first time i tried cyanescens was in the fruiting season and ever since i've tripped about 10-15 times and i love it absolutely. i try to space out my trips because the feeling to me is just so spiritual magical and unique, i dont want it to dull at all. anyway i usually try to trip every 2 weeks-month and i usualy take about 2 grams. even tho i've tripped a good amount, i've yet to try a full eight of ne type of mushie but i cant wait till i do, im just kinda afriad that i wont be able to handle it...once i only ate 2 grams of cyans and fried sooo hard that i thought i could be the best b ball player in the world and later i thought died in that backseat of a car, so im kinda hesitant to try an eight, i will eventually tho peace

My trips usually get spaced out to about 4-6 months. I dont have a schedlue or anything for them, I just find it hard to get everything perfect for a trip. And like hoopershroomer said, spacing your trips out helps to retain the magic. When you trip so often, you stop noticing the very sutble effects, very similar to smoking too much cannabis.

I completely agree. Since the first time I tripped in late 2003, I've consumed mushrooms about 5 times. Spacing them out so far has made each experience stand out as memorable and significant.
My last trip was about 8 months ago, it's about time for me again

First time I tripped was early 2004. I tripped 15 times in about 7 or 8 months, my last trip being about a year and a half ago. The desire to trip completely went away after I started getting panic attacks and anxiety like crazy.. I blame it on shrooming. Lately though, not having anxiety or panic attacks for some time, I've been wanting to shroom again.
This happened to a friend of mine as well, only he had a horribly bad trip on 2C-B, which resulted in him having to live on anxiety pills.
For the sake of the topic of this thread, though, I won't go any further.

I think every 2-6 months is ideal.
Tripping too much will lead to loss of magic. Besides psychedelics should only be used if you need to take a look at your life, or take a much needed vacation from yourself.

i discovered shrooms about a year ago and have tripped six times. there have been times that i have tripped back to back weekends but i am now learning about the true meaning of a trip. it is nothing you can force; if you do, you will be disappointed. by tripping in unsuitable environments and situations, you never gain the true insight to what a trip is. i call it "the macro-trip." let me explain; i notice that although the actual trip has ended within six hours(approx.), you need some time to decompress. it's the two or so weeks after a trip that are the most enjoyable to me. it is during this period that i truly gain the introspective, clean-slate look at who i am and the world i live in. when you trip all the time they just kinda run together. you never get the chance to exhibit hindsight as to what you learned, saw, felt, heard, etc..... you lose that magic that is just so damn mind blowing. don't force a trip, let it come to you. when it is the time to trip, you will know it. a moment will arise that will be suitable, if not seemingly perfect(whatever that may be for you), this is when the most spiritual and rewarding experiences will happen. even just after six trips i've learned that shrooming is not about "getting fucked up" or having crazy visuals, it's about the connection. i think a lot of you out there understand what i am saying, but some don't just as i didn't. but you can't be blamed, getting "fucked up" is what happens with all the other petty drugs, like alcohol(no offense but i see no real value to an alcohol intoxication). in summary: USE THEM, DON'T ABUSE THEM

i just hope you tried it plenty before deciding it was valueless.
i have had invaluable nights with friends and all we did back then was drink.
and believe me no offense taken, i love drinking!

What do you guys think of my usage...
I'd say about once or twice a month I trip, a fairly regular basis, but usually only doses of like 1-1.5 grams. To me at that dosage it just feels very medicinal and refreshing.
And then maybe 2 or 3 times a year, I'll actually take an eigth and have a real trip. Still feels very healing and medicinal to me in nature.
My first trip of my life when I was a stupid teenager was 6 grams, and going in, I had never even been high, and I had no idea what mushrooms were about. So I had the craziest experience imaginable,and haven't been to that dosage since (6 years ago). I do plan on hitting a doses like that on perfect occaisons in the future, maybe once or twice a year.

I trip every weekend just about. I have insane psychedelic all-nighters with massive audio/visual stimulation. I'll get my friends together and when the sun goes down, we have our choice of PE shrooms, LSD, DMT and molly. Yes I do love my psychedelia. I like to take 2.5 grams of shrooms, and 3 drops of blotter on a sugercube does the job nicely.

When I first got into acid and shrooms many years ago I tried to trip as much as I possibly could and as recent as the summer of 2003, I was tripping 2 times a week for months at a time. That got really old fast not to mention I was mentally fried for the year following my endulgance. Now, I couldn't imagine tripping more then 3 or 4 times a year.

I do them once a month, except this summer when I had no source. But now I've got enough zooms to last me the whole summer and I'll still do them every month. I'm considering doing them this weekend, it's been two weeks since I've done them, it would be my first time not spacing it out a whole month.

It depends on what's going on with my mushroom op. When I first started I always had shrooms so I was always doing them. usually once a week or so. But then after I ran out I couldn't do that anymore. I had one mushroom op fail and that set me back a month or two. So lately I've only been tripping when my boy brings some over. Which hasn't been too much.
It has probably been at least a month since I have last tripped so my next trip is going to be a big one. I should be getting around 4 oz a flush off of my grow so I should be set for a while.
But man I wish I could find some good blotter around in my area. I've only done acid once and it was bunk ass shit. I really want to try again but I live in central michigan and the shit is damn near impossible to find.

it depends, my town hit a mad dry spell for the mushies, so i haven't tripped since Halloween thats 5 months.
When i can i do them usually every two to three weeks, sometimes i will eat mush once every week for like a month and then take a month off or something.
i first tripped in Jan of 2004 and i think i have tripped 25+ times since then.

