 First time shroom trip, 3.5 grams? 
#14312876 - 04/18/11 03:27 PM (13 years, 7 months ago) |

I've seen the polls and done searches, but I still have one question.
I am worried that taking 3.5 grams on my first shroom trip will be a bit too much(as most posts suggest 2 grams as a good starting dose). But my feeling is that I can only trip on shrooms for the first time once, and I want it to be an incredible experience and I don't want to feel like it was a wasted opportunity. Would you advise taking say 2 grams, and then an hour later another 1.5 if I feel I want it? Maybe I would lemon tek the 1.5 for extra fun. The other option would be to just take the whole eighth right away and hope that I don't freak out and end up with a bad trip. If it matters I have had a few light trips on LSA before and will be tripping with a few good friends, one of whom will be sober to watch us. We will trip during the day, and plan on going hiking. I will have my iPod with Pink Floyd handy 
What are your opinions, re-dose or go all at once?

well i know a lot of people will say 1.5-2.5 is a good first time dose. but i felt the same way on my first time and i just took the whole 8th. it was magical. but hey, everyone is different. if you're sketched out about it just go for 2-2.5

Depends if you have done psychelelics before. if you never have, then I think 3.5 gms could be a bit much... If not, should be fine. What you will find, is every trip should be different, and there will be a first time for each one....

My very first time, I took half an 1/8th. I suppose that would equal something like 1.76 grams. I did not trip balls, but I still had a great time. However, I felt like I was missing out on half of the experience. It was very chill and I loved it.
Second time, I took the full 3.5 grams. It was even better and I got the entire effect. I recommend taking all 3.5 grams fo sho!!!

1-2 grams... WTF? That's not tripping! in my book that's just annoying
I know some people are more sensitive to mushrooms, and you can't know until you try them.
But I recommend 5 grams. Don't be a wimp
I know it probably goes without saying, but this is bad advice. For a first shroom trip, 5 grams will likely be too much. Having only done lsa, you will not have an idea of how the shrooms, or an intense trip will feel. Let me tell you, 5 grams will begin to tear your ego apart, and unless you are prepared, it will be terrifying.
I suggest anywhere from 2 - 3.5 grams. 2 grams is something easily manageable, and obviously, 3.5 will be intense
However, 3.5 can be slightly overwhelming. I would say go with your gut. Just remember set and setting!

go for 2 grams , wait 2 hours then have another 1 gram, hopefully you are talking about dry mushrooms aswell, just to clear things up.
but if you redose, it might last a little bit longer than 6 hours, just fyi

It sound like your recommending the "go big or go home" aspect. This concept works great when drinking with buddies, but not for tripping. That's almost like saying "Eh, 1 hit of acid?? Go for 4 your first time!!" You will likely be scared away from psychedelics for life

Do you have any benzos on hand? If so, I'd dive right in to the 3.5g experience. If not, you might want to be a bit more careful.

Thanks for the advice! I don't have any benzos, but I feel comfortable with the people I'm doing it with so I think I will just dose the full eighth.
I know that it's probably hard to explain, but why is it that you get anxious on the come up like I've heard so many people say? Like I know the drugs will affect me, and I know it will be an intense experience(I want that!) and that no matter what I can't die from it, so what specifically could I be thinking that would cause me to get scared and lead to a bad trip? I'm hoping that if I know I might be better prepared to avoid it.

I'd prefer not to say. I think I would be more likely to plant ideas in your head that help you. You'll be fine. If you've got trustworthy responsible friends around, you'll be fine. Just don't worry about a bad trip, and probably won't have one. Everything will be normal in the morning, no matter what you may think at the time.

it might make you feel just darned strange, and you think you might have done something wrong, thats just something i have been told, i never have really freaked out myself,but have tripped and thought about my best friend who passed away about a year ago and it turned for the worse of times pretty quickly.
I went from laughing my ass of, to complete loss of energy and being unable to speak, but i wasn't freaking out or scared or worried anything like that at all, all I thought was fuck this I need some sleep i should go home now...

The thing you want to avoid is thinking "Oh god, I hope this trip does not turn bad!!" Once you get the scared mindset that things will turn wrong, you will focus on the fear. Once you focus on that fear, then hold on buddy, because it will be a long while until you come to your senses. Just relax your mind, have a few smokes, chill and listen to music, and laugh with your buddies. You will be fine man. I am excited to see the outcome of this though, so please post your experience on here. Good luck, and welcome to the world of mushies!

Many times I'll notice myself getting anxious during my come-up, even though i'm pretty experienced. I write it off as excitement. I get butterflies because I know I'm in for a great time. And because each time I trip, it's something different. When it comes to drinking or smoking weed, you know what to expect. You know it's going to be textbook for the most part.
But with psychedelics, you will experience something different almost every time, so it's easy to get anxious wondering what each new time will bring.
And you can avoid a bad trip by trying not to avoid it. I know that sounds backwards, but worrying about a bad trip is only going to make things worse. Focus on the excitement you know you're about to feel.
I went through a period where I would have a bad trip every time, because I was expecting it. I had one bad trip, and it started a chain reaction, because I was focusing on not having one the next time around. Just try to relax and you WILL have a good time.

My first time was an eighth and it wasn't too intense. I had a safe environment in my room and was alone and took in the whole experience. If you are frightened by the idea of mushrooms then you aren't ready, prepare for this first trip because you only get one. Go with the flow, breathe, listen to some music laying down. Don't be frightened by the time dilation and realize that you took a drug that alters your perception of reality temporarily. Don't run from your thoughts and accept everything to avoid the mindfuck. Read up about what to expect, you'll be fine if your willing to go with the flow.

I recently went on my first trip this weekend, and I went for the whole 3.5 grams. I have to say, I had the best and worst experiences of my life all in one session. I did pretty much months of research and planning, and knew what was happening to me as it happened. Nothing can prepare you to deal with a bad trip like the one that happened to me. fortunately, it wasn't all bad.
All in all I would recommend doing the whole thing. I had a bad trip because I went with two friends, and one backed out at the last second, and spent part of the trip messing with us (like he promised not to...), and he hid from us and I got very afraid, because his mom was picking us up, and we were in the middle of the Santa Cruz mountains. Point is, be somewhere safe, familiar, and comfortable and do the whole thing. Despite having a most horrifying experience for part of it, I still would have done it again. It's a magical experience.
Good vibes to you, and we'll see you on the other side
