I just recently started taking shrooms. Last weekend I had my fourth trip. In order, I used: 1st time (2g of camboja), 2nd time (4g of camboja), 3nd time (1g of camboja), 4th time (3g of albino)
I'm now planning on using 3g of albino again tomorrow (liked the trip, the visuals, the feelings, everything, even more than camboja). But yesterday I found out about lemon tekking and it interested me, cause I dont like the taste of shrooms neither the waiting until it starts to hit in a noticeable level, and I'm thinking about doing it.
As I just got fired and cannot afford frequent trips (neither do I want to take them so often), I was wondering if lemon tekking increases the trip overall, because I was thinking about dividing the dose into 2g tomorrow (no lemon tekking) and 1g some other day (with lemon tekking).
When I tried 1g and 2g, it felt good, but not as good as 3g. I also think albino has a more intense feeling and trip, so I was wondering if I take 2g of albino without lemon tekking it will be more intense than 2g of camboja without lemon tekking and if I take 1g of albino with lemon tekking it will be more intense than 1g of camboja without lemon tekking.
Shrooms veterans, help me!
Harvested about 2/3 this morning. The rest should be ready this evening when I get home. Can’t believe what I got here. First time grower, (have had plenty of failure). Glad I figured it out. Stay up!
I’m going camping in a couple weeks with friends of mine and i’m gna take shrooms for the first time!
also please drop any tips/advice u think i should know for my first time!!
I've used truffles many times and still love the experience, but recently my friend got his hands on shrooms apparently he took only 5g and it was the strongest trip he has ever experienced, I usually take about 15-20g of truffles and the trip is pretty strong but I really want to see what the difference is anyone could comment? also what's the best way to acquire them grow myself or just order of black market??
TL;DR: I took 7g of shrooms to experience an ego death. This time was different—I feel reborn.
I've been using 3g of Psilocybin every six months for five years. I've been sober from hard drugs for ten years. Marijuana comes and goes, but shrooms have been a consistent tool for my mental health. Tonight, I decided it was time for an ego death. I took 7g and was ready to face my demons.
Instead, I had a night full of positive thoughts. For the first time in my life, I have nothing to worry about—no major concerns. I'm about to move and change careers, and I recently ended a relationship, but none of that is causing me stress.
Usually, shrooms help me reassess my life and figure out where I'm going wrong. This time, there was nothing to fix. I finally know I'm doing everything right. The shrooms confirmed this for me.
Has anyone else ever experienced this? A shroom trip that reaffirmed you're on the right path, that you're doing what you're supposed to do?
Everything is going to be okay.
You got this.
Does anyone here have experience with these kind of pills? I wanted to try mushrooms for the first time and was wondering if this would be a good start?
This ones a bit iffy, and I'm very new to the scene so I'm trying to learn some do's and don'ts.
I recently bought a grow kit online, in a 1200ml tub that gave a pretty decent yield and I wanted to start attempting to use monotubs. I bought two tubs and have made two at home, and gathered some more substrate. When I was reinvigorating my kit for a second flush, I had an idea to essentially split the block in half and mix with some substrate in the new tubs to see if they would colonise.
Has anyone ever done something like this with success or would I be completely wasting a perfectly colonised tub which can just give a second flush. The impatient part of me doesn't want to wait for spores to arrive lol
So I just ordered some truffles, and now I’m wondering if there’s a big difference compared to shrooms. I’ve had a few shroom trips and quite a lot of acid trips, so I’m used to tripping, but I’ve never tried truffles before, and I have some questions.
Questions:
is it okay to use a bunsen burner inside of my still air box?
or is that dangerous?
I just found a bar of shrooms I thought Id lost from early this year. What’s the shelf life of these things if kept unopened in a dark, dry place?
I struggle with some pretty intense OCD and anxiety, as well as ADHD, and I take Prozac and Wellbutrin to treat these. I've been curious about how this would impact a potential shroom experience... I did some research here, but it left me feeling overwhelmed, confused, and even a little scared. My questions are:
Will I experience anything on shrooms if I'm on Prozac and Wellbutrin? How much of the shrooms will I feel?
Is it true that taking SSRIs and shrooms at the same time can cause serotonin syndrome? Will it cause any other harmful effects?
