Help: anxious friend - should I give her mushrooms?
    #26426401 - 01/10/20 12:14 PM (4 years, 19 days ago)

Hey, quick, possibly rather dumb one:
I promised my friend mushrooms tonight, but she’s been saying she feels very anxious and a bit depressed today (she suffers from some bad anxiety sometimes) - should I still give her mushrooms? Me, it helps my anxiety, but I don’t know whether it’s safe giving it to her...
HELP, please?

The answer is yes, but only if you’re up for being her guide. You gotta create a good set & setting and her anxiety will dissolve, not to be seen again for at least a week or two.

In a word. No!

Try her with some lemon balm tea, see how she calms down first.

Good,luck,
DJ Ed.

“Try her with some lemon balm tea” - yeah right :/ knowing her, if I promised her shrooms and, instead, gave her tea, she’d probably throw it at my face and scald me pretty badly -.-‘
Chocolate might be a better option... maybe... hopefully at least...

Sorry fella, think I need to explain!

Dosed 3.6g dry GTeachers tonight. But they’re obviously poor genetics. I’m getting something, but not what I’d say is a trip! A few things are off though: poor mushroom genetics, first time I’ve dried mushrooms in a dehydrator, had a strong coffee beforehand, nd infused the mushroom tea with lemon balm tea (which I’ve never tried before)

I now have headache dude. The lemon balm has definitely calmed me down, ie come up anxiety. That’s why I suggested that. Kicks in in 15mmins.

If she’s like me, the come up anxiety can be quite overwhelming for a first timer, nd if she’s anxious to begin with, thought it might just enhance that anxiety. Usually when you peak, the anxiety goes, but for a first timer, who knows.

Good luck,
DJ Ed

p.s. My iPad screen is really bright!1

I believe everyone has a weird anxiety thing with the comeup. Shit, even right before I take my dose my anxiety is pretty high. This is normal imho. She may feel anxious and feel like she does not want to do it - but just like myself, I'm usually always glad I did.. and ironically always wish I had taken more.

I just deal with the anxiety with breath work and trying to keep the positivity to an all time high - whether it be music or just looking at something calming. If I didn't take mushrooms every time I had anxiety prior, I wouldn't know what a mushroom trip is:lol:

Just because things seem a little off prior to tripping, doesn't always mean things will be off intra-trip. This also works the other way around - mushrooms are just extremely unpredictable. But, in the end.. all is safe and you'll be watching over her.

Just give her a taste. 1.5/2g... make the setting as calm, cool and collective.. and let the good times roll. Easier to stay in a brighter side of mindset when someone is with you. Darker trips usually tend to happen on higher doses and while you're alone - but I guess some shitty thoughts can come roaming around on smaller doses as well - just be a good distraction in the means of helping her have a better trip. Laughter, good music.. maybe go and buy some chocolate and snacks and taste the difference between some of your favorite foods while tripping!!

That's always been a good time. Nothing like a big glass of ice water and a bunch of snacks to taste test while rolling dick:lol:

I'm sure all will be fine - just don't be stupid.. and I have a feeling you won't be because your intentions are being shown through this thread.

Good luck!!
:cheers:

A little alcohol buzz goes a long way to easing that anxiety during come up I don't meen get drunk just a good buzz really helps the whole process your first couple times until you get a feel for what's going on. Just my opinion but it helped me a lot

Mmm idk. Shrooms tend to overpower any “attitudes” one has. ESPECIALLY that first trip. There’s nothing like it, really

NO. Unless you give .5-1g ONLY! And I DO NOT suggest you do that. There may underlying mental stresses and issues you or her know about that can be brought out by the mushroom trip. She is not you, and you are not her. Why are all these people thinking mushrooms can cure all these mental ailments? They ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE!

Cures my anxiety like a charm, at least for a few days🤷🏻‍♂️

1.5-2g is super euphoric too, compared to higher doses.

Benefits>Risks IF he’s a good sitter.

I have her 1g and we’ve been laughing nonstop for hours, bit stressed here and there because she’s worried she might not be able to sleep but nothing unmanageable, so far so good :laugh:

I was going to say a gram would be perfect maybe 1.5, when you look at the studies regarding psilocybin research, pretty much noone has any anxiety or extreme fear from low doses of shrooms.

Idk my first psychedelic experience consisted of me driving 1000 miles across the country in my convertible with my best friend to go to a concert in a cave and we popped a few shrooms and a tab of acid after camping in mammoth caverns the night before and hiking at a few waterfalls before the rave. it was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I'm glad I held it in an almost ceremonious fashion. not saying everyone should, but waiting your whole life to do something just to half ass it with some dude in his apartment is lame as shit no need to take a ton of shrooms to exacerbate that experience. Grams perfect
