New to shrooms, have not tried them yet, need help
    #7946118 - 01/28/08 04:38 PM (16 years, 4 days ago)

I have no tried shrooms yet, i am trying to learn as much about them as i can before trying them. I want a good trip, with strong hallucinations, i have heard that for the first time you should take a low dosage, but then i heard people say that a low dosage may not even go past laughing, what would you recomend?, Also shrooms are really hard to get your hands on especially where i live...brooklyn, NY lol. What dosage should i take to have a good trip with strong hallucinations and all, note i plan on doing this with someone sober and willing to take care if anything goes wrong and with someone who will be joining me also.

2g of cubensis is a good starter dosage, but some people do an eighth. I did about 2g my first time and it was great.

Sounds like you want at least 2g, but if a strong experience is your aim, a whole 1/8th is probably the way to go. Personally I don't like having a sober person around when tripping. They're operating on a completely different wavelength, which can sometimes be stressful or a bit of a bringdown. Just my $0.02

I find if you and a friend are tripping, and a couple other friends are just smoking bowls you'll be in the same headspace as your friend and just tune out the friends smoking bowls, or look at them with that you don't know what you're missing smug type grin.

but if you're the only one tripping than yeah it kinda throws you off to see sober people.

Shroom conversation is the best kind of social interaction imo.

I dont know if you got sufficient replies, but heres my 2 cents also.

i did 3.5g my first time but to me, it really wasnt that strong. Heres some advice for you. You can always always always read up to a certain point to inform yourself about what a 3.5 gram trip on mushrooms will be like, but nothing will prepare you as much as a lower dosage will. Even so, I think that as long as you are relaxed and really able to go with the flow of your trip, a 3.5 gram trip should be acceptable. Just make sure any cellphones are off, if you have friends or family calling you, and that there are no obligations for you. Just pick a day where you shouldnt have to do anything at all and make sure you have a clear mind and go with the trip.

Tell us about your first trip after you do it, I'm excited to see how this goes.

Even though you say you want a strong trip, I'd advise you to start off with a mild dose and go from there. Visuals are an interesting part of the psychedelic experience, but they're not everything. Most people who've never tripped before imagine psychedelics as just seeing cool shit, but the way it changes your thought patterns and perception, including self-perception, are just as important. It's very hard to describe and virtually impossible to prepare for, and while it can be an extremely joyful and mind-blowing experience, it can also be deeply unsettling and overwhelming. If you can find an eighth, you should be able to buy a quarter or so too, and take 1.5-2 grams your first time in order to get a better feel for it and then take more later if you still want to. I'd also agree with other posters and suggest tripping with a good friend since it feels a lot more natural and comfortable to talk to someone who's going through the same thing as you, much more so than with someone who's sober, although a sober sitter who you trust is also good to have.

Maybe a good idea would be to have someone nearby or accessible if things are going bad and you need help, if that helps you relax about it. But I generally agree that having those around you being on the same wavelength is helpful, especially when you're first starting out. It's a fun ride, its nice to have companions. Enjoy!!!

Thats exactly how most of my friends are... i like how there really is no drug test for shrooms, they dont smell, and it doesnt funk up your lungs...

the first time i remember eating shrooms was probably a eighth dried and was plenty. there were several of us who all consumed eighths, except for one guy who said mushrooms make him freak out. the guy who did not eat them ended up flipping his lid in front of us all for hours on end, it was hysterical really. he was sitting on the couch with a big pink stuffed animal just going mental for hours making us all laugh..

several hundred shroom trips later, the experiences do not really make me laugh much anymore.

my first was an eighth, and it was as strong as i expected acid to be. so it blew me out of the water. i had an excellent trip although i was the only one in a group of drunks. (the friend i planned to do it with took the same, and felt nothing but a stomach ache, oddest thing)
it was a life changing experience and opened my mind.
if your ready for this with no doubts or worries then do 1/8

have no fear, and don't fight it
let go of this reality, and explore a new one ^_^

have fun

I'd do 2gs absolutely my first time. 2gs is still pretty intense for a first timer, especially if you do 'em right, and any less is just gonna be frustrating. If you really wanna bite the stick, do an eigth, but only if you're really fucking brave haha.

Oh, and sitters suck man. I'd shroom with somebody so I wouldn't be alone, but like mentioned above, you REALLY are on a different level, and you'll no exactly what we are talking about if you do decide to get a sitter.

I don't even think that lower doses prepare you for an 1/8th. I had done some RC's numerous times before I did shrooms, so I knew very well what tripping was. Then came the mindfuck, and I was not prepared.

But you won't ever really be prepared, is what I'm saying. Unless you up your dosage by like .2g for 10 trips going in to 1/8th, it's still gonna take you off guard and NOT be what you expected.

So imo just take 1/8th. It probably won't be 100% fun, but that's not what it's all about. When it's over and you've returned from outer fucking space, your entire world view will be shattered and you will have gained a perspective on life that most people can't even imagine.

good point.

that said, i ate two grams my first time. looking back, i wish i would have eaten more.

whoever said fear is the enemy got it right. don't second guess yourself. if you are genuinely interested in exploring a different reality, you will love it.

Anyone who is telling you to not have a trip sitter, has not had a bad trip, Ive seen people on mushrooms not care anyone but themselves (given this was a bad case) but you REALLY REALLY should have a sober person around you. Someone you TRUST.

But either way you probaly be fine, but better to be safe than sorry. Not trying to scare you in anyway, many times on mushrooms I felt like I could have walked into a police station and had a friendly chat with the officers there.

I wish you safest trip possible.

Infinite clarity is beautifully deceptive

I recommend 2gs or maybe even 2.5 for the first time. I first tried 2.5 and found it to be quite amazing. Just experiencing a change in perception like that will blow your mind. So it would probably be best to start off with a smaller dose and get a feel for what a trip is like, and I promise you'll want to take a higher dose next time.

Also, I tried it with 2 friends and later a sober friend came over. At first he thought we were insane or really really drunk. It's hard to describe how I felt with him there, but you are definitely aware of him being on a different wavelength and it might kill the vibe. It's totally up to you and you might feel more comfortable having someone around.

Good luck and have fun!

as you want strong hallucinations

find a safe place and do 3.5+

I did like 7 on my first trip in a public place.

First time on acid I did 4 hits also for the most part in a public place haha (subway/back room of subway) rode a public transit bus too which was kinda awkward.

I did shrooms the first time about 3 months ago with some friends. We each took 3.5 gram dosages. There were 3 of us on shrooms, and 2 of us who weren't. I found that I interacted much better with those who were on shrooms as well. The two sober guys seemed out of place to me. I would recommend that you have a friend around with you, and especially have somewhere safe. Have fun :P

Start off 2-3 grams. It will hit you harder than you think your first time.
