Damn okay well idk if I'm in a good headspace actually coming out from a nasty break up . Nd well the environment is on a beach which is like a small private beach on my friends property .
It could go still go good in that kind of headspace..the shrooms just may show you why that break up was for the best, just go into it thinking it's gonna be a fun time..but be prepared for some introspective thinking too, happens to me alot on shrooms

Any sort of tripping experience, good or bad, is really hard to put into words. You can read trip reports on Erowid, but those are still just words, they can't prepare you for the actual experience.
If you're worried about having a bad trip, it's probably a good idea to start out with a low dose so you're not overwhelmed. I never had a fully "bad" trip, but I did have some rough moments my first couple times, and they were mostly from the experience being too intense and me trying to fight it, or somehow get things back to "normal"...
Honestly once you start resisting with your mind, the universe pushes right back just as hard. Better to just go with the flow, and a lot of times simply changing your physical setting (like if you're inside, go outside, change the music or show you're watching, etc) can totally change the direction your trip is going in... And even bad trips are usually a learning experience. It won't last forever, and afterwards you'll feel much better. Other than the usual "(mind)set and setting," that's the only advice I can really offer.
Have fun!

What kind of shrooms are you taking and how much do you plan to take? And where? I took a few grams yesterday and just chilled on my back porch, had a great time…. I have had bad trips in the past but mostly with LSD and even then the only bad trips I had were because I was around bad people. That said I haven’t taken acid since I did have one horrible trip and that was enough for me but again it was because I ended up in a bad situation with stressors. The questions I asked at the top matter because not all shrooms are the same, where you take them will most certainly affect the trip and dosing is hella important especially if you’ve never done anything like that.

In my experiences bad mushroom trips are usually educational, in some way or another, and good in the long run. I hear there's other sorts of bad trips out there, as long as you're not taking meds that are counter indicated you should be fine.
If you're worried get someone you like to hang out with and who is a positive influence on you to trip sit. And eat about an eighth, micro dosing is fine but in my opinion first time it's nice to try a serious amount and really see what the deal is. It's different for everyone, but i tend towards thinking bringing the fireworks and mind bends the first time is worth the effort of eating an eighth or so.
The Shroomery is another good forum to read trip reports and advice.

An eight for a first time may be a bit much- however I am going by my experience back in the 80’s- I would get some amazing shrooms from the village in nyc.
A friend told me that everything he gets now is not nearly as strong- barely got off on an eighth.
My advice is definitely do not do it alone-
We would eat a gram or two and trip balls- one day I put an eight into a milk shake- downed it- about an hour later I puked big time- then had one of the craziest nights ever with my roommate fucking with me cranking King Crimson-
I was not a huge Deadhead but I did see around 12-15 shows.
A group of friends got together at a beach house and we did liquid- we should have just each took a dose however someone thought it was a good idea to put it all in a pitcher of beer and pass it around-DONT EVER DO LIQUID THAT WAY
Apparently it doesn’t dissolve- it stays like a string in the beer. We all tripped good however I must have got a mega dose- eventually everyone went to bed and I was left alone- tripping big time- I made it through the night and at daybreak I couldn’t take it anymore and decided to drive home- got home and now I was really alone- got back into the car and drove back- around 1/2 hour each way-
By the time I got back people we waking up- and someone suggested we go to the grocery store for breakfast food- we got to the store and everyone piled out- hey you coming??
Are you out of your mind?? I am still peaking!!
Well over 12 hrs- that was my last lsd trip

I have found that most "bad trips" are the result of "bad" mushrooms. People get stomach cramps Or food poisoning which tends to screw up their experience.
Some find the chitin too difficult to digest, others eat cultured mushrooms that have been poorly processed and some, plucked from wild dung are contaminated with bad bacteria.
Of course a genuine bad mental experience is possible. Others have rightly said that a poor heads pace or a poor environment is most often the cause.
You dont want to take mushrooms just after your dog died. You don't want to take them when there is a chance that someone might depend upon you to perform a tedious or difficult task.
Don't take them an hour before your 4 year Olds birthday party.
Mushrooms have a steep come up and a steeper come down. If you manage the initial hysteria, getting on poorly after that is only a few hours before you gain emotional control again.
I think people place far too much emphasis on "bad trips " and they are as much the product of sensationalist media than anything else.
Good luck, make your experience your happy place, learn a small chant or mantra. Nothing commercial like a popular song and never ever let anyone else know what it is. If things are going south, put on your best music, if it persists, apply your chant.

It may be cliche to some but I don’t care really, the best tripping music is The Dead, hands down. Always makes me smile and my plants love it too lol. Growing Chem crosses almost exclusively I feel like it’s in their DNA
it’s damn sure in mine
