I'm gonna drink my blue juice I made from what I was able to salvage from my pan trays. It's only 6g fresh, but that should be enough I think to at least feel takeoff. I can always take a booster

It's weird for me. If I plan on tripping, I get lots of anxiety about it. Things like where will I be, who will be there, and what will I have to put up with. The last thing I want to do is end up stuck in a scenario I don't want be but can't get out of (example: at someone's house listening to shitty music or watching a terrible movie and I didn't or came with others). I want to have every aspect not really planned but limited to a certain "vibe" I guess. However, if I'm out n about hiking or riding or paddling with my dog, or even just about to ride home from work and the mood hits me, I have no problems gulping down a small handful and seeing where to night takes me. Hell I even had a patch of AA+ growing by a creek where I worked and would pick some on smoke break and distribute them to my employees that I felt deserved some recognition or reward. I've been lost on my bike at night with no gps in the some bad parts of some cities and totally fine but also feel trapped and anxious because someone near me won't stop watching the same 10second video on loop on their phone with the sound on 100.
Knowing I react like this I can sorta make changes as needed and control my reactions and emotions a little better now to not let surroundings determine my experience, but yeah I completely understand the anxiety that come along with it even if the source of that anxiety may differ.
Anyway, sorry to write of novel about not confessions.
I confess this (last) year kicked my proverbial teeth in. Having lost my house, my career, and much more beyond count, my main reason for not giving up right now is mush cult. I tried to head out to the forests last summer but family emergency kept me around into late fall and I felt it was unfair and unsafe to head out with my dog without enough time to prep for winter. Being stuck here at least until spring, I decided to start back up and it's the only reason I have right now to stay.

amen bro same here. less often tho since i started only eating pans. but the thing i use to get nervous about the most was when i would eat cubes i really worried about if it was gnna be enjoyable and great or if it was gnna be 5 hrs of agony doubled over in pain from a horrid gut ache while completely clinched up on the inside from the extremely uncomfortable body load. that worried me more than anything. a physical bad trip i guess id call it. but i also worried about if somethin terrible was gnna happen or not and i still do. thats why i shut off the phone and kill all the lights in the house. i do not want anyone to be able to contact me with bad news lol so even after all the times and years of use i still always get apprehensive durin the come up phase but once its full force that all goes away now

@Dr. Mario If Iโm getting ear popping, yawns, pressure in the head, chances are I didnโt eat enough. Those are things I notice on threshold doses not on bigger doses. I notice youโre saying youโre on an SSRI. That will inhibit the effects of the actives and massively increase your tolerance. What might normally be a big dose for a person will likely have little more than threshold effects when on a SSRI.
Iโm not saying stop taking the meds your doctor prescribed, not at all. But you should be aware of the interaction between Psilocin and the medication youโre taking.

A lot depends on the dosage, persons metabolism, etc. But I do know ssri build up and take time to clear and not everyone will react the same. SSRIโs can also have serious interactions with other drugs, itโs very important to do proper research with them. MDMA for instance can cause serotonin syndrome if taken with SSRIโs. Iโm not a doctor but I do know many doctors will assume no one takes recreational drugs when theyโre on SSRIโs, naive as that may be.

For me the ssri took a few weeks to leave my system back at a normal baseline. I kept eating 3.5g of the same cubes to check and see how it would work. After my third or fourth dose I found myself feeling the full effects.
But yeah, don't stop taking it. Serotonin syndrome is real and its a fucking pain in the ass.

I've been wondering about what will happen now that I'm taking that stuff. Tonight will be the first trip since I started the medication. Its a really small dose (5mg) buspar every 12 hours. I tried looking into the topic and found mixed things. Some people saying it will increase tolerance, others saying it will be less euphoric and increase visuals etc. I do have a very fast metabolism and supposedly the half life of this particular ssri is 2.5 hours.

I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you. Take a comfortable dose and then take more later if you want.

I appreciate that roarkell. I don't want that to come off as complaining but rather a testament to the hobby, and this community. I'm still growing indoors and I'm talking to you good folk through the tubes so life could be a lot worse. Still, I do much appreciate the kind words.

Zoloft was one the worst things I ever did to myself. That stuff made me so sick. Didnโt take my meds by 10am? Killer migraine. Felt like everything was a dream world, killer migraine. Best feeling ever was weening off it finally. Iโll just stick to xanax for anxiety and even that I havenโt renewed my script for in over a year

I was pretty skeptical and against any antidepressant when my doc asked if I was willing to try this stuff. Things were weird at first. The first week I got headaches every time I took it. That mellowed out and I don't get them anymore. The weirdest part was I would get this euphoric vibration in my brain and body. It would come all at once and be gone just like that. Kinda felt like getting electrocuted with happy stuff. I've felt the same thing in the past from high doses of cubes. Makes me wonder if it's a rapid release of serotonin or somethin.

I confess I've been slacking and didn't even realize it... between everyone getting patched up and all the LAGM craziness this place has been popping! I'm keeping up, streaked 48 plates today of 6 different varieties, had started 6 other new varieties 2 weeks ago and now I'm over run in the agar dept... plus a half dozen LC projects, I'm gonna be prepping grain everyday for a few weeks! These are the plates I've started in the last 72 hrs:
 Feels good to be back in the saddle! Hope everyone's new years celebration didn't end badly! And here's to a new, better year!

I confess that this RW ended up being much more potent than I anticipated. I just spent the last 3 hours trapped in some part of my mind that I didn't even know existed. That shit was terrifying and I'm pretty sure I never wanna go there again.

Yeah I know that part of the mind intimately. It doesnโt stop me cause Iโll spend a week in there over having a cluster attack. Gets less scary in time.
Sorry you had a rough time though Mario, this medicine ainโt for everyone I guess.

Man, that shit was so intense. I wish I could explain it. At one point I thought I was gonna either piss myself or bust a nut. Maybe both? Fk I dunno. All the while im inside some yellow place with a big grey sphere. There was a forest and some scary fkn thing wearing a red cloak.
I kept telling myself to open my eyes but I couldn't. It was like my body had shut down and I couldn't get it to listen to me. I'm exhausted.

Give it a day. You will find out its not as scary as it seemed. At least thats how I seen it. Its been a while since I've been there but the time I was, was eye opening to my reality.
