Recently I had my first trip on an 1/8th of shrooms. It was a great experience, very revealing for me. However, the trip really was not what I expected, it was not as visual as I thought it would be, and certainly not dissociative as I expected it would be. I'm now moving onto my next experimentation with magic mushrooms and will up my dosage from 3.5g -> 6g-7g, depending on what my friend who wants to have his first trip plans on taking. My question to y'all is: From your experience, would 6-7g of mushrooms *generally* be enough to propel the tripee into a dissociative state and possibly lead to more visuals and possibly an experience with religious meaning? Extra info: I'm not taking entheogens for the experience of ego death, religious meaning, or wild and crazy trips, but instead I take them to learn about myself and expanded consciousness. The experiences above are just side effects of the journey :hat:
Don't jump straight from an eighth to 6-7 grams. Go to about 5 first. Or even try another eighth. It sounds to me like you got shitty mushrooms.
I agree, 6-7 grams is huge dose and you definitaly dont want to do that much if you are doing it with a virgin to shrooms. Should be the other way around, if you take that large of a dose you will want someone to watch out for you.
try another eight from another batch. 2.5g had such powerful visuals for me that it was difficult to move about in my friend's room, as everything was melting into everything else. and my mind had been stretched across a matrix covering the entire universe, and then each point on that matrix was filled with the euphoria of every orgasm every organism has ever experienced, for like 3 hours. so yeah, weak mushrooms.
REALLY depends on the quality. Cubes can be twice as strong (or weak) as other cubes, depending on how they were grown, dried, stored ect. So 6 grams could be like 3 grams or 12 grams depending. If you dont grow your own its a tricky game to play. Best bet is to buy an ounce, then can test them and at least you know what strength your dealing with, do 3 grams and trip from there. Still have 25 grams left to play with. Ive had trips with 2 grams of shrooms that took me to another point in time/space. Might not have been cubes though.
Ya with cubes I've gone up to 4.5 grams and watched my leopard print blanket flow toward me like running water and mine and my buddy's tie die shirts melt and spin and swirl. But on 3.5 of cyanescens I was thrown into a psychedelic sea of euphoria, my "self" existing as (I guess what you could compare to) a sperm swimming around in it, it was wonderful. And did I mention the pictures on the TV were jumping out at me projecting themselves in reds and blues, constantly changing with every scene? So what I'm saying here is cubes are fine and dandy and all but if you can get some more powerful shrooms (cyans, azuras, beaos) go for it asap and remember taking the same amount you did with cubes would actually be upping your dosage. If you live in the PNW by any chance your in paradise if you don't it'll be tough to find anything but cubes IMO but good luck
I'm in Orlando right now and I've only met one shroom dealer. Trying to find another one through my brother's connects. Thanks for the advice everyone, it is much appreciated.
Ya man your actually in cube heaven, start researchin' get on those cowfields next summer maybe score some panns for variety. Free shrooms woohoo!
I don't see how learning about yourself and expanded consciousness is really any different from ego death (a kind of expanded consciousness) or religious experience (a kind of learning). Don't use the term "entheogen" if you don't want those connotations. Not that I'm trying to be a dick or anything.
I understand what you're saying. I'm just saying that I'm not taking psychedelics to experience ego-death alone. I'm taking them to learn things, and if those things happen along the way then I'll appreciate the experience.
That's a good perspective to have. I know too many people that start taking psychedelics seeking some sort of religious or mystical awakening, only to be consistently disappointed when this does not happen. I think the best mentality to have when partaking of a substance is a blank slate. Try not to have any preconceived notions of what you should experience during the trip. I've often found certain chemicals useful in trying to solve a personal or artistic problem; however, if I begin the trip with this problem in mind, I generally find it impossible to clearly think about it. The drugs do me, not the other way round.
I doubt the next batch will be the exact same potency. 6-7 grams is taking a big risk. I'd sooner recommend 5 hits of L.
I know connotations wasn't the best word, but considering the literal meaning, using that terms implies some sort of connection to mysticism or religious feeling.
