5 Grams, What to Expect?

Tomorrow I'm tripping on 5 grams of some mushrooms that I just picked. I have tripped 3 times all on at least an eighth, how is this trip going to be different than the other ones? What should I expect when taking this much? All the other times I tripped I had some food in my stomach, so this time I'm going to wait at least a couple hours after eating. I'm excited all my trips have been great so far

you should at least know what to expect as in intensity, might be fine, might go psycho.
your not supposed to eat. if you do, eat/drink lightly.

If they're dry cubensis then expect strong visuals, great body high, and a total mind fuck. 5 grams is a strong dose, I'd advise keeping some pre-rolled joints around if you smoke so you can calm yourself down if things get dicey. Be prepared for the possibility of ego-death, it's certainly possible with that kind of dose. Above all, keep a good mindset and nothing can hurt you. Good vibes and good luck

What to expect........ummmmm
Tripping FACE! Yes, I have actually heard someone say that before, and I thought it was funny as hell(because it takes very little to make me laugh my ass off, but the small phrase has to be just right).
Honestly KrishnaDreamer, what you have said here is funny to me in a few ways. Why?
-This guy has taken 3.5 grams a good few times, so he can kind of assume certain things about a higher dose, and im sure he has thought about it.
-T mckenna called 5+ grams the "heroic dose", there are some people who strongly disagree. Im not one of them and im certain that all the highest dosers I know are the dumbest/most simple/non-trip buddy material type people I know. Thats just my experience with the exception of myself and one other person.
- I get visuals on .5 grams. Ya, they are really fucking obvious. Some people cant see pronounced visuals on 3.5 grams.
-expectations are all useless for the most part, unless you know so little that you plan on taking a shitload of shrooms your first time. Some information can help, but *some expectation-oriented shit can really just be counter-productive.
After all his 3.5 gram trips, I think he is the only one who has the answer to his question, "how will I react"?
I think 3.5 grams is one hell of a trip.
So good luck buddy. 5 grams is quite the undertaking for some people, and most of the people I know who use psychedelics.

Look to the post above you.
You, meaning YOU have the most accurate answer to your question.
Good to see another lone tripper. If you ever find someone that "fits the bill", that can be really great too. I only know one person who trips like me, and when we trip together its fucking weird as hell. Amazing to say the least, but surprizingly less amazing that most of my solo trips.

Yeah the reason I've always done it alone is because I moved out of state and now I have no friends close enough to do it with. But I can definitely see how shrooms are a lot better alone, it would definitely be weird with most of the people I know.. and even most of my old friends. I think acid would be better with other people. Everytime I trip I'm totally aware and comfortable with what's going on (except for my second trip when I made a realization that changed my life, it was scary at the time but I am happy about it now), and I think "I can totally handle more next time". I'm very open minded so I'm pretty sure it will go well.

People can ruin a trip reeeeeeal fast. Just a few weeks ago I was tripping in the forest alone, listening to pink floyd and loving every molecule on this planet. Suddenly I hear a bunch of people coming towards me. This is not exactly unexpected at my school, I assumed they were a group of kids going to smoke a bowl and I assumed they'd pass me by. Nope, it was about 15 kids, most on mushrooms, walking out to the beach. I was invited by one of my friends who was with the group to come with and smoke a bowl. I accepted the offer and started to follow the kids. After about 20 minutes of wasting time I get fed up trying to follow a bunch of immature trippers and decide to leave. I get a bunch of shit for leaving and immediately I start feeling worse. Nausea hits me like an uppercut, my eyes start to water, I begin to panic. I flee the group and start running back towards civilization. That run was pure terror. I was filled with the knowledge that if I stopped for even a moment my fate would be horrific. Dark shapes pulsed out of the woods towards me. I saw twisted demonic faces leering at me, laughing at my plight. Then I hit the road, and light, and it was like life had been breathed back into my mind. I looked back at the woods and let out a deep sigh, then made my way back to my home to spend the rest of my trip wrapped up in blankets

Here's my experience with 5g of mushrooms with the lights off and SHPONGLE playing loud. I'm not the same since that trip.

Expect the unexpected. You will have a very interesting experience for sure! I had the most amazing night the first time i tried five grams, i'll never forget it. Be wary, but don't have any inhibitions, if you're gonna do it then DO IT and never look back!

If i was you, i would never go that high, ever. It tripped me out and now i'm going to have to wait a long time to go again. I would keep the doses low to keep the magic flowing

I'd say it all depends on where you want to go... You can play it safe and still have a great time and never get to see what's behind that door unless you're willing to take a chance with "heroic" doses as stated above.

Awww, the heroic tripper thread! Five grams is a big dose. It will not all be fun. At some points it will be very painful. You may find yourself crying on the floor vomiting at some point. If you can handle it, you will learn a lot, but you will go though some Hell to get there. Than you can post the report on the shroomery and avoid talking about the bad stuff so all these guys will look up to you!

Since that trip, I'm having fun feeling every single emotion. From sadness to hapinness. It's pretty weird, but for some reason I enjoy all of them... I think I just enjoy life more than I did before. Wich is a good thing isn't it?

I think the best thing to do, would be to not expect anything.
And remember that all thoughts are manifested from your own psyche. All images are your subjective experience of the eternal void that is life... Oh and most importantly; do not attempt to control any aspect of the trip, remember your reason for eating such a dose.
Just go with the flow...

I completely disagree with that.
I'm not saying the higher you go the better, but larger doses certainly don't make for "less magical" experiences.
They may be more confusing, and certainly not as light-hearted. But they can be just as awe inspiring, if not more, then regular doses.
Obviously the OP knows what he's getting into, he's going into it with a great mindset, and he's had experience with doses fairly close to this before.
Have an AWESOME time man. Turn of your mind, relax, and flooooaaat down stream. It is NOT dying, it is SHINING.

what i meant was, if you are uncertain about any aspect of the dose, you shouldn't take it. if its too intense, it'll end up bad. just remember to relax and if you start getting scared, try breathing exercises. good luck

Well I already came down, it was the best thing I've ever gone through and it wasn't that intense even. Actually it was less intense than my other trips, because I didn't make myself analyze everything I just kinda went with it. If that makes any sense.

you should probably go with .5 increases, i went from 3.5 to 4.5 and it was waaay too much to handle for me (an asshole who was tripping with us had alot to do with it but still) anyways the problem is you definately dont want to have a bad trip on 5 gs, just make sure you plan it to a T with regards to your team and your setting and stuff.
Hope you have a good time tho

That's foolish though, you can never be 100% about any trip, even a low one.
