First Time Shroomer

So I joined this forum today as I seem to fit in here pretty well, but today a friend of mine was wanting to try shrooms. I had been around it a couple of times, but for some weird reason even with everyone around me doing it, I refrained. So today I plan on trying it, but was looking to further educate myself on them before doing so.

Heres a few questions I have if someone could answer that would be great.

What should I expect, and how long will it last on average?
What is the difference between an "Eighth" and a gram?
Will 1 gram of shrooms be enough to get to the first timer's high?
Is 10$/gram a fair price for shrooms?
Would I be OK to drive on these? Or should I treat it more serious and refrain from driving?


A friend of mine who used to be a regular shroomy would pay 30$ for a gram, and said 3 mushrooms is all that was needed to get "Fucked Up"... However, my recent knowledge of the drug highly contradicts this. Any extra information/tips for a newbie to shrooms would be a great help.

Thanks,

ten grams is a pretty basic price ive never been able to get them any cheaper than that unless im getting an ounce or somthing. One gram might make you have a slight trip i would recommend you doing atleast two grams for a nice trip. Trip will probably be about 8 hours maybe, maybe a little longer since you have never done them before, but i doubt it will be any longer than 8. Deffinatly dont fuckin drive on them omg you will probably wreck your car bro. And everyones trip is different colors will be so much brighter shits going to be moving and turning colors and stuff theres really no way to explaine whats going to happen words cant explaine it. the only difference between and eighth is and eighth is 3 and a half grams and a grams well a gram.

Cubensis shrooms, $7-10 per gram, Cyanensis $15-20 per gram because they are more potent.

Depends on the shrooms. Had total ego death on three grams taken in dark isolation. On a gram or two I can go mountain biking. I would not plan anything where you would need to be driving for 4 to 6 hours. Yes you can drive but shit can get wierd and ugly. Bear in mind that as someone who is not an experienced tripper under a large dose in public etc. it can get very ugly.

A gram will get you giddy and maybe feeling a little strange for say three hours max. Three grams will give you visual distortions and closed eye visuals you could be impaired for up to 6 hours. Some people find that they upset their stomache, may cause the craps, or constipation. Bring toilet paper or wipes if you go in the woods.

The real question is, what are you looking for. Do you want to stick your toes in the water or do you want to dive in. Shrooms can be unpredictable. The naked guys arrested by the police for doing wierd shit in their yard.. shrooms. If you plan on taking a larger dose then you should have a sitter who is either straight or on a very low dose.

In my case, since they cause stomache upset I'm willing to make tea out of a larger dose but discard the sediment and solids so I have a cleaner experience.

yeah they make my stomach hurt right before their about to kick in. i did two grams last night and tripped pretty good for a little my trip didnt last to long though probably because ive been doing alot of acid lately

Movie is a bit cheezy, but still, good advice.

What are you looking to achieve?

You're gonna get high. The main part of the trip will be 4-6 hours, but don't have plans for 8 to 12 in my opinion because you'll need that long to return to baseline. If you're inexperienced with psychedelics you may want to start with only a gram or two. Sacred Mushrooms can bestow a very spiritual and magical high when it's good. But the same spirit receptor the psilocybin tickles that brings the magic can also, sometimes, bring the fear or confusion, sometimes referred to as "Mindfuck". I recommend testing the waters carefully so you'll know what to expect later if you choose to do a stronger dose.

Eighth refers to 1/8th of an ounce or 7 grams.

1 gram on an empty stomach will be the low end of what you call a "trip". Colors will be enhanced, everything may feel more "significant". You may look at the world through the eyes of a child and see the beauty of everyday things that your sober state over looks.

I have no idea what they sell for nowadays.

It's not ok to drive on shrooms.

Here's a good article you might want to read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_and_setting

Good luck and magical and safe time

$10/gram? Wow, they're like $20-30 / 8th around here.

