I know we've had this thread tons of times before, but are psilocybin mushrooms Veeky Forums approved?
I consumed about 3.5 grams yesterday and it was the most fun I've ever had. I came down after about 4 hours and I felt perfectly fine, sober enough to do homework or maybe even go to the gym. I felt absolutely no negative effects today, I was just in a great mood.
How often can I do mushrooms without it affecting my mental and physical well being? The only negative physical effects I experienced were minor nausea and a suppressed appetite.
Negative effects are addiction and wasting 4 hours coming down off something
Jack Jones
I'd advise you to space out trips. I did mushrooms and LSD a handful of times over the last 4 years and now I deal with mild visual snow. It's like very feint, tiny pinpricks of static in your vision. Easy to ignore, but once you start focusing on it you can't stop. Computer screens and single color walls can be hard to deal with on certain days.
I also get a light show inside by eyelids every night when I'm trying to go to sleep. It's pretty distracting.
My problem was when I had stuff I'd burn through it pretty fast. It'd be like a 2 month period of tripping every 2 weeks or so, followed by a cool off of a few months or so.
Honestly psys aren't something you need to use more than once or twice a year. The prospect of another trip, of going back into that headspace, can get you real excited, and it's easy to focus on the short term and just jump from trip to trip. But after a while you realize it's kinda the same shit over and over again. These days I'd honestly prefer to watch a movie and drink a few beers over tripping.
Logan Gutierrez
I would only do it 3-4 times a year. Once a month is probably bad for you.
Justin Gomez
Mushrooms are B A S E D. If you're ready to change something about yourself they'll give you the confidence and willpower to do it.
Connor Sullivan
>addiction to mushrooms are you fucking retarded?
this
Julian Robinson
>mild visual snow That shit's always there nigga. Your eyes and brain are analog sacs of salty fluid and tissue - not a fucking handicam.
Connor Mitchell
I know that it's possible to get addicted to anything, but mushrooms are pretty low risk in terms of addiction. Your body will build up a strong tolerance very quickly.
How bad are these side effects? Also, when did you first start experiencing them? Have you noticed any considerable mental side effects aside from some minor visuals?
I was suprised by how not life changing my experience was. It was just a lot of fun. After I came down, I just wanted to rip off my closed and run naked on a beach with a bunch of women.
Lincoln Jenkins

I think psys can make it more of a problem. Tripping basically trains your brain to look for patterns in front of your vision. Like if I zone out looking at a pattern it starts to swim. Or if I'm in an office building with plain white walls, the visual snow is really visible, and it can get distracting. Or sometimes I'll see what look like faint shadow patterns on a wall that aren't actually there.
>How bad are these side effects? Also, when did you first start experiencing them? Have you noticed any considerable mental side effects aside from some minor visuals?
Mine aren't that bad. If you google visual snow you get a lot of images of stuff way worse than what I deal with. It also varies a lot day to day. Most days it'll be hardly noticeable, but other days it's obviously there.
Aside from visual stuff I haven't noticed anything mental. I work as a research scientist. The visual snow and all that hasn't affected my work, my ability to advance my career, my ability to maintain relationships, or anything like that.
I don't remember exactly when it started. At some point I just started noticing it, and to this day I'm still able to notice it.
If I could go back I'd trip a lot less. At a certain point I was just doing it because hey I've got some acid or shrooms on me and I want to pass the time. With the perspective I have now, I think my past self was pretty stupid in that regard.
Camden Ross
I also see visual snow constantly but instead of shrooms it was after prolonged use of acid and weed wax
Thomas Baker
>addiction >shrooms
Kek a doodle doo!!
Wanna know how I know you don't know jack shit about what you're talking about?
Jace Perez
I've done much more acid than mushrooms but I'd say the same guidelines apply. Don't trip too often in a short amount of time, especially regular high doses. If you do it takes a while to come back to feeling completely normal (months or years). My roommate and I had 100 hits to split between the two of us a few years ago and naturally we were excited to do some and we tripped pretty hard every two weeks or so and a few times when I was driving I noticed I was having visuals in the sunlight a few months later. Shit was pretty nerve wracking, I couldn't judge the distance between myself and the car in front of me comfortably in traffic and the lines in the road were warping and moving. Tripping is awesome, and high doses are the best but really try to save it for a special occasion. 3 or 4 times a year sounds reasonable with high doses, maybe once a month with something moderate and a little bit less between if you're microdosing
Parker Jones
Psychedelics, same effect at the end of the day. Also weed is way more psychedelic than people like to admit, especially wax. I've seen a lot of people lose months in wax holes.
Evan Hall
Keep it to an annual thing. Mushrooms are better if you don't do them often.
