1 whole month without tripping

For a while I have been tripping about every 2 weeks and for the most part it’s been good. The shrooms have had a lot to say and with what is going on with the world I really feel my experiences have given me an insight that all of my peers don’t have access to. The issue I have ran across is out of the last 4 trips I have had, 1 was really good. The rest have been very apocalyptic to say the least. Considering what’s going on in the world, I guess it’s par the course. So I decided to wait a full month instead of 2 weeks. Of course the first 2 weeks were easy, the last 2 weeks have been really hard. I have longed to be in hyperspace and I have found myself daydreaming about it. Weird huh?
Anyway I’m coming up on my 4 weeks and I’m either going to trip Saturday night or wait till Thurs night. Vacation starts next Friday. Hopefully I will have a good set and setting this weekend. I have been avoiding the news as much as possibly and I have been watching a lot of science and philosophy videos on YouTube. I hope this helps. With all of the shit going on in the world have some of you guys taken a break from tripping or are pushing on. I hope this break has helped with mine. Pleasant trips my friends

One month isn’t really what I would call much of a break. IME, when my trips got bad/a broken record, I needed to take real time off to work on things in order to get to a point where the trips become fresh & rejuvenating again. A month sure as shit did not cut it. More like several months, and in some cases years. Just my 2 cents....

As someone who advocates using mushrooms as a tool for personal growth I'd say keeping the number of trips you have a year in the single digits and spacing them put as much as possible is very beneficial. Personally only trip 4 or 5 times a year.

Yeah the news is wicked fear mongering, great that you have the sense not to poison yourself with it OP. The adverts are almost as bad for your psyche. Merchants of doubt and insecurity. There's a lot going on and people want reassurance, that doesn't generate anywhere as many views though. Even here at our hallowed shroomery the media has cut so many to the core and poisoned them.
I totally identify about daydreaming about tripping too. These days I've slowed down. Only twice last year and maybe five times already this year. The year before last I didn't trip at all. I totally get tripping regularly though. There's been years I've tripped pretty much every weekend and still wanted more. I say if you really want to and you feels safe just do it. If it gets weird just stop. You can generally feel your way through, no need to abstain against your will or worry. Mindfulness.
If I focus inwards I can sense whether it's okay or not to trip. I can see right past hesitation, desire and other conflicts. I've ignored that answer before for whatever reason with mixed results. Much better at hearing my base line rather than the noise now. It's funny, I've abandoned planned trips because I didn't like the response when I checked myself but have been doing stuff like reading or watching movies and checked myself and thought "oh yeah, great idea!" and gone and dosed immediately.
I checked myself right now just out of curiosity. Would be great to trip  Unfortunately I've got stuff to do today. Maybe later, maybe not. Will have to see how complicated my day becomes. Some acid would be a fine idea. Hmmmm.

I'll echo what others have said and say that whenever I started falling into weekly trips, the experience lost a certain magic, and unpleasant experiences increased, not only because of tolerance but I think because as in daily life, tedious repetition of any behavior can be a breeding ground for neurosis.
A significant break always seemed to guarantee me a great experience almost as if the entities themselves appreciated me more if I wasn't constantly visiting them. It's the same with people. You'll appreciate each other much more and have a better healthier relationship if you don't spend too much time in each other's company. Or at least that is how it is for me...
I think it always helps to ask the question: If psychedelics truly are such a transformative life-changing experience what need other than simple boredom is there to do them all the time?

I've taken plenty of long breaks over the years, including one 10 year stretch. But this summer I've been tripping more than once a week and it's been fantastic (increasing dose for tolerance). The state of the world doesn't seem to make any difference at all - I've found you can't let that shit into your trips or they go all wonky. But I would never put a particular span of time out there as a needed break, or even an interval for that matter - the mushrooms will call again when you're ready for them and that's the most reliable indication.
FWIW IME past a certain point breaks don't matter either - they're just times when you weren't tripping.

I struggled at the start of the lockdown. There was something really weird about my set. Can’t put my finger on it. But had my first proper bad trip in 30 years. So I’ve had months and months off. Tripped last Friday and it was pretty cool. No lockdown negative setting shite or anything. And my summer house is finished! 4 months. That’s been stressful. But life goes on, and tripping is wonderful, I dream about it. Have done for 35 years.

Mush love people DJ Ed

And the trip was from frozen fresh using your tea method 
My god 1:50 citric acid makes it really intense and really clean; come up started really fast after 15 minutes, peaking right up to the 3 hour mark, then a rapid come down. Stayed up for hours afterwards listening to chemical brothers, Hawkwind, Pink Floyd. Yep, tripping is always special.
No fter glow though; must add an extra ice cube next time
