MY FIRST TIME DOING SHROOMS (PLEASE GIVE ADVICE)
im gonna do it with 2 of my friends will we need a third for a trip sitter.
we are each gonna do 2.5g of dried liberty caps and it’s our first time ever doing hallucinogens do you think this is a sensible dose considering we are gonna do it in my shed at about 12:00 at night.
when do you think is the nearest time it will be available to pick lib caps in the uk as we are trying to do it as soon as we can.
my shed is about 25m away from my house and we will be sat inside of it. is there a high chance of getting caught?
PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK

One would have to know the situation to know the likelihood of getting caught. If it is something that could happen, I don't think its a good idea. The anxiety you experience about being caught could mess things up. Read up on "Set and Setting". Also, I don't know how comfortable or big the shed is, but you might want to lay down at times, or need to get out of the shed. Feeling trapped is not good. It being both of your first times, you don't know how you might react. You might need to be noisy, or get carried away. Would your sitter be experienced?
General tips: 1. Remember you took a substance. Bad trips usually involve forgetting you took something and just thinking you are nuts now. 2. Go with the flow. If you encounter dark aspects of yourself or anything scary - don't try to push it away or resist it. Go with it. It is just your mind. Don't fight the trip. To get this mindset, I usually ask the mushrooms to "show me" what I need. 3. Stay hydrated. 4. Have some things to look at/listen to. Music will be awesome and amazing. 5. Don't eat too much that day and don't fast for too long before the trip. 6. Set and Setting - pay attention to this. If you have had a bad day, its not the right day.

2.5 grams of dried libs will probably wreck you all harder than all 3 of you are ready for. Maybe some of you could handle that for a first dose but if one person has a really hard time it can be overwhelming to try and assist when tripping that hard.
I’d recommend closer to 1.5g dry. You should still get pleeenty of visuals and headspace with a dose like that. Diving off the deep end when inexperienced with psychedelics is risky business.

thanks for the tips, when do you reckon it is time to go find and pick the mushrooms as we want to do it quite soon. i’d say the shed is about 10m by 15m so quite big, it has giant beanbags to sit on and is well lit and warm. My parents room is 25m away from the shed and inside a different building, they are both light sleepers though.
Also would i get insane visuals as when i smoked weed for the first time i saw a fortnite tac shotgun and raygun from cod and wolves running around whilst singing the star wars theme?

Make sure to post your finds here for identification. For the UK you can find liberty caps in fall when the weather cools off.

A lot has been mentioned but I’ll add this. It sounds almost like you’re staying in the shed to hide from people in the house and I don’t know if that’s accurate or not but I’d maybe want to find more privacy. But my bigger point, if you are talking eating them at midnight I strongly suggest planning differently, depending on each individual some of you may not kick in for an hour and then you’ll be up until daylight. Personally I’d rather have taken them around 7 or 8 so your up and running come 9. So I would still want to do it but from my point of view I’d try adjusting your set and setting and schedule a bit.

I don't think this is a good idea for the reasons mention above. The anxiety of getting caught WILL most likely lead to an unpleasant experience. If you do get caught, you'll be tripping at that time and now you'll be in a very emotionally uncomfortable place with your parents. This is not a good idea. I don't know your age but I have my guesses. I'm not about to tell you you're too young to do something but I strongly caution that you may want to re-think this. You may want to try a gram first and see what it's like. That sounds like a better dose for this situation. I'm also not trying to be a dick when I ask this so please understand but is this a serious post?
-------------------- Things I've learned so far: Death with consciousness can be boring. Balance is important. Set intentions, not expectations. Sad trips can be helpful as well as challenging trips.

If you experienced hallucinations from marijuana. You should definitely dose on the low side for mushrooms. Just feel it out a little for your first time.

This sounds like a bad trip in the making. I’ve been doing a ton of research and my first time in 20+ years will be this Sunday.
You definitely want to have the right set and setting like everyone else is saying.
I made sure I wouldn’t be interrupted and would be left alone for 6-8 hours. I’ll be cleaning my house and setting a nice spot to enjoy the journey.
Here’s a list of my prep: - cozy warm clothes and a blanket - diffuser with calming scents - eye mask for going inward - noise cancelling headset and music playlist - snacks and water with electrolytes - movies at the ready but I doubt I’ll watch - journal and pen to document my experience - various arts such as markers, paper, clay etc - meditation and breath work to enter experience - led color changing candles - phone will be on silent and left alone
My advice would be to wait and do it right. Mushrooms aren’t to be taken lightly.
What’s the big rush to take them? I would spend some time doing research first.
Safety first.

I would just say shrooms are more powerful than you can imagine. It is not a joke. Be warned. Reality can break. Your life can melt. Shrooms are different than any other drug.
You may want to have some alone space or your own bed or snacks or water or nature.
How old are you? I think you are under estimating the power and strength of shrooms.
Be well. Be safe.

Phew, that's a heavy mental burden. It doesn't sound worth the risk to me. Like I said, even if you don't get caught, that thought will be in your head going into the trip which may lead to some serious bad times. I don't know what your situation is like but if you can wait until you're out from the umbrella of your parents, perhaps when you can go camping out in the woods with some trusted friends or when you have your own place, that would certainly be better. Best of luck.

Liberty Caps are the second most potent psychedelic mushroom. See here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-five-psilocybin-mushrooms-ranked-potency-shawn-nickerson-puonc/
Looks like they are at least twice as potent as cubensis, which are the ones you read about here the most. So NO WAY would I recommend doing 2.5 grams. I have experience only with cubensis. For a first time, I would recommend 1.5 to 2 grams of cubensis. So at most, I think you should experiment with 1 gram/person of Liberty Caps, if at all. The space does sound big and comfortable, but the fear of getting caught is problematic. You are young. So you have time to read more, learn more. Maybe seek your caps out in the Fall, when you know more and can make a more educated decision. Your experience can be anything from lots of fun to pure bliss to a terrifying terrifying time. To some degree, that is what anybody faces when they trip, becasue the truth is, you never know how it could go. There is a chance that you would have fun, find bliss and wish you had done more. Then you wait two weeks and try again, but don't double the dose. I would say go up in 1/4 gram to 1/2 gram increments. But doing 2.5 grams of Liberty Caps the first time is akin to trying to learn how to use a swing on a trapeze. It is important for the future of psilocybin to be responsible when tripping. Not to mention parental consequences. Wait until you can take a camping trip with your buddies/ Or until someone's family goes on holiday?
Hey, if time is an illusion, then you have already tripped. BTW, what is your motivation/intent? Why do you want to?

Since you are obviously gonna do them at some point, wanna send you some good vibes. I’m sure everything will work out the way it’s supposed to. If you ever get to a point where things are too intense for either you or your friends, I’ve had good luck being able to calm back down by trying to “breathe with the trees” there is something so natural about that image that is easy to do even when you are really far out there. Have fun and be safe!!!
