First trip checklist
    #14287208 - 04/13/11 10:35 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hello, Shroomery.
Long time lurker here.  Been posting a wee bit, but been doing my research, so I'm definitely ready for this.

I am planning on taking my first trip this weekend.  I'm going with two of my friends, and we're going to a state park in the mountains (it's a closed section of the park that isn't ever monitored because California doesn't have the money to do so).

So the hardest part was obtaining the mushrooms.  I've had multiple instances over the past year and a half where we almost got them.  Needless to say, whenever we had the opportunity to do them, we couldn't get them.  Now we have 1/8th for each of us, and I plan on taking a half for my first time, and I'm not sure if they plan on taking the whole thing or half.  Regardless, I want to start with a low dose because I'm about 130 pounds.  We've got a good crop of cubensis heads and stems.  We plan on getting a ride to the park and arrive at about 11 in the morning.  We will have to call to get picked up later.  Point is, we won't be driving ourselves.

The question is, if you were in this situation, what would be your checklist of things to bring?  Obviously lots of water, and some food, but what do you recommend?  What would be your "must have" list, and what would you recommend personally that isn't a necessity?  I was thinking walkie talkies would be nice, in case we get separated.  We'll all be able to bring small backpacks of stuff, and the weather should be a nice dry 65-70 degrees.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.  Like I said, I've been doing my homework and have read a lot of things already, but I want to know what you personally would recommend to a first timer.  It's also worth mentioning that I'll be taking the other half of the eighth at a later date, and I plan on doing it alone, at home in order to have a peaceful, introspective experience.

You guys should plan to stick together and perhaps bring a small towel in case your hands get dirty or whatever. Consider taking the full eighth. And... bring some chill tunes!

:whathesaid: Make sure you bring some music. Maybe a small battery powered ipod dock or something. Also, I would recommend bringing a sketch pad. Whenever I trip outside, I love to draw the things I see. I'm not even an artist really, but I always shock myself at the stuff I manage to create whilst tripping.

Sketchpad is a good idea.  I was most definitely going to bring a very small notepad to write stuff down that I feel should be written down.

And the whole 1/8th?  Keep in mind we won't have a sitter with us, and I may be the only one of us taking the smaller dose.  Do you recommend having all three of us on that much?  I guess it's hard to say how it'll affect us, but the best I can give is my weight, which I gave.  I am fairly lightweight, so I was thinking perhaps a smaller dose would be better.  I'm open to suggestions though.  I want it to be good, for sure, but I also want to stay safe and not get lost.

I would not recommend taking the whole 1/8th your first time. It might be a tad overwhelming. I think you would have a really good time with half of it, or maybe 2 grams to up it a little.

Take an eighth your first time. You won't regret it.

1/8th will be a great first dose.

Edit: Like the other guy said, it may be a little overwhelming but IMO it's better to no underdo it on your first time. You'll be fine.

Hey man to be honest if you only eat half an eighth Youll only be consuming 1.75 grams... And thats just playing with the stuff man... Just being straight up, my first trip i consumed 5.5grams... Twice as much as what you said you were going to take... Take the whole eighth my friend it'll be worth it... I promise... And your night will be unremarkable... On the other hand, me personally, I would just bring some snacks, weed, and water... But thats just me... Just take the whole thing man dont miss out on what'll be wanna the best experiences in life!                                      Stony

Definitely will. Haven't had the chance to do acid or shrooms in a good bit, but I've been getting into aya lately, and its been giving me some really amazing visuals.

I had planned on drawing during my trip today, but I took too much and ended up not being able to move. haha

We may also bring some weed to smoke as well.  Recommendations on when to smoke that, if at all?

I've heard conflicting opinions on this.  It's always either take 2 grams, or take the whole 1/8th.  I feel very mentally prepared for this; at least as prepared as you can get without having done it.  I can't say whether I would be prepared for the whole 1/8th, for obvious reasons.  Just want to get opinions of people.

Thanks for the responses, by the way.  It's great to get the opinions of the community for my specific circumstance.

On second thought, these guys might be right. If you're out in the woods with nothing to worry about, the 1/8th might not be too bad an idea. I have officially changed my stance to "go for it"

Hahahahahaha If you were thinking of what I am now thinking of, that was definitely not what I was trying to say. Heh heh. Not a bad idea though :wink: jk
But, back on the main topic, try to find a trip sitter. Assuming you know what you're doing, the full 8th is something you will not regret. :grin:

The weed would be great to smoke the whole trip my friend... And seriously you will not regret taking the whole eighth...

Hmm.  Well, it is quite tempting to just take the whole thing. I think I'll go for it.:mushroom2:  I'm curious to hear from somebody who recommends taking half of it, though.  Anybody?

If you're going to smoke, smoke at maybe 3/4 of the trip through.
