oh theres no way im leaving without doing some peyote. whether i have to tie myself up in my room or not. lol.

I sure hope I can score some dried shrooms cause fresh sounds nasty.

hawaiian copelandia...........the most intense trip i've ever had,8 packs of em' goin round amsterdam like a madman,non-stop for 4 days,based in the meeting point beside concious dreams,stopping complete strangers in the street and starting ridiculous conversations,gettin attacked by a one-eyed prostitute for laughing at myself,paranoid bitch thought i was laughing at her,it was all great fun though i had a few mates who were tryin to keep me in check but to no avail,goin back in a few months for the buzz,definitely gonna do it again,the more intense the better

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Did some hawaiian about 2 weeks ago in the Dam. Frome Conscious dreams. The container had enough for two trips. I got two trips out of it. The effect waas a good light trip. Try one and then if things are working OK take the second. Then you will almost be to where the LSD was in the 70's.

However it took a straight member of our party 2 hours to get me into the huge electronic crocodile (Taxi) that would take me home, guys with joker smiles, girls with flicking lizard tongues, candyfloss that was actually on fire and all the Dutch police looked like gay gastapo officers from the producers. My only advice is don't let someone take you on a tour of the RLD.... I had to concentrate intently on the amazingly complexly patterned floor.... looking into a kamer window was a certain recipe for hysterics. Oh and wear slip on shoes... you don't want to end up wrestling with snake like shoe laces if they come undone.

Follow this by massive soul searching and intrspective thoughts.....

Since I've stuck to philosophers stones, mexicans and liberty caps..... certainly fun and buzzy but without the trauma.

hahahaha

fully man!

I was pretty scared before having my first experience (in July) as some of you may remember from my numerous posts about "what if???" and "how that??"..

I did them, I did trip quite intensly (wet Columbians), but theres absolutely nothing to be "scared" about.. it is something new, and it is fucking weird; but whateer you do, always think positive and that your going to have a good time.. if you think negatively, you might get paranoid and here comes the bad trip!

you do tend to get easily paranoid when under shrooms. thats just a referenced fact. now in order to think positively while doing them, you need to shatter all sources of stress that might tick off your trip. remember, when you are under shrooms and its your first time, you will experience something completely new and that might take your abilities to solve basic needs (like eating, drinking, or even reasoning) away

what I mean is that its a good idea to prepare everything you will/might need during your trip. so I always have a little checklist of what I need to get before shrooming. for those that are interested and for those that want to try shrooms for the first time, I suggest you guys have a look at it:

1) FOOD. you often get munchies while shrooming, and trust me, its REALLY nice to have munchies food whithin arm length from you instead of having to stroll around to find some place.. think about it.. chips, beef jerky, chocolat, sandwiches.. all of this is good shit to eat under shrooms.

2) DRINKS. VERY important. you often get thirsty, and for the same reasons as 1), its nice to have a bunch of water bottles lying around, trust me

3) VITAMIN C. you might not need this, but I suggest you keep a bunch of oranges with you (already cut ready to be eaten) as Vitamin C wears the effects of shrooms off to a certain extent.. so if you don't feel well or desire to slow your tripping down, take some vitamin C.

4) SHUT YOUR PHONES OFF!!! I had the luck of having my father call my cell phone while I was shroomed off my ass.. my phone was on the table and my two friends JUMPED and reached for it as soon as it started to ring.. offcourse they picked up and then threw me the phone.. assholes, and yes I couldn't really finish a sentence on the phone.. when I asked them why they actually answered MY phone, they just replied "I just thought it was the right thing to do!".. we were on shrooms!

5) WEED. very good to have enough weed while shrooming. smoke moderatly, as weed brings your shrooms trip down also. just smoke some light J's every now and then.. its more for the taste than the effects of weed.. while shrooming, your sensory receptions are duplicated.. everything you taste seems to have a 10x stronger aroma.. the food is so much nicer, drinking is a good experience also, weed is fantastic..

6) DO NOT look at yourself in a mirror... it fucks up with your brain too much.. or at least with mine! I nearly flipped out! I didn't see anything special.. just the symmetry was not good AT ALL for my poor little shroomed up brain

7) DO NOT look at things you find a little freaky already when your completely sober. I had the amazing idea of doing shrooms in my room with my mates here in brussels.. and then coming on this forum to see what people were up to. ofcourse I couldn't read a word.. the letters were moving all over the screen... what I did manage to see though, was Mazdog's forum picture which nearly got me to get a heart attack.. lol



anwyay, these are the main things I make sure are sorted before I start shrooming.. the rest is the psylocibe's job. all in all, remember that shrooms must be an amazing and unique experience that should be valued.

