does anyone know how long a shroom trip lasts for?
How many shrooms would it take to get a first timer high?
how much does one shroom cost?
and can anyone explain a weak-average shroom trip?
I really want to try them but kinda nervous never tried any drug besides weed before. You guys think I should try it?

yo man all i can say is try it. depending who you get them from and what they look like. the caps are supposedly more potent. you know the top part of the mushroom? a weak trip for me is an all over good body high kind of like weed. it makes you laugh and giggle a lot. well for me anyway. but when you get a good trip the first thing i notice is that my vision kind of fish bowls. my vision becomes more peripheral. everything you look at will take on a new meaning and form. for instance one time i was driving in a car at night and staring out the window in the sky staring at the clouds. you know when you look at clouds and they resemble something? this time it looked like a hand but only this time it looked like it was coming out of the sky trying to grab me. lights become more intense and thats why you should never drive. like when i was going down a street all i could see were the street lights going forever down the road. then when i sit in the house and stare at the carpet it looked like i was staring at my friends salt water fish tank and the carpet was a sea anenome. sorry dont know the correct spelling. the thing that clown fish swim around in and just sway and move back and forth. i would also not recommend staying inside your house. you will become restless and just keep walking around. thats all i can remember for now since its been over a year since ive done it. i wouldnt recommend doing anything less than an eight. unless you like the taste of mushrooms and can get fresh mushrooms that are picked right off and not dried do that. otherwise just take your eight and mix up some kind of fruit smoothie with them in the blender. youll never taste them and it will go down fast. wait for at least an hour to notice any signs of what i explained above. my roomate grew them and i ate them fresh from the cake and got the best trip ive ever had

i would be careful with the starting dose, and work up from a 1/2 eighth. The common sense rule, and vital to not walking into an uncomfortable experience, is to remember that you can always take more. The comeup on mushrooms can also be accompanied by nervousness, and this increases with the doses (although shroomers experienced with higher doses maybe argue against this as they have accustomed themselves to the dose and know what to expect). A first timer, if their experience is any like mine, will be apprehensive once they pop them in their mouth and swallow, and over analyze the comeup effects/placebo. Price varies for the area, but i never paid more than $35 for an eighth. But then again, my brother ate his first boomers on halloween, at night, alone in his room listening to techno music and watching the itunes background for several hours without problems. He took a full eighth. The most important thing for me was always setting, but an uncomfortable self perspective will most surely damper the experience, and can be difficult to overcome. enjoy responsibly, as it makes these things look bad when someone takes too much and freaks out.

and sorry, upon reading your post again, i started from the beginning on a couple of assumptions without explicitly saying them. Should you try mushrooms? You should try them when you're confident about trying them, though a little nervousness will always be there. The short answer: almost no one would say that they're not worth trying once.
A shroom trip lasts allegedly 6-8 hours, but i seem to trip for about nine before being nearly completely down. my last trip began with ingestion at 5:30. The effects with 3.2 grams on an empty stomach were intense (i thought that the clouds were orange pyramids for a couple of minutes) and wasn't seeing the strange purple/green outline around objects starting at about 3:00 pm. Fucking crazy duration, first time in public, incredible views.
Unless the dealer is selling huge mushrooms, (which typically contain less psilocybin per wt.) your 3.5g eighth will contain several, a mixture of stems and caps. dose by weight and not number.

yes the smaller they are the more potent. kind of like garlic. i would do an eighth right off the bat though and i would never do it alone. plus youre right about doing it with friends and people you know or the paranoia and nervousness. one thing ive always noticed while taking mushrooms or ex is the depressing feeling when you come off the trip. maybe thats just me

i am confident that I want to try shrooms I just want to get the basics down before trying them so I dont have a bad trip. This may not help at all but im 5feet 2inches and 105pounds. It takes 1 bowl to get me a nice high from weed if it has KB or chronic potency and takes about 2 minutes for the effects to start. If that helps at all how much do you guys think I should eat so I eat just enough to hallucinate. I undrstand i should start with a small amount and work up depending on how I feel but I dont want to end up overdoing it or wasting shrooms. I will be around my best friend that I am 100% comfortable with and he will watch me the entire time and he will be sober.

and thanks for the help you already gave guys

i still say take an eighth. are you getting them from a friend or somebody that knows somebody that got them from someone and so on? first time i took an eighth was in high school an i weighed around 180lbs at 5'10"

most likely ill be getting them from a close friend that gets them from his dealer that grows weed so most likely grows his own shrooms too so it only goes through 2 people but ifnot ill get them from a friend(not so close) who gets them from who knows where.

i still say take the whole eighth. cuz if you dont and you dont trip you will be disappointed and either not wanna do them or do too much the next time. this way when you take the eighth you can judge how much to take next time. i could weight 180lbs and you could way 100lbs and have the same fat percentage as i assume they are fat soluble. not really sure but just going by what i know from weed. its not gonna kill you or impair you so much you cant do anything. trust me you will be glad you did the whole eighth.
