I tried mushrooms for the first time last night, and I didn't really like them. My trip started off fine. We were outside and I had quite a big perspective change. Watching the ground as I walked was cool, but there wasn't really anything at all that I look back on that I had a good time. We were inside later on, and for most of the trip, and I didn't really feel like doing anything. I was distracted from the music, I was distracted from conversation, I was distracted from TV, and I didn't really comunicate with anyone much. Its the only drug I've done so far that I don't like. I've been smoking pot for a long time, and enjoy it a lot. I've had really great times on ecstasy and speed, although, I don't "like" these drugs I enjoy them. Cocaine and opiates are drugs I enjoy a lot. But mushrooms didn't really do anything for me, in terms of a good time. I only took .5, but they were apparantly very good. My friend who took a gram, it was also his first time, was seeing crazy hallucinations.
Not everybody has to like shrooms. Although you might feel different the 2nd time around. I know the first time I did shrooms I thought -big deal- I really didnt even have a good time. But the second time I had an awesome experiance and many since. But of course, you may still feel the same even if you do eat shrooms again. So............
I doubt half a gram would do much... I did 5grams my first time tripping. And it was the best trip I've ever had.
I dislike lower dose trips. The lowest dose I've had was 2grams. And it was just annoying. I felt disjointed. Not entirely sober, not exactly high. It was annoying and I just wanted it to end. I don't do mushrooms anymore, but when I did I dosed at about 4-5grams everytime. They were intense trips. But I think if you're gonna do something...you better go gung ho.
Alright. So do all low doses usually end up bad? Near the end of the night I just felt really sketchy.
i had the same experience. last night me and a good buddy of mine bought 40$ (4.5g) of shrooms. we split them up and ate them, taking a Vitamin C tablet right after. we sat and chilled in my room for an hour until it started kicking in so we went to M's house. Me and M proceeded to play a game of nutball (where you sit across the room from eachother and take turns throwing a tennis ball at eachothers nuts) in which i lost very badly. after that we just sat there smoking cigarettes and all of a sudden my hand started to melt, that was my only major visual during the trip. i had more fun just laughing my ass off and talking to my friends than i did on a higher dose tripping in the dark. but later on when we were back at home and the trip was still going it was annoying. i couldnt concentrate on anything, and all i wanted to do was smoke cigarettes and watch the tracers from the cherry in the dark. it was a fun trip but only for the first few hours, as i came down it was really boring being half sober half shrooming and wanting to do something. i think next time im taking a higher dose.
i've only experienced real visuals with 4 or 5 grams. i do actually prefer 2 or 3 grams though. it's just enough to put me in that "place" where it feels like i'm finally home.
Ah the feeling of coming home again. Quite a unique feeling i must say. I like your posts yem, you seem to know whats up, keep enjoying the mush. Me and a buddy had an hour discussion on the coming "home" feeling the other night.
Personally, i love mushies. I have done from half a gram to 3-4 grams, and i can tell you that the more the better. One thing i noticed from taken a low dose is that i felt a good trip comin up, but then it just ended, with me left hanging going "what the fuck just happened, i saw just a little hallucinations, and didnt reach that grand fry." Of course if you do a large amount you have to not each them all at once, let them guide you through the day as micheal said.
if you only ate a half gram i'd say you would have no idea of the effects of mushrooms. next time eat 3 grams, wait a half hour, smoke some ganja, eat at least another couple grams ....... then you will understand the mushrooms ... and prolly a lotta other things as well. its not supposed to be fun ... not to say it isnt ... but dont be looking for fun ... look for experience ... takin a trip isnt recreation change your life ... psychadelics ~including the herb~ are good for you ... not just a fun moment
Thanks. I wasn't really looking for a good time, but I had a bad time, experiance wise and fun wise. I won't deny i have no idea what shrooms are about. I think i'm going to wait a bit until i can accept shrooms as they are. Its weird.. I want to do lsd, and i know I"ll have a great time, but when i think of doing shrooms, I think it will be the same.
in my experience, i think small doses always suck. if i were to take 0.5g of shrooms it would be a weird funkiness for 3 hours that wouldn't have visuals and i would wonder the entire time "am i tripping? i feel kinda weird, but..." that's not how to approach it. eat 3.5g+ and then the tripping starts. threshold doses should be avoided.
shrooms are awesome!!! i really only do them at festivals and concerts and such because thats the only way i can get ahold of them... :-(
