Man I am so jealous of all the people having a good time with shrooms in here and not even cause I have bad trips but have basically no trip.
First time I took them I went for 3.5g and then ended up adding another 1.5g as I realized it wasn’t working. Second I made a 5g ginger tea. That was a bust. So third and last time I ended up doing a whole chocolate bar at 5g and then added about 2g of just straight shrooms… I had a single moment where I felt like I reached a truth about “now” and human inertia, as I just practically meditated. But otherwise I would say the experience was disappointingly sober. No trips, no visuals, nothing much.
I had the same experience but with weed. I was super disappointed.
I can’t do shrooms either. I’ve tried a number of times from various sources and all I get is 10 hours of nausea and an overpowering urge to sleep but I can’t because I’m on shrooms.
The psilocybin pills worked for me, although I was microdosing them as part of a research study so maybe that was the difference. But Ive never had any issues with other psychedelis either.
Yeah I got nauseous pretty bad the first time with straight shrooms but I also tried wrapping them in slices of deli turkey and cheese which I do not recommend unless you are a dog.
I absolutely get the urge to sleep that’s the 3rd time symptom I got.I figure my body will be a research oddity at some point cause I feel lots of drugs have the wrong interactions with me. Maybe it’s a digestion or processing issue with the mushroom fiber.
The digestion thing is always interesting to me. I’ve been doing recreational drugs with the same people for close to 20 years now. Frequency down to about once a year at this point, but from when we were kids to now when we have our own, I’ve always been the one who comes up fast off anything we ingest, and my other buddy has taken anywhere from 30 to 90 (and sometimes more) minutes longer than me. He’s tall, but lanky. We’re built roughly the same. I guess that whenever the uptake starts to happen is just earlier a long in my process of digestion. We’ve got it down to a science now though, and I’m always last to dive in for an evening of letting the minds go.
No trip here as well, I just got real sleepy
Interesting that there seems to be a non insignificant amount of us.
Do you have any issues with other stuff like edibles or caffeine? Sorry if it feels like prying but a chance to find a correlary trend is just to fun to not take!
I didn’t expect to get randomly tired and I wasted an entire day I had off because I took them at 11am then I felt like a 350lb sack of potatoes and I just laid on my bed for the rest of the day.
Also no visuals or anything fun just sleepy.
Question: does caffeine work for you?
Cause now that I have more than just me as a poll, I’m allergic to benadryl, resistant to all anesthesia basically, and caffeine doesn’t make me hyper just speeds up my heart rate.
I think most of those I am alone in but maybe it’s brain chemistry from like depression or ADHD?Interesting; I was in hospital last year, opioid pain relief doesn’t work for me. They tried a few times at increasing dosages and it just does nothing.
Paracetamol works well, they tried ketamine and I told them to stop because it made me feel terrible.
Yeah it’s awful to figure out what to do when the normal pain killers don’t work. Woke up during a surgery cause it lasted just long enough for them to get started.
but yeah if you have the enzymic issue I have increased dosages don’t help and doctors will question you over and over again as if we have more information about it. I don’t get how it works either but it seems to be genetic, most of my immediate family has it too.
I drink coffee a lot it just makes me feel locked the fk in but really it’s only the first 2 cups and after that I drink it for the taste
It keeps me up if I drink it past 7pm so I guess it works ? Doesn’t make me more awake just unable to sleep and still tired
Hmm that’s more than me. I don’t bother with coffee cause it literally just gives me palpations. Still sounds like a stimulant to me.
So must be something else than ADHD.
Thanks for answering!
last time i took shrooms my ex got mad at me for not caring enough that her food was taking too long to get delievered to her at work. she was mad at me the whole time i was tripping and wouldnt tell me why until i came down
Maybe that’s what happened here
Is “off boobs” the opposite of “on boobs”? Asking for a friend, obviously.
I would assume they meant “of boobs”, but you present an interesting question of terminology. Unfortunately it begs the question, what exactly would we mean by “on boobs” in this context, so that we can question if “off boobs” is it’s opposite?
