Ok, I bought an 1/8 for 20 bucks (through my friend though, I don't have it yet). About how many mushrooms are in an 1/8, and how many should I take my first time (I don't have a scale, so is it possible to dose just by the number of mushrooms?)? How should I eat them too? Also, I've never done any psychedelics before, only alcohol and marijuana, so how well can you function on mushrooms? Me and my friend will probably hang out and play Grand Theft Auto IV and watch a movie or two, would that be a good experience? Anything else you suggest I do? One more question, my friend said they don't test for mushrooms on a standard drug test, is that true? If it's not, how long do they show up on the test? I need a job pretty soon... Help greatly appreciated
Generally I like doing something more than just sitting around when I trip, but that's just my preference. Are there alot of stems or are they mostly caps? Caps are more potent, so keep that in mind. If an eighth was $20, you should eat them all because a.) It's only $20 and b.) They might not be like great shrooms and c.) Even if they are really good an eighter probably won't be too intense. What the hell do you mean "how should I eat them"? Chew and swallow bro. You should be able to function fine, I've gone to work tripping and I know people who have tripped at school without problems, for me the only real difficulty is talking and carrying conversations. Driving can be hard too. Honestly though, if you just play video games and watch a movie when you're done tripping you might just be like "wow that was lame" and wish you did something else.
Generally an eighth is an ideal amount of mushrooms for a good trip, especially your first time. Usually any less than an eighth is just a mind fuck, what I mean by that is you just are kind of affected in a funny way, and not really having a full trip. So eat the whole eight if anything, no less. Also, I suggest you hang out in the most comfortable place you know, your setting is key, and bad surroundings can lead to a bad trip (even something so small as parents in another room). Turn on some music and just chill, TV is cool, but sometimes you may find the sounds to be distracting in your trip and want to turn it off, music is perfect though, and you will find a whole new appreciation for sounds during your trip. Dress comfotable, eat a good amount before you trip so you dont get sick, an empty stomach is horrible on shrooms. And avoid looking in a mirror, first time, it might trip you out and really scare you, so be aware if you head to the bathroom. Enjoy it! The feelings/trip isn't permanent, so take on whatever comes your way and love every second of it, because when it's over you will be floored! PEACE
The whole 1/8? I heard I should only eat half of that max... I guess I could eat half and see how it is, how long should I wait before deciding if I want more or not?
although i would have to agree and recommend that you take a full eighth, it doesn't seem like you're prepared for it. tripping is all about set and setting. if you aren't in right mindset (afraid about taking a full eighth) then you definitely shouldn't-- it could lead to a bad trip. on a similar note, i would have to agree with MattB. that you should find something else to do besides sit inside. you should really be in nature, especially for your first mushroom trip. find a park or hiking trail or something-- you won't regret it. that being said, if you aren't in the right mindset (and afraid of being outside) you shouldn't do that. just do whatever makes you feel most comfortable, and have a nice trip.
yep, good music, and things to look at will help, you will hear music like never before. but you could probably handle an 1/8th, my GF took alittle more then a half 1/8th her first time, and she tripped good, but she said it could have been a little better dont forget, potency varies from shroom to shroom.
There's no way to tell how many mushrooms will be in an eighth. That's like asking how many buds are in an eighth of pot. It depends on the size of the mushrooms. For your first time, I would suggest about 2-2.5 grams. I know most people say to eat an eighth, but I've had eighths that knocked me on my ass before, as well as eighths that I've been barely getting visuals from. As for how to eat them, just chew them up. The taste isn't great, but not that bad. If you really can't stomach it, put them on a peanut butter sandwich. You will be able to function well enough to chill with your friends (although they may think you're acting weird) but talking to parents, cops, authority figures in general may be sketchy. I would avoid talking to anyone that you don't have to that isn't a friend. Don't play video games and watch TV. The only thing I've ever found to watch on TV that was worthwhile while tripping was Alejandro Jordorowsky's The Holy Mountain, but that's a little too intense for a first-timer. Just kill the TV and put on some music. The walls will be much more interesting, anyway. You're just fine on a drug test. They would pretty much have to find you tripping balls to be able to tell. A hike with a good friend would be the best thing you could ever do.
eat the whole eigth. I would say take a high with your friend, it will be amazing. plus GTA could be a little, well, traumatizing. You will pass any employer test. Shrooms can be specifically tested for up to like 5 days, but this never happens with job tests.
Thats funny I just tried shrooms with GTA IV two days ago. It was near impossible for me to play that game well, and eventually it just freaked me out. That game looks amazing though.
People that recommend an 1/8 as a first dose have never had extremely potent shrooms. I've seen an 1/8 of the BOMB bring a 40 year tour head to his knees with tears in his eyes. Gaurantee that guy will never blindly recommend an 1/8 without knowing the potency. Food for thought.
yeah no i think GTA would be a bad idea ... i remeber my first time was about two months ago , my parents were there .. even though i was aloud to it was a bad idea ya know?
Hey if I'm a lightweight on most of what I try (including just weed), and I just wanted to experiment walking in some shroom shoes, is just a little over a gram fine? The next question is: Weed made me a bit paranoid about my heart (although my doctor saw no problems with it and I'm only 18). I just sometimes get a bit anxiec about it, which I think is almost all in my mind now. I DON'T really care about my heart on ritalin, and it goes freakin' fast on ritalin. So... could this really become any sort of issue on shrooms? Should I start with barely anything? I'm prepared for a mild trip.
I would start with a gram or so. See how you do, and if you want more, eat 2 the next time. If all's fine there, move up to an eighth. If you can handle an eighth well, you should be fine to explore higher dosages.
Eat the whole eighth It tastes like really bitter pistachio nuts You will get a small bit of nausea buts its nothing more than eating too many pieces of candy With a full eighth, it won't be too overwhelming yet you will be satisfied knowing you really tripped The hike sounds like a great idea While you are tripping you are really going to want to just sit down and talk to a friend or watch the wind blow the grass, watching patterns in the ground and looking at leaves and the sky PS Do you want to know when you are starting to REALLY hallucinate? (not just simple marijuana hallicinated patterns) Stare are your hand or arm and you will probably see the hairs intertwining and growing longer and shorter Your blood vessels will be more visible and make stream like patterns Its amazing your fingers are constantly extending like 1/2 inch and retracting like slight movements Growing thicker and skinner, changing skin tones Bushes and leaves grow and twirl
