How safe is it to do mushrooms on your own? I'm very interested in having a transformative experience. I have a whole house to myself. Most comfortable place for me to be.
>>42153994If it's your first time do it with someone who makes you comfortable, make sure they're sober or very experienced.
Absolutely nothing can go wrong. Don't do less than 7 g
>>42154021That takes a particular kind of person KEK
>>42154021>Don't do less than 7 gIf you are talking wet mass, sure
>>42153994This is like asking if deep sea diving is safe to do solo. If you're experienced and properly prepared, then yes it can be very safe. If you're inexperienced, then there is likely reason for caution.Maybe consider a shallow dose at first.
>>42153994I think it’s safer by yourself and hate going it around others>>42154017I disagree with this anon because it’s often the sober uninitiated trip sitter who freaks out or causes issues but that’s my own extensive experiences More important than who is with you is how much you do. Starting small and titrating up is better advice than having some sober normie babysit you
>>42154035Everyone is different, 7g dry is my base dose. Never pushed past 9 but 7 is a good place for me. I don't understand the people that do anything above 10, it seems wasteful almost but maybe they've gone places I don't know about or know something I don't. Whatever the case I'm not ready for that much and 7-8 gets me exactly where I want to go.
>>42157383Forgot to add and this is purely based on my personal experience. I disagree with >>42154308>>42157160On the suggestion that you start to build up your dose. I recommend microdosing or jumping in the deep end. Micro dosing is enough to make you feel good but have neglible "effects" like a natural antidepressant. "heroic" dose will take you places and you'll learn something or grow whether you think you did or not immediately after. Anything in between is terrible because it's so easy to have a bad trip. You're lucid enough because your ego is still there but gone enough that the effects can get crazy and you're having to contend with what you're seeing as you the semi sober individual. Ego death trips can be scary but you're not you and you're just trying to figure out what you're being shown as a "generic" consciousness. Maybe they disagree and they could be right. This is just my personal opinion.
>>42157160I agree, the worst trips I’ve had were with others. While everyone can differ in reacting to psychedelics, the need of a tripsitter feels overblown to me. LSD was the first time I really ever took a drug (other than a few drinks) and I felt I had an amazing trip solo.
Ok assholes, you've convinced me to hold off on mushrooms for now - got myself a fat pound of grass instead.But I still will try mushies a few months from now, though. I have had LSD before, but not high doses. I've taken that by myself a couple of times, too. I'm pretty antisocial/introverted or whatever, so being alone might work out better for me desu. I'm just worried about blacking out and doing something fucked, that's my biggest fear.Imma spend some time reading some Terence McKenna in the meantime. Thanks all.
>>42158069if you've done acid mushrooms are nothing
>>42158095Idk, my understanding is mushrooms control *you* more so than an LSD trip, and mushrooms are more unpredictable. I'm just a bit paranoid and insecure about my mental state.
Oh thou loreless oaf, a mere toadstool can ne'r alone exalt thee ones soule into shambala! thou might not but feed a maiden 'i the throwes of her monthly infirmity, meth, berries of the belladonna, the flower of wolfesbene, the tar of poppeg, myristicin of nutmeg, lysergic acids, poison of the death adder after which the bodily fluids of the maiden secreted betwixt her legs are to be collected into a stoup of the betst selver or golde, to be mixed with thy own seed. And drinketh! thou shall be firm-set then!
I've only done solo and I've had good experiences with it. But I still consider myself a mere initiate. I have taken small doses and have incremented them with each new session. I started with 1 g, then moved on to 2, and now I'm at 3. I'll probably try a big jump to 4 next time and some day I'll do 5.Either way, I recommend going in without fear. Probably listen to the John Hopkins experiment music if you want to experience a pleasant trip. But as you keep experimenting maybe try and have pure silence. Also having a blindfold is pretty good for keeping your experience entirely internal. I haven't had a single bad trip after 6 of them. If anything even the "bad" moments have also come with some sort of euphoric feeling or happiness so it's easy enough to get through them, or at least feel like you will push through and, go figure, you actually do. Also I like to prepare myself by planning out my intentions and my setting for the day I'll do them. They can be quite draining. I usually need a calm day after doing them, so doing them on a weekday is out of the question, even if I had spare time after work.I do note that I take all of these precautions (the gradual increments, experimenting with and without music, the planning ahead) specifically because I do them alone and wish to minimize my chances of having a bad trip.
>>42158121I would advise against the John Hopkins list. Some of the pieces can get intense and have high peaks which can lead your journey in a bad direction. Some of music on there is great but classical pieces in particular are terrible for that.Look up "Mizu Sumu" by Keisuke Sakai or "You and Me" by MusicoterapiaTeam that's more the vibe I personally go with, zero lyrics of chorus and calming rhythmic sounds without getting intense. I agree with the sensory deprivation being next level travels. If you're just starting though definitely have calming music going because it will dictate the "pace" of the journey. Once you're comfortable definitely do them in the dark, no music and a nice blanket while laying there naked. You will sweat a lot without knowing it so lay on something you can easily wash.
nice pic in the op. nice kot. nice quote too, i see it that way too.
>>42158102this is garbage understandingits all dependant on other factors. dose, mindset and physical setting are important and if you think a chemical can control you then you probably shouldnt mess around with psychedelics
>>42157403Timing can be tricky with heroic doses. For example, a person may experience what you describe for most of the trip - ego loss etc., but then have a bad time during a long comedown/afterglow as the effects may wear off slowly. Shrooms are much slower than something like DMT, and can last several hours during which the conscious mind can sometimes choose to fight back.There's also the danger of psychosis for a small percentage of the population apparently. Getting used to smaller doses first may be able to mitigate that by letting you know this drug is not for you.
>>42162881Are you suggesting you can control your trips when you do heroic doses? Because that would literally be the first I've heard of ANYONE ever being able to do that. No need to be an asshole to someone trying to learn.
>>42153994Do as much as you can OP, do a heroic dose your first time and trip out to the loopy body high and visual disturbances like everything is moving on it's own. It's not that dangerous, and even if you have a bad trip the worst is like "I'm gonna kill myself" and you just laugh at the thoughts.I like the lemon-tek method with the tea, cause it taste like lemon and straw/hay, it's not that unpalatable.
>>42153994Life is a risk. If you are concerned if you are going to have a bad time doing shrooms alone then you are already doomed. Don't do it. If you feel like that then that is a sign that you are not prepared. Life is a risk. If you are not willing to risk your life for something better then just keep doing what you are doing.
>>42154308I started at 5g dry solo. I think the main thing is to be happy with yourself where you are. If you don't intend to leave and give yourself no reason to leave (turn off the phone, etc) why would you leave. That said, there's nothing wrong with smaller doses, some people get real precious about it. Just take your drugs nigger. I would be more concerned about cleaning up first then anything. You'll notice and mind it if you don't.
>>42163228Oh yeah, Definitely do the tea and lemon thing>no reason not to, just no reason to puke these days.
>>42153994the bad trip propaganda is run by faggots for faggotsyou can drop 8gs, and yeah you'll be blind for a couple days but 99% of the "bad trip" people are completely gay and have repressed memories, the other 1% have bad programmingsolo vs not solo, the thought of it is what already made a problemwhat it really does is show you how much of a lizard the people you are witnessing arealso ayahuasca ceos cringe richfags trying to warp your mind around their little gay faggot chicken factory farmpsi compounds don't give a fuck about improoooving>>42164584an iron stomach slight stat modifier is useful to keeping them down
>>42164674I mean the Chitin is a solid, sure you can keep them down, its just queesy vs not but why would you want to be queesy when you can get 90% of the effect using tea?
