Doing shrooms for the first time.

Occasionally I've gotten indigestion from them, having some ginger ale or pepto nearby could be handy. Ate some last week and went to a metal show, had a blast. Psychedelics are the best.
 
First time taking shrooms with a friend was the best day of my life. Hours of blissful joy.

You can minimize the risk of a bad trip when you avoid doing it when you're in a bad mood or some depression to begin with. Shrooms take all the feelings that you have and multiply them by hundred. So when you're in a good mood going in, have your good friends around and take care you don't get disturbed by some annoying person(s) during the trip it will be fine.

Don't get too hung up on the idea of playing PS4 or whatever. On your first trip some dirt on the ground will be thousand times more exciting then the best game you've ever played. If anything prepare with some simple trip toys. Thin foil for instance is always fun to play around with.
 
Make sure you're around people you really trust and who know what they're doing. Also do not wander off from others--I did this, got trapped in my head and had a really bad trip. Shrooms are fun if you know what you're doing.
 
I had a friend in high school who freaked out on shrooms and called his mom. She took him to the emergency room, and he got his stomach pumped. So don't freak out and call your mom.

I had another friend who took off running through the woods freaking out while camping on shrooms, and he showed up hours later with a bleeding hole in his head with a tree branch sticking out. So don't freak out and run through the woods.

And try to avoid thinking about your shortcomings in life. That will make your trip suck.

Other than that, get a trippy app for your phone, role a few joints, and listen to The Doors. I would probably only eat half of what you're eating, but it's just personal preference. You're going to trip pretty hard.
 
maybe it was just me then? i couldn't handle the bills. my fingers wouldn't work and it was always like that.

oh no - i'm agreeing with you

i could never figure out counting money or how time worked when i was tripping

I would probably only eat half of what you're eating, but it's just personal preference. You're going to trip pretty hard.

it's been a while but i think a full 1/8th was the preferred dosage
 
I'm wierd on shrooms but I fucking love movies on them. Hellboy was easily the most exciting thing I have ever seen in my life. It was just so fucking cooler full and I remember seeing like crystals come out of the tv. Plus when their was an explosion on the TV I felt like my eyes would orgasm ya it was weird.
 
Shrooms should be no problem. I'd want to be outdoors in the woods or something instead of cooped up. You can come down on them unlike acid which there is no off switch.
 
I've only done them once with a group of friends. We mixed them in with chocolate pudding snack packs. It tasted terrible.

It wasn't nearly as mind expanding as I'd hoped it would be. Maybe it was too low of a dose or something. Still pretty fun, though.
 
I'm one of those "I can't stand not being in control"-freaks who gets paranoid to all hell when on any kind of drug, so I tend to avoid all of them.

I've smoked weed a number of times to the point where my memory becomes really short term and I can't remember what I was thinking about every 20 seconds or so. I start freaking out that I have brain damage. It's a consistent effect of my highs so I just don't enjoy it because it's not a fun feeling to me.

I assume this would be a disaster situation were I to take shrooms.
 
O ya you are in for a ride just go for it and embrace the fuck out of it. All you need to realize is in the back of your mind tell your self it's a drug. First time I did shrooms my friends sat on the couch and watched fear and loathing in Las Vegas. What was I doing you ask, well I was cleaning my kitchen for that 2 hours because my mom was going to be home in about 9 hours and I was terrified of not having the kitchen clean haha
 
Have a babysitter!!!! can't stress this enough. also make sure you have some music to listen to, music on shrooms is amazing! I love going outside and discussing ideas with people im tripping with and most importantly have fun!
 
I've taken shrooms about a dozen times. Ten of those times, nothing appreciable happened other then an abiding sense of disgust from hawking down the nasty things. One time I had a 'bad' trip - It wasn't mind-meltingly horrible, I was just uncomfortable all the time but moving hurt, and while we were taking a walk, I saw the yellow line in the road and thought 'Yellow! That has two 'L's in it! That's significant!' only for the sober corner of my mind to snap back 'No it fucking isn't, you stoned idiot.'

The last and most recent time was actually good. Me and a few friends in a basement at night. Some music, some colored lights, lots of lowkey conversation.

So, y'know. Not a great batting average, but I can see why some people like it. If you got dried shrooms, I recommend rolling them into a little ball between your fingers and taking them like pills, with water. Make the ball as tight as you can or it can expand and catch in your throat. All other methods - Peanut butter sandwiches, pizza, and ESPECIALLY chewing - will just prolong the terribleness of having them in your mouth.
 