Anthony Williams
stupid question: Can a no-talent use psychs to make things more intuitive, such as maths?
Gavin Campbell
Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with the expectations you have going into it. I went into my trip pretty much at my lowest point while looking for ways to change and the different perspective I got from my trip just kind of stuck with me permanently. As a result I started getting fit, started a business, started working hard in school, because I realized that the only thing holding me back was myself.
I don't use them as a recreational drug though and I don't recommend that anyone else does either. I tripped I think 3 times and then never did it again, and i dont think I'm going to. Once you get the message, hang up the phone.
Gabriel Robinson
goddamn it there goes nofap
Dominic Young
Maybe thinking about math concepts, but 30 minutes after you start to trip, you won't be able to read for shit. The letters keep running away. It takes so much concentration to read individual words, then to assemble those words into sentences, and those sentences into paragraphs.
Tyler Myers
Walker?
Samuel Taylor
Texas Ranger?
Charles Brooks
This is sam from texas if thats you m8
Jaxson Kelly
For me, art. This is something I drew on psychedelics
Dominic Ross
Nah m8 just another guy.
Nathaniel Jenkins
you suck. thats awful in every way. you should be ashamed that you put that on the internet.
Daniel Torres
Problem is that you are unlikely to eat during your trip. Best to take shroom while on a cut
Jordan Turner
Ben?
Jayden Carter
The positives are that tripping is fun. The negatives is that people who do psychedelics never shut the fuck up about them
Cameron James
Weights for the body.
Shrooms for the mind.
Anthony Perry
Do you buy them from a dealer or find 'em?
I'm sure I could scour a cow field if they're fuckin' pricey.
Also do they appear on a drug test in any capacity?
Brayden James
I do psychedelics once or twice a month, mostly because they are fun, in my opinion they're not addictive at all, and most of them won't cause physical damage. Hppd is rarely caused by overuse but haven't had that happen to me.
Carson James
It's abstract
Oliver Parker
I wouldn't recommend trying to pick your own. Many people have gotten the wrong mushroom that way.
Can't help you with the dealer part, but as for drug testing, psilocybin is detectable in urine for 1-3 days. It clears the body pretty quickly. Your drug test might not even be looking for it. I know the air force stopped testing for it, because they got like 2 people in over 2 million tests and figured it wasn't worth the money.
Easton Cruz
Luckily my dealer is also my brother. I'll see if he has a connection and just cut out the middle man.
Camden Bell
>such as maths Fucking no. The neurological structure of your brain changes after doing mushrooms and you will start shifting to the right side of your brain more. I've done mushrooms and LSD for 4 years now and my way of thinking changed. I used to be 95% logical and 5% emotions but not anymore. If you wanted to be more creative through mushrooms, go ahead, if you want to enhance your logical and mathematic capabilities, stay the fuck away from them.
Jordan Harris
How many people you know did shrouds just once even though they were readily available?
Luis Myers
>right side of your brain Bet you believe in the 10% myth as well.
William Young
It's the best drug for fun to harm ratio
Hell, shrooms schools are even legal in New mexico, lifting on shrooms and listening to tribal music like wadruna is God tier.
Zachary Bell
Looks good
Julian Cooper
As said, do not take psychedelics too often. The condition being described is HPPD and it takes a fucking long time to go away, honestly. I've had friends who have gotten it after just two trips but perhaps that is just genetic predisposition. I was stupid enough to do 25i/shrooms/LSD 6 out of 7 days one week last year and it fucked my shit up senpai. Mentally I was fine, but it was as if I was on a low dose of something for many subsequent weeks - everything I was reading had a faint oscillation to it, I had real closed eye visuals at all times, and the visual snow made it seriously hard to get to sleep at night.
I've had some great times on psychs (have some stories if interested senpai), but for your own sake don't do them too much lad.
Alexander White
> Honestly psys aren't something you need to use more than once or twice a year.
I've had 200+ trips, most of them on stuff other than LSD.
Psychedelics are an amazingly cost effective form of recreation. I limit trips to 1x a week at least. No point in chasing clouds of clouds and all that.
PS: AMT is the rice of psychedelics. It's a good base to mix with other trippy drugs. MXE would be the Holy grail but fucking scheduling laws.
Evan Turner
I've tried shrooms a few times recently and only had very subtle effects which have gone after a short time.
I know I have been silly and done them too often hoping to trip (and thus wasted them because of tolerance) but do some people just not trip?
Brayden Price
This is really good. I draw daily but the one time i took shrooms and tried to draw something all I ended up doing was scratching the pen back and forth for a few minutes.
Christopher Torres
Do you take antidepressants?
