ok I feel like i should know but I don't.... On Fri. morning I am going to dose very lightly prob. .5 gr (very good home grown) I don't really want to "trip" just clear my head. (it been a weird few weeks and I want some "me" time) the thing is i get up at 8 ish and have some coffee (2 cups on most days) and I read a while back of a dude having a "bad day" on mush with a shot of espresso in the midle. I need my coffee but I don't want my head clearing day to suck because of it . Any TRUE advise (hearsay is nice but...) I plan on munching at about 10 am, no food. this is not my "first" by the way but I am not sure about the coffee...its my first in the morning.
thanks

Mushrooms seem to get my stimulated enough, most of the time more than enough. Maybe make the shrooms into tea, and drink it like you would your coffee?

Why would the coffee ruin your day?

very true .... not a bad idea. maybe wait.. have the coffee later if I "need" it. I just don't want to blow it thats all. I dont want to kill a good thing being greedy but I do want to go about a nice "normal" day off. I fucked a head clear once by having dinner with the fam. that night. I was OK but it did not feel right, it was lost. (I did not plan that but they had my wife and I over ...oh well) I am not "depending" on this but I am looking forward to it.
peace

I'd say go for it... 2 cups of coffee isn't that much and is a low enough dose to still allow sleep if you wanted to so i don't see why it would be a problem with shrooms.

In your case, being dependant on caffeine, it's best to stick to your usual dose I would think, otherwise you are mixing tripping with caffeine withdrawal.

The first time I tried mushrooms we had no tea, so we used instant coffee and brewed it together with our water that was steeped in the mushrooms. I got really high to say the least... Coffee should have no impact on your dose.

shroom coffee doesn't actually taste that bad. my first time on shrooms i boiled the shrooms in water and just used it and made the coffee how i usually have it... just with shroom water.

That's interesting, xk3m, I'll have to try that - although I usually just eat 'em plain; I've grown to love the taste.
And shroomrunner was dead-on! If you have 2 cups of coffee daily, your body will be expecting 2 cups of coffee! I personally have a pot and a half of coffee daily, and I've found that although "surprising" your body by a break in routine is good for you, you shouldn't do it on a day you're tripping.
Really, the trip will be enough a surprise for your body by itself

I'll state right up front that I know little of the pharmacological contradictions between the mushroom and coffee, but, goddam, a nice cup of coffee right after peak sounds SO GOOD. I'm going to have a cup after my next. It seems so comforting. PLease let me know how yours goes, eh?

DrJ says: your body will probably appreciate some sugar later in the day. A nice sweet coffee seems to bring back the shrooms - not sure whether that is the coffee or the sugar that has that effect.
But then I'm very 'British' in that I like a good cup of tea!!!

I once had a clash between coffee and 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (2CB for shorthand ) that I still refer to as the "100.000 Volts Trip". That was wild and for 2CB I definitely recommend *not* taking coffee.
With modest coffee intake entry into the Mushroom experience can be smoothened, but caffeine does rouse emotions which are already strongly enhanced by mushrooms. It's a good thing to ask yourself.
For most people modest coffee intake would not make a huge difference when it comes to mushrooms.

Allow me a suggestion: Take 0.25gr initially on an empty stomach with another 0.25gr as a booster dose three hours later. This will probably pleasantly enhance your mood, perceptions, cognition and thought without being a chore. And you stay on a loooong plateau from 01:00-07:00 because of the booster! It's what I like, and do fairly often, once every few weeks.