Low dosages fairly regular, high doses fairly rarely.
Low doses are good for some fun times with friends/etc, and I dont fall into the camp of "all recreational use of psychedelics is bad" - irresponsible and reckless use of psychedelics bothers me, not recreational.
And, once every few months, I'll do a more 'reflective' trip - the dose on this can range from low to high, but tends to be more in the high-dose area.
Tripped once at the start of the month, probably tripping again this weekend, and that will probably be my last trip for another month or two - I want to wait untill its nice outside and spring/summer is in full swing.
Main reason for tripping this weekend: Partying, Sleeparchive is in town, one of my favorite minimal producers, very heady/repetive/spacy music that goes perfectly with psychedelics - I recall some of my most enjoyable moments of my 1st strong LSD trip was listening to songs of his on my walkman - looking forward to getting a chance to hear it live on a good sound system.
His tracks are like a voyage into your brain, a subtle message where his patterns and loops sort of 'wire into' your head and take you deep into your own mind - I am hyped for it.

I agree 100% It's taken me a while to realise that psychedelics aren't about getting 'fucked up' it's a FEELING as well. I always forget that FEELING you get. I've always had somewhat uncomfortable trips, but after my last voyage on 2 hits of Albert Hofmann millenium blotters, I feel at peace with myself and comfortable. I'm waiting for the outdoor shroom season to come along (probably about a month or so) and I'm going to go hunting and collect as many shrooms as I can fit in my house and eat my way through them lol

There is something very interesting about using drugs that can be used two days in a row, for two days in a row. LSD, nah.... SHrooms taken hours after the first dose I would give an A+.
Ayahuasca two days in a row......It works better than the first day.
There is something very interesting about taking high doses only one week apart with mushrooms and LSD. For many people the second week is more intense. I wouldnt recommend that though. It gets very serious that second week.
Normally, I would only trip VERY hard 2-3 times per year ideally. I have done it for so many years though, some years were not as serious or involved as high of doses, so I would trip once per month or 2. I personally wouldnt do it very often. Once a month is pushing the envelope. Too much information in too little time, you cant expect yourself to learn as much.
It could just make you tweaked out later in life if you have no reasons to take these drugs before hand. Your mind can indeed become static and whacked out, rather than becoming more poignant.......

3-4 times a year and between 2-5 grams approximately. I don't know how some people do it every weekend. That would wear me out big time.

i like to trip 2-3 times a month when i have access to them but usually1 to 2 grams but a few times a year i like an insane dose. my last one being around 10-10.5 grams that was on the last day of Jr year with a good friend. we had gotten outta school,i had seen my gf and spent all afternoon in an intimate close setting it was great. me and my bud hung out and had a great time before shrooms we dosed about 7 grams each then chilled and watched start and talked about life then we decided to walk to my house watched the moon on water really pretty then we dosed more about an hour in and it was great had a bit of trouble with ego death but i let go eventually and learned a lot woke up the next morning looking like a zombie still kinda tripping.then had to go on a 25 hour bus ride with my scout troop to Colorado the outdoors gave me a beautiful setting to contemplate my experience. Awesome! everyone should experience ego death at least once or twice.

I only tripped once. It was Saturday (1 week 1 day ago). I felt so incredibly great, and I only had a lvl 3 trip. I came out of my depression the next day (even though I didn't stop tripping till 2am, and had to go to work at 9). I have been harshly depressed for as long as I can remember, but I felt so great, talkative, happy, energetic. And I normally and always tired even with 12 hours of sleep (average). My depression has come back though since, but I am much closer to my co-workers (relatively new job) since then. I plan to trip every 3 - 4 weeks. But it's incredibly hard for me to get shroomies. And I remember while tripping, that it just wasnt very spiritual to me.

Off-topic, but are you saying that you get 12 hours of sleep a night, and are tired all the time? If that is correct, try getting less sleep.

Exactly what is ego death, or how would you deifne it?
If it's what I'm thinking of, then I've experienced it on my first shroom trip

Actually I was waking up naturally earlier like 7 or 8 for a couple days after, but not being used to it I would try to go back to sleep and would in return wake up and fall asleep every 5 mintues. I go to at random times. I am almost back to my normal sleep paterns as much as I can with work.

during the summer when I first started getting into shrooms I shroomed about once/week for 1-2 months. It took its toll and by the end of the summer my body felt like shit from smoking all day every day and I basically spent the week after summer was over taking it incredibly easy on both my brain and body. It wasn't a good idea and I don't advise doing it, but it really helped me learn a lot about the shrooming experience, I got a good feel for how it effected me, I got a good feel for what the mushrooms were capable of.
Now I just trip whenever it feels right which seems to be once every 2-4 months...
