I wanna try mushrooms

[cidamelo]

deffpony well I don't think it's a good thing to risk your life just because some hours of fun! I've tried a lot of drugs (except heroin, crack, ecstasy) and I admit I had fun sometimes, but overall I think it's a bad thing! There're some people who can control easier his addiction, but it's not every people! And some people can be more addicted to a certain drug than other! But I don't think it's good to risk, after all chemistry is a strange thing! (my son is working in labs and always happens crazy things there ) There're a lot of things in life beside drugs like - trips, try a new hobby, a new language, a new food... you don't need drugs to have amazing experiences

 

GrandMaster Smith he was bachelor in Law, he had a son and he was a good guy, unfortunately he was travelling with us and decided to take drugs too just to see how it is, I feel blamed until today In my opinion, it has something to do with the people and the drug itself, it's all a chemistry matter... He didn't abuse drugs, he was a good guy

I have to ask if you don't mind, what kind of drugs was he taking? How did he become a hobo, do you mean he just quit schooling altogether? If so why did he quit? Was it to support a drug habit or did he have a change in mind about what he was pursuing?

 

 

I do hope you realize psychedelics have literally no risk factor towards being physically addictive, right? And has actually been shown to increase a persons well being and outlook on life, as well as actually shown in helping people drop their addictions literally overnight.

I really appreciate your concern man but I just have to disagree.

 

First of all mushrooms won't kill me. Alcohol has a better chance of that. And I don't think people need drugs to have a good experience, but I do think everyone should at least once have that experience.

 

Our lives are molded to such a narrow perspective and when you flip that perspective on its head you may see things differently for the rest of your life.

 

If I ever thought I was endanger I wouldn't do it. I will never do heroin, and I usually avoid coke.

 

Cocaine is the only drug that makes me feel like I could be addicted. So I don't do it.

 

I don't even like smoking pot. I hate the feeling of less control. But sometimes it's nice to let go and have something else take the wheel. Look out the window for once.

[FAH-Q]

Smokin', snortin', shootin', suckin', tokin', poppin', droppin'. Let's do a little dance.

 

[cidamelo]

GrandMaster Smith actually he had already superior education, he was Bachelor in Law and already working as a lawyer. He became crazy some days after, real crazy, like running naked at the streets and making poo everywhere He drank ayahuasca

Does he have any left?

[GrandMaster Smith]

I'm sorry to hear man that's quite an unheard of case to tell you the truth.

 

 

In the town I live in I would say a good 1/5th (atleast a relatively high ratio) of the people around here that I know have dabbed into shrooms or lsd. Never once have I seen or heard of anyone going absolutely nuts and running around naked and all that.

 

 

I nor anyone I know has dosed with ayahuasca, maybe he simply did way too much or you guys bought something other than what you thought. If anything that sounds more along the lines of PCP or those bath salts, something I have not and will never try.

[DeeperRed]

He drank ayahuasca

That could explain a lot. That is oral DMT infused with an MAOI to lengthy the trip. It takes some tripping experience to be able to handle that.

[cidamelo]

deffpony actually I drink alcohol is way worst than mushrooms!! But I hate every drug (except for caffeine ) I hate all kind of addictions!! And even the 'lighter' drugs can cause some problem: for example I had panic syndrome for some time, I abandoned my college because of that! And I think it was because marijuana, because after around 15 years I started to smoke it another time and I had panic syndrome again I always say the best thing is not to experiment, you never knows what can happen! Heroin isn't popular in Brazil, and cocaine I hate!! One time my husband almost died in my hands because an overdose

deffpony I don't know what happened to him. I still have contact with his son, and he said he never heard about his father again, he thinks he is dead

 

GrandMaster Smith my husband took LSD one time and he ran naked around the streets... My experiences with LSD was good, but I don't recomment to anyone

Magic Mushrooms are a fungus, so is athlete's foot and thrush... think about that next time you put a Portobello on your burger... I rest my case.

I'm sorry buddy

[cidamelo]

GrandMaster Smith bath salts seems to be really horrible, I'm thankfully in my times it didn't exist because certainly a lot of my friends would be affected!! When I was young it didn't have crack cocaine here too

deffpony thank you, it's very hard because I've lost a lot of friends to drugs At least my sons don't even drink, I'm really proud of that! I'll not be a hypocrite and say drugs were always bad to me because I had good experiences, but overall it brought me a lot of pain

[DeeperRed]

Cidamelo don't think its pretty close minded to be against drugs just because YOU have had issues with them.

 

Millions of people take various drugs everyday and are absolutely fine and live great lives. Just because some people go off the rails, have addictive personalities or little sense does not mean drugs are inherently bad. All it takes is a little control.

