I have had shrooms a few times now, ive never experienced anything like my partner has (very strong visual hallucinations), i get a little warm and tingly and unbalanced, but its nothing to write home about, im taking about 15g mexican, im not on any meds....any ideas?
Are you eating fresh or dried? If you're eating 15 grams of dried mushrooms, you will be tripping pretty well. 15 grams of fresh ones isn't that much though.
Well, my guess is that they're fresh since you live in London. If I were you, I would eat AT LEAST 20 grams fresh. If you still dont feel anything, increase your dosage by 5 grams.
eat 35+ grams of fresh shrooms and you should have enough to write home about. 15g will not get your anywhere.
It's even beter to make some mushroom tee. Cut around 15 grams of mushrooms (per person) in tiny pieces and put them in a pan of hot water with a teebag in it. And keep it warm for about 20 - 30 minutes (not boiling!). Then you filter the mushroom out of the water. Divide the tee and drink it. With this you'll have a pleasent not-to-heavy trip. You also can eat the mushroomdrap after you drank the tee (I never do that, makes my stomach unstable), but you'll trip even harder. My experimence is that mushroom tee is gives you a beter trip then fresh mushrooms. You say your friend gets very strong visual hallucinations when he only eats 15 grams of fresh mushrooms. So he'll probably have an even more hallucinating trip from 15 grams of tee. Try it, if you like. Let me know hou it went. Sayoonara Oppergod
mushroom tea is disgusting though! what my friends and i do is to mix them up with hot water as you would for tea, but add a stock cube instead and its actually quite nice
if you like tea you should probally like it better with the teabag in it cause the flavour of the tea is overwhelming the flavour of the shrooms grtz Stabman ps. i guess you'll trip just as hard with the hot water though =P
Subject here is not how wonderfull or disgusting it tastes, but the best way to consume the mushrooms. Tee or hot water are exactly the same, but we put a teebag in it. And it is NOT disgusting, try it before you judge. Sayoonara Oppergod.
You have to think about environment too. I notice you're in London, that can impede the chance of tripping. Try them in the pitch of night out in the countryside. You'll be tripping in no time. ...p.s. (don't be paranoid about the dark spaces behind trees where goblins giggle..... ) heheh ~
Man, fuck mushroom tea! Do the same shit, but keep it at a low boil for 15-20 mins, and then mix in a shitload of kool-aid (just a lil' more than the directions say) and put some ice in it. Don't fill up the pitcher with water, rather, use the ice as a way to cool the hot "tea" and when it melts when they meet, then you have water to stir your mix in! Just be sure to pour the tea through a strainer so you don't end up with mushroom chunks at the bottom of your glass. It won't taste just like kool-aid, but drinking a glass and a half or even two glasses (if you wanna go to the moon), will be quite sufficient. It only took ten shrooms (P. Cubensis) to send me and 7 friends into outter space, but we had a great time getting there!
Or you could just eat them, its a lot easier. They really dont taste so bad, more like mushy nothingness. Its the after taste that gets ya! That and they get stuck in your teeth sometimes. We threw some shrooms into a blender with OJ and bleded it up. It was allright, but I like to keep things simple- I'm lazy like that =P
