I've never tried any psychedelic but everyone says shrooms are the best place to start. They're natural which to me is the most important. Anyway, I smoke weed a lot and Pink Floyd's calling to me in a new way and I feel it's time for a new experience. But there are some things about shrooms I would like to know from experienced trippers. First, I don't much about them but I understand there's alot of different kinds. What the hell do I ask for when I talk to my dealer? Second, how easy it it to get into a bad trip? I'm generally fine with weed but I usually go through about one brief bout of paranoia each time I smoke. I know set and setting is the most important but can a trip suddenly turn great to awful? What do you do in the event of a bad trip? Does it just last for 6 hours until you feel insane? Third, I know most people recomment tripping with a sitter but I don't really have one. Most of my friends are very conservative and would be very uncomfortable. The closest person I can think of is my fiance but she also doesn't like the idea of psychedelics. I really think I'd be picking up some serious negative vibes from her which would probably be worse than tripping alone. Why is it a bad idea to trip alone? Finally, I understand a trip is alot heavier than smoking weed and you basically need all day to do it. But how well can you normally function on shrooms? Can you walk, talk and eat ok? I'm generally a very apprehensive person and it's probably a bad way to start off but I just want to know what I'd be getting into if I were to try them. Thanks guys!
Only you can decide whether its good for you or not. Do know that shrooms are much "weirder" than pot and you're more likely to have a bad trip. Just ask for an eigth of shrooms. They'll be p. cubensis most likely. I'd eat 2-3.5 grams for my first trip depending on size. A sitter is just there to make sure you don't hurt yourself and also to help talk you through rough spots. If you can't find a good onne, I'd preffer going alone. Cheers
Mushrooms depend wildly on the the person. Bad trips do happen but you get through it. Shrooms can be a complete mind fuck that can get you really down (depressed) about various things. The key to avoiding a bad trip is to make sure you are mentally good, so to speak. Plan your trip a week in advance and make that week enjoyable and stress free. Trip hard, enjoy it, love all thoughts that come to you, enjoy those visuals....
Death caps are natural, too, but I bet you don't wanna eat them. Anyway, that's just me being a dick. They're not necessarily the best place to start as each psychedelic has its own feel, but they're relatively friendly. Honestly, I'd suggest to start with mescaline. Chances are that if he has them, they're gonna be homegrown Psilocybe Cubensis. Chances are also high that your dealer isn't gonna know WTF a Cubensis is. If he tries to tell you that they're "gold caps" or something to that effect, just ignore it. Just buy the mushrooms and don't worry about strain. One more tip - the gold flakes are just vermiculite. It just means that they're homegrown, but doesn't guarantee potency. There is really no such thing as a bad trip. It's just the mushrooms showing you what you need to fix in your life. Difficult trips, yeah. Difficult as FUCK, yeah. But straight up bad and nothing else, no. If you do start going into a "bad" trip, I suggest to lie down in a room, either by yourself or with someone you trust really, really well to listen without judging you and to help you out when needed. Put on a soft lamp or something, some light music and figure out why you're having a bad trip. I'm not gonna say that this is gonna make things better immediately, but in the long run, you'll be a better person. Tripping isn't all fun, it can show you things you never thought you'd have to deal with. If the case has it that you're just overwhelmed (the only bad trip I recognize), go into a room with soft music & lighting as before. If you have any benzos, take a medicinal dose. Don't eat 3 mg of Xanax, maybe take .5 mg. Just enough to calm you down. Try to go over what you took, when you took it and how log you expect to trip. Also keep in mind that NOBODY dies from mushrooms and that you will come down. It's a bad idea to trip alone if you've got issues to deal with that you're not ready for. The problem with tripping alone is that the mushrooms show you what you need to do. If you've got something wrong in your life, you're not gonna have an escape. These are the exact reasons that I do like to trip alone. You'll be able to walk just fine, may be a little wobbly, but no more than a few beers. Talking's not hard, but you may have trouble collecting your thoughts during the peak. Eating's not hard, but some people don't have an appetite. Food is guaranteed to taste amazing, though.
All I can say is don't nibble at them. Buy at least an 8th and eat it all at one time. Don't psych yourself about the taste cuz it's not bad at all. Don't eat a few hours before you trip. Eating them raw adds a feeling of authenticity to it. Don't get to anxious once you eat them. If you do you may ruin it. Don't buy wet shrooms.
Bad advice. If the shrooms he buys happen to be really strong, he's screwed if he eats an 1/8. Eat 1/2 of it & wait two hours. If you feel like it, eat the rest then. Safety first. I've had shrooms that .5 gram would get you trippin.
yeah eat a decent amount at once and then just snack on em in a few hours till they are gone that way you can tell how much you can handle if you start to have a "bad trip" i would say the easiest way to get out is to change something (music, room, conversation, ,tv), then remember that you are on drugs and that it will go away. i would say you need a sitter, especially for your first time. being alone can get very scary when you dont know what you are hearing or seeing. i have been afraid of being alone when i have flashbacks... but for the most part it is rare not to enjoy yourself when tripping, so don't worry about it.
