My first trip is coming up, advice?
    #14317208 - 04/19/11 12:43 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Hey everyone, I'm a 26 year old male with little drug background history. I smoke pot everyday or at least most days and this started a few weeks back before this i smoked maybe once a year for introspective reasons. I've also done cocaine. That is as far as my drug experiences go.

I've had an interest in the benefits of hallucinogens since I first smoked pot, be it spiritually or otherwise I have a strong draw towards these things. I never ended up doing any due to my fear of HPPD, and having convinced myself i had it after smoking pot.

I've decided recently that HPPD isn't as common as some would like you to believe, and it's mostly people just seeing things they haven't noticed before. As a side note, I believe it to be a form of PTSD. I know some people don't have "bad trips" per say before supposedly acquiring this disorder, but it is entirely possible to have your subconscious experience something that you aren't aware of and have an unknown bad trip.

I've weighed the pros and cons and find any of these symptoms to be worth it in the long run.

So after ignoring my compelling interest in psychedelics for nearly 10 years. I'm ready to finally take the trip.

I am a firm believer in the healing power of these drugs, and though my interest is mainly spiritual, I'm also interested in facing some of my problems head on. My OCD and Depression and Anxiety to name a few.

In an effort to educate myself, as I do with any drug I consider doing. Ive read countess trip reports and ingesting all the information i can find on the internet.

It seems that I have perhaps read too many bad trip reports in an effort to figure out what to expect in case one happens.

This has turned a positive outlook on the drug to a negative one with fear of a bad trip. I have an eighth of shrooms in my refrigerator in plastic baggies that have been there for a week.

I'm looking for some good reading material and information on the psychedelic experience in general, some positive media, books, tv shows, movies trip reports etc.

Maybe a good trip guide on psilocybin if it exists.

I am very cautious when attempting new things, so I have weighed myself out 0.5 grams with 1 cap.

I'm very excited, but need some positive things to read before I do it.

Any tips any of you might like to give me on my first trip too would be greatly appreciate.

Cheers~

You will not get HPPD from one shroom trip.
Seriously, I abused the SHIT out of shrooms and I don't have any HPPD. If anything, if I stare at a patterned surface (like carpet) for too long, I can sort of see it "breathe" the way it does on shrooms. Except, I have to stop what I'm doing and STARE for this to occur. No ill affects in my every day life. None.

Don't be worried man, shrooms are :feelsgoodman:

If you are depressed, suffer from anxiety and have OCD my personal recommendation is that you should probably lay off the drugs :shrug:

I will tell you that .5g will get you nowhere in terms of tripping. You might not even feel anything. If you're dealing with cubensis, 1.5-2g is a good place to start.

I've found that once you research something, you start having expectations. When you have expectations, and the experience doesn't live up to those expectations, you often find yourself disappointed.
The first time I took shrooms I had no idea what was going to happen, and I loved it :mushroom2:

I would say toss out all preconceived notions you have about shrooms. Do your research, by all means, but don't take the "bad" trip reports too seriously. Don't be scared. It's just a drug.
I've never had a "bad" trip, either. More like an uncomfortable trip. Just enjoy the experience, and don't take it too seriously :thumbup:

I will tell you the same thing I tell everyone about bad trips. The best way to avoid a bad trip is to try not to avoid it.

The more you focus on having good or bad trips, the more you're going to get anxious, and you'll be in for a bad experience. Have a friend around, and when you're feeling happy and in a good mood, eat your shrooms.

Turn on some good music, and maybe go outside. Just let it all happen, and relax, and you will be okay. You're in for a great time.

If you feel yourself getting anxious, just remind yourself that it's all because of a drug you took and that it will end. One of the best things i've noticed when things start going downhill, is to have a change of scenery. Go to a different room, or outside. (Or inside if you're outside) Change the music. Just start tweaking your surroundings until you get it right.

Welcome to the psychedelic world, enjoy your stay!

And like Anthony said, don't try to expect anything going in, because everyone experiences the drug differently.

There are commonalities, but I notice that each trip I have is different. So don't try to compare what you've read in reports to what you'll experience.

I can promise you that what you'll experience is going to be unique, and wonderful!

Try and read as many positive experiences as you can. Push some of that negativity out of your head. You are eating a half gram and I think that's smart for someone in your position. That is exactly what I would do. Don't worry, at that low dose, mushrooms are VERY gentle and forgiving. Its really unlikely that you will 'freak out'. When I eat half a gram of mushrooms, I may get a moment of anxiety before they kick in, but once it starts, it is all smooth sailing, you will feel light and energetic, peaceful, and just great. So don't worry man. The best thing you can do is start low and slowly work your way up at a rate you're comfortable with.

When trippin, don't even let the thought of a bad trip go into your mind.  Just chill, put some ambient music on, clear your mind, have a few smokes, share some laughs with your buddies, and just have a great time.  You will be fine man.  :smile:

Got some tips in the link in my sig.

I saw you said you'd put aside 0.5g, that would most likely be a threshold or sub-threshold dose - ask the person you got them from what amount to take for a mild, medium, and strong trip, then assess from there where you want the experience to take you. It's healthy to put your feet in the water first, if you just want to get an idea of what more would be like...

Set and setting... Be prepared... Make yourself free for 6-8 hrs... No one has expectations of you

You should not have any long term effects... Most people never do

Do what your think is best.... Not sure you will feel 0.5 gm, but have to start somewhere

Relax...'trust the mushroom...

Mentally prepare yourself for the voyage. Acknowledge the possible rewards and dangers that you may encounter. If you desire to have a spiritual journey then I suggest that you set that intention.


Try to find a location that minimizes physical and mental dangers. Surround yourself by people who you trust will care and protect you.

These are guiding principles that I myself follow.

.5g is probably not going to give you many effects. At least, it will give you NOTHING like a real dose would.
Like I said start at 1.5g :thumbup:

0.5 grams is a waste of time and shrooms IMO. You likely won't even feel anything, and if you do it will be so subtle you'll be asking yourself, "Am I feeling something?"

I'd do at least 1 gram. You'll at least feel something and maybe some mild visuals and mind effects. I'd really recommend 1.5 up to half an eighth.

0.5 grams is like drinking a half a glass of beer and expecting to feel intoxicated.

Just my  2 cents.

Agreed. I think you'll be surprised by how manageable a medium dose of mushrooms is. eg, 1.5 -2 grams. I have only ever tripped on P. Subaeruginosa though, so i assume the dosage will differ. But yeah, i think 1.5 should be the minimum dose. i mean, you want to be able to distinguish a mushroom trip from smoking weed, and 0.5 will probably just be a mild body high, if even that. :smile:
