First Time on Shrooms, Any Advice?

So this Saturday two of my friends and I are going to try shrooms. It will be my and one of my friend's first times, but the other has eaten them before. He got them from one of his buddies who he has bought mushrooms from previously, so it's pretty trustworthy. He says it's great, so it's something me and my other buddy want to try out. Apparently they're in the form of a chocolate bar so it won't taste as bad, and we're going to start around 5:00 in the evening so we have some daylight to play around with. I took off work Saturday night (obviously) and don't have to be in on Sunday until 8:00 at night, so I think I'm allowing myself enough time to recouperate (anyone tell me if I'm wrong though).

I have a couple of questions, though, from others who have done shrooms before or who do them regularly. What should I expect for my first time? Is it like weed where the first time doesn't really have the strong effects that I'm anticipating? Should I do them on a full or empty stomach (I read that there is the potential for nausea)? Should I make it a point to keep hydrated, or should I just drink fluids normally? We're going to be in a safe, relaxed environment so I'm not really worried about that. What sorts of things should we do or avoid doing? My friend who has done shrooms before says that smoking weed during can help calm people down if they start to freak out, is this true and recommended? And how long should I expect the effects to last?

whooo hooooo have fun...................

Yeah, hopefully I will.

But does anyone have any answers to my questions?

It's kind of like asking what it's like to go to space... Someone could tell you, but you will never grasp it, until you go...
Just think, happy, lots of colors, nausea, etc..

What should you expect? Nothing

I personally had expectations my first time just because of the label "hallucinogen" but all predisposition of what you know are gone and you are "it".

Depending on the dosage(anything more than like .8g) you will feel the effects your first time. How much are you taking?

Empty stomach is preferable, but dont starve yourself, I usually eat 2-3 hours before dosing so I have energy. As for during the trip, no hunger is felt, but when you come down you will be hungry.

A hit or 2 of weed will take care of the nausea but I find there is no need to keep smoking as this seems kind of a waste to me. Mushes by themselves are good enough.

You might feel dry mouth so have some water. Your body will tell you when your thirsty.

For your first time you should probably avoid public places, but going to the park is always fun.

Personally I am not a huge fan of marijuana while tripping, as for calming people down I guess it could but it can just as easily go the other direction.

The effects will last about 5 hours give or take an hour depending on dosage. Good luck

Have a good time when you take them, be in a good mood and think happy!

Just have the mindset like "I'm about to have a bomb trip!" and you'll enjoy it.
Be safe and enjoy!

I usually dont eat for 3 hours before I trip. I always smoke weed as it gets rid of my stomach pain but it also enhances the trip alot. And I suggest you go find some woods and go walk around in them its awesome.

Unless you're like me. As in shrooms give me an intense body high, where it's hard to walk around... heh, usually I'm just planted on the couch for hours...

Man i haven`t done shrooms since the late 80`s. when i did i picked them my self in west broward county FLA. a very good buzz. ya gonna like it.
Q

Badass. Thanks for all the input everyone. I'm really excited about this experience. I'm a little nervous, but I know it's gonna be a blast so I'm not too worries. Can't wait!

well man shrooms are a different experience, i recommend smoking a good amount of weed to increase the shroom buzz, i find it also excelerates the process of the shrooms hitting you (that might just be me lol)...
i recommend eating 2-4 hours before, the less food in your stomach the quicker the shrooms will break down in your gut, the better u chew em up the quicker they digest.

fluids....drink whenever u feel like it i guess lol not like needing water on extasy

coming in a chocolate bar? lmao never heard of that, just throw them on top of a pizza...they dont even taste that bad lol
eat 2

effects? id eat 1.5 or 2 grams if i was u, good 6-8 hour buzz and usually takes 30 mins- 1 hour to kick in

hope that helps dude have fun
BLAZE

and do this, positivity= good trips
i recommend never doing shrooms if you arent sure or sketchin cause they will just make u sketch more lol

Hey man thanks for the rep! But yeah your gonna think ALOT about your surroundings and pretty much just society its awesome. I've learned alot just from shrooming. I may have missed it but do you know how much you are doing?

shrooms rock!!! but make sure you trust the source i ate some bad shrooms once and blacked out. to this day i am still scared of shrooms. but that was one time out of 20 - 25 and all the rest were wonderful. one time i argued with myself for what felt like 2 hours, i thought i was to big to fit in my bed but i knew i could because it was my bed. to make a long story short i ended up sleeping on the floor. lol

reminds me of my attempt to sleep on shrooms hahahaha
laid there for like 2 hours moving my legs, laying still was literally not possible for those 2 hours hahaha trippy night

yeah man this thread is making me want to shroom again.

This is what I was told when I did shrooms the first time. I cannot verify it.

I was told the Native Americans used to hold their pee for a few hours after dosing. Supposedly, the chemical that gets you high will leave your system quicker if you urinate shortly after dosing. I would say go in normally and pee before dosing. Then sip something to prevent dry-mouth and hold your pee as long as you can.

Again, I can't verify this claim, but it makes sense.

Thats really weird but may be true. I usually have a shroom trip of 4-6 hours. This last weekend it lasted no more than 2 hours, but i remember pissing on a bush ( I thought it was funny on shrooms) so that may be why it was so short. I usually dont use the washroom on shrooms.

i did a lot of shrooms for years (stopped after a while)

the first time experience for anyone i find has 2 problems, 1 is usually makes people sick, and 2 they usually dont know how much to do

put 2 shreeded grams into ginger tea, then you wont get sick, and it will hit you very fast so there is no fear of 'eating again'... also the high doesn't last as long, some people dont like this, but for a first time i usually tell people to do it like this

later man,
