Question on Boomers - General

So I managed to get my hand on some Boomers (Mushrooms), I've done them before and had an awesome time, but I seek the infinite knowledge of Facepunch; Those of you that have experience with Boomers, I ask you: What are some awesome things to do / try while under the shroomfluence? Music is of course on the plan and has been brought into the picture with care. I've done Boomers before, just looking for some extra advice and I know facepunch has experience.

chill, smoke weed and drink orange juice... Good luck! remember to do somewhere you feel comfortable

Orange juice. Music, video, games, friends and others.

see if you can meet that "mushroom god" that I've heard a few people talk about

Beware of cats, they say things, scary things...

I'm curious why everyone is telling him to drink OJ

I'm guessing either it prevents negative effects to the body, or it just makes the trip much more awesome.

Welp, had an awesome experience, Thanks guys! =D

[QUOTE=Anubis589;16287779]The Vitamin C and ascorbic acid "activate" the psilocybin and psilocybe, making the trip strong, but a wee bit shorter.[/QUOTE] vitamin c is a form of ascorbic acid. In my opinion, and many other people i've spoken to, vitamin c increasing the intensity of your trip is a myth. I'm pretty sure high times wrote an article explaining why a few years ago, but i can't fully remember. The ONLY way i can see orange juice making your trip stronger is that the acidic properties of it would slightly speed up digestion, but even then the difference in intensity would be negligible.

Our minds are like that. For example, the presentation of food has a large influence on how good it tastes. I watching watching a show and they took a meal and had it made to look decent, most people said it was alright, and then they took the same exact meal and made it look fancy and served it to another group of people and they said the food was outstanding and very tasty.

I prefer doing them during the day. I fried hard on the equivalent of 2 eighths last friday though and it was night and I was inside. I really like to do active stuff though

I mean, [b]everyone[/b] I've talked to says that it does speed it up/make it stronger. Never tried it. I've only done shrooms once (well, twice, but we won't talk about the first time...) and I didn't have orange juice on hand. I prefer LSD anyways. I'm not much of a spiritual person.

Pretty soon [b]everyone[/b] is going to think I'm a moron. :smug: [b]Note:[/b] Your drug knowledge far surpasses mine in so many ways. I'm trying to make up for my arrogance here.

Guys, orange juice has acid in it.

[QUOTE=Downsider;16314485]Guys, orange juice has acid in it.[/QUOTE] Do you think drinking a lot of orange juice is like LSD???

I think the Vit. C. speeds up your metabolism slightly increasing the rate at which the psychoactive chemicals are absorbed and reach your blood stream. Also it helps dissolve the mushrooms, like taking a pill with water instead of a dryswallow.

[QUOTE=TheMiracle;16314966]Do you think drinking a lot of orange juice is like LSD???[/QUOTE] What? You didn't know that? What do you think an OJO is? Orange Juice Overdose. Induces intense psycho-active hallucinations and mind-altering conditions on the body. I've heard it's the most intense body high you've ever experienced. Gotta love that vitamin C. TRIPPIN BALLS MAN.

I only experienced a very slight effect, is it because I did not drink enough?

If you can't breathe, it's starting to work, just stay submerged a little bit longer. PS: Make sure you're laying down on your stomach so when you start to trip balls you don't fall down and drop the bucket.

[/QUOTE] It definitely is wide-spread so I can totally understand why people believe it. And as Pepin said, if you've already done shrooms before and really believe that drinking OJ will increase your trip, it most likely will. The placebo effect is amazing. My friend who's living in Argentina told me that they believe drinking orange juice will actually decrease the trip, so he made sure to steer clear of it before/during a trip.

I'm doing shrooms tonight. Getting a full eighth (first time we just did a gram... wasn't much of a trip :frown:). I dunno, I'm kinda nervous. I don't know how I'm going to handle the spiritual aspect... Acid is fucking amazing, like a party in your mind... I don't know how hard it is going to be for me to give up control to the shrooms. I mean, I did fine the first time (amazing night, just not a powerful trip). I always get the jitters before doing a somewhat unfamiliar drug. It's all gonna be good :biggrin:

You are hallucinating and are going to be fine. Be Calm" and so when you start to trip hardcore and negatively, you just read the piece of paper and apparently it works. (I just make sure I'm going into it with a good mood, I have never had a bad trip because of this.)

