What made you try shrooms?

As the topcis says, for me its clear. When i was child ive seen a documentary about drugs, and i was at that time not really interested in drugs at all, but as they described lsd, i thought i just got to try this out someday! 10 years later, nothing has changed about my desire about lsd, i started to check out the internet, i read alot of information about lsd alot i knew already but i was so silly that i thought that i could possibly produce it myself, and found out that is almost impossible without the right stuff, so anyways.. I encountered after browsing through the web that psilocs come closest to lsd and are much more easy to get/cultivate. Thats where it all begun. Ive been a big fan of mushrooms anyways, used to go with my parents through the forest to gather eatable mushrooms when i was a kid, we still do it sometimes.

My friend called me up one night saying his dealer was trying to get rid of some. We had never really researched any info about them, but loved smoking weed. So naturally we dosed, layed around on the floor drooling, and played mario party for 3 hours.

Actually HBWR seeds or morning glory seeds are about the closest natural thing to the LSD experience, and certainly the most obtainable! I'll leave it to you to discover what the catch is!
For me Shrooms were a lot more like DMT and a lot less like LSD than I was expecting! Still though there are some similarities!

I wanted to experience something different and see the world through new eyes which made the idea of psychedelics and alternate mind states very intriguing.

I used to watch all of comedian Bill Hicks' material and Doug Stanhopes as well and they, esspecially hicks, emphasize the benefits of psychedelics. So does Joe Rogan. And George Carlin credited LSD for changing him into what he became.
Alot of comedians have inspired me to take psychedelics.

Graham Hancock's TED talk about psychedelics and human consciousness inspired me.
Really recommend watching it:

Hard to say where it started for me.
I have always been someone who thinks outside the box. My personality type also pushes me to want to see the big picture. I have wandered around the library so to say. In searching for recognition and finding myself it is hard not to come across these things.
I smoked a for a couple a months in high school, peer pressure and it didn't do much for me. I smoked weed when I was around 18 or so maybe. It was nice but it doesn't really do all that much.
At some point I became slightly obsessed with the idea of taking them. How I got there I can't say. It is a combo of everything I am, find interesting, am looking for and probbaly something I saw on tv about them. How else those days a young man gets any info? Or maybe it was a family member who apparently was a heroine addict. Heard the stories, wondered about it maybe.
I didn't buy any for a long time. One day I bought some at the smart shop, perfectly legal. Not anymore though, thanks to christian politics.
I used them a few times, I remember respecting them a lot, I had the warnings. Mild visuals...fascinated me. I took some more.
Then I got a bad trip. And learned a lot. I didn't take them again for many years. Until a few years ago. So what made me try? The search for knowledge, insight, understanding myself and test my own ideas against the reflection of what goes on inside the trance.
I cannot see myself ever stopping to take them. Already they have helped me in more ways than I can bespeak.

Before i ever smoked weed i went to an alternative jr. high school and all the kids smoked weed there. So every once in while in health we'd talk about drugs, one day we go over a huge list of drugs and read the effects /health problems. Any how when we read that people "see sounds" on lsd and i became interested, still never done lsd only mushrooms.

My father told me about his experience with mushrooms in an attempt to scare me i think a long time ago when i was about 12
but then it just got me interested in them cause he said he was looking down at the stage from above it at a Rush concert and i thought that sounded awesome. He also claimed that he could direct the driver where to go and could see out the front of the car when he was actually looking at the ceiling laying down in the back of the car. Crazy stuff
so fast forward to when im 15 and super into the grateful dead and smoking weed... i just seemed natural to want to try them anyway, plus with the other info from my dad... i was all for it.
i ate 6g my first time like a cocky bastard
needless to say i had an eye opening experience that set the tone for the rest of my psychedelic career.

This. As a result of hours upon hours (.....upon hours) of reading trip reports, mostly on erowid. I owe so much to that site.

I had always found the topic of psychedelics to be very interesting but always thought of it as one of those taboo illegal things that only crazy drug addicts do. As I grew into my late teen years realized that there's a huge difference between doing psychedelics and meth/coke/heroin/all that other stuff. I initially became very interested in lucid dreaming, as I found the exploration of my consciousness to be quite an interesting topic. Once I started smoking weed, I realized how truly fascinated I was by the altered state of consciousness and dove right into to shrooms because a) they are natural (I know that all drugs come from "natural" things, but drugs that come straight from the dirt are the best drugs ) and b) I knew they would be safe and reliable so I wouldn't have to worry about being ripped off or getting something bad from some sleazebag on the street.

Just like me, i thought damn if you start taking shrooms it it'll be the worst of the worst. But i was wrong, also i think the ppl taking shrooms are probably very intellectual while ppl with a low intellect would probably think what a shit..and prefer taking heroine/meth/coke..

Honestly, I know a lot of people who have taken mushrooms and had a "bad trip," usually because they were not ready to face the inner psyche that they hid from themselves. It's unfortunate, but not everyone is intellectually secure enough for psychedelics.
I had heard about hallucinogens from health classes and school, and I naturally started with marijuana. Smoking always brought me closer to nature and made me thoughtful and insightful, so hallucinogens sounded like such an interesting change in perception. My experienced friends all told me to start off with mushrooms, and explained to me that it was a very spiritual and emotional journey. I was very intrigued by this, so I tried them... I am so glad I made that choice in my spiritual path! It has led me to great places so far

I got high after school one day and started doing some research on psychedelics, and the more and more I researched, the more and more I realized that most psychedelics really aren't bad at all. As a kid you're always told the rumors and whatnot about everything, to try to keep you off them, but then I realized that it was all bull, and the government is a shady group of people. So after intensive research, I had my mind set on three things other than THC; Psilocybin, LSD, and DMT. And low and behold, I met a new kid at school, and he tells me that he grows   so I instantly took the opportunity to try it. It was probably the best decision of my life so far

I've always had an interest in psychedelics ever since the little blue policeman at school talked about drugs to us.
Then I discovered that the headshop sells magic truffles, so my friends and I tried them, and...
It's so great

own curiosity
having RTFMed before trying them
but I tried LSD before shrooms, so shrooms were just natural to try, since they were a psychedelic too and do basically the same as LSD
the trip was almost the same.. just shorter and more intense CEVs at the expense of less intense OEVs
I did lsd before I smoked weed iirc

I suffered from chronic headaches / migraines nearly daily, and was on a mix of strong analgesics and anti migraine tablets. I had always liked smoking weed and experimenting with opiates / benzo's so when i found out how easy it was to grow mushrooms, i decided to start that as a part time hobby and when i finally got my first flush.
I was blown away at the whole new world i was experiencing that and afterwards i felt no need to take my anti migraine tablets and havent experienced a headache / migraine since, though i do trip at least once every 3-4months to keep them at bay. But i love working with mushrooms now and am always looking to grow and develop new strains, i wish everyone could understand the beauty of these marvelous things. My favourite way to take them is either: fresh, in gel caps ( 1g and .5g sizes) or chocolates.
