Shrooms..

yea, would not just go out and pick them. thats fuckin sketch.

And yea, i'm not gunna do it now haha. im gunna see how i like them, then maybe grow them this summer. I work out west in the summer, so i was thinkin start them before i leave, let them grow while im gone, then come back and pick them. Again, all hypothetical haha.
 
Yeah, def not recommended if you don't know what you're doing. Better be safe than sorry. If you know what you're looking for and you've been doing it for a while it's no big deal though.

I have a question: If I wanted to try shrooms in a month or two, would it be a good idea if I just slept on my trampoline so then If me and my friends ever wanted to walk around it wouldn't be sketch? I'm just scared with my mom and shit.

Also how long does it take to peak?
 
It should be a requirement for anyone on NS who is planning on posting/replying to a psychedelic-related thread to visit the Shroomery first.. seriously guys.. look it up. Chances are you'll find the answers to every single one of your questions and a hell of a lot more.
 
RU RETARDED... it varies massively from place to place, much more than weed. Marijuana has a fairly consistent price per grade across the country. Mushrooms it all depends on the region. If they're picked in nature or if they're grown. IF they're grown how big the operation is. A lot of people just grow a real small yield to sell.

Everywhere from 20-50 is pretty common. Average around 30 maybe 35 an eight across the country.
 
I ate some mushies on one of those dark/creepy early fall nights. Laid on my trampoline with darkside. The shadows from the tree were dark and spooky but awesome. Other than time scaring the shit out of me when I zoned out a bit it was awesome.

Actually first time I did acid there was a trampoline at a friends high school grad party.

Another great one is fucking water slides. When phish played spac in 09. We were set up near the pools hanging out. IT was fucking hot. Seeing people in the pool and it looked fun. Found out it was only 2 bucks to get in. So much fun.

/whatever the fuck i just said
 
it definitely sounds like a fun time after this thread, I wouldn't mind trying it, idk where to get them though and if I got caught my parents would fucking flip
 
Dont second guess it, if you want to do it then do it. You're going really far out though, so be prepared, have a good set and setting, and have fun. There are two things that affect your trip: mindSET and the setting, or actual place. Make sure you're mentally in a good place, and that you have a place you'll be comfortable tripping.

The reason you need to know this stuff is so that on the odd occasion that the shrooms make you feel really sick and you need to puke 3 hours into your trip, you don't think you ate poison and are slowly dying. Just know that if any of that stuff happens, it is because you're on drugs. The bad trips are good ones in the morning, and one bad trip off an eighth isn't going to affect your life in any way.

Was tripping one time recently and thought it would be hilarious to just run off and hide behind a tree.... And then I realized I was standing behind a tree and giggling in clear sight off the road lol. The good part about night trips is that there are less people around, so you're a bit more free to do the ridiculous things that mushrooms make you want to do.

Just have a good day the day before, go skiing or something the day you're taking them, and then that night trip balls and have a great time.
 
hey you can die skiing and we all know that but we still do it....just like psychedelics...just like life.

There are good and bad parts to shrooms just like life, sometimes youre stoked sometimes youre not. Shrooms and acid are both just like 'life' intensifiers, having a good time on them is mindblowingly orgasmic, having a bad trip, realizing youve been caught or w/e on them sometimes has made me feel like im dying. ITS LIKE BEING A 5 YEAR OLD YOU.

one time on 2 doses, we had just climbed a massive mountainside then a huge rock on it. we were hitting my brand new bub in the sun, 2 days after getting out of school for the summer, and gazing down this really slanted side of the cliff.....then my sunglasses fell off!! I thought it was the end of the fucking world. i watched them fall literally in slow motion and land perfectly balanced on this tree branch in a crack/shelf about 30ft down miraculously, but little did i know that for the first half of watching them fall i had gotten up and started to run down the im gonna guess 70-80% slant after them and below the little shelf they were on was another drop. I successfully got my shades, but my friends said it looked like a combo of running, dropping, and sliding, and i had almost just killed myself, i didnt give a fuck, mission accomplished

