First time shrooming at Halloween party- need advice please

I have decided to do shrooms tomorrow during a Halloween dance party. I do have a few concerns since this will be a public party rather than a house party. I am an experienced LSD tripper and I can handle it very well in crowded public settings except if I smoke weed with it; weed combined with acid sends me completely off the rails. I, however, do not want to take LSD tomorrow because it will prevent me from sleeping and I have class the next day. I will feel way too exhausted. I decided, therefore, to try shrooms instead because the trip is shorter and less exhausting. I am, however, a little hesitant because I am not at all familiar with them. I would therefore like to have a bit of advice about the shroom experience in a nightclub and how it compares to LSD in. Also, given that I am experienced with acid (I once went to an amusement park alone on a fairly good dose of LSD and had no issues except momentary disorientation at the peak), do you think I will be fine with shrooms? I will be with 2 friends who won't be tripping.

It sounds like you and me handle social gatherings very differently so take that in mind with my following advice.
I would say, and I have heard many share this sentiment, that lsd is easier to handle. If you do ingest mushrooms at a party, at least keep the dose low, low doses are obviously easier to manage, sometimes a dab will do you, sometimes not. A dab being maybe a single dried gram.
I personally have had many bad experiences when ingesting psilocybin with other people around, but this may be just for me, since I've had the same thing happen with lsd, though like I said its easier to avoid with lsd.
But if you're just comfortable with the people you're with or comfortable with being around people you don't know well, then you should be fine I would think.

id rather take lsd for a social event.
shrooms tend to be more shamanic and immerse you deeper into the experience. With me at least. So shrooms are more for alone time where i can really dig deep into myself.
although low dose mushrooms should be fine.

Do you think I run the risk of engaing in strange, inappropriate beavhiour? That's my biggest conern. I am quite a closed-in, reserved individual who very much keeps to themselves, but I am concerned about losing control over behaviour.

Unless you're going high dose you should be able to maintain social composure. You might think weird things but you shouldn't do anything that weird at least not anything beyond your control.

Shrooms can also keep you from sleeping. They can also be a very exhausting trip, with very repetitive patterns and time distortion effect making a 4 hour trip feel like 8. I really don't recommend your first shroom trip be vulnerable to the public.
I have had good and bad experiences tripping in public, but had tripped many times before in private. One of the best was at an electronic rave fest (easy to blend in if trippin, cause everyone else is too lol), weak trip with 2 g dry. Worst was at a public theme park (not so easy to blend in) strongest trip of my life with 20g wet made into tea split with a friend.
If you do decide to, go very very light on your dose...

Halloween 1981, my 18th birthday.. I was a freshmen at the University of Hartford. A big dead-head tripping place. EVERYBODY tripped on Halloween. It was so bazaar. It was a Saturday night there were parties going on in every single dorm. LSD, Grain alcohol punch, and plenty of weed. I decided to be a hippie, which meant putting on my dashiki shirt. I looked like Tommy Chong. Ended up at the end of the night rolling around in bed with a girl who was a bumble bee. What a great night.

Its no easier to sleep after shrooms than LSD. Me and my girl had some fun last week, she did 2.5g Psilocybe Cyanescens and I did 10 hits of LSD (LSD sucks these days, so under-dosed) and neither of us could sleep afterwards.
In my opinion, LSD is much more recreational than shrooms. Shrooms are much more of a spritual experience, whereas LSD is just plain old fun.

So I have in total 2.6 g of unknown species, pretty much dry (a little spongy). Is it possible to start with 2 g and re-dose a bit later or will that be a waste of shrooms?

personally I'd take the .6 first and if that sat well with me I'd take the rest.

I would keep the dose no more than 1 gram especially if you're the only one tripping. The costumes and other social things might fuck with your trip. If you must do a higher dose, keep Xanax on you in case you want to end it.

Thanks for the advice. I will take half of what I have and see. Personally, I have found weak acid trips to be very annoying and frustrating (you get the excess stimulation which I don't like, and not enough of the psychedelic effects- it's like you downed 10 shots of expresso but aren't going anywhere), but shrooms, so I hear, are not so stimulating like acid. I'd rather ere on the side of caution with them in any case. What do you guys think about dancing on shrooms? Is it enjoyable?

Don't eat anything at least 3 hours before your trip. You can get nausea from shrooms. I highly recommend making the tea it will be a lot smoother and eliminate nausea

Hmmm, well I've changed my mind. For this occasion, I will stick to what I know best even...I don't want to deal with potential nausea and general unpleasantness. I'll try the mushrooms in a better setting.

Good call. I can handle crouds on acid no problem but when I'm on mush I can't handle being around anyone who isn't also tripping. Drunk people are especially insufferable. When you do finally take them do all 2.6 at once. it's really not that much. I find low dose trips to be unpleasant moste of the time.

Didn't really read other replies but I'm sure they all go something like "You might freak the fuck out on mushrooms in public like I would." Be careful and go low dose if you're gonna go for it. I can't handle mushrooms around others except for special circumstances.
