hehe... But yea, that is one uber informative site regarding all drugs. I've been frequenting it since the late 90's and I still haven't gone through everything. The user-experiences are fun reads as well.

i like going through the alcohol section...it is always a bunch of little kids that are trying to describe it as if it was a holy dmt experience. it always ends with "and then i lost my balance and broke a table". cracks me up every time.

I have not explored that area yet, as my interest are more focused to things I havent had the opportunity to experience yet. ie Ketamine, Mescaline etc... most of my time is dedicated to those. I have my own experience for the rest which holds more truth than anyone will ever know.

All right, big decision time here...

Tomorrow I will (hopefully) be losing my "tripping balls" v-card and I was wondering if anybody had useful advice for a first-timer in said situation. I'm going in a fairly large group (8 people) and we're trying to do something fun (like see Avatar), I want to take the necessary precautions to make it an enjoyable shroomy adventure. Probably going to take sunglasses and a hoodie, any other suggestions out there?

Right well I wouldnt do anything that will put you out of your comfort zone the first time you trip so going to the cinema for me is a no no.

Are you comfortable with everyone of the 8 in that group. If your not then id suggest you pull back as any little thing could turn a beautiful expirience into the worst time of your life.

For me the best thing to do is go somewhere you are all comfortable, put some nice tunes on. Dunno what music your into but trippy 60's stuff has always done it for me. The Zombies odessey and Oracle is probably my faveourite album to listen to while tripping.

Smoke a big fat spliff before injesting the mushrooms as in my opinionm weed helpes nausea. Sit back relax and enjoy the ride.

Trust me you dont need to do anything 'fun' the trip will be more than enough to entertain your brain.

Have a good un, you will never look at the world the same again.

Well that's what my friend said, it might be somewhat overstimulating watching a movie, especially one like Avatar. Even so, I'd much rather have a bad trip and do something memorable instead of sitting on a couch listening to music, which I do pretty much on a nightly basis.

All the people going with are good friends, there's only one person (the guy who we got the supplies from) that I don't know really well, but I'd be comfortable tripping with him if he wants to be a part.

Obviously its up to you but trust me a night listening to music on mushrooms will be alot different than any other night.

Id say you have a much better chance of enjoying the trip that way as well as having a lesser chance of having a bad one which from expirience I can tell you is not summat youd want.

Very true. If all goes well you wont think your just on your couch anyways.

i like to go do stuff on shrooms. and i think avatar would be pretty great. make sure that if you are driving, someone on shrooms isnt at the wheel. i too smoke weed after taking them. then just do something familiar for the comeup. when it starts kicking for the first time its a bit unnerving. they take around 45m to hit i think.

i will relate to you my experiences just so you get an idea of what it can do exactly.

first time was with a small group (3 other guys) and we stayed in my brother's room the whole night. it didn't matter...everywhere i looked i saw something i wanted to look at. music was amazing. i had the biggest sense of euphoria i've ever felt. we also had a load of weed and i felt zero nausea. all in all, it was amazing and i would go into specifics about how it changed the way i see things but i think my next story is a bit more important.

i was set to do it again. since i had such a wonderful time the first time, i felt like that must be what it is like everytime. this is where this little bit of advice comes in: NEVER underestimate a psychedelic. the most scientific way to describe shrooms is that it totally removes your ego...so any situation you are not comfortable with will not have your ego there to rationalize and back you up. so my friends and i set up the same situation only added a couple more people. we started coming up and then BAM...my ex girlfriend decides to make an appearance. talk about not knowing what to do. i didn't want her to see me in a weird tripping balls kind of state so i tried everything i could to look sober. all my friends were just living it up so jealousy set in that i couldn't enjoy it. then they started looking at me like i was nuts for not acting the same way and i felt everyone judging me. then i started thinking about everything bad between me and my ex while she just sat there and stared at me. i felt like i was in hell and that it would never end. nothing can describe the torture i was feeling at that moment. all i wanted was for someone to ask me if i was ok so i could say no...i didn't feel comfortable just saying it and getting everyone else on a bad trip. my brother finally asked me and i was sooo relieved someone noticed my state that i started laughing my ass off and said "NO...I AM NOT ****ING OK...I HAVE TO GET THE **** OUT OF HERE". then i ran to my room...eventually my brother came in with some weed and i started to feel better and then the night got better. in hindsight, this experience seems more important than the good trip, but i wouldn't wish it on anyone's first time...it may scare you away from a great drug.

moral of the story is...at least on your first time...do it someplace familiar. i have done shrooms a lot since then and everytime i crave comfort and familiarity...at least eventually. and trust me it will feel like it is lasting forever.

more advice...if you feel a bad trip coming on...find a song that always makes you happy. i put on led zeppelin's the song remains the same and i felt like i was in heaven. and drink orange juice...the vitamins make the visuals go freakin NUTS.

happy tripping...sorry if this was long winded.
