I ate quite a bit of mushrooms last night. Loads of fun. Very clean and I didn't do anything too stupid.. well, we went swimming.. I just have a question..

how long should one wait before taking mushrooms again? a few days? Weeks? Months? With acid, I know I seem like I have to wait about 3-4 days before I recover. Anyone have any advise?

i didn't find anything that warned against taking mushrooms multiple days in a row, but it would be good to give your body a bit of a rest, maybe a day inbetween each trip.

i agree with sean. generally speaking, it's a good idea to wait just to chill the bod out...but for example i ate lots and lots of mushrooms for a few days straight while i was in amsterdam (basically tripping the entire time i was there and not sleeping), and nothing (that i can tell at least) bad happened.

does anyone know about shrooms showing up in urine tests?

also what is the best dose and how much should you pay for each?

and what are the adverse affects, if any?

thx.

Mushrooms should not show up in drug test.

A normal dose is usually anywhere from 1g-2g depending on your tolerance. That will usually run you from about 10-25$.

uhhh....wrong dude

Psilocybin will show up in a urine test (if they test for it)

like Sues said, 1-2 grams will get you pretty silly if it's good stuff and you don't have a tolerance

Standard NIDA 5 drug tests will not show Psilocybin. They would have to take an additional test which harly anybody does. Most employers (is that is what you are worried about) will only take the normal NIDA5 urine test. Blood tests and Hair folicle tests will only used by employers in very rare occasions and usually only when it is a a very important possition.

I took 3 grams once..And it was almost entirely too intense.. I still had fun, despite the inability to form a correct sentence..Haha.

I would recommend a dose of about 2 grams..

Milo likes to watch me snack on mushrooms.

Milo: Are those mushrooms?

Mikey: Yea.

Milo: You are eating a lot.

Mikey: Am I? OH FUCK! I JUST ATE WAY TOO MANY MUSHROOMS!

Thanks for help guys.. erowid.org is a great site, but as big as it is, it can sometimes be lacking.. none the less.. no more mushrooms for me this week.. ugh..

Anyone ever do large amounts for an extended amount of time? Like 3-5 days? Maybe take a break durning the day, then eat a bunch that night.. if so.. what were some of the side effects.. aside from being tired?

does any one no about mushrooms showing up in military drug testing?

i ate 3 grams of mexican, then when that wore off 3 more of thai, then when that wore off i slept for a few hours, then i ate 120 wet grams (approx 12 grams if you figure a mushroom is 90% water...don't know how accurate that is - in any event is was very intense to say the least) of thai, then slept some, then ate like 3 more grams of 'philosopher's stones' (i forget the strain) a few hours after i woke up.

i was fine, but the guy at the smart shop freaked out when i told him i ate that 120 wet grams. this was also after i was very experienced, not just off the bat. everything was sorta surreal for a few days after, but i think that's to be expected, and also has a lot to do with your mindset anyway imo.

andy

usually a tolerance wont build with mushrooms... multiple days in a row is only good if you have nothing to do and a day or two to recover... and an adequate supply of beer... it always helps... most importantly be safe (not saying you werent safe) and make sure your head stays on your shoulders

Alcohol is a must for comedowns and day-afters :)

And i dont know where you are getting your mushrooms, but 25 dollars for 2 grams? JEEBUS! That mushroom better come with a blowjob! More like 14-16 for 2 grams.

one word..

damn.

it was like an ounce for 60$? I don't remember.. I just know that the three of us ate almost the whole bag.. they might have been kinda weak.. but not the less..loads of fun.

well the shrooms i usually get... much better then blowjob.. especially for $10 a gram... and you know your dick isnt gonna fall off... getting blown off isnt the best thing in the world... there are dancing tiles of color on the wall

I have a hell of a time finding these damn things anymore. 1 or 2 caps usually do me just fine. I've also found a very soothing ecstacy like feeling the last time i took mushrooms, almost made me fall asleep. It's been at least 2 or 3 years since I've tried any. good stuff.

Mushrooms

yes... an average dose is 1-2 grams and as far as pricing goes I have seen ounces here go for $200+ (which I don't care if it is because of the region it is still a rip off) though in New Mexico, an ounce of mushrooms will cost you $50. Doses are just as bad. What should be 5-10 dollars is going to be 20-30. Like I said before, I don't care if it is price and demand, it is too expensive.

If you consistantly take mushrooms you are going to go crazy depending on your own mind of course. It doesn't seem that way, but everytime you trip you wipe your ass with your brain. You will begin to break out all over your face and have nasty, unhealthy skin. You will be prone to illness, and all sorts of bad stuff dealing with your digestion track.

In my opinion: LSD, mescaline, MDA, Psilocybin, or whatever it is, is going to be the same trip with the same damaging psychological effects.

While I am not particularly a fan of hallucinogens, I would have to disagree Dom. I think that statement is biased according to your own, perhaps negative, experiences. A person is not in any way guaranteed to "go crazy" from hallucinogen use. However, if a person already has an underlying condition, drugs can indeed bring this out. In addition, your health will not decline from hallucinogen use unless you are not taking care of your body - a given, and true for anything. A person who takes pretty good care of themself will not break out, get sick more, or have digestion problems from hallucinogen use. In regards to your second statement, from my experience, I feel that some people are "good" at tripping, while others, such as myself, are not. A hallucinogenic experience does not have to result in damaging psychological effects. This will dewpend entirely on the person, the setting, the dose, and the individual situation. Everyone reacts differently to drugs, and I don't think you can characterize all hallucinogens together like that. I've used all of what you listed, and find them all to be GREATLY different.

ive taken mushrooms, lsd, xtc, and meth for weeks at a time.
and look at me.
im a picture of health.

like popcorn!

This isn't just based off of myself, it is based off of what I see in others. Example: I have a friend who has eaten shrooms twice, and though you may disagree with me about this, and I know that he isn't CRAZY, he like others who have taken them have had their thought processes altered in some way. It is so subtle of a change and makes it hard to recognize personality changes, but it happens to everyone. Every person I know that has used a hallucinogen has been changed. For anyone that wants to try it I tell them not to. The experience isn't worth the damage that can come out of it.

I agree that a hallucinogen experience changes a person's perspective, but I do not believe it changes the person. Perhaps your friend was just not prepared for the experience. I think it is unfair to encourage people not to try it. I understand that as a good friend, you are trying to take care of your buddies, but perhaps it might be better to simply express your concerns and tell them to be careful. Everyone responds differently to different drugs, and no two people are going to have the same trip.

i don't think change equates to brain damage. all the intelligent people i know that have tried hallucinogens have learned something from the experience(s). i think the most significant change is that fact that it helps most people realize that their paradigm is not the only valid one in existence, something i think more people need to be aware of.
