Hey guys im new here my names Tom and im 15. Ive been smoking weed on and off for about a year and a half now (pretty heavily in the last couple of months especially) and i'm planning on trying mushrooms within the next couple of weeks. Ive done literally hours of research on erowid and the like and i've decided to definately give them a go. Now, i've got a couple of friends who want to trip as well and don't get me wrong, they're great guys its just they can get pretty annoying at times and i'd prefer not to have to put up with annoying people on my 1st trip for obvious reasons. Anyway I can confidently say i'm ready to try the mushrooms and I was wondering if any of you could advise for/against me tripping solo for a first time (on a low dose, probably no higher than 1.5 dried grams). For the majority of the trip I would just be lying in bed listening to hendrix/the doors/beatles type music and may check in here just to let you guys know how its going, what do you all think of this idea?
btw when i'm stoned I would much rather be by myself so I can relax and play guitar/write songs so I hope i'd like mushrooms solo as well.
If you feel you'd be more comfortable tripping alone then do so...just make sure you're going to be able to get a hold of a friend in case things start getting dark. Otherwise, enjoy.
yeah dude, you would be happy tripping alone. being on your own with nothing but yourself and a guitar; oh my, it's the best experience ever. just make sure you trip somewhere where nobody will roll up on you and bother you. no parents, random friends, etc. decide day or night. honestly i always do during the day because the sky is gorgrous. you could sit outside and play guitar, or watch the clouds from your room while listening to hendrix. yeah, i'm jealous - i want to do that. trust your intuition: if those friends might be annoying, they WILL be and i suggest you avoid that sort of situation. as for you being alone, i think you'd have nothing to worry about. turn off the phone too. just chill our by yourself and make some music. you will be surprised when you play your guitar tripping.... it .... is.... amazing..... peace.
Cheers for the replies guys, would you guys recommend mushies or acid for a first time? I really want to try both but i'm having a much harder time finding the shrooms (we had a guy but he keeps coming up with excuses as to why he couldn't get it ) so i'm thinking I might take half a sugar cube of acid and see how I feel a couple of hours after that.
Mmmm, definitely start with the mushies if you're going it alone as LSD can be an earth-shattering substance and I would highly recommend taking it with someone who's experienced with it (whether or not they're actually tripping themselves). I'd also suggest taking a whole cube, as a half isn't going to do anything for you.
Yeah man good pick go with mushrooms first... i did the same thing at 15 i reserced the shit of em.. i think it helps prepare you in some way but you can never truly prepare for your first trip or a really hard core trip
mushrooms is the best for a first trip because it teaches you a lot about yourself, the world, your emotions, etc. like i tell most people before they trip for the first time, have water available. you'll get a bit dehydrated. tripping alone could be really wonderful for your first time. but do make sure you can have a friend you can contact if your trip starts taking a dark turn.
Cheers for all the replies guys. Yeah, i'm thinking i'll just take the time to find some mushies, even if it means waiting longer to trip, oh well.
you won't trip on a gram and a half. ---------------- Hey purplegel! which side of the atlantic are you on?
That's for cubensis I assume? If you're going to be taking liberty cap you'll need more because they are weaker.
My experience with liberty caps (wild, northwest) is limited, but they always seemed markedly more potent by wieght than wild p.cubensis from the S.E.
