My Friend

5 Yaers ago me and a good friend went picking Liberty Caps in a well known spot in the Dublin Mountains. We got hundreds of libs and came home eagerly anticipating our first mushroom trip. That evening at 6 O 'Clock we each ate 100 liberty caps and started making my way towards a forest park. Along the way the usual stuff started to happen like uncrontrollable laughing, brightening of colors etc Then it went bad I was fine but my friend was freaking out, thus began the most insane night of my life. My friend had very bad trip, I know now that he was more than likely on the brink of ego death, but at the time I didn't know. He fought it for five hours after I had to bring him home, he just couldn't let go. So anyway since then my friend has stayed away from mushrooms, and appart from the odd flashback and some anxiety he is fine and I have been tripping on various substanses ever since. So anyway my friend said to me today that he would like to try shrooms again, I think he would be ok and I would consider myself an experienced tripper and think I can handle anything that could go wrong. He said he'd take low dose. So do you think this is a good idea?

That's one of the major things you should know before taking mushrooms. Do not fight them.

Yes I know that now but I was young and too immature to research Ego Death and all of that. We took far too high of a dose aswell.

I've never had ego death but I sort of get the jist of riding it out. But by just letting it go you can get into a good trip, just like that? Why, after five hours, wouldn't someone just want to let go? Thanks.

When it starts it can be scary as Hell. If you let go and get past that and come out the other side, that's when it's good. If you fight it it just keeps getting worse and worse. Your ego doesn't want to die and will do whatever it can to keep you based in reality and usually that entails some pretty shitty stuff from your subconscious...stuff you keep buried deep down for a reason. Facing with this and letting it flow past you is what I consider "letting go". And letting all that stuff finally come out into the light to be faced is very liberating if you don't get hung up on it and let it turn you into a sniveling wreck.
Here's a great thread on the subject. It explains the different degrees better than any that I have ever seen:

I agree with Onetime, start him off an a real low dose, 1 gram or so; something that you feel would bring him to a somewhat threshold feeling.
Threshold trips i imagine would be reasonable for someone who is has a high sensitivity for it, or is expecting something very intense.
