Shrooms

[steelcmg]

As long as everything goes right im going to try shrooms for the first time this weekend. I have done a few different drugs before but never anything hallucinogenic so im wondering what are some things to expect and what are some things i should try doing.

[ihardlyknowher]

Be prepared to go to the edge of your sanity and back. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

[IndieMatty]

I'd make sure you don't have too many mirrors around. Seriously. Just drink water, IMO everyone should do shrooms once in their life. It's completely harmless and really is cool as long as you don't have any deep emotional problems.

[krimson]

Expect to giggle uncontrollably and see your constructs of reality break down in front of you.

[Malachii]

Take some antioxidants before you do them. Check out http://www.erowid.org/index.shtml for more information about them in general. Have fun. Be safe.

I personally found mirrors quite enjoyable, but I guess this is very dependent on your self-image.

When the purple elephant hikes to piss on you, man, you'd better just let him.

Say hello to Jesus for me.

[Soul Daddy]

Mmmm...

I've really only known one person that had a bad experience on them, and that was after a week-long bender.

I've had fun camping, at concerts, whatever... but I think the best times are just sitting around with other friends on the same level, watching crazy movies, listening to music, video games. Just normal stuff seems to be the most fun. And try to have someone there that you really trust, just in case you start to get uncomfortable.

I have 2 chocolates to take on vacation with me next week. It's been over 2 years for me, should be interesting.

[steelcmg]

How long does it usually last me and my cousin are going to get an 1/8 to split.

[oddjob]

in my experience, make sure you empty your bowels and be close to a bathroom. everytime i've taken them, i've gotten ill (this i remedy by puking then enjoying the trip), and it makes me have to [censored]. it's not fun needing to take a [censored] with no available toilets.

i was once at a halloween rave having a blast on them, when i had to take a [censored]. well the one available toilet had [censored] piled above the seat (how these stupid ravers accomplished this, i'll never know) i ended up leaving, and with no taxi in site, i had to walk... a while. i was hallucinating toilets everywhere.

[unlucky513]

do not leave your house - being around people that won't [censored] with you is good too.

for a little bet when i was tripping i got the chills every time i took a breath... it was crazy..

also, smoking pot is good while tripping.

A long time. It will seem like days, but 4-6 hours.

I find pot to be a necessity with the shrooms. Well, also without the shrooms...

[steelcmg]

Then ill have to make sure i have some weed around might as well do it the right way.

[dcasper70]

They last about 4-6 hours, with the peak being hours 3-5.

Make sure your in a comfortable environment with good reliable friends. I'd suggest an empty house or out in the woods, with no chance of interruption by any authority figures or general buzzkillers.

Oh, and strobe lights rock!

Edit: Good call on the weed.

strobe lights do rock when you're tripping. i once felt everything go slow motion for like 5 mintutes. it was awesome. the music, the people, the lights... slow motion. so cool.

one of my favorite things is to lie on a beach or grassy field and watch the clouds on a full moon.

i wish i could have done that.. i live with a couple guys who had done shrooms a few times before. they didn't let me off the front porch. i had a pair of aviators (everything was too bright w/o them, plus my pupils were the size of basetballs) and i sat on the porch and watched buildings sway in the wind. i think 3D glasses would be insane while tripping.

not to hijack the thread, but other good suggestions? i got some leftovers that i want finish before i move.

btw, to the OP. i usually make tea with my shrooms. they taste like ass, so get something to eat them with. things in the past i've done. dipped in peanut butter. dipped in nutella (actually yummy), made chocolates. i like the tea the best, just steep them in hot water and add the tea of your choice, or you can cool the water, make kool-aid. and then you don't necessarily have to eat them. plus i think they work faster this way. in my experience.

although since it is your first time, maybe you should have the full experience, of trying to choke those things down plain. adds to the fun.

Plan a bit ahead of time to make sure that everything will be comfortable and you will feel safe. Find a place where you won't be disturbed, only be around people who are either tripping with you or who you trust and won't [censored] with you.

Also, be well-rested and well-fed before the trip starts. Once you start tripping you won't be able to eat or sleep, but if your body is hungry or tired it will let you know. It won't feel like normal hunger or fatigue, though, it will just cause an all-around bad feeling that can ruin a trip.

Expect to feel sick to your stomach a bit before the trip starts. When it first starts to kick in you'll feel all sorts of wierd physical symptoms and will likely get pretty anxious - just wait this out and it will go away.

