Initiation to the Psychedelic Experience. Countdown...
    #19130107 - 11/13/13 05:58 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hey there!
I am new with psychedelic substances and I am looking forward to experience them, I just have a few details that I would like to clear out and I would very much appreciate some input from someone experienced that can share their "do's" and "don'ts" apart from the general info found on the web.

I ordered 15g of Psylocybe Atlantis Truffle from MushMagic that I will be receiving in the next few days. As for the setting I am going to eat the truffles with a friend (he has tried shrooms a few times before) in the woods during daytime. I think that the "union with nature" described by many during the trip must be an absolute pleasure.

Here are my worries though. Around a year ago I started medication because of an anxiety disorder. The overall anxiety has decreased so I stopped taking medication around a month ago. I'm feeling better these days though my levels of anxiety are still over the "standard" levels (which I hope I can bring down with time). Usually when I feel anxious is because of all the stress we are exposed in our daily lives (another reason for wanting to achieve an altered state of reality and finding a deeper meaning).
My dilema is this.
Will the truffles liberate me from the daily life stress with a deeper reality (that is my goal for my first experience) or will I feel overwhelmed by the experience and trigger my anxiety..?
I was thinking to start with half the box and see what happens from there.
Since it's my first contact with a psychedelic I have no idea what I am going to find... so what are good ways to get used to the psychedelic state without stressing because of the extremely new sensation?

At the moment I am feeling very excited though quite nervous at the same time.
I am open (and thankful) to any input that you can offer and that I can learn from.
I will write my first experience after my trip and I hope I can really free myself into the new world I will be seeing/feeling.

Peace

Hi friend,

No one can really say for sure how you will react, but if you are prepared and in a good environment the odds will be considerably in your favor. This is just my opinion but if I were you, I would meditate (however formally or informally you like) on where the anxiety is coming from and try to at least understand it cognitively even if you can't eradicate it simply by understanding it. For example, are you scared you're going to have a bad trip? If you unpack that mentally, you can see that a bad trip is unpleasant but its highly unlikely to cause you any harm, so there's no reason to be afraid. Then, following that example, I would read as much about bad trips and how to prevent them as possible.

Beyond that, if this is your first time then start with a small dose, have a contingent plan of some sort as to what you will do if you start feeling bad (a comforting room/song/teddy/whatever to retreat to) and remember to talk to your friend before and during about any worries. Being more experienced, they should be able to help. Primarily you need to 'give in' to the experience and not try to fight it as that's where most of the anxiety and negativity will come from.

Good luck!

To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

It could easily go either way, or both. That's why I always recommend to people, to trip in the comfort of their own bedroom! But that's only my perspective, I use mushrooms for introspection and I want to isolate myself from any possible distraction. One time I tripped at night in my bedroom, and I made the mistake of looking out of the window,  and saw [hallucinated] a whole gang of people staring directly at me, it triggered the worst episode of paranoia I've ever had.

I've tripped many times and I still would not choose to do it in a public place! Although I do understand that it's the perfect trip for some people. It's impossible to know how you'll react to your first exposure. Only you can judge what's best for you. No easy answers sorry.
