wtsup I'm planning on picking up some shrooms and tripping tonight, and I was thinking about my past trips. As a little background, I've now tripped (not including the forthcoming one tonight) 6 times. All were on an 8th (which i think is 3.5gs), and all were amazing and beautiful in their own way. I did notice, however, that while I experienced amazing ego loss and awesome visuals, I just didn't seem to have gone "insane". My state of mind is well past altered, sure, but I can still do pretty much anything, including having an intelligent, coherent conversation (which has actually become one of my favorite things to do while shrooming). Both before trying shrooms and after, I often hear/read stories of how incredibly mindfucked one can get on 1.5-2gs. Could the material I'm buying be the deal? Or is my body chem just this way? Maybe I'm as insane as everyone else and not realizing it? Like I said, the fungi has yet to fail me in terms of the value of my trips, I'm just curious. some info: -the fungi is (i think) golden caps. I'll post pics a bit later once i get ahold of them -I've experimented with a number of ingestion methods: blending with orange juice (1st, 2nd, 6th trip) lemon tek/PBnJ(3rd trip) tea(5th trip) straight up eating(4th) all trips were on a relatively empty stomach, and at various times of day. All had at least a week of sobriety before tripping again. The strongest of the 6 trips in terms of visual/sensory perception I would say would be the 2nd and 4th. lemme know your thoughts!
I'm not sure what your even asking for? If you want to go "insane" you would need to take 7G's or something. But why would you want to? sounds like your having a good enough time on just the 3.5G's, just stick to that. Probably do them on a empty stomache, that's the best way to get maximum effects.
well im just wondering if the "level of insanity" im experiencing is normal for 3.5gs i will eventually increase my dose, though.
man it really depends. my friend can drop over 5 grams of quality mushrooms and be "pretty high" for a few hours, and then be perfectly fine. on the other hand, i can completely twist myself with about two grams. last time we tripped together he said to me: "it seems like you're zipping through all of these portals and just traveling. to me, that makes about as much sense as trying to fit the couch through that window". it was a small window anyways, try upping the dose if you want. or try guiding your trips differently; but unless you're specifically looking for it, don't worry about not being "mindfucked". if you are actually tripping, don't worry if it doesn't sound like someone elses trip. get into your own. edit: you could also try a mushroom tea/lemon juice prep. look online for details but i've heard the trip is more intense with a tea.
The one time I went truly insane on mushrooms, I ingested them all in no more than a couple of minutes. Now, this would have been a much larger dose than an 8th, but I think eating them quickly will make an impact on what level you reach. I don't know anything about different methods of consumption, but I'd say double your dose if you want to dabble in madness.
My last time I tried made tea, and squeeze a spare lemon i found into it. I had read that tea/lemon would have a fast, powerful onset, but for whatever reason that day, it amounted to the "weakest" trip I had ever had. But then again it might have had something to do with the fact that I made a 3 1/8th batch all and once and just poured equal cups to be shared with 2 other people. I can see how there could have been a lot of room for mistakes. anyway, thanks for the feedback guys! iid have a trip report, but im saving the shrooms for a bonfire tomorrow
I followed this guide: http://www.shroomery.org/6270/Best-Possible-Mushroom-Tea-Recipe along with the 1 squeezed lemon
Everything effects a shroom trip greatly. With these, set and setting are MOST important and will determine your trip.
ive got a good example for this one: School: Paranoia, and Paranoia = Bad Trip House: Calm, and calm = mind expanding
It may have been due to other factors but the carpentered world (lots of right angles, ie: inside) doesn't seem to mesh with psychedelics very well for me.
