Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Although I'm an old avid smoker... I have no clues on shrooms and I think that my first visit to A-Dam should be one to try.

I intend to get philosopher's stones for my first experience and underhere are the questions I hope to get answers to:

1. Will I be just paying more, for something that gives me a strong hash trip?
2. If I buy a good quantity to send some home through the mail, will it keep? (considering I will not get home for another 2-3 weeks to fetch them from a P.O. BOX)
3. Directions say to not consume more that once a month... now is that really true? (I read here some of you guys have it wayyyy more than that!!!)
4. I'm thinking of Kokopelli... suggesting another place? For what reason?
5. Should I get any other type of "fresh stemmy shrooms", would they keep through the mail? (Like dry out and still be eadible when I get home?)
6. If possible, what would be the best way to package shrooms for mail, to consume much later? (For example, should I dry them before sending?)

Thanks in advance for all infos... Vibi

1. Not at all- hash and mushrooms are not in the same category. Mushrooms are much more powerful mind altering drug- there i not a hash in the world that will put you in the shroom state of mind.
2. Not sure where you live but they will only send them to you if they are legal in your own country. i don't know much about deliver service but I do know fresh shrooms need a fridge or they rot within a day or so.
3. This is just warning- they are being careful. Though I think that is a warning that you should heed unless you have a strong mind. I have taken them much more often and find it has no long term physical effects
4. Is that the conscious Dreams shop? If so yeah just go there because the staff are nice and very helpful- prices aren't too bad either your philosophers stones are sixteen euros.
5. No idea about this- dried mushrooms are illegal so you will not be able to obtain them. Drying them yourself isn't just a matter of sticking them on a radiator either! Not sure how lucky you will be posting them home.
6. If you know how to dry them then yes that is the only way you can mail them- dried shrooms are stronger so they will get to you even more.

Other tips to know are that the Philosopher Stones are really great shrooms though a little different from some of the others. The effects are similar to those experienced when in the thick of a strong Ecstasy high- really great shrooms but they do have less visual hallucinations.
Hawaiians are the strongest, the big daddies- these are the closest you can get to real LSD using shrooms. Strongly mind altering with visuals.

The others are not as strong in my opinion but any of them will do you in for the first few times and all are fun in their own way. Mexicans are great for a mellow trip for example- because others can get quite intense. My advice is to just eat them raw- not nice but I think the effects are the best that way. it seeps in nicely and creeps up on you in a really pleasurable way. However if you insist you can make it with tea but that can be like getting slapped across the face with a psychedelic fish so to speak.

Have a good time- good luck with the mail thing but I think that may be futile. My first time I took a box of philosophers stones and a box of Hawaiins and I never looked back- try this if you want to become temporarily insane in the most wonderful way.

I hope to see you freaking out big time so I can laugh at you ha ha ha ha- don't drown in a canal or throw yourself off a bridge because I will personally spray paint "WE LOST A MORON" across your tombstone for ruining it for the rest of us

Only joking by the way didn't wanna scare you. Take the shrooms I insit- your life will never be the same.

HEED THIS ADVICE-

Take them so that the effects begin when you are n you hotel room, apartment or whatever. I strongly advise you to take them and then go relax on your bed- read or watch something on the box or whatever. Nothing better than as your breathing begins to get heavier and your mind begins to speed up- but it it so much better to start in your own space because then you don't have to worry about other people and you won't feel paranoid about it. If you wish to venture out when you have levelled out do so.. but for a first timer I would start somewhere safe- in truth you probably won't even end up leaving the room.

thnx themindwanders, i was a little scared of shrooms, which was why i didnt take them my last trip to Adam (that and the fact i came with a non smoking buddy, think about his expression if i had shrooms lol) but now im sure to take them.
couple question tho:
1) how long is the high?
2) will i remember the experience clearly afterwards, or will it be like waking from a dream but not remembering it?

Thanks Mindwanders...
I will follow your directions and am sure I won't leave the room! LOL ...as for sending some through mail... we'll see, I'll ask around.

I always knew Bill Hicks wasn't really dead

ha! No he lives on in his fans!

You remember the important parts of your trip, trust me.

Listen, it is similar to being drunk, not the effects that is, but for you know when you have had a heavy night drinking- been out and about to a few places. You wake up and remember parts of it and then slowly but surely parts come back to you in bits- you don't just forget what you did. You might not remember specifically everything you said or thought but there is no worrying amnesia effects.

The important parts- the profound thoughts you may have, the thought processes that may lead to a new way of thinking, that ability to see through things- that is still left with you.

oh and the high last 4-6 hours. I acknowledge that may sound a little daunting but time kinda flies by, don't think of it as being trapped in a state for hours- it is very liberating.

You are left with absolutely no adverse long term effects what so ever- you may feel a little like your brain is tired- the best thing to do is smoke joints and watch a good film or program- settle yourself down

all this talk of shrooming influenced me to buy some Hawaiins which i'm enjoying now, would you believe it, just as I finished them THAT is the moment someone chooses to ring me about a job

They asked if I could go in and work in 1 hour

er... no, best not. For you more than me

Best advice 1st time...take no more than half a box, do it in a safe place ie hotel room/apartment, do it with friends - preferably at least one of which is'nt tripping or is experienced, have a bit of oj on hand to assist a quicker comedown

Most importantly, this is an entirely organic product, free from all the chemical shit found in speed, X etc and therefore holds none of the associated long-term harmfull effects...the only thing to fear is fear itself - your state of mind going into a trip will often dictate your experience

Enjoy!!

Just mellow out man, having someone not on shrooms there is also helpful. The three most important things when taking any drug is 1) dosage 2) surroundings 3) people.

Make sure you dont take too many first time, have seen this before and it ended up with a buddy pissing in my shoes due to his belief that they were on fire. Make sure your in an enviroment you feel comfortable in, tripping balls in the RLD for your first trip is not a good way to go. Most importantly make sure your in the company of people you trust.

Remember shrooms are a powerful drug and should be respected. But in know way let it put you off trying them, i was relutant at first but when i did do them i found them very enjoy-able. Out of the heaps of people that take shrooms very few fuck up because of it.

Just be mellow and prepare for a very enlightening and enjoyable experiance!

Liko most ppl said... its good to be informed. The only thing that can go wrong is if you panic. But belive me... shrooms are NATURAL.


Cubensis (also known as Mexican)


Copelandia (also known as Hawaiian)

I wish ya all a nice trip

ive shroomed many many times and this is the best advice. juice is good as are ciggies if ur a smoker

I've shroomed many times, but never bought any in Amsterdam. So, I can't give you any advice on what to get. However, of all the times I've done them, the best times were when I was outside in a comfortable environment. I would recommend taking them and then going out to Zanvoort and tripping at the beach. That's what I'm going to do when I go to Amsterdam in September.

Oh another bit of good advice is to avoid mirrors when tripping balls on shrooms, it can lead to very strange places.
