I need a little advice.

[ethacamp]

Okay well, I am supposed to be doing 5 grams of mushrooms soon, and I need a little help from some of the more experienced people on this forum.

The last time I did mushrooms was around mid to late August, and I did 3.5. I had only done mushrooms one time before that and I had done, around 2 or 2.5.

So my original plan was to do 4g before doing 5, but I'm starting to have second thoughts. I've been doing alot of research and reading lately and I think I can handle it. I have a few friends who have done 5, two of them that belong to this forum, one of them says I should do 4 first, to get a feel of what its like to trip a bit harder, and the other says that I should just do 5g, and says that I'd probobaly be fine if I did, because thats what he did.

So I'm just wondering, what do you guys recommend? I just want to be sure before I do it.

Do 5 grams. You are assuming that these mushrooms are cubenesis(normal potency).

 

[ethacamp]

lmao you arent allowed to say your opinion.
your the friend who told me to do 5 in the first place lmaoo
gotta see what others have to sayyy

 

[BrainEater]

if you feel alright about it, go for 5!! it's a more intense experience and therefore more impressive. and best is that you don't expect anything, just let it overwhelm you. 8 8)

Go for it But be sure you can stay at home.Expect lying in your bed unable to do anything but TRIP HARD. At least that's all I could do while on 6grms. Choose the place where you feel protected and calm. If I were you, I'd trip alone at such dosage.

afer, that's a tough advice that you are giving, but i recon that it's a good one. on that day, a hard lesson will be learned. i would recomend an absent sitter, the kind that only checks you every 10 minutes, so the lonely part of the trip won't be lost. but i agree that alone would be the best sugestion...
i always leave notes to myself before tripping, posted on stuff across the living room, the kitchen, etc. it is fun and you don't get so lost in your world. sometimes, i finish tripping, and i see i replied to myself from outer space. notes like "don't worry, everything is fine and no one is coming in. the door has been locked and the key has been stored in a safe place. just enjoy, because you're doing this to be FUN!" are good idea.
i wish you good tripping!

If you were really comfortable the whole 3,5 grams trip and are sure you're up for it, why not?
If you had a difficult time last time I'd suggest going easy on updosing.

Where I'm from, mushrooms are 10 bucks a gram. I'm just curious how big trips like that work: are you paying 50 bucks or is it cheaper for you?

I still have yet to have my first dose of mushrooms (1.5 grams because of the cost!) and I'm just wondering if I'm really going to have to dish out money for the bigger trips.

Buy in big quantitites, this way you save money 220$ for 42g is the best deal I have had yet though. But if you go to montreal you can have shrooms for 5$/g, less if you buy more

Much thanks. It makes sense now. =D

 

[Meduzz]

10$ per gram, that's quite expensive
we get them from holland, but where i live it's 100€ for 25 grams on the street (don't know exactly about low quantities)

maybe consider growing them yourself?
and in a place where mushrooms are so expensive, you can provide your friends cheap ones

 

[WetStaples]

1) It sounds WAY too complicated to do it well.
2) Dangerous (and immoral) to do it in my parents' house.

Maybe I'll be lucky and find low doses really satisfying. =P

 

[Forkbender]

I grew 600 grams fresh from a basic growbox. That's 60 dry for under 50 bucks and no necessary mycological education.

But tell your parents first.

JFC what perverse prices !!!!! Dry Psilocybe Cyanescens cost 5E for a gramm = a nice trip = 10E for a good trip here . What sort of mushrooms are you all talking about ? , and are you talking about wet or dry ones ?

If you cant grow them at home why dont you go picking , then they are free . BUT FIRST FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING , YOU CAN ONLY DIE ONCE !!!

I don't know what I'm getting, but I know they're dry. When I finally get them (which is god knows when since the person I'm getting them from is lazy) I'm going to post a pic just to be sure of what I'm doing.

And I'm too lazy to go picking, but if I ever do I'll figure it out or post a pic here and hope y'all can do that. =P

Go strait to 5 grams;
I’m sure that they are Cubensis if you aren’t demolished by 2g, which would be the case if working with more potent strains like cyanescens.

If you are clear of mind and intent, have a good set and setting and are comfortable with yourself and those around you (if you are planing on a sitter), then you are most likely prepared for a higher dose adventure.
Just find a nice place to lie down, preferably amidst the delights of nature, and enjoy the experience.

Peace.

I've heard the following theory once:

It is easier to take a heroic dose than a smaller dose, because on a heroic dose, the psilocybine blasts through your ego and lets you experience the cosmic bliss, while on a lower dose your ego still surfaces and can be quite debilitating.

I tend to agree. High dose trips are less likely to derail, but it might be that you will never be the same again (in a somewhere around positive kind of way). Do it in a safe and comfortable surroundings, though.

i also agree with forkbender. i once had this weak shroom trip where my ego was coming in and out, and neither was i alive or dead, and it was a little scary. then i went for a walk so i can ride it off, and a big dog started chasing me. now imagine a zombie running for his life. it was very awkward and i don't want to try that transition phase again. or either you have a big one, or stick to the smaller ones, which makes you contemplate and think, without losing a bit of your ego. an ego is like a soccer ball: it's a tough thing to pass to someone in your team, but when you do it to the right person, the rewards might be spectacular!

yeah around where i live its usually like 5 bucks a gram i actually got an oz for $120 a couple weeks ago that was a pretty good deal i thought

 

[GOD]

I agree with Forkbender and Daytripper . A decent dose gives you something to do , entertains you , leads you . A small dose can often make you confused , as if you have one foot in this world and one in the other world .