For psychedelics that are eaten (LSD tab), a smidgen of hordenine can extend the trip a bit.
Aiden Rogers
green text some good stories for us user
Dylan Hall
I doubt you have a tolerance, do you know the dosage you took. Did you do it on a full stomach as well? Because eating beforehand or during can bring you out of a trip.
Elijah Gonzalez
>Do you take antidepressants? I forgot the mention that, no I don't, no crazy pills.
First one was 13 wet grams because I wanted to ease into it.
Second was 25 and third was 35.
Things do happen, I feel funny when I walk (and walk more up right). I giggle a little and one time I got swirls in my vision but that's it.
Was on an empty stomach too.
Evan Wilson
If it wasn't for intense shroom trips I wouldn't have started reading books and learning to drive.
Andrew Morales
That's really low, I usually go 15-20 g dried or 60-80g wet.
Wyatt Perez
You might just have a natural tolerance. You might need to consume more than the average person.
If you get a tab of LSD and can't trip from that... well you'd have an extraordinary tolerance
James Thompson
Proud of you user
Asher Carter
I suspect I do because I enjoy salvia while my mates hate it.
Smoked it with a mate once and he said it felt like Alice in Wonderland (with his eyes open) whereas I have to close my eyes to get anything.
I also ate them straight and quite enjoyed the taste, stomach does rumble a bit of them but nothing to worry about.
Connor Butler
Can anyone recommed some trip music?
I usually listen to this and it works pretty good:
After having some intense trips on shrooms, eating them wet, dried and even truffles I also liked the taste... But now, just the thought of the taste makes me wanna puke...
Owen Jones
Watch fantasia while tripping. It's awesome.
Then watch Heavy Metal.
Austin Kelly
The sounds of whatever environment you are in.
Don't distract yourself from the universe with bullshit.
Ryan Cox
I listened to basically the entire soundtrack from Ori and the Blind Forest.
Would recommend
Ryan Robinson
I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING
to all you guys that never tried pychidelic drugs. Try it. At least shrooms which are natural and not chemistry. That shit will take you on a journey whether you want it to or not, and you will have to face yourself and every aspect of who you are and there is not stopping it. If you want answered some things that have been bothering you in your life and you couldnt think of anything yourself, shrooms will help you make that decision. Not to mention that the experience it self is to someone who hasnt done shit like that unimaginable. Because you cannot describe some of the things you see on shrooms especially with your eyes close AND ESPECIALLY with the proper music playing in the backround. You will literally be able to see music and its a pretty cool thing.
But if you are not ready to face yourself and everything that comes with you, you might not want to do shrooms. And if you do take them, dont fight it and just go with the flow and let them take you.
Carson Campbell
congrats but please dont show anyone these because they are awful
James Wood
Same fag.
Cooper Smith
Shrooms are great. My favourite drug by far and the best bit, I get to pick my own because of where I live :) share the forest's bounty with my friends. All free and natural, how good, season starting back up soon for me :D
Adam Cox
Tha's pretty dope tho
Eli Moore
Psys are a twice-a-year staple for me. Excited to do shrooms in forest close to Amsterdam in a few weeks.
They're great. You get the type of energy and confidence you had before the world wore you down.
Oliver Robinson
Salvia is a dissociative not a psychedelic.
Bentley Mitchell
>season starting back up soon for me Kiwifag?
They are both hallucinogenics.
Carter Rogers

Jason Butler

Aaron Butler

Jace Long

Jonathan Bell
Not this guy, but the same thing happened to me.
I see blue and yellow static (like an old tv or nighttime security video feed) pretty much constantly. In low light and blue light it's really apparent.
I'm not a partier, but was having problrms with anxiety (so bad i was throwing up my breakfast and not sleeping) and decided to go the psychedelics route. I did shrooms, lsd, and mescaline all within a four month period and am pretty sure thats what caused the visual snow.
I have no regrets though, because am a completely different person. I haven't been this happy / anxiety-free ever. The visual snow does suck though.
Never had visual snow but I did experience letters bouncing for like 10 seconds after an intense shroom trip that I had 2-3 day ago at that time. All normal now.
Jaxon Wood
>15-20g dried whats it like to trip for 3 days?
Thomas Ramirez
>addiction Literal fucking shit for brains retard newfriend confirmed
David Cox
My nigga
Nolan Gomez
For me, the first time on each psychedelic (except mushrooms because I fell asleep and woke up disoriented in the silent dark with my neighbors arguing) was an amazing experience, including research chemicals. Each succeeding dose was less and less phone though to the point where I would pretty consistently get bad trips. Acid and such opened my eyes to universal telepathy, and being so sensitive that you can literally feel the entire world through your carpet, and I've held those experiences in my heart but for me the returns diminished so much that I stopped doing them alltogether.
