Default To shroom or not to shroom? [by myself]

So, I wanna finally fucking eat some of my shrooms, I've been waiting for SO long now it's incredible. I have no college tomorrow and not really anything to do, so, if I shroomed tonight, do you think it'd be worth it?

I'll be by myself, but my mum and sister will be in bed sleeping. This isn't my first time doing shrooms, done low doses twice before, but this time I'm guna eat about 3g of cubes, so it should be rather more intense. I here they're good shrooms too, as the recommended dose is 2.5g

Anyway, do you think it'll be all right to do them, or will it be really sketchy for me with family in the house?

As long as they aren't up to bother you, then you should be fine. So long as you can handle the drug without doing something stupid, you shouldn't need a sitter. Whether or not you can do this is up to you, but keep in mind: almost no one thinks they can't handle the drug. I know idiots who have never done drugs in their life that want to do hallucinogens, which I believe is irresponsible and stupid. It's up to you, but you don't seem like a dumbass so I'd say do it and have fun. Also, I'm jealous :(

I probably will be able to handle it and not do something stupid, but being my first time on a fairly high dose I don't know exactly how I would react, so I'm a bit more cautious about it.

I jsut get bored when i trip shrooms alone. Its so much mroe fun when your with real people to laugh with. The one thing I always want is to cuddle up with a girl when im on mushies. Boredom gives alot of people anxiety and anxiety is the cause of bad trips. But I wish you the best. Happy trippin.

i never get bored on psychs,so many things to think about... you can lose yourself in it for an eternity, and then look at the clock to see only a couple of minutes have passed... or hell, go for a walk if its a nice night, but given that spring is coming up fast, the flowers are blooming, and the air is warm i want to trip in the day the next time i can get ahold of some mushies...

....Are you by any chance suicidal while sober.... or happen to have a terribly depressing life?

I can't even imagine having a bad trip on shrooms, every time I do them I get SOOO happy and feel so good. Suicide is the last thing on my mind. I normally roll around on my floor laughing while tripping out at the ceiling (ceilings are CRAZY trippy) and blasting music. If the weather is good I also go for a walk in a nearby forest.

I've k-holed by myself in my room whilst my mum was down stairs before, that was pretty fun, so I guess if I can handle a k-hole then I can handle mushrooms.

Looks like I'm set to go :)

Default Re: To shroom or not to shroom? [by myself]

I ate 10.5 grams by myself once (3/8ths)

I just remember looking around, laughing maniacally then stopping suddenly, and then laughing maniacally then stopping. I eventually fell to my knees, everything hovering and morphing. And the colours! Oh my sweet baby Jesus the colours were something to behold!

I also remember sticking my hand in my pants and fondling myself and it just felt UNBELIEVABLY awesome. I wasn't even masturbating, just feeling it gave me such a thrill.

I blacked out and woke up in random places. I once woke up underneath my keyboard craving to read some Chuck Norris jokes. Oh and to watch Hostel.

The bad part to this trip, however, was that after the peak was over, I woke up thinking that I could actually do ANYTHING I wanted to do. It is true in a sense, but I didn't understand the concept of consequences. I lit up a smoke right in my room, went upstairs and blew it in my parents' face (it was only 7 at night).

All hell broke loose, they searched my room and found 9 empty bottles of robogels. I hadn't taken it that night, but I was in no state to explain this. They called an ambulance and I was sent to the hospital.

Perhaps the neatest part about this whole thing was that the entire time I was tripping out on the floor, Infected Mushroom's Converting Vegetarians album was playing on repeat through my guitar amp. The song "Elation Station" was playing through my head the entire ambulance ride, it it was something intense.

Whenever I hear any of the songs on that album now, I get the most obtuse mushroom flashback until it stops playing.

Mushrooms are a very unique drug. I'm thinking that because I had eaten so much that it made me feel like I was an animal living in the wild like we used to again, so I didn't have to worry about consequences. Its the only way I can figure it.

To OP, if you eat an eighth on your own, just make sure you've got some trippy music and some delicious juice to drink. Sunflower seeds are a nice touch, too. I don't recommend watching tv or anything like that, it is a huge waste of a trip. If you are experienced with psychs already, and eighth won't be any need to worry.

