I got Doubts

[MaistoHelix]

Hey

I bought a growkit about a month ago,the idea is to use some mushrooms together with a friend,but he barely has time so it just doesnt come to it..

But i've got a dried harvest just waiting to be used and the second flush is on the way.Being interested and curious about mushroom effects has made me a little inpatient and i'm planning to just do it,he has time friday so he can be my sitter(i will ask him first offcourse),he doesnt want to try it because he will be here 4 hours max and he has to drive home..

But reading all the stories on several forums has made me a little scared,bad trips,too much dosage and bad experiences..you read it everywhere...also good stories but i just dont wanna freak out,the idea is to have some fun,maybe when i get more experienced i will try more for a trip effect,but i'm just curious how it works on a low dosis..

The mushrooms are 'Mexican',so not too strong..

But being in doubt isn't probably the best state of mind to try this,so i was curious what others think,am i over reacting?I just want to feel a little something and satisfy my curiousity,can i still do that when i'm in doubt?,how much should i take?(dried)

I'm 39 years old and a cannabis veteran,i smoke every day..will the mushrooms have less effect then?Are there any simularities in what kind of effect you get?

I'm in good health and i feel pretty good so my plan is to take 2 grams and see what happens....next time i can be my friends sitter and i kinda like the whole idea of somebody by your side keeping it real.

Lots of questions as you can see,advice would be greatly appreciated!

Don't feel bad because of experiences you've read on the internet. People are more likely to post their bad trips than their good I think because they had a bigger impact.

I'd love to have a bad trip sometime... Can't say I haven't tried. Mushrooms show you yourself and you will only go bad if you don't want to look.

Welcome to the forum, MaistoHelix!

You'll probably be just fine. Don't eat a few hours before taking the shrooms and don't take any cannabis before. If you can, don't smoke the night before. Relax. You got someone to look after you, so you'll be fine. Make sure he doesn't take you to a hospital (unless of course you hurt yourself physically), it is best to just sit it out if you have hard times.

2 grams sounds about right for a first experience, but you have to ask yourself how sensitive you are to mindexpansion. Does your mind meander through the universe after a few hits of weed? Then you're probably better of taking less. Do you only feel a slight buzz after two joints? Even 2 grams might be a bit on the low side, but it is better safe than sorry.

Another thing: do you have a history of psychosis/mental illness? Does it run in your family? Do you use any medication? These are definately things to look out for. We don't know any of the psychological issues you might be dealing with (you might even not know some of the subconscious shit you got going on). If you are sane and not afraid of yourself and what knowledge lies within, there is nothing to worry about. If you are unsure you are sane, mushrooms might be a bit of a hard way to find out, but they can help as well, especially if used in the companion of experienced guides.

Have a good trip and spread the word. If you have any questions please ask, because there are a lot of people around here who probably know what you need to know. Knowledge is free, you just need to ask.

if you are healthy in body and mind i would go for a decently strong dose

i would think that the first time you ever experience something you would want it to be powerful -- not too powerful -- but powerful enough to show you just exactly what these psychedelics can do.

i cant really say for sure since im usually around p. cubes, but i would say go for atleast 1/8. thats just my opinion though. i just dont like seeing people taking these tiny doses and then just either having no respect for the drug for the next time they do it, or just dont even return to the drug because they didnt have the chance to see the real effects.

be safe. have fun.

Does your mind meander through the universe after a few hits of weed?

Man i wish it would!No just a buzz and maybe a little fantasy going wild thing when i smoke alot,but that's just fun,i'm allways in control,i drive the car and Mary is the road!Overall i feel pretty positive and good when i'm stoned..but i touched every boundery Mary showed me over all these years,and i want to cut a hole in the fence(srooms) and expand a little..never had a bad experience on weed in 26 years..

Another thing: do you have a history of psychosis/mental illness? Does it run in your family? Do you use any medication?

Nope illnesses and no medication,if i would i would never take any drugs i guess...

And respect for srooms,after reading wonderfull stories i have nothing but respect,also because its a natural thing....but i wanna start on a small level,and build it up cause i believe its the best way for me,others may dive in the deep first time,but i am allways a little selfprotective in these situations,probably the reason why i posted this tread.

all i can say is dont doubt the shroomies. and have a good setting. and leave your mind open for anything to enter. think good vibes. and put on some pink floyd(my choice)

I think if you change your intent for ingesting the substance, it would help greatly. When you look at the mushrooms as a sacred substance, and a teacher substance, then you can never go wrong. When a bad trip comes around, you will learn more than you can imagine! This is the way I view these substances. To me they are sacred substances that are to be used for teaching ones self about himself, and to connect to the connected oneness that exists. Nothing more beautiful then the connected oneness! I also find if you increase the dose, it becomes less scary. When you cross that line, where ego-death occurs, you realize very quickly that you are NOT in control and you have no other choice but to let go and just exist. Just remember, you are an observer on a ride, enjoy it!

peace & love, and have a good experience!