And finally, once you start tripping, don't force it with "trip toys" or psychedelic movies or anything... just relax and let it come. My best trip ever I was just walking around downtown providence in the middle of the night - it was deserted and we just wandered around looking at the buildings and talking and such. Tripping at night is nice because you can go outside and not have to deal with nearly so many random strangers (but remember what I said about having enough sleep). I find it's nice to remove yourself from your normal environment - don't be around things that will remind you of your day-to-day stresses.

Finally, I would have some weed handy (especially if you are stoner), but don't smoke it right away. The shrooms will take a while to kick in after you eat them, and you will be tempted to get high in the meantime, but its worth experiencing the trip on its own before you dillute the sensation (especially because you will likely be coming down a bit before they kicks in). Once you smoke, you'll find yourself not wanting to move very much, so imho its best saved for the end of the trip.

damn, now I want get some... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I would just reiterate that you need to make sure you are in a comfortable environment. I have done shrooms a few times, and I absolutely hate being around people that are not also tripping. Just make sure you are well set-up and don't do it if you are in a bad mood. I don't really like shrooms that much, but everyone should try it at least once.

[SoSo]

it'll be less impressive than u think, however smoke a [censored] load of skunk for an amazing trip.

[Boris]

expect to puke or at least feel sick to your stomach for a few hours. smoke weed. have a bottle of whiskey on hand if you get nervous. otherwise avoid alcohol as it will dampen the effect.

this is just what i've heard.

[Cunning Linguist]

How is shroomsex... do shrooms give you shroomdick?

[Los Feliz Slim]

Just have fun, man. Don't overthink it, because your plan will go out the window. I wouldn't go to a club or anything, I've rarely had fun tripping around lots of people who aren't. But, go with the flow and do what you feel like doing - it will really depend how hard you're tripping at the given moment.

It needs to be reiterated that throwing up after taking shrooms is common. So just chill if that happens.

Someone suggested watching The Wall, I advise against it. Or any other movie, for that matter. Especially Jacob's Ladder. Don't watch that.

Depending on your specific circumstances, nature can be really really awesome. Best "trip" I ever had was on a float trip down a quiet, lazy, river. Sweet.

[GeniusToad]

Surround yourself with people that make you feel relaxed. Put yourself in a familiar environment that doesn't make you feel anxious. If you've ever done acid, don't worry, this is much less intense. If you haven't done acid, this may be one of the most intense experiences you've had. Drink water. Eat first because you may not want to eat during. Don't eat too quickly before hand, however, you don't want too full of a stomach. They'll taste terrible, but you'll get over it.

-ENJOY!

[GeniusToad]

Somebody in an earlier reply mentioned tea. This is a great idea. You can make honey tea with shrooms. It tastes much better than eating and the effects are still the same. The only thing is that it takes a while to prepare the tea so if don't want to wait around it may not be the method for you. Look around on the web for a good recipe.

Key points that need to be repeated. It's usually not "that" fun to be around people that aren't tripping because you're on a whole other plane of existance.

Although I've had fun being with friends who were also tripping and going to public places (bars/clubs) and seeing the monsters that lurk inside strangers and laughing our asses off. But I don't recommend that until you've tripped 5+ times.

People have forgot to mention how god awful they taste. Make sure you have something to wash it down with.

Watch some cool videos. Outkast videos are great. Also I recommend watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I walked around Vegas once tripping. The casinos were pretty.

My advice, stay home.

[newhizzle]

there dank have fun

i still got 6 doses left sitting in my drawer, havent had time to eat them yet, me and my boy split 59 i only had 1 to sample and sold the rest, i havent triped superhard in a while

Make sure you use them in a setting where you are very comfortable. Camping (if that's your deal), your house, a friend's house, etc.

dont take this seriously, its fun to do eventually, but your first time id take any where from a gram to an eighth, depeding on how good they are, this varies a lot

dont play poker till the next day

they run 20-35 an eighth 75-150 an O

In high school we thought it would be a good idea to take a bunch of shrooms, and video tape ourselves. At the time this seemed like a really good idea, and we had a great time watching it over and over again as we were peaking. Was by far the best time I have had on shrooms. Problem was, my buddies parents found the tape, and sent copies to all our parents.

