Doing Shrooms. Advice?

Yeah man, I once tried to drink an entire bottle of robotussin. I heard that you trip out like crazy.

I threw up like crazy. Robotussin tastes even worse coming back out.

I still got a little bit of a buzz though. No talking to walls, or seeing crazy colors or anything. In fact, I really didn’t see what all the fuss was about. I just felt drowsy and kind of itchy.

Eating dried shroom will cause a longer duration trip as your guts first have to hydrate the shrooms to begin breaking them down and processing the psylocybin. This is not good, if you are not enjoying your trip.

My ‘advice’ (other than not doing it) would be to get about 30-40 small, fresh shrooms, and boil them up in a cupful of water and a chicken stock cube.

Simmer for about 10 minutes, allow to cool a little and then drink on an empty stomach.

If the shrooms are not fresh, do this anyway with the dried ones, to extract the active ingredient. Do not consume the actual mushrooms unless you want a longer trip. Actually, boiling them in this way does seem to do a good job of removing the psylocybin from the flesh of the fungi.

The effects of this liquid brew will hit you in about 20-30 minutes and it will be a fairly abrupt comeup. However, it will be purged from your system enough that you feel 95% normal in about 2 hours. No extended period wondering why the fuck you took halucinogens.

DO NOT do over 60. I once did 100 with a friend. They were picked off my mothers’ garden and went straight into the pan and then straight down out throats.

45 minutes (or there abouts, lol) later, we were both sat on the couch, with a duvet over us, holding hands, rocking back and forth, chanting “We’ll be alright. we’ll be alright”. Needless to say, if my mother had returned early, we would both have been in an ambulance ASAP. Funny now but not funny at the time.

Finally, this should go without saying really, but as it’s your forst time, try not to pollute the experience with alcohol or cannabis. Once you come down, a spliff might help you to chill but don’t do it until you are sure you are down.

This is just my opinion of course :wink:

I find that counting the caps isn’t terribly accurate, there is a fair amount of variation in cap size (at least where I live).

A first-timer with no hallucinogen experience should probably take one sixteenth of an ounce. An eighth will be a crazy trip. More than an eighth plus orange juice will leave you facedown, drooling into the carpet.

The tea seems like a good idea, but I’ve never tried it. When you eat the dried fungus, you tend to have multiple ‘peaks’, between which you will may feel almost normal, but be totally unable to communicate with non-trippy people.

Oh damn. Thanks for the in depth description Bushy. I can’t even imagine how bad it was that you had to cover your heads up with a blanket though, LOL.

Hide the shrooms and pretend like you used them. Later, sell them back to your friends so they can continue to fuck up their lives and so you can make some cash

I had a cap and two stems my first trip. It was definitely an experience. I would suggest you have at least one person who isn’t tripping with you to confirm the trip has started. i did mine in a state park and the tree limbs looked like they were moving and I just blew it off as the wind but, my non-tripping friend informed me the trees were perfectly still. The goodness ensued from then on. I would also suggest go to an open space where there are trees, grass, and partly cloudy skies. I have never seen a more perfect sunset then when I was on shrooms. And at night the sky looked like a perfect ocean, with ripples and all.

Look up shroom tea…

Eat alot…

Some people trip others laugh their ass of just looking at others on it.

I would enroll in college and do it on halloween to make the most out of it.

How are they fucking up their lives? How would he be making cash if he bought the shrooms of his friends and then sold them back the same shrooms?

I’ve done shrooms 4 times and only 2 times it has worked. My mistakes in being I ate to much food before eating them, and then not eating enough shrooms. The first time of not eating enough was a half 1/8…not enough for me I guess(I’m 6’0, 180). The second time was in amsterdam and I had eaten to much for breakfast. I recommend no more than a sandwich before you do them and I recommend a full 1/8…

But if you want a hell of a trip, have a gallon of Orange Juice for you and all your friends to share throughout the trip and take some vitamin C pills. I did this last time and had the best time ever.

This is just from my experience of course, so take what you think is worthwhile to your trip…

Looks like this place is starting to be overrun by hippies.

lol

  1. Eat far away from taking the 'shrooms.

  2. Set and setting are everything.

By set, I mean mindset. Try to do it in a peaceful state of mind. Don’t do it if you have some BIG problem going on, i.e. breakup, financial problems, did poorly on exam.
Many people also have a purpose for wanting to trip. Focus on that, if you have such a purpose.

By setting, I mean the environment around you, people, etc:

Make sure you are in a comfortable situation. Best to take it the first time with somebody you trust WHO IS NOT GOING TO TRIP BUT WHO HAS EXPERIENCE TRIPPING. In any case, don’t take it at a loud party and don’t take it around strangers or people who are likely to “fuck with your head”.

Listen to the music that you like. Be in a physical space that you find enjoyable. If you like nature, all the better, do it outside. If not, find some place that you do like.

