I've been comptemplating the idea of eating Magic Mushrooms for a wile now and I think at the end of this school year(less than 2 weeks) I will go on my first shroom trip. I have 3 different go threw to get them. First guy iz a good buddy of mine ive known for about 2-3 years and i chill with him regulary and he told me if i want to do shrooms he can get them for 35 an eighth. Another guy i know from school has always seemed to be reliable when it comes to drugs and he said he can get me shrooms at 45 an eighth and he says they are the best hes ever had. He also said he has acid at 15 a hit but i dont want it. Now lastly is a guy ive known for about a year, But he has always been the most trustworthy out of all 3 and he used to get me the best weed prices around but he got into some trouble with johnny law so i havent chilled with him as much since but he has always came threw for me and he said he can get me shrooms but i havent talked to him bout it in a wile. I know he goes picking for them every so months in West Virginia. Sorry for sorta rambling but my question iz What are some tipical prices? And iz there anything i should know before i take Mushrooms? Peace and Love Go with God - One LOVE! and Thank You All For Your Help! Smoking420buddha
iz? for real? wow. 35-45 is high for eights but then again I don't know where you are and there are plenty of locations where that is a normal price. I'd go with the 35 cat. The "best i've ever had" from a dealer line always bother me. Although once I bought an 1/8 and the gal told me not to eat it all at once. I laughed in her face and downed the bag....it was much more of an experience than I was expecting at the time.
Once again the reason for the "iz" out of respect for the late great graf artist by the name of "iz the wiz" From new york. I Write Graf Thats Why I Have So Much Repect For "iz the wiz" He "iz" a Legend.
45 an eighth is highway robbery. 20-25 is the maximum going price. in my opinion, which is different from that of most people, 15 is the maximum FAIR price. mushrooms cost next to nothing to grow yourself, and they cost NOTHING if they're wildcrafted. an eighth of cubensis isnt even that strong a dose in most cases. no way is it worth 30-50 dollars. *today was innoculation day!* hopefully in a month, month and a half i'll have something to show for it
what is your area? i've never been asked to pay more than 30 an eighth for dried cubensis in central ohio. 25 is the expected price though. 20 happens sometimes. i've never noticed a difference in quality with different prices. then again, i've only purchased mushrooms maybe 3-5 times in my life. virtually every cup of tea came from homegrown. there were a few guys who knew i grew who i'd sometimes hook up with my surplus for cheap if they wanted to trip, but i wouldnt sell on the regular at all, and never more than 15 bucks for an eighth. they kept trying to get me to go commercial, saying they knew tons of naive highschoolers with rich parents who dont know better and would pay 50 an eighth for mushrooms that had cost me virtually nothing. i personally consider mushrooms a sacrament and believe their sale is a bit obscene, and feel bad for ever having sold them (even for cheap), or having paid for them. but essentially just remember that simply because all you can find at the moment is 35-45 bucks does NOT mean its necessarily the going price. you may just have people trying to rip you off. what to know? i'm hesitant to approach such questions. the psychedelic experience is very surreal and unusual, and one cannot be fully prepared for it. to me it is intensely spiritual, quasi-religious in nature....i embrace even dark or ominous experiences as being useful and helpful. i also find health benefits associated with purging on psychedelics, and fasting prior to consumption and during the experience. most people on this site probably have vastly different views of the experience than i. to me, there is no reason to ever take less than 3g of cubensis unless you're using something else to potentiate it. remember that at normal recreational levels, you aren't likely to have very much in the way of visions or anything more than superficial visual effects... visuals aren't really the important part anyway, and some people are more prone to experiencing them at lower doses than others. the physical effects are profound and will be the first to be noticed. thought patterns are altered significantly. it can make you think and feel childish at times. theres often a sense of homecoming, reunion, of being whole. higher doses can bring about full on visions and completely obliterate your sense of self. its not that you'll stop thinking, you'll stop understanding any kind of ego. basically my recommendation is to not pay too much for them, take the full eighth, nothing more or less for a first time, keep an open mind and dont fight the effects of the drug at all at any point. go with the flow, relax, let it run its course even if it scares you a little. dont be in public, but be outside if at all possible. dont be around people who can't know you're tripping. be careful, and use common sense.
