Hi, I'm new to the board, and I really need some advice on if I should try shrooms or not. I've only smoked weed before ... I've never done acid,shrooms, anything else. I'm generally very reserved, inward .. I'm very quiet and think alot. I was depressed for like 6 months about a year ago. I love smoking weed, but at 1st I kind of tripped out, now I'll smoke the best there is , when i can get it! I'm thinking ill probably have a bad trip on shrooms. can anyone provide me some good advice based on the type of person I am. Thanks duder

Hmmm, the familiar feeling. Never done shrooms either, but felt the same before my first acid trip. Was quite nervous/scared. If your depression is quite bad, I'd advise you to wait. But being a shy, quiet, thoughtful person isn't really much of a reason to believe you'll have a bad trip. You should start on a lower dosage on shrooms, not too low as to not get a satisfying trip. Sort out some postive and soothing music for the trip. Make sure that you're not having any ongoing dilemmas on the week you're going to trip. If you're fighting with your friend/parents etc the day before, you may end up thinking about it the whole trip (not fun). These are just basic things to think about. Try www.erowid.org for the whole story. They have FAQ for acid and shrooms, and how to avoid bad trips (also check out the FAQ here on the Shroomery). In the end, remember to RELAX! Don't overthink. Flow with everything, and don't fight the feelings. Might be an idea to have a close friend there to guide you. Good luck.

Ahh, the inevitable question.. If you really want to try them and feel ready, then start off with a small dose. Try just eating maybe a gram or so, and you will understand the basic effects of shroom trip, without going into freakout mode and having a trip that will turn you off shrooms altogether. As sheepish said, make sure that you have very little bothing you or stressing you out, because, believe me, you will think about that shit the entire time and it will, in all probablility, depress the hell out of you. If you start to tweak out and shit, smoking a bowl or five always helps me calm down and enjoy everything instead of getting really nasty thoughts and wanting to drink a bottle of drano and go to sleep... but i digress. anyways.. do what Sheepish said.. go to http://www.erowid.org good day

Another alternative to smoking bowls to calm thoughts down, there's always Pink Floyd!
