Post your experience with the Happy Honey pot if you have tried it.

Reckon it could be halved into two doses for a first timer psychonaut?

I would go for the whole 2.5, 1 gram is a waste.

1g of good product is enough. Just remember that alcohol and eating after taking the mush dulls the effect big time.

just a heads up as well. a while ago I took 1g. but I drank 6 or 7 energy drinks throughout the evening. I was high till 5am and couldnt sleep. Not sure wth happened. But I started irritating myself.

so...avoid that.

 

[Ancalagon]

Remind me to post some links to scientific studies demonstrating a range of percentages. San Pedro ranges from 4.7% (dried) to 0% (dried).

That's the problem with it.

Quick question. Do any of you know of confirmed sources of dmt or 5meo in any plants found in the Highveld?

In the highveld no, but I think I remember hearing reports of a succulent that grows on the KZN coast that contains it. I forget the name of this succulent unforunately! Will look for it. Not sure how "confirmed" this is.

EDIT: I see @schuits already mentioned - Delosperma cooperi

Really? So it wouldn't be overdoing it for a newbie? And how about the mindbender tequila shot?

Interesting, thanks for your post. So you say for example 1g of quality goldies (fresh right? not dried) is a decent first time dosage?

Appreciate the heads up. Wouldn't you find it odd that they use tequila in the mindbender shot for example, considering the interactions you mention with alcohol? Or does the quantity of alcohol in that shot make it negligible?

When you mention your experience with 1g + energy drinks; would you be willing to mention specifically what the 1g consisted of? And out of curiosity, which energy drinks did you consume in particular?

Mine are dried, mostly , I grind em up with a weed grinder and put in capsules. 1g makes 8. So i take 4 and 4. easy to swallow , no bad taste and gets right to business. My first time ever I think I had about 2g, but was at a Halloween party with a lot going on. I find when I have mushroom braais these days 1g each is plenty. As Ive said before a good mushroom trip takes a bit of practice. Most I ever had in an evening was 23g , and it stopped working around 15g. (had over about 6 hours) , did hit me the next day though.

But yes, good quality, 1g all at once will give you the sufficient peaceful happy trip you after.

I used to drink and had to take a lot more mushroom to get anywhere. So I gave up the bottle and decided only shrooms , first day I tried it without drinking anything was amazing. Like I was doing it for the first time all over again, and that was only 1g eaten with sour worms.

I always keep my bar fridge full of energy drinks. I throw a few of each into the basket each time I goto shop. Usually Monsters and the switch flavours, maybe play and dragon.

Cant recall which I had that night but was definitely a combination of brand energy drinks.

another interesting thing I noticed was that if you drink cranberry juice it hits you alot quicker and wares off alot quicker.

I would say don't plan to do anything and take it, it's nowhere near a high dose and the quality is also most probably subpar. If you only want some visuals and feel happy and still function go for 1 gram. I've never tried the tequila sorry but I wouldn't mix alcohol with shrooms.

 

[WorldWarIII]

agreed, planned "AmAzIInG" trips never work out. It is after all an enhancer more than anything else. If you not in the mood to have a good time you wont.

so just be eazy breazy always.

Thanks! These are great reads

I think It's quite misleading though to be calling all Trichoecereus' San Pedro. In general, when people talk of SP they talk of T. Pachanoi. I've got no doubt that there are various species in this family with no mescaline content.

Well yeah, that's true. T.Pachanoi is San Pedro, nothing else is. Neither the article I linked to, nor the journal article, make that mistake.

The journal article specifically mentions tests of T Pachanoi that showed no mescaline content. Again, check the table!

I think 2g/2.5g is a nice dose for a newbie. Heck, I haven't gone much beyond that myself.

Yes, you can do 1g, but the problem with 1g is that you might not notice much. 1g won't really make you trip. It will just make colours stand out and you might get some visual hallucinations.

My advice would be to take 2g for your first time, because it is a great introduction to what mushrooms can do. I do think it is a good idea to have someone to guide you. If you don't have anyone that you can trust, those of us here on the forums can help you.

With 2g, I'd expect you to notice emotional effects (probably euphoria), thought loops and visual hallucinations. You may "dream" a bit.

@WorldWarII @krieg @Ancalagon

Very informative, much appreciate the advice.

If cannot find any locals (maybe @mister ?) , then will perhaps place an order and lean on you guys for a few hints and tips

Oh hehe christ that was dumb. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'd also advice 2g. It's nice and not over the top, you will still be able to be rational if you need to. I tend to do so 3 or 4 times a year at most for some inner cleansing though I haven't done so in the last 14 months since the last one I took, I washed down with strong booze to experiment and that IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. it was only 2g but it felt like death and I could not reason out of it no matter what I tried. It is not the same as these 6+ trips and ego death one reads about as I had those experiences before, it just felt like pure death and evil

Imagine it was the shroom's way of telling you to rather stop drinking because its going to kill you.

Note, Im just kidding and not reading anything into your trip experience.

True. The only hard stuff I have currently is some homebrew spiced rum my brother in law gave me after the lockdown. They were having a ball during the lockdown building kettles and having fun brewing, and when he graciously offered and I realised he is still alive and not blind yet, I accepted. Flippen nice stuff that to make an awesome R&r

Peace and blessings to everyone. I've been peeking in and out this thread for several months (as part of my preparation for first time use of shrooms). The most essential advice I received from this thread at the beginning is that research is essential, so I'll just post the site I found most useful for research resources (scientific articles, books, and other media):

Index of /public/Psychedelics/Psychedelic Library 5.0/1 - Collections by Substance/Psilocybin & Mushrooms/

The Eye is a website dedicated towards archiving and serving publicly available information. #opendirectory #archive #digitalhistory

the-eye.eu

My last stage of preparation is ofcourse getting a plug, and I'm well aware that it's a very sensitive matter for reasonal purposes (security, etc.) in the shroom community. But I like how Ancalagon put it:

To be fair, if I lived in South Africa, I might just order too. I mean, its so easy. You don't have to worry about it. It isn't legal, but your chances of being busted are virtually nil.

No disrespect to the patriots, but the country is a banana republic. I'm not trying to undermine anyone's security here, but again quote the wise Ancalagon's words:

Nah it's not inappropriate.

But... tell the friend to register and post here himself.

I mean, maybe a kind soul on this forum will volunteer. But it will be easier for people to trust this friend of yours if he posts here.

I thought I'd take my chances and ask if anyone around Gauteng could plug me with safe and trusted dry shrooms (preferably the well known starter "Golden Teacher") I'm visiting my grannies farm for the first week of December, and I'd like to enjoy the scenery a little bit more than the previous annual visits.

Thanks to whoever started this thread, I often view this as a scientific community considering the accumulative ideas and observations that have been exchanged here.

 

[Ancalagon]

Pretty sure I killed my shroom grows. Not sure exactly how. I think maybe the heating mats that I use to provide heat were too hot. Nothing has happened in the last week - no mycelial growth. It is too soon before I leave for South Africa for me to start again now, so I'll have to wait until January. Damn. I was looking forward to a trip before I leave. I'll still see if I can trip while in SA though.

I have decided that I want to grow Natal Super Strength from Sporespot. Pity the shipping to the UK is expensive! And I don't think it is a good idea for me to bring spore syringes in my luggage.

What about spore prints? Not sure what anyone else's experience is but I'm struggling to grow them, very slow growth and stalls in almost all my jars so far.
