Effects - No Effect from Mushrooms?

[soer]

this goes to show you that shrooms are diff from person to person..


i ate a half eighth of dried shrooms. i felt anxious after 30 mins . other ppl that had eaten them ate a whole eighth and said they were trippin . i wasnt. by T3 and for the rest of the day i was feeling really depressed.


i never tripped.. next time ill eat more

I do not know if the situation described hereunder is the case, but I feel this is a important subject:


Did you have a "I do not feel anything" trip? If so, you did not notice that you where tripping, because you where full on your mental breaks. You where suppressing the trip. The next time try to relax and go with the flow, so to say. That will do more good than a higher dose. A combination of suppressing the trip with a dose thats high enough to push trough anyway, is the standard recepy for a bad trip. Not per sé.

[soer]

i was fully embracing the idea of tripping although believing fully that i wasnt.. ill take that into acct next time w the higher dosage, thanks

[Insane Asian]

smoke some grits it makes the trip so much better and it helps kick it in too

[intrepid]

ok, so yesterday i got 1/8 of dried shrooms, i've been getting these
same kind for a while now, but anyways, today i proceeded to eat them
over the course of about an hour. . . now about 5 hours later, i've
still only got threshold effects . . . i've gotten really fucked up off
these same shrooms before and i'm on an empty stomach, any idea what
the deal is?

[Zandorf]

you might have built up a tolerance, when's the last time you took a tryptamine?



if it was less that 4-5 days ago its very possible that your tryptamine tolerance was too high to trip from your mushrooms

it's been a while, since i last did shrooms, bout a month, and i've not done any other tryptamines recently either.

[Alfa]

Medication or other psychedelics? Otherwise it may be possible that these shrooms where to old or have been stored under non optimal conditions.

[intrepid]

hmm, now that i think about it, i do havea script for adderall
which i take, including this morning, but do you think it'd abort the
trip?

SWIM just came accross a couple bags of mush, paid top dollar.. was informed that they were "killer shit" SWIM hasn't tried them, but 'gave' half an ounce too a couple mushroom enthusists. when i talked to them the next day they said nothing happened... the mush looks good, has alot of caps.. can you sometimes take them and feel no effects? or did SWIM get taken..

[spores101]

sometimes if you eat a huge dinner and drink too much alcohol mushrooms will have no effect. That's just my experience.

[HpVampiress]

Or if the person taking them has been on antidepressants...

[podge]

Half ounce dried or fresh ? If dried then most likely bunk. If fresh they mighnt have had a big enough dose depending on the strain. Most strains swim encountered require 10 - 20 g's fresh per dose. 14 grams fresh between 2 may not have been enough.

It all depends on the account of if it's ripe and fresh, or dirty and old. The new ones are harder to find, but they work really well, the old ones, taste a bit bitter, and have a glimpse of effect, it depends on whether or not it's fresh. To tell if there fresh go check on Google and search " Fresh Shrooms" if you're shrooms match that image then there at most fresh, if not then there not.

[augentier]

What Ace said is the biggest pile of shit I've heard lately..pay him no mind.


The others are right, most likely those shrooms were bunk because most people sell dried shrooms, which would have had effects had they been legit.

[Shampoo]

Perhaps ACE was referring to the degradation of Psilocin over extended exposure to gas exchange and high temperatures, resulting in a high Baeocystin and analogoues content which could lessen or alter the intoxication (in the normal lifetime of a mushroom from drying to consumption there will likely be little if any noticeable degradation, however eating some mushrooms you grew when you were 13 to celebrate your 60th birthday party may be disappointing.)

Overhandling mushrooms can result in a decrease of psilocybin content as a result dephosphorylation bruising. The signs of this bruising and degradation usually receded fully by the completion of drying time and would be hard to detect, even by an experienced mushroom frequenter.

SWIM bought an 1/8th of mushrooms a couple weeks ago and the dealer said they were Liberty caps. SWIM has heard that Libs were quite potent so he was exited. He split it with a friend and they each had 1/16, a dose they had both never exceeded. He got the familiar feelings of coming up, but he never went into a full trip. His friend, on the other hand, said that he had a good trip, although not as good as past trips.

The most SWIM got out of it was a mild body high, but he has taken 1/16th of cubensis before and had a much stronger trip. Is it possible they were just a bad batch?

[chillinwill]

A different batch can contain different potencies and strengths of psilocybin and psilocin which can vary widely from batch to batch. This was probably the cause of 1/16 not producing a strong trip like before.

There is no possible way to determine species from an experience report. NO POSSIBLE WAY.

Don't use the internet to identify mushrooms in general.

[metaller]

SWIM took 1.5 grams dried Ecuadorian mushrooms the other day. Apparently their source said that 1 gram would be roughly the equivalent intensity of a 100 microgram LSD trip. They were consumed on an empty stomach and in a beautiful natural environment.
However, no visual or auditory disturbances were noted. Was this to do with the size of the dose, the quality of the mushrooms, or some other reason?

[Richi]

The source is bullshit. Although comparable, LSD is qualitatively different than mushrooms. Nonetheless, a 'similar' trip would take many grams of dried mushrooms.

Ecuadorian is a sub-strain of psilocybe cubensis, and all psilocybe cubensis mushrooms have roughly the same potency. They are the same species.

If absolutely nothing was felt from 1g dried mush, they were either bunk, or your tolerance is high. One might say to wait 48 hours, try 3g and see then.
