Just got shrooms; hopefully will trip tomorrow (tips, advice)

Well, tomorrow I'm hoping to trip on shrooms for the first time. I bought an eigth, and am wondering if I should ingest all of it or half of it.
Some settings: -home alone until 4ish (hoping to wake up at 7-8 and then trip)
I'm wondering if tripping at the given time, it'll wear off by 4 (half, I'm almost certain it will; full eigth not so sure)
And...yah. Any advice for a first time user?

If its your first time I see why you would ask such a question. Is it your first time using any hallucinogen??? If so, just dont take a whole eighth.
Give your mind some time to wake up before you dose. 2 hours would be my recommendation.
And 1/8 isnt the best idea for someone who is new to tripping. Infact, it can be a very bad idea. Its well known that most people who know what they are doing dont take more than 5 grams, only a few times per year, tops.
Youd be taking a pretty high/intense dose, no matter what anyone here says. SOme people find 3.5 grams to be childs play, which just says something about them that I would rather not take the time to articulate.

Thanks for the advice
Another comment I received is that it'd take about 9 hours, which I don't think I'd mind (if you're gonna go, go big)
Either way, there's always my dime

I'd eat half of the 1/8th to start out with, if in one hour your not feeling anything, and a little more.
Shrooms can go from a slight body buzz to tripping balls, so wait at least one hour for the effects to have a chance to kick in before taking more.
I doubt you will need more then 2 grams {half 1/8th} if you have a friend that seems cool you can split up the bag and trip with someone.

I agree with stemmer - wake up, get something to eat, etc.; get settled. When you feel good, take 1-2 grams, wait about 1hr and see how you feel, if you think u could handle more, take some more.
Ive given a kid 7 grams on a first dose ever, he took a half eigth and by the end of the night he had eaten the entire 7 grams. Depends on the person and setting.
Have a good time. If your expecting someone home at 4, give yourself about 6-7 hrs for the trip, within the last hr you'll prob be sober enough to have a conversation or what not. But again, it depends on the person and setting.
Good luck, get some good tunes playin, maybe a movie. Or if you like the outdoors go out for a walk

that's exactly the way to do it - start with half then increase slowly over increments of 45 minutes - one hour until you're at a state where you're comfortable. I'd imagine that if you consumed the whole eighth you'd be tripping pretty damn hard, but that typically depends on a bunch of variables. Anyway - have a good time, man! Good luck Give us a couple posts here while you're doing it and tell us what you think

If you really want to have a great/intense first mushroom trip I think you should take 2-2.5 grams(if you're gonna go, go big). "big" is different the first time.
If you have never tripped before, id recommend only 2 grams even if you want to "go big".
You should feel the effects within one half hour, then it should begine to effect you way more so in the next hour. People who cant feel it right away sometimes take more because of it, and often they had no idea what they were in for.

Zeus- If youve smoked a lot of pot in your time, and drank a lot, im sure 2g's would be sufficient for a first trip. The higher the dose on the first trip, itll take more to trip each time after (i guess)
I took 5 hits of acid my first time, any time after id have to take 7, and got up to 10 strips at a time to get a good trip. Im not sure if this applys to everyone, but its what i had noticed

Ya, for some you trip harder every time. Thats how it works for me.
As an example, people with subtle HPPD after many many trips(to be expected) will find that any hallucinogen becomes perpetually more intense.

I'd wait and decide that at the time. Just go with the flow and do what seems best.
But if your feeling up to it the walk would defiantly be amazing.

Yeah man, even tho Katamari Damaci is brutal haha, just go with what u want to do. If your feeling like u want to do outside, then outside, if u wanna play a video game do it. Even if it lasts about 5 minutes, do whatever is gonna fullfill the trip.
Also, if your worried about your parents coming home early, dont eat them, just wait. Anticipation of a trip IMO makes it that much better

I couldn't agree more.
If your at all stressed about someone coming home, or anything else, id let it wait. The shrooms aren't going to go anywhere and the more prepared you are/feel the better your trip will be.

