An eigth of cubes too much for a first timer?
    #19331829 - 12/27/13 05:53 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I'm looking to hear from people that ate at least 3.5 grams of cubensis for the first time they tripped, and whether or not the experience was positive or negative, and how you felt afterwards.

If you just wanna see some colors and look what it's like take a smaller dose.
If you have a strong, healthy psyche, no fears and major problems in you life and want to have one of the most intense feelings, be it good or bad, go ahead.

From experience, don't drink alcohol (too easy to just keep drinking and end up potentially shitfaced and not even realise it).

Aaaaand if you're planning on smoking some weed, wait until after your peak and smoke a little bit, wait and repeat until you get the effects you want(After like 4-5 trips now i'm only just realising how much MJ effects my trips).

If you have a pretty strong mindset and you're grounded, you should be okay on 3.5g. Nonetheless you should read up about it. You might forget who you are so make sure you're not someone who clings to that.

You'll probably be okay with 3.5g. For some reason, it seems pretty rare to have a bad experience your first time out regardless of the dose. I actually did 7g my first trip & had a blast, though I'd be hesitant to take that much now.

My first time was 3 or 4g mushroom chocolates

4g was a little too intense

3g was perfect, best trip ever

would do as chocolates, better trip than eating them raw... better chance of good trip

but LSD had already freed my mind somewhat before doing mushrooms, so I didnt have so much fear

if still living with fear 3.5g might not be a good idea except with locked doors, phone off, being alone/with sitter
2.5g might be a better dose for people living with fear ;-)

but I think the saying goes "just take the 1/8th"
personally I cant trip with anything less than 1/8th = 3.5g

what determines if it is too much is set,setting,dose
know your set, know your dose, chose your setting from set/dose etc.

Same here. Anything less and I just feel like I'm about to trip and nothing really happens.

Depends on the person, but I would say in general that's a pretty heavy dose for a first timer. Shit, it's a pretty heavy dose for me TBH

Yeah, first time so you have no knowledge about your tolerance and how well you handle tripping. Thus no idea of judging whether it will heaven or hell.

So please just take the safe road and start with a low(er) dose.

I took 3.8 my first time although Id had previous experience with LSD. Mushrooms turned out to be more nerve wracking, I also had to drive so that might have made my nerves worse. Otherwise I had a great time and it was amazing. I wish I'd has more time to myself and nature though instead of having to worry about driving and playing taxi cab and shit. Blah.

My first psychedelic experience (besides weed) was with 3.3 grams of dried cubensis. I had an awesome time, although I was with friends who kept me calm and I was also in a good setting with good music playing. I also researched the effects of the substance before I consumed so that nothing unexpected would happen.

I got some pretty good visuals. Walls morphing, colors everywhere, amazing body high.

The next time I ate 5 grams and lost my mind. :mushroom2:

My first dose was between 3-4 grams and I had a wonderful time as I was in the perfect set & setting

However it is considered to be a slightly higher than usual dose for a first timer and when dosing someone myself I give them 2.5g so it's not too overwhelming just in case they have a difficult time handling the dramatic shift in consciousness which can be quite nerve racking for people who've never experienced before

2.5 is what I'd call not too much but not too little

My first "real" trip was 3.8 grams. I had smoked DMT before as well as taken some extremely weak mushroom chocolates and LSD that were far from being a trip. Anyways that was up there with the best trips of my life. I wish it could feel like that again. It was two of my other friends first real trips too and they loved it

My first psychedelic trip ever was 3.5g of cubes. I think an eighth is a perfect dose for a first time. I find any less and you don't get the full experience and any more and you're gunna be pretty far out there. But I'm pretty strong mentally and haven't had a bad trip yet
And unless you smoke weed basically everyday, smoking while on mushrooms will reallly intensify things, i recommend smoking after your peak

No it's in no way "perfect", it's dumb.

The guy never tripped before, so he needs to probe his tolerance and see how well he handles tripping in general.

If he takes a small dose and doesn't feel anything, so what. If he takes 3.5 grams and he finds out his tolerance is insanely low...

Just be a lil cautious is all I'm saying.

I would go with 2.5g. Plenty of people have taken an 1/8th the first time and had a great experience, but everyone's different and shrooms vary. There's no rush, and you won't be disappointed with that dose if they're not particularly weak.

It's better to start with 2.5g, people react differently.  I trip balls - objects morphing into other objects, heavy tracers, ego loss whatever - on 2.5g.  :nyan:

In a proper set & setting it seems that most people actually enjoy a higher dose (1/8th), over a lower one.
If in doubt, have a trip sitter.  I've found most problems are solved by someone who isn't say, trying to open a water bottle by twisting it inside upward, and failing because their hands keep changing size... etc.

When first getting into trips and even now, after many years of experience, an 8th (3.5g) has always been recommended.

My first trip off of mushrooms and anything ever for that matter was on an 8th of mushrooms. It went very well. It was me and three good buddies out in the middle of no where one night. Was really high and tripped pretty hard but it was awesome.

An 8th is a strong amount but not a heroic dose or anything. If you keep a few things in mind you should be fine:

*Don't do this on a whim! plan the night out. Have everything you need readily available. It only makes it harder trying to something on a dose of mushrooms.
* Do them somewhere you feel comfortable being, like at home.
* Make sure no one who would disapprove or not understand be around you during the trip.
* Try not to do it somewhere public or where you can get yourself into trouble unless you are experienced and know what is coming and can handle yourself.
* Having someone their who is experienced to talk to is always a good idea. Have them sit\or trip with you.
*Weed helps a lot. Have a bag ready for your trip. You don't have to smoke it but having it available if needed will leave you very thankful in the morning.
* Go into it with a POSITIVE mindset and a GOOD mood. Be EXCITED to try this. If you go into fearing what may come or majorly upset about anything it could lead to a bad trip. Don't dwell on anything.
*If tripping with others (Or if somewhere thats loud like a concert or something) be sure to have a place where you can just chill. A quiet place off to the side where you can go to collect yourself if needed helps a lot!
*Remind yourself: "I love myself and I deserve this experience!."



If you start to freak out\or start having a bad time keep this in mind:
*Calm down. Remove yourself from anything hectic going on, try to get somewhere quite and safe to collect yourself.
* Take deep breaths. Remind yourself this is a drug and will where off soon. I hear singing (anything!) can help you by forcing you to breath and change your mood.
* Be comfortable, lay down. Make yourself at home.
* Smoking a bowl helps if you smoke bud.

It kind of disappoints me that some people believe that there is an actual concrete answer to this question. Since psychedelics are so dependent on the individual user, each individual will have a varying degree of effects. My first shroom trip was on an eighth of cubes by the way. It wasn't overwhelming or "too much" whatsoever. I felt like it was the perfect amount for me. The set and setting was very ideal too, however. 

Nowadays I wouldn't even consider an eighth of shrooms. The minimum amount I will do is a quarter if I want a fully-immersed trip experience. Anything less than that and I won't be completely tripping.  But again, I have a naturally high tolerance to mushrooms and a naturally low tolerance to other substances such as LSD.

You just have to feel confident and prepared for what you're getting yourself into. If you feel like you can handle an eighth for your first time, odds are you can probably handle it.

Good vibes my friend!
