First Time Advice
    #18910783 - 09/30/13 11:02 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

So someone who isn't me is considering trying psilocybin for the first time.  SWIM's reasoning for trying mushrooms is not so much for the recreational novelty but more for inducing a transformational, soul-searching experience.  SWIM has been casually researching the effects of psychedelics and frequently reads about academic studies that indicate a potential for transcendence of the ego and healing of the soul.  SWIM understands that set and setting are essential and that one may experience some unpleasant feelings initially, but objective awareness and nonresistance can help facilitate a journey that goes through the psyche and beyond the ego.  SWIM has some baggage and traumatic experiences that he feels the need to detach from on the subconscious level, and he also understands that a psychedelic experience may magnify emotional turmoil but also offer the opportunity to break free of emotional resistance triggered by such matters.  SWIM has experience with cannabis so a psychoactive experience is nothing new.  SWIM also has a profound curiosity about the subconscious and has studied and practiced mindfulness,meditation, and other consciousness-exploring traditions.  The uncertainty that SWIM has about trying psilocybin relates to finding the proper setting.  His friends have little perceivable interest in the entheogenic aspect of mind-altering substances and usually indulge in the more common ones (i.e. marijuana and alcohol) merely for recreational use.  Some buddies of his are interested in trying mushrooms but SWIM is not certain that their company is ideal for a transcendent experience (They're the type that would probably rather horse around, play video games, or watch some weird TV show on Adult Swim; SWIM's not looking to get tripped out).  SWIM is considering trying a low dose alone (about 1 gram) in a peaceful environment such as a quiet forest that has no possible distractions, but SWIM is not so sure that it is a good idea to go about a psychedelic experience without the company of another should harrowing thoughts or images arise.  Please give him some good advice as to the ideal way for him to go about his first experience with psilocybin as he feels he is at a crossroads in life and wants to do everything possible to elevate his consciousness to facilitate personal and spiritual growth.  Thanks.

Could only make it through two lines of that massive wall of text. Please use paragraphs if you wish us to read your entire post and give feedback.

Also tell SWIM to make an account themselves and ask us, unless SWIM is actually you, and you're just being super paranoid for no reason at all.

Agree

Don't use swim but use paragraphs

If you have a question, put it at the end so people can skip all the rest of the text and perhaps provide some guidance and help

You can just edit your post... Don't need to do a new one

Also... There is like 1000 threads on this topic
Might want to try the Search feature at the bottom of the forum page first

A gram will do nothing.  Maybe a slight tingle and a slight saturation of color in the visual plane of reference.  If SWIM wants to try and have a nice experience that may or may not be transcendent, then 2.5 grams is what I would suggest to get the party started.  That's not going to be a mind-blowing dose, but it will get the visuals moving and will produce a pleasant buzz after the initial (dare I say, inevitable) anxiety that accompanies the journey up.  Eat 2.5 grams, smoke a couple of bowls and let happen what needs to happen.  Next time you can go up to 4 grams and have a real mind-blowing festival that will produce an aura of transcendence. 

I don't know about you, but I'm holding out for whirled peas.

You'll be fine alone tripping on a low dose.  Start with 2-2.5g to get a feel for it.  Just turn off the TV and play calming music, stereodose.com is always what I recommend. 

Tripping alone isn't a hazard unless you make it one. Be confident in yourself and just let go...:awesome:

Whatever, but a gram is going to do a whole lot of anything.  Maybe OP is "psyched up" enough to get a placebo effect, but a gram isn't going to do anything beyond that.  Definitely need to acquire and ingest at least 2.5 grams to get things moving in the right direction.

1 gram is a waste of time if that's what he was asking..

True, many people pull this off safely either by luck or by the fact that they can hold their own under intense psychedelic pressure.

My concern ( and I speak from experience) is that people who flip out often end up running down the highway or running naked through their neighbor's yard.

My advice for any tripper is to find a secluded location far from people and flip your lid. The experience will still be scary, but at least there wont be anyone to call the police on you when you start screaming at 3am in the morning.

Be safe.

You'll probably appreciate Psilocybin mushrooms more if you don't have any expectations or pre conceived notions of them. In my experience one must want to consume the mushrooms and do thigs that he or she enjoys doing. Like walking around and looking at things that give you an emotional response even when sober. I don't recommend actually trying to delve deep into your mind, it should just come naturally as you admire the beauty of things.  :2cents:
