Okay, So I asked this before, but I want to read a real report discussing psilocybin tolerance and how it can be reduced (if that's possible) or how it can be overcome. I want to know some specifics, how it reacts, how long you really should wait before attempting to trip again, and I don't want some bullshit answer right off the top of your head unless you are a god damn scientist who has studied and determined the levels and rate at which psilocin and psilocybin exit the body! I want to read a real, scientific, and specific document! Post links, post whatever, but please don't send me to Erowid unless you can find exactly what I'm looking for! I've been there... the Lycaeum, and all that jazz, and I either can't find shit, or I'm finding shit from some moron who does not have the prefix "Dr." in front of his or her name! I want a Dr. and I want a chart with details so that we can finally put this shit to rest and figure it out. So, if you like shrooms and you're sick of people spreading bullshit and misinformation about the "inbetween time" then please help me in my quest!!! I'm sick and tired of hearing everything from 1-2 days all the way to a month or two or else nothing will happen. I could verbally bitch slap some people right now I'm so mad! I already know that 1-2 days is really all it takes, but I want to know more... I need info!!!
The acute tolerance for psilocybin mushrooms generally lasts between 3-7 days. This is how it is, and regardless of what anyone says, there is no way around it other than tripping less frequently. You won't find anyone with "Dr. in front of their name" here, as most people here are totally uninformed. There is no way to lower your tolerance other than through abstinence. You really shouldn't trip too often. Physically it may be okay for you, but you could be doing yourself some serious mental harm. If you're really desperate to find ways to lower your tolerance, you may be somewhat psychologically addicted--consider why you do drugs, ask yourself what you're getting out of them.
Well, although you got the first part right, the rest of what you said is debatible. The Flow is a Dr.... he posts all over the psychedelic forums when he has time, as well as another Dr. who pmed me once upon a time when I was having severe anxiety issues. There are quite a few doctors who post here actually, as well as pharmacists and older people who have been through more life experiences than some short-term controlled experiment allows room for. I will agree with you partly though... most people who do post here are uninformed, and that makes me sad. I finally was able to find a complete report on psilocybin and psilocin online, and I examined it very carefully in order to figure out how the chemical reacts in your brain, as well as how to combat such tolerances. For me, mushrooms are not something to play with recreationally at all, nor should any drugs be allowed to make it into daily routine on a habitual recreational basis. I take the trip for the spiritual value, and right now I am stuck in a spiritual "eddy" if you know what I mean, and I need to look further inside for the answers I'm not finding outside. I've come to some amazing realizations in the past few trips, but there is still more that I feel I need to discover, and I only have a set amount of time before I won't be able to have the luxury that solitude provides for spiritual insight. Things are quiet where I stay, and I am seldom bothered during the day, so I've been meditating, writing, examining what I want out of myself and my life... etc. Basically, I'm trying to get a good idea of where to go in the next year... and for some reason I'm still quite unsure of anything that I want out of my life and I certainly have no idea how to go about getting whatever it is I'm searching for... I've tried waiting around for something to find me instead of me finding it, but nothing has stuck... and now I have no choice but to search... I assure you that I am far from psychologically addicted, even though you could probably argue that I'm either in denial or I'm just making up excuses. Again, I assure that neither of those possibilities ring true in my situation. I simply need answers as to why things are this way, what I need to do to change them, and I where I want to go when it's time for me to leave here for good... To me, shrooms provide some strong insight into areas of perception that typically are not allowed to come forward, thus clouding our will with fear and negative rationale that inhibit us from ever knowing what it is we desire in the bottom of our hearts. Mushrooms allow me to look into my heart and extract pieces of this continual puzzle I keep putting together with more success that ever before, but for some reason I end up losing my focus part way through the trip and I'll end up writing down bullshit that doesn't pertain to the original intent of the journey. I definitely suffer from ADD, and I constantly find that my conversations drift as a result of my wandering mind. This is why I've been waiting on my "quieting" medicine to come in so that I can have a trip and stay in focus during the discovery part of the journey. I have heard good things about benzodiazepines in combination w/ P. Cubensis, therefore I believe the answers I am looking for will come from a combination of the two, but upon reading what I have read, I think I will wait until the Thunder Moon (Thursday's full moon) before I attempt such a trip. I become excessively manic in the days leading up to the full moon, and then I typically wind down the night of, or the day after. This moon out of the year is always worse than any other for me (in the days preceding) so I doubt I would get any real answers anyways if I was to try it right now... Thanks for your concern and for the reply.
It's hard to find any scientific articles on drugs because the government doesn't allow people to study them. I'm not saying they don't exisist, but you have to remember, somebody has to fund the study, the Scientists need the lab and equipment to do it, and finding funding for an illegal research project doesn't happen that often.
Kid... the government did fund those research projects.... Go read some books on Hoffman and Wasson... Aldous Huxley, Aleister Crowley.... all those dudes were around back when drugs were being used as tools as well and for fun.... Hell, just look at the shit the Government did out in Sandoz, Cal... You'd be amazed how much the government has taught us about how to do drugs for both objective and recreational purposes...
yeah, but those are all from the 50s/60s, I have read about it, but your going to have REAL trouble finding any of those docuements on the internet because they are so old. I don't know, I've been trying to search but im not getting much... try maps.org if you haven't, i did a quick search and diddn't find much, but it's more of the kind of website you should be looking thru. http://www.magic-mushrooms.info/chemistry.htm That's not really what your looking for, and I just skimmed thru it, but it is very informative either way.
Here kid... this is what I was looking for, but you came damn close... Hopefully this will show you that just because it might be old, that doesn't mean it's information isn't posted all over the internet... especially if it has the potential to intoxicate people... http://www.stainblue.com/ah.html http://leda.lycaeum.org/?ID=13378 http://leda.lycaeum.org/?ID=10410 http://leda.lycaeum.org/?ID=16311 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybe_cubensis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hofmann Here is an interesting read if you're into the whole psychedelic culture as a whole... although it has a semi-sad ending, I would recommend it in order to dispell a lot of the bullshit myths that spread like wildfire around this site and in the "hip community" as well.. http://www.lysergicbook.com/index.html Even though some of these reports and experiments were done much later than those of Hoffman and the likes, they are still based off of the same collections of information that were pioneered by the original doctors who founded the American psychedelic movement...
There is obviously going to be a range of tolerance that could be effected by a multitude of variables like; diet, sleep patterns, dosage, exercise and differing phisical attributes of the user. If you trip regularly you should know by now how long you, personally, need between trips for your brain to recover. If you beleive this to be too long then, as jabbawaya suggested, you may be metally addicted.
