Afraid to try for the first time.
    #26901542 - 08/27/20 01:52 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I grew psilocybe cubensis mushrooms for microdosing.  I took 0.13g, 0.2g, 0.16g, 0,1g, 0,1g, 0,1g, 0,1g  in June i got some positive things but mostly anxiety and quit because I started having trouble sleeping. Now i want to try to have a full trip but I'm worried about two things.
1. I grew by myself for the first time what if i did something wrong and i can get poisoned.
2.  I never tried almost any drugs. I didnt like weed. Last time i tried it many years ago. And last year i did Ayahuasca and it was very helpful but i wouldn't want to have this journey without people watching me. I know mushrooms is less intense than ayahuasca but im still worried how it can go.

Just breathe and take the plunge. I recommend 2g for starters since you haven’t gone on a full blown mushroom trip. I did 3.5g my first time when I was 16 and it was really heavy for a first time. It really opened my eyes though and after that I usually always took at least 3.5. Most I’ve done was 4g and it was intense. Would like to work my way up to 7g one day.

Make sure your home is clean and nothing is to heavy on your mind when you do them. It’s scary sometimes but once you’re in and out of it you will have more of an appreciation for the mush gods. Just take it slow, listen to music if needed, wrap yourself in a warm blanket, go for a small walk outside, just feel it out.

I totally understand being scared that you have bad mushrooms, actually that’s one of the reasons I started growing them myself...to know exactly what I was getting. Given you grew them yourself and I assume from a trusted source as long as you dried them correctly you should be all good.
Post a pic of the dried mushrooms and also if you have any pics of them when they were fresh.

One reason you grow your own is to take away that fear of poisoning yourself. As long as they were sound, and then dried and stored correctly, forget poisoning.

Mushrooms not stronger than ayahuasca, are they not? I think you have a lot to learn :cookiemonster:

The recommendation of 2g is sound; you seem inex-erienced. But you will need to jump to 3.5g in a couple of weeks to get a fuller experience.

Good luck

Just start small and work your way up. There's no rule that says you can't start at 0.5 or 1.0g. If you don't like it at 1g, just know that a 2g trip will be different and 3/4/5g uniquely different still. You may find a higher or lower dose that you prefer. There is no replacement for experience.

Fridge isn't necessary IMO. A cool dark place with that jar is enough. You have the risk of humidity/moisture getting in the jar every time you take it out of the fridge.

Those look like good P. cubensis to me, hopefully you cleaned off the verm before drying and grinding (not poisonous if you didn't though).
Also remember some people get nausea, and gastro intestinal distress its a very common side effect but does not mean you poisoned yourself.

1. Breathe.  Do some deep breathing before ingesting and while you wait for them to kick in. I suggest learning Wim Hof breathing method (search youtube) a few days before your trip and do it right before.

Also take controlled deep breathes throughout the trip.

2. Surrender.  Don't resist.  No turning back.  Must let go and surrender to the experience.
3.  Love everything you see.  If you see a demon or snake or whatever, love it.  Say I love you to it.

If they do these 3 things it will reduce the chances of a bad trip tremendously.

I’ve tried different trips ranging from 0.1 - 3.5 and I also suggest just starting small however every trip and dosage is unique for me personally but similar dosages replicate similar results.

Also next time, don't grind before storing if you want them to last.  Oxygen will damage them more than anything else. (but just damage potency, nothing to worry about)

Unless packed in caps, might last longer, a lot longer.

Just take 3.5g especially if you've done Ayahuasca already...

Trust me it will be worth it
