My parents want to try mushrooms. What do?
    #23570111 - 08/23/16 06:44 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

My parents (50 yrs) have been asking me about my mushroom growing more and more recently, and have finally decided that they want to try mushrooms.
Is there anything I should warn them about? Is this even a good idea?
I just worry because I know how ground breaking it can be and even worry more about a bad trip.

My dad growing up has always been a bit square and set in his ways but has warmed up to some new age ideas (weed for one) in recent years. My mom has always been on the more spiritual side.

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there with some experience with this topic. Maybe Im thinking about it too much.

What would be the best method for them to take it together? Just put 3 grams into some shroom tea?

Don't fucking piddle, they are adults, 3.5gram minimum, and get them some shrooms ASAP, nothing more to consider.

1.5-2g Max if they REALLY want to try it.
Find some good resources, yt videos, documentaries, science articles if they're into heavier reading. Let them make the decision, if they REALLY want to try it without you pressuring them or anything then let them do it.

I'd even guide them through it personally if they wanted if I was you. Not in an impeding way just kinda "trip sit",that is if it goes down.

As long as they don't have any breathing/heart/mental problems they'll be fine.

It sounds like a great idea to me.

I recommend forcing them to prepare themselves as a pre-condition to you giving them mushrooms. Make them read some basic information on mushrooms as well as the book the psychedelic experience by Leary, Alpert and Metzer. This book is an excellent guide, especially for newbie trippers as it can help remind the person what is happening to them so they don't panic.

I'd also force them to listen to some Terrence Mcknenna lectures and maybe read some books on shamanism.

THe next most important factor is the setting. I think nature is best, and make sure they prepare music to take with them.

I wish my parents would try mushrooms, I believe it could help them with their overly negative and fearful attitude toward life.

As far as dosage goes, I'd let them decide. Two grams minimum but give them the option of taking up to 3.5 grams, with the warning that it can be very strong.

Yeah they really want to try it. Well my mom does for sure. She always asks me about my trips and spiritual journeys. And I let her know its not just a cake walk. She meditates a lot as well so I think she can handle it. She asks my dad if he wants to and he says sure. He doesnt seem as crazy about it.

I dont know how I feel about trip sitting though. I would rather just have them know that they could call me and im there if they need me but I dont want to muddy up a trip between the two of them. I know etimes when I trip woth my girlfriend and me and her just want to be alone sometimes its hard to drop the hint... idk theyll prolly be fine I guess. They are both healthy and mentally stable.

Yeah I will let them know they should do their research. I will recccomend that book. My mom listens to tribal music and shaman music to help her meditate. They live out in the country so doing it at their house may not be an issue

Yeah I agree I'm not one for trip sitting or sitters at all. I take all my journeys alone now, mostly by choice, but I was just personally speaking if it was my parents I'd be there if they thought it would be a good idea, and not to impede just be there on stand by in case something happens like be in another room or something not bothering them just be there.

But yeah I agree I don't do the sitter thing in most normal situations.
What ever happens I hope you update us on this, it sounds like you mom is going to really gain some things from this if she's dedicated to meditation and such.
Good vibes man.

I gave my mom a few grams and it was hilarious, she was outside trying to take pics of the trees and skies because of how beautiful they were, and how pretty her kitchen table was and the varnish was perfect. It was a good time.

I have a funny story about giving my Dad shrooms. (Well I tought it was funny, My Mom and his best friend... not so much)

So my Mom was away for the weekend and I invited my Dad over for a pre-party before my friends band played. The band and a few folks were there and someone brought some shrooms. I decided to make tea for everyone to share. I asked my Dad if he wanted some shroom tea and when he said "yes" I was so psyched because the last time we were scuba diving in Mexico I had brought up shrooms and he said he'd like to do them with me. I told him how psyched I was because of our Mexico talks and we all partook.

About 30 minutes later we were all ready to leave for the show. Just as we're walking out he says he has to run home for a minute. I told him he was crazy and to stay with us, he was insistent that he go home and grab "something" So he leaves.

He never comes back. The next morning I get a call from his best friend. "Did you dose your Dad last night?" What? Well, yeah but why? "He called me at 1am and talked my ear off for 3 hours. What the hell were you thinking?"

Supposedly my Dad didn't know it was that kind of tea, even though I talked to him about it, at length, before we drank. And he never stopped to wonder why a bunch of people drinking beer would drink tea before going to hear a band? It's still up for debate in my family what actually happened!

He did say when he got in his car to drive home he thought he was in a spaceship!

Mushroom tea also doesn't exactly taste like the kind of tea people wopuld drink for pleasure.

Why wouldn't it be a good idea? It is not like 50 is elderly or something. If they want to try it, they should have the right to try it like anyone else.

I do agree that reading and researching is a good idea. For my first grow, I read everything that I could find and watched every video I could find on the subject.

At the end of the day, it didn't prepare me for what a trip is like though. What it did do was help me to respect the mushrooms and not just treat it like any other drug.