Also, boobs. The answer to boobs is usually yes.
Unless you’re gay
I gave it on good authority gays love boobs too.
As a gay male; we do not.
Well, I guess at least not if their name is Robert Lipton
What’s pillow duty?
Judging from the context, allowing one’s chest to be used as a pillow.
I was telling my therapist that I wanna take shrooms only last evening. I have a bunch. They’re legal here. My partner works on Sunday and I have the place to myself. Hope she doesn’t get divorced. Lol.
I would recommend having someone around as a trip sitter for a first time.
I recommend having a friend trip with you together to affirm that what you’re expeciencing matches what they’re experiencing. I’ve taken a lot of psycadelics. For me, this is the way.
OK, so not your first time. I misread that.
I’m currently growing my first batch, they are unfortunately not legal here 😅 They’re fantastic though. I’ve done shrooms twice in my life now and my depression and social anxiety are all but gone. I’ve got years of therapy under my belt too and without that the effect would surely not have been this noticeable but still. When you take them you never know what will happen. Most likely it will be amazing from start to finish but every now and then shrooms make you confront unpleasant things. Taking them was a way to prove to myself that I’m ready to confront my fears.
They just amplify what you’re feeling. Not in a good headspace? Stay away. Wanna confront that headspace? Buckle up and GL.
Also I’ve found while you can’t always directly control it the trip tends to follow your attention. At least in those stages where there still is a “you”.
For sure, emergency cartoons can and should be deployed in event of any immediate danger.
Bad trips do happen. But huge breakthroughs are possible, as well. Go in not seeking anything specific and just see how it plays out.
I will say this though, if you feel a bad trip coming, you have to surrender to it. Surrender to the fact that you are tripping balls, and that it’s is a finite experience, and that you’ll be ok. You won’t get in trouble, you won’t become crazy, and if you do? Fuck it we ball.
I reckon this fella has looked into a mirror while tripping.
This is absolutely right though, surrendering is how you turn a bad trip into at least a learning experience and in turn, a still great trip. So what if a few demons come out
I reckon this fella has looked into a mirror while tripping.
That’s the best example. Depending on your headspace that can be a hilarious experience, like a child at a funhouse playing with distorting mirrors, or it can probably freak you tf out if you forget it’s temporary and only an illusion.
Nah, I never got the mirror thing. Was tripping alone on my first ever trip. It was the realization that, hey, “this technically only lasts a few hours(8-12) so eventually it’ll end lol” that brought me out of that potentially bad(is any trip truly bad lol) trip. Also, for anyone still reading this, cannabis can help as well.
cannabis can help as well
If you’re a regular user and it’s a mellow strain. I’d try mixing it with a low dose first to gauge the synergy effects.
It’s one of those things that you better be willing to deal with lol, it really can go either way, but one thing is for sure, it’s gonna get weird
“Shrooms can’t kill you, they can only convince you that they can.”
With force of will you can change the trip, but that requires experience. I think this is why novices have bad trips. That and spending too long looking in the mirror both physically and metaphorically.
Or maybe people it’s not great for weed themselves out. But I can’t imagine anything better for everyone.
Why on Earth would you say you are doing something illegal out in public?
They better pull up the whole comment in court
Cause this is the internet, where you can say whatever you want and nothing is real.
Dude, you will get banned or arrested!
Have you ever listened to rap music?
I think so, why?

Wow I would never admit “recreational” drug use of any kind to any medical professional. Many years ago I admitted to smoking marijuana to my doctor and it turned into a major catastrophe. They threatened to report me to law enforcement for using illegal drugs and kept extorting me with bogus bills for months afterwards. I never trusted any medical professional again. Fuck the bible belt.
Nope. Always let your doctor know, medications you are taking could have extreme consequences when mixed with other drugs. They aren’t the police, and they’d be breaking the law themselves to report that shit. Unless it’s for a controlled substance, they have no duty or authorization to report that unless you explicitly give it to them. afaik, grain of salt and all that
I admitted to my primary doctor that I used MDMA, acid, mushrooms, and ketamine within the past 3 months. He didn’t even bat an eye, he was concerned of my drinking habits instead.