When are the highest points of the trip? And im in between D.C. And Baltimore a small town sorta but the messed up thing iz if you go like 30 - 45 mins out of here you can get great prices. This city iz covered with middle men basically so prices are higher. And alot of little gangster wiggers who like to rip people off.
in terms of mushrooms...hell, its been a VERY long time. i just tripped for the first time in about 6 months about a week ago, and it was some acid.....and the previous trip had been about 6 months since the last as well, and also was acid. prior to that trip was HBWR & salvia with much cannabis...... its been a long time since i've had mushrooms, so i guess first things first would be preparation. i personally prefer mushroom tea as the best way to ingest the mushrooms. the mushrooms themselves are hard to digest and i always get rather sick if i actually EAT them. not to mention i dont like the flavor and texture of dried mushrooms. ew! and it takes forever to eat them. tea will extract the active substances while leaving behind the difficult to digest fungal matter...i almost never threw up from tea. for this very reason i'm considering not making tea anymore so that i WILL purge and cleanse my digestive system. if you make tea, break the mushrooms into the smallest bits you can. if you can, use something like a coffee grinder to get it cut up really fine. go to the store and buy some empty teabags for loose leaf tea and fill with the mushrooms, and staple it tightly shut. using very, very hot (NOT BOILING!) water, steep the mushrooms for 20 minutes. at the same time, for 1-5 minutes steep a strongly flavored black or herbal tea with the mushrooms. personal favorites are earl grey or spiced orange teas. mint is good, too, and is supposed to help releave nausea. certainly anything with ginger would be good for the stomach. sweeten to taste with honey or sugar. with the tea you'll get first signs within 10-15 minutes of drinking it. the quicker you drink it, the quicker it hits, but the more likely you'll purge, and i used to try to avoid that like most people. so i would recommend sipping it over half an hour. this will make it come on more slowly and ease you into it. the peak should be 30 minutes to an hour after you start to feel it and can last anywhere from 1 to 3.5 hours in my experience. this time will come with the most acute mental alterations, the most intense visual activity (if present), and the strongest physical high. at the proper dose, this is where you run into full-blown psychedelia. the onset and come down (any time thats not the peak) enjoys somewhat more "normal" thought patterns and minimal visual/audial activity. the body buzz is highly noticable, and smoking weed will increase the effects and be intensely pleasurable, though you'll not get the same feeling from smoking it as you do when you normally smoke weed. mushrooms will overpower the high, but the THC will potentiate the mushrooms. if you smoke cigarettes, have plenty on hand. smoking while tripping is very, very, very, very enjoyable for smokers. incense will also be enjoyable when you're tripping, but if you have a particularly strong experience then it wont be useful during the peak (and neither would you want to smoke at this point) but basically if you're looking at an eighth of average dried cubes, it wont be too extreme an experience, but will give you a VERY nice look at what the world of psychedelics has to offer. you can take less and still feel effects of the mushrooms, but less than an eighth will never be fully psychedelic unless taken in such a way as to potentiate the experience (in combinations with other substances such as MAOis, for instance...but don't worry about all that stuff now) i recommend trying it, but i will warn it is NOT for everybody. a full eighth is all i recommend for a first time user. a half eighth will just get you very high in a unique way. it will be enjoyable and different from most other highs you've had in the past, but i don't consider it anywhere close to a proper trip....
Im definetly thinking of putting it in tea that sounds better. Could i use just regular green tea along with the shrooms or do you think i should pick up some mint tea? or Ginger tea w/e that iz?
some spiced teas have ginger in them. tazo makes a flavored green tea called "green ginger" which is green tea with ginger and lemongrass and other unlisted "natural flavors" this might be good for it as it is somewhat strongly flavored for a green tea and mostly because ginger is good for relieving all manner of upset stomach. generally i would recommend a black tea over green tea because it is stronger and masks the mushroom taste much better. a strong herbal tea would be another good bet. really the taste isnt all that bad, though. while its nice for it to taste mostly like normal earl grey or whatever, it could even be consumed on its own with reasonable ease compared to many other things (poppy tea is NASTY!)
i pay $25 an 8th for shrooms up here, if you decide to do them, have fun! i seriously had some of the best times ever while tripping on shrooms, but also had some pretty bad times. so just make sure you're around people you're comfortable with, and in a place that makes you feel comfortable, and won't make you paranoid/scared.
yeah, comfort is key. if you're going to trip with other people, only trip with people you care about. if you have a significant other who would be interested in taking them, too, it can be a very intimate bonding experience. assuming you both can handle your shit. i usually trip alone, but tripping with someone you love is amazing.
^i completely agree. the last time i did shrooms, my boyfriend at the time had a REALLY bad experience and was freaking out pretty bad. he said that he only wanted to be around me, and he wanted me to hold him until he felt better. he wouldn't let me leave his side and said that if i hadn't been there, he didn't know what he would've done. and i'm sure if i was having a bad trip on shrooms, i would of wanted him to be there for me, too.
Mushrooms, for me, had alot more "ego beating", I found myself at times scrutinizing things that were very sensitive to me, I also found it to be very uncontrolable at times, meaing it did whatever it wanted to me. Now thats not to say the same thing will happen to you, but you shouldn't go into it just expecting to giggle and see colours, read up on erowids experiences and really prepair yourself.
personally, i would recommend only eating half a eighth your first time. that is going by what i consider to be average mushrooms.. i dunno maybe i just run across quality all the time.. oh an yeah 25 a eighth is market price..
