Getting ready for a LEVEL 5 trip

#3595230 - 01/07/05 08:54 PM (17 years, 25 days ago)

Hi,

I have tried mushrooms twice before.

In the first one, I had 11 gr. of fresh Copelandia and reached a level 3 trip. In the last one, I had 20 gr. of Cubensis and reached a level 3-4.

I had read quit a lot before tripping. Mushrooms get all my respect and I think they deserve you taking the effort to be as much documented as you can before taking them.

On both occasions I had them with friends.

This time I would like to experience a level 5 trip on my own, without a sitter, and make the best out of it.

I would like this to be an experience to always be remembered.

I want to prepare myself for this moment. Fortunately, I have got some time on my own these days, so that I can devote it towards this goal. I will make a report of my preparation, the trip itself and what did I learn (if any) from it.

I'm looking for some guidance, suggestions, reading material and things I might consider doing before it, and this is where you, the most experienced users and, preferably, the ones who have experienced a level 5 trip before can advice. What would YOU do or what would YOU haved done / not done before you had your first level 5 trip if you could choose again?

My plan is exercising at least twice a day, running for 45 minutes each, the week before the trip.

I would keep a mild diet, low on fat and carbohidrates and rich in fruits, vegetables and proteins. No alcohol. The previous 24 hours I would fast.

That week, time would be spent on reading about entheogens, trip reports and your suggestions mostly. The less TV watching the better, if nothing at all, or maybe some documentaries on nature. Lots of relaxed music listening and slow walks around the place and parks.

I have never tried meditation and I'm not that sure I could understand how to properly do it in one week or if it would be benefficial, but I'm open to suggestions.

My other concern is about the kind of mushrooms and dose I can do it.
Where I live, I have access to almost all kind of fresh mushrooms, as they are legal, but not dried ones. Copelandia Cyanescens are hard to find though.

Terence McKenna suggest a dose over 5 gr. dried Cubensis to reach these levels, which should be equivalent to 50 gr fresh. Dosage calculator here suggests 35.6 gr. of fresh Cubensis for a level 5. In both times, I seemed to be the most sensible person to the effects, as I was the only one to have visual hallucionations both times out of the group of friends.

Some people recommend Philosopher's Stones for more introspective trips, but I have not experience with that. In your opinion, what would be the best mushrooms to have for a level 5 experience, either Cubensis, Philosopher's stones, any other kind...or this really doesn't matter much provided the critical dose to reach a level 5 is reached.

The more I read, the more I realise that the key to a enlightening experience is *relax*, let yourself go and embrace whatever is waiting, be it good or bad.

I will share my findings and post them here, if this can be helpful for another people thinking about doing the same.

So let the flow of information and suggestions begin. Links to "must do" reading material, documents, articles and so on are more than welcomed.
