A'ite FP- Shrooms Thread. - General

So, next weekend (or the one after) I'm going to be participating in a shroom trip with another FP user; Hamm0. I want the low-down on how to give myself the best trip as possible, and how to prevent a bad trip. We've got around £40 worth between four of us, not too much apparently, but then again I don't wanna be absolutely fucked on my first try. Also, post your trips here. Much love! EDIT: We have around 4-5 grams for those who were wondering.

Can you have a bad trip off of shrooms? I never have.

It's a psychedelic - the trip experience heavily relies upon your set and setting. [B]Set[/B] - How you are feeling psychologically, if you are in a confident, happy, calm and in an excited mood, you will more than likely have a brilliant trip. Manage to tell yourself that bad trips don't exist, then they wont happen. On the other hand, if you are nervous, depressed, panicky, or in a similar mood, the chances are very high that you will have a horrible trip. [B]Setting[/B] - Where you will be tripping. For more experienced users, this is not as important. If you are in a safe, chilled out place, with some light low lighting, and a cool atmosphere, with nice people, this, along with a positive mind set will result in a good trip. However, if you are in a bad, negative feeling atmosphere, perhaps around people that make you nervous, no idea where you are, scary things etc, this can result in a bad trip. More experienced users might go to raves or similar, as the lights and sound make for a brilliant trip, as long as you are comfortable where you are, and who is there. An eighth of shrooms should be sufficient for a very good trip, perhaps not on your first time however. Another thing to note is this shouldn't be compared to LSD, as for a start, LSD is a synthetic drug, it isn't natural, unlike the active ingredients in shrooms, [B]psilocybin[/B] and [B]psilocin[/B]. You might have heard that LSD can completely/slightly change who you are - as far as I am aware, this isn't the case with shrooms. Also, in response to what Nater said, I have only heard of one bad trip on shrooms, and on that note, the set and setting effectiveness is so much more sensitive with LSD than what is is with shrooms, meaning that basically it takes a lot more to trip badly on shrooms than it does on LSD. [I]Treat psychedelics nicely, and they will be sure to treat you back in kind.[/I]

Great advice Imaledge, thanks for that!

And don't forget to have fun. Lol that was cheesy, the first time I did it, I laughed for 6 hours straight, so I think you'll be all good. Keep Imaledge's tips in mind.

Gotcha, where did you do it for your first time nater?

You probably don't want to hear this but I would have to disagree about Mushrooms not giving bad trips. They can and it is more common for them to give bad trips than LSD. Still, it's unlikely they will assuming you follow Ima's pretty good list of things.

[QUOTE=SamRinny;20653423]Gotcha, where did you do it for your first time nater?[/QUOTE] Friend's house, mostly in the basement...the shrooms came in a chocolate bar too, so that was kickass, as shrooms aren't the tastiest.

Avoid police, or anyone you would have to be concerned about acting sober around. First time I ate shrooms I hiked around in the woods. Nature is a must when tripping on shrooms.

Forget about the set & settings, eat enough mushrooms for your own weight and then eat more. Do stuff and trip the fuck out.

On the contrary, you do want to be absolutely fucked on your first try.

Haha! We're all close friends, who are doing it, so I'm really geared up for this now. Should be rather epic.

[QUOTE=Anubis678;20669635]On the contrary, the responsible drug user takes it slow when trying new drugs.[/QUOTE] I've said this like 5 times already, and while I understand the importance of taking it slow the first time, I still believe it would be more mind expanding if you knew/expect little to no of the drug. Plus, I've never tried anything else except weed, so my opinion doesn't weight as much as some others.. But, if I were to try mushrooms or such, I'd just go fuck-all fuck up your mind for rest of the week. It won't kill you?

Shrooms poison your body, you realize this right?

