pattern in the celing?" it was moving all wierd in a shape we thought we could describe. I had no idea what pattern he saw. They i somehow figured it out. We sat there for a half hour starting at the celing due to its amazing slide show. When my friend and his gf were in there room. We heard them make a 2 second scream like sound. It was starting to freak us out so we asked if they were ok. No answer then again the scream. Well we realized that they were laughing harder than anyone i have ever seen. I had some face changes from my friend out side. His eyes were very strange. Always changing shape. Everytime i brought up the subject of what time is it. We look at the clock and its spinning. No sence of time all night, which made the trip just amazing. I could go on haha good times
