Opinions - Things to do During a Mushroom Trip

[trident.]

swim doing mush on Thursday at a friends house, and wondering what anyone suggests bringing to keep entertained and stimulated thoughout the night

i'm thinking..

music (obviously)
a sketchbook and pencil crayons
waking life (movie)
guitar

any ideas?

[roisianna]

'Waking Life' - deffinately good choice, i watched that movie today it wud b so awesome and even more thought proving on shrooms! Also try 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.'


Try 'Jefferson Airplane' for music, i dunno but the guitar just sounds perfect when on shrooms. Other music = 'DJ Shadow,' 'Unkle' and 'Minnie Ripperton.'


A tube of 'Pringles' crisps - i swear takes on a life of its own!


Access to the outdoors - it's true what they all say being outside in nature on shrooms can't be beaten!


Don't worry about needing to provide stuff for entertainment, shrooms are so amazing you can just sit there and stare in a mirror or lay looking at the ceiling and be entertained for hours!

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT swim LIKE TO DO WHEN TRIPFACE "TRIP" IS GET A BLACK LIGHT AND SOME TIDE LAUNDRY DETERGINT AND PUT IT ON THE WALL AN SMEAR IT AROUNG IT PRETTY COOL LOOKS LIKE YOUR HANDS ARE GOING INTO THE WALL LOOKS KOOL TRY IT

[Gangabiss]

swim's got some shrooms on the way...they should be here tomorrow. I was
just wondering what you guys think he should prepare to make this trip
the most enjoyable?

Like food, drink, music etc.

he's only done shrooms 3 times before and absolutely loves them. The
first time was insane... he was in his own little world staring at the
patterns when closed his eyes and such.

he'll be doing it alone and will think he'll probably take about 30-40grams
of cubensis.... start off taking 15grams then work up in 10's every
half hour or so.

swim hasn't tripped in ages so he really wants to get the most he can out of this and make it enjoyable.

What do you suggest?

re:Gangabiss

I was playing with the idea of a small amount of alcohol before hand to open the oral pores and aid absorption. Not more then a shot, make sure to hold it in your mouth for a bit (least 30sec), maybe one more afterwards to rinse your mouth, don't get drunk though. Two shots (and a decent cup of water) should clear out before the tripp hits. Oh and you'll want to chew those mushrooms slowly for maximum sub-lingual absorption. Tequila and Mezcal, if you can't get Xtubentun, would be rather appropriate. I like a little bit of drink when the tripp is over to help induce sleep.

If you have the space, a dance floor can be all sorts of amazing, I rarely, don't dance during a tripp. Lighting and tripp toys are all the more fun when your dancing.

If your more magickally inclined, divinations are a superior diversion. Really any sort of worship, meditation, prayer or magick, I always start with a banishing/invocation, prayer to Xochipilli or Delirium, blessing of the sacrament. Puts me in a good state of mind.

Putting work and time into preparing, is IMO, the most effective assurance for a good time. I usually start planning a night a month ahead of time, clearing my schedule for a few days, getting supplies (art, food, new lights ect.). The week before I clean the house, do all the dishes and set up lights, select music, test sound system. The day of disconnect the phones, cover the clocks, switch on lighting and light candles, burn the insense, get everyone over, lock the door, and at that point I know the outside world has been secured, and what is going to occur is safe and I'm ready to tripp. It is pretty amazing, just before you start looking around and feeling half way there.

[geordie]

Seeka:

you should probably eat them raw but have a drink to wash them down with. i wouldnt drink tequila just feel the effect of the mushrooms by themselves. if your a regular smoker you'll probably enjoy smoking a bit of hash while high on the shrooms. the shroom high can be considered similar to that of LSD although shrooms are a bit more chaotic.

[turfshark_40]

If you want to take the edge off the taste of the mushrooms I find sticking them in a brownie or in a burger like you mentioned is a good way to go. Once I made a sandwich with two cookies and some ketchup, although I don't recommend it.

Second trip I ever did, I went to the park with one of my best friends.
It was a huge park and if anyone has a park local, go there at night
time and trip. Through the night we ended up naming different sections
of the park my mind, your mind and our mind. We first took a walk
through the forest section of my mind talking about trees and the
beauty of nature and about me, then we went into your mind which was
the pond that had 2 swans that we named you and me. Because it was your
mind, you was the swan in front. And whenever the swans ducked under
the water, they were searching in your mind, the swans followed us
around the pond which was really beautiful. Then we went through a
structured hedge garden and into the childrens play ground which became
our mind. We decided it was our mind because it was sctructured and we
work well together as a team. Then we took a magic ride on the elephant
and discussed such issues as the colour pink, and why spring was the
envy of all the other seasons. We topped the evening watching Princess
Monoke on the come down. I started the evening by eating my shrooms in
a peanut butter sandwhich. Parks at night come highly recommended by me
- especially if you're in groups.