It's more radical than you think. Words cannot describe how crazy shit can get while on LSD/shrooms. Go into it with a positive mindset.
 
I'll just recommend you have a copy of The Beatles "Revolver" on hand. Other than that, don't worry about planning or figuring anything out. Just go with it.
 
You can just zone out really really hard. Whether or not you can handle doing anything really just depends on your ability to "keep it together". Dont stress its really not a big deal. Seriously don't think too much. Unless you want to. But then remember theres a real world going on around you too. One time I just kinda zoned out and my friends thought something was really wrong with me but I just was thinking about something really hard lol. I should have like, announced it. I feel like my friends were always all about doing stuff, and adventuring, which I found hard to do, and I enjoyed writing and playing instruments and stuff, which they found hard to do. "It can get intense", I mean, yeah especially shrooms but if you dont panic and handle yourself its really not a problem. Literally the first time I did it I was seeing a bunch of shit and laughing so hard and then my friends girlfriend showed up and she couldnt know about it lol so I had to pull it together and immediately noticed it was easier to act normal than when high on weed. In fact I felt like I was more on point socially than usual. It was really crazy to me that she couldnt tell just from being near me. In fact sometimes I for no reason thought other people were tripping too even though they werent. Almost like, clearly everyone is experiencing this right now.

Try drinking a beer or two, helps with anxiety and loosens you up(which can be a huge reason you feel weird or get overwhelmed, one time i felt like i almost had a panic attack and farted and was like oh cool its just gas). For that same reason beware of weed. Or use it to your advantage. Whatever you think you can handle.
 
Just relax and have a good time. Glad you decided to forget about the PS4; would be fairly useless.

I would recommend though, that if any of you are having a bad day or are in a bad state of mind for whatever reason, that you postpone your plans for another day. Everyone should definitely be in a good state of mind before you start.
 
Had to taze the last guy I saw on shrooms. He was completely naked and punching the mirrors off of cars. He also kept screaming about how thirsty he was while holding a bottle of water. After ignoring several verbal commands, he charged at me saying "I'm gonna kick your ass".

Asked the girlfriend what he was on. Bath salts, she should've said.

Have fun.

I've done my body weight in shrooms - this is not normal and that person is crazy.

Why the fuck would anyone want to do that shit ?

+ they're amazing and fun and harmless
 
It's not that games are bad on hallucinogens but they can be a sensory overload.

The first time I took shrooms, I watched my friend (who was also on shrooms) play the beginning of Dead Space 2 and it freakin' paralyzed me. I wasn't necessarily frightened, just extremely overwhelmed. Happier games might have a different effect, tho.
I my gawd you are either insane or stupid haha ;) I was nervous to watch hell boy on shrooms. Honestly tho I think it's a myth where people say if you watch something scary it will ruin your trip. While I personally wouldn't usually when I watch a movie on shrooms I'm in it for the colors. My next trip which I hope is soon but shrooms are so ducking hard to get a hold of I'm going to watch speedracer and either Star Wars 7 or pacific rim?

Edit: also you should by fine doing a full 8th. Unlike Molly which I thank god I only took half of the crystals shrooms has a preety easy come up. It feels natural which I guess makes sense but you know what I mean :)

Second edit: don't be a pussy just eat the shrooms whole taste like shit but it's worth it :)
 
Back in H.S. I was doing shrooms a lot. We would shove them into egg mcmuffins an eat them before school.

Shit got pretty trippy in the classrooms with multi-colored carpet.
 
This used to happen to me back in the day when I smoked weed and tried to play World of Warcraft. I would just run around in circles and couldn't figure out where to go, lol.

Anyway, shrooms can be pretty fun. I've done it a few times. It can be funny, but you can also feel a little strange. I've had some visuals from it too.

I turned down a bag of shrooms a few years ago and I wish I had got it and eaten them. I was just looking for acid at the time. *shrug*
I've made that mistake too :/

PSA: never turn down shrooms. Their so easy to get when you don't want them, but as soon as you want to trip like 16 dealers couldn't get a hold of them :'( makes me cry everytime
 
Prepare your Anus OP.

Things are about to get wild.

Have some benzos on hand I reckon...

anyone here ever really identify with a tree

My friend had a unique experience with a tree. But it only happened because you get told and read that looking at a tree while tripping is cool.

So he was staring at one and he went through all the motions of it decaying, dying and being born again.
 
There is a big park literally right next to my friend's house (like not even a 1 minute walk). One small problem: Saturday is going to be -5 celsius which is a little on the chilly side!