Would someone with anxiety, OCD, and ADHD be likely to have a good trip?
Thank you for reading, and thank you to anyone who responds!!
Hi y’all, I’ve done shrooms maybe 10 times in my life, and just recently I had my first bad trip.
The bad trip occurred after I had felt sober (after a few hours of taking a little bit of shrooms) so I took a little bit more to try to maintain my high, I then had a drink, but one drink led to another and once I became drunk I ate more shrooms.. then more… then more. I didn’t know I was in a bad trip until everything was in a loop. The same things kept happening over and over again, and I had the same conversation with my sister over and over for what felt like eternity, eventually I realized this wasn’t normal and freaked out. Long story short, I ended up convinced that I was dead and in hell. A couple of months later I decided to try one more time, but took half of the amount I usually took (all the times I had good highs) but almost immediately after taking them I entered a bad trip. Why is this? I wasn’t nervous about it or in a bad head space until it started and I understand that worrying about it can cause it to happen, but I barely took any at all. Is there a scientific reason? Somebody told me that my brain/body was trying to match the high I last experienced, saying that that’s why only taking a little made me so high (I was hallucinating badly). I threw up for hours only 30 minutes after taking them.
Somebody help me out here please😩
I took 8 pieces of a Polka Dot bar over an hour ago, but I’m not feeling much yet just slight tingles and a rise in body temperature. I checked the box for authenticity, and it seemed legit. The packaging was super high quality, though I know that probably doesn’t guarantee anything.
Any advice?
Let me know if you want further tweaks!
It started out really great, the lemontek was amazing, I ate the leftovers instead of straining it because I actually like the taste of mushrooms (in general) mixed with honey and lemon it was actually quite delicious.
The first stage it felt like a low dose of DMT, everything was looking sharp and clean. No blurs or smudges anymore.
At a point I started drifting deeper and deeper and the voice of my girlfriend came through and I replied to her, a general "how you feeling question and update"
At that point I was still feeling amazing and we switched out seating that she could sit with me and that felt amazing, I actually felt her love for me drive away anxiety and I felt really safe.
And I closed my eyes, the closed eye visuals where amazing, I was submerged in black and purple but it felt like I was getting hypnotised into a bad trip, I opened my eyes and saw my girlfriend and immediately felt safe again, closing my eyes again to discover what the fuck was going on in there and I was getting anxious all the time because I actually started feeling bad when closing my eyes.
At the end I was questioning why I was even alive, why we are conscious and why I feel so distant from people in general
Hi, I've never been on this sub before as I've never done shrooms but last night my boyfriend had a really bad trip. He's done psychedelics for ages, mainly acid but shrooms as well, but this was the highest dose of shrooms he had ever done (9 grams). His plan was to take 2 tabs of acid with the shrooms as well but he swallowed them instead of leaving them in his mouth because he couldn't feel his mouth, so I guess that's good. Unfortunately he had also drank alcohol and smoked weed right before taking the shrooms. I had no idea he was gonna take them so shortly after smoking and drinking but he started tripping within 10 minutes of taking them which was already unusual because it was meant to take 40 minutes. We were with a big group of friends and we had been hanging out for hours so he wasn't alone, his best friend was also doing the shrooms with him. I won't go into the details of what happened because i reckon it's personal but it was a very very bad trip, I think he was simultaneously having a panic attack and/or a mental breakdown. I sat with him and helped him remember to breathe and listened to him speaking for around an hour before I called my dad to pick us up. I took him back to my house and he was incredibly confused and scared the whole time, it was the first time I've seen him crying. He became much more relaxed when we got to my bedroom because it was a more comfortable and familiar environment and I continued to talk to him until he decided to go to sleep. He seemed much happier when we were just alone in my room, which I was really glad for, and we slept until 2pm the next day (we were exhausted). Today he's feeling worried and sad because he doesn't want to do drugs again but he doesn't know what to do with himself without them. He told me he felt like his life was falling apart and he feels empty, and I want to help him. I know bad trips fuck you up for a while and he already had mental health issues to begin with but since I've never done shrooms I have no personal experience to draw from. Any sort of advice is appreciated, even just sharing personal experience if you have had something similar.
