bump? bump.

Dont expect anything...

environment is everything

thats all you need to know

Environment is not everything. I've had bad trips in the most friendly, comfortable environments possible, that I knew very well and inhabited daily during non-trip consciousness.
What it boils down to is that you don't really know if psychedelics are for you until you do them. Period.
But as this poster said, don't expect anything, that's for sure - don't expect to be under or overwhelmed by the experience. Don't fear the trip, and know exactly why you are doing it. Don't just do the 'shrooms because you want to get fucked up, etc.

That being said, if psychedelics are right for you, you're going to have a ball. The first time I ate mushrooms was with my best friend. We tripped at night, during winter, and we ended up just putting the movie "Ponyo" up on our friend's projector and watched it while listening to LFO's album "Sheath" at full volume on the surround sound. We just laughed and stared off into the walls, all of the colors reflecting from that very bright animation made all sorts of different visions on the walls. Afterward, we went for a walk, spouting all sorts of neologisms as the buildings seemed to ride the same wave as us - they looked to me as though they were floating up and down in the middle of the ocean. We took a detour through a college campus and walked on different sides of a busy city street, looking at each other the whole time and laughing - I remember thinking about how weird it was that I knew that person on the other side, I knew all about them, and also felt as though I was looking into a mirror.
In essence, psychedelics throw out the conscious ego and let your child-like subconscious shine through, and makes the world around you beautifully surrealistic.

How much are you doing, OP? I would suggest an eighth of an ounce for your first time.

Also, OP, post your trip report here after you do the mushrooms, I'm interested in how it goes.

>>253
Ah man, that sounds like such a awesome first time.I hope my first time will be just like that, a positive experience and a happy one at that. Ill be doing it with my best friend as well as some mutual friends possibly. We were thinking about going to the beach and tripping there, it seems like a cool place to do it. Unfortunately i wont be getting the shrooms until next week, my friend said our guy is out and is gonna get some this upcoming weekend. It will be awhile until i post my first time.

Im not doing this to get fucked up, i honestly what to open my mind more, find a new perception on life. See things in a different angle, a different light so to speak. Ive always felt that this world is too beautiful to be looked at in one channel. I want to feel happy to be here you know? I don't fear it at all, in fact im looking forward to it. Im not sure why but i have a fascination with wanting to feel out of this material world, i know i cant escape it though. I at least want to alter it, alter myself, alter my thoughts hopefully in a more positive and optimistic ways of thinking about what we are and why we are here.

Im probably gonna do an eighth like you suggested, a lot of people are saying that's a good amount to start with.

Sorry that i started this thread a bit prematurely since i wont trying it until next week, but i just wanted to hear more experiences and get myself in the positive mindset and keeping it optimistic haha

Thanks for all who reply, it truly helps. Ill keep you guys posted

Avoid areas full of people because it will end badly. I went to the fair had a bit of fun and then tripped out and thought i died. Just chillax and have a good time bro.

OP here

So today is the day... unfortunately i didn't really get shrooms, but shrooms in pill form. I'm kind of disappointed that this was all the guy had, but i figured i could still give it a try. he gave me 6 pills which is equivalent to an eighth apparently. I got kinda excited and i took 2 last night while smoking pot with my friend. I'm not sure if i felt anything, but i felt high because of the pot so i think it confused me. Wasn't sure if it was the pot or the pills making me feel good, but i didn't necessarily feel much. So today im gonna take the rest of the 4, and see how it goes. I feel kinda ripped off but hopefully i can get something out of it today. Wish me luck and ill report back in later today

This turned out to be a sad story.

SAGE has been used.

Sorry bud, you got ripped off.

>>257
Just because YOU had a bad time around people while tripping doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Yea, it probably isn't a great idea for a first ever trip, but some of us who know what we're doing enjoy that sort of thing.

>>287
>mushrooms in pill form
Hmmm, yeah ripped off. Unless it was acid, which it clearly wasn't.

Well the advice he gave was to someone doing it for the first time.. Lots of people can be very overwhelming, like a child being lost in a crowd.

My only shrooms experience was awesome. It took about half an hour to kick in and after that, everything was a blur. We found an old chimney sort of thing in the middle of a park. It was big enough for us all to fit in. We started making lighter bombs and jumping in pretending to teleport to Diagon Alley.

