First mushroom experience * 2
    #28584564 - 12/15/23 09:36 PM (1 month, 12 days ago)

So last week I took mushrooms for the first time. I took 3.5 grams and I decided to do it without telling anyone so I had no sitter. I took the shrooms at home and just stayed in my room. I figured I should stay in a place I feel safe and comfortable. I ate them shortly after noon and I just played my guitar for a little then surfed YouTube. After about an hour I started feeling weird and my body was tingling and I said "oh snap it's happening" then like 20 minutes later my eyes started seeing the room and different color shades, the pictures on my desk where all wonky and wavy. I said I guess since I wasn't used to this feeling I went and crawled into bed and just laid under the covers. I never freaked out or anything but I did my best to avoid my family cause I didn't think I would be able to talk normally. After a little bit of laying there I started getting all these deep thoughts and I just enjoyed the feeling. I put on some music and just laid there. Then that started to make me uncomfortable so I just curled up under the blanket on my side and watched the football game on that day. I started zoning out and when I came to it felt like I was in such a deep thought for like 2 hours but I only had my eyes closed for a minute or two. And that feeling made me feel so good. I started getting feelings of gratitude and love and I had this weird sensation. It might sound crazy but as I was laying there, at some point I felt like I legit was everyone on the planet. Like I was living the life of every person. I was watching the game and I felt as if I was all the players on the field, felt like I was on the field, in the stands. Felt like celebrities, strangers and so much more. It was a phenomenal feeling. It wasn't the trip I was expecting cause I didn't hallucinate that much. I'm planning on taking more and trying maybe 5-7 grams and going full trip. I can't wait!

Nice!! Sounds like a perfect first trip to me. And I love having that feeling that you describe as being everyone else. It feels like such a deep connection to all things.

Be careful with increasing your dose that much. I’d probably just go up in half gram increments from there… up to you. Just know that it can get a lot more fucked up. The difference between 3.5 and 5 grams is a lot more than the difference between 2 and 3.5g if you know what I mean.

Sounds awesome. Buddhism and Hinduism starts to creep into your life. Strange stuff.

Be sure to understand the first time is always the best. First sex, first orgasm, first drugs, etc. I'm sure you have some more good trips in you, but do not chase the dragon or keep upping the dose. That trip might be as good as it gets.

You max out at 5 grams dried so the shrooms are wasted if you go over 5 grams dried. 2 to 5 grams dried is the sweet spot. Even a 2 or 3 gram dried trip can really go insane. 5 grams dried is considered a heroic dose. A maximum dose. You get over confident and it sneaks up on you. The power and the insanity of the shroom sneaks up on in the middle of a trip. It takes a hard left turn when you least expect it. Try to have some alone time and a trip sitter.

Good luck. Be safe. Be smart. :smile:

Eh I do not think this is true. You do not max out but things can get really bizarre. I would not say you max out but you could lose control of you mind and body functions if you push hard enough.

Terence McKenna is a clown for this rubbish. People are different, to suggest that a there is a weight of mushrooms that is some sort of magic experience is stupid. Not only that, mushrooms have different strengths 5grams of what type of mushrooms is a heroic dose? Compare 5g of Psilocybe subaeruginosa to some cubensis.

Even worse is the idea that taking mushrooms has some sort of competition or has an ideal high.

Terence McKenna is a clown, his advice is for entertainment purposes not reality.

Alone time with someone else?

Actually I  have never had a trip sitter. Sure I often trip with other people but have many solo trips too. There is a lot to be said for just being alone with you thoughts, just relaxing and listening to yourself unfiltered. Tripp sitters may have there time and place I am sure, I do not think they are necessary though.

Ahh thank you for your insight! I will tread carefully. I will probably maybe going up half a gram until I feel comfortable. I definitely don't want to start tripping balls and for my family to think somethings wrong lol that was something I got paranoid about. In regard to the feeling of being connected to everything and everyone was absolutely amazing. I'm so glad there are people like you who can relate to such an experience and know what I'm talking about!

