Welcome to ShroomThoughts!

Hello!
Planning a solo journey with APES (Albino Penis Envy Mushrooms) and seeking advice to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience. It's been over 20 years since my first mushroom trip, and my recent experiences have been a bit hit or miss:
- First reintroduction: 2.2g Golden Teachers, great visuals.
- Second time (1 week later): Similar dose, less impactful.
- Third time (5 days later): 1.5g PE, underwhelming likely due to tolerance.
- Last attempt (2 days later): 3.5g Blue Meanies + 2g PE lemon tek, decent buzz.
Last dose was last Sunday, looking to try APES tomorrow (Friday) within a 4-5 hour window. Heard mixed things about APES, from intense trips to challenging experiences at doses as low as 1.5g. I aim for a meaningful trip but prioritize safety, especially going solo.

Any tips or personal experiences with APES? Especially interested in dosage advice considering my recent usage and aiming for a balanced experience. I want to avoid wasting a trip since I am limited in time to enjoy them so I want a good dose but I also want to ensure it's positive and enjoyable and not like I am dying lol.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Friends,
I will start off by acknowledging that even various mushrooms from the same strain can affect you differently and set and setting and many other things play a part. That being said I know that Penis Envy is stronger than Blue Meanies and Blue Meanies is stronger than Golden Teachers.
The most I've done is 2.2grams of Golden Teachers and this was just about 2 weeks ago and had amazing visuals and it was a nice buzz but I am ready for a bit more but currently I am out of Golden Teachers.
I had about 1.5grams left last week so decided to take that and chill and it was a very mellow buzz with slight color changes and tracers but nothing too intense.
I do have:
- 3.5grams of Penis Envy
- 3.5grams of Blue Meanies
I was wondering what 3grams of Golden Teachers would equate to for Penis Envy and Blue Meanies and if anyone has advice which I should choose?
I will be doing it solo in my house during the day in a safe environment.
Thank you!

Hello,

I was looking to go on a trip solo tomorrow morning around 10-11am. I’m expecting it to be over around 5pm and then was heading to another couples house at around 7pm - 11pm roughly and was worried I was going to be tired so I was thinking of doing 1/4-1/2 a hit of mdma.

Would this have a positive affect and work as it’s supposed to or would it be blunted by the effects of my morning mushroom use?

Secondary question for fun: Between psilocybin, mdma, lsd - what order could you take these so you can enjoy each of them in a week without causing major issues or lack of effects.

Thank you

If you haven’t heard it!! I recommend listening and really embracing and feeling every word. I feel like shrooms give you such a beautiful perspective of music. A beautiful perspective of the world!! :) Go into the story of the artist behind these lyrics with an open mind! It’s more than okay if you don’t resonate. But I hope that you who do give it an open mind gain some wisdom from such a profound and talented entity.

With love , C

We like buy things wtf

Sitting on the artistically misplaced coffee table, I looked forward and recognized that blocking my view of a serene, empty street, was a concrete pillar. I looked again, except less intensely, and with a better social awareness to realize that on both sides of the pillar, it was half fenced and open to the eye which longed for the pitiful view. Why had I found such resonating symbolism in something as simple as sitting on balcony furniture. Both sides of the short fence balanced like my mind, and my toes curled around the edge of the cheap carpet beneath me. Focused, I recognized how my own sabotage of a view for a misguided sense of inner harmony was applicable to the sabotage I have been inflicting upon myself in such undeserving circumstances. So hard on my habits and my emotions, not even attempting to unravel them, revealing the true reason for my lingering self hatred. I can sit on this table, I thought, and pick apart those I know deeply, summarizing their sadness, their strife, their complete lack of self awareness. Is it because I don't want to look within myself, confident that the unknown abyss of my learned psyche is a door which locks behind me. I'm not any better than those I criticize.

i feel great … dassit dassal

i got 20grams yesterday and i’m about to have the best trip of my life

I’m currently in the clouds, and I realized that I suppressed a lot of my childhood and don’t actually reflect on it like I’m suppose to. I can be a funny guy and lovable person but I was raised to be a “man” it shouldn’t take drugs to be me. I like me. And I think me is a person I want to be. This goes for all of you. You need to be YOU. You are special, you are amazing. I love you. Side note, I wish I could make it rain, I love the rain 🌧

This overly nice and helpful creature I became.... As I unravel and shed more and more layers of who I thought I was, I am realizing I am a bitch. I’m not sure how much of a bitch I may actually be. I’m pretty nice. Like, overly nice. A doormat and weak for the wrong people who speak calmly, look me in the eyes and lead me to damnation. I’ve realized that being naive isn’t a conscious decision, but the result of being broken down by someone who we trusted our lives with. Like a dog - if you speak in a careful and even tone, you can say anything to the dog and it will wag its tail. But if you say nice things in a mean tone, it will growl.

There’s a big disconnect between words and actions that the whole world seems to have been aware of. There are moments where I have no idea how I’ve survived. This world...... where emphasize is put on words, yet actions are where consequences lie. Sometimes.

