Hey GC. Tomorrow I will hopefully be tripping shrooms for the first time. I'm really not that well versed on the subject but my hookup - who as a close friend, I trust - assured me they were legitimate Psilocybin mushrooms. I apologize for the fact that I don't know the particular strain as that information would probably help answer the following questions: (I apologize in advance if these have been answered numerous times I just though it would be easier if I simply listed my questions and see if anyone knew the answers. 1. How much should I take? - I'm a big guy (6'0, 240) and I want to make sure I get a strong trip as this will probably be one of the few times I will try mushrooms. I'm buying 4 grams of what I assume are some rather potent shrooms and I want to make sure I can expierience an intense trip while at the same time not have a bad trip simply because it was sensory overload. 2. How long does the trip last? - I have my agenda for the day cleared just so I can enjoy the trip so it being too long is not an issue. I'm just curious as to when I should expect it to end. 3. Should I smoke marijuana to enhance the trip? - I'm a regular smoker (often multiple times a day) and I really do enjoy being high. My question then is will being high and tripping shrooms gel well together? or should I not smoke and just enjoy the trip? 4. What should I do? - I'n your mind what would make a perfect trip? What type of music should I listen to? What food should I eat? anything that you think would enhance a trip please enlighten me. 5. Would it being cold ruin the trip - I live in Boulder, Colorado (CU student if anyone cares) which is nestled right next to the rocky mountains. I was considering a nature walk because I was told those are amazing while tripping however in the last couple of weeks it has been cold in Colorado ( a balmy 20ish), would walking in the cold make the trip less enjoyable. Again I apologize if I am asking commonly asked questions but I just have a lot of curiosity as to what I should expect. Thanks in advance for your replies. May peace be with you.
The first (and only) time that I have taken shrooms was quite the experience.... I split a quarter with three other friends....and we split the mushrooms up evenly on a peporoni pizza. I tripped balls pretty hard for about 8 hours...we smoked about a 1/4 of weed like it was nothing...I would not have been able to act sober if my life depended on it...be sure that you are shrooming with people that you are really cool with
Ok, *deep breath* 1. Id reccomend a half eight for your first time. only because ive seen fuckers lose it thinking they could eat an eighth their first time. Even if you dont trip according to your standards you'd still only have to buy another 1.5 or so for a full eighth. (3.5) 2. Mushroom trips last from three to six hours dependant on potency and body size. 3. Smoking weed enhances mushroom trips. Always has for me. If you wanted my opinion Id reccomend not smoking your first trip as it will be a completely unique experience and no trip later on will come close to the mental expansion you will enjoy. 4. Do something fun you enjoy, not too strenuous. Nobody can tell you what to do on mushrooms, im more than confident ideas will come to you. Do not eat, unless you want to throw up, eat a light meal two to three hours before you take them so you have time to digest and energy for the trip. I've learned that from experience. 5. Can't answer that for ya, i live in california . Lastly, have fun and be safe. keep your surroundings mellow and do your best to avoid anything that will negatively affect your emotions. Hope this helps.
I was in cold weather, like 50 degrees, with shorts and a jacket tripping. I just ignored the cold alot, but when i realized I was cold I was fucking shivering cold. Dress warm and I think you will be fine. But, I had a tendency to lose my sandals since walking barefoot felt amazing. And it sounds like you are doing it alone, so definitely, for the first time at least, do half a eigth. Judging by your height and weight, you might just get threshold effects. Its better then freaking out and taking all of them for your first time. I would strongly recommend eating the half 1/8th then getting enough for a full eigth. If you do only eat the half 1/8th you will probably just feel really high. And listen to the grateful dead.