  1. Go to the vaults over at erowid.org and read some trip experiences, if you feel so inclined.

Hey Iron Dwarf, McCain can’t raise his arm that high.

Alright I’ve done shrooms a couple times. First time was on a morning where my friend came over to my house like “yo man I got some gold shrooms” I was just likes lets eat them all now!

I didn’t feel shit until I actually started walking up to my school. As soon as I opened up the door. It hit me and insanity began to ensue. Sounded like every person was whispering my name real fast and knew I was trippin’.

First class was my science class and I went through 2-3 bottles of oj during those 45 minutes. Saw posters of the earth beginning to contort and the water moving on them while my teachers voiced changed from soft to real deep. I was “attempting” to write my notes, but my pen exploded with ink before my eyes, pooling on my desk then dribbling off the sides like a waterfall.

I asked my friend what he saw and he said “I closed my eyes and I saw dinosaurs” rofl.

So my advice is don’t do them before school, cause I was an idiot back them lol.

Find a nice quiet park, chill with laid back people. Don’t stay cooped up somewhere, gets boring quick. Maybe watch a trippy movie like across the univers or yellow submarine. Then go outside and explore.

I made a tea out of some and ate about a quarter worth one time by myself. I tripped so bad I wanted it to stop after 4 hours of an all out peaked full intensity hallucinatory matrix like voyage. Where I saw napkin-like pieces falling from above me and a vortex tunnel opening up in my ceiling on some Donnie Darko time travel shit. Till this day I have yet to experience anything that crazy.

Okay guys. I’ve smoked weed a couple times, nothing crazy. I hate drinking heavily anymore, in fact I haven’t drank to get drunk, or just drank in general for almost 8 months, but I’m gonna try some shrooms out this friday probably. I heard it can be crazy fun or crazy fucking scary. Gimme some advice on how to have a good trip and what I can expect![/quote]

I dont know whats been said ,I haven tread the responses yet and this is the first Itime I visited this little gem of a thread.

you can expect this in order.

eat
puke
get dizzy
puke more
still dizzy
puke more
sleep
wake up feeling like a truck hit you with a fuzzy memory of the puking and the dizziness

think its cool so you go get more and do it all over again next day.

Keep in mind that what you’re doing is poisoning yourself, the feeling…it makes sense why it’s called a trip. If it’s your first time, a sixteenth is the recommended dosage. I’m pretty sure if I’d tried an eighth my first time it would’ve been bad. If I were you, I’d make sure I was somewhere comfortable, with no possibility of your shenanigans being caught by someone who cares, have some good music, and some solid friends. Some people get the shits, some people puke (you’re poisoning yourself), and I’ve even heard of the puke coming up red(it’s not supposed to be blood, erowid.com, as entheogens mentioned, is definitely worth looking over).

Just remember, it’s only a temporary trip and you will be fine later. Mushrooms are not going to kill you, but you gotta stay calm and not do anything too stupid.

You sound like a complete dumbass. Normally I would say don’t take them. However, in the interest in a better gene pool, I am requesting that, instead of shrooms, you just drink some Drano. I heard it provides some wicked cool hallucinations too.

Spot on…trip with people you know and enjoy being around, and I would also have one person not tripping that you would consider a close friend.

I have only done them a couple of times. Once I did some in Bali, and my gf and I had to retire to our hotel room, they came on so strong. I looked at her and she turned into a beetle. It was like the Naked Lunch. Then I was lying on the bed and my arms and legs went straight up towards the ceiling. I told my gf she was a beetle and then she looked in the mirror and she saw it too. Then the snakes appeared…

Sounds like someone is a keyboard warrior. You don’t know me nor do I know you. I can tell you I’m far from a dumbass and can guarantee that I am far from the type of person you think I am. I love how people come on here thinking they’re hard asses swingin’ their dicks like they are the king of the world. Go somewhere other than here. Thanks.

I did them one time. I have friends who have taken them plenty. I’m not going to comment on wether or not I think its a good idea because who am I to judge your lifestyle choices.

First and foremost, you are going to TRIP OUT. You will see things that aren’t there and things that are there are going to be warped depending on how your brain processes things. You are going to make weird connections to things around you that you might not think about while off of them. Be ready for all of this.

I reccomend a 1/16. An 1/8 is too much, especially your first time.

Who you do this with and the people you are around are going to matter alot. It will make or break your experience. If you are taking them with people who you know or even think might start messing with you mid trip, do not do it with them or be around them. It will produce bad results.

It is best to have someone sober or not on shrooms with you, this way if you start to have a bad trip, they can comfort you and talk you out of it.

Two friends took an 1/8 one time. They were having a blast hanging out with a few people who were also on shrooms. The other people left and went back to their house down the street. Being alone sent them into a bad trip where they layed on couches in a room unable to move.

This stuff is no joke and its illegal for a reason. Please use responsibly. Don’t drive, do dangerous things, or do it in a public place.