So does alcohol.. horrible hangovers! :(

[QUOTE=varj;20670318]I've said this like 5 times already, and while I understand the importance of taking it slow the first time, I still believe it would be more mind expanding if you knew/expect little to no of the drug.[/QUOTE] I disagree entirely. Jumping into a full-blown psychedelic experience with no knowledge of the drug you're taking is an incredibly bad idea. [QUOTE=varj;20670318]Plus, I've never tried anything else except weed, so my opinion doesn't weight as much as some others..[/QUOTE] To be frank, it weighs nothing at all. You're giving dangerous advice on something you've never experienced. [QUOTE=varj;20670318]But, if I were to try mushrooms or such, I'd just go fuck-all fuck up your mind for rest of the week. It won't kill you?[/QUOTE] 1. The amount of mushrooms you eat will not affect the duration of the experience. The trip is going to last 4-8 hours. 2. Taking too much won't do physical damage, but if you're not ready for the experience, you run the risk of wrecking your psyche. It would be incredibly irresponsible and it would most likely turn you off to psychedelics completely.

I'm ready for anything, Anubis! Bring it on! :dance:

[QUOTE=Anubis678;20670542]1. The amount of mushrooms you eat will not affect the duration of the experience. The trip is going to last 4-8 hours. [/QUOTE] Technically, if you started eating more shrooms half way though the trip, your trip would last longer then :smug:

[QUOTE=Imaledgev2;20670998]Technically, if you started eating more shrooms half way though the trip, your trip would last longer then :smug:[/QUOTE] I suppose... but after a certain point, you can't re-dose

technically, that'd be an experience brought about by a different dose, thus a different experience. :smug:

[QUOTE=varj;20670318]I've said this like 5 times already, and while I understand the importance of taking it slow the first time, I still believe it would be more mind expanding if you knew/expect little to no of the drug. [/QUOTE] This is completely wrong. If you've never tried a psychedelic before, they you truly don't understand just what profound effects it has on the mind. It's not going to be mind expanding taking too much of a drug you know nothing about, you're just going to end up going through ego-death not understanding jack-shit about what the fuck is going on, with your mind being separated from your body. You'll feel like you're being torn apart and you wont understand what is actually happening, it won't be fun in the slightest.

[QUOTE=Imaledgev2;20671090]you're just going to end up going through ego-death not understanding jack-shit about what the fuck is going on, with your mind being separated from your body.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind going through that, seriously. But yeah you people are right, be careful... Unless you wanna be [B]extreme[/B]! :dance:

How long does it take to be to a point where no one will notice something different about you and you are fully back to normal? I know the trip lasts about four hours but when I get high on weed it takes about 4-5 hours before I am fully sobered up. Also, what are the effects of an afterglow? [editline]05:36PM[/editline] Also, is the experience just as beautiful as LSD?

I don't wanna be mentally scarred for the rest of my life. :v: I think this should be the same for any drug, actually. Cheers for your help.

[QUOTE=nater;20658850]I seriously doubt that...Only reason I'd say it's more common is because shrooms are more common... [/QUOTE] Nausea is a common effect with Mushrooms but not as much with LSD. Nausea has the potential to destroy the chances of a good trip. At least for me.

[QUOTE=Dan The Man;20686908]Nausea is a common effect with Mushrooms[/QUOTE] You know, everyone says that, but I've never met anybody that had nausea problems from shrooms.

[QUOTE=Dan The Man;20686908]Nausea is a common effect with Mushrooms but not as much with LSD. Nausea has the potential to destroy the chances of a good trip. At least for me.[/QUOTE] I've also had nausea numerous times from mushrooms, as have my friends. I gotta agree that feeling sick while the mushrooms hit in can be a little intimidating if you're planning on having a lot. As long as you are in a good environment with a few people you know doing things you like you're gonna have a good trip. The only bad experiences i've had with them were in very busy areas with people who i'd just met or didn't know at all. Just take it easy and you'll have fun, have a good trip!

Would I freak out if I took shrooms by myself in lets say my bedroom?

[QUOTE=Dan The Man;20686908]Nausea is a common effect with Mushrooms but not as much with LSD. Nausea has the potential to destroy the chances of a good trip. At least for me.[/QUOTE] I find smoking weed one of the best ways to get rid of nausea.
