My Plan for first time trip! Pointers?
    #23844828 - 11/18/16 10:26 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hello all, as you can see I'm new here but have been reading the site for quite a few weeks and it is very helpful.

Im very much a 'planner' haha, so I thought I'd run it by you guys :smile:
I have recently picked what I believe are Liberty Caps from a location near me (they are known to grow in abundance in my area). I have approx 3 grams dried, from about 30g fresh. I dried them in a covered box indoors, in a warm spot over about 24 hours, then immediately placed them in the freezer in a sealed tub. Theyve been there for 2 weeks now.

My plan, from reading on here etc, is to take between 1.5 and 2g ground coarsely and taken with juice or whatever. I know Libs are pretty potent, assuming I havent ruined them by drying etc. I am hoping to experience up to a Level 3 trip (too much for first time?)

Activities wise, I have a short list in my head which includes a playlist with some good, relaxing tunes, some nice trancey stuff and some trip hop, Bonobo etc. I may simply turn off the lights, draw the curtains and lay and listen :smile:

If the weather's decent I may take a walk out very local (I live on a hill in a fairly quite area of the countryside with amazing views on a good day). If not, I have read that nature programs (I love Attenborough) can be a great thing to watch.

I might keep a pen and pad handy incase I want to write anything down or get creative.

Showering, I'm told is GREAT!

Background: I have in the past suffered with depression and more recently some sort of anxiety, however by preparing well I hope to overcome this and enjoy it as a great experience. I know I will be nervous, and was wondering if drinking a beer or small glass of whiskey before coming up would be a bad idea to calm the nerves (im not talking about getting hammered)!

So, how does all the above sound? Any suggestions or alterations to point out?
Cheers!

Welcome to Shroomery!

Sounds like you got a plan. 1.5 to 2 grams dried is good, I've had liberty caps before and honestly found them to be no more potent than the cubes in my area but apparently people disagree. Maybe the cubes around here are just very potent I dunno.

I wouldn't say level 3 is too much, my first shroom trip ever was a level 4 though and that was definitely too much. I'd say most trips in general are a level 3 so it will basically be a normal trip if you get to that.

I'm not sure who told you that about the shower lol. I've heard some weird stories of people semi-freaking out while tripping in the shower.
That would personally be too weird for me I think, I'd feel like an alien in a waterpark or like I'm some weird organism in some cleaning facility.

Lol not really sure what to tell you about the mirrors. That might be one of the only part of the psychedelic experience that I don't really have an opinion on or haven't made up my mind on.

Everyone will probably tell you a different answer but imo I don't think there's any real reason to avoid mirrors. People say the main reason I think is because you might see your face do a weird thing like morph and it might freak you out but I can't really imagine how it would.

I like showers on psychs, don't worry about mirrors they have never bothered me. I usually look a little disheveled but idk if I actually do or I think I do because I'm tripping.

Any pointers on the drinking alcohol? Im not going to get hammered, I'm just anticipating needing the nervous edge taking off, with a small glass of good whiskey or a beer beforehand. I hate smoking, so weed isn't really a good option for me.

Sounds like you've considered and planned enough to have a good safe trip.

Fruit and chocolate are great to nibble on. Silence is great too, of course the right music is amazing.

Only thing I'd really think to mention is that if you never hunted or dried mushrooms before, that is something you have to be sure about. That drying method sounds like shit, a warm place for 24 hours? Mushrooms have to be cracker dry to preserve. If bent slightly they snap. If they have any moisture at all I would throw them away. Also properly dried mushrooms do not need to go in a freezer, a plastic bag will store them for years.

I've stared into my eyes a few times on 5g Cubensis doses and it was fine.

I would totally avoid alcohol your firt trip- alcohol is a depressant. You don't want that.

I would strongly recommend against mixing alcohol with mushrooms especially if it's your first time but do what you want.

Alcohol will for sure dull the psychedelic effects though.
I just honestly see no reason to add to the possible stomach discomfort from shrooms and I know many people will think this is ridiculous or irrational but mixing a literal poison with the mushroom just seems disrespectful or at the very least in poor taste.

Cheers guys. I didnt mention that they were cracker dry when i put them in the freezer. Surely the freezer won't have harmed them if they are good and dry?

If they are dry, but it usually takes 24 hours in a dehydrator to get them that way. If they aren't 100% dry then the water will expand when in the freezer and tear apart the mushroom tissue.

I dry a lot of mushrooms, "24 hours in a warm spot" does not yield cracker dry mushrooms.

That's why 99% of cultivator uses a food dehydrator. Bend the stems, if they bend without snapping, I would not eat them. If they snap, good to go down the hatch.

Haha cheers for the advice. They were certainly VERY dry when i put them in the tub, ie stems snap easily before bending, and the caps cracked into bits in the same way a dry cracker does if handled to heavily. I would call them 'cracker dry' myself. Just had quick look at them in the freezer, they look just the same as when i put them in, and sound the same when shaken lightly in the tub (if that makes sense?)
Hopefully they'll be fine!
