The Shroom Thread

What would be my method below to have a good time solo (not spiritual or healing etc)

Mindset and setting is key. Will drive the whole experience. Sounds like hippie bs but generally find if you eat clean for a few days. Avoided alcohol for a week or so. Then on the day you are feeling good or at least not anxious then you are golden. Go for a walk or some light gyming/stretching is also great. Make sure to not have eaten for last 6 hours if you doing a evening trip or fast over night if doing in the morning. Either make a tea with it or lemon tek (reddit has lots of guides) is the best to consume to avoid nausea. Put your phone away and on airplane. Getting a text while at your peak will derail you hard. Make sure your environment is safe, with no strangers etc. I pretty much lock up my house and stick to the bedroom. Make sure someone trusted knows your doing it incase you have a bad effect or trip. Put a timer up so you know where you are with a trip if it starts feeling too overwhelming. I also put a white board to say i have taken something. As it can ground you if it gets too much and you dont know wtf is going on.

Time line is first hour your coming up, enhanced vision/hearing etc. Either reading a book outside or doing some stretches and a shower. 2nd hour pretty much on my bed in the dark with music/headphones for closed eye visuals and lost in your own world. Keep water by you. Then hours 3-5 make sure you have some nice snacks (e.g fruit, nuts, biltong, cheese, good chocolate) and a movie/series(anything scifi/marvel/star wars etc) to watch for the come down. Normally take it at 5pm and by midnight ready to go to bed. Peak can go out to hour 3 some times.

worst experience was hearing about something at work being up in the air and it got me stuck in a mental loop obsessing by it. 2nd was i was worried about a family matter that happened that day and again you hyper focus on it. Dont do massive dosage. If you going higher than 3-3.5g for your first few times your being stupid and playing with fire.

Dosing is pretty hard. Same strain and 3g can send you to the moon while another time you can just have a very chilled experience. Too many variables to try control. So just got to try your best and be aware of the risks of what you are doing

Thank you for giving me an idea of what to expect and walking me through a typical experience you've had.

The initial nausea and feeling uncomfortable.
I needed to Know that passes
 
I did some, slightly more than a Microdose
Felt anxious sweaty uncomfortable and it didn't change into anything pleasant

I was so Spacey and just curled up and waited for it to pass

I can't even imagine a 2 gram dose

For a lot of people a low dose is probably not the best dose. When I first started using mushrooms there was a lot of physical discomfort at the start and with a low dose I never really pushed past that initial phase into a proper trip. Low doses can often lead you to the gates where you just loiter uncomfortably & you shouldn't really extrapolate from a low dose experience what a higher dose experience would feel like.

Outline your prep before taking your dose please.
Also define what you define as a slightly ‘more than a microdose’ as well as strain taken with how taken.
Sounds complex, but the way you approach this amazing medicine, from the day you commit to after your experience is all linked.
Anxiety is common for first-users, one thing with mushrooms, approach without expectations, they will give you what you need, not what you may be wanting.

You forget you should have some great music lined up or a comedy or two. Access to the outside and a shower is definitely worth it too. I find that my mood has to be good before taking. You cannot be in a bad space mentally or emotionally - my opinion though. As a result, I don't get to do this often. If you could find someone you trust to guide you - that also helps. I had a friend help me through WhatsApp on my first trip.

Well I want to FOR my depression and low mood / energy.

I was thinking of booking a chalet in nature alone and doing it that way?

Prep was no prep in terms of mental space or intention. I just remembered I had them and took some and .. was curled up waiting for it to end.

IMHO, it doesn't cure depression (but it certainly shows you a new dimension), it just enhances the state of mind you're in already, so if you're anxious before you partake, then you'll have a bad trip. You have to feel safe and comfortable and in a positive frame of mind before you try.
 
The best experience is the first one (at least 3g). Forget about the music and taking walks in nature. Fire up the pornography or have a sexual orgy (drugs make me horny).

So what if I'm always negative and depressed? Then I should Never take shrooms? :(

I was hoping it would show me there's more than my depression or WHY I am depressed

Find someone who can do a guided trip with you. It needs to be someone experienced or someone you trust. Preferably both.

Have you considered adaptogens for your depression?

Bit of a catch22 then. If you want the lessons you need the higher dose imo. Low doses in my experience don't lead to the sorts of introspective revealings that higher doses do. At lower doses you're in control; always able to distract yourself from seeing yourself. At higher doses that control slips and light begins to shine in all those dark corners you've avoided looking your whole life; a mirror of crystal clarity is held up to your being and in that moment you either run away and have a bad trip or you look and see clearly. But there's no guarantee that any of this happens.

I'm also not someone who sets intentions. I just make sure I'm in a comfortable place and whatever happens happens - I don't like going into it with expectations.

(But also...if you don't feel comfortable taking a higher dose then don't take. But also don't expect much to happen with all these very low doses.)
 
How long does it last? In case I'm not having a good time?
I swear I read online somewhere of some medication who's side effect was.. that it stops a shrooms trip in its tracks