[cidamelo]

DeeperRed yes, this is true, but chemistry is a strange thing and almost anything can happen, so my advice is people don't use it, obviously I think this because of my experiences, I'm just giving an advice I admit now I'm very close minded in drugs, when I was young I really hate those kind of people but now I become one of them

[DeeperRed]

I understand where your coming from but always keep an open world. Offer your advice, and how they affected you but don't preach about how bad they are. Drugs can change your life for good or worse or be have no impact at all apart from fun, it all depends on the person.

[Saggy]

Eat 'em with a chocolate bar that has nuts or toffee in it. That'll help tolerate the taste (and mask the texture ) and let you chew them longer, which will help absorb the psilocybin into your bloodstream.

 

They're not all that great in my opinion. Some light visual hallucination, mostly just making colors brigther, etc. They make you laugh at pretty much anything though.

 

 

I really wouldn't recommend them for someone that doesn't like feeling out of control. Last time I tripped on shrooms we tried to put a movie on... I think it was literally hours before we even got up off the couch to look through the movies. It's like you know you wanna go do something, but you keep getting distracted, forgetting, etc.

 

 

As far as obtaining them, Google on growing mushrooms. Actually pretty easy

[cidamelo]

DeeperRed yes you're right, sorry if I was being too 'preach like', sometimes I get kind emotional but it wasn't my intention ok

[DeeperRed]

Deffpony I think acid might be easier to obtain as for shrooms you either need a grow kit or go picking in season. I only tend to do shrooms in grow season as they are readily available and free when I can bothered to pick myself. I am not sure about the seasons in your region of the world but its not until sept-nov here.

 

If you do go for some acid, I would recommend a starter dose at around 90-150ug (150 being if you want to really test the waters). I do 90ug my first time and I was pretty nervous, 2 hours in and I was laughing at my self for being so worried and instantly feel in love with it. I have been up to around 300 since which is great fun, intense but the visuals are a treat and the headspace is just sweet. Plan to hit 400ug soon then once I move out, being financially independent and have little responsibility other then for myself I am going to blast an 800ug

 

Good luck man.

[GrandMaster Smith]

DeeperRed yes you're right, sorry if I was being too 'preach like', sometimes I get kind emotional but it wasn't my intention ok

There's nothing wrong with giving your advice, it's appreciated in my pov.

 

 

If anything it gives a much larger contrast for OP to decide upon.

 

It's quite the polar opposite opinions being given in here which is really good for someone who's wanting to get a good idea on it before trying it.

[cidamelo]

GrandMaster Smith yes I also think it's good to have different opinions

[S5L3T0]

All the advice in here is great. My only suggestion is to go outdoors while your on them. I hate enclosed spaces, the sound of TV and all that stuff when im trippin hard. Just my advice, everyone truly reacts differently to shrooms. Definetely have a bag of weed while on them. Best drug combination EVER imo.

And I think deeperRed is right, acid is gonna be wayyy easier for you to get a hold of, especially if you live in a snowy area. Plus ive always thought shrooms were a little scarier than acid (IMO), so it could be a good start

[Bad Azz]

Just to had my little insight. I've done shrooms a couple of times and never had a bad experience with them and never saw a friend having a bad experience too.

 

You already have some experience with drugs, shrooms won't be no problem for you. Enjoy your trip man!

Yea my plan is to do it with my best friend at his house. He lives in a gated community, So I figured we could eat them and walk to the little park by his house, just relax.

 

I appreciate everyones input, both pro and con.

[Mister Pink]

Grandmaster Smith gave some great advice.

 

Mushrooms are so much fun. They used to sell them in the head shops here in Ireland but unfortunately got banned back in 2008. In case you are wondering, I've tried practically everything you get your hands on. The most exotic was DMT for me.

 

As soon as you start to feel the effects, everything that you were concerned about will go away. Colours and patterns will be so vibrant and apparent. You'll be thinking outside the box. You'll open a door in your mind to a humour you didn't quite know was there.

 

I've nearly got in to bad trips but turned it around because I knew what to do. I changed my pitch. I took control and made my fun. I occupied my mind with music. Well, actually I was thinking about my family and all the bad things I did in my life and I felt great shame. I knew I had to do something. I turned around to my friend and said;

"imagine you came home from and one of the rooms in your house was bombed out. Like someone blew a grenade up in there and it was all just blackened out. With the door closed from the outside it looked fine but when you opened up it was just blacked out looking and charred. He laughed in a WTF way. I laughed at his laugh. Then out other mate just laughed cause we were laughing. End of negative buzz.

 

It's important to make sure you don't bring any important possessions out with you. You'll probably root through your pockets a lot and you know the image you have in your head when you are searching for something in your pocket. You are feeling for it and it's like your mind is making a blueprint plan for what you are feeling for? You know this? Well that " imaginary blueprint" your mind creates becomes distorted. Objects may feel different in your pockets. Your sense of size and spatial awareness gets distorted. It's all fun but it's a nightmare if you a carrying some bills on ya and you keep pulling them out because they'll feel different and they might be easy to throw away. I had to keep reminding myself that I needed that paper and it was important.