 
Word i haven't done shrooms but have been with friends that have taken them. shrooms effect people differently and you have to realize that if your friend says he is fine taking an eighth and says thats what you should take, for you it may be a completly different story. one out of the 4 friend i was with completely tripped nuts of half a 16th and went into a coma on the side of the bike path (he had just smoked before that happened so that is most likely what triggered it), totally unresponsive for 2 minutes with people walking by asking whats wrong with him it was sketchy. we were finally able to carry him into a car after about 7 minutes. this wasn't the first time for taking shrooms it was around the 7th and basically every time he trips he goes into a unresponsive state but we thought he wouldn't with such a low dose. one time he thought his trip was over so he decided to walk home, but ended up waking up in a bush in a park at 11:00pm and was suposed to be home at 7:00pm and had no idea where he was and ended up calling his parents. just be smart where you are shrooming and be prepared for stuff like this. happy tripping guys.
 
your stories make me not want to try boomers

at least unless im in the woods, tripping at your house worrying about waking your parents and darkness in your basement sounds like not a good time
 
Also the biggest thing with psychedelics for me. The reason why I love them so much and did them more instead of other things.

It's a life changing experience if done right. Yes you can do it and just get a little fucked up and have a good time, but it's not beer or weed, it's more powerful.

You should be careful, you should be cautious. If you go in with the right intentions it can be something exceptionally magical and life changing. It can make you a better person, help you come to terms with your past, fix some mistakes, put things behind you. It can open up a whole new realm of what is possible.

It's no coincidence that some major discoveries came from people who had experience with psychedelics. As cliche as it is, you're mind is sort of in a box. Suddenly those boundaries that confined you no longer exist. Things seem limitless. Not only is there choice a and be, but there's also c,d,e,f,g...

At the same time there is a flip side. When dealing with something this powerful you have to be careful. There is a point for most people where it will stop benefiting them and start to go downhill. If that happens, you have to be able to realize you've plateaued and take it easy.

It's not something like beer or weed where if you do it it doesn't really matter how much you do it, it'll always be the same. Psychedelics have a powerful effect on the mind and shouldn't be taken lightly.

When used correctly psychedelics can be a very beautiful mind expanding experience. When abused psychedelics can leave you in bad place.

They are sacraments, not toys. They can be amazing, but don't take them lightly.

Best of luck. Happy trails.
 
i didnt read through the thread due to the plethora of page long essays being wrote, but one think that may have been mentioned or not is, one way to make taking mushrooms much more pleasant is to make mushie tea. I wont explain how to do it, but look it up its really easy, just make sure you dont over cook them or use too hot of water and kill the psilocybin is the big thing to worry about. You end up straining them out and dont have to actually eat the shrooms at all, but it is just as if not more effective than eating them, and with a bit of sugar or other sweetener of your choice like honey (maybe some milk too if you like milk in tea), you honestly can barely if at all taste the difference between it and regular tea. I find it to also be much less harsh on the stomach, and kicks in a bit faster too. I do mushies pretty often, at least in the summer time, and at this point i pretty well just wont eat them, if im going to do them, then i make tea.
 
and if your paying more for your mushrooms than you are for weed your getting seriously ripped off. I live in bc so most stuff here is pretty cheap, but good weed still goes for 25-30 an 8th, and mushies go between 5-20 an eighth. I guess in the states it could be different though
 
thats on the very cheap end in the summer time, tons and tons of them grow about 20 minutes away from here in pemberton. Good quality grown ones go for about 15-20 though, ounces go from about 65-120.
 
There's no point of selling 8ths of mushrooms for 5 bucks though. Even completely free there's no point. There's no money in it. Too much effort for nothing.
 
recomend smoking weed before? to make sure youre calm and happy. I am not too concerned about anything else, i wont be around anyone that i shouldnt be around while tripping, and ill be outside. Just wondering if smoking to make it so youre really happy would make thing better.
 
Eat the shrooms and wait an hour or two, if you still want to smoke do it then. A few tokes of mary jane and your trip will really start getting into full swing : )

Marijuana is actually a psychedelic in the same way as mushrooms just not nearly as powerful. You'll probably get pretty euphoric off just the mushrooms, especially if you're in a good mood when eating them and looking forward to your trip.
 
Yeah why not.If you smoke all the time, nothing wrong with smoking while tripping. If you're freaking out while tripping it could make things more intense though.

You should be fine.
 
