:BibleThump: I wish to thank @happybadger @ItalianMessiah and countless others for their words of wisdom. It took my dumbass 3 months to get this done, never mind my previous failed attempts.

Does this flush look sad and pathetic? I have no idea, but these shroomies are mine and I am filled with hope that their potency can help me reach communism.

    oh, no, i'm a complete coward. i just don't know anything about the "risks" of what a normal starting dose would do so i've got to be psychologically prepared for the most radical possible outcome.

      It's good to be prepared, and difficult experiences are definitely always possible, but if you start small and are in a good place psychologically, you'll probably have a great time! Low doses of mushrooms are very very fun, and if you're in a comfortable place, you run relatively little risk of having a hard time. Just like with any new drug, start low and work your way up. Enjoy!

      I would recommend taking maybe 2.5g the first go. Will likely just give you a solid body high and some minor visualizations, I had a pretty good hook on them for a while and would eat a low/medium dose about once a week.

      “Difficult,” “scary,” and “unpleasant” experiences in the moment on psychedelics aren’t necessarily regrettable in my experience; I feel that these periods during some of my trips produced by far the most profoundly insightful breakthroughs and I consider them to be therefore worth it.

          Yeah. I did two tabs the first time on psychedelics which kinda pushed me over the edge into abject horror and harrowing ordeal. Didn’t help that I’m a bit agoraphobic and socially-anxious and I did it at Coachella (way back in the day). But at the end of the day(s) I looked back very fondly on all of it. I suppose by that time I had done a decent amount of uppers and downers and empathogens, though, so the altered state in general wasn’t wholly uncharted.

          Then again my girlfriend was not happy with a sensory deprivation chamber in terms of trippiness, and hasn’t even really smoked weed… she asked to do mushrooms but seems like a… not so good idea.
