The Shroom Thread

I would say number 1 is to have a private setting where you're sure you won't be disturbed for the length of your trip. It can really change the tone of your trip when you have to try to deal with invaders from reality.

Have a positive, clean environment to trip in. Make sure everything you need is easily accessible because it can become really difficult to do some of the simplest tasks on psychedelics. Try to have some fun, interesting distractions available. Anything with patterns and textures is fun. If you want music, keep it light.

As for actually taking the mushrooms:
Fast for at least 6 hours before taking them. Food in the stomach affects absorption.
Don't try to break up the dose into multiple parts. If you take 1g+1g+1g over several hours it's not going to function like a 3g trip.
Ginger is incredibly helpful for nausea.

:ROFL: Key word being clean environment! On my last shroom trip I ended up noticing the tiniest dirty things. Spent a bit of my tip cleaning cause the dirt stood out terribly.

Before the trip kicked in your body can feel very heavy like you EXTREMELY stoned but without the lethargy. I tend to feel really sick during this time but as soon as I get over it its freaking awesome!
 
Thanks for all of the suggestions. Really weird regarding a clean setting but thanks for the tips.
 
Cleanliness or not never bothered me. Actually I haven't tripped in a while.

It is too personal to share here, but I did 5g last time I tripped. Didn't feel much, so I went for a nap. Bad idea. Don't want to share what happened, but I think your defenses are lower when you sleep. Something unpleasant happened, disturbed my identity. Took me weeks to recover. I might have... gained a better understanding of what I've been through and gone a bit further with... stuff. But it wasn't nice.

That being said, the best naps that I've ever had have been post shroom trip naps. Take 1-2g of shrooms on a Sunday afternoon and have a nap. I've never slept so well. And its a light enough dose to not mess with you.

So I bought the microdosing capsules from DGF and I'm underwhelmed so far.

I took a cap at around 4 or half past 4 and up until now I haven't felt anything. Bare in mind, these are 0.5g of Golden Teacherss per capsule, but I feel absolutely nothing.

I have never had any experience with any psychedelic substance prior to this.

Update: I felt nothing when I took 0.5g even after 4 hours. I then took another capsule 2 hours ago and I feel slight tingling sensations, but nothing other than that.

So I've taken 1g so far and still nothing.

Can someone confirm if the microdosing capsules from DGF are legit? I've never had any psychedelics before so I expected to at least feel something.

I'll take another capsule on Friday and see if anything changes.

It's a funny thing, but my mind will hyperfocus on mess and how it's evidence that I'm failing at adulthood and life on the whole. It's silly, but I've identified it as a trigger for negativity and I've heard similar things from others. You'd be amazed at how sensitive you can become while tripping. Another one I've heard from quite a few people is that killing things - we're just talking flies and ants here - made their trips take on a really bad vibe.

Same here. It's like my procrastinating in the past has resulted in this dirty floor and so it's not the dirty floor that's bugging me, but rather that I'm the kind of person who procrastinates about a thing that really takes no effort at all (cleaning the floor). How will I respond to the really important challenges of life if the floor was too much work. Or something like that. Hard to pin down with words why it bothers me so much but I've also learned to start the trip day by going for a run, get back and give the whole place a proper scrub down - toilets, floors - everything. Get in the shower and another proper scrub down.

This advice will be followed. Nobody wants a bad trip. Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Edit to add; would one be able to take the shroom shot whilst your young kids are at home, with you?

How do you deal with the taste? I had raw shrooms in amsterdam and vomited like in the exorcist in the streets.

That's was truffles that you had in Amsterdam. It's not dried mushrooms.

Dried mushrooms tastes like mushrooms. Nothing bad about it at all.

* Taking a drug that ruffles your psyche with other people around, especially other people who don't understand what you're going through & who are dependent on you is a terrible idea, especially if it's your first time and you don't know how to deal with the trip.

* If there's an emergency and you need to be an adult and get kids to ER or something and you're unable to drive - that's a kak situation.

Imo if this is your first time tripping then clear your plate as far as possible - no immediate responsibilities and people who are depending on you to have a clear head. I also don't think you'll go as deep when there's people around who you constantly need to appear normal to. You wanna be in a space where you can let go and dig deep. Once you've done it a few times & feel comfortable - sure, then make the call re. kids around.
 
I was just gifted a honey pot with fresh local honey straight from the hive! Got it from a freaking awesome friend :D

I was told its 2g and a smidge of Golden Teachers. Gonna have a lovely trip on Saturday after I make sure my house is clean :laugh:

If I not lazy trip report will follow.

And I was intending to buy some shrooms too.

I should have mentioned that the wife will be at home dealing with the kids and keeping me from losing it. I dont really have any other choice unless I do it alone at home which Im also not really fond of trying.

Not sure I really agree with that, but I'm not exactly a fan of raw mushrooms as it is. Fried fresh cubensis smell and taste pretty close to normal fried portabello, if less generally flavorsome. Freshly harvested cubensis have this (imo gag-inducing) smell that I find extremely distinct from other mushrooms.

I've never had sclerotia, but from what I understand you tend to eat them in a semi-fresh state as opposed to the mushroom fruit bodies which you'll normally eat cracker-dry so there'll generally be more to get down.
 
So on Sunday I had a shroom shot (mindbender) dosed at 2.5g but I think it was a bit underdosed.

It started setting in after about 20 minutes whereby I went to sit outside. My arms, some of the walls and my wife was a bit of a green colour, I also saw my paving breathing. Leaves had turned to a copper colour. I just sat outside, closing my eyes enjoyed the feeling.

When I closed my eyes it looked like blood flowing from top to bottom but I could not make out the face behind it, I could not get the red colour away. It was nice, but difficult to stand up but cool walking around in my yard.

I had some outbursts of laughing which was nice. At one stage I was on my back on the paving and never felt as calm as that moment it was very very relaxing

Whilst sitting in a camping chair my wife tried to feed me a piece of fruit or food and I freaked out a bit, her face had for a couple of seconds turned into a pterodactyl whilst trying to feed me, was weird.

My daughter came outside to play and we had an amazing bonding experience. She sat on my lap and I could see the laughter in her eyes which made me feel very light and somehow proud.

That was basically the trip. I never understood how people can say fruit is nice whilst tripping but holy balls the fruit salad was amazing!!!!!

Today I feel a bit more energetic but still "lighter" than normal, cant really explain the light feeling.

Halfway during the trip my wife lit the fire and started making some pizzas which was nice to sit and watch. I also realized just how much I love my wife and how beautiful she is.

Would definitely do it again and thanks for all of the tips I received from you guys, was of great help.