Nice suggestion!

[BEEKSc1]

if you looking for things to do while tripping on psychedelics, i highly recommend nature!!! day trip!!!natural is beatiful. psychedelics come from nature. ying yang...


beeks' theroy of psychedelics and nature: the highly most successful way to ensure a posative experience while tripping onpsychedelics is to trip outside because various psychedelics (mainly tryptamines) are found in nature (lsa, mescaline, dmt, 5-meo-dmt, 4-ho-, psilocybin, etc.)


note: this is an addition to having a trip sitter, being isolated from others, being safe, etc. endnote.

[Hyperreal]

The best place to do mushrooms - or most drugs, for that matter - is at a party. Parties and drugs are made for each other, ad the worst thing that can happen when you're on mushrooms is to get bored. You need plenty of good people around you, the more the merrier.


I'm not that familiar with cubensis, but isn't 30-40g way too much?

[BEEKSc1]

really. i would never dream at a party. most ppl aren't educated ab drugs (psychedelics particularly so) and they would want to mess around with you. i strongly advice not doing boomers at a party if it is your first time. be with a couple of friends and who support you if your tripping bad, something you won't find at a party with million ppl.

[Muirner]

I dont think that i'd ever be tripping balls with mushies at a party reasons why:
- You look like Bambi your puples are the size of quarters
- When the trip goes away and then comes back like a kick to the face, you might just wanna sit and not have 14 billion ppl around.
- You might end up sitting and watching tv for hours


What does SWIM do when he is tripping, anything. He enjoys watching funny ass movies because he laughs so hard that all he remembers is laughin for hours at a time... being outside is intense go for a walk very fun just try to be around some other people who are tripping because it'll be a generally good time


Muirner

[elbow]

maybe do some art? drawing or make some collages from old magazines is
really fun, if you like that sort of thing. swimming is cool, too.
Parties can be fun if they are drug-consumption friendly with lots of
freaks and wierdos to bug out with, but drunks and tripping people
definitely do not mix well.

[William_Again]

thinking, that is the best thing to do when on any mind expanding
substance...solve all your problems and then figure out how to save the
world...it seems so easy on shrooms...

[BEEKSc1]

thinking... that funny you mention thinkingbecause swim was tripping on boomers hard last friday. he went to a friends apt and there were five ppl(three only tripping). swim ended up not really chilling with the others bc he laid down on a bed and just thought.


swim's brain was using the same process over and over again to acheive a mental feeling of inner serenity. swim had his first full psychedelic experience and was crying for a diration of the trip bc of how beautiful the trip was. the girls over atthe apt didn't know what to think. they thoughtswim was wiggin out on them, when in "reality," swim was only crying bc of the shere beauty of the experience.

"I dont think that i'd ever be tripping balls with mushies at a party"

"i strongly advice not doing boomers at a party if it is your first time. be with a couple of friends and who support you if your tripping bad"



I agree with you guys on this... if it was a big party with a lot of
people you don't really know (esp. if everyone isn't tripping), that
just sounds like a sensory overload waiting to happen - a chain
reaction of people freaking out could very easily form... Plus that
point that people may try to mess with your head. IMO,
introspective drugs like shrooms are best when done with a couple close
friends.

Introspexion is overrated. (I'm gonna start spelling all those 'ct' words with an 'x' instead; it looks so cool.) I don't find myself as interesting as the world-at-large. I think it would be somehow ungrateful of me to attend to myself so much. ('Ungrateful' isn't exactly the right word, butit's the best I can think of right now.)Y'know that voiceover at the beginning of Taxi Driver:"I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that one should become a person like other people." Great words.


What's more interesting than a party? A lot of people gathered together in one place, grooving off each other, coming together, bringing their introspectives out into the world-at-large, becoming!

introspection is overrated? thats a fairly strange statement.whats the point in knowing all about the world around you when you dont know who you are yourself?i understand where swiy is coming from but in reality.....being surrounded by loads of strange people who arent tripping is a ticket to bad trip city. mushrooms arent exactly a party drug....although swim has taken them at parties but only with friends and the majority of them were tripping too. mushrooms are introspective whether swiy thinks introspection is overrated or not.and swim believes its better to be in an introspective state around a few close friends as opposed to being surrounded by a load of pissed strangers. then again maybe swiy has a tougher head for tripping than swim....swim has a few friends like that.....and if thats the case then swim hopes swiy has a great fucking night.but swim is in agreement with Phungushead on this one.