[Jeebus]

ignore the people that say you are going to the end of reality or anything. Your eating shrooms not acid. It's gonna make you have a permanent smile, laugh at a whole bunch of things and see shadows that move. If you trip real hard you might see 2 deminsional hallucinations on walls and such. mirrors aren't fun. You are going to think alot of strange stuff, just go with it. If you try to fight the drug your in trouble, if you let it lead you you will be great.
Smoke a good bowl right after eating so that the shrooms can slowly replace the weed and the transition becomes much easier.

[steelcmg]

Well i got some good advice about shrooms i plan on chilling at someones house and just taking in my surroundings. It does seem like everone and there mom has tried them in OOT and no one has had really any bad experiences with them which is good. Now i just have to hope everything goes as planed. But ill be sure to post about it.

Do not go to a parade. It will freak you out. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Chill with your friends at one of your places, preferably a place with a nice back yard or balcony or something so you can go outside to experience things differently.

I can't reiterate it enough: make sure you don't do this on an empty stomach. I did and just collapsed (physically, not mentally) in my friends' kitchen. Then again, the other stuff might've had an effect.

Have fun /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[cnfuzzd]

shrooms are the zima of the hallucenogenic world. If you cant handle the shrooms, not only should you not be doing drugs, you should probably just kill yourself.....

that having been said, i like either going to loud intense rock shows, or hippie jam bands, or out on the town, or a friends house. Or anywhere. Good times always abound. Have fun, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Since everyone always has some lame suggestion of an activity to do while you are tripping, i will suggest standing on a chair (no falling allowed) and look into your kitchen. Then realize most suggestions people give you are about as exciting.

Man, i wish i could get some acid. Two days out of every three if i could.

peace

john nickle

[smokingrobot]

also be prepared to throw up/get very sick to your stomach.

if you make it in a tea, you're less likely to get sick i hear, but i never tried it.

[DarkForceRising]

One of the best parts of tripping is that you can drink alchohol with virtual impunity. The hangover will be rough but you will never feel excessively drunk. Also, I agree with those against watching movies like "The Wall". Too weird and negative. Surround yourself with people and music that makes you feel good and you'll have the time of your life. I wouldn't worry about having to [censored] your pants from the stuff but puking is a possibility (which is why I prefer regular acid). No biggie, though- just have the ol' toothbrush and toothpaste handy and once you got it out of your system you'll be good to go.

Ater dosing your throat will start to feel tense after a little while. Not in a bad way- it's just that that is always the first thing I noticed. Then it's off to the races. If it is reasonable quality you are looking at an eight hour or longer commitment.

[Augie]

Have your life in order. And your responsibilities taken care of.

Comfortable surroundings. Some weed and some orange juice. A trusted friend to shroom with.

Have fun, and DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE!

Maybe I'm the only one, but I tripped twice and both trips were terrible. This is likely because: 1) I'm a spaz who shouldn't be doing drugs 2) I had way too many. I didn't know my own name for most of it, and the first time I was sure my trip would never end (that's a really bad feeling).

I strongly recommend starting early in the day, taking a few, waiting an hour or so, then taking more if you want. The worst thing you can do is have too many. And be prepared to throw up. Make sure there is nothing that will overwhelm you (not a lot of noise or people you don't know), as it will be very easy to become overwhelmed.

If I trip again, which I will when I gather the courage, I'll be sure to draw or write something. Not that I have any drawing or writing skills, I just think it will be cool to see what I come up with. Music is good too, I'd go with DSOTM.

Have fun.

[Tailgunner]

Man, I can't believe nobody mentioned campfires. If you can get your hands on a couple color changing logs, that's even better. Unless one of your friends is going to insist on trying to get in. Of course if he's that stupid he probably had it coming anyway. Hell, even sterno is fun. Definitely bring the Floyd and weed. Oh, and make sure you have plenty of smokes, beer, etc. beforehand.. you don't want to have to make a run to the store on your first time, since you'll probably be sober by the time you get there anyway /images/graemlins/grin.gif

PS - Don't pay any attention to those who say you should do this, or shouldn't do that (like mirrors, for example.) Tripping is a very individual thing, and you need to find what is positive or negative for you. Have fun, be safe. Peace.

Another cool thing...

put some glass beer bottles in the embers of the campfire, wait 2-3 hours then get a stick and bend and warp the glass around when its piping hot. i think this only works with the dark brown glass but i could be wrong and my memory of this is hazy obviously.

