New Shroomers NEED TO READ THIS...

[ANTiXpOgO]

I have seen a lot of posts from people wating to get info on shrooms. I am a very experienced shroomer and believe that I can certainly provide some insight into this wonderful hallucinogen.
Since it is you first time, you want to start by eating about 3/4 of your 8th. You are going to want to let that settle in. If you dont feel that you are tripping hard enough, finish off the shrooms. You want to eat your way up to your trip. You dont want to take it all at once and then realize that you are tripping much harder than you want to be.
There are several methods for taking shrooms. Personally, I put the mushrooms in my mouth, bite off the end of the stem, and suck on them for a couple minutes. Although it tastes disgusting, it draws out the psilocybin much more and will make me trip harder. Another method is to cut up your shrooms and make hot chocolate with them. It tastes much better but I tend to not trip nearly as hard. Thirdly, you could just straight eat them which is what I would recommend for a first timer. Now, on to some effects.
Eating mushrooms will make your stomache feel slightly uneasy as you enter your trip. To counter balace this, you want to eat a light meal about an hour before you take the mushrooms. You dont want to be full but you dont want to be on an empty stomache. Another thing that counteracts this is smoking a bowl of weed but you may not want to do this as it makes you trip much harder (see below).
Trip enhancers. If you only have an 8th to split between two people, I have a couple suggestions. There are two primary things that enhance a trip. Vitamin C and cannabis. Eat an 8th, and as you are tripping, eat vitamin C pills or drink orange juice. This will enhance your trip unbelievably. Smoking a bowl will also enhance your trip. If you are doing an 8th by yourself, I would reconsider doing either of these enhancers your first time. To fully understand mushrooms you should know what effects it will have on you totally unaided.
You will probably trip for between 4 and 6 hours. During which time you will experience a lot of very cool visuals. My advice is to watch animated movies with bright colors and to play with lights like blacklights and such. Basically anything bright will totally fascinate you. If you have any further questions, direct them to me at soeinsheisse@yahoo.de. Good luck man and just remember to have fun. Enjoy the trip.

Awesome man. Always wanted to try shrooms. What species would you suggest for beginners?

Hmmm I took an 8th the first time I did it and smoked about 3 bowls out of the bong.


Amazing trip. Walking outside is great while being on shrooms as well.

My first time, i split an 8th with my ex, and we smoked like 5 bowls between the 2 of us. We just ate the stems and caps all at once, then washed it down with some coke (the drink). Then we walked outside to an old barn, and i don't reaslly remember much except for thinking a stump was a bear pooping in the middle of the field, and i was laying on some stairs in the barn, and totally like.. was a blank, except i thought i was sand going down the stairs, and slowly slid down the stairs, i dont remember any pain, but when i look back on it, it must have hurt. I also tried to fuck my ex, and i wasn't taking no for an answer which normally i wouldve been like what ever.. but on shrooms i didnt give a shit what she said. At another point, i dont recall, but my ex said i was climbing a tree and fell from a high branch, and i dont remember any of this...

thats basically information people can read from a reliable source like Erowid that you summed up on how much YOU usually dose.

my advice is completely different, and i'm not sure i agree with this guys claim that vitamin C and cannabis "enhance" the trip. These are the two things i advise you take if you want to mellow out the trip as its gone to far!
ideally, you want to be out in nature. somewhere reasonably familiar, even comforting and safe. this is your "setting", and it is strongly advisable to get the setting right.

the more food you have in your stomache the less you'll trip.
not eating for a day before will ensure that it is only the mushrooms your body is getting things from, and will ensure you are fully emersed in the trip and only the trip.

if you do eat anything, i reccomend something that will assist your brain. bananas contain seratonin and will improve the flow of thoughts and functions of your brain, essentially, "keeping you happy". Hemp seed or oily fish will contain loads of the omega oils, so maybe some of this too. Ginkgo Biloba will improve bloodflow to brain and body, and ginsing will keep your energy level up to help you go exploring should you feel the need to.

if you're mind's not right about it, then don't do it. its far better to wait until a time when you really want to jump right in and have no qualms about it at all.

some people advise to have a "sitter", someone around who isn't tripping. this depends where you are and if you are likely to need to talk to people not in the trip, and how much you're taking. people with no experience of tripping react strangely to trippers, and this can upset your trip. even the presence of a non tripper can sometimes be an obtrusion to the conducive flow of the trip, especially if they are not well experienced with tripping.

do a search for more threads like this if you are unsure.

there is advise....

and then there is digit advise

[hateyrstate]

do you know anything about whether it's possible for shrooms to take a longass time to activate, or anything like that?

reason:
i ate a tiny amount of shrooms whie i was camping with a bunch of friends, like, a few pieces of stems. I felt a little bit funny, like you feel right when you realize you're high, but that feeling stayed. which was a fine high, but about 6 hours later i smoked a big bowl and after that i just felt straight up stoned. but THE NEXT DAY... i got home @ like 2pm and smoked a bowl in my living room... but 1 or 2 hits in i stopped because i was tripping, hard. I've done acid and it was more intense than any of the time's i've taken acid, everything was just really auditory and visual and i ended up having to go to sleep because i was so overwhelmed. this weed was from my everyday stash, so i know the weed wasn't laced or anything.

haha i should have prefaced this with "dear dr. shrooms,"
