First Time Trip, Subsequent Problems!
    #7569695 - 10/28/07 01:57 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Hey guys maybe you can help me out with this!

For the last week i've been pumped cause a buddy of mine had got ahold of some mushrooms and last night was going to be my first time trying them. Long story short I barely ate that day, made sure not to eat before taking them and all this stuff. the mushrooms i took were dried and looked almost identical to the images i've seen of dried mushrooms among mushrooms sites so i'm 95% sure that what i was taking was authentic. I took just over 2 grams of the stuff straight, chewed it and swallowed. Waited 15 minutes... nothing, then 30... nothing happened. suffice to say after three hours of absolutely no effects i was depressed and i just smoked a couple of bowls.

Do dried mushrooms lose any of their potency? Is eating them straight up the most effective way of ingesting them?

If anyone can answer these questions, maybe shed some light on my failed attempt, or just offer some suggestions I'd really like to climb back up on that horse and give it another try.

Thanks
-MeatyVitamin

sounds like you got ripped off.

mushrooms can lose potentcy if dried with heat, but it takes a lot of heat. around 400 degrees F. i believe.

Eating 2 grams should have been enough to make you trip pretty good especially considering that it would have been your first time.

i would be angry with my dealer if i were you.

I didnt trip the first few times I ate mushrooms. The people around me did, on the same batches of shrooms. So, it could be something like that. I dont think I tripped until my third or fourth time eating them and I havnt had a problem trippin since.

Well after that first let down I'm gonna need a pretty insane trip to lift my spirits. Anyhow have any specialties or tricks so that i can get the absolute most out of my mushrooms, or any tripping tricks for that matter?

Also is there any way to identify "better" mushrooms while i'm interacting with the provider, so i don't buy the shitty ones again. (I'm not gonna get them from the same guy)

Well 1 thing to look for is sort of golden specs.If they were grown theyll most likley have some vermiculite left on them.Unless you tottaly trust the hunter dont buy wild shrooms.If there dried it will be hard to see any bruising.So I guess just keep on buying till you find a good supplyer,Or grow your own.It takes alot of learning and patience but the rewards are endless.

And there it is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me."

i don't think the lemon experience is such a good idea for someone going to experience their first trip.

This won't always be obvious, but psilocybe mushrooms stain blue if they're bruised when fresh. If you notice some areas of bluish-to-dark blue coloration that's very likely indicative that at least what you have are bonafide psilocybin mushrooms. 95% of shrooms sold are of the species psilocybe cubensis, and there is no consistent variation in potency among different 'strains' of cubensis the same way there is with pot. What will cause these mushrooms to lose potency is exposure to air, heat, and (to a lesser extent) light -- but unless the person(s) who grew, dried, and stored them are totally inept, the mushrooms should be fine and will in fact keep for many months without significant loss of potency.
The mushrooms you got were either 'real' but for whatever reason weak, or 'fake' in that they were not psilocybin mushrooms, OR...

You might have an issue with tolerance. SSRI-type antidepressants can dramatically increase tolerance. If you are significantly overweight you will likely have a higher-than-normal tolerance. And in very rare cases some people just naturally have to eat more than normal. Hope things work out better for you next time.

And don't worry about getting creative with your dosing -- making tea, powdering them, dissolving them in an acid beverage... these things are unnecessary. Just eat them; that's what people have been doing for at least 5,000 to 15,000 years.