First time we set up a strobe light by the fire. Had a wild-haired, bug-eyed friend wandering around with a hatchet. Lots of fun to watch other people freak out. I shouldn't have funneled that fifth of Wild Turkey though <g>. I also like to invite someone we hate so we can f*** with their head, but I suggest saving that fun for when you're more experienced.

im probably in degenerate semi-retirement though, so im not sure i make the cut

[JaBlue]

is this similar to the flick the cigarette game my friends and I played when we were 15 and drunk?

You flick the cigarette, person tries to catch it, if they do they get a drag, if not they must flick. Burns obtained while catching flicked cigarette get extra cool points. I got a lot of those.

all the correct responses have already been taken, most notably the camping/ campire combination. there are very few things as cool as some quiet time staring into a fire with a head full of hallucinogens. also the need to stock up on beer and smokes; liqurstores, and 7 11 can be very hard to successfully navigate.

i once associated the clerks moving mouth with the music overhead and couldnt for the life of me understand why this guy was singing to me. the idea of exchanging money for goods is also kinda tricky, giving him the correct amount and such.

i like orange or grapefruit juice with shrooms, crumble them up into swallowable sizes and take em like pills, grapefruit kills all the aftertaste.

is anyone else getting butterflies from reading this? im getting all tingly and exited, "i wanna shroom"!!!

i think im gonnna have to organize a camping trip for next weekend.

We used to chew them along with a mouthful of M&M's. Chew them very, very well. Don't make your stomach try to digest them.

Outdoors always worked best for me. That's just me.

Ditto the 'be rested first' idea.

Lucky bastid. Sometimes I wish I were still young.

My roommate and his girlfriend just split 1/8 about 20 minutes ago (they made tea). Unfortunately, I have to go to bed early to catch a flight tomorrow morning...so I think tomorrow night's the night for me, once I get to the beach. Trip report to follow next week (if it is interesting). /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Have your life in order. And your responsibilities taken care of.

Comfortable surroundings. Some weed and some orange juice. A trusted friend to shroom with.

Have fun, and DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE!

My edit time is expired so I'm coming back to this statement again.

2+2 is a poker forum. Poker is a lifestyle choice popular among young men. Recreational drug use is another. It's a natural that drug issues/questions are going to arise.

Observe, though, advice like that just above. These guys aren't junkie scumbags. On the contrary, the high average intelligence on here is a big reason why I enjoy this board and OOT in particular so much.

Hey steelcmg,

Where's the trip report???

[steelcmg]

Well of course things didnt work out. 2 of the guys my cousin usually got the shrooms from got locked up. And i guess its kinda hard to find them right now so we r still looking. As soon as we find someone that has some good ones ill get back to u.

[Indiana]

Of course there is no hard scientific evidence that these drugs will make your heart explode. There is no clinical trial proving this because such a trial would be considered unethical. Same for smoking, the data is purely observational and uncontrolled. But I can tell you that my uncle died on the toilet of a homeless shelter a few years back after a lifetime of using these drugs. Oh yeah, he was only 42. My grandfather went the same way. My dad is a str8 laced guy however, never even drank a beer and he's the first man in our family in 5 generations to live over 50 yrs. I just think that drug use is very nonchalant here in OOT and nobody ponders the potential repercussions of doping.

You had better be with people that you trust because the first time somebody fucks with you you're screwed. If you have any trouble keeping them down try mixing them in with some evaporated milk (I know it's disgusting but it worked for me) or a bowl of chicken noodle soup.
They're fun but you gotta make sure that you're around cool people, preferably a sober person (babysitter) that will be able to talk you out of getting a gun and trying to rob a police station. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Set and setting are all important when doing a hallucinogenic, to keep you from having a bad trip.

Shrooms often make people really want to be outdoors and in nature. That makes for a great experience. You might feel claustrophic indoors, but you'll like being outdoors.

You should be somewhere mellow. Especially if you're not experienced with shrooms, you probably don't want to be in a jam-packed mall or anything too crammed with noise and people, or you could feel overwhelmed with the stimuli and like you need something quieter to get some relief and just mentally catch a breath. Somewhere out in the woods or something is perfect for that. You can bring your music with you.

It's not the kind of thing you want to be driving while doing, so pick a place you won't mind being in for a number of hours, and have food and drink with you etc. Nature fits the bill very well for all these things.