Ugh, wish my doc had been concerned about my drinking when it was a problem. Nope. I went in with insomnia problems, and explicitly told him I also have a drinking problem, and he prescribed the max dose of extended release Ambien with a casual “oh don’t drink on this” as if I hadn’t just told him I had a problem. I used to drink every day, he thought I’d magically stop because he prescribed something for me to take every day? NOPE. Surprised I didn’t die from the alcohol + Ambien combo because I didn’t realize how bad it truly was to mix those.
It’s just straight up illegal for medical professionals to report drug use in Canada. The government doesn’t want people to die because they were afraid to go to the hospital
That’s straight up illegal here in the US too. I don’t think OP was at a doctor lol
You’d think the government would want as many people as possible to die, considering how easy it is to get into MAIDS, and how hard it is to get actual healthcare instead.
Remember, almost every suicide was someone else’s choice, someone who knew what the consequences were, but went with it anyway.
I am pretty sure this is completely illegal
Yeah, that shit doesn’t happen in Oakland, CA.
I suggest listening to some Terence Mckenna talks before tripping. Also, surrender to the shroom if needed. It’ll help.
Haha this turned dark real quick.
It’s not that dark. If mushrooms helped you realize you don’t wanna be married to a person you should divorce them. Why spend time with someone you don’t want to be with?
There is this belief for some reason that divorce is like the end of the world and a giant nightmare but like, I’ve done it, its not hard stuff and as long as you and your (soon to be) ex-partner aren’t assholes then the hardest thing is gonna be making your schedules line up.
Like Yeah it’s devastating to lose a built in best friend, but also you gotta live your truth
Anyways don’t jump on mushroom thoughts immediately, let them settle and ferment for a bit before you follow them.
When my ex husband was around during my trips, he would freak me the fuck out. My body was in terror, I understood more than in that moment. The same lack of respect that I brushed off when not tripping sent me into a spiral.
It was a warning sign I didn’t take.
I’ve been divorced. But i didn’t decide to do that while tripping balls sucking on some other girls titties. It’s a data point only.
Pretty big data point
Well, two, actually.
More data blobs then
The entry data could be a float or a double.
We don’t know that it wasn’t his wife’s titties, maybe that’s why he’s getting divorced
“I called someone over” Made me think to his house from their house. But it could’ve been from across the house. You’re right.
Edit: appearance
Yeah shrooms are way more likely to give you the ability to think through legitimate problems than generate spontaneous bad ideas. Still though, give it some thought when you come down.
Yeah you never act on your psychedelic realizations for at least a few days. Gotta give it time to settle
Every chapter must come to its natural close. That is what starts the next chapter.
Totally normal shroom experience. I once took a hero’s dose and spent 30 minutes thinking I was gonna die.
Think about it maaan, we’re all gonna die
Joni Ernst? Is that you?
Same bro. Idk how much I took the first time but I literally forgot who I was, fell asleep, woke up covered in sweat, and tore my room apart because I was convinced that I was either dead or about to die. Shit scared me into just weed and drinking lol
What’s a heros dose. I only did small amounts and it was long ago. Much better experience than I expected. Easier to snap out of than anything else. If your high on weed or drink you can’t really snap out. But with a low amount of shrooms I definitely could. Then go right back to wondering why all of the Scooby Doo characters are naturally occuring in the cement walkway while sitting on the stoop
A heroes dose/heroic dose just refers to doing a very high dosage of a psychedelic substance like shrooms.
https://healing-mushrooms.net/heroic-dose
I’ve always heard a good normal dose is an eighth. According to that article linked above, a heroes dose is 5 grams, or an extra 1.5 grams beyond that.
Wait, I always thought the name was mocking. Heroic as in “you think you’re superman over here”
I had 7g once.
It was amazing, the visuals just took over my senses completely and when I came back, still tripping, I felt like I could telepathically talk to my friends lmao.
