Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

now i know mushrooms are illegal in amsterdam now but i know you can stil get them in certain smart shops. I want to try them when i go in september and want some advise, i have never had them before but i want to know is it ok taking them on your own if your friends arnt? if you think it will be ok what type? i know mexican are the mild ones but are they stil good and trippy? will i get paranoid taking them on my own? please get back to me.

Ever done any psychedelics?

My buddy tried them in Amsterdam last summer for the first time, he tried the Mexicans and had a wonderful time. We were standing at the Bud Bar at the Blues Bros. CS and my buddy was describing his knees as if there were spikes protruding from them and he was laughing and giggling. The advice the Smartshop dude told him was to smoke a bit of bud before to relax he also said that eating bananas and chocolate would enhance the trip. My advice as a person who has done Mushrooms on multiple occasions is to try them at home first, I never tried them in Amsterdam and the ones they sell there are moist not dried so the trip may be somewhat different. My best advice to you is to go into it with an awesome attitude, no doubts whatsoever. If you plan to take them and your planning on having an amazing time then you absolutely will, if you have the slightest doubt in your mind or if its after a stressful day or any such instance I would wait till a later date when you feel mentally excited and or prepared.

thanks for the info i just down want me getting paranoid because my my friends want be on them and i will

As I said before my buddy took them when we were there, it was me one of my other friends and my other friend who was on them, its actually good to be around sober people cause they get a kick out of your trip and they are also in a normal state of mind so they can make your time a lot more fun! The first time I did mushies was in my room with two of my bestfriends and I was the only one tripping, it was an awesome time! As I said its all about your attitude going into it, dont listen to people about bad trips and all that garbage because then you go into it with slight doubts, your doing the drug because you want to and therefore you should be completely PSYCHED when you do them, if you are then your gunna have an amazing time!

cheers m8 i am looking forward to it like what type do you think i should have mexican, thaii...?

Small word of warning, they say to eat them on an empty stomach, but in my experience have something small to eat much earlier in the day, and lots of liquids for when you are at the peak.

My friend who tried them for the first time last nov, hadn't eaten anything the whole day and only drunk 2 pints of Heineken, he then proceeded to take half a box of Ecuadorians, was fine for about 5 hours. later a group of us decided to go and relax in stones coffeeshop, we had 2gr of Hot ears hash between us, and some lovely mint teas.

Basically he whited out because he hadn't eaten, his head hit the wall behind him with a bang, but because of the mushrooms when he was out of it he claims he had some very lucid hallucinations. We took him back to the hostel were he was sick, started tripping his balls, seeing time reverse and his food re-form on his pate after he had already eaten it.

The moral of this story, it massively took the edge of our high when we had to carry him home, and look after him for the rest of the night.

But mushrooms are amazing give them a shot, just be sensible.

Just relax before you do them, smoking a bit of bud can help (but not too much!)

i found dropping in your accomodation first then once your "at a level" your comfortable with head out for a mission

the best way to trip is (at least as first-timer) in quite room, no "sober" people and your favourite music. and dont eat more than 1g of dried mushrooms (10-15wet).

how long do mushrooms take to dry? if you bought some and were in town for like 10 days would they be dry sometime in between? pardon my ignorance i dont know anything about psychedelics but planned to possibly try mushrooms on my next amsterdam trip.

its possible, but you would have to put them in a dry not too cold place (not too hot as well ) and you could eat them after 4-7days, depends on how wet they were
