Would shrooms be too intense for me? Why?

Okay, I signed up on this site just today to ask this question. I'm 14 and I tried marijuana in June right after I graduated middle school. I've done it about 20 times since then and smoke whenever. I'm 100lbs, scrawny too though. not alot of muscle or fat. I want to try shrooms sometime freshmen year or softmore. I have a really bad urge to try shrooms and ecstacy one day (still diciding if I should try MDMA/ecstacy)

Anyways Ive been insane on weed. Like one time, I told a buff guy I just met that I would shoot him in the mouth!! Lmfao!!! And as I was talking to him, I lit cigarete and smoked the filter. (I've smoked like 20 cigarettes and that was the only time I did that though, so don't think I'm one of those stupid ass kids on forums. K?)
Once I was stoned & My friend said "what if a boat full of weed pulled up right there" and I just said "A BOAT FULL OF INDIANS!!!" and laughed till I was in tears!

I haven't been acting as dumb lately when I stoned (or felt as high??) Last couple of times I tried, just a little funny and out going

Okay so cutting to the chase...
I was on a blunt cruise with my sister and her freind, and she said to me
"your a lightweight, if you did shrooms you'd have a bad trip"
And her friend who has done shrooms, ecstacy, coke, etc agreed with her, and he said my Sis would be fine if she tried shrooms though.

why did my sister say that if I tried shrooms I'd have a bad trip? Is it cause I'm a light weight. If so, why Is it that I'm a lightweight? Is it literally cause I dont weight alot, and generally if you do, you tend to not trip so hard?? Or is it cause I'm young?? Or cause I'm new to weed and I never even got drunk before so my mind is totally new towards getting fucked up? Or some kind of combination? And is this just temporary? Or is ever trying shrooms bad. I think it's just cause I'm a new to drugs but idk.

Thanks in advance for any helpful answers. Peace

 

your brain isnt fully developed yet... i suggest you chill some on the drugs a few years..

 

Honestly you're wayyy too young. Give it another 5 years.

 

Even weed? I thought the only REALLY destructive thing about it is the effect it has on your lungs (assuming you smoke it). I even admit I'm definately way too young for any other drug(s) though.

Of course I'm way too young NOW, but I think 5 years is a little long. I could understand like 2, maybe 3, but even 3 sounds like quite awhile. IMO. I have no Idea how old you are, and I'm really not going to bother creeping on your profile to find out, but I'm assuming you're in your 20s/30s, and you might not understand that people are starting to do drugs alot earlier in age than when someone in their 20s/30s was in highschool.

Like my friends and family who are around my age aren't that surprised I'm already smoking, but my older friends are suprised and like "WTF?!?", and say I'm too young etc. (even at my young age) I do know people in who have done coke and heroin and are only in highschool. One of which recently overdosed. not saying I would ever dare touch these drugs, but when you were my age, you probably didn't even know what cannabis was, which is overall probably a good thing, but just so you can see where I'm coming from too.

 

having a bad trip on shrooms has nothing to do wih "being a lightweight", it's about being able to compose yourself when you get negative feelings, and tell yourself that you're just on a drug and it'll pass i personally have never had a bad trip(knock on wood). but yeah i suggest waiting a couple years too.

 

Stop this, young pawadan. We 20-30something folks knew damn well what was weed, shrooms and such in high school. And now, in reply to your original question:

I'd say wait a bit, at least a year or two. Use this time to search about the substance you wanna try, so you'll be in the best conditions ever to have your first time. I honestly had shrooms for the first time at 15 and it was great, but god I was glad I made my homeworks because I would have freaked the fuck out!

As for the risk of a badtrip, your mindset and the circumstances in which you take the shrooms have a lot more impact than your light weight. You have to be strong mentally to handle the psychedelic experience, physical strenght don't mean a shit.

 

Psychedelics go beyond just getting "fucked up". They have the ability to really change your way of thinking. They are something that you need to be educated about before you take them. Many bad trips are the result of someone who was uniformed as to what the drug would do. But they are not something that you need to fear when you understand what they are, and what they will do.

 

There have been some recent studies that show some links between cannabis use in teens and an underdeveloped or poorly developed endocrine (hormone) system. By the time a person hits about 23-25, those systems have developed, but at 14 your just beginning that phase of growth.
Use sense and don't smoke daily and only a few times a month and you should be ok.

