Shrooms thread, / general psychedelic thread
I want to try Shrooms, it's shroom season but I'm not sure what to expect. My gf is telling me I shouldn't as she has seen people get fucked up on them and do silly things, but I really want to try some.
Can anyone tell me what to expect and why some people would react so badly on them? Maybe just took too much.
Also, I want to try lsd one day, just for the sake of it. But I've read that often there are many things which are sold as lsd but are not, how are you supposed to know what the real thing is?

people react badly if they go in paranoid or don't have experience being high. If you haven't been high or drunk before a lot before, don't do shrooms, you'll panic and have bad trip
>>769021942
If its your first time don't do it alone. Find a friend who can guide you through your trip.
2-3 grams (dry) on an empty stomach should get you a nice experience.
Try to go for a high psylocibin strand (ecuador or golden teacher) as the build up will be slower, giving you more time to get used to it.
Drinking beer helps with digestion (works for me anyway).
Don't bother getting weed, it'll taste like shit and have zero effect.
Music is important. Trip hop or light EDM works best for beginners.
Oh, and be prepared to get slightly uncomfortable. you're going to feel exhausted and get a slight fever, you get used to it eventually. Also don't be to eager to feel the effects, don't waste your trip asking yourself "am I high yet, is this it?" You'll know when you peak.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Thanks man, yes I have a friend who is interested in having a go too, maybe even a lower dose than that, what would be the lowest you could take and still have a trip?

>Don't get shrooms from some asshole, make sure it's legit
>Don't take them if you or your family have a history of mental illness
>A gram or two is more than enough. If you think you need/want to take more, wait for another day (month) to try
>Do expect to not feel high at first
>Do expect to feel paranoid at some point s, especially when it starts to hit you.
>Try to relax and enjoy it. If you have a bad mental state going into it or focus too much on the paranoia, you might have a bad trip.
>Try to have something to do or watch. The visuals are amusing but can become very boring after 6 hours
>Always funner with friends
>A beer or two feels nice with comedown
As for LSD, it is highly unlikely that you will find it legit. Even if you do, its probably mixed with something anyways. That being said even the fake shit feels pretty cool.

Check under image "Dose". But if I were you I would read all I can there. Highly reliable source of information.

Not lost nor searching. I am happy as I am
>>769021942
Eat a quarter ounce your first trip. It’s the only way to do it.
>>769023648

>>769023648
erowid is about as good as it gets when it comes to online info for psychedelics
>>769023754
There are lots of forums, I'm from Australia so I can't help you much, but psylospyben breaks down to a blue pigment when bruised so blue bruising is a good indication of if its a psychedelic mushroom. but that doesn't mean its not also poisonous, best to never eat anything you're not 100% sure is a edible mushroom otherwise ya die.

Ive taken so many psychedelics in my life. Do not be afraid. The phone rings. Will you answer ?
Ego death last night. Was pretty crazy, before and after was wicked though
>>769023935
Where are you from man?
>>769023683
>>769023639
The reason why I'm asking is I'm not sure if you believe what you're saying, that you aren't spiritual and that you are happy. Maybe you yourself aren't sure. What ever the case may be tripping on psychadelcis will bring all of that up to surface regardless. It can be terrifying to be fave to face with all you've been supressing for your whole life. This is the reason why some people have a bad trip. I myself had it, it was terrible, and I was faced with the stuff I was supressing. But I am glad I did it. I feel it's much better than any therapy, and indeed as if I got a whole life worth of therapy in one sitting.

Sounds good to me, even if it is bad at least I'll not be wondering about doing it any more
>>769024120
Bit past melbourne suburbs, pretty sure but dunno exactly, definitely know they're good
>>769024267
Very nice, I'm struggling to find good places they would grow, any tips? I'm not in the city so I don't have access to wood chipped places, need to find some wild ones
>>769024384
schools and shit with lots of garden beds, preferably older mulch
>>769024432
Yea I think I'll have to go have a look, back to the old school haha
>>769024524
its what i do and they're everywhere
>>769024574
Best to look at any time during the season or a few days after rains?
>>769024610
usually just after it rains
>>769024610
although we pick them fast cos the kids at school do too haha, could wait for them to get bigger
>>769024702
Hahaha fucking kids! If only I knew while I was at school, although I'm not sure it would have done me any good. Thanks for the tips, I'll keep an eye out.
>>769022726
I find it hard to really get off from less than 2 grams, but then again I've been shrooming for over ten years, basic dose for me is 5-6g but then I'm in it for like 12 hours.
When I said find a friend to do it with I meant someone who's actually used to the stuff. You need someone who can talk you out of bad ideas. First time my little brother tried it he was so fascinated with fire he would have burnt my apartment down if I wasn't there.
>>769025116
Shit, yea, that's true. We will find someone to trip sit us I reckon, and then give them some Shrooms lol
>>769025116
Same anon here.
About LSD, I'd advise you to get at least a dozen trips on shrooms before trying it. I'm not a fan myself, mostly coz its so fucking random. You never know how the tab is dosed before you eat it ; some times you'll hardly feel it and other times you'll be tripping balls for 2 days straight. Better have half a gram of coke on hand, as it helps tuning down the effects if the trip is too strong and you feel you're losing your grip.
>>769025382
Thanks for the info man, I was wondering what I should try first, lsd or Shrooms. I was going to try Shrooms first simply because you know what you are taking if you find them yourself. So I'm glad you said that
>>769022553
I must correct you, 3 grams for the first timer is way too much. Start with 1,5 or 2g at most, see how it feels, if you comfortable increase dose for next time.
Also don't eat or drink anything, take them on empty stomach. Most people get nausea from shrooms and drinking beers just might increase your chances of throwing up. Of course everyone is different, but for first time it's better to play it safe.
For me personally first hour after taking shrooms is extremely uncomfortable, I get overwhelming mix of paranoia, nausea and regret. But once my stomach settles down and shrooms kick in it becomes a wonderful and introspective experience. Your mind gets amazing levels of clarity, boost in creativity and you're just in awe of everything. Also time feels slowed down, 2 hours on shrooms feel like 6 hours in normal state.
Make sure you're in a safe space where you feel comfortable and with people you like and trust. Put on some music, have some fresh fruit and you'll have a great experience

I guess you're right, but then again it's highly dependent on the strand. Golden teachers are perfect for beginners as they're mostly stacked of psylocibin, making them slower to peak ; this allow for higher doses even for a beginner.
For those of you who're keen to learn : magic mushrooms have two substances in them : psylocin and psylocibin. Different strands have different dosage of both.
The thing is, only psylocin affects your brain ; psylocibin first need to be processed into psylocin by your body before affecting you. Thus, some strands are more beginner friendly (ecuador, teachers) because they peak slowly, while others (thai or cambodgians) are for more experienced users as they'll blast your head off within twenty minutes.

>people get fucked up on them and do silly things
that's what alcohol does.
I've never seen anyone of shrooms act crazy, they make you become hyper-aware of your surroundings so you act accordingly.
Worst case scenario if you take too much it will put you in a daze, where you won't even have the energy do shit, you'll just lay in bed and take in the trip.
