New Years trip questions 1

So I’m fairly new to using mushrooms. We have tripped about 5 times so far ranging from 1.5g to 5g. My girlfriend and I have used smaller doses at edm shows and larger ones at home alone. We find them very versatile for different situations. News years night we really wanted a special experience so I did 5.5g and she did 4.5g. We always just chew them up.
10 minutes after ingestion I was coming up harder than I ever had before. With way more anxiety, hmm. Within 5 more minutes I for the first time wanted it to stop. It was too intense. And then waves of negative thoughts. I was spiraling. I didn’t want to say anything to alarm my girlfriend so I kept it in. She never comes up as fast anyways, maybe metabolism? After a few more minutes I let her know that I am really struggling bad. I lay on the couch and continue to go through this gauntlet of negativity. 30 minutes in some positive thought start coming through mixed with the negative and with a little more time the trip went pure positive. I have never felt more love for people and life ever. Never felt more connected to the universe, like I was on the verge of understanding the true meaning of all extistence. I’ve also been longing for more intense visuals, and man did I have them. I seen things I could begin to understand or explain. I went from the worst experience ever into the greatest experience that I wouldn’t trade fore anything.
Now just eating the mushrooms sometimes it would take an hour to come up. Today only 10 minutes and more intense than could ever be imagined. This was strange and I didn’t understand it. Then I remember seeing a post here about intensifying a trip with lemon juice. Now I didn’t use lemon juice, but right before ingesting the mushrooms I took a 1,000mg vitamin c packet since I had been a little under the weather the last few days. I didn’t put 2 and 2 together until the next day. I think the aborbic acid in the packet had the same effect that people get with the lemon juice. Can anyone confirm that this may have been what happened? It is definitely the only variable that is different from my other trips outside of doing a half g more which I wouldn’t think would matter much once you get to 5 grams.
So now onto my girlfriends trip. My trip was so intense that we didn’t communicate much while I was in my peak from say 8pm to 10:30pm. Once I was coming back to reality I asked her how she was doing and she was disappointed. She said she never really took off and had better trips off of 2.5g that she did off of this 4.5g dose. This made me sad considering I just had the breakthrough trip of my life. Now we know her metabolism is slower and it takes her longer to come up but still could figure out why she didn’t really trip hard at all. We both ate the shrooms from the same batch with equal amounts of stems and caps. Upon talking to her more she said because she didn’t like the taste she was swallowing larger pieces without chewing them up. Could this, along with a slow metabolism, caused her to get more of a slow time release without having enough pcilocibin for an intense trip? All I can think to do is grind her stuff up finer so her body can break in down quicker? Maybe she should try a 1,000 mg vitamin c pack before ingestion next time? Any other tips for people with slower metabolisms? Differences between women and men in terms of dosing? I out weigh her my 50lbs so she always says she wants to do less than me but with her metabolism I think maybe she should have more than me. Any insights?

The vitamin c you took was just like drinking orange juice or lemon tek. Of late, I have been drinking Concord grape juice or cranberry/grape with the shrooms grounded up and mixed with it. I start feeling it in 15 to 20 minutes, so what you describe is not to far off from what I experience. I also fast about 6 to 8 hours also.
I have found that with higher doses I have the negative thoughts and emotions with the come up. Mediation is your best ally. Especially if you are smoking cannabis in the mix. Practice mediation techniques before you start tripping, that way you are ready.
On you’re girlfriend’s experience, there are a lot of variables. Is she on prescription meds, her state of mind and potency of the shrooms could come into play also.

The come up sucks. Thats why I always do lemon tek tea. To just get the show going.