I think shrooms would actually be safer than weed, physiologically speaking, but you really are way to young and most likely not emotionally mature enough for the psychological effects that psychedelics can produce.

So bottom line, continue being a kid while society will still let you. There will be time for psychedelics when you get older. People have been using psychedelic mushrooms for thousands of years. It's not as if they wont be around when your 18.

 

just wait. mushrooms will come around when the time is right. I was your age when I started smoking weed. I tried acid and ecstasy when I was eighteen and I just tried shrooms and DMT at age nineteen. And to be honest, I don't think I would have appreciated mushrooms the way they should be appreciated when I was younger. It was worth the wait. Mushrooms are not "just a drug". Just enjoy being a kid.

 

definitely wait lol, you said it yourself, you get "insane" on weed.. enjoy smoking through high school, but take it easy on the other drugs. You have your whole life to experiment..

 

I said "Chill".... Not the same meaning as "stop"..

 

I advice you to take any kind of psychedelics whenever you stop thinking about psychedelics to get fucked up, that's not the goal.
So yes, as almost everyone or everyone said, wait.

 

Unfortunately we know it doesn't always happen like that. For teenagers I'd say to go case by case, some will be able to consume responsibly and manage the risks while some won't. It takes 3 things for that, if a kid got them all, I'd say he/she's good to explore (with no excess, of course):

-Intelligence;
-Maturity;
-Education/information on the substance intended to try.

I have no lesson to give to that kid about waiting, when I was his age I already tried pot, E and speed. I did my homeworks though, seeking infos and listening to the advice my older friends who tried it had for me to reduce risks as much as possible, and I've been fine. That said, I'm glad I waited an extra year or two before diving into hallucinogens, because I know (and also knew back then) that I didn't have what it takes to manage with it.

 

I agree. Although I am a youngster as well, I have definitely considered doing shrooms. It makes me feel as if I'm in a Grateful Dead song.. entering a new world.. but to be on the safe side, I'd wait till you're a tad older. i know those are words from hell, but it's true.. I hated hearing them, you will too but it'll be worth it in the end!

 

You're misinformed. There have been studies showing a damaging effect on adolescent brains. You can choose to ignore them if you like.

 

I think you're too young

 

I hate to be rude but I think your personality would be enough to set you up for a bad trip; you'd likely start screaming at chairs and try eating your fingers or something...

 

I would agree with this completely. There are teenagers who I believe are perfectly capable of experimenting with psychedelics in a responsible and enlightening way. I like to think I was one of them

On my 16th birthday I took 10 grams of shrooms. It was my 8th experience with mushrooms and my strongest trip to date. The trip, as I will describe it does not sound like a "fun" experience but to this day it is still the greatest experience of my life.

Most of the experience I was throwing up, agony rippling through every single fibre of my being, but a tiny voice in my mind, my own voice, told me not to be afraid. It told me not to think of the pain as pain, but instead to think of it as a test of my mettle.

Sure in the face of a horrible shroom trip I could have let go and allowed my self to be swallowed by the sheer pain, instead I decided I would face it as something completely different.

The manner of the trip changed slightly, I began to realize the pain i was feeling was my own stubbornness and insecurities. it was the result of me living my life well below my potential, the result of me telling myself that no, I can't do it.

At this point in time I smiled, still vomiting, still experiencing the most intense pain I have ever felt to this day and yet I could honestly say I've never been happier. I could do it, I , a person who had mostly only thought of himself as weak and worthless, was able to lead himself through the most treacherous of waters and come out smiling and laughing.

I learned a lot about myself and my life and it changed me for the better. Had I not been able to keep my wits about me, had I not been able to tell myself I was just tripping and that the pain would subside in time I might have ended up in a much worse situation.

I've seen kids dose themselves too hard on shrooms, I've seen them trip so hard that they thought they broke themselves, that they thought they were fucked for life and should just kill themselves right then and there.

If you aren't prepared to handle the dark side of shrooms, then you shouldn't try them until you are.

 

From what you wrote in your original post I'd say that you are not ready for shrooms. I'd personally wait a few years until you are more mature. I don't think you realize what shrooms are really about. Or what an actual trip really is.

 

You're going to do what you want but i would wait if it was me. Shrooms can get heavy.
