Hey everyone I am really wanting to try Magic Mushrooms! I have no experience with ANY psychedelics, only weed and DPH (low doses) I have a few questions for people because I have only done some research but still have some questions for people who have done it. how can I tell if it isn't poisonous because I have heard of people making mistakes... and I have heard that you can get allergic reactions? How can you tell if that happens? and I am afraid all of the visuals will be overwhelming are their any tips for that too? And any other tips for a good first trip?
(sorry if I sound like a complete idiot and any tips or things that could make it pleasant are good or anything I should know?.

Whatsup man! you came to the right place, there is tons of information and misinformation out there but this site is a great place to start.
I'm assuming you're going to be picking your own since you're asking about poisonous ones, if that's the case, once you go and pick some, go to http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/3 this forum and post pictures (read rules in the forum and fill out proper i.d. and learn what a spore print is (very simple)). Then wait for someone with a "trusted identifier" tag underneath their name to tell you what you have, they are VERY good at identifying and can make sure you don't have a poisonous one.
Even if you don't pick them and want to be sure, take pictures of the ones you bought and upload them there with any information you can give and they will still be able to tell you so you have the comfort of mind but once you get used to it, they are very easy to tell apart.
I haven't heard much about allergic reactions, but I'm sure it's a possibility, I wouldn't quote me on this but I guess the best way to tell is maybe rub some on your skin and wait to see if there is a reaction, or take a very VERY small dose and see if any ill side effects come up, but if I'm correct, allergic reactions are very uncommon so I wouldn't really worry about this one unless you've had allergic reactions to other edible mushrooms.
The visuals can definitely become overwhelming, but in my experience it is more the sensations and the way you feel that can be overwhelming. If that is a concern...START LOW!!! You can always take more next time, but you can't take less once you do them, I'd say start with 1.5 grams or less(1.5g in my experience is a very low dose) and then just wait a few weeks and bump up .5grams until you get to a point where you feel most comfortable. This can vary though, sometimes an 1/8th of one batch won't do much, but an 1/8th of another batch can blow your socks off. The visuals probably won't be what you think, you won't see crazy shit like dragons and demons or other nonsense you might of heard about, IME if you're looking at a tree, you'll still know it's a tree, but it will be different.....everything will be different but for the most part recognizable unless you take an extremely high dose (over 5 grams kind of dose)
But last and certainly not least, SET AND SETTING(ill explain briefly but read into that phrase more) is the most important, make sure you are somewhere you are comfortable, with people you are comfortable with, and in a generally good mood, and preplan. Have a music playlist ready, if you want to watch movies pick them out beforehand, if you're going to want to do something (i'd suggest avoiding public places as sober people can make it quite uncomfortable) then make sure it's ready for you (like drawing for instance, have the pad and pencils and shit ready)
Be somewhere you feel comfortable, with only people you feel comfortable with, and don't take them where unexpected things can happen (like people randomly showing up, parents coming home, anything of that nature)
If you have any questions at all or want more information, feel free to private message me at anytime, this site was made for this exact situation, it's all about harm reduction and mushrooms are some of the safest drugs you can take.
And welcome to the shroomery Hopefully I covered your questions good enough but there's no need to rush, just take your time reading around the site until you feel comfortable with it, they're a lot of fun and can be a very useful tool (psychedelic experience, mushroom hunting and identification forums are some good places especially for beginner questions)
