The best shrooms to take for a "proper" trip?

Just wondered if anyone had any tips. Looking for something really trippy.

If you want an Acid-like trip take Hawaiian Copelandia (2 doses if you want to trip like on 3 hits of acid), if you are looking for an Ecstacy-type trip take Philosophers Stones (one dose should be good).

And by an "Ecstacy-type trip" do you mean I'll start chewing like a camel and become partial to dance music?

Snicker. The Philo Stones are "dopey", more of a body high with less visuals (and for me more yawning). Personally, the Copelandia are the shit. Nothing better. Have fun, whatever yer choice.

Cheers bud. I'm off there tomorrow for a long weekend. I wonder if Harry Potter thought the same... (The Philo Stones.. ha ha)

Never really had any good mushies over there...had some philo stones once but hardly noticed them! Some mates got summat else, mexican I think and they didnt rate them much either.

The good old british countryside has a lot more to offer in the form of the liberty cap I think. Maybe we are used to stronger stuff.

60g of fresh Colombian shrooms will give you a great visual trip for a good few hours but I have taken a fair few double doses (60g) and would not feel totally comfortable leaving the safety of my hotel/bedroom. Maybe on 30g but then you would lose some of the visuals so depend on where you plan on doing them I guess.

The Philly Stones just make me real tired, in a hash cake kind of way - no real visuals but I once noticed that when watching a football match the mud patches on the pitch really stood out [weird!?!].

The staff in Concious Dreams in Warmoesstraat are real helpful and willing to advise on the best shroom for the best trip.

Now that I can identify with. If I could liken it to anything but they were very mild.

I'll second that, I was raised on the things!

Mushrooms ROCK! Way to go Mother Nature!!

done the columbians before.. we followed the instructions found in teh box.. we were told to take only half the box if it were our first time, did that, worked PERFECTLY.. saw the walls curve inwards, coloured spots on white walls, big fat head high and euphoria

but Im looking for shrooms that will make me see real fuckin freaky things.. like hallucinate a bear going through my bedroom door or whatever..

any ideas?

Well to tell a funny story I have a old mate....lets call him Chris.

Once upon a time he went mushie picking up a hill. He was supposed to go with 2 friends (neither were me) but got impatient, as he often did, and went on his own. Chris found a wonderful spot in the Shropshire countryside and bagged himself a decent carrier full of Liberty Caps.

Lets guess the amount at roughly 500-1000 mushrooms. (it was a good few years ago now, I forget)

Upon returning to his friends flat they were a little disappointed as he had gone without them...they decided to pop out and find some of their own.

They didnt have a lot of luck and returned pretty much empty handed. Unfortunately for them whilst they were out Chris had consumed his entire bag of mushrooms and his spirits were a little elevated. Elevated to the point that he was bouncing around the flat jumping on peoples beds screaming such sensible comments as "I am number one...youre number 2".

When his friends playstation (thats how long ago this was) was launched into the air and smashed against the ceiling he was quickly escorted from the flat to the back seat of a car. The idea was to take him promptly home and leave him there...however trying to drive whilst having your eyes covered by a shouting, screaming, raving mushie headed lunatic proved difficult. They stopped the car at the side of the road where he escaped the backseat and began jumping on the car...at which point they really had had enough and left him there.

Chris returned the following day, jumperless, shoeless and some what covered in mud. He was feeling particulaly stupid and to be honest has never lived it down to this day.

If you wanna freak out then I can only suggest this as an option. Who knows what crazy shit he saw that night in that field but whatever it was it stole his shoes.

A really funny story there, taking me back to my younger years with my school chums.

All the talk about hash/weed on this forum tends to drag you away from the other possibilities available in Amsterdam.

To be honest, I wouldn't even consider taking a trip in Amsterdam because the guy known as Chris in your story could well turn out be Doog in his next visit.

There is such a fine line between a good trip and a bad one and it doesn't help to be in a strange place with strange people mostly speaking a strange language.

Was a lot of fun in the old days though and once again Redeye

ROFL

(sorry if this is spam but that was damn funny from where I am sitting and deserved some credit)

Glad you liked it

Bit of Spam never hurt anyone, just ask Monty Python

This post marks my one hundredth since becoming a member and I'm sure people would claim that a few of mine aren't 100% relevant to the topic. I send a lot of PM's but only when I want something answered personally by a member who has replied to my post. My posts would be a lot higher if I used them instead of PM's.

My main point goes out to any first time Dammer reading this page. If you haven't tried mushrooms before then please don't be tempted to try them on your holiday. I know we all like to do new things on holiday but if you don't know what these new things will do to you then it's best to stay away.

Plenty of other ways to occupy and expand your mind.

I remember that like it was yesterday! Flash back sequence....... wobbly lines....... wobbly lines!

It was a rainy & cold, late September morning. Me & my now X girlfriend collected said "Chris" from my friends flat to take him on his first ever mushy picking expedition on top of a cold hill/mountain [The Stiperstones]

"Which is a realy cool drive up in my mini, Get In-Sit Down-Hold On-& Shut Up"

On arriving at our spot, we parked up & observed these old age hippies collecting there mushy's. We sat & giggled at them for a while then after they had gone we got on with our picking session. It was cold wet & freezing, I had water running from my nose & I lost the fealing in my fingers but its all for a good cause!! I kept telling myself.

I think between me & my miss's we half filled a carrier bag, Chris got a bit less as he kept asking me "Is this one? Is that one?" Rain soaked & shivering we left for the warm comforts of my friends flat, which was going to be our place for consuming our consignment of mushy's. Me & my X decided to go back home to change into dry cloths & aquire supplies for the trip into wonder land later that night. My friend his flat mate & flat mates girlfriend decided to go for supplies & try to aquire some mushrooms of the magic variatey as well. Chris was left on his own in my friends flat whilst we all went to prepair.... Bad Idea!

My X girlfriend & me took a bit longer than we had expected [nudge nudge, wink wink] We finaly got back to the flat to find just my friend his flate mate & his girlfriend there. No Chris to be seen anywhere!!
So I asked my friend what was up?

He said that whilst everyone was out, Chris couldnt resist the urge to make himself a bru. So having never ever taken mushy's before he took SIX handfulls of mushy's out of his carryer bag & boiled them up! ( I estimate that to be about 4-500 mushy's, first timers IMHO need 1-200 for a good trip ) He then had FOUR cups of tea as he didnt feal the effects straight away. That was about all the info my friend could get out of him, he then went on to say that when they got back they found him insainly jumping arround the living room shouting " I am No. 1..... You are No. 2" & " I am God I am God " he was also throwing the super nes cartridges at the sealing & laughing like a good un!

My friend got a bit annoyed at this so they put him in the car to take him home, on the way he was scaring the crap out of the flatmates girlfriend & covering my friends eye's whilst he was driving.... they pulled over to let him out & he jumped straight on the bonnet of the car & proceded to jump up & down. My friend didnt find it funny so he drove off with Chris on the bonnet then stamped on the brakes to get him off! He then ran off into a field Shouting " I am God.... I am No. 1 " then proceded to take his cloths off. He was last seen running around the field in just his trousers. The farmer who owned the field had heard the rukas & got his shot gun to come out & look! He souted over to my friends that he had called the police, they tried to get Chris back in the car but they were fighting a loosing battle! As they had drugs on them, they decided to leave Chris in the field & flee! ( a little harsh, but what could they do? )

The next morning after our trip, we heard that Chris had been picked up by the police & spent Six hours in the cells tripping his nuts off!!! LMMFARO

Ah the good old days!