Personally I'd say go to the park, every time I've been playing video games on shrooms I find that it just distracts me and keeps in a sober mindset and really stops the trip from being what it could be, the rest of the trip is usually plagued with the feeling that the trip is trying to come through but is being repressed, kind of like something should be happening but I'm just not allowing it to. I generally avoid video games now until the comedown...
One thing about shrooms is that you probably wont do anything you planned to do, just keep your options open and don't bother doing anything you don't really feel like doing just because you think it'll be trippy or whatever...

I'm usually fine to talk to people 4 or 5 hours later. I pry sound a little weirder then normal, but normal enough to interact with other people.
But that really depends on how you dose.

HAs anyone here actually sat in the dark or a dimly lit room for 9 hours and felt completely content? No music or anything during the most intense parts. During the comedown, you might put on some of your favorite music. Well, If you have not, it would be a good idea to try it.
A long walk in a forest preserve is ideal as well.
The more simple and stationary the better in my opinion. Then again, I trip alone and some people find that to be too much. Thats just the mushrooms telling you something. They are no fucking joke. They are not meant to be for fun, or your simple pleasures.

All this talk is making me reconsider...
Perhaps I'll wait until next week when I'll not only have a sitter, but also no obligation to my parents
DOes it matter if I preserve my shrooms?

Bro, conserve them, wait until u are free, and can become free during the trip.
Unexpected, or even expected visitors can lessen its intensity, u wanna have a good time; prepare yourself and wait the while

just as long as you keep them out of direct heat you should be fine... A sitter IMO isn't really necessaru unless you plan on spending a large amount of time outside in a neighbourhood other than your own unless you're in a park or something. This isn't the case with everyone but I usually find that a sitter in public provides a bit of security in knowing that you can let yourself go and someone will be there to make sure you're not being sketchy doing it...
And no stemmer, I have not spent 9 hours in a dark room while tripping, although that's purely because the opportunity has yet to come up

If you can get someone else to trip with i find that very enjoyable. It can be very nice to have someone else who is at the same level of thinking as you. Sometimes during trips I find that i have trouble communicating with people who aren't currently tripping.
As long as the shrooms are stored in a dry, air-tight environment out of the light, they will be fine.

For some people that kind of time is hard to find, its understandable. You saying that reminds me of the incredible trip I have had outside in below zero temps, and surprizingly, it was during a blizzard. Talk about shitty planning! I had eaten about 1500 mics of acid with my best friend(ya thats more than the average ten strip). We had nowhere to go besides "outside". It was still one of the best psychedelic experiences of my life. We found save haven under an outdoor roof at our good old elementary school. We couldnt see anything, and had numerous moments where we wondered whether this trip was out of control beyond the setting. We just sat down, and talked for about 4 hours, and then went inside. We finally felt comforitable with the idea. We didnt plan anything, and we were quite young, yet we were experienced. SO taking that kind of an insane dose just seemed like a good idea after realizing we had not planned it. Kind of like throwing yourself into a giant blender.

Sometimes tripping in less than ideal situations can be fun when it's not planned, just as long as the risks have been calculated to some extent... Unfortunately with my current living situation (still stuck at home and my mom NEVER leaves the house for more than 6 hours a WEEK) it is literally impossible for me to enjoy a nice solo trip alone and in silence without venturing outside into the public which is something that I just don't feel comfortable doing on shrooms alone (I get very easily frustrated with the things people do and I feel somewhat compelled to say something while on mushrooms, felt like tearing my hair out stuck listening to some people on the bus talking about doing their first trip with someone who was growing them, at first it seemed like a cool coinsidence, but then I realized that all the information she was giving them was the standard misinformation (caps contain the active ingredients, the more blue on the mushroom the more potent, smoking them will make you go blind, etc) and this just absolutely drove me insane having to listen to this fighting the urge to just scream "You know absolutely dick fucking all!"