So after some consideration it seems gaming is off the table. Maybe some BBC documentaries would be interesting: I have Planet Earth and Wonders of the Solar System.
Bro watch a colorful movie like speed racer. It will literally melt your eye balls or at least that's how bellboy was for me. Speedracer is the next movie on my list because shit gaf has shown me how colerful that is.
 
If you can, do them out in nature somewhere in the daytime.

One of my best shroom experiences was out with friends exploring trails and wading in a river
 
Pink Floyd bro!

When I did shrooms I had no interest in movie/tv/videogames/etc. It all looked alien and stupid to me. Music on the other hand, oh boy, what an experience!
 
I'm really interested in trying psychedelic drugs at some point, but I sadly don't know as to how I'll be able to... :(

MD was an insane experience, although the comedown was far too much for me to ever consider taking it again.
If MD is short for MDMA then don't worry the shroom come down is completely different. I just have a head ache so I smoke and it goes right away. The molly comedown I was shedding tears at work shit sucked. Totally worth it tho because Molly is awsome :)
 
the first time I did mushrooms me and my high school girlfriend broke up outside our dorm room smoking cigarettes. it was pretty much this but instead of going our separate ways we both convinced ourselves that what we were saying was too influenced by the mushrooms and we should try to fix our relationship. sometimes the mushrooms are right.

oh and trees.

waking life is a crazy idea and I would approach it with caution.
 
Ditch the ps4. That ain't no thing.

You might have to puke early on. Do it. Help yourself do it if you need.

Enter another dimension or let your heart open fully 😘

Always have water with you.

Climb trees or make things.

Connect to your friends. Play.

If you have an imaginative group you can potentially have a very magical time ☺️
 
I've always been curious about shrooms. I really like smoking weed but the idea of taking something that can alter my perception is a little scary for me. I like being in control of my body, which is why I love weed and hate drinking, so from reading this thread it sounds like shrooms might actually not be a good idea for me unless I can learn to let go and enjoy the ride?

Out of curiosity, what would everyone say the "ladder of intensity" for drugs is? I've always thought weed was the most mild and harmless and somewhere along the way I got it in my mind that shrooms were the next step up from that, is that about right?

Also OP please update this thread after your trip!
 
Shrooms are pretty exhausting to me. A 4-6 hour trip can feel like a lifetime especially if you are in the wrong mood going in. I've had some bad trips but they really only happen if you have things that are worrying you or you are in the wrong situation. I always do them with my best friends to minimize any harmful situations but you are not in control when you take shrooms, you just have to go where the trip takes you. Good or bad, they will imprint images and experiences in your mind.

My best time was taking them at my friends cottage with about 10 other guys. We ran around playing sports, walking in the woods, cooking burgers and we must have been in the lake for 3 to 4 hours. I can only describe our time in the water as us all transforming into seals and it was like we were made for the water. Definitely one of the best experiences of my life.

I also took them once at a concert and became one with the music. The best performance I've ever seen.

I recommend trying them just to see what they are all about.
 
I wish you a blessed journey, Bronetta. This shall be a learning and awe-inducing experience, no doubt. Do not fight it and try to cease control; at the same time, stay conscious of your inner feelings. Perceive with open eyes and open mind, but perception does not end with sight. :::)

I see many great recommendations but if it's one thing I'd say you owe it to yourselves to watch at least once on shrooms/psychedelics/in general it's Samsara!

Godspeed on your journey.
 
I've done shrooms once in high school several years ago with a few friends. It was at my house, parents were out of town and it was in the evening. I took two caps (we all did) and I chased with some juice bleh.

After about 30 minutes it started to kick in...we didn't do too much. Sat on the deck, looked at the trees. They were really tall, like, much taller than pine trees should be. My friend thought he saw a treehouse lol. Went back in, we played tag because that was an exciting thing to do at the time.

Going upstairs was relatively challenging. Each step at a time...lots of thought but I was feeling content with everything. The hallway to the tv room was interesting. The walls were vibrating in this wavy pattern. If I walked to it, I became a pinball until reaching the end of the hall. We randomly started watching NASCAR (wtf turning left is boring as shit sober, but watching Jimmie Johnson turn left was hilarious to me. Then Harold and Kumar 2 was on tv so I laid on the floor. That was kind of a weird decision. It felt like the floor became quicksand and I couldn't get up, but it was a warn sensation. Closed my eyes, kaleidoscope vision.

All in all, really unique experience. Definitely do it in a positive environment with good friends. Hope everything goes well for you OP! Have fun and ride with it.
