First trip EVAH! 1

Ok, I have PTSD and anxiety. Wanted to try Pharmaceutical Ketamine but too expensive. Read that Mushrooms are capable of the same results. Couldn't find mushrooms in my area so I ordered some cube spores from Sporeworks.com and received 4 syringes of "golden teachers". Successfully cultivated the spores in to useable mushrooms, dried them and there they sit. I am too scared! No one I know has any experience with them and this is uncharted territory for me. figure when I do try it will be lemon tek with powered mushrooms. I guess my first question is, "if *&*!@*%^#@ said they are GT's then are they in fact GT's? The mushies I grew are my avatar pic. I was considering a 2.5g first dose as I am rather large and I have also a high tolerance to most drugs. Any advice?

Don't do powdered lemon tek your first time... Just do a water extraction aka mushroom tea. 2.5g sounds a good place to start. set aside your expectations and take the proper time to be ready mentally for anything

Make sure you have some calming music on standby so if you do get a bit too anxious you won't have to worry about finding something to put on; can just press play. Make sure it's music you actually enjoy though. Some 'music for relaxation' mix on youtube isn't going to help if you can't stand that sort of music usually lol

My experience:
I'm past 50. Last year I did mushrooms for the first time. I never did any drugs. To date, I have not done weed, even though it is legal here now. I only drink alcohol in moderation (1 or 2 beers). If someone had offered me mushrooms before, I would have probably refused. But I've been dealing with depression my whole life (probably some PTSD as well). I was at the point I was barely able to do my job because of depression. First time I did less than one gram. It offered much needed relief. When I tried 2 g the constant yawning was very annoying but I felt better the next day. 3.5 g were physically uncomfortable (leg cramps and yawning). I tried then 2 g in tea tek again. Drank half of it only. And drank the other half an hour later. It was much better and almost no annoying yawning. I didn't want to use them "too often". Last time it was 4 months without taking them. At that point I realized I was foolish to wait so long until I slipped back into depression (not as bad as before but still enough to impair my enjoyment of life and work). My wife is the only person who knows I take them. When I told her that maybe I shouldn't wait so long to take mushrooms again she was like, "duh! Why do you wait so long if it is helping you a lot!". I somehow still wish I didn't have to depend on them. But antidepressants don't really work for me, one needs to take them every day and they have many undesired side effects. I don't have a sitter or friend. Always alone with my dog. But starting with 1 g is very safe and nothing gets out of control. Latter you can increase the dose and experiment.
Also look for information about tripping safely at tripsafe.org
Good luck. You'll be fine my friend. Avoid reading or watching the news a few days before your trip. Instead watch funny things, inspirational videos, music. Avoid anything that would unnecessarily increase your stress or put you in a mindset that makes you focus in the negative.

so just soak 2.5g in 140F water for 20 minutes and then slug it back? Why not lemon tek and thank you for the advice!

Lemon tek comes on even faster than tea. Generally, for your first time, it's best to aim for a slower come up so you adjust to the new feelings and sensations.

Getting ready to enjoy a campfire and some Enya maybe. Thank you for that. I will try to report back as my experience progresses.

This is my one hour check back. I feel a little rubbery, thought I saw everything in my vision slip low and to the left like everything was on a sheet. It snapped right back and I started yawning A LOT! I consumed it in mint tea. 140f. was that to hot? did I break it lol? anyway about to go chill and watch a movie. feels like I could sleep. Maybe it will ramp up later. I will check back

Yawning means it's working.
Even a gentle first time with sight trip is a good result.
Just relax and go with it bud.

So I wonder if my tea was a little to warm. The other people I was with were having a fantastic time. Laughing, visuals and introspection. They all consumed lemon tek. My experience was different, weaker if you will. I stayed rubbery for the rest of the evening. Very calm and rubbery. Also felt "at peace" all evening long. I was disappointed that I didn't have a more vivid experience but the experience I had was positive and notable. I felt good, my body was comfortable like wearing a fluffy blanket fresh from the dryer. coordination was a sketchy thing. Felt drunk but I wasn't. I know that sounds weird but its the only way I can explain it. I will most certainly do that again. I will adjust tek and dose like cooking a steak, until I reach my desired level of doneness! Thanks everyone for hanging with me. Until next time...

Glad to hear you had a good introductory experience! That sounds like 2.5g if you are a heavy dude. Boiling water can't degrade the active substances, you have to get much higher heat for that. Go 3.5g next time. also did you chop up the mushrooms good into the water and stir sufficiently? I am a little jealous of that mushrooms by the campfire experience, as I haven't had them in such a setting

Are you taking medication at all OP? That can stop shrooms working.