That would be a quarter, 8th = 3.5

check my sig theres a few reports of my first 1g trips

Ive just got into this but ive heard alot of good info over the last few weeks on here. Bascially 1g dry, on an empty stomach (say 4-5 hours after lunch) gets me to a ncie place. Feels like a mix of being indica stoned, plus coming up on a small bomb of mdma. It makes me wanna just sit in a comfy place or lie down and listen to good tunes and talk with mates and play som xbox. I always lose on xbox, until just after the peak of the high i start sobering up and then beat my friend, which ive noticed a few times now, always after the same kinda peak. I lose because my body feels like its putting alot more intention and physical 'focus' into all teh moves i wanna do lol it makes ur connection to the game feel slightly more physical, but then your accuracy might be impaired, because it really doesnt matter if you put 1 pound of pressure or 10 pounds of pressurte onto a control pad, but its still gonna press the button just the same lol But yeah, once the peak is over my mind-body connection has less physical connection, and so i start using more optimum pressure on the pad so i can play faster. (if that makes any sense hehe)
Oh and a gram dry also makes that indica stoned feel go right into your joints and bones and it feels really comfy like bein wrapped in a warm blanket in an igloo or soemthing.
As far as visuals, i did'nt see any colours/patterns etc but my vision seemed kinda intense, like when your drunk or something. When i went to my friends bathroom it seemed like all the peices were just there at once like a non-dimensional picture. But it wasn't that intense, i was intentionally focusing on it and probably changed it with my mind to seem more pronouced from the initial casual surpise i got.
I went to a freworks display on about 1.3g dry and there were no extra visuals but everything was pretty trippy. Kinda when you smoke weed for the first time in your life and you have a few pulls and get the giggles and start noticing stuff. I was more focused on imagining the tower guards torturing guy fawkes and the pain he must have suffered before he was brutally sentenced to death. I remember seeing his signature on a peice of paper that they kept, from before the torture and then after the torture and his signature at the end was just....well it was just some squiggles and inky smudges. But yeah i feound myself thinkin of that again for a few seconds when i was watchin the fireworks explode.

One of my friends took 3g spread out over the night and by 5am he was having sex with the air, trying to kiss his own face lickin his lips n that lol and he watched some mighty boosh and was thinkin propa intense and deep philosophical thoughts. He said it was very intense physically, and that he felt like a bubble of energy and could feel all teh energy around him. He also watched some mighty boosh on t.v. and thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen.

So thats our comparison of 1g dry to 3g dry on your first time. My shrooms are strong ones, i think on the website they are rated as 'high' psilocibin content. They were Orissa India and some Thai Ban Hua

If you're able to drive on shrooms I reckon you're not tripping that hard.

you can drive on anyting that doesn't impare your reflexes. I've driven 1000 miles on half a tab of brown acid from the early 80's. I was living on fear and adenaline the whole way. As we sped passed the miles and miles of dormant grape vines in the California heartland I was certain that they were the roots and the earth was on the other side, above me (below me), where all of the color and growth really were and i was being deprived of those colors, in purgatory - driving forever and ever as the gastly lights woooshed by at 180 miles closing speed. My partner simply presumed I knew what I was doing and zoned out.


You can drive on anything, but should you? I really don't think so, Sometimes I feel I am still on that particular trip and have never reached the desination at all.

Eighth is 3.5 grams. I must have been high The Shroom high I think effects motor coordination and your ability to judge time and space more than most psychedelics which is why I would not recommend driving on Shrooms. Your ability to calculate the ballistics of that car coming from the left and if you have time to pull out before it crosses your path can be substantially degraded on Shrooms. I don't think anyone should drive on Shrooms unless it's a nootropic dose of maybe .7 grams or less.

When you find yourself in a positive mindset, take yourself an eight and go crazy! (It's not a bad idea to have someone sober with you to remind you that you're tripping, just in case)

If you have 200 bucks to throw down let me know and I will send you a couple links. You need a pressure coocker that can go to 15 psi and a couple other materials but it all should be easy to get in your local store except for worm castings(poo).I have to order in my bags but if your willing to read for a weekend then you should be good to go at it. I use popcorn as a growing nedia then its just worm castings and coir other than that its do a step wait 10 days minimum do another step and wait another 10 days so from start to finish it can take 6 to 8 weeks to do a single run

Do NOT drive while on mushrooms. Very, very bad idea.I would say to take about 3-5 grams of dried shrooms for the first timer, anything past that is a whole heap of fun, but you want to be more accustomed to tripping before you go out and do that.

Shrooms are like alcohol. LSD is more like cocaine.

Relatively speaking.

At least that's how I'd describe it. Maybe a strong sativa is a better description of LSD.

I'd also recommend only eating a few small caps and then seeing what happens. Depending on strength they can surprise you. I have had mushrooms where 1 cap could cause massive visuals. I've had other varieties where 1 cap wouldn't do a whole lot.

1-1.5g IMO to start.

I've seen first timers have bad trips. I think that amount could be too much. One other pieece of advice, make sure your mind frame is excellent. Better to consume on the best day of your life by far, than the worst. I have tried the shrooms on an only somewhat crappy day in hopes of improving it (nothing major) and it was a big mistake. So completely forget about it if your girlfriend breaks up with you tomorrow.

Unless of course you are feeling very adventurous.
