Wrong Kind Of Mind For Acid?

its also pretty much the same with mushrooms

 

That's true - but it is easier to regulate how much you take

With british psilocybin mushrooms, psilocybe semolinceata, I'd say to someone who wasn't sure to try about 12 -15 to begin with. If that's ok next time do about 25-30. About 50 mushrooms eaten is really a large dose which will usually manifest the full effect. Of course, mushrooms vary in stregnth, so that's only a rough guide. Also fresh mushrooms contain psilocin, another powerful psychoactive agent - as the mushrooms dry that all turns into psilocybin. The effects of the fresh mushrooms are generally stronger and somehow more colourful. Also, fresh mushrooms are less likely to give you indigestion.

But although milder perhaps than LSD, mushrooms can still give a very intense experience. All the same factors apply.

 

I have schizophrenia and I always remember my last major acid trip, you might go so far as to say I'm stuck on it. It was awkward at first as my illness was manifesting itself, but then I recieved more insight into my illness. But I know in the long run it could make mental conditions worse, because of the brain chemistry factors.

 

Stuck on it? How so?

 

prob cos more of the trip stays with him than people without the illness, he thinks more acidy anyway.
prob not though.

 

Goodluck PurplePearl, keep us posted on how your experience goes. I'm sure if you prepared yourself with xanax/valium, and some niacinamide, that just keeping it on your side could build your confidence during your trip that you know you always have that crutch to lean on incase things go negative.

 

I wish I could still eat acid so I could take a fat rail of dmt during the peak. It would be so nice.

 

i think if your in you own home, with an empathetic sitter, expectation means very little for a first time. Regardless of the anxious flashes of introspection, by the time of peak you should be relieved to ignore your imperfections and enjoy a light and sound show. During the peak is when imprinting takes place so the tripper should seek as much positive sensory reinforcement as possible. The best best part is the come down, which for a first trip should be around sunset, and should be as environmentally controlled as the actual trip. During the come down is when you start coming back together, with the introspection anxieties abated and adrenaline expended. I've heard people say, "don't make any life decisions on acid", and I have to agree. But coming down you may find them unavoidable...just my opinion lol and you could write "Relax! It's only a drug!" on a peice of paper before you trip and read it when you start to get nervous

 

Most realizations do come during the come down, but the favorite part of a trip is the peak. I like to be overwhelmed by the trip + loud music.

 

your better off keeping the b & c vitamins on hand, thats the combo i'm aware of for ending bad trips
ya can keep the xanax & valiums or whatever around in case..theymaybe useful to calm you down..but its the vitamins that will bring you down from a crazy trip

i dunno anything boiut the shrooms in brittian, but those doses he recommended sounded extremely high, at least compared to shrooms ive tried where 1 cap & 2 stems could bake your brain nicely
whatever u try..if u try anything..start with a very low dose as a test
also..be aware that sometimes smoking a joint can kick a tripinto high gear... a mellow trip can get very intence if u just smoke a lil
so smoking to mellow yourself out will have the opposite effect ya expect

 

Acid Does Mess With Your Brain, It Does Cause Skitzophrenia And If You Have Skitzophrenia In Your Family History Do Not!!!!!!!!i Mean Do Not Take Acid

 

Lsd does not CAUSE schizophrenia, though, Lsd may produce a schizophrenic break in someone already suscpetible to schizophrenia. This, however, is a case of "if it didn't happen on LSD, it would've happened at some point".

 

Thanks for the advice but I don't have access to those of drugs, you can only get them prescribed by a doctor and he would NEVER give me Valium. Doctors here don't tend to prescribe it because people become dependant on it too easily.

 

I'll remember the vitamins, thanks!! I'm told that the only time you can find mushrooms where I live is at the beginning of September so I think I may have missed out on those, unless I can get some dried ones.

 

It depends, sometimes during tripping those thoughts can come and nip you in the butt!

 

exactly...

I can tell you that for me, aborting completely a trip was the worst mistakes ever...the desire to take some now when I trip always comes at a certain moment. Good that I dont have any risperidone anymore...but it fuckin sucks.

 

British mushrooms are a lot less potent than psilocybe mexicana etc. An absolute minimum dose would be about 15 mushrooms - but that would be quite weak.

I think the idea of using valium or similar as a rapid come-down is a huge mistake. If you are that fearful of taking a psychedelic, just leave it alone. Aborting a trip with tranquilizers can be worse than riding it out in the longer term.

 

a trip's a trip, aborting it is like going on holidays to the beach, but it rains, you could either have fun in the rain, or drive home and never know what wouldv'e happened.

 

Tranquilizers wouldn't abort your trip but rather 'tranquilize' you. You will still perhaps have a fearful trip, but you wouldnt panic as excessive as you would without these tranquilizers (i.e. Xanax, Valium, Inderal).

I'm a university psychology student and my Dr. has prescribed me xanax and inderal due to academic stress. I take xanax (only when needed) during mid-term and final exam times due to excessive stress preventing me from getting enough sleep and performing 100% the next day in class. It only lasts 3 - 6hrs in the system so it is short lived and I can go on energetic the next day.

The Inderal on the otherhand, is a betablocker. It blocks the adrenaline receptors. So if you get in a panic situation, your body isint effected (i.e. rapid heart beat, trimmors, excessive anxiety) other than you still have the anxiety but unlike the xanax or valium, you are not as tranquil. I always take Inderal when I have to give speeches or presentations so that I dont have to concentrate on keeping my composure since the inderal contains that for me while I use my energy to perform.