If My Mom or Dad came to me and seriously was interested in getting or growing mushrooms I'd do anything in my power to help them! I would give them around 3 grams give or take for their first time. Hope they enjoy!!! :wink:

I've given my parents mushrooms, just make sure to explain what could generally be expected. That no matter what there is nothing lethal in the dosage you are giving them and how long they should expect the trip to be (come up, peak etc).
Explain what type of experiences one could expect from what type of dosage and discuss with them which dosage they would like to try.

Since you know your parents best, you could also make a recommendation on what dosage you think would suit them and their personality type best.

It's also good to sit for them in case they need assistance.

Recommend to make a playlist of music that they enjoy and will benefit the trip as well help create set and setting etc.

Good luck!

I vote for this Idea -  Also try and get them set up with the right kind of music , setting * You know what makes a good trip so share that with them .

Stay Trippy :peace:

Haha.... I'm 52 and my sons are 16 and 20. My older son started smoking weed a while back and he has a friend who sells all kinds of stuff. I've held back so far, but it's really tempting to ask him if he can get me LSD or dealer shrooms or MDMDA. I keep beer in the fridge for him and I fix him drinks every now and then so he kinda owes me. Maybe when he turns 21 I'll ask him for drugz. He's a great son, a much better man than I was at his age.

Whoa whoa whoa first off 3 grams? That may be a bit much man.

Have them read the subjective effects on this page IN DETAIL https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Psilocin

Seriously make them read it, they have to do research and this is the only site that will actually tell you the real effects of mushrooms.

Nice Universe. I can understand that temptation. My son is 10 so I've got some time before having to deal with any of that but your attitude reminds me of how my parents were. My dad told me when I was 16 that I was old enough to drink when I was comfortable enough to fix myself a drink, and drink it, in front of them. It didn't happen until I was 17 (almost 18) and started doing roofing. Came home after a grueling day and fixed myself a rum and coke to have with dinner.

Why do you say that? I had ego death when I ate an eighth my first time and I'm pretty sure most people can't handle that.

Because like Tmethyl said they are adults and at 50 have lived a good portion of life already.
This could be a one time thing for them so they have to go big or go home to make sure to get a full and long experience.
If they are chill rents then they're 100 straight for that dose.

You're absolutely insane. The older you get the less likely you are to be able to handle these things.

Someone who's in their 20s can typically handle ego death a lot easier than some 50 or 60 year old who's never tripped. Just because someone is older does not mean they can withstand more intense experiences that is such ridiculous logic.

The more developed and complex your mind becomes the more complex the trip will be. You have totally backwards thinking.

For example me and most people I know could handle tripping way easier in our teens than when we were in our 20s. It's way easier to take tons of drugs when you're young.

Ehhh maybe. Maybe not.
I've dosed 30+ times upwards to 10g and don't think I have truly experienced ego death. Or maybe I have. Who knows. So I really can't put my 2c on that.
Still hold what I said though.

I completely disagree with this. I'm 46 and have taken some pretty heroic doses of L over the last 5 years and had a stellar run with DMT. I am more comfortable now with myself and with my life and enjoy tripping now more than I ever did in my 20's

I suppose that's possible. I do also have an older friend who had never done anything but smoke pot until he was almost 50. Then tried mushrooms, mdma and lsd. Not all at the same time, but over a few months. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and can now, at times, out-pace me.

I would say it probably has more to do with someones personality and mindset.

I have other friends who tripped happily for years then stopped when they got older saying they just couldn't handle it anymore.

Thanks for all the input everyone. Much appreciated. I am way more comfortable with the idea now. I will let you all know how it goes.
Not sure when it will go down but possibly very soon.

I have figured that 5 or 6 grams in a tea shared between the two of them may be the best method. After some research of course because I can only speak from personal experience.

Personally, most, if not all, of my bad trips were the result of me not being fully comfortable in my own skin in some way shape or form. I feel like highschool would have been the worst time ever to trip Aurora.

No that's actually when tripping is the funnest because you have absolutely no worries in the world. That's why teens do dumb things because they have nothing better to do and have no real regrets yet.

1.5-2g Max if they REALLY want to try it.
Find some good resources, yt videos, documentaries, science articles if they're into heavier reading. Let them make the decision, if they REALLY want to try it without you pressuring them or anything then let them do it.

I'd even guide them through it personally if they wanted if I was you. Not in an impeding way just kinda "trip sit",that is if it goes down.

As long as they don't have any breathing/heart/mental problems they'll be fine.




Yeah they really want to try it. Well my mom does for sure. She always asks me about my trips and spiritual journeys. And I let her know its not just a cake walk. She meditates a lot as well so I think she can handle it. She asks my dad if he wants to and he says sure. He doesnt seem as crazy about it.

I dont know how I feel about trip sitting though. I would rather just have them know that they could call me and im there if they need me but I dont want to muddy up a trip between the two of them. I know etimes when I trip woth my girlfriend and me and her just want to be alone sometimes its hard to drop the hint... idk theyll prolly be fine I guess. They are both healthy and mentally stable.





You have to show them the first two documentaries in my sig(those are the trailers). PM me for details. :wink:

You're absolutely insane. The older you get the less likely you are to be able to handle these things.

