I am a newbie, experimenting, hunting and learning.

A few weeks ago I overheard my college age son talking with his best friend about wanting to try magic mushrooms....well, I've always run my house with an open door, open mind policy, BUT, I am also a 50 year old RN, that's been married to a wonderful/amazing/but ultra-conservative man for 25 years. I jumped into the conversation,( I thank God that my kids will talk to me about anything ), and very quickly realized that I didn't know enough about mushrooms to speak intelligently about them either pro or con. This sent me on a quest to find out all the facts. What I discovered was both surprising and incredibly intriguing. The TED talk about controlled mushroom studies was particularly enlightening. Long story short, a week of study, and I was ready to go mushroom hunting, both for myself, and for my son, who is having college related stress & anxiety. The fact that all studies show that you would have to eat a matter of POUNDS of mushrooms to OD, was really important to the nurse in me. I've always believed that there is a level of acceptable risk in all activities, and the risk associated with mushrooms is practically nonexistent. First day out I found huge mushrooms within about 20yards of my pasture fence. OMG, florida psilocybin cubes are SO easy to positively identify. I did spore prints just to be sure, and yep, I'd found my first shrooms. I've taken notes on my first two trips, and I will post those later, but for now, I am just amazed that my beloved horse, that has always brought me so much joy and peace, also poops magic mushrooms. I always knew he was the best horse on the planet !!!!!!!!

Good story over all though I do have one issue with something you said. That the risk is basically non-existent. From an OD stand point you're right, but never underestimate psychedelics, especially shrooms. They are powerful mind altering substances and one should be aware of the risks whether remote or not. I really only bring it up because not fully addressing or acknowledging the risk can have severe downsides. For instance, someone on their first real trip (not just a mild dipping of the toes) should not be out walking the streets. I definitely don't mean to discourage you or anyone else from using them, just don't do it the under the assumption it's absolutely safe to do it regardless of circumstances.

Thank you, and you are absolutely right ! I was referring only to the chances of an actual overdose. That being said, physical & emotional safety are huge concerns that must be carefully addressed.

Are you familiar with the term "troll". It's an inside joke of a recent troll. I wouldn't pay it too much attention. It's about HPPD though. Troll is convinced like 99.9999999% of people who use psychedelics develop this condition.

Welcome to the Shroomery, you seem awesome from that first post. Hope you stick around and enjoy your experimentation with mushrooms. Also, I love the name; is it a reference to Countess Bathory, Bathory the band, or something else entirely?

Now I'm off to search the web and figure out what HPPD is. I thought I'd done loads of mushroom research, but I never came across that term. Its so hard to assess risk when I don't know all the right questions to ask, and I hate not knowing !!! Thank you again for your time, attention & warning

Dont worry about HPPD too much. Its most likely after binge use, and a mix with other drugs. As long as you treat the mushroom like a tool, not a toy, you should be fine and never have to worry about HPPD.

This completely.
Op i was kidding about hppd, but more research is always good. I would say hppd is kinda like spending all day on a merry go round. At some points afterwards you might kinda feel like your spinning around still, but does it affect anything? No it doesn't. Idgaf what some people say about it, most of the people who complain about it are just looking for any excuse to bitch.
The merry go round exa.ple might even be overstating it. More like staring at a bright light for a while and then looking away. Theres something slightly off, but it doesn't effect anything. If you or your kids are mentally stable they will be fine.

I could be wrong, but given that he quoted my post about BC being a troll, I'm assuming he meant BC's thread title was a rip off of a teen mag trying to warn kids of the dangers of drugs.
This is the thread in question: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22248893/fpart/1/vc/1
"HPPD: the dirty little secret that psychedelic users have swept under the rug"
It really does sound it was stripped straight from the cover of some teen mag.
Yours doesn't really sound like it came from a magazine.

If you have a question I'll answer it, but there are so many inside jokes and culture specific phenomenon here, that it's extremely difficult to even know the majority of it. There are a lot of things even I still don't understand. The blue cookie monster graemlin for instance, I have a general idea of the context it's used in but I don't really understand exactly it's meaning.

Thank you all for the info & heads up, and thank you Shroomslip, for the link to BC's post. I've only used twice. The first time was a very light dose, and the second time, wanting a much freer experience, I overestimated & had visuals for two days. Unlike BC though, I thought it was interesting and awesome. Little glimpses back into that mental space.

The context I see it used in pretty much all the time, is kind of hard to put into words. Best I can do to describe it is say it's used when someone asks a really fucking stupid question with a damn obvious answer. Or when someone says something that's both stupid and obvious at the same time.
>>>"I have cops asking me questions about someone else, should I help them?" <<<"You don't talk to cops "
or
>>>"I talked to some cops about someone else, and I ended up catching a charge myself. Talking to them is never a good idea, Fuck" <<<" "

I know it sounds like generic advice and info, but if the waters get rough and you've dosed high, just remember the trip will end.
It might feel like it'll last an eternity, but it definitely doesn't.

thank you. Actually it was awesome, loads of time to do some really deep emotional house cleaning, and explore different places in my head. All in all a great experience. I took notes throughout the trip, & will post them......I trust everyone will be kind regarding grammar & sentence structure, after all, I took 70g fresh.

