I read that a lot of first time users don't remember the experience they have with either psilocybin (dried psychoactive mushrooms, eaten), or 5-MeO-DMT (dried psychoactive toad venom, smoked). That puts me off... what's the point then?

Would reducing the dosage help with this?

I've never heard that and it certainly hasn't been my experience. You can absolutely start at a low dose and still get effects and you'll remember it just as clearly as if you'd been mildly drunk/high. Even higher doses have been completely memorable for me, although at a certain point your thinking can start working in ways that don't really correlate to your normal way of functioning and so those parts can be hard to recall because the context/frame of reference doesn't make sense any more.

I've also found they do wonders for my mental health, and it seems like each time I trip I gain something new that builds on stuff I made sense of or understood during the previous trip. I think it probably helps that I have decent amounts of time between trips to integrate what I experienced into my regular life. Like some others have said, it's the benefits after the trip that I seek as much as the trip itself.

Dude they’re so loving strong lmao it kind of proves the rumor

Basically fwiw if a mushroom “aborts” people suspect they’re stronger but nobody ever has enough of them to really confirm. Usually you get aborts with the rest of a grow, which you harvest in like 36 hours of pins. They’re just regular mushrooms that stall and die off early for whatever reason

My theory is that a mushroom continues to produce psilocybin regardless of how much it physically grows until the caps expand. I had a few tubs that had insane pinsets and didn’t get taller than an inch max. The caps didn’t expand, however they didn’t abort though. I harvested after seven or eight days of waiting for them to do something, a huge pain in the rear end since there were hundreds if not thousands of them.

But they were worth it. So worth it. They absolutely gently caress. Like 0.8g of a regular cube is close to 2.3-2.4 with these fuckers. I grind and gel cap them with like 0.4g each, take two, and just completely go to the moon :madmax:

Aside from getting shot in the head, David, what have you done with yourself?
Grew B+ earlier this year and have the grain spawn for some GoldenTeachers ready go to add to substrate. Growing is not that hard to do

If you want a stronger trip soak in lemon juice for 15 minutes. Grind or break up in small pieces.

I like to switch between outside and inside. The harder I trip the worse screens are.

The hardest I ever tripped was on acid and looking at a screen was impossible while I was peaking. It was just confusing and very disorientating. I remember my friend put on Star Trek TNG and I just remember everything on-screen just being flat and having no depth. It was all one thing. Like Data was standing in front of some computer panels, but to me he was standing there with the computer panels growing out if his head and arms and becoming part of the ship. I told my friend to shut it off :lol:

On my last shroom trip a few years ago, me and my buddy were fascinated by these things we found at our Airbnb so we tried to use a tablet and order them online for ourselves. Trying to read the tags on the things was impossible because it was in Swedish and then when we finally got to the website, it was in Swedish too. Also it had very coarse, upsetting backgrounds that started freaking us out.

I am no experienced astral traveler like some of the people in this thread. but I know enough to know they're cool, they're good and they absolutely saved my life. I'd like to tell you how.

when I was 21 I decided to end my life. I was in a bad place mentally. all of the meaningful relationships in my life seemed so... meaningless. I did the cliche thing, wrote a note, had it all planned out, had the place, time and means ready. the night before I was going to go through with it one of my roommates got a hold of some mushrooms. I had heard they could help with depression and I figured I had absolutely nothing to lose by trying. I'm not experienced but my sitter who nibbled a cap to "ride the vibe" with us said he'd never been so hosed up on so little so I took that to mean they were good.

I covered two large slices of pizza in the psychic fungus and went to town eating it. it was a really fun trip. I saw dragons flying over the city, snakes made of fire dancing in the forest, at one point our hallway became somewhere wild, wonderful and terrifying all at once. it may have been good fun but I was still very depressed and very much still wanted nothing more than to just not deal with anything anymore. as the hallucinations started to fade and my anxiety, fear and anger came back. I knew what I was going to do the next day so I decided I'd go to bed for the night.

I turned off the bedroom light and walked to my bed. I laid down on top of my covers and set a bullet on the nightstand next to me (I'm certain I wrote something emo on it, but I don't care to remember what). I tried to calm my mind and just go to sleep. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. no good, I wasn't tired. just as quickly as I closed my eyes I opened them again and had to throw my arm up over my brow to block the blinding white light that was preventing me from focusing on anything.

seconds passed and my eyes adjusted to the light. I knew now that it wasn't one of my roommates messing with me by turning a light on. I wasn't even in my old room anymore. I found myself standing in front of a kitchen sink with a dish towel draped over my right shoulder. I noticed an amazing backyard with a fallen over climbing tree. I could see a sky that was so intensely light blue that it made me feel like a small child. but most important of all I could feel love and joy in this house. it was warm and inviting and so different than anything I was experiencing in my life at the moment.