 

Have a few cans of beer to relax with. After about 3 hours, you'll probably be thirsty and you would have probably preaked and will be ready for a tasty beer. It's nice to unwind with and if possible smoke as much doob as possible. It's also important to have the beer and doob as a sort of remedy. It's very assuring to know you have access to the cure. You have something to look forward to for the end of the buzz, a cure, desert, a remedy. It will put you at ease.

 

Get some music. Have some entertainment. Don't rely of the LSD to be the centre of the party. Don't rely on yourself or your own mind to be the host. Get some good music and preferably a new genre of trippy and or uplifting music to listen to. Something that keeps the trip moving forward and doesn't leave to to dwell too much in your own head. New genres of music are great because if you don't quite like it but was interested, that music will probably click with you. You will really love it and understand it. Then, when you are sober and listen to it, you'll always have this great love for it. It will remind you how great it was when you were tripping. Try it.

 

Dance. Dancing can be so beautiful whilst tripping. Just move your body in any way the music influences you. The exercise of dancings, moving your body will have a huge positive effect. Trust me.

 

Being some snacks. You'll consume a bit of energy, mentally and physically. It's great to snack just afterwards or during. You will feel peckish, I do every time. Be nice to your body and eat food. We all ate huge kebabs when we were tripping on acid. My friend didn't know how to eat it an he ate all the pita bread around it first and then he was left it just the meat, confused to f*ck.

 

I'm not going to dwell on the cons. I think if you stick to the advice you will have a f*cking ball. Only annoying things are like the feeling you have pissed yourself. I get it and my friends and other tippers I met. It's just a feeling of temperature and clothing giving you an illusion. That's all I'll say.

 

It affects all your senses. Sense of smell, touch, sound. It's beautiful. I've tripped at PsyTrance parties, I've tripped in expensive, swanky shops for rich people, festivals, parks and my city centre when it was busy. I love tripping at the PsyTrance parties because it's tripping music. I just danced and danced. Tripping at festivals is brilliant because it's like it's set up just for that. You meet and talk to other crazy people, you drink, you party and listen to good music and usually there's nice scenery and art.

 

Tripping in parks is fun but it gets a little boring after a while. Sometimes having "A Mission" is best. If you are going to the park, cool but have a game plan. Have a load of films and something comfy to back to. Something to keep the trip moving. Sometimes if you get bored or you stagnate for too long your mind will look in to itself for answers and all sorts of sh*t. That's why you need music and dancing's good.

 

If you start to feel bad. Put on an amazing choon and pull the actual sound out of song in air and throw those weird ass sounds at your mate and see if he catches that stretch synth sound you just threw. Then watch as he bundles it up and throws that weird-ass backwards guitar solo back at ya. You'll understand what I mean by this after the trip.

 

Most importantly. HAVE FUN! ENJOY! Be SAFE!

 

Some nice tracks to trip to...

 

 

 

 

 

Give this a listen when it's in full swing. It's for tripping and all the sounds will keep so occupied. It will sound so futuristic, so weird and wonderful...

Wow^ Thanks alot man.

 

Quick question, I play guitar, you think it would be cool if I jammed a bit while tripping?

[GTA-King]

Never tried shrooms myself. I've tried salvia (didn't like it). I hear being on shrooms lasts alot longer than being on salvia... so the experience is more enjoyable. One day I will try it...

 

Anyone know if it's true that it grows on cow sh*t in Florida?

You shouldn't have a problem finding some if you live in Miami.

You're very welcome.

 

Yes, play some guitar. It will be like stroking a breath of musical fresh air. Actually first time I tripped on Mexican mushrooms I bought in a porn shop here, I went to a music shop called Waltons. I picked up a random guitar and couldn't remember any songs I learned, I just strummed random chords not even to any rhythm, I just stroked chords like it was my first time hearing a guitar but I knew chords. It was amazing.

 

Have fun dude and don't forget to tell us all about it when it happens!

[HolyGrenadeFrenzy]

My advice?

 

Consider, what the ancients used it for and apply it in the proper order to the following so it is a benefit instead of a hindrance for you.

 

Accordingly, the mushroom exprience and other such experiences are the final part of the Quadrivium, after proper study of both the Trivium or Quadrivium put in proper order of thinking so that one "becomes sane" which is a state we are not born into yet can acheive, according to the Greeks, and several of esteemed associated scholars and experts on the topic.

 

Trivium+Quadrivium= The Seven Liberal Arts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, then again, what could the ancients know that we currently don't?.....Wait.....Most everything is better understood

 

The reason that I suggest this is that the reorganization of the mind is best if it becomes more ordered instead of less ordered.

 

@ the mockery that is about to ensue.
