I just got my truffles from trufflemagic. They arived in a plain whiter paper envelope with no return address in 5 days including Sunday, SUPER FAST shipping.

I only have one problem, they aren't labeled lol. I ordered 3 packs of hollandia and 1 pack of mexicana.

I was going to split the mexicana with my GF, 7.5g each for our 1st trips. One bag has larger chunkier pieces, hopefully thats the mexicana.

Were getting prepped for our "magical" evening now. Got the living room spotless, have 2 movies (Green lantern and Madagascar 3), we should feel safe and comfortable in our very familiar living room. Going to go pick up pizza for dinner and eat 2-3 slices an hour before we plan on taking the truffles. Well have a gallon of un-sweetened tea on hand to keep hydrated. Both of us have a positive mindset and are looking forward to the experience. Were going to thoroughly chew our portion's with a piece of chocolate to mask the taste and wash it down with a bottle of water. For a little piece of mind we have home made "stoppers" ready.

There's some debate over vitamin C, and its effects on a trip. While some swear by it to increase visuals, others recommend using it to abort a bad trip. We made "stoppers" by pouring a pouch of Emergen-C powder into bottled water. If worse comes to worse one or both of us will drink the water and eat a snickers bar since sugar is supposed to help as well. We both understand to just go with the flow and enjoy the experience, but its nice in the back of your mind to have an escape plan. Even if it is probably just a placebo.

The plan is to eat at 6 PM and dose at 7 PM. Were both off work tomorrow, so we can sleep in if it becomes a late night.

Ill report back periodically during the night if I feel up to it, otherwise ill report back tomorrow.

You aren't going to avoid a bad trip with vitamine C.

You are best eating them on an empty stomach, it is a more predictable thing. I have known people to eat large doses of truffles on a full stomach, wait an hour, figure that they are weak and eat more - much to their chagrin, 10 minutes after eating their second dose, they began to feel the first. It is wise at least for the first few times to be able to predict the timing.

Oh, odds are that the p. mexicana are the smaller ones, they should be brown, perhaps redish brown if I recall. I have never seen Hollandia nor have I heard of it before this thread. Could it be a coopted strain of something else?

And, good luck. I wouldn't have planned movies but that is just me, I have an aversion to taking a hallucinogenic and then entertaining a thought of having some huge corporation distract me with it's idea of entertainment. For me, the simple things are the best, a box of jenga sticks, a couple of coffee table books, a plan to walk somewhere, light sticks, various fresh bits of food, some collection of fragrant items, things that jolt your senses in a more simple way.

oh, if they ARE mexicana, 7.5 grams might be quite a ride. Remember that mexicana has a different composition and are inherently much more powerful than p. cubensis - but also remember that truffles lose their magic quickly and ALSO remember that they have a different ratio of water to solid matter.

mushroom = 91 percent water
truffle = 70 percent water

So you have more dried material with the truffle. Now, if you ask me what the result of this information is, I can't tell you, the mexicana is stronger fresh but not nearly as strong when compared to fresh. Cubensis is somewhat the opposite.


Does that make any sense at all? cause it doesn't to me.

Have a good ride man!
I agree with Canndo, movies are not my idea of a good time. They're fun to pass the time during a come up but once I'm tripping I don't really care if there's a TV on. Unless it's Fear and Loathing. It's like they're tripping with you. And Terry Gilliam claims he has never tripped.

Well we just downed them, not too bad. A little sour though. The movies are just something we would normally do. I wanted to do something familiar tonight.

I always preferred to be outdoors in nature when tripping on a shrooms.. something magical about shrooms and nature ime..
Incredible time to be tripping outdoors as well if you live say in the north east with all the foioage changing colors, leaves dropping, etc, etc.

Familiar.... hmmmm.


the first time I gave my wife mushrooms (that was a condition of our staying together btw), I set up some music that was easily changeable but tunes that we normaly didn't listen to - for the novelty. And then I gave her play dough, different colors and an extrusion machine. THAT was what we did during the come up. I gave her about 5 grams of.... ahem.... t h e r e a l t h i n g. after all, I was courting her. I bought 5 different cheeses and 4 different kinds of crab, prepared it all on different colored plates along with a variety of sweet wines and a few beers. OF course everything stopped at a certain point when the cottage cheese ceiling and the carpet began demanding her attention (mine was always on her). after the initial big rush I took her for a walk to a hard ware store that sold predominantly outdoor lighting, which had a huge selection of their fixtures lit up on display (of course this was after hours). It looked like a wonderland, we hopped the fence and wondered.

Finally, I took her within about two hundred yards of a convenience store, set back from the road and all alone. I gave her a 5 and told her to go into the store and purchase some cheetos and a box of cookies while I waited, that two hundred yards away. She was frightened but I told her that she had to know early on that no one could possibly imagine that she was high at all and that if she could accomplish this, she could do pretty much anything under the influence. Of course she succeeded and counts that as one of her most powerful accomplishments.

I imagine that a computer screen is holding less and less fascination for ADHD and friends about now. Strange, I can feel some of the energy even as I type this.

I agree with that one. Best trips I have ever had were camping and having the *stars over you. A little background chill music and its off to outer space.

about a week ago I ate 7 grams dried cubensis about three hours in I noticed my computer was open to rollitup but I could not distinguish a single word at that point everything was hieroglyphic ancient writing rotating in those funny ways around the screen....

I would have to agree with you
