Glad to hear you chose what you believed to be right for you and your family!

If anything, make some capsules and take them with you in a vitamin bottle.

But the break will be good. Think how incredible your trip will be when you return.

And nothing wrong with a little healthy obsession. Some people have a healthy obsession to exercise and we generally think that’s a good thing. Some “obsessions” are good and, like exercise, if mushrooms are improving your health, mental or physical, then there’s nothing wrong with it. Plus you showed that you can make the important decision and put it down for your family so you’re golden.



As always, Socrateshroom, I always appreciate your input. When I read your comment last night; “yes do it”, my heart sank as I had just resolved not to take the dose. So I then tasted one; my plan was because of the late hour, I just wanted to get on with it so broke the mushrooms up and left to soak in lemon juice. I was going to eat them, Lemon Tek style, whereas I always do tea. I’d reckoned that it would be quicker not having to boil the mushrooms then wait for them to cool. But The taste of that first mushroom almost made me gag. So they all went in the bin there and then.

I’m glad I didn’t break my wife’s trust. I spoke to her about it this morning, hoping she’d be really appreciative of my decision, but she was like, oh n o I wasn’t bothered! But I still feel good I “resisted” the urge.

So no I’m not addicted, but I am definitely obsessed. You put it into such great words, though, Socrateshroom. Thank you; feeling flush and warm about myself today ✊🏻

So anyway, Shroomery, the plot thickens..........

So far:

I have pondered whether to trip last night after telling my wife I was taking a break.

Then last week I broke that after 1 week off Nd had 2.5g dry while my wife was out driving my daughter and her friend various places.
So last night would be one week before I go away and I felt the draw.
Almost dosed at the last minute, but resisted.
Felt pretty flush with myself this morning.
But my wife was non-plussed.

Anyway, this afternoon my eldest son and his girlfriend were on their way down from Scotland to stay over and catch up. They’ve just cancelled, due to our bad weather.

So I’m back almost at square one. So I’ll pose the question again:

Should I trip tonight?

Here’s my rationale:

  • I’m not addicted, but I am quite obsessed, and love the psychedelic headspace.
  • I will be having extended breaks up to 6 months from here.
  • Ive been open Nd honest with wifey, and she wasn’t too non-plussed anyway.
  • My daughter is now on a sleepover and therefore no other commitments tonight.


Only slight issue is that I used the last of my B+ stash last night, which ended up in the bin. So all I have left are some dubious MS Golden Teachers (ok) and Ecuador (awful). Potency not as strong as the B+, so would 3G be unreasonable? I suggest 3G because the 2.5g last week was more psychedelic than expected, so would be all I require for “one last trip”.

What do you reckon, guys?

Mush love
DJ Ed

p.s. For what it’s worth I considered all your feedback last night before going with the majority, and my heart, and deciding against.......

If you have to ask us if you should trip then you probably shouldn't. :shrug:

Seems like it's not the right setting / time. The doubts might overcome you and overpower the good feelings.

I think there is truth to that but not always the case. I know when my ego is trying to convince me not to take a dose, even if circumstances are perfect, I come here and ask if I should take it or do something else to get validation about my decision. Doesn't always mean that my doubt will cause hardship.

If you don't have to worry about your daughter and you don't plan on spending time with your wife before you leave, and she doesn't care, I'd say go for it. (Although, since you leave for a while, I'd recommend just spending time with your wife, taking her out, etc. But I don't know the relationship you two have so I can't suggest either way).

If you do decide to take it, I'd say take a proper enough dose so you aren't wanting for more. If you know the potency is weak, I'd say take anywhere between 4-5g if you do decide to go with it.

I’m having second thoughts already; Pandemoon is right if I’m having to ask! My wife’s more important. So I’ll see how the evening pans out and go with the flow.

Mush love all

Absolutely! I'm a single guy so my advice doesn't come loaded with the experience of someone in a long committed relationship. So take my advice with a grain of salt in this matter.

But you know best and it seems your internal mechanisms are guiding you in the right direction! Enjoy your day with your wife! :cheers:

Both me and my better half (who doesn't use any drugs except the occasional puff on a joint at a party once or twice a year) have a great time if I take a lower dose... pretty much no matter what we're doing. Going out to dinner, going for hikes, working in the garden, grocery shopping... whatever.
Only caveat is that my already weak decisiveness goes straight to the pits... so she'll usually have to lead the way.

Took 11g wet yesterday for instance... started off finishing up some mushcult, then we went out to the pub, came home and had a fire with a couple friends and a couple bottles of wine. Only enough perception change to have some accentuated shadows and textures, high gloss, and more vibrancy. Loosens up my self-consciousness and makes conversation a lot easier for me. And, of course, that sweet, sweet body high. Quite the lovely day.

Of course, that all depends on the circumstances/people. We don't have children and there typically isn't too much commotion in our lives, so it's easier to find the time.

It is always my overarching advice that, if you're hesitant/uncertain, best to wait for a better time.

Thanks Socrateshroom always.

Thanks footpath. So around 1g dry. Sounds intriguing actually. Last week on the come up of 2.5g, after I’d,promised wifey I would stay lucid. Well I actually did stay lucid for the first hour and was really chatty, in loads of company. But I could see the panic in here eyes when she asked me to retire to my psychedelic room.

So I went in there, smoked a joint, laid down, closed eyes, Nd completely zoned out. When she came in about an hour later, I was no longer lucid!

But I’m convinced if I hadn’t let go to the trip that I could remain lucid throughout. Or maybe that’s just 53 year old bravado!
