Every trip is unique and there are 1000 factors that go into the experience, from set, setting, your own mindset and brain chemistry at the time and of course varying potencies of the mushrooms. In other words, don't expect your next trip to be anything like your last and you will most likely find it just as enjoyable, but when you have the perfect trip, know full well that you'll never be able to repeat or recreate that exact same experience.

Shrooms are never the same for me. It makes since to me that they are aliens. They show me what they want not what I want. Our time in this body is short so be bold and just go ahead and eat about 5 or 6 grams but don't be attached to doing anything in particular.

You tell us.
We can't predict the future.
The first breakthrough is often profound. No need to chase the dragon, let them do what they do next time, do not try to recreate the first time. Change your setting or music or mood.

Seeing as these four have summed everything up already, I'll just take this moment to say

I find myself always learning more, especially from mushrooms. There is always more to learn! Don't rush though, their teachings will return in time.
My second encounter with psilocybin was just a bit more than my first time, (4g, I took 3.5g my first time as well) and the experience blew my mind! It was much more involved, and I felt that I noticed a lot more detail about the trip because I had already become comfortable with the otherworldly experience of psychedelics. I felt that rather than sitting back and letting the experience flow over me, I moved in tandem with the vibrations of the experience. So yes, I suppose my point is that every trip is vastly different!

My trips got consecutively better up until about the 6th or 7th trip, and I've never felt any of them had lost the slightest bit of magic nearly 100 trips down the road. I'd think a great analogy would be a literal trip. Is going to the bahamas again just as fun as it was the first time? One might even argue it gets better every time because you become more and more familiar with the area, but just like the bahamas the scenery is dynamic and changes with the times so there's always something new if you're looking for it.

I think that's good advice to give someone, though I don't necessarily agree with it. I'd say to go into every trip without expectations, but after about 5-10 trips they literally always take me to the same place now, and that's regardless of the substance. The ride's always a bit different, but the destination remains the same.

Obviously, the general effects once you get used to the drug are pretty similar, but IME no trip is exactly the same. Never the same epiphanies, never the same response to the music even if it's the same song, I've tried to re-create good trips and it's never happened, even accidentally. I've never had the same visitor or seen the same face of God, and even the general visuals vary greatly from trip to trip, but that's me personally. I've easily tripped 50 times and none of them has taken me to the same exact place, sure the scenery is similar, like you're going somewhere in the same state, but it's not the same city and certainly not the same beach. I tend to switch up dosages and try different species of mushroom so that might have something to do with it.

Yeah, I might be different in that regard to most people, but to me I'd say it is the exact same place. Generally even the road to get there is the same road, whether the car be lsd or mushrooms, the only difference is the ride can vary and sometimes you'll take a slightly different path from time to time. In talking to others I do think I'm somewhat alone in that feeling though, I know none of my friends have gotten there, at least from what they've shared. Psychedelics tend to make me very lucid and clear headed which is the opposite of a lot of people, I feel a lot more mentally sound when on them.
I do wonder if something changed in me after a certain trip in the beginning of my career, that was the first time I went to this 'place' and ever since it's been very easy to get back. Before that every trip *was* completely different, so different I literally would have no idea what to expect, sometimes you might even have been able to convince me I was on a different drug had I not witnessed what I had eaten.

I always get the same visuals when I look at certain objects. Certain aspects of a trip will be the same, but the general "feel" is different every time.
