Just bought shrooms online, first time.

Hey everybody, I'm new here, and new to shrooms. Yesterday I ordered 30g of fresh Mexican Psilosybe Cubensis mushrooms online, and they should get here tonight. My question is, are 30g of undried mushrooms enough to give a decent trip? And if so, do you think I should take them all at once? It's my first time.
Thankyou

30g is enough for a strong trip. if it's your first time half of it, or maybe a little more is good for a first time. you can always take more anext time if you like it. Why not share that box with a friend

^^ Yep. Exactly. It's going to be about equal (depending on water content) to 3g dry. I would go with Stefan and take a little less.
Unless you have tripped before and know the landscape, I would go with 2.5 grams max, or 25 grams of what you've got there.
Depending on the water content, this will of course, vary slightly.
Have a nice trip! ~Kimberly

As has already been said, go for around 20g for your first time - you'll still have a decent trip.
Have a good one - let us know how it goes!

Yeah, 20g would be a good dose for a first time!

Thanks for the advice, guys. I think I'm going to take them all, according to that shroom calculator, that would be a level 4 trip. Could someone please explain the trip levels to me? Also, is there anything I can do about the taste? I hear they taste awful. Someone said I could eat them with honey or chocolate to make them taste better.

short descriptions of the trip levels http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/11
other explanations of effects http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_effects.shtml
30g is a strong trip, especially for a first timer, wich can be very heavy. don't underestimate the power of the magic mushrooms!

Hey, I don't want to be rude or anything, but you just said you're new to shrooms.
My SERIOUS and STRONG advice to you is to learn the landscape first, respect the power of the mushroom and then go for a more intense experience IF that's still what you want to do.
I mean, you would not go skiing FIRST TIME and go balls out down the next-to steepest hill you could find, right? (and if you do, you must enjoy many broken bones )
Same with shrooms. RELAX, Take a little less, explore your own personal weirdity and THEN up your dose, etc if you like. The mushies will still be there when you get back, then you can get ya some more.
Don't overestimate yourself or underestimate the shrooms.
Also? Levels? PEH!! They're totally based on the perspective of the person tripping at the time. The dose for Joe Schmoe for "Level 4" will not necessarily be the dose for you.
Better to trip not as BALLS TO THE WALL hard now and wanna do it again later than to make yourself fear the Mushroom.
The advice here is good, it would be smart to at least consider it more before you dose.
Just some spare change... Kimberly

30g would probably give you a level 3 trip, but it could give a level 4 trip. It all depends on the person, it's totally different for different people and for different set and settings. It's your first time and that's why I advice to take 20g. You can always do more next time.
Have you ever tried any other psychedelics? Do you have any idea what tripping is like? Mushrooms are very powerful. It's not like feeling sober and seeing cool stuff. Your perception of everything will change and you will experience reality from a different perspective.
Make sure not to eat 4hours before you ingest the mushrooms! oh and welcome to the Shroomery

As to the eating? The fresh, just munch 'em down.
You can dip them in honey or whatever, but eating is the way for fresh. There are also recipes here: Recipes

I still don't chew my shrooms when I eat them. I cut them into little pieces and swallow them with orange juice like you would a pill. I just cannot stand the taste. I suppose it would be easier just to make them into pills.

That's a super idea! I grind them in my coffee grinder, because it's fast and easier than cutting, and also, I *believe* you come up faster than when you have to really digest the chunks.
Seems like the more ground they are (or in the case of fresh tamps) the more you chew, the better the absorption rate.
Maybe THAT is all in my mind, though....anyway YMMV.
I just like enough time to light incense and candles, put on goood music and off we go!

No, you are correct......It does take slightly longer for the full effect to come on. However, I do not own a working coffee grinder or anything, so I do not have the ability to grind them.