Glad you had a good trip! I accidentally did a heroic dose of acid back in 2016 and I have been leery of psychedelics ever since (though I have done shrooms and a few other research chemicals since then). I had 2x 130µG tabs of acid in my sock drawer for ~18 months that I didn’t store in the freezer or anything, so I figured their potency had diminished and decided to take both. Big mistake. :)
I wouldn’t consider that a heroic dose. People lie about potency of tabs all the time. I typically do between 250umg-350umg and I’ll get time completely stopping and rewinding. It seems like you just had accurately provided tabs and tripped hard. People do thumbprints of lsd between 10mg-15mg. 5 grams of mushrooms should be more potent than 300umg of acid with just standard cubensis.
I had .35 oz of mushrooms two days ago and I saw the faces and eyes of the God that lives in my solar plexus.
Fantastic experience. Scary as all fuck. But fun as shit. I just had a major change in my life and I always try to trip about it when I have time to think.
PSA this is a bad example of psychedelic use perhaps and definitely…uh … don’t do drugs kids
For the kids looking for a good use of psychedelics, the golden rule is to start low, increase potency slowly, and if you’re ever thinking you might have a dud, give it about 1.5 the amount of time it takes to really kick in before trying a second. If the second is a dud too, enjoy a nice day of sober relaxation in the environment you’d planned on being high in, the third try may very well be what gets you. Remember, once you take it, you can’t go back and take less and time to kick in isn’t always going to be the same.
According to the Psychonautwiki on shrooms (which is fairly reliable in my experience), anything over 50mg of psilocybin is a “heavy” dose. Trouble is, unless you can get your shrooms from a reliable source, guessing the psilocybin content is pretty tricky. The one time I intentionally did a pretty heavy trip on shrooms, it was something like a quarter ounce of dried shrooms, but another time I just had a nibble on one for laughs while drinking with my buddies and it wound up being pretty substantial. If they’re fresh instead of dried or just a different strain or batch, it’s all pretty up in the air, so my advice is to always be ready for a heavy trip unless you’ve already had some experience with that particular batch.
yes aborts are pretty wild. always remember set and setting
I am not religious in the least and I gotta say aborts are blessed.
Yeah just be careful. There are instances of dudes whacking their weeners off with hatchets and one guy repeatedly headbutting his eyeballs onto pencils until he died on heavy psilocybin doses.
This sounds exactly like the lies anti-drug proponents tell to try scare people off drugs. Did you know there was a boy who died after injecting just one marijuana?
From the first:
This is the first documented case of Klingsor syndrome related to psilocybin, in which a psychologically disturbed person self-inflicts harm on their genitals. Plus the dude was already messed up and an alcoholic.
The second guy was on ADHD meds and hypertension meds:
Although some might be tempted to draw broad conclusions from this single case, it is important to understand the nature and role of case reports in medicine. Case reports are detailed descriptions of unusual or novel clinical events involving one patient. They do not establish cause and effect or generalize to larger populations.
It’s pretty common advice not to mix drugs unless you know what you’re doing, which is something that happened in both cases.
But the point is your “warning” is the same as telling someone about to drive or fly about the worst accident on their mode of transportation. It’s just a paranoid thought (and a dick move), not a reflection of reality.
Dudes rock

Hell yeah slay dude
4 mushrooms?
I don’t think that’s enough to feel anything at all other than the pain of having to taste them.
Saying 4 mushrooms means nothing, you need the weight. I’ve seeing 1 small P.E mushroom weigh 2 grams and that was a strong trip. If somebody ate four 2 gram mushrooms they would be extremely high.
2 grams dried? I wouldn’t call that a small mushroom. A 3.5g bag is usually a lot more than 1 or 2 shrooms. It’s a lot more than 4, too.
Depends on the type, that’s why counting the mushrooms isn’t a good measurement. The 2 gram mushroom I had was not big but really dense and was dried. I’ve also eaten 3.5 grams that was about 7-8 mushrooms.