[pooka]

swim thinks that the best is a mixture of all the good elements said.

nature
party
people
solitude

and in swim's humble opinion; psychedelic music.

swim is lucky to have lived the first trip in such a great environment. he had the chance to trip and trance with all the freaks around and also to pull himself into an introspective-meditative condition afterwards within his trip.

nobody bothers nobody from their deep trances even with a touch of a fingertip! only honest smiles when two people met glances!

[Phungushead]

"I think it would be somehow ungrateful of me to attend to myself so
much. ('Ungrateful' isn't exactly the right word, butit's the best I

LOL, the first word that comes to my mind would be "selfish"... not a word I'd like to use to describe myself, hehe.



Anyway, I see your point. If everyone was pretty understanding
and cool about it, that could make for some fun. I guess for me,
it would kind of depend on what kind of trip I was having... sometimes
I enjoy being with other people and sometimes I just want to be left
alone.



I guess it's just the paranoia I have that some idiot is going to mess things up...

[candykid22]

Im gonna be doing shrooms within the next cpl of days....I only live a block away from the beach...so we're thinking of doing them there. Has anyone every shroomed on the beach before..and is it a good idea since there's probly gonna be alot of ppl out? I live in San Diego, Ca... So theres usually ppl out and about but hopefully not that many during the week.


I also find that taking dried shrooms with chips and salsa covers the taste of the mushies...plus you only have to eat a little to get them down.

the beach... tripping. Changed my fucking life. I wasnt on shrooms tho. Those nasty ass c's. havent done em in a year after i heard about the blood thinner in themneway i took about 60 of them and im only about 125lbs. (dont take this many at once! space out the timings!) icarried a little fuzzy purse with the goods. I had an out of body experience for at least 3 hours. not just a beach. the indiana dunes, GIANT sand hills with foresty areas at the top. there i met an indian tribe and a beautiful indian daughter whose eyeschanged color every second of the day. I saw the shadow of my father looking down at me frome the stairs in my old house. the sun danced fiercely across the entire horizon. I was with 3 other people who took about 20 less than me. they had phone numbers of some of the people i had wandered to to meet. ant1 with a radio, i was there. I went up to a mother , took off her sunglasses and demanded that she was also tripping. the driver couldnt drive and we were stranded in hick ass darker than hell indiana with no direction toward chicago. ill never forget that beach or that fucking day. it permanently changed me

[Darling]

Dont miss the sunrise! You wont believe the colors!! Be with your friends!! Outdoors look at the plants! Indors catoons and finger paintting!

Have fun

[honeybunny]

if mushrooms are done in a senseful, proper way you are hardly able to do anything but sitting on your ass, noticing how the world as you know it collapses while shivering in profound, overwhelming ecstasy and happiness that takes place over every other thought, feeling or sensation you normaly would be able to feel in a similar situation. the point is that anything you do or dont do on mushrooms can be the greatest thing ever. while youre tripping, its in your own hands how you feel about something. as you arent a totaly dumb, you choose joy. at a certain point this joy becomes so overwhelming that you hardly have to do anything but exist to experience it.
you cant relate anymore to outside input. it just doesnt matter.
so dont waste your trips doing stuff that may look super trippy or concentrating on your super funney and colorful CEVS. just do whatever you want. whatever comes to your mind. do it. youll end up doing alot of diffrent, unrelated stuff that becomes more and more intense, till it peaks to the most euphoric rush possible. i have smoked crack, ived coke and snorted heroin. these drugs are said to be the most euphoric. for me, mushrooms beat them all with alot more "wholesomeness". the rush feels like youre supposed to feel it. like your mind waited all life for that special moment. some guy i know once said : "its like you figure out in about 10 seconds that humanity bullshitted each other about everything since the stone age!."


try to see it that way, and everything you do while tripping will be cool

[Forthesevenlakes]

^^thats interesting, what swiy says about the euphoria of mushrooms being the greatest. swim has used everything from crack, to heroin, to painkillers. but he still finds that the shroom euphoria surpasses any of these. it somehow feels more natural and "right" than the excitement of mdma, the lazy glow of oxycontin, or rush of a line of blow.

swim would reccomend for any trip to simply be outdoors with friends. it doesnt get any better than that for him. he feels like a natural drug should be used in a natural setting...as long as its a safe one, free of cops, mountain lions, steep ravines, or other natural predators of the hapless tripper.