Just remember its going to make things a lot more intense. My second trip was going fine but then we went outside to smoke and when I came back inside I was so mind fucked and confused it made it really unenjoyable. Like at one point I thought my own thinking inside my head was actually aliens/some higher being communicating with me, and convinced me that all my friends weren't actual friends and they had other motives behind there friendships, Im going of on a tangent but yeah still to this day after that experience I've had a hard time being able to tell if those friendships are genuine or not. Mushrooms are not something to be taken lightly and will reveal things that sometimes you wish you could still keep hidden, but I still think most people should try them because only once your aware of those problems can you do anything to fix it.

 
yea there really isnt any point in selling them, i did for a bit but it was pretty much useless, weed and m are where the money is. Most people just buy in bulk and help out friends, but you can get QPs and pounds for so cheap that people will just go out with tons and tons of eights and just move them all night at parties if theyre really determined to sell them. Theyre just so plentiful here that the market is pretty well over flown.

and you live in new england, i used to live in maine for a while, so i can understand why it would be hard for you to believe with the retarded drug prices you guys have out there
 
I love in new england, but I live everywhere a little bit, and I'm all over in the summer. I don't get to canada much.

IT was more of a no point to selling something you can't make money off of. If you're going to carry bulk of anything you need to have a profit margin.

Even if they grow right in the field in your back yard, and you pick a shit ton of them, selling them for 5 bucks still isn't worth anything. You'd have to be going through so much where, fuck it, why not just sell bulk at that point, or sell weed or something else.

Even the festival price sits from 20-35. Just because there's no point working anything you aren't going to make money of.
 
well yea like i said the going price at a place like the shambhala festival would be 15-20, but its not hard at all to find them for cheaper when your just at home buying from buddies is all im saying. but whatever im trying to start some pointless argument here. The mark up you can put on m here though is just ridiculous, buy it for 6-8 a gram for a half o or so and then sell it 40 a g or 5 a cap.
 
On a mushroom trip try to avoid logic involved decisions.

Example: After experimenting with smaller amounts of boomers, some friends and I decided to get lost, we had a problem because we took a bus into town to walk around on a nice spring day. All was great until we wanted to get home. None of us could figure how to read a clock! lol. lead to some confusion but we decided to hitch-hike home. Luckily ski communities have a lot of chill folks, a guy and his 100lb black lab picked us up and didn't seem to mind our observations "the trees are flowing like the seas" and such.

Time of day is important too. Around 3 is good cause you can explore during the day and end your trip in the evening chillin' watching sunset/stars. Your goofy behavior will look more innocent during the day/early evening.

Have fun! It's been a while since I got lost, I like to munch a bit at a show or a night out for a different vibe.

 
yea way more md and other amphs get synthesized in canada than in the states. Liquor and blow are really expensive here, but i dont do either of those so it works for me.
 
so yesterday i tried shrooms for the first time. Now im wondering, did i get ripped off?

I split and 1/8 with my friend, they were ground up when i got them(is this weird?), but it was an 1/8. My friend and i both ate our half, then started walking up the mountain. I just felt really high, and the sky was kinda pink(not crazy bright, but it was pink), and if i looked directly at something it would slightly morph, that was only if i stared directly at it and focused in on it. I guess colors seemed a little brighter, but not much.

was expecting more things to morph just looking around and for colors to be different.

Did i get ripped off? or is this what happens when you only take a half?
 
you only ate half an eighth. and they probably werent all that good of mushies. Look for some better quality stuff and try taking a full eighth next time
 
Im also looking to do them sometime. But I have heard that they change the way you look at things or gives you a different perspective. Is it in a good way or bad way cause I dont want it to change who I am..
 
Its not good or bad, its just different. You will decide if its good or bad. That said, I have had more incredibly awesome mushroom trips than bad ones, and the bad trips are good trips in the morning.

Fact: Mushrooms don't change people. People change themselves. If you change from a bad trip, its because you lost control, or made the decision to change. The life changing power of psychedelics comes from how you integrate the experience into your life after your trip. Taking smaller doses = a milder trip = easier re-integration. (this is coming from what I've read about Rick Strassman's DMT trials, a significantly more powerful drug, so you can imagine that mushrooms won't fuck you forever - no significant life changes in any test subjects). I always need to sit down the day after a big trip and talk about it or just think about it for a while. Its important to not just shove it away, because thats how you do damage.

All in all though, perfectly safe. I suggest you eat 2 grams, knowing that you're about to have a fucking amazing night (first time is always good), have an empty house and a really close friend who's taken mushrooms before, and just enjoy yourself.

TURN YOUR PHONE OFF AND HIDE IT. You don't want it with you when you're tripping, it will just be too complicated and confusing and you will get frustrated trying to use it.
