Shrooms
 

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.

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

Re: Shrooms
 

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.

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

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.

Re: Shrooms
 

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.

Re: Shrooms
 

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

Re: Shrooms
 

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

Re: Shrooms
 

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.

Re: Shrooms
 

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...

Re: Shrooms
 

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

Re: Shrooms
 

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.

Only smoke weed if your 100% comfortable smoking weed. ie: If you get paranoid sometimes when you smoke it's not a good idea to do it while on hallucinogens.

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.

In general, anyone who gets paranoid while smoking weed you should probably stay away from the shrooms.

this is on my list. i heard the matrix is pretty awesome too.

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.

Ride a rollercoaster. I did the Cyclone at Coney Island tripping.

Re: Shrooms

Smoke machine, pink floyd CDs, and a strobe light or disco light ball.

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... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Shrooms
 

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.
