Hey all...recently I was recommended trying shrooms so I decided I'll buy some soon. I know I'm supposed to eat them, but I'm not 100% sure on the specifics...like are they supposed to be chewed or whatever before swallowed? I heard smoking them is a complete waste since the chemicals get burnt so that's obviously out of the question. Also, is it better to eat them with/on something?
Definately eat them. Chew them a little bit, at least. Personally, I think they taste disgusting, so I always have to eat them with something. I've put them on pizza, salad, spaghetti. Swallowed them down with peanut butter and milk, or with a smoothie. Just something to take the taste away. If you can get your hands on mushroom chocolates, or the recipie, those are the BEST!
I always grind my mushrooms up into a powder and pack it into 00 capsules. 1 capsule = 0.5 grams. Makes it easy to dose, and no nasty taste
You can of course swallow the mushrooms as whole or as powder, but generally it is good if you are able to chew the mushrooms poperly, because like that you are less likely to get stomach irritations, which is a quite common (temporary) side effect. Another alternative is to make a tea. Just put the mushrooms in a teapot together with some black tea, pour hot water (70degree celsius, not boiling) and let it stand for about ten minutes, add some lemon&honey if you like (that covers up the mushroom taste quite well) and enjoy.
For me, chasing them with orange soda has always been the way to go. The longer you chew them the grosser they are, but if you eat them slowly enough, you'll only have to taste half of what you eat... You'll hear the other half.
I made a peanut butter sandwich, and it barely tasted of old gym socks. Seriously though, the peanut butter is a great thing, better than anything else in hiding the taste imho.
