Going to try psychedelics for the first time in Amsterdam
    #23556746 - 08/19/16 12:40 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Hello everyone,

I'am new here so i hope i'am posting right, also English not being mother language i hope you will forgive me for any grammatical mistakes :wink:

So i'am a regular weed smoker for almost 3 months now and still don't have any experience with "real" psychedelics yet. Next week i'am going to Amsterdam for the first time! And i plan to get those legal magic truffles they sell there.

Here is why i need your advices. First i would like to know your opinion about those so called "philosopher's stoner" like any suggestion where to buy or where to avoid, what kind should i get and what precaution should i take in order to make sure my journey will be alright?
I plan to stay 3 days there and take the stuff the second day in the morning. Also i'am going to be alone, i know this is not a good point but i have to. Actually if i'am doing so is because i'am in a weird time in my life when i dont know what i should do and i hope the experience will help me find an answer like weed helped me before and improved my life.

Thanks.

The particular mushroom that you get is much less important than your set and setting so make sure those 2 things are just right.

My only advice would be to be someplace you feel safe and comfortable where you can do as you choose.

Also you may want to consider tripping later in the evening. Maybe a little before sunset. For some reason, and this is just my personal opinion, it seems like tripping at night creates a more powerful experience. And if you have access, it can be very beautiful to watch the sunset and see the change and shift that occurs in nature from day to night.

Also night seems like there is less going on. It seems quieter and almost forces you to self reflect.

The first time I ever tripped hard was alone. I was fine. I tripped many times alone and do it often, i prefer tripping alone when it comes to self reflection.

I also prefer to stay away from all electronics and be completely free to experience the moment you are in. It can greatly distract your mind from deep and beneficial experiences when you busy yourself with useless social media, txt, etc.

Thats just me though. Do what you feel you will enjoy the most and will give you the most beneficial experience based on what you hope to achieve.

I hope you find what you're looking for.

Good luck and happy tripping  :thumbup:

I don't think most first timers can handle a night trip on their first go especially by themselves. Night trips are just too crazy.

I say dose at 5pm in your hotel room alone. If you get bored and feel comfortable go explore the city. The thing I would say to watch out for is allowing yourself to come up somewhere uncomfortable. Get to a point where you can gauge the effects then feel free to go out in the environment IMHO.

Maybe id trip in a big beautiful park where i can sit there on my own with my music for a long time without being bothered...especially if it is near the hotel.
And dont panic, just remember that you aint gonna die or lose your sanity for ever...everything will pass.

Yeah what he said. 

Check out Vondel Park.  It's kinda like the Central Park of Amsterdam.

They are good, although the strength of the trip can be a bit unpredictable.

For general info take a look at the Sclerotia FAQ thread on the Ignatzmice website mentioned by Dustybottoms. I've added a post to the end of that thread (appears at the end of the 3rd page) which has a list of recommended Amsterdam Smartshops.

:dancingbear:

what kind should i get




It depends what kind of trip you want - something mild or something that's going to give you more of a psychedelic experience? The person behind the counter in the smartshop will probably be able to give you some suggestions (the websites of the truffle producers explain their ranges - I can't link directly to sources here but the info is in that FAQ). The "mexicana" is a typical beginners choice. If you wanted something a little bit more psychedelic possibly try something like atlantis or dragon's dynamite - a 15g dose should be OK for a first time, not too strong.

In general terms there are a few different ranges of truffles produced by different companies, with lots of different crazy names for the truffles. Each range of products is designed so that (in theory) there is a range of potency so that they have packs designed for mild trips, medium trips, or strong trips for more experienced users. So don't be too baffled by all the names, most of it is marketing strategy, just pick depending on what strength of trip you want.

A standard dose is 15g (10g would usually be a mild trip, 20g would be stronger, obviously depending on the strength of what you are eating). Potency varies a lot so the actual results of any particular trip on this stuff can often be either disappointing or a bit stronger than expected. If the trip is a bit weak, weed will probably boost it, but be careful it doesn't make things too crazy!

Personally if I was on my own I would want to be in a calm, peaceful indoor environment where there are no distractions or potential intrusions. The experience can feel a bit weird and uncomfortable at times, so its nice to be able to lie down and chill without thinking that people are watching you. The suggestion about tripping in your hotel room, getting used to the effects and only venturing outside when the trip has settled down is a good idea (although if you trip at 10am you will probably get disturbed by the cleaners!). If you are staying in a hostel this would be more difficult...

As per a couple of previous posts, the Vondelpark (entrance near the Leidseplein) is also a recommended place to trip if the weather is good; you could find somewhere secluded and sit quietly on the grass. I wouldn't wander around the city while tripping solo, just because of the unpredictable traffic (especially bicycles!).

Also make sure you trip on an empty stomach (3 or 4 hours since last meal). If you are outside make sure you have water with you and plan sensibly what you are going to do and where you are going to be! Oh and music is very nice so take your headphones and prepare a suitable playlist in advance.

Have fun!

Thanks people for the answers, i know i'am a bit late to respond but better late the never :smile:
So just to say i was expecting way stronger hallucinations, i dont get any real ones but the trip was good. I felt dreamy the whole day, i actually took them around 15pm since i ate early at 11am. I stayed in the hotel room and felt a very warm feeling through my whole body with a great euphoria and things got kinda distorted around me. After that i decided to go out, so i took the metro and found that everything i was looking at seemed to be new and fun like if i was an alien seeing mankind for the first time. I couldnt stop thinking about the meaning of life and how in the end we are just homosapiens trying to be civilised and this idea in mind i couldn't stop laughing while looking at people(tried to be discreet about it though :laugh: ) I also felt a big empathy for all those homosapiens that were trying too hard to live their life and be happy i really loved everybody and maybe because i was away from home and work but i felt a great sens of freedom.

So in the end it was a good experience, sadly not hallucinations as i expected but it really changed the perception i had of things. Now i'am not afraid of shrooms anymore, so i might take a stronger dose next time to see what happen. The only drawback is the feeling of nausea that was present throught all the trip which i think is due to the awful taste of shrooms.