I was desperately trying to understand what I was seeing. I felt a tug at my pants. I turned around not sure what to expect. it was a little boy, no more than 4 wearing some adorable overalls. his lip was shaking uncontrollably and he looked like he wanted to cry but was too terrified to make anything happen in that regard. I placed the dish towel on the counter and picked the boy up. as I did his eyes opened the floodgates and he started bawling. I picked up the child, put his forehead to mine and asked "what's wrong?" through raspy quick inhales the boy said to me "I was so afraid you weren't here anymore." I hugged the child and told him "of course silly, where would I go?" given the circumstances I have no idea why I said that. the boy laid his head on my shoulder and whispered back "I'm happy you're still here." then, as we stood in the kitchen embracing, I closed my eyes. as soon as they were closed I couldn't feel the child anymore. I opened my eyes and found myself back in my lonely depressing bedroom. I got up and told my roommates that I think I just talked to my son. in case it's not obvious, I had no children.

nearly 20 years have passed since I planned to end my life. I've never wanted or tried to since then. I've been far too scared to ever take mushrooms again as well.

I'm not particularly religious or spiritual, I don't try to explain what happened other than to say I was very depressed and saw what I needed to see. the fallen tree in my backyard now looks remarkably similar to what I remember. my one and a half year old son is starting to look remarkably like the child I saw when I was someone else who might as well have been living another life. the only thing I know for sure about the experience is magic mushrooms saved my life, and in the end that's all I need to understand. thanks for reading if you put yourself through all those words!

That's actually a really cool story, thanks for sharing. I'm kind of interested in trying mushrooms partly cause of my ptsd and stuff, I'm not going in expecting something as awesome as what you saw but maybe it would jostle me out of my funk. I tend to get paranoid though so I'd have to probably do it with someone I trust.

Imagine a hilariously absurd scenario where I don't understand how to buy and ship mushrooms online directly to my house without going to jail, because I'm a dork, but that I also love drugs and have never gotten over the high of my cool friend giving me some shrooms years ago. In this comedy sketch, how would the dork buy these immediately?

Count me in the "mushrooms absolutely saved my life" camp, though it was not so immediate. But I spent probably my entire life from 15-25 in a severe depression where suicidal ideation was never far from my mind. There's no question to me that if I never got help I wouldn't have made it, and I don't know that I'd have gotten the help if not for a night where I said "hey maybe I'll try these mushrooms instead of weed and see what happens".

The trip itself was all the usual things, weird and interesting, but it was the glow that came with the following week that really felt like it changed me. It was the first time I'd truly felt like a human being since I was a child. I'd gotten so used to feeling nothing - to aimlessly floating around mirroring what other people were doing and being incapable of expressing myself, or even knowing if there was anything underneath to actually express - that I didn't even realize that it was possible to not feel that way. I immediately called therapists and stopped resisting treatment

I remember driving and listening to music (Joanna Newsom) and suddenly being overwhelmed with emotion to where I had to pull over and just start weeping. I had not cried since I was a little kid. But something just hit me, that I'd listened to this same music so so many times before, but never on anything more than a sort of "intellectual" level. Where my emotion had gotten so buried that I wasn't capable of approaching music (or any other kind of art) beyond just dissection and analysis. "Liking" a thing just meant I thought it sounded unique or like something I hadn't heard before. But to actually have the experience of just hearing some music, and it making me feel something, it felt totally new and intense. It was wild


and lol I didn't mean to write any of that before I saw Winkle-Daddy's post. I actually just came here to say I finally tried shroom tea and it did make the come-up better but I had to piss the whole time so it kind of ruined it

I too, like drugs. I haven't tripped in a little over a year but one of my roommates is moving out soon so when that is done I think it will be time to reset.

also lol at folks who can't trip alone, some of my best trips have been by myself. the first time I took mushrooms I still lived with my folks, who conveniently lived adjacent to a few acres of woods and I went for a walk and had a blast. I found a backpack hanging off a tree and thought it was a message of some kind until I figured out that the seam between the zipper and bag had failed, and the former owner took their things and left it in the woods to rot.
