noob here Ive done some searching just a few questions
    #14254738 - 04/07/11 06:13 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

hello everyone im new to whole mushroom scene and forums in general i just have a few questions before i go on my first "journey" i know many others may have asked the same questions but i have done some searching. the only problem is that my searches turn up different answers so i figured id just join up and maybe have a few words with an "OG" in the shroom game. just a few questions:

1. Ive never done them before i got my hand on some dried ones (if that means anything)looking to do a low dose tonight to get the feel. any comments on dosage (if size/weight matters im 5'6" 125lbs.)im looking for a semi small body high maybe some visuals i am a regular cannabis smoker.

2. im kind of nervous but i know i want to do them is it a bad idea to do them when mildly nervous?

3. whats are good things to do while "enjoying the ride" Ive heard music, movies, and being out in nature?

any helpful input is greatly appreciated thanks to all who help me out im hoping to have a fun trip.

1. Body weight doesn't really matter. Can't really give dosage advice and there is no way of telling how potent the mushrooms are (besides eating them :crazy2:). Responsible users start with a low dose (as you mentioned), usually 1.75-2g is enough to estimate potency for future experiences. Mushrooms are much more about thoughts and feelings than they are visuals, I wouldn't expect much from a low dose.

2. Being mildly nervous (such as the kind you might experience before a job interview or an important exam) is okay and normal. A lot of anxiety, doubt, and uneasiness about what you are undertaking isn't good and isn't the mindset to be in when you start tripping.

3. Whatever you fancy. Music and nature are great, movies maybe no so much (IMO, at least). Look at art, contemplate existence and the universe, play with your dog, slice up an apple, look at old trees or the clouds, anything. Just go with the flow. Staying away from TV, video games, computers, and cell phones isn't a bad idea. You'll have plenty to think about if nothing else.

1. I'd suggest taking around 1 - 1.5g

2. Can be, but not really at a low dose.  Just keep your head, it's not so hard.  A good idea is to have a close friend there with you, or at least let them know that you will be tripping tonight.  Sometimes you just need someone to talk to/chill with.

3. Whatever you're feeling, man.  Relax with your favorite tunes, smoke a blunt, etc.  Nature is always awesome.  Movies will probably be boring unless its a fucking awesome one.

If you really want to get a good idea of what mushrooms are try 3.5grams. Some people like to test the waters first  and that's fine, but there's nothing wrong with just jumping in either. As long as your a reasonably well put together person you should be ok.

1. I'm pretty big (in fact most stuff I usually need more than the average person) and the first time I did shrooms I took 1.75g and was DONE. Such an amazing time... I definitely recommend only doing 1.75 to start.

2. Nervous is fine... but like the others said you don't want to do them if you're *too* anxious about it and are feeling unsure/uneasy about doing them. I've heard that some people who are worried about a bad trip have drawn a small circle on their hand as a sort of mental "panic button" that can help bring them out of a trip. Never did it, never needed it... but just a suggestion if you're worried.

3. I really enjoy solo shroom trips, but shroomins is VERY introspective and it might be good to have someone else around to talk to or at least occasionally interact with (you might not be able to at times, but that's ok, that means they're working!). Music is great, and DEFINITELY have herb on hand to smoke... you shouldn't need a lot, but smoking ALWAYS brings up my trip and has me feeling right. It's also good for the come down.

Enjoy... and I'm curious to know how your first time goes, so you should post and let us know!

BODY WEIGHT doesn't matter. I'm 210lb and 6'6. I get hit harder then my 6 foot 150lb friend. All boils down to the indivisual. OP I ate 1.5 g for my first trip and I got some visuals and a lot of mind fuck. Trips can be pretty much all good but I still find them unpredictable and random. So if you run into a rough spot don't fight it. Go with the flow accept it and it will end sooner,be easier to deal with and you'll come out of it feeling like a million bucks. Goodluck and good vibes man. Don't worry

Chemicals are working on the brain, brain size matters... So unless your last name is Einstein....

In a lot of these things, individual variations are more important than size... Like potency, stomach contents, consumption method, tolerance....

Mildly nervous is normal, you do not know what to expect... Just remember, it's a drug and it will only last for a few hours....

No it doesn't. The number of synapses are more or less the same in a 5'2" 120 lbs girl and a 6'2" 300 lbs guy. Get your facts straight. People reacting different to the same amount of mushrooms has to do with various things, but body weight isn't one of them.

I'd prob say about 1.8-2.5 grams depending on potency (ask dealer or just try to eyeball) I took 1.8g's my first time and it was perfect, I had marijuana, opiate, dxm and lsa experience though. But none of those IMO can truly prepare you for a strong shroom trip

cubensis in low doses are often confusing and i get stuck in loops.

i overcome this by taking large doses in tea form. 7+ dried grams.

though i have had awesome experiences on 2-4 grams

This is why I don't take less than 3.5 grams. A weak trip is way worse than one that's a bit more powerful than you were expecting. imo anyways.
