How long after ingesting (to wait) before driving 1

I`m going to drive some nice, wild place in nature and ingest medium - light dose of mushrooms (lets say about 1.5g). I will be eating them dry, not in tea. I also would like to be able to return home and dont stuck there for too long.
In your experience, how long till the effects have diminished enough to safely assume you can drive? With that kind of a dose I would belive that not all effects must dissapear, but most, right? I also know I could, possibly, be driving during the experience but I`d rather wait till its quite safe. You think 4 - 6 hours should be fine?

i was on 1.8 g and wanted to leave a friends house 1 1\2 after dosing. I got in my stick shift and started driving. I had to pull over half way down the block. Not a great idea. 4.5 hours? It all depends on how u feel. If your still fucked up after 4 hours then dont drive but if u think u can handle it then jut drive carful. If u need to pull over and rest.

Providing the trip is over by then(and 6 hours sounds like it could be) then yes.

You should wait AT LEAST 12 hours...myself I would wait 16-24.

Thanks for answers, guys. 12+ hours, after reasonably low dose trip you say? Why that long, I`m still considering getting a lift (It`ll be probably a 20 minute ride anyway) but it would be easier to drive by myself...
Any more opinions/experiences?

I can drive well under the influence of drugs (never alcohol though). So for me, after about 4-6 hours like you said i'd be cool to drive...especially on a lower dose like you are going to be taking. I'd assume you'd be good to go. Also take into account whether the roads will be busy or if you will be taking the freeway, etc. Whenever i drive in drugs the roads aren't busy and I never go onto the freeway.

The problem won't be you. The problem occurs if some stupid thing happens -- a minor fender-bender or a cop happens to pull you over for unsafe lane change or some other stupid shit. Your eyes are all buggy & pupils dilated. They'll key in on that, and suddenly you're at fault for something you didn't even do.
Don't drive.

1.5 is a pretty low dose, I say maybe six to 8 hours. just be careful, don't speed and such your eyes will be all bugged out and dialated, you shoulkd be able to drive fin though if you HAVE to (might be a little tired).

As the others have said, DO NOT drive while tripping... you'll probably see crazy shit, and get distracted while driving. Depending on how hard you trip, and how you ingested them, you can drive 3-6 hours after taking them. Since you're eating them, 4-6 is fine, but really it depends how you feel at the time as well.
-------------------- Hang on tightly ... and let go lightly.

i'd say that you could do it, although i wouldn't reccomend it, i drove while on a full eigth of shrooms during the peak of my trip once and i didn't have any problems. I actualey think of it as a very fond memory. but anyways i don't plan on driving again while on shrooms and i don't beleave it is worth the risk, never under estimate the power of the

It doesn't depend on the person. If you're peaking, you're peaking, and are NOT in control despite what you think. IF you don't care about your own safety enough not to drive, at least care about my family that may be on the road with you.

Oh, I`m deffinitelly against driving under influence, its just wrong to risk lifes of others... Thats why I started this thread - since I find mushrooms effects to kick in and fade out quite constantly in time, at least for me - now I see I maybe could be fine to do little driving after 4 - 6 hours and maybe not. I think I will see how I feel, and if not so fine I`ll just chill in my car with discman, or come back to the wild and spend some time thinking and reflecting and such...
After all, these Semilanceatas ar pretty potent and quite big, so 30 mushrooms may be actually a bit more than estimatied 1.5g of cubes...
