me and a friend of mine are going to shroom while in amsterdam, but im worried without having a sitter. think i could take a pretty light dose, ie just enough for a bit of visuals and still play it cool? only ever taken large amounts of em.
Just remember that although its Amsterdam, magic mushrooms are illegal: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21269227/ You always could take a light dose, but I'd stay in your hotel room (if you have one) and just lie down. Tripping in a place you don't know can be scary (trust me I'd know)
I did it while I was traveling Europe several years ago. We ate several handfuls of some fresh Hawaiian in the hostel and wandered. We got very lost, as one often does in a foreign country, and it was very crazy to hear no one speaking english and not seeing anything familiar. We found our way eventually and we were fine- don't just stay in your hotel- at least ours was really nasty and i would not have wanted to stay there. Go to vondelpark, which is a beautiful park right near the van gogh museum (also a good idea if you don't have social anxiety), the canal, especially at night with all the lights is also fun. Just stay away from the red light district!!!! not a good trip, believe me Have some good herb on hand just in case...