This may or may not happen to you OP, so if your experience starts trending downward, know when to call it quits.
Josiah Evans
>eaten(LSD tab) Uhh, you didn't eat it right? Like you didnt chew it and swallow it like a tablet? I sure hope you just meant taking orally and leaving it under your tongue and dissolving
Aaron Powell
>15-20 dried No one is measuring PsyPeens rn senpai, don't lie.
Zachary Ramirez
Nigger faggots
Jeremiah Green
The highest I've done is ~18.8g. Some people just need higher amounts to get an intense trip. Personally, I just wanted to kill my ego... Man... My whole room became like youtube... Sorted so many problems.
Christopher King
eating has roughly the same bioavailability, just a longer absorption time
Zachary Edwards
Why brag and lie on Veeky Forums? Jesus...
Samuel Walker
I tried to write during my first acid trip but got super intimidated by the blankness of the page and the idea of creation
Brody White
LSD is the patrician's psychedelic drug of choice
The only downside is that it lasts so long. Sometimes I just want the trip to be over after 4-6 hours
Robert Hughes
I think this is for someone abusing it or taking really big doses. I felt like shit after i did MDMA, but i knew why so no depression or anything. I month after i most def. felt normal again. Also i did way to much considering my weight.
Cooper Harris
LSD tabs don't really dissolve, in my experience, in the same way that a lot of other hallucinogens do. I don't trip until I swallow it, which is different than 2-C variants.
AMT you definitely have to swallow. And it smells fucking awful. And you have two hours of pseudo-nausea. But man, the synergy it has with every other hallucinogenic or stimulant class drug...
There's a reason Shulgin called it the "Rolls-Royce of psychedelics" or something very similar.
Juan Murphy
Psilocybin mushrooms are God-tier. Use them every three months or less. Spring/summer/fall/winter. Great tool to clear up mental shit.
Parker Jackson
Im against movies while tripping, music is better. I save the movies for when im coming down at like 4 am and i watch something super comfy and familiar to get me grounded and feeling safe, usually Star Wars or The Hood The Bad and The Ugly. Anything that i would watch with my dad really.
Alexander Barnes
This is my experience too. 10 hours for me is too much to handle (considering it feels like times slows down a lot for me, so it feels like a whole day).
Sometimes when tripping i want it too end sooner, not because i'm scared, it just gets a little too intense. Still feel like LSD is easier and a lot happier drug than shrooms. Had some dark times on shrooms a lot of times.
Josiah Davis
Is this from 1 use or regular use? Because it scares the shit out of me.
Jose Jackson
psychedelics can cause psychosis. there's a reason why they're illegal. i've done lsd a few times, no bad trips, and im not psychotic or mentally ill, but i'll never do them again because of the risks.
Gabriel Nelson
The ''under the tongue'' is a myth. The first 5-10 times I did acid i left it under the tongue for a long time - then swallowed. No difference what so ever than just swallowing it. It has a really high bioavailability, so just get it in the stomach to start with.
Juan White
Look up the dose and don't do it again in 2-3 month and you are good. Way better than drinking every weekend! (Close to no risk)
Ethan Anderson
This is me btw., done LSD 50+ times, shrooms about 10-15 times and MDMA about 15 times. Ama.
William Walker
psychedelics can cause psychosis in people who are already predisposed to mental illness. There's little risk if you are mentally stable, the problem is most people don't show signs of mental illness until later in life
Brody Phillips
I'm thinking doing them on solstices would be a good idea.
Christopher Sanchez
This is very much true I have seen one of my friends doing a lot of shrooms in a period of his life. Now he lives alone with his dog, sees no family or friends, not even on holidays. Get groceries delivered to his house. Home 99% of the time... Very sad indead.
Adam Sullivan
True. It "can". But more introverted types can draw on their strength and somewhat "mold the trip". Extroverted types get thrown off by all the extra sensory input and newfound sense of holiness.
IME. As long as you have a benzo, you have an escape option that works, in 15-30 minutes, and brings you back to a far more sober state.
It also helps if you have an attitude that doesn't put the trip on a pedestal. You're unlikely to uncover the secret of God or Buddha in the trip, let alone on this Earth. But you can accept the procession of images as just another veil of Maya.
Also have a couple of magnesium tablets to bring down the shakes. If you have magnesium soft chewy candy form and you end up eating it all....
One day I woke up to find I literally shat myself because I ate all the magnesium candies. Never make that mistake. Only a couple (if in soft chewable form).
