The Shroom Thread

PseuDohNom said:
No need to do any heroic dosage. How much are you planning and in what form? I ask because if you just want to relax, weed is fine as a sedative. Shrooms will make you feel more, not less, so expect this and the possibility of deep introspection depending on how much you take.

Context is key. Relax into the experience. Expect your focus and attention to sharpen. Odd things will catch and capture your attention, like trees, leaves blowing, insects etc. You may feel like static images start to slowly move like a Lava lamp as it starts working. I love listening to philosophy or music because it feels like your brain is operating on a different level to normal. Everything seems a lot deeper and more significant.

Expect the possibility of a slight discomfort in your stomach, but easily manageable if your prepare for it.

There really is nothing to fear below 3g. I took 1g first time around just to feel it out and even then the experience was very pleasant. Enjoy!

Thank you for explaining this so nicely! I'd like to try 1 gram

Pleasure. I sometimes chop it up in the coffee grinder and take it dry on a teaspoon. Avoids the endless chewing, because they can get a bit chewy and they do taste shyt.

Just slam the whole 2g and make a night of it.

Yogurt and lemon dude! Had a nice trip last night. Just don't switch the bathroom light off because it can be hard to find again Do you guys get a feeling that stuff repeats itself while tripping ?

Yes. I took 2.1g the other weekend and went into a little loop for about 15 minutes. Was a bit weird but also learned a lot during the trip.

No loops for me, but quite possible I guess considering the subjective nature of reality perceived by the brain. Time is really just a construct of the human mind anyway. I mainly take small doses to shift perspective a little. Haven't actually done a high dose in ages.

What do you do with the lemon and yoghurt?

Apparently the lemon juice helps with digesting the shrooms or something. Chop the shrooms up and squeeze lemon juice over it and let it sit for a while and then you add it to a yogurt to mask the taste
 
I just make a tea out of the shrooms. Eliminates practically all of the nausea. Works great.

Lemon juice works great. I blended 5g of Shooting Stars into about 300ml and downed it. It's a grey mess and not appealing to drink. A chocolate for afterwards is always useful so you can digest it quickly.

I also avoided eating any meat and heavy foods during the day and the night before and took it on an empty stomach.

30mins after drinking it everything started. It was profound.

I had trip sitters, because, well, it was my first time doing such a high dosage. Normally I take 2-3g but this time I was given a copious amount.

Eish, one of the hardest parts of a trip is seeing yourself for the first time.

I can relate to this quite well. Before I started my endeavours I had to deal with myself before I could enjoy the experience. It changed me big time.

I tell everyone that's interested in a trip that they will have to make peace with themselves, otherwise it's not going to be a pleasant experience. They have to be ready to face themselves.

It's so worth it.
 
Hmmm ways to eat it? Powder in a coffee grinder with some oats, stir in some peanut butter & honey, cocoa powder, maybe some cinnamon....mashed banana, coconut oil, some blueberries...mix it up, pop in the fridge for a few minutes so the coconut oil sets a bit and makes cool changes to the texture of the psychedelic pudding.
 
Beyond thought loops and looking at yourself which can be scary, is there any positive aspects like lift in mood or any euphoria like with E?

I would definitely say I'm in a better mood after taking some mushrooms even for a couple of days afterwards. Most of the trip itself for me is euphoric. Haven't had to deal with a bad trip yet.

Psilocybin is known for working effectively as a mood enhancer and it is possible to experience very strong euphoria due to the change in sensory perception (which varies of course by dosage). Due to this though, it is also possible (though rare), to experience extreme terror which may take a while to get over. There are some simple steps to avoid this from happening and most people recover from these experiences within a few weeks and walk away with very valuable lessons learned.

This is the common misconception among most people who want to "trip" on mushrooms like they "trip" on various other recreational drugs.

These hallucinogens are not to be toyed with. If you want to feel like Deadpool for a few hours, just snort some coke or pop some E. You'll have a great time and learn absolutely nothing from the experience, other than you want to do it again and again.

Psilocybin, DMT, LSD etc can provide absolute insight into the inner workings of the human mind, answers to the meaning of life, and explanations for cultural phenomena like religion if you allow them to. This is why setting and intention is key when taking significant doses. This is not a party drug. These are drugs of spiritual cultivation. They confront you and this silly facade which you hide behind in everyday life. They force you to be absolutely honest with yourself and to look at your life objectively without prejudice.

So to answer the question, the results of this inward honesty could either be absolute bliss and contentment, or the realisation that you are a selfish, egotistic, misguided human with lots and lots of things to fix. And if you're stubborn and try to fight this newfound truth, you could be in for a bad time.

I find it depends on various things. Set and setting have already been mentioned, but I think another is actually dosage.

I find that it more effectively boosts my mood at lower doses. At lower doses, you take a bit and you feel fantastic. Just a great all round mood.

The worst dose is actually the mid dose - around 1g to 1.5g for me. This is because, it isn't strong enough to be psychedelic, but it is way stronger than a microdose. Sometimes I find that my thinking becomes really dark on doses like that. I start thinking about the past and what might have been, and because mushrooms amplify emotion in general, that can get really dark really quickly.

Above the threshold of a psychedelic dose, which is 2g for decent quality shrooms, things are better. You get so caught up in the wave that you don't think about yourself or your misery. You wake up feeling calmer and maybe a little wiser.

It does depend on a lot of factors, and I will say that even a dark trip can make you realise stuff that you needed to know.
 
I actually soaked a piece of Gill and tissue, in a bit of water. Then did a dog food and agar tek. Then placed the pieces on the agar
But I’m not too sure about the results I’ll be achieving
It’s been sitting for about 3 days, and I started seeing a very slow growth of mycelium. I’m pretty sure it is. Clear white there is bit of contamination though.

this my first time growing so I don’t know what to expect, especially using dried mushrooms