I understood it at the time. I was actually screaming like OMG OMG OMG I FIGURED IT OUT and shit like that. I came up with a bunch of crazy shit like that, but I only wrote a few things down.

"When you die, you achieve immortality, trust me, im orange."

^That was painted on my kitchen floor in blue paint....

Needless to say I have no fucking idea what I was thinking.

Shrooms give me the worst body load now. I used to enjoy them but now any more than a gram and all I can do is lie down/rest and close my eyes, watch the colors.

I've had my times with the 5-7 gram trips and I learned what I needed to know. My first trip (5g or so) showed me the meaning and futility of life as we know it (After I had spent 3 hours watching carpets flow and lamps bend, couldn't watch tv because the windows were singing to me) as I sat alone in my room, depressing me and putting me the closest I've ever been to a 'bad trip'. I feel that you are wasting your shrooms by using them in this setting, especially if you're not overcome with body load like me.

One of the best times in my life was a friday.... the night before christmas eve at the local mall with two good friends, all of us on about 2-3g's of good shrooms. There were so many people that our ridiculous nonsense/behavior was lost in a sea of lights and absurdity. Otherwise I trip on nature. One time with a good friend in a swimming quarry, floating a rubber boat, drinking a 12 pack, just us. 2 people came up, looked at us, and were just like..... "Boaters." "Wow." Which of course sent us into hysterics. We then rafted down the nearby creek although our boat had developed a serious air leak, and upon leaving ran into some self confident rednecks that totally vibed us wrong and caused another bout of hilarity at their expense and priceless quotes.

Anyway, I'm an LSD man now, thanks to festivals....so much more for my head and no body load. DMT was some shit too.... I'm glad I have a very strong head-space because that funky shit blasted me right into another universe. No way I could have handled that as a noob. I had turned on the video of shpongles' DMT, but ended up with my head in my arms snapping back into reality totally bewildered. My second breakthrough was also almost disturbing, really. After that I smoked minor doses and enjoyed the vibe greatly.

Dude, I did this last Saturday. I dropped ~8.5g at like 11:30, fell asleep at like 8AM Sunday, and when I regained normality, I took a shower and noticed that random excerpts from Thoreau's Walden and Emmerson's Nature written literally all over my fucking body in black sharpie. Almost every inch of skin had writing on it. The weird thing is that I lucidly remember the whole trip, except for [getting/being] written on.

And at OP: how much are you paying for an eighth? The "2.5g is enough" is a trick.

I'm tempted to just say that you aren't taking a large enough dose. Of course people react to these things differently, but in my experience, it's anything but boring.
Have you ever tried the Terence McKenna style trip? Silence, darkness, solitude and mushrooms. The only way to go.

Default Re: To shroom or not to shroom? [by myself]

I prefer to dose alone. Usually tripping with other people results in either me being pissed off because assholes won't leave me the fuck alone for five minutes to figure out what's going on in my head, or they do stupid shit to try and induce a bad trip, or they are just overall annoying. I learn much much more when tripping alone. Plus, if you start to freak out, you won't have ten faggots hovering around you asking are you ok fifty times, only making things worse. I really really hate tripping with other people. I've tripped with maybe two or three people who were ok, and let me do my thing, but mostly it's just idiots trying to get high with no care for actual personal growth.

One time, I decided to take 1/8th while my GF was at work, and I wound up cleaning the entire apartment....spotless. I don't know why.

And then she came home pissed off at me, wound up screaming at me right when I was coming off the peak, which lead to the downward spiral of the trip.

Shrooms alone= good
Girlfriends = bitches

Quite a lot.

I learned that I had way underestimated the power of mushrooms and the emotions involved, and I've never been so happy to be me.

It was pretty scary, having ego death whilst watching Step Up 2 isn't too much fun :p

I always thought it would be somewhat badass to be able to say your first drug was a true psychedelic, I'd just take the shrooms and see what happens.

It should be fine as long as you do your research. And only take 1.5-2 grams in a good setting (you should know what a good setting is if you've researched it enough).
