The Great Mushrooms Poll: Shroom Secrets Revealed!
    #3418807 - 11/28/04 08:07 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

If you are looking for real-life info on mushrooms, this thread's the place to be! Here you'll find many of your questions answered by the Shroomery Community, and if you're a Mushroom tripper then by all means take the questionnaire and add to our knowledge


Far too few people visit the Polls Forum so since this is Trip Tips I decided this is the place to lay this questionnaire on all of you. In two posts you'll get some of the most frequently asked questions as a clickable poll so you can answer and look for answers in a jiffy.

The best-known shroom is the Cubie (Psilocybe cubensis or "Golden Top") and it's the mushroom tripped on in 4/5 trips. If you buy mushrooms, they are most likely Cubies.
Below is a clickable pic of how a baggie of dried Cubies may look:



Most mushroom people have got experience with it, so I'll use the Cubie as the gold standard in the dosage questions.

Please do not give bogus answers, it's an anonymous poll, you can see the scores without voting by clicking the line at the bottom of that questionnaire. I will post the poll in 2 installments so don't forget to vote in the second part too!

So to all you Mushroom Trippers out there, here is..


THE GREAT MUSHROOMS POLL



Update: I'm amazed how we got to over 90 responders in a mere three days :laugh: As things are looking now I'm going to write a paper around it because the information given by you all is very valuable to psychedelic studies. Please answer as many questions you can and do it truthfully. Looks like the Shroomery is going to produce it's first sci PDF! Thank you all and please vote if you got information to share about your own use.

Both tripping during the day and during the night are nice.

I like to start the trip in the evening, see the sun set, and come down at night.

Aaaah look at those numbers pouring in :heart:
There are some very clear patterns already and quite some surprises (as many trip indoors as in nature and nighttripping is preferred 2:1 while 12:0 like closed-eyes/darkness visuals) emerging. Please don't forget to vote for the second block!

Personally I like to trip in the afternoons when I'm going solo, and the evening + night when I trip in groups.
Best trip: take first mushrooms at sunset, trip (and boost) on a starlit moonless cool summer night until sunrise. Cosmic... :smirk:

excellent poll, i enjoyed that very much.

to everybody out there, try a trip at the crack of dawn. wake up at like 6 am and ingest the mushrooms and head out to watch the sunrise and the waking of the world from a mountain or something. best few hours of my life, best afterglow ever.

*nods*
It actually is as serious a poll entry as the rest. If you squirt mushroom juice up your anus as an enema/clysma you will trip. There was a tek about that which was genuine. I find it hard to believe that 19% though! Ah the steady influx of votes will reveal the truth. If we get 40 voters oddnesses will smoothen out and it'll start to become statistically sound.

I probably sound ignorant but why would someone bother doing that when it is so much easier to just eat them?

Lots of reasons!

Some people do weird stuff to see if it can be done. An example would be me. I have snorted weed-crumbs to see if the THC would be absorbed intranasally like the Discovery Channel said about cannabis-based Zulu War Snuff.
I wanted to see if that medicine man was full of it :grin:
Naturally he wasn't: I got very high but ofcourse never repeated.

Other people do weird stuff to see if and how it gets them where they want to be. An example would be Columbus who sought the East Indies but found the Americas as a side-effect of going West instead of East.
After all: the effect might be unique or stronger, thus cheaper achieved, and fasting would be unneeded.

Other people just like sticking stuff up their arse :evil:


Through these intrepid adventurers we know that you can put an Ecstasy tab in a syringe:sad:, DMT can be vaporized instead of injected :thumbup: and the prostate can best be massaged from the inside :eek:

The whole psylocibe-anal-injection, while a little out there sounding... I do believe. While not having done it myself, I did witness a friend inject meth into his (anon) arm with a mixture of c0ke, and while the effect was instantanious, the sickening feeling that attached itself made it seem hardly worth it from what I could tell. I don't disapprove injection/enema... but I would recommend caution considering the direct-effect. Some drugs are enjoyed due to the lasting effects given.

For the record:

Street Injection is jabbing a needle into your flesh and introducing dangerous contaminants into your system.
It's very dangerous.

Enema is squirting a liquid into your butthole and holding it for 10-30min before pooping it out.
It's very odd, but not dangerous per say.

Please, not another anus debate :rolleyes:
