Okay so a friend & myself really want to try shrooms, we've both only have tried pot/smoke it and were paranoid were gonna like die the first time trying it or like its gonna be a horrible trip ... i just want peoples opinions , thanks!
if you believe you'll have a horrible trip, you will. i've never done shrooms, personally, but i've been told if you go into it positively most likely you'll come out of it positively.
^^ yup. It's all about set and setting with psychedelics.. have a good environment round you (no parents, cops, whatever), and have a good mindset. *Relax!* Shrooms aren't as big a deal as they're made out to be. Just go with the flow and you'll be fine. If you're still worried, get a sober friend to be with you so they can help out if you get into the whole paranoia thing.
put some clothes on, put a bottle of water in your backpocket, eat your shrooms on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and go wherever you want to go.
Just remember shrooms come from under cow poo. They have mold when picked, and always have various colors on them. I've never done them personally, primarily because I would feel as if I am eating cow manure.
you need to make sure your in the mood for it and remember that its all in your head if your having a bummer
its ok to be a little nervous before your first time. Once you are tripping you might be surprised how much control you actually have of your trip. Once you are there and you are tripping its a whole lot different than what you are expecting.
you aren't necessarily going to have a bad trip if you think you are going to. My first time i was so scared about having a bad trip, but the come up on them had me giggling like i never have before, and I asked myself "wtf was i so scared of?!" friends of mine have gone into trips totally confident and ended up freaking the fuck out thinking they needed to go to the hospital becuase they threw up (a side effect mushrooms can have). You just gotta know what you're getting (and its not always grown on manure) so that you can have full confidence in the trip that what you took will not harm you.
Most shrooms bought on the black market are grown on rice cakes... If you were that badly effected by pot the first time, then chances are you are not mature enough or don't have the right mindset to handle shrooms well. They ain't just for partying! They are for experiencing. Yes absolutely, if you have a bad trip, it IS all in your head. In other words, whatever is ALREADY in there will most likely get magnified and haunt you while tripping. If you got real paranoid on pot, maybe your circumstances are not right to begin with. Get more comfortable with yourself and your circumstances first and do some research into the ceremonial and historical use of shrooms. Then decide what to do.
yes listen to earthmother^ calm, relaxing situations. no freaking parties!!!! its not that they wouldn't be fun, which it may or it might be too intense, but if you take them at a party all you are getting out of the trip is a good time. if you trip in a small group of people, in a nice setting, perhaps the woods, or a field or just somewhere outdoors and take time to observe the beautiful scenery, reflect and think your trip will mean soooo much more. you can come out of a trip feeling like a god, or you could go to a party and your trip can just be a fucked up time. you just have to chose, enlightenment + fun or just fun. its alll up to youu. sorry i just hate how so many people will take shrooms to 'get fucked up' and nothing else. they don't even realize the potential
The first time I took mushrooms was the best high of my life. But you need to be ready for it. It's intense.