Someone who's in their 20s can typically handle ego death a lot easier than some 50 or 60 year old who's never tripped. Just because someone is older does not mean they can withstand more intense experiences that is such ridiculous logic.

The more developed and complex your mind becomes the more complex the trip will be. You have totally backwards thinking.

For example me and most people I know could handle tripping way easier in our teens than when we were in our 20s. It's way easier to take tons of drugs when you're young.




All true.

Here's the difference between tripping young versus tripping older, based on my experience.

When you're young (teens-20's) you're still like a clean slate. You're still discovering things all the time. Tripping is similar to going to an amusement park or sitting your room playing with toys. You have little to no emotional baggage. The daredevil inside you enjoys the ride and you come out of it with a sense of fascination.

When you're older, you accumulate experiences and this builds up confidence which can also be thought of as a thicker ego. By the time you're in your 50's, you've dealt with a lot of serious shit that you couldn't imagine 30 years earlier. If you're tripping for the first time, this could be a problem.

Emotional baggage can be a real problem for middle aged and older people, especially if they're tripping for the first time. Regrets having to do with family and work, concerns about the future, memories of traumatic things can make a trip very difficult. Just imagine - Mom and Dad trip hard and start to think about bad shit - His job is going oversees and he may wind up out of work, the mortgage is late, that pain in his chest and that surgery he had ten years ago to fix it.. Mom starts to think about her dying parents, the miscarriage from 20 years ago, her resentment of  the time Dad cheated, and the guilt over the on-going extramarital cyber romance she's having with her high school sweetheart.

Shit could get ugly... Start your parents off on low doses just like everyone else should do.

If it weren't so cruel this would actually sound pretty funny. I'm afraid it's plenty realistic though...

And I agree from personal experience also. I'm in my 40s now and am more quickly overwhelmed in trips than I used to be in my 20s. I wish it weren't so, but what can you do about it... forcing it with high doses is not the way to go.

On the other hand.. if the parents only intend to trip once, a single time, it would be a shame to have them underdose and be stuck at a +1. Especially since after that they might convince themselves that they actually tripped while all they did was sit in the rocket on a night it never took off. But if they're open for multiple sessions, which would be best anyway, then plz do start low.

Thats truely amazing your parents want to have an experience like this weith you. I smoked DMT with my mother not too long ago and she had such a beautiful experience. She used to do mescaline,LSD and mushrooms in the 70's and has been reading about DMT for years so it was an experience she has been waiting for for almost 40 years or more since she heard of the molecule. Id let them choose how much they want to eat, I'm sure they have an idea of how powerful they are, but I guess maybe suggest they eat 3 - 3.5 gs. Where they are older and have a far better chance of discerning reality from a trip unlike a 15 year old who has little to no life experience or knowledge of psychoactive substances.

Finally gave my parents a bag of freshly picked MS cubensis today. (They refused to have dried fruits)
Currently 70 grams in their fridge wrapped in paper towel.
They had coincidentally listened to 3 hours of terence mckenna seminars on YouTube while wrapping gifts before I came over.

I told them 35 grams each would be a good dose but I think my mom is leaning more toward a solo trip while meditating.

I also suggested to prepare them by chopping them up really fine and mashing in lemon juice and letting them sit there for 15 minutes. Straining, then drinking the lemon juice mixed with warm water.
I wouldn't want them to have a stomach ache on their first trip from eating raw shrooms.

Not sure when they will decide to eat them but they are aware that the actives are slowly breaking down in the fridge so :justdontknow:

Wish them a pleasant trip

If they are going to strain it they should add the warm water then strain it to make sure all the actives are being dissolved. They should also do atleast two washes then drink them both. I never strain when i lemon tek.

I hope you are really close with your parents because that is weird, but, cool. We should all experience DMT or any psychedelic before death. Everyone's too into roller coasters, Disney world, and stuff like that.

I haven't asked them about it yet, but I'll update when I find out. They may not even have taken them due to the busy holiday season :shrug:
I may have to give them more after my next grow.
I'm very open with my parents but I definitely don't visit them as much as I should.

About six months after I started growing my parents came to me and asked about tripping. They could see that it had made me noticeably happier.

I was really pleased that they did their own research. It was really surprising because my parents were also squares when raising me. They never drank or smoked while I was growing up.

I have tripped with them a few times since then and they seem to have a natural tolerance like I do. I keep having to up their dosage each time by at least a couple grams. I started them out at 3.5

The first trip we just ate them fresh. The second and third trip we did lemon tek, no straining.

I believe they are ready for higher doses, they had no questionable moments of paranoia. I played them some mellow 60s/70s music and we happily reminisced about our lives.

Now as for some of my friends, they are in fetal positions speaking nonsense if I gave them a dose like that. Everyone is different. My parents are blessed I suppose.

You are one of the lucky ones, OP. Being able to share this experience with your parents is quite memorable and enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing that with me.
I have a small theory that people naturally reach a sort of psychedelic state over the years which could explain higher tolerance. After all a trip is mostly just a drastic shift in perspective anyway. If you practice enough you can reach that state at any given time
