I'm alive, I'm dead, the torture of being no one

you have to respect it! it can harm you.
but if you fear it you will go into the experience with that mindSET. and i go on and on about SETTING. the place and space you are in. thats at least as important as set. it influences your mind set in ways you may never be aware of.
big (there is nothing heroic about it) doses take planning.
its words like heroic that make you scared. neurolinguistics! bad mantras.
take my word for it. im not lying to you. you can do huge amounts and enjoy(at least most of) it.
and who knows, you may not even get the shits.

druglessdouglas, I like the points you are making about the separation of recreational users and psychonauts. I believe it to be true, and now see it even in myself. I see that the doses I was taking was because I was scared to go out of my comfort zone, and I would make my way up to those dose until I felt comfortable in that zone, and then would up my dose. Thanks druglessdouglas for opening my mind to something that I have even been doing 'wrong'. I have not been paying the proper respect towards the mushrooms or myself. I am going to up my dose more than I thought I was comfortable with. Nothing crazy, I think my next dose will be 7 grams dried, and I will see where I get from there. Thanks druglessdouglas.

PEACE & LOVE

user_1919, there is no right or wrong. but im glad you can see. we (especially me) spend our whole lives fooling ourselves. reverse engineering our reason so it doesnt clash with our self image. sometimes we get a flash of the truth. insight, epiphany, enlightenment, whatever. then its gone. all you can do is hang on to the memory of it.
im sure you will learn a lot :thumbsup:

Nice put, user_19, Fork, and dougless, despite the screaming attempts.

Next time I'll stay within my comfort zone to have more joy and time to realise mystical thought patterns instantly during the trip.

This was more like a total wash and showering experience with hot and ice cold water to transform my mind.

I am sure it will be a beautiful experience. I want to perfect the setting, as you said druglessdouglas.

PEACE & LOVE

I think 50g would just black-out my mind for good - but I am relatively sensitive to psychedelics (have always been). I can imagine that some people might be 5-6 times more resistant to pychedelics than I am. When I was 18 or so then 1g of shrooms plus a few bongs would take me into a state where I wasn't comfortable going out while friends of mine would take 2g, smoke more bongs and still drive their cars and say they feel "sober".
Maybe my saying 5g plus is more like a 20g plus for others? I really don't know?
However, the description of your trip makes me sure we got into the same realm, no matter how many grams were involved