Apart from setting, it's set -- don't do hallucinogenics if your mind is not in a fairly cool place and you're not with fairly cool people. There's a natural human tendency to want to freak out people who are on drugs, and for a high percentage of people it's unstoppable. Make sure the friends you are with are really your friends and that you're not the kind of jackass who prefers jackass friends, or you can have your head messed up from the outside in. Make sure you don't feel particularly unhappy or fearful, or hallucinogenics may amplify it and turn it into your whole world and really overwhelm you badly with it. Be with cool people and in a cool state of mind, in a comfortable, mellow, and safe environment.

Shrooms can be very intense but a very mellow, friendly high. You're much less likely to have a bad trip on shrooms than on acid; I don't remember even hearing of anyone I knew having a truly bad trip on shrooms, though some find too much stimuli overwhelming -- like the packed mall example I mentioned -- or get a little minor (uncomfortable but nor fearful) claustrophobia.

You'll probably be in for a very good time, but you have to take set and setting seriously when you do hallucinogenics. Do them someplace you feel good in, with people you without question feel good with. You don't want some jerk trying to fry your brain or take a dump in it when it's at its most vulnerable, and it's very easy to have that happen. Those guys you always hear about leaping from their balconies because they thought they could fly probably often had people cheering them on or suggesting it.

What other drugs were they on besides shrooms? The body builds a tolerance to mushrooms pretty quickly, so you really can't do them all too often anyway. Therefore, I can't help but think they had to have been doing some other, more nefarious, drugs in the meantime...

[Indiana]

and? and ur dumb ass should think before using drugs for fun that's what. your brain is the only thing of real value that you have in this world, everything else can be taken away. Why fry it for a little fun?

Indy

Yah they were doing other drugs for sure. My uncle started sniffing glue in the 7th grade, dropped out of school and used a variety of drugs throughout life. Part of the reason that I won't even smoke weed is because of the memories of visiting my uncle in prison as a kid.

Do you drink coffee? Alcohol? Smoke? Take the occasional tranquilizer or virtually anything else? Ask the doctor for antibiotics when you should just let your cold cure itself in a couple more days? Like most people, bombard the body with far more sugar and salt than is healthy?

If so, welcome to the rest of the planet. The percentage of people who don't put some serious garbage into their body unnecessarily is vanishingly small.

That we choose to demonize some instead of others just shows that not only are we very self-indulgent, but we're total hypocrites, too.

Worse, the sloppy thinking that demonizes some drugs and foods while normalizing others of equal or worse effect helps draw people into drugs in the first place, because mixing consistent and transparent lying in with good advice makes one properly question whether any of the advice is good, and how much is ridiculously exaggerated or even an outright lie. "Just say NO" hysteria profoundly undermines the ability of any drug awareness material to work, since it simply replaces awareness with unawareness and silence. Meanwhile, kids who wonder whether they should take a drug and which one have no real guidance because the adults are congratulating themselves on their own hypocrisy and competitive one-upsmanship about who's purer than thou.

That shows how much we REALLY care about our kids -- not much at all. Shamefully little.

If we really cared, we'd give them the straight dope -- real info, not panic stories and fabrications.

And we would be examples ourselves instead of proof that we're all full of crap. If you want your kids not to take drugs, get the hell off them yourself -- dump the boozing, the caffeine, the enormous amounts of sugar, the tranquilizers, the prozac or whatever drug-of-the-month club chemical you yourself are imbibing. We've got the most incredibly drugged up society in the world, and we still have the nerve to tell our kids that marijuana has no effect on glaucoma, and will lead them to heroin?

If we're going to care about drug use, or about our kids, we have to do it for real by not being so full of sh*t and speaking plainly, not using drug issues as a proxy for societal values like conformity and willingness to imprison others.

I'm not a druggie myself, but sniffing glue and smoking weed shouldn't ever be mixed together conceptually unless you're willing to similarly bundle together drinking beer and taking PCP.

[Indiana]

I drink coffee to wake up so I can be productive. Here I am talking about using drugs to get a kick. There's no real reason to use the drug.

Well to get back on topic, they don't have shrooms at the pharmacy. My point in starting all of this was that shrooms are a relatively harmless drug if you are mentally capable of handling them to begin with. Shrooms (or weed for that matter) are not what's going to make your heart explode at 42...that's all.