Swim tried shoebox and also a 16qt monotube. Thinking of going bigger. Will a bigger tube hold moisture better and get bigger fruits. Is that true? Space is an issue so don't wanna get huge tub unless there are benefits.
I recently tried 3.5g of PE with the lemon tek method for the first time. Now, I’m thinking of using 7g. If I fill a mason jar halfway with freshly squeezed lemon juice and add 7g of PE, will that make the trip more intense or longer? Also, does the amount of lemon juice you use affect the trip, or is it just about the amount of PE?
I've read SSRIs can make the affects less and I'm about to do my first trip. I'm on an extremely low dose of Lexapro though. How much will this affect tolerance?
So this is about a trip I had a little over 2 weeks ago that didn’t go how I wanted it to. I had tried mushroom gummies in the past (which I’m sure were research chemicals) and I felt nothing, I few faint moving visuals if I focused hard enough, and I wanted to try the actual dried fruit itself to see if there was a difference. The first dose I did was 2 grams of APE. This was pretty good for me. It made my mood go way up, saw a few fun visuals but nothing overwhelming. Stupidly, I wanted more. The next day I took the rest of what I had left, which was about 6 grams, and for the first few hours I was loving life. I was so energetic, the visuals were fun and controllable, and it felt like the other day just a little stronger. I thought to myself that the mushrooms weren’t hitting hard enough though, and that I wanted to experience something crazy, so I smoked a bowl and was immediately blasted into a different dimension. Like when I say I was seeing the most insane visuals I really was. The problem was not when I was up doing stuff, it was when I tried to go to bed and calm down for the night. My mind was already cycling through so many thoughts, but when I tried to go to bed I swear it felt like my thoughts were speaking to me directly. It was overwhelming and I honestly thought I might have put myself into psychosis, because my brain was fucked and if I closed my eyes I was sent into spiraling infinity, and eyes open everything was melting. My perception of time was absolutely fucked, so I thought it was never going to end. I thought I was going to be trapped in slow moving time forever, and I almost panicked until I realized that it would end and I calmed down. I didn’t sleep that entire night though, as I felt the most extreme feelings on my body I ever have. I couldn’t feel anything besides my head for a while and I felt like I couldnt move. I also felt warm, very nice and cozily warm, which was nice in this slew of awful feelings. Idk if that was my anxiety or what kicking in, but most of this experience sucked. I remember going back and forth to the bathroom I don’t even know how many times thinking J was gonna pee my pants, throw up, or idek. Once it was finally over around 8 hours later, i reflected on my experience and realized I gained nothing from this. My intent was to ease my anxieties about my future, and I was at my home, but I didn’t achieve that. I was stupid and took too much and then smoked too much and sent myself spiraling through space. It was honestly the scariest thing I have ever been through and it makes me hesitant to try mushrooms ever again. My family has a history of bipolar disorder and my grandmother is going through the early stages of dementia, so doing anything that might speed up the release of that is off the table. I respect mushrooms and all the good they can do, but I messed it up for myself and should probably stay away. TLDR; Ate too much APE and smoked, thought I was gonna be trapped in a time warp
Felt it was necessary to prune these guys from my fruiting blocks. Like, a 100 tiny fruits forming beneath them. I'm not prepared to dehydrate, so I was just going to eat them.
Took 5,4g shrooms a days ago and on the comedown I felt empty but in like a peaceful and happy way, I just stared at ceiling in silence for like 3 hours. That morning I Went on a walk in the forest and I was just really happy, like I had some weight lifted off my shoulders. Just woke up and went to school, feels like I never even tripped. I’ve had this similar experience of feeling like I finally got it many times just for that feeling to quickly fade away. I know that psychodelics aren’t a quick and magical way to fix your life but I still feel frustrated by the fact that I feel like I’m the only one with this problem
When i take shrooms and lay down in a park and look at the trees or whatever i see so much shit going on and things are moving, patterns are appearing, colours are appearing etc. But if i walk round grab a drink with my friend, chat, do activities, i dont experience much visual just that normal in head highness and for me feeling insecure. Taking 2.3 everytime + these are spaced out so it’s not a tolerance thing.
Is this normal?
been wanting to try it and curious to anyone else on how their trip went while being in vr