We then proceeded to a field where we managed to carve a ginormous penis into the grass.

We somehow ended up in town, sitting in a restaurant laughing hysterically at how the sweet and sour pork looked like legitimate shit. We couldn't even finish the meal because we all could not stop laughing.

Walking home was a terrible experience. We somehow ended up on the other side of town which just happens to be the black side of town. We didn't run into anyone but it was fucking horrible walking around, sketching out and thinking your going to be killed or something.

All in all, totally worth it.

I know exactly where the dude got those shroom pills. They are Psilocybe Galindoi and sort of weaker. If you have trouble buying them in your area you could always get them off the internet. That's where your dealer got them.

My first shroom trip was pretty cool. I didn't take alot though, maybe like half an 8th, so a 16th. No intense visuals, though I felt smaller and everything felt bigger. After a half hour of watching some Code Monkeys I took off my clothes and crawled bare ass naked to the basement bathroom, where I giggled uncontrollably while playing with the water in the toilet. Overall it was the cleanest, smoothest and best high I've ever had.

shrooms are fun/spiritual experience depending on the dose

Take 3 grams for the world to turn into a Monet painting and 8 to have your perception of time shift into eternity both forwards and backwards while you piss the bed.



don't take 8 grams at midnight because you will be one tired ass mother fucker at 5 am.

Don't expect anything, it seems different for everyone. It's good to be with people for at least the beginning, you'll feel happy and buzzed. Later on you might find that talking a lot, and especially moving a lot is not what you want to do.

You might want to find an outdoor area that you can go walking, or maybe some cool interior spaces (before you feel like not moving. I tripped for about 6 hours, moved a lot during the first 2 and a half). Your eyesite will do some really amazing things you might not have thought were possible.

I took 1/16 of an ounce and I never was confused into thinking that my mild hallucinations were real, I was fully aware that I was high but what was happening seemed to make a lot of sense to me. The hallucinations were just slight changes in my environment when I focused on things.

While being with a couple of people (who are or are not high) may be good, it might also be good for you to reflect on yourself and your life and where/who you are and want to be. You might find that things make a lot of sense.

Overall I had pretty much a life-changing, great experience. However the dried mushrooms were difficult to digest and I burped a lot and towards the end my stomach hurt and I got really gassy. I wasn't really too worried about it though. Probably to someone observing they would have been scared for me but in my head it was a very "this too shall pass" kind of thing.

Fucking yes.

a good time

the first time i shroomed i ate 7 gs because i thought they were bullshit. i didnt know anything about mushrooms at the time so i thought they would kick in in like 10 min. so after i was done eating them i called my buddy to tell him that the mushrooms we got were bullshit and he asked me how long ago had i taken them. i told him 20 min ago and then he started laughing and told me im in for a trip. so i still thought it was bs and laid in my bed to go to sleep. then i looked at my back light behind me and it started turning red and shape shifting into a purse looking form. then i couldnt stop laughing. purple wavy energy was shooting through my door frame cracks. the darkness felt more comfortable to me because i could still see things in the dark. i walked around my house in complete darkness following little light nodes hovering around the floor. my hands and feet kept expanding and shrinking. whenever i talked my voice would get lower and lower and then faster. time no longer existed. i looked at my phone buttons and they looked like glowing marshmellowy cartoon buttons. i called my friend. talking to him made me question reality. i started to panic. then he told me to watch something i really like. so i watched up to episode 12 of samurai champloo. (great mushroom show) then i wanted some time to listen to music and meditate kind of so then i had a huge spiritual connection with god and it felt as if i was communicating with my dead grandpa. so the trip lasted 10 hours and im surprised i didnt go mind fuck from taking 7 gs. i took a shower and cleansed myself from all the nasties. after i started coming down i laid in bed to go to sleep it was already like 10 am. while closing my eyes i could see weird trippy visuals spinning around. they were mostly red. wavy lines. listened to broken social scene and fell asleep.

so the next few days i was completely care free and happy with life and people. i was able to tolerate and be more passionate with people

dont start shrooming constantly without reason. dont abuse it. mistake I made. you've been warned.
