check erowid.com they have some experiance vaults where people talk about there trips I've done em atleast a handful of time, and I can remember each trip like it was one of the best days of my life. I've had some of the hardest laughs and the biggest smiles on them definatly try them, its like being ultra baked and do them with some close friends, you will be on the same wave length the whole time and you'll have ALOT of fun
thanks dude..wut are the chemicals that make you trip?and are there just as many diff shroom strains as pot strains?and can you just find shrooms out in a forest?
i have done shrooms quite a bit and they are quite delightful, outdoors and warmth go great with boomers. Don't go picking mushrooms in the forest and eating them a lot of them are poisonous
fuck shrooms, go straight to acid. just make sure your mentally prepared before your trip and your enthuisastic about it or else it wont be as fun...
you could go straight to Cid but some people will enjoy shrooms more then acid....2 totally different trips
1. the chemicals that make you trip are either psilocybin or psilocin 2. there are many diffrerent strains of shrooms all varying in potency 3. yes you can find "wild" shrooms, however i do not reccomend eating these unless you are an expert.
thanks for answering those questions.i really wanna do both acid and shrooms.but i just wanted to learn about shrooms thats all.and ive read soem pretty sweet trip reports from people that did shrooms.they both sound cool and i know there diff trips...but at the same time idk wut that means but how would i?i want you guys to read this one trip report its crazy...itll be up in a couple.
here it is....also if any body else has any trips they wanna share on shrooms/Cid do so.im interested i got this report from shroomery.org. p.s.kinda long but worth the read. My first trip was in Thailand, on an island, two days before Christmas. My roommate and I ate the mushrooms and at best got stoned. I was disappointed, I expected to be tripping out. We were unaware of the dosage or species of mushroom so it was really out of our hands. I guess it doesn't need to be said but putting your safety in the hands of people you don't know, in a foreign country miles from any possible help, isn't the smartest thing. Despite that, when the people came around asking if we'd like mushrooms for Christmas day I wanted to give it another go, to see if maybe it would live up to my expectations. That day, about 16 of us all in our own groups, sat and ate mushroom omelets. When we were done we all went off to our bungalows or wherever to do our own thing. I was a little cranky so I took a shower and then went back to our hut to lay in the hammock. Within an hour I knew I was starting to trip. The fading light between the leaves of the trees as the sun was setting became absolutely piercing, like millions of diamonds. The lush trees in the distance began morphing and blending into formless shapes and the waves and movements of the water became vibrant masses of color. This was the first time I had ever hallucinated but the best part wasn't what I was seeing, it was what I was feeling. My entire body felt like it was buzzing, melting with the purest pleasure. After a few moments my roommate came to the hammock and asked if I was alright enough to talk. I said yes and she just said, ‘this isn't right.' I was a little freaked by her disturbing, almost frantic tone. Also, she had done mushrooms multiple times before but was convinced that this time things had gone wrong, that maybe we were poisoned. The more we talked, the more afraid I became. Regardless, I kept telling her to open up to it, that this was great, that this is it. However, during our conversation she just slumped to the ground and started seizing. I'm sure these few seconds will remain the worst moments of my life. Everything slowed down and time was no longer time. I tried to pull myself together and stood up in attempt to help the situation in some way. I looked back to the eating area, where a banquet I realized I could not reach, was taking place. The movement of turning my head made the lights, noises, everything, warp into the unrecognizable. Now on the verge of panic I did the only thing I thought I could be capable of at this point and kneeled down to touch her. Thankfully that light touch was enough to wake her up; she said it was as if a train been shaking the whole earth. We started to strategize how we were going to survive this and thought it be best if neither of us went ‘away' like that. After pacing a bit I crawled into our hut which was basically just a bed with a roof and three out of four walls overlooking the beach. My roommate followed and we made our way among things we couldn't recognize. Looking out of the hut I didn't know where I was. I knew physically where I was but now it was an abstract visual mosaic of pulses and movements. This is when the waves came, for both of us. We were able to communicate what we were going through as the trip progressed and this is the best way I can try to describe it. At times, we would ‘go under,' the two of us to different places, usually at different times. Leaving the abstract reality, which I knew was the altered beach, I would lose all strength and just ‘go under.' I can't even explain what that means but it was like my eyes became myself. I was not sleeping, dreaming, conscious, alive, dead, awake, but I was. I was definitely contained in an environment but I was that environment. I barley have the memory now, only a few months later, but it was and still is incomprehensible. All I know was that each time I went under, I didn't know if I would come out but that didn't matter because I was at a level of contentment beyond imagination. Life, death, all of it was nothing of concern. Unfortunately I am not a writer and language is limiting, but I can only say that for those moments, I was liberated from every aspect of conscious. When I came out of these ‘episodes' my body was drenched and my heart was beating out of my chest. Each of us would announce to the other when we were being taken and when we had come back. Every time I came back, the altered reality of the beach (beyond fascinating itself) became more real and more recognizable. Eventually I stopped going under and I came down until I knew I was back. It was a definite moment and I was almost giddy that I had made it. At the same time I immediately began to ache for a chance to go back. I'm still amazed I didn't die of a heart attack coming down during Christmas fireworks. It was like trying to mellow out in a war zone. I could go on at length and in further detail but this is absurdly long already. For lack of a better word, the trip was spiritual. And needless to say, the world I came back to isn't the one I left.
Your best bet, for effect at least, is the trip reports at erowid.org, which I do believe you have found. But to enforce what others have said, NEVER pick your own mushrooms, unless you are VERY knowledgable in the field of mycology. The active drugs are psylocibin and psylocin, one break down to the other, I can't remmeber which is which off the top of my head. There are quite a few different strains of mushrooms, less so than weed, but still many with varying effect and potencies. You should be very openminded, and prepared to accept change. Having a conservative, this is the way the world is, this is how the eath moves, mindset, could pose for a shattering of all the worldly pretenses you know, whirling you down into a madness of psychedelia and absurd, delusional reality. How ever, if you are open minded, flexible and malleable of the mind,instead of brittle rigidity you could experience more of a great...opening, or release, or total consumation, of your understandings of the nature of the world, or the reasoning of the cosmos and energy. Or you could just see some fuckin crazy colours and geometric patterns. Really it's up to you to decide what you want from this trip, and while what you take away (if you choose to take anything from it at all, which is highly advisable but often totally uncontrollable) may not be what you thought, the fact of the matter is you will have learned something from it, grown further as a person, as both an individual, and as part of a whole infinite one.
