Anyone with shroom experiences?

[literallynoone]

Ordered a growkit for "Golden Teachers" off of a website yesterday. Me and my friends have been joking about doing stuff that's harder than weed and alcohol for a while because we live in the "drug capital" of our state but since coke, etc is kinda expensive I thought I'd tried shrooms first. Anyone willing to share their experiences? Maybe some advice for the first time users.

I don't have any experiences with shrooms yet, but I do want to try them too. Hopefully someone soon come up with a helpful answer. I would only try it at low doses at first, because I don't want to freak out the first time I try them ya know?

Yeah. My advice is to avoid getting in your head too much. You can start looping and thoughts can spiral so much and it makes for an uncomfortable trip. Set up something to have your mind on like painting. Avoid nicotine too, nothing bad will happen I just drained the juice out of my vape so bad being that high lol.

Also for a heads up, they can make some people pee a lot so make sure you have a bathroom near for the first time to see how it effects you. I was peeing every hour or less for my first time.

Start low. You can always try it again, it is better to try 1.5g-2g before trying a higher dose. Not everyone reacts well to it and if you tried an eighth it would be a lot worse.

Should I grab someone sober to sit with me/us? Heard first time it isn't that uncommon to have a bad trip and vomit or do some moronic shit and apparently SSRIs can make that worse so I'm kinda worried. Any cool stories from tripping btw?

It would probably make it better if you do that, it should be with someone who's tripped before though so they know how to interact with you. Some sober people can make things worse lol.

And I don't really have that many stories because I only tried it a handful of times in my room/boyfriends room before I was diagnosed with bipolar lol. But the best experience honestly had to be sex while both of us were tripping. It heightened everything. I really recommend one day if you can.

Having a trip sitter honestly made me super anxious and self-conscious the first time. I had a much better experience alone. Access to somewhere outdoors that feels safe is also really nice, going out and just looking at leaves and trees and feeling the sun and wind on your skin is incredible, and staying cooped up inside can feel stifling. Really I'd just say to be prepared for a variety of activities, since trips can go in really unexpected directions -- have snacks on hand, drinks, movies, a cozy dark room if you need it. Also, like trying ungracefully said, start slow; I definitely wouldn't go above 2g for your first time, I'd probably even go as low as 1g if it were me. A nice trip that's a little short/weak is better than a potentially long and miserable bad trip.

I'm happy to answer any questions (I have some experience growing them too), but I do have somewhat unusual reactions to psilocybin; I don't really get visuals or 'religious experiences' or anything like that. I would characterize it more as clarity of mind, like everything's a little more vivid, and my thoughts tend to race. They hit me pretty hard, and I get a lot of anxiety too. So take my advice with a grain of salt, since you could react to them pretty differently.

i've done em a handful of times. my biggest advice is do em with people you really trust/can sniff out as good people. bad/wonky energy from people mixed with shrooms can seriously fuck you up. trust me, it did it to me. not why im here per se but def threw a wrench in my life.

Don't really have any questions for now I think besides if you know how SSRIs might mix with psilocybin. I might be curious how growing them yourself (not from a growkit) works but I guess that's a question for future. My parents have a small plot up in the mountains so I might just stay overnight if i do it alone. I'm really worried about freaking the fuck out tho since I tend to "be really fucking insuffrably loud" when I'm drunk according to my friends and "a little too honest but in a good way I guess" and then in the morning promptly forget most of it.

I've heard that SSRIs can kinda 'mute' the trip, make it a little less intense. But there's so much natural variation, both between individuals and between trips, it's hard to say for sure. I wouldn't be too worried about it, there isnt any like, direct interaction AFAIK.

Things can get weird, but you need to take quite a bit (3g+, at the very least 2g or so) to really start to feel like you're losing a firm grip on reality. Like ungracefully said just try not to get in your head too much, ground yourself in the external, remember it will end at some point. Having a trip sitter is fine if that seems like something you want, I'd just say to establish beforehand that if their vibes aren't working for you you should feel free to say so and have somewhere else to go lol.