Wow that's a big dose for a beginner! I've taken mushrooms ~10 times and never dosed higher than 5g dry (50g wet). I'm guessing it was a very intense trip?

I'll post my notes .... They're actually pretty hilarious. My first trip was very superficial, so I wanted to be sure to go really deep. I read up on fresh vs. dry, active doses, and OD potential, then made an educated guess....I laughed at myself the whole time, definitely fucked up the math on that one, but it was awesome. I'm a hard one to scare

Thank you all for the info & heads up, and thank you Shroomslip, for the link to BC's post. I've only used twice. The first time was a very light dose, and the second time, wanting a much freer experience, I overestimated & had visuals for two days. Unlike BC though, I thought it was interesting and awesome. Little glimpses back into that mental space.
no bad trips hehe hey you rock. Congratulations, you made it. It can get real weird real quick.

No one brought up the "Shrooms make you gay" thing, so it's still our secret.

Oh, it got really weird, and really fascinating....just once, I started to get nervous about having taken too much, so I made a cup of tea, reminded myself that I wouldn't die, quit being a little bitch, and recommitted myself to enjoying & exploring the experience. Then I melted into my granite countertop ....lol .

Thats awesome. It took me more than 3 experiences to figure out how to take control. It was always overwhelming without a way out. You have a strong mind, rational mind which is very important, in all aspects of life. If you can handle a strong trip, you can handle damn near anything in life. Difficult situations to peoples bull shit. If one breaks down during a trip, its a probable bet they often have break downs in sober life. I like to think of "tripping" as forceably taking off the mask. There is no act to put on. You are who you are. It will show you the true nature and weaknesses, and strengths, of others if they participate too.
Onto those fun side effects in your granite counter top(remeber tool not a toy)... did it look something like this :3

It looked exactly like that, and I could watch myself melt. My granite has great big clear crystal patches, in a black & brown matrix, with big black needle crystals, so it was really fascinating. You are completely right about mushrooms breaking you down to your core. I can see how a fragile, or easily freaked out personality wouldn't handle it well. I have been lucid dreaming since I was about 3yr old. When I hit that stage where nightmares start, my incredible grandma told me, "It's your dream, you control it, if it gets scary, or boring, look for the lesson. If it gets truly horrible, remember, its yours...just go to the barn and snuggle with the horses. I passed that tip onto my kids when they were very little, and now as college age young adults, they still take their bad dreams to the horses. I know it sounds crazy, but it works

Welcome back to Earth. I'm curious about something in your experience. Did everything you do feel like 'destiny'? As if every action was planned?
Oh, and are you having a nice afterglow feeling yet?

Hehe i know your "every action is planned" feeling. It came to me on LSD. The rate at which i was rationally comprehending, catorgorizing, and analyzing, everything inday to day life, it led me to believe, it is totally possible, that things are set up to, as a mass population, set up to guide us in certain directions, away from truth. That every global action is planned. (Never waste a good crisis) the powers believe. Not enough crisis, make em.

Hello Morgenstern, No, I didn't feel like everything was pre-destined, quite the contrary. I very much felt like my mind was cracked open, and it was my job to sort through it and find what was important & pack up and dump everything that was just taking up space. I felt like I had a job to do. Emotional house cleaning to accomplish, and I found myself checking the clock and trying to manage my very fluid, and limited, time in that head space. As for afterglow....YES.....the afterglow continues and is amazing

I was in San Francisco, it was my 2nd experience, i am trying to make sense of what is going on, and i pass a filing cabinet, out on the street. Standing there like it was supposed to be there. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks.. Our mind is like this filing cabinet. If we get careless in day to day life, this filing cabinet (our minds), the files in it csn get disorganized. Or even locked away.
Pschyedellics are a tool, to open the drawers of our filing cabinets, and give us quality time with our own thoughts(or files) and have a chance to re organize. Or unlock drawers thst have been long forgotten.
Or when abused as somethimg for fun, these drawers get opened, and the files get even more.. messy. Leaving someone mentally unstable.
Or i was tripping ballz. Either way, the model has worked well for me to keep me growing, and grounded in reality. After much abuse, i know im safe. One foot in front of the other. Right to our goal.

Objectives and goals are very important in the pschyedellic realm, or we become very uneasy. More or less, occupation of the mind is key. If you arent artsy, you may find a new found ability to draw or create excellent written work on your mushrooms.
