Shrooms

[Concamp]

So this saturday i am going to a party on the beach and i was thinking of trying shrooms. And thoughts and info about this subject would be great :)

Shrooms itself arent so bad, as long as you take a healthy amount, but taking shrooms at a party is a big NO! Unless it's a party with extremely close friends, don't. So say you take some shrooms at a party, and someone busts out something heavier, like heroin, LSD, etc. And you see everyone else doing it, then to your drug addled brain, there is no problem, THEN you have a problem. So make sure you are with close friends the entire party, or it is a party of just close friends.

FYI: I don't condone doing ANY drugs, just figured you don't need another naysayer. In my opinion, don't do any drugs at any time, but if you are, may as well make sure you are as safe as possible.

i wouldnt do them your first itme at a party. you odnt no what can happen ot what will happen. do them first with friends and see how you do with them.

ps... i dont condone it just giving information to someone who is gonna do it wether i say to or not.

I haven't ever tried shrooms but plan to in the very near future. Just because there are no real negative health effects to it. I was actually going to try it tonight but my friend had to bail on me. I don't want to try it unless im with my very best friends in a safe stress free environment. Im a little nervous but hear its pretty awesome lol

IF youve never done them dont do them alone your first time. You dont no how they effect you. And it is very easy to go into a bad trip. Do them with your friends and make sure your not in anyplace were there are bad vibes. i only say this cause your gonna be nervous when you do them and if you start thinking bad stuff then its not gonna end well. HAve a saftey safe lol. Like your room or couch or something where nothing can get you (mentally of course). BE SAFE.... and DONT DO DRUGS.

Don't try them at a party! I've never tried them but if I would it would def be at a friend's house or some safe place or with someone you REALLY TRUST

The first part was spot-on; doing shrooms at a party is generally regarded as guaranteeing a bad trip. However, "something heavier" being busted out is highly unlikely, depending on the people at the party. LSD or ecstasy could definitely make an appearance at a party where there's also shrooms, but the OP can be pretty sure no one will be whipping out heroin. And LSD and ecstasy are not nearly as dangerous as heroin.

i wouldnt do them your first itme at a party. you odnt no what can happen ot what will happen. do them first with friends and see how you do with them.

Solid advice, and impressive attitude as well. We don't see many people on these forums who can give great unbiased info.

Don't be nervous. Really, it's not all that exciting, at least not in my experience. I smoked some weed as well after I had taken the shrooms, to make sure I was very calm. Definitely find a safe spot, going somewhere in nature (forest, etc.) is always more exciting and makes you feel much safer. Also, when you do them, watch the clouds. There is more amusement than you ever realized in the sky.

IF youve never done them dont do them alone your first time. You dont no how they effect you. And it is very easy to go into a bad trip. Do them with your friends and make sure your not in anyplace were there are bad vibes. i only say this cause your gonna be nervous when you do them and if you start thinking bad stuff then its not gonna end well.

OP, designating a spot beforehand (while sober) as a mental safe-zone is a good idea. I know when I've gone on bad trips (from weed, not shrooms), having a spot where I can bring myself back to reality is a god-send. Also, in the rare case that you have a bad trip, try looking at yourself in a mirror. I've done this before on bad trips and it's worked quite successfully.

Also, HAVE A SOBER FRIEND AROUND. That's the fastest way to get out of a bad trip, because you can guarantee yourself that anything they're telling you is true. Just make sure it's a person you can trust, someone who won't play tricks on you or make fun of you while you're tripping. Sober assholes are never good while you're on drugs.

If you are listening to some Popol Vuh music in your colour-clad room, you will definitely will see good stuff.

Ha ha that's a great idea! I keep having to put it off because my lady is gone :-( I may just do it without her though. What genre of Music is Popol Vuh?

[Magus]

Popol Vuh?Krautrock - it's a German Experimental Psychedelic Rock music from the 70s. They use sound guitar effects similar to those when you are hallucinating. Better than Dubsshit, when you are high.

Thats more of a personal way to get out of a bad trip. It works for some people... but ive seen people punch out mirrors and end up cutting themselves. Do what you are MOST comfortable doing in a bad trip. Dont let people tell you what to do. Take charge of your mind and body. Remeber that its just a drug and will eventually go away. BUT there are people who totally lose it and need guidance. If that ever happens to you, you probly wont remember anything. If that happens shrooms are not right for you. You'll no if that happens cause your gonna piss whoever your with off and they'll tell you about it. Just be safe and dont be stupid. The last thing you need is to have your mom call you wondering why her mirror is broken and why there is a pillow stuffed with graham crackers and funyuns in the microwave...

I wouldn't take them at a party for my first time (and didn't for my first time)! If you start having a bad trip, you don't want other people to see, because you're in a very sensitive and frantic state of mind where you really need to have close friends there to calm you down. If you wanna take shrooms, test the waters with some people you trust first and have them watch you while they're sober in case things go bad. Do them in private in a space with optimally just you and your sober friend(s). Happy tripping! :)

If you have a diagnosis (or genetic predisposition to) psychotic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia or bipolar I, there's a chance you could trigger psychosis (the same risk exists in weed as well). My friends dad ended up in a psych ward for quite some time after taking LSD and becoming psychotic, so do be careful. It's different, but it's the same sort of drug, you know?

Otherwise, just be careful and stay with as many people and in a safe environment. Don't end up tripping alone and ending up God knows where.
