I've never done any drugs bar the usual, you know, caffeine and alcohol (and anything medicinal). I don't intend to do weed any time soon (may do it sometime in the future, but not now). But every now and again for the past few years I've toyed with the idea of doing psilocybin mushrooms. I did a lot of reading about them (and other drugs) a while back and was quite surprised to learn that they're basically harmless to the human body; bar anything stupid you do while you're tripping that might lead to bodily harm or death, they're basically 100% safe - and they're non addictive! Although I doubt I need to tell you guys that.
Just recently I've been thinking about this stuff again and I'm considering doing them again. I mainly have two reasons for wanting to try them. One: why the hell not? Two: I've always been curious as to... well... hallucination. I've never taken any kind of hallucinogens in my life before, I can never recall a time where I hallucinated for any reason whatsoever (dehydration, sickness, etc). The idea that I could see something, feel something, or hear something that's not actually real is quite strange to me, it doesn't really seem to make a whole lot of sense that the brain can simply imagine up entirely new visual phenomenon and I think it'd be cool to experience it. To understand it.
Anyone got any recommendations? Should I try it? Should I not? Any stories on personal experience would be good. I'm aware of the possibly of ego death and such.
Problem is, even if I do decide to do them I don't have a fucking clue how I'd get a hold of them, and even if I somehow met a dealer I don't know if I'd trust his (or his contacts) botanical skills enough for them not to be picking potentially toxic mushrooms which look similar.
Take in small doses. Like 1G at first and then work your way up.
Also be positive. :D
fuck no first psychedelic trip on a tryptamine is the best. i did 25g fresh (well worth 3gs of dried) for my first time with tea, solo.
just dont go into the trip with negative thoughts keep positive vibes up and everything will be allright
oh it's this thread again

I'm tripping on shrooms for the first time now
So I'm hijacking this thread
[editline]30th September 2011[/editline]
Because the title said shrooms.
I did shrooms with my friends for the first time about a month ago.
We had 6 grams dried, and put into a tea, so it was 2 gs each ( 3 of us), i was tripping pretty good, i had nice visuals ( walls moving, fisheye lens effect,) I also felt really really happy.
The only bad thing about it is the slight nausea you might get from them.
I wouldn't recommend having a mindblowing experience for the first time, especially if you dont really have any previous drug experience. I mean, it really all depends on the person, and every experience is different. It's not like you're "chasing that first high" type thing.
For shrooms, I'd work your way in for the first time, just to get the feeling of some mild psychedelic tweeks. You can always trip harder the next go 'round (if you would want to try it again).
I've tried salvia and tripped pretty hard for a few mins
should I still build myself up to shrooms?
good thing we have a question thread that way people dont have to make threads every time they have a question
oh wait they do anyway
The problem is that most of these different drugs aren't comparable in how you experience them. If you believe you can handle it: you can.
From one DD'er to another I recommend you just go balls out and take a full 1/8th. It's 'generally expected' for one to take mild doses of these powerful drugs for their first time so they're comfortable, but I think this a sort of silly practice.. The more you take of a particular drug in one sitting the wider range of effects are granted.
For example, taking a 1/16th of gooms your first time will probably give you a comfortable body-high, make music a little more interesting, etc. but a full 1/8th (or higher, good god) will give you a complete array of visuals. My point is that though it is the same type of drug the dosages may as well make them different trips altogether. I guess it's more of a confidence building thing than anything else- just don't be a bitch.
Thanks for the info so far, guys.
How about dealers? I mean, do you guys ever hear stories about people getting the wrong kind of mushrooms and getting sick/dying? I know there are a lot of mushrooms that look similar to psilocybin mushrooms but are actually toxic and I don't know if I can put that level of trust into some random stranger taking my money for illegal goods to get the correct shit. I mean obviously they've got a business to run, so its in their favour NOT to accidentally kill their clientèle, but still...

you need to go here
Alright, sorry for the thread, guys. I made this at 3AM last night and was pretty tired (still am). Wasn't paying entirely too much attention.
if you're interested in them, and you're convinced to stay on the safe side of drugs, there isn't much reason to not give them a try
Honestly, don't worry about having a bad trip or anything. If you're in a good mood, take 2 grams, put on some music and enjoy the next couple of hours.
I'm more worried about getting a bad batch and dying because the dealer and or his associates were too stupid to pick the right stuff.
I'm actually COOL with having a bad trip. The concept of ego death sounds fucking bizarre (not really in a bad way to me, more in an interesting way). Good or bad I'm ready to go. I'll take the trip head on. Come at me, bro. Etc.
ego death =/= bad trip

and youre not gonna get sold poisonous shrooms, nobodys gonna sell shrooms without testing them first
i hate being ripped off for shrooms i have been twice. one of those being tonight. people suck.
I finally got a shroom connection but the guy is really sketchy. We'll see how this works out.
Don't start with 1g that's like a total waste, start with 2g for a mild dose and if you want some actual fun and mind fuck go for 2.5 and up :)

I'll keep that in mine.
Can anyone from Australia (if there's anyone from Aus in here) give me a rough estimate of what I should be paying for shrooms?

I know lots of people that took an 8th or more their first time and the next day they said they won't even touch shrooms again.
I took like 15 big ass shrooms (wet, psilocybin cubensis) my first time, and was great until something sent me into having a kinda bad time. I mean that didn't really set me off, because I can handle my own.
I just feel like one should make sure they are going to have fun on shrooms (by taking a lower dose) before saying "shrooms suck" because they decided to go balls out and found out they cant handle it. That's what I hate.
I had small trip the first time ie only like level 2 and then the second time I had a way more massive trip than I anticipated and ended up just chilling in my friends car by myself on the side of the road and It started off terribly but then I pulled through and had an awesome time. I even managed to go back into the costume party after a few hours :v:
Did it yesterday, started at 1pm, really tripping balls, the textures on the floor turned into little tiny hands waving, crazy closed eye visuals, went outside later for a bike ride. After that I took the train while I was coming down, got drunk, danced with and touched some chicks, some ugly ones as well. NO REGRETS. Smoked a few cigars, drank some whiskey and got hella stoned of some good hashish. Then I just collapsed into bed, major hungover.
The shroom experience wasn't as intense as the first time, but still pretty intense nonetheless.
uhm is it possible to have sex while on 2g dry shrooms? is it good like with weed or not?
It's good with weed and yes it's is possible to have sex although you probably won't be able to keep your focus on what you're exactly doing.

Bro, most shrooms you find are field shrooms. Make sure they look legit.

They [I]thought[/I] they could... They didn't [B]know[/B] they could.
I feel like people have no fucking clue how to establish set and setting with psychedelics. it isn't hard - make sure you're excited for the experience, realize that if you think about all the awesome shit you will feel, you will likely feel all that awesome shit, and don't do it with your parents/sober people in the house. As said above, if you KNOW you are excited and ready for an interesting time (if not necessarily a comfortable one) and you KNOW that you'll get sober and feel normal again later, even an uncomfortable trip will end up glowing in the end.
also this is just my opinion but visuals aren't the best/most interesting part of the trip. i don't really get them very much and they're exciting and cool to look at when I do, but it's a really introspective experience and you will have some pretty intense feeling revelations (that could actually stick with you after the trip and affect your day to day life.)
I would also recommend taking like at least 2.5g your first time, although I'm can't relate at all to people who do shrooms and hate them and never want to do them again. even when I've had shitty experiences with psychedelics, my curiosity overwhelms my emotional distaste for the experience and I'll end up doing it again.
this guy knows his shit
