The first Time . . .?

[IAmTheNight]

I'd say 2.5g would probably be a bit too much for a first timer.
My first mushroom trip was on 2.5g Columbians and I could see how that could be too much for some people's first times.

haha funny, that's exactly my thought :wink:
[quote:3jw45f0w]2.5g is a bit of a difficult number to work with.

Explain difficult, please.[/quote:3jw45f0w]

All I meant by it being a difficult number to work with is that there's a little too much there for one dose, but not really enough two.
I guess the best thing to do would be take 1.8g and save the other 0.7g to top up with after a couple of hours, or something.

ah okay :wink:

Or 10 grams in silent darkness with a proper guide. It just shatters your world, nothing drastic. Wink

Dipping your toe in the water can make you afraid of diving in.
Resistance can build up and make you want to turn back when you can't.
If you take enough to break through this resistance without noticing, there will be no problem. Just know that you are going to be fine.

Don't try this in the wrong setting/mood. Don't be afraid. Don't be around people you don't know.

Hmmm yes...true.

I'm not a big fan of small doses, half an ego is usually worse than no ego at all.

Half an ego tries to back up the missing wing.

Propulsive force of this mental repairing process, or reminding to keep distance from sober levels, is both an interference within oneself.

As putting one hand over one eye and trying to see proper depth in the environment. The logical reaction of human configuration. Which keeps occuring unless if one intentionally keeps reminding to exclude it.

Seriously Fork, if I didn't have (such) a (sweet) girlfriend I'd ask you to marry me!

I don't think there's anything wrong with starting steadilly though.
Although I can't speak from own experience, since I did 60 grams fresh the first time.
I did however do smaller doses and felt too inbetween to enjoy any of it.
But for some people 2.5 grams is already quite the adventure (ofcourse not as full blown as a "proper heroic dose" but that's completely arbitrairy)

lol

My first dose was about 2,5 grams and I already had the feeling I was only on the doorstep of a much greater universe. I think it depends on what you want. With 1,3 grams you can have fun, but it won't take you very far into the psychedelic realm. That is my experience.

How was the trip Lisphis?

 

[byt3z]

I took 15gr fresh the first time, it wasn't really a psychedlic experience.
Just some mild hallucinations and some mindloops. The setting wasn't too great either, people running in and out of the room the whole time....
Besides that, I think it's a good proportion to start with, maybe a little bit more.

pussys stay pussys . If they dont want to trip they shouildnt take drugs if they do then 5 - 10 grams , dry weight in the right set and setting . Trips cant be to strong just to weak or in the wrong set and setting .

 

[st.bot.32]

I have this argument all the time with some people. I do agree people should jump in and experience a good dose if you're going to use psychedelics, and the sooner the better. I like to have a good dose about once a year.. if the perfect setting came up more often I'd probably do it more frequently too.

But I have to disagree with the rest. There's more than one way to do things, and there's more than one way to use psychedelics non recreationally. I think you run into this in psychedelic users from different backgrounds. People who introduced me to psychs in the first place were creative types who swear by smaller doses as an occasional creative tool eg for painting or make music etc. Some of the better work I feel I've done has been on moderate doses of mushies and blotter.. I was still functional but certain doors were opened that made me rethink my creative process and reexamine my senses. This becomes impossible when you are on +500mics of acid or 10 grams of mushrooms, that's a completely different experience altogether, a different mental focus and done for different reasons.

 

[Crimzen]

I agree
i enjoy the higher doses simply because i aim for a more intense experience
but the one time i had a smaller dose was very interesting as i had some very in depth conversations with my best friend
If psychedelic drugs were easier to come by where i live i'd like to try writing on smaller doses and doing other creative things, it'd be interesting to experiment with it, unfortunately when we get it here its like once a year, twice if we're lucky, so i go for the higher dosage as its more worthwhile if you can only do it very infrequently

Also, for many people a moderate first time dose can give a nice and learningful experience, raise interest in the matter etc. in a friendly way, making them want to try again on a higher dose, while on a high first time dose they would block while tripping, having to experience pure hell for 5 hours and scare them off psychedelics (and perhaps for a certain part of themselves) for the rest of their life. I think bad trips (the self clinging to its familiar definition by fear of the new way in which it is experienced) can happen on high doses as well. And for many first time users that would be a pity because it would scare them too much. Many people (like me) like to take it easy in unknown terrains, with psychedelics just as with other things in life. It just depends on who you are, and for most first time users I would say better safe than sorry, better 1.5g than 10g.

You know you can't get magic mushrooms in Amsterdam any more, right?
You can still get Philosophers Stone truffles, but that's it.

+1 :thumbsup:

Although I personally can't do moderate doses of mushrooms, it really gets on my nerves.
Where LSD is perfect for me, 100mics of acid is perfect for my creative process.
