Best trip of my life was 6g at ozzfest for iron maiden. Just dont act like a freak
I let loose and let my "weird" out when tripping at shows/festivals lol.
While I enjoy the cozy and security of tripping at home/indoors, I do dose at festivals & gatherings as well....and at times I probably do act like a "freak" lol . (Once I get going, I'm probably seen as that "one guy" that is dancing wildly and not giving any fucks about how I look lol)
There's been times where I've gone through a hefty amount of mushrooms through out a night...I also always dose LSD & mushrooms together the 2nd night of festivals/gatherings, along with lots of herb & hash.
I am totally at ease & comfortable and don't feel any apprehension when tripping and soaring high in the setting of a festival/gathering, but I feel it's more of a "tribal" setting rather than a typical "open public" setting...Lots of like minded folks gathering for music & dance (and to get weird), and almost everyone there is tripping & on the same level...I feel safe & secure when tripping at festivals/gatherings, I don't feel totally safe & secure when tripping out in the open public.

I would do it again...and I DO do it again lol....I've been working with psychedelics for a bit over 10 years now, have had probably around 250 trips over the years, and I don't ever see them not being a part of my life. Granted I don't often dose so high that I'm completely incapacitated and not able to walk around easily or communicate.
The reasons I do so....Mostly because I find the psychedelic experience and tinkering with the mind/consciousness to be super interesting, and the experience has a lot to offer (for me).
It provides lots of food for thought about my life and "reality", and my place in this life/reality...lots of reflecting on myself, my past and my future...reflecting on relationships with family & friends, my relationship with our planet...being shown things about my self and my life that I need to work on or change...Being able to view my life and "reality" with out my "self"/ego in the way, being able to view things from totally different angles/outside of "myself"...Being able to view my "self" from the eyes/view point of other people in my life.
I love to think deeply about things...and the way psychedelics open & enhance the mind is just lovely...consciousness, the cosmos, other life out in the cosmos, ecosystems and various "systems" within nature, the deep future, the distant past, I love to get lost in deep thought about all sorts of things while on mushrooms/psychedelics.
Mushrooms are also very therapeutic for me...I often release a lot of built up/bottled up emotions, helps me process & sort things out within myself...Helps one to "get over" things. Healing and restoring.
They tend to leave me very clear headed and refreshed after. My mind feels sharper and enhanced. My spirits/mood is lifted.
In some ways I view mushrooms (and all of the classic psychedelics) like a "tuning fork"...They tune up & sharpen.

Do you find that you see things differently or are changed in some aspect after the trip? To someone who has only taken low doses, taking a heroic dose of 5g+ seems to be similar to getting really drunk-one does not remember it, and oftentimes gets sick. There must be a net gain from taking 5g+ doses, but I was hoping to learn what it may be.
I don't think I had one single individual trip that "changed" me....but over the years of working with mushrooms, and the other classic psychedelics, they have absolutely played a major role in shaping me into who I am today. It's a lot to elaborate on.
One doesn't need to take big doses of mushrooms to reap benefits or gain something from the experience.
I feel most benefit/gain comes from working with the mushroom over a period of time and building a "relationship" of sorts, like tripping once a month or every two months or at least several times through out the year for a while, and not from a single big dose....but sure, some folks could definitely have a "life changing" experience from one single trip/big dose.

It depends on the setting. I can handle an concert or even a longish movie in a theater but I have to be distracted like that and for a long time - at least until I peak. I can walk around in public but communication is impossible even going into a store to try to by water or something is a monumentally challenging task.
If you are talking so high there is a loss of ego forget it. Communication with the general public is going nowhere. I like to be in nature by myself or with a trusted companion or two.

I ended up just eating the shrooms at home, hoping my wife wouldn't come downstairs while I was on it. I brewed and drank 3.5 g worth. For the rest of the night, it seemed any other effects I experienced were overshadowed by nausea, even though I also took some ginger pills. Colors were brighter, and when I looked at my face in the mirror, it would mildly change shape. No loss of ego. A bit of concern that my wfe would come downstairs, which she didn't. I have about 15 g left of dried shrooms packaged in capsules and am not sure if I want to trip again, given the nausea. I have been wanting to do 5 g in the dark, but that probably will not happen. Maybe it would be best to try 2 g in a setting like a beach in FL with a buddy of mine. Thanks for all of your comments.

If your nausea is gas-related, I can't recommend Gas-X enough-- whenever I take shrooms I always take one or two-- they do an excellent job of helping to keep the bubbles that make for stomach pain stay reasonable--

Gas-X does wonders, also a low dose of Gravol can help a ton while being less sedating than DPH
