I still cant decide whether or not im going to try mushrooms.  All this talk about ego loss is scary.  Im a humble, laid back guy and think everyone is equal already.  Does that mean I have less chance of having a bad trip?  Would an egotistical person have a bad one when they lose their ego?

I dont want to lose my ego at first.  how much should I take to make colors more vivid and music sound better?  A gram or so?




I say go ahead and try it and don't worry about ego loss just yet.  My first few times tripping I was with one or two friends and it involved a lot of laughing and crazy visuals/colors.  I had a blast and considered mushrooms just a social/recreational drug used to have a good time.  At low doses it can still be that way, but after having a high dose trip alone just recently, I feel that I've "moved on" sort of.  I experienced ego-loss, and was completely unprepared for it.  Everyone has done a great job explaining what it is like.  I'm not going to go into my experience with it, cause my point is that you should not worry about that for your first trip, but be with people you know and trust just in case it decides to happen.  Keep the dose fairly low, no more than 1.75grams, or half an eighth.  When and if you decide to explore higher doses, you will be better prepared than I was just by reading this thread.  Most likely your first trip will be a blast and the intense out of body experience that has been described in this thread will not happen yet.  Don't hold me responsible if it does happen though! :wink: Knowledge is power...expect the best, but be prepared for the worst ("best" and "worst" don't really apply at all, it's just a struggle to put words to ego-loss experiences.  others in this thread have done a much better job than me)

After my one and only ego death experience I said to myself I would never take shrooms again. Didnt last but Ive been very cautious ever since about taking high doses, and every trip since has started with the anxiety where before the ego loss trip it never occured.

At the trime I considered it a bad trip, there was some amazing parts towards the end but most the time it felt like my head was being pumped with a constant barrage of thoughts, sounds, emotions and pictures. At that time I was relatively inexperienced with mushrooms so it felt like i'd lost control and the fear of how fake and twisted reality seemed was just overwelming.

In the future I may have another high dose to attempt ego loss, hopefully I'l be prepared enough...

I've tripped on mushrooms about 20 or so times, but never ate more than 4 grams. This weekend I plan on eating 5 grams of Golden Teachers with about 3 other people (1 experienced, the other 2 not as experienced) at the beach (beach where no one is around). I am expecting an ego loss from this 5 grams, but am not sure how I will react. While tripping on 5 grams what do you usually act like? Like can you control it at all and like be able to speak and walk and do things or no?

I think it varies depending on who you are! Tolerance levels... experience etc

Some people can probably control themselves quite well and appear normal on 5 grams while others would need to be in a quiet room by themself. One guy I know needs to take about three times as much as me for a similar result.

I found on five grams I was able to carry it pretty well.

Then I took a few hits of weed around the peak and that's when I got smeared.

When I did 5 grams with my friends, I was really... um yeah. That is some intense shit. We had some of THE most intense laughter ever.... sometimes I thought I was going to suffocate because I couldn't stop laughing to catch my breath.
