I don't take drugs regularly, but i have tried them and did stuff like pot a lot in college, but ive never tried shrooms.
im really curious what it would be like, but have no idea where i would get them and im kind of scared i'd have a bad trip... is this normal also should i try them? (just out of curiosity)
I think you're better off not doing them. Bad trips can haunt you. It's not worth it.
It all really depends on your mental/emotional state prior to taking them and if you think you can handle it. Also the most important thing is WHY do you want to do them? Ironic that the times I got answers were the times I was searching for nothing.
I have done shrooms many a time (about 17 or 18 I think) and can tell you this much, it changes your perspective on nearly everything in life, but in a subtle and very good way. I'll tell you now (you probably already know) the chemical that gets you high, is literally giving your body food poisoning which is why you sometimes vomit or get nauseous. Your first time you want to buy an eighth ($30-40) which will make you trip for about 7-8 hours depending on the person, sleep is almost impossible while the shrooms are in effect do don't plan on sleeping for a good 8-10 hours. I'll tell you some of the effects; emotions and thoughts flow extremely faster, small things will set you off completely (I played MW3 on Survival and started shouting and crying a little bit, I felt I was the character in the game), you will laugh a LOT, colors will be very much enhanced, and simple functions may be otherwise difficult (I tried hitting a pipe on them but kept laughing at how it felt, also went through about half a pack lighting the smokes and watching them burn down unable to take a drag). Keep in mind again, THIS IS A POISON and a DEADLY one, so use in moderation, not too often, not too much. Happy tripping!
ive always wanted to try shrooms...ive never been able to get my hands on some...i have friends who have done them...they said it was a spiritual learning experience..if its like acid i think that its too strong..acid freaked me put. anyway shrooms are natural and if u want to expand your mind go for it
Shrooms are incredible. You must be positive about it and do it with people you genuinely trust, then it should be a blast.
If you're a positive, happy go lucky kinda guy/gal, you're content with yourself and your life, go for it! When it's good, it's incredible! Make sure you're in a positive environment, preferably in nature (you feel at one with nature in a way) and do it with some trusty friends :) Make sure you only have small does too. Like I'd say about 30 to start with?
On the other hand, I've had them a few times and gone bad (at the end) almost every time apart from when I was a bit drunk too. I had depression at the time and was a lot more negative. So this is definitely why I had bad trips. If you have any sort of depression, or are a negative, pessimistic person, I'd advise you not to. I was all of them and stupidly still took them a few times thinking I'd be okay this time :P
Make sure you have a handgun with you and consider stealing a small airplane.
I'm in the same boat. I really want to try them.
I'd say go for it. Try a low to moderate dose, make sure you're in a comfortable place where you'll be spending the duration of the trip. Make sure you're not with "shady people." Don't allow bad music into the situation.
Surround yourself with positive things and people that make you comfortable and happy. Be among your friends that you trust and who trust you, and make sure at least one of them is sober the whole time, to make sure no one does anything stupid.
Can't go wrong!
The psychedelic experiences I've had have been some of the most important moments of my life. They shouldn't be taken lightly though and it's important for the set and setting to be ideal in order to have a good, positive trip. Out in nature on a warm day can be lovely, or in an environment you feel very comfortable being in. You should be around people you really trust and avoid public places as much as possible. If you have/think you might have any underlying mental issues it would be best to avoid them. Or if you've just gone through something traumatic, such as breaking up a relationship etc. Otherwise if you feel calm, content and have a good frame of mind you should absolutely go ahead. I so wish everyone in the right mind and right place could experience a trip. It can be absolutely incredible!
I'd start with a low dose. Read up as much information as possible. Maybe buy a book or two. This way you can find out things about set and setting, where you can find them, you could even try growing them. Although it's a long process that takes a lot of time and effort and isn't legal in many countries.
Psychedelics can be incredibly strange and if your normally drawn to the weird, they very well could be the thing for you! I've cried out of pure joy, been completely blown away by the beauty of the world, giggled my head off. Terrence McKenna is a good guy to listen to about the magical mushroom!
Do it! Typically, you will learn a lot about yourself. It does really depend on your mental/emotional state prior to taking them what type of trip you will have. Some trips will just make you laugh your ass off and others will make you think on a deeper level. If you have any social anxiety your best bet is to do it at home alone or with a close friend. Watch a funny movie, music is always awesome on shrooms. The best night of my life was on mushrooms and I'll never forget it.
