first time

I want to try shrooms for the first time, sometime in the future. I have always been interested in them but never came around to trying them. I had to quit smoking marijuana because the job i am getting does random drug testing. I have had anxiety with weed in the past but nothing serious and I am looking for advice on what to expect and how to avoid negative feelings .
Just a few questions: How can the highs be compared? Does it matter if i haven't been high in a while since i won't be able to smoke weed much anymore? Does anyone dislike weed but enjoy mushrooms? Has anyone quit weed but continued to use shrooms?
Any feedback is appreciated

one thing i;ve found is that the anxiety is much more manageable on shrooms than on marijuanas.. that's just from personal experience tho. if u;re already prone to anxiety like when u get high and stuff i'd try to avoid mixing those two.

I haven't smoked for a few months and still eat mushrooms, LSD, MDMA. Cannabis does help with the nausea I get from mushrooms but it can Intensify the comeup a little too much for me. Just eat a solid dose in tea and I'm sure you'll have a blast

Like you, I sometimes have paranoia or anxiety problems with weed, especially edibles. It can get VERY uncomfortable at certain times...but I have none of that on shrooms at all. I find smoking weed, BHO or dabs has nothing to do with the high from edible weed, which also has very little to do with a shroom trip. A shroom trip at a high doseage is like going on a journey of the mind to distant stars to me. Weed makes me think more about myself and tells me what I already know but don't want to hear and pounds it into my head...shrooms tell me something I have no idea how I could know, in a much more subtle way than weed which hammers the point home, repeatedly, if that makes sense.

I don't dislike weed, but I don't like weed at high doses at all. I like to vape some moderate amount of weed to chill and play games or talk with friends, but eating a lot of edibles is a weird kind of high for me and I can have paranoia (At a party a while ago I started thinking, "I'm too high to fight back if a serial killer tried to come into the room right now", which was no bueno.
So I could honestly take or leave weed, but I feel like the mushroom is the only drug I actually really really want to be a part of my life from now on...I haven't tried LSD or DMT yet though!
You should definitely try shrooms imo, because they are different enough from weed that you CAN like one and not the other. Also make sure you get some potent ones and have a high enough doseage... the first time I took shrooms it was definitely interesting, but until I tried some homegrown potent ones many years later, I didn't realize how weak the first shrooms I tried were. It felt like the first time was a fast go-kart, and the second time was an F-16 fighter jet in terms of intensity, I had no idea, and I ate way more the first time.
Good luck and make sure you have a good set and setting that is positive, peaceful and secure, and happy tripping!

I was a late bloomer with weed, I must have been 16 or 17 the first time I tried it, then didn't do it again until I was 19. The second go around I fell in love with it, smoke and go anywhere, store, crowded movie, etc. Was like that for a few years, then I started to get anxiety like a mofo when I smoked. That killed it for me, I went from smoking 3 or 4 or 9 times a day to not smoking at all. I might smoke a hand full of times in a year now, and it's usually with my old lady on a dvd rental night. Fuck going out to eat or watch a movie while high, lol!
Shrooms on the other hand never gave me the anxiety issues that weed did, but I'm not hanging out in a crowd of unknown people when I do them. I had one bad trip in my early 20's when I thought the devil was talking to me through the static of a cordless phone that was to far away from the receiver base. My girlfriend wasn't too thrilled when I asked her if she could hear his voice, that was the last time I tripped without having a plan and haven't had to speak to the under lord since.
That being said sometimes I'll take a toke at the tail end of a shroom trip to soften the landing. All this high THC stuff is one hitter quitter for me now, I kind of like the schwaggy stuff the old hippy guy I know grows in his yard. Outdoor weed grown in soil tastes better to me, and one hit doesn't kick me in the balls. Have fun and don't over do it your first time out!

Ive had to quit smoking bud but i have some mushies i will be dosing within the next week or two.
Start with a low dose IMO. Like a gram, or two grams at most. If you enjoy that, or if its not strong enough then you can up the dose next time around.
My very first mushroom trip was 2 grams. And it was nothing like i had imagined it to be. There were some slightly uncomfortable moments but overall it was an incredible experience that i would definitely re-live if i had to.
So my opinion would be to yes try it out. It wont kill you. Dont go above 2 grams for your first time. 1.5 sounds ideal.

Mushrooms can help quit substances in my experience so it will probably help you stay off it if you are committed to the idea...

Shrooms have the same mellow feeling bud gives you but as someone who suffers from social anxiety along with manic-depressive disorder they help me much more than any drug I have tried even a couple days after while re-integrating I've noticed decreased anxiety.
I love weed and have smoked it constantly since 12 but unfortunately I was sent to jail for a few months and have just recently got out, due to probation I haven't been able to do any drugs except psychedelics due to drug testing, so I started doing mushrooms again and after using them I honestly don't even really miss weed. My wallet is thanking me for it and I've been able to accomplish more because of this. I truly believe once you start getting into mushies your desire to smoke will diminish considerably, at least this was the case for me. Happy tripping!