Happy trippin'!!!

peace,
Scott.

I never had weed bring me down. Infact smoking makes the trip more intense for me. Like a lil shroom boost. Shrug.

You always here this with tripping. I love looking in the mirror. Used to love to shave when tripping out as well (the razor leaves swaths through your beard and your head full of acid makes you think all sorts of wacked shite from your shaving your face off to painting ita lighter shade. If its your first trip, stay clear of mirrors and just take the trip first. Why push it? Shrug. But again, each person reacts differently to trips.

The one you left out is:
8. When things get rough, remind yourself that mushrooms only last about 6 hours. You aren't going to be crazy the rest of your life, the vibrant colors and unending laughter will cease at some point during the evening.

really?.. interesting stuff.. its just while shrooming, I'm usually quite active, talkative, and EXTREMELY giggly.. if I smoke weed, I feel suddenly heavier and knocked out.. hence the term "calms your trip down".. cos it feels like if you smoke a joint, the earth's gravity is getting heavier onto you

true about #8! that is true!
although theres is like a 0.00001 chance that you have that special kind of brain that reacts badly to psylocibin (just as some react badly to extasy or LASD or any other type of drug) and end up with a mental disability afterwards.
but even if you shroom yourself retarded, the effects will still wear off after 6 hours.. you'll just be a little different :s

good shit.

peace.

I can't wait to try the 'shrooms when I get there, I just hope they work. Years ago on 2 different occasions I ate an 8th oz. of 'shrooms and......
nothing. The rest of my group was trippin balls, not a thing for me. Hopefully I'm not immune to the fungus.


The Grateful Dead

They sell a dozen and a half different kinds of shrooms, Dead. Try the Hawaiians. If you don't trip on them you might as well turn to peyote.

I had the same thing.. a text from my dad saying "Are you OK?" Then all of my mates start shouting .. He knows, he knows!! Is scary shit when you are struggling to keep your head straight in the first place!

HE DID KNOW!!!

An adult usually needs to eat 30-40 grams of fresh mushrooms to get a decent trip; hence, many of the boxes are sold in 35g packages. It's perfect for an individual. They run in the E13-E17 range.

i use to eat a box of 35 grams in 2 or 3 times
but i m not a big psiconaut


they re srhooming the world!!!!

I've shroomed 3 times in Amsterdam as well as a handful of times back home. In A-Dam the first time I did Ecuadorians as I was doing them on my own. I ended up staying in the hostel and tripping in the dark - listening to music. Obviously not the best trip, but at least I was able to gauge the effects and I didn't get lost or something.

The second time I did Hawaiians. There were some other Americans in my hostel who had shroomed the night before and were also indulging in some more "exotic" stuff that night which they forcibly shared with me whenever possible. Needless to say this was a super intense trip. At the beginning I had the worst feeling like "oh no, I'm in way over my head this time" but the dude talked me down, and I forced myself to cool it because I didn't want these people to think I was flipping out (which I very nearly did). I guess I should say the reason I'm tentative with shrooms is because I had a really bad trip on shrooms back home where I wandered off on my own and was knocking on old people's doors at 3:00 am and almost jumped in a lake from about 6 feet up which almost assuredly would've resulting in a drowning. Anyway, after I'd come up and was feeling good the Americans took me out with them walking around the RLD at all hours of the night and it was an awesome trip. Definitely better than sitting in your room.

The third time I did more Hawaiians, this time with 3 other people I had met. It was super intense again - I was actually candy flipping. The come up is so crazy on Hawaiians...I can barely handle it. I had to sit there with my head in my hands out in the hostel beer garden for a good 20-30 minutes until I was cool. Once you're up though it's nothing but good times. I highly recommend it.

Anyway...the dude that was asking about drying them and worried about eating fresh shrooms...theyre not any worse tasting than dried ones, and its not much more to eat. The extra weight is just the water sitting in them still. I've eaten a whole package every time I've done them, which is like 35 grams, and it seems to be the right amount for the good trip. I've seen people split boxes and trip pretty bad too, so I don't know. To me there's no point to doing them if you aren't going for the whole experience though.

only done dried mexicans and that was fucking mental for me! im tempted to try stronger cos at the time i couldnt imagine tripping any harder than i was ( without like goin on to proper halucinagenics) but i know they are light ones!!!