Yes I will be careful with using my dose. I probably won't do 5 grams right away anymore. But you are right. I legit said the same thing to myself before I ate them. I said "enjoy your first time, there's nothing like your first time" lol

It's funny you say this because Terrance is the one that gave me the push to go and actually try mushrooms. Obviously I don't take what is says at face value, like everyone else, but I think he does have a lot of good points in certain areas of mysticism. However, I was under the impression that 7 grams was considered a heroic dose so thats why I thought 5 grams would be a safe bet but not I've reconsidereds and decided to work my way up slowly. In regards to the trip sitter. I agree it wasn't necessary. At least for me. Im glad I went about it alone and was in tuned with myself and my thoughts

I think some of what Terrance says can ring true for people getting into psychedelics and most of what he says is harmless enough and even sounds reasonable. I personally think that some of what he says is just said for entertainment sake and should not be taken seriously. Furthermore some of what has said is just stupid.

This heroic dose 5grams in silent darkness is just some bullshit weird flex. Sure I understand that some people may benefit from a experience like that. Though I think a lot of people can delude themselves with some wonky self diagnosis.

You should do what is good for you. Take it slow, be kind to yourself and others, try not to get sucked into the psychedelic mumbo jumbo.

This makes a lot of sense. I can see how a lot of things he talks about can be for entertainment purposes only. I've only listened to maybe 3 of his lectures so I'm definitely not a firm believer of his words or some kind of blind follower. I like hearing about some of his experiences though, especially on DMT. They sound wild.

I also don't see the benefit for me personally to trip in total darkness in a quiet room. I feel like I'd just be super paranoid so I didn't take that idea of his with me. Only about taking more than 5 grams. But he's confusing cause he talks about how great and helpful psychedelics are but in one lecture he says that people should only do them rarely and in large doses. But to me I don't see why I'd want to wait to enjoy those phenomenal experiences. Sounds like I'd be wasting time you know

This, so this. The psychedelic experience is a highly personal journey. There's no rights or wrongs and all limitations and heroics are non transferable. It changes over time as well and demands a type of emotional intelligence to navigate. It's really interesting and potentially self revelatory.

This is exactly my point. The mushroom lures you into a false sense of security. Then your trip takes a hard left turn and you realize you need a trip sitter and it is too late. The mushroom has you. You are in another dimension and your cognition is extremely impaired. You have to ask yourself, why does google return so many results for "trip sitter?"

You have yet to have the type of trip where you realize you need a trip sitter. So we are here to advise and caution you. You choose to reject the advice... and the mushroom has you.

Your trip sitter can be a friend you can text or call. It can be a sibling in another part of the house. You can be alone with yourself in your room and still have a trip sitter nearby.

Have fun. Be safe. :smile:

I understand. I guess it's just my ego talking and thinking I'm strong enough to handle any situation that comes my way. I suppose I shouldn't think that way and will proceed with caution if I end up upping the dosage. I appreciate the advise and looking out for me! So about the sitter. The only person I'd trust is my brother. What exactly are they supposed to do. I probably wouldn't have him stay with me so is he supposed to check in on me every so often or just be available on a needed basis if required?

Not everyone is a good trip sitter. It is mostly a hands-off job. The best trip sitter would be very hands-off and very experienced with pyschedelics. But a good brother is a good choice.

A trip can really go sideways on you very fast. You may just need reassurance or a hug or someone to talk to. The trip sitter is just someone available. You will know what you need when you need it.

With mushrooms the trip sitter should not really check on you. You might be seeing god or in a really euphoric state and you do not want the trip sitter to interrupt your vibe. But with other harder drugs like maybe MDMA, you might want a trip sitter to check on you.

It is best if all of us here on this forum do not list all the ways you need a trip sitter because these thoughts will get into your head. It is best if you do not read "bad trip reports" because those thoughts will get into your head.

Do your thing. Enjoy. Have fun! :smile:
