Hi,
I have a few questions about shrooms before I do them for the first time...first off..someone has told me that for my first time i should take an 8th..is that right?...Now, this will be the only other drug i have ever done besides weed..I am starting to cut down on weed as for i have been smoking way too much to the point where i don't even get high anymore..I started thinking about doing shrooms awhile ago, and when i first started to think about it i did have doubts and fears..but as time went by i feel better about it and not as worried and i feel pretty psyched about doing them...For my first time, should I just eat them or should i take them in a diff way?..I was planning on doing this with 2 of my friends..one of them is going to stay sober and then the other one is gonna go on the journey with me...Is it a smart idea to have a sober person there?...We were also planning to sleep during the day when we got home from school and then do it at night so that we didn't have to worry about getting caught, and also to have a excuse why we wouldn't answer our phones or something and just say we were sleeping..Smart to do it at night or no?..Other thing is..my one friend that wants to do it with me..it seemed like when we were talking about it he had some fear and doubts..i told him I'm not doing it with him unless he is mentally ready for it..think i should take the chance of doing it with him and taking the chance of him having a bad trip at my house?...Also, if someone else is having a bad trip and your having a good one..is it possible because of the other person you could have a bad trip? Also, how much does an 8th usually go for? 
Let me knoww..
Thankss

I would dose lower than an eighth for your first time. An eighth could be very intense. Maybe go for half an eighth. Yeah it is a good idea to have a sober person there to keep an eye on you for the first time. Try not to get caught up in the idea that one of you will have a bad trip, it probably won't happen, especially if you dose sensibly.

Hey man, so since I was a first timer at one point myself, i'll do my best to help you out with a few of these questions.
Quote:
someone has told me that for my first time i should take an 8th..is that right?
My first time, I took an 1/8th. It was ridiculously intense, in a good way though. The vibes were positive the whole way through and I was with two people I would trust with my life. I rode the good ride and came out feeling ontop of the world. It depends on what kind of person you are, who you'll be with, and ultimately your setting. If you're going to be sneaking around in fear of being caught my parent or authorative figures, you might not want to go as strong as an 1/8th.
Quote:
For my first time, should I just eat them or should i take them in a diff way?
There's a bunch of different ways you can eat them. You can brew 'em in with tea, grind them up, etc. But the taste really isn't that bad. Despite what some say. But, to each his own I suppose. Eat a few, and if you can't stomach them grab some peanut butter to mask the taste.
Quote:
Is it a smart idea to have a sober person there?...
Well, to me, sober people when i'm tripping would be like seeing tripping people when i'm sober. They're just totally out of wack and I look at them as the "odd ball out." They can't really relate to anything that you're seeing/feeling/experiencing, unless they've shroomed before, but even still at that, people have the own unique experiences. As long as this sober person is cool and won't mess with you or try to bug you out. Let him/her know the seriousness of the mental state you'll be in and to deliberately try to bug you out would just be downright cruel, especially if you're trying to keep as low key as possible.
Quote:
We were also planning to sleep during the day when we got home from school and then do it at night so that we didn't have to worry about getting caught, and also to have a excuse why we wouldn't answer our phones or something and just say we were sleeping..Smart to do it at night or no?..
My advice is, let your parents know you'll be out for the night. Make up a lame story like your friend just got a new computer game and you'll be up all night playing it (so that this way you have an excuse to fall back on the next day why you're so tired.) Shut your phone off, trust me, it's better not to answer your phone and have to deal with a worrying parent. Deal with all that tomorrow when you're sober, just focus on having a good time with no worries. :]
And tripping at night is cool. At least it is for me. If you're going to be outside, becareful because things can get a bit scary, trees aren't always friendly. But the lights, passing cars, etc, will look amazing all lit up in the dark.
Quote:
Other thing is..my one friend that wants to do it with me..it seemed like when we were talking about it he had some fear and doubts..i told him I'm not doing it with him unless he is mentally ready for it..think i should take the chance of doing it with him and taking the chance of him having a bad trip at my house?...
Well, you can't really expect any first-timer to be 100% mentally ready. I mean, you really have no idea what you're about to experience. Nothing you've done before has come close to this if you've only have experience with some pot. Nervousness, fear, and doubt are three very common feelings right before a mushroom trip, especially the first one. Just chill, try to psych him up a bit and just let him know how cool everything will be. If you need, smoke a small bowl or take a shot or two of some liqour before you eat the mushies to help relax you guys and get you feelin' good.
Quote:
Also, if someone else is having a bad trip and your having a good one..is it possible because of the other person you could have a bad trip?
Yes, it's possible. But like I said above, don't concern yourself with bad trips. The more you plant bad trip, bad trip, into your head the more it'll be on your mind. If you have one, you aren't the only one. I've learned more from bad trips than I have from good ones. It's all how you look at it, bad trips can really be good ones in disguise. 
Quote:
Also, how much does an 8th usually go for?
It depends where you live, who you're buying them from, etc. Typically anywhere between $25-$40. Don't pay more than $40.
Well, I hope this helps. Just have a good time, eat em up and get ready for the ride. Shut your phone off and don't deal with anybody until the next day. You're in for the time of your life, just make sure you have fun and come back here to post the story.

Yeah, it's pretty intense, for me marijuana tends to increase the synchronicity of things. So, if colors start flowing from your speakers to the beat of the music, don't be alarmed just go with it. =]
My first time I was so excited that I just ate 'em straight, and then smoked while peaking. And, well, let's just say I've chased that dragon everytime afterward. In my opinion the first time is a memorable experience, as is anything you're a virgin to 
Just go with it and have fun, explore everything and remember what it's like to be new to the world.

They look like cubes but that small one on the bottom looks a little moldy.

Just looks like bruising and verm. I'd hope that the poster can spot some mold if it's there.
Man, if I were your brother, I'd be pissed. I *hate* people going through my shit, especially if it's drug related. If you ate them, I'd jumpkick you in the throat.

If they are two years old and were lying around in normal temperature there will probably be no effect at all if you eat them.

Good luck with your first trip bro. If you're taking shrooms for the first time and NOT smoking weed, I wouldn't expect TOO much in the way of open eye visuals, especially if you are doing less than an eighth of cubes. At those levels I've found shrooms to be mostly mental and I get strong CEV's but almost no open eye activity. The mental state is fun though. Try thinking about the universe, existence, and other philosophical concepts...It's funny how abstract theoretical concepts can make lots of sense or even be experienced while under the influence of shrooms.
If you're after a banging good time with tons of mental involvement and lots of synchronized visual-mental stuff try eating a decent pot brownie a half hour before eating an eighth of shrooms...this is NOT recommended for a first time trip though. It's just something to consider if you don't get the visual element you're after this first time.
Hmm...other than that I would say don't be afraid of your brain, chill out in a dark room with some killer tunes on and just flow with vibes of the shrooms. Definitely try closing you eyes while listening to music.

"On what would you base your assumptation?"
Never had 2 year old ones. But one year old ones blew me the fuck away. Strongest trip I've had (on cubes at least). And they were in a non airtight bag in a dresser in an apartment without air conditioning for the summer. (one lame window unit, on another floor, just fans otherwise ). They were just fine.
I figure if they can live 1 year so well, 2 isn't impossible. But yeah, I've also seen people take out 6 month old ones that don't do jack. So I'm only suggesting that anything is possible.

Yep, I had older ones and there happened nothing at all. It happened to me more than once. (I dumb, I should have taken them earlier). I think the Psilo ingredients are normally destroyed (damn my English) relatively fast.

If you are going to just get open eye visuals I would say try to find a different psychedelic or smoke lots of weed while shrooming.
even an eighth can be not-so-visual. It's just the characteristic of the drug.
the reason that people are saying not to do an eighth your first time is because an eighth can plunge you very deep into the mindfuck with or without visuals...The view held by most people on this board is that your first trip should be a mild one so as to reduce the chance of you having a bad time. I ate an eighth my first time tripping and smoked TONS of great weed and I had a blast. It's all personal preference. If you are at all apprehensive about tripping then I would say go with less than an eighth. If you're nothing but excited to have a good time and you have respect for the power of the shrooms, an eighth should not be overwhelming. Just remember, you could be one of those people who naturally are much more responsive to psychedelics and so for you , it could be possible that a gram for you is like 5 grams to me. This is yet another reason to start small.
once again, good luck and have fun.

First things first hope you have a very nice first trip!!
I sudjest eating around 2 grams then after about an hour or if you arn't where you wan't to be add the other gram.
Also chew them up as much as you can. Even better grind them down to a find powder mix with OJ and drink up.

One of my buddies ate about half an eighth his first time (last fall) and said the walls were bending and all that jazzzzz. I think it's really subjective like the other poster said one gram for you could be like 5 for him....
just thought I'd throw out some anecdotal evidence that less can quite strong