This past weekend I connected with someone I find to be a wonderful human; while I'm shrooms. They make me feel safe. But I feel like the experience as a whole, a gorgeous out of this world encounter with mother earth, has left me feeling like shit.

The shrooms exposed me to how I see myself. All my over thinking and I am upset that someone saw me like that. In such a raw and vulnerable space.

I've been super worried about how they see me after that experience and am just waiting for them to be like "bitch, you good." But even though that HAS happened... im still left so raw with how vulnerable I was. And I feel like I didn't offer that same space for them.

In this moment, I am guilty conscience that has found this subreddit to hopefully relate to a few people lol

I appreciate that yall even exist 🙏😌🙌

Every “word” we say is just a collection of sounds we use to label things. None of this shit means anything.

I drank lemon tek yesterday and my trip turned very philosophical, I felt like I was in a lecture with myself about the purpose of human consciousness and our very existence. If our purpose as humans is to eat, sleep, reproduce and die.. why arent we committing suicide shortly after reproducing? Sure beats waking up at 6am to work a 9-5 job right? Well the main argument i was having with my imaginary college professor self (Lol i know) Is that we humans validate our existence by setting attainable goals for ourselves and call those "our purpose" but once we reach those goals we run into an issue: we met our goal therefore we once again lack purpose and have to find new goals to which we can attribute our purpose/reason of living to. That is when the topic of religion comes in. Religion gives us unattainable goals to reach. So if we make entry to heaven for example, our purpose and goal, then this is a life long endeavor that will require no additional ultimate goals to replace it so it becomes a "permanent existence validator" or the ultimate purpose. No matter how fast and how well you chase after that goal it will elude you until the day you die. Yet you must not veer from it as for long as you live or you will not attain it. I would like to read the opinions of other redditors to see of there if there is any merit to my theory.

PS: Some of you may argue that you dont need a reason to live in the first place, well, okay then whats keeping you here dealing with the dread of self awareness and the chore of satisfying your own bodies daily needs? If you tell me that you have reproduced and your children have grown into adults and you have passed the natural selection process but are still sticking around just to marvel at nature and the things this world has to offer then that in itself is a goal. There's no escaping it. The only things fueling your desire to live is either fear of death itself OR an attainable goal you have set for your self.

Shrooms really can change how you see life. I’m 16, I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety my whole life, life to me is nothing short of dog shit. I don’t get the point to living in a world so full of hate and discrimination. So many of the people I have met in life just want to bring you down and if you don’t agree with them, you’re crazy or a loser. Shrooms rlly helped with not caring what ppl think, they’ve helped me get over my depression, and they’ve brought a whole new view in my life. Death is not a scary thing to me, it’s an exciting part of life, the mystery of death is intriguing to me. It’s got me interested in what comes next.

This made me think. Though I don’t necessarily believe this realization now, if we all had the ability to see the world this way, our cruelty would end. True or not, the only way to save those in peril is to understand that we are those beings, and by putting them in harm, we are simply harming ourselves.

I just thought of an idea I think others would enjoy and I would love to organize. What do you think of a group meditation class were people come together just 1 person or even like 10 or 20 and sit together in silent meditation for 30min or an hour. No rules just sitting quietly in meditation. Do you think people would people show up if I advertised for it? Thank you

Thoughts. Are.

Words are descriptions used to describe things.

I am describing this thought in words, with words.

What if we are all here to find purpose and not until you find the right combo of things in life do you unlock the next level.

Some of us will have soulmate and some of us are guides to help others just level up

What is time? How do we really know today is today and not just agreed idea that today is today and you just believe it?

What if we nothing really matters but the help you give others—- the rest is just to help you fit in and agree that everything is ok and it is “today” but you really know..... it doesn’t matter.

Just drank my tea at 5pm and this shit is strong af!!! LoL Ok is it just me or does anyone else get really fucking cold on shrooms? This batch hit me literally 15 minutes after I first took it. I see all kinds of patterns, colors are amazing. I’m relaxed, I have chasers, happy journey fam!

I tripped tf out yesterday and honestly I’ve never felt so happy but then i started feeling looser couldn’t stop thinking how i really wish humans could just stop. That maybe what’s going on right now is just the world trying to tell us something but it always comes down to how long the money lasts. Man i hate this world. Right now is a good time to trip. Shoutout 2020

The whole background setup becomes self- sufficient containment places that you help ferry needed supplies to others in need.

So in a couple of days I’m gonna head over to Las Vegas and it’s gonna be a long car ride and I can’t stand long car rides so I was thinking of taking like 6 or 7 grams of shrooms and just trip the whole way there but I’m no expert so I don’t know if that’s the best idea I was wondering if someone who’s done shrooms longer then me would have anything to say

And they low-key move ALL THE TIME

Her roommate really was a bitch. And life is really nothing more than a simulation of simulations consisting of manufactured manufacturence.
