How much experience did you have?

How much experience with psychedelics did everyone have going into their first shroom trip, Were you ready?

 

I think I was almost as ready as one can get....I don't think you can completely be prepared for it.

 

i was very ready, with no physical experience. i had one of the best trips of my life.

for shrooms, that trip was very clear headed with a lot of visual distortions.
odd.

 

yeah, my first one was surprisingly visual compared to the bulk of my experiences
i'd done low doses of DXM. i'd smoked pot. i probably had done one or two other non-psychedelic controlled substances. i had a great time, had no problems, tripped alone, did a full 1/8 of dried cubensis.

 

My first shroom trip was the first psychadelic trip I'd ever had. The only thing done previously I could at all relate was 9 pills of triple C, which made me hallucinate harder, believe it or not, than I have on many of my shroom trips, in comparison.

But hallucination without the psychadelic touch isn't all that comparable. My first shroom trip was amazing. Me and 3 friends were the Fellowship of the Rings. We had our shoes off, pants rolled up, all sportin walking sticks...in the rain. We climbed the side of a mountain, listened to some Venetian Snares on an Ipod while laying on the dirt in the middle of a thousand tree's...and then we hiked down and walked to the beach. The quarter mile walk took us hours. =)

 

I knew barely anything about mushrooms my first time, but I was lucky to have a very experienced tripper with me. He kind of gave me a crash-course on mushrooms as we were coming up. We then proceeded to watch fireworks (it was the 4th of July) and walk around some nowhere town outside of Tulsa, OK.

I had smoked a lot of pot, done opiates, benzos, DXM a couple times. It went extremely well. Got my first glimpse of perfection that night.

 

The above two experiences sound really sweet. Hiking LOTR style, I love it

I had tripped on L one time before my first shroom trip. I took an eighth of potent shrooms, and I must admit I was a bit overwhelmed at times, although I made it through the trip fine. I would say I was "prepared" - I expected it to be intense and it was - but on the other hand, I was pretty blown away.

 

Still haven't experienced Shrooms so I can't say anything about that but all the things tried before LSD and DMT
were:
various uppers and downers, ones you toke that gets you chill or makes you trip and ones you blow that makes you not eat a meal or makes you itchy and pissed, prior to that I sipped the syrup and ate pills for motion sickness.
the earlier part of my mental investigatory stage wasn't a very pleasant one.

 

I fear the far reaches of my mind. It's a little crazy out there.

On the comedown of one of my rolls I've been bombarded with mental pictures of the most random shit you could imagine. Trolls, monsters, masks, police sirens, and the weirdest of all that I'll always remember is a vast field of white, dead tree's as far as I could see.

On the comedown from E.

Don't ask. I don't know.

 

I only did shrooms once, at the worldmusic fest. We all got eights, and I ate the whole thing. The actual trip didnt start for liked an hour and a half, but it was because of that thing where if you think about the high it wont hit you, and I finally stopped thinking about it and the trip hit me hella hard. all of a sudden I was SO fucked up I was in a place a quarter mile from the entrance, not knowing how I got there. Tripped nuts AND balls then I thought I was a bag of sand and there was a hole in me and the sand was running out and then all I remember is being in my extremely small tent amazed at how long my arms were.

 

The first drug I ever took was and 1/8th of mushrooms. Way before I evan drank or smoked bud for the first time. I think I was a freshmen in high school. My best friend was spending the night and my older brother gave us an 1/8th each. We were kinda scared and it was about 2 hours after he gave them to us before we got the courage to take them. We started tripping out in my room and were laughing so much that we thought my parents were gonna suspect something. So my brother took us for a ride in the country and we got out and walked around in some wheat fields. It was fucking nuts. Since then I have ate mushrooms about 20 or so times ranging from half an 1/8 to 1/4 at a time. That time was the second best mushroom trip I have ever had.

 

i took a little more than a eighth my first time and i havent tripped that hard since. it felt like my face was melting the whole time and i had no idea what was going on. it was probably the most fucked up ive ever been, but it was fun. i had only smoked before that

 

I consumed way too much my first time. I didn't even know what to expect until I was almost at the peak! My mood was happy thank god! Let's just say a tree grew human-like features and I thought it was talking to me. I also thought trees were making fun of me as well... It was rather interesting for a first-time phycadelic, but damn, that was strong!

 

By the time i took mushrooms I was already well versed in weed and had taken acid (but not tripped) twice. So that day i took 1.5 hits of cid, then ate a mushroom chocolate of indeterminate strength. It was amazing! By sheer willpower i made blood (or something) drip from the walls. After that I lost control of my hallucinations, and just saw strange multicolored patterns (infinite rows of concentric circles, an eye unfolding itself into infinity) superimposed over everything. What was most interesting was i could quantify how beautiful something was by how much of a particular pattern was superimposed over it. The comedown was just confusion and soul searching, a terrible mix.

 

My first time I took shrooms the only thing I had ever tried was weed and alcohol. So I was as ready as I believed I could be. Turns out smoking weed and then taking shrooms for the first time isn't really a good combo. Turned out ok though just really intense.

 

the only thing that fucked with my on my first trip was my friend driving my car(trippin balls also) but other than that it was fuckin awesome, just wasnt prepared for the intensity. before that all i had tried was weed, alcohol and perscription shit like adheral & vicoden etc.

by far shrooms have been my favorite, I cant wait to trip again

 

i dont think i was... i only smoked weed about 15 times before my first shroom trip, but i took a half eighth and loved it, i was fine.

 

I was ready..but not ready ya know?? Before I did shrooms for the first time I had done a number of other substances (Smoked weed, drank, took E, percs, Oxy's, roxi's, xanny's, pin's, snorted and smoked coke). So i thought I was experienced enough in the drug culture to dip into the Psychedelics.

I think I would have had a good trip besides the fact I took toooo much. All together, my FIRST time, I had almost a 1/4 of some dank ass shrooms...I didn't feel anything at first and just ate more and more and more and more and my friends were tripping (one of them was my dealer so whenever I needed more he was there, very handy to have btw) but after about an hour and a half I was feeling madddd sick. So I went into the bathroom and just chucked allll over the place!!! After 15 or 20 minutes of puking I looked up (remeber my first time EVER taking psychedelics)and life just HIT ME HEAD ON LIKE A FUCKINGGGGG FREIGHT TRAIN to put it lightly LOL.

It was the most insane out of this world mind raping experience of my life!! I had a horrible trip but learned alot from the experience. Even since then if i've had bad trips I still learn and that's what trippings about, learning and expanding your mind to new knowledge...or at least IMO.

All in all I don't think you can be "ready" for it. Tripping is not like anything else. The way I try to explain it is it's like pressing a RESET button on your mind, and life is like looking through the eyes of a new born, everything is new and you see it for what it is. Also (i dont know if it's just me) but I feel like a spirit floating in this "vessel" of mine the whole time I trip, it's kinda iffish....

Anyways hope this helped out