I'm really pissed off. We payed $40 for each eighth, and each person did an eighth by himself. I didn't really feel shit. I remember coming up, and it felt just like coming up on acid, with that same uncomfortable energy rush... After that, I "tripped" very lightly for about 30 minutes, then the rest of the time I just felt really good. I felt happy, and I saw the beauty of nature (we walked around the park). I certainly wasn't sober, but I wasn't tripping, either. One person did actually trip. He said it was pretty intense. This was only his second experience with strong psychedelics (aside from smoking weed, he had only dropped acid once), so maybe that's why... I dunno... One person just felt really high, but that's normal for him. One person did a half-eighth and then 2.7 grams on top of that. This was his first time with anything other than weed, so he felt it, but it certainly wasn't as strong of a trip as one would expect almost 5 grams to deliver. Note: He took the half-eighth first (we thought the shrooms would be stronger, so we told him to only do half), and then he took the rest 2 hours later. One person felt it just like I did. I love hanging out with this guy, because we're always on the same page. Drugs always seem to hit us almost the exact same way. Towards the end of the evening, however, he did feel something. I don't know about the other guy. We ended up dropping him off at his apartment and he just stayed there. He was supposed to meet up with us later, but he never came. He said that he felt it pretty strongly. Ima chill with him tonight and we'll talk about it. Overall, I was very, very disappointed. The trip was fun, but not $40 fun. Not even $10 fun.

My Experience: When I tripped last weekend it went down like thus; We started out by each consuming an 8th to ourselves of some pretty interesting looking boomers (they had blue, orange, purple, and green on the stalks) After popping them down we all jumped into a hot tub and relaxed for a good half hour until we all noticed the clouds were beginning to blurr together and create amazing scenes (the boomers kicked in), after fifteen or so minutes of floating in the hot tub and watching the clouds in a daze we got out, dressed, and smoked a helluva lot of dope (5 people, 5 pipes + 1 bong / 1/2oz chronic 1/2oz schwag). Once the smoke session had expired we pretty much scattered, one guy fell asleep and claimed to have tripped balls while dreaming, two of us (a friend and myself) popped in halo and wandered around the recent map pack that was released. We didn't really play so much as we sat there staring at the colors and trying to dance in-game to the music playing on the HUGE ass speakers. The other two wandered around and found msc things to do, I don't know what happened at this point outside my gaming world. The kid and I who played video games essentially tripped hardcore balls and were laughing hysterically the whole time. I generally hate Halo 3, It's used and abused WAYY beyond its prime... but playing on boomers with a friend was massively awesome. Later I popped in Ace Combat 6 and with three of the guys (the fifth still passed out) tripped even harder flying around in free flight. Awesome shit. We then relocated to the back deck where there are couches and a TV under a gazebo and smoked more, tripping out at how we could hear everything and felt so intune. One of the guys became convinced he could levetate and was trying to do so most of the night. Another saw me as green. Somehow my skin color went from white to green. This all continued until we started to come down about 7 hours later and we ended up watching 10,000 BC while we came down. After the movie we found the guy who slept had sobered up the most and so we pitched down to 7/11 and picked up some foods (Starburst, Skittles, and sweet tarts- All of which are [B]BITCHIN[/B] when on boomers in any state... coming down or otherwise.) The night came to a close with everyone passing out and a week later I still get small bumps where it's like "Woah, was that a boomer surge?" I felt great afterwards, no negative after affects, and i've already picked up another set for next month.) So, my advice for doing boomers: Smoke (if you do smoke- I would advise good schwag. Chronic just intensifies it but a mellow strain of schwag seems to level your head and calm you down. All of us started to freak at one point and smoking calmed us down) Video Games Hot Tub Sitting outside Incense (I burned Sandalwood incense. Combined with the boomers it was very pleasing and relaxing) Mixed drinks. We mixed a combo of different juices (like you find in the grocery store for morning juice drinks IE OJ, Berry mixes, and so on) with watermelon Smirnoff and Finnlandia berry Vodka. Don't drink too much, but a drink or so with about a shot of alcohol went nice with the boomers. Relax. Keep it in your head that you're not going to die, the world isn't ending, and you're going to be fine. Enjoy this. Something I noticed was that everyone tripping had an intense feeling that something was about to happen. Some related it to the end of the world, others were waiting for something to walk through the door or just slightly anxious. Relax when you feel this way. A bud of mine started to freak out because of this. It's just a part of the boomers, you're not going to die and the sky isn't going to fall. Hope that helps.
