Onset

[IJesusChrist]

I asked this a while back and I lost the responses

When do you guys feel onset?

I've been experimenting with caffeine and other weak drugs after my last mushroom trip where I swear I could feel it (and even see patterns) within 5 minutes.

This kind of scared me because it was too strong to be a placebo and I had the iching in the back of my mind of why the hell am I already seeing visuals - this isn't good...

So, when concentrating, do any of you feel the onset start almost immidiately?

Caffeine speeds up your metabolism, which is why you noticed yourself coming up faster than usual.

With mushrooms I usually notice the first signs of effects within five minutes or so, but I have the worlds fastest metabolism. :wink:
Then it usually takes me 15-45 minutes until I'm tripping properly.

To be honest I can't really notice too many effects for about 20 minutes after ingestion.

Usually mushrooms take a while for me, but I have had experiences where they kicked in real quick, with dry mushies that I crunched into powder and ate on an empty tummy. Onset was almost immediate, I was peaking like crazy in 30 minutes. (I tend to feel good acid within a few minutes as well.)

What I meant was I would take caffeine, or medicine and see how quickly i could feel their onset - which for caffeine is... literally within 4 minutes i feel my head become "sharper".

Alcohol I can feel it when it hits my stomach - but usually the drunk feelin comes within 5 minutes, and of course the actual drunk takes a bit longer.

As for shrooms, I always get them dry, chew the shit out of them, more than a soup, and down it - I usually end up feeling it by the time it hits my stomach from the absorbption in my mouth,...

anyone else feeling cold limbs during the onset?

I can notice even the slightest altering of my conciousness. I can drink something with caffiene and notice the buzz totally. Just about any drug i feel minute effects just from it passing through my mouth. With mushrooms I start to feel slightly different pretty quickly (5-10 mins). Body high is noticeable by 20 usually, but really sets in around the 30 min range. 45 mins to an hour, things might get brighter and maybe slight visual responses. At the hour mark it seems to pick up pace with mind and visuals. hour and 10 mins im usually trippin. Hour and a half im peaked. If its a strong trip and i dont struggle then im usually gone somewhere between hour and a half and 2 hours. By that i mean that i have no clue whats happening. At like hour 3 ill start comin down and putting things together, trying to remember what happened during the trip.

Depends on what you have in your stomach.

For me, I try to not eat anything for about 2 hours before I ingest mushrooms. I start feeling light effects 10-15 mins after I eat them, then a full-blown trip after 30-45 mins or so.

It took about an 90 mins the fist time I tried. Everyone's different though.

I often trip within 10 minutes, even if i have eated a hour before.. But i don't mind, all that waiting

When I drink a strong mushroom tea I can feel some effects before the cup is empty (which is like after 5 minutes).
At first I thought this must be placebo, but I can definitely feel an immediate light-headed buzz after 5 minutes. This light-headedness is getting stronger until it turns into a real "whoooo I don't know what to do anymore". This is about 20-30 minutes later then. Then the comeing-up has really started and is going on until about t + 1 hour.

I've recently asked myself if I was really feeling something yet when I was drinking San Pedro extract. After 10 minutes or so I also had this light-headedness. But then it didn't go anywhere. Like one hour later I still pretty much felt the same. And then suddenly some time later I opened my eyes and realized I was pretty much tripping good. Once again I was reminded of Hunter Thompson's quote from F&L "good mescaline hits you late" (or something like that)

When eaten I feel an effect within 5 or 10 minutes, but not anything really worth mentioning, takes about 40 minutes to start seeing the patterns and an hour after ingestion I'm definitely tripping.
Then I usually need another 20 minutes to get totally comfy in the effect.

When in tea, 5 minutes till I see colors and patterns and after 10 to 15 minutes, all heaven breaks lose...
