Advice on how to re-introduce a friend to psilocybin
    #26410651 - 01/01/20 09:15 AM (4 years, 28 days ago)

Happy new year, people.

I managed to touch base over the holidays with an old friend. On many trips I’ve often wished he was there experiencing it with me. I had told him about my move from SSRIs to psilocybin 3.5 years ago and sent him loads of my research hoping he’d join me. He never did.

But when we met up again a few days ago, he was very inquisitive about mushrooms. He had not touched them in over 25 years since a very bad trip in his early 20s! Sound familiar?

So anyway, he is interested again, so I want to show him the power of psychedelics, but in a safe and secure loving environment with great music. My wife will sit (upstairs out of the way unless needed). I want him to see the potential, but not take him so far he doesn’t come back again to mushrooms.

I take regular 3.8g dried Ps Cubensis B+ doses and they are always very intense trips. I recognise this intensity may be my growing experience. It can feel “heroic”, but I don’t think I ever lose control to the point it becomes overly-scary.

So I was thinking his first dose should be about 3.5g dry. He is about 200lbs, I’m about 125lbs, but don’t believe this should affect the dose.

Any thoughts on my plans, nd my hopes? I intend to trip with him on the same dose.

Many thanks for your thoughts,
DJ Ed

less is best. if they're trying to get back into psyches I wouldn't want to give them too much and cause them to get scared again. ease em' into the pool don't push them off the high dive.

I find 2g night trips on warm night with friends to be most excellent

Hey! Happy 2020!

Everyone I’ve introduced or reintroduced to this wonderful gift was always 3-3.5g cubes (average strength). This gave it the necessary strength to be a good experience but not strong enough to make anyone too uncomfortable. It was also how I was introduced to it and it was the perfect dose. Now that I have experience, I look back and am glad that I wasn’t introduced to it with anything under 3g (assuming average to slightly above average cubes. Dose should be adjusted is you have non-cubes or if your cubes are stronger).

Either way, from my anecdotal experience, I’d say 3-3.5g of average cubes since it’ll be in a safe environment with a sitter and you want him to have a full enough experience.

Good luck!

Thank you all for the thoughts. He is experienced with psychoactive substances. He introduced me to Ecstacy and we went to many raves together. We used to get stoned together. And he probably had a stupidly high dose of mushrooms (like me) in the 90s in an extremely poor setting that gave him the bad trip.

I might gauge his feelings then and be truthful that 3.5g will give him the psychedelic magic, but may also be a challenging come up. But I’ll stress that I’ll look after him. Indeed, safety in numbers really helped me in my stupid ignorant ridiculous high dose 20s! It should help my friend.

And I’ve got some great music for him. Absolutely Shpongle Are You Shpongled. And maybe to give a more cathedral-like feel to the trip, The Shaman Axis Mutatis. And I know he loves Hawkwind, so must get in Space Ritual (live is raw is awesome on mushrooms)

I’ll keep you posted; could be a few weeks....

Mush love,
DJ Ed
