Ate 6 grams over the weekend

[canndo]

It was time. I needed some serious guidence on a number of issues and a rather large dose should have done the trick. Colors, cartoonishness, an extreme serenity but NO guidence, no instruction, I was played with, carressed, and almost felt guilty for the joy. Now, strangely, I feel insulted, how dare the mushroom ignore my expectations of a serious, solemn, reflectionary excursion. I am left feeling as though I missed something, strangely incomplete. If I had wanted a simplme extatic experience I would have loved it and I suppose at the time I did.

Anyone ever have this happen? get essential passed by?

Shoulda ate lsd..I'm just saying..there's ALLWAYS a reflection perion on acid..
Perhaps the shrooms were not at their peak ripeness/freshness?

 

[MrEDuck]

Rough man. I haven't had the experience. Usually for me it's that I want to think about one thing but end up thinking about something else.

I always just take them for the ride. It reassures my brain of the beauty left in the world. Its not all gone to shit yet! haha. Cheers me up and makes me think of things differently for a few months.

They worked as they always do, nothing different, they arn't fresh but they are stored properly and always have been. I think I'll wait a week or two and bump the dose to 8 - that is about as far as I am willing to go at this stage of my life.

Maybe the mushis gave you what you needed not wanted..8g will be a doozy regardless tho

It happens.. Six grams should've done it though. Interesting, psychedelics..
Maybe it tried to teach you that they can't solve existentialism and you need to do something exterior?

I know that psychedelics, especially mushrooms, kick me right where it hurts. Whether it be heaven or hell that I experience, or even neutral, I always come out ripe as a peach.

The older I get the less spirtutial psycs seem to be .

I thing I find can help is fasting (actual fasting just water)

Putting yourself thru a painfull experiance , like running with a 1/2 full water jug on your back for farther than you could/would normally go / fast long enouth it will be painfull

I have a buddy and he allways trys for some crazy trip on shrooms and allways dissapoints himself..he allways goes with the 'mckenna 5 dried grams'..and he never gets where he wants to go..the whole time of course I'm in the background telling him eat a half ounce and it'll be fun..idk..perhaps subliminaly when one doesn't want to see,they wont..

Well, I sure as hell don't want to see, that was the point of the excercise.

The most insightful ones are often surprise trips, expectations can keep shit from happening i feel like

 

[rory420420]

I allways have good times when I just take alot(and don't care)...if the bag of shooms gets passed my way,I eat till I feel ill trip,usually its allways weak shrooms so I start with a gram to get the feel of them in case they are the eww whee..occasionally,you get the ewww whee..I'm tired of occasional(or nothing)...
What type did you eat canndo?

 

[canndo]

Amazonian, , same ones I've been eating for years, they worked exactly the same, it was not that they were weak, only that such a dose didn't do anything but entertain. The small doses are entertainment for me, no more than 3 grams, usually less, augmentation of some other activity.

my experience with mushrooms is that you never go into a trip with predetermined expectations, because you never seem to meet your own expectations, and are left disappointed. Probably the best trip I had was a friend who gave me a call outta the blue (another friend wanted to trip, he hadn't in awhile)asked my buddy with me if he was doing anything..nope, an hr and a half later we were all chowin down, nothing planned, no expectations. a fun night of things unfolding naturally as they should

You're not listening hard enough it sounds like. It never occurred to me that she would ever stop talking. I have a feeling she doesn't.

In some place in the universe at any given time, she is probably talking to somebody somewhere and showing them. Must be other worlds that have been visited by mushroom spores surely.

You know some of my greatest experiences of my entire up to this point have been on 2 grams....

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Just like the 2 gram mushroom trips, some of the most spiritual experiences ever have occurred on either a juice fast or water fast. You can't recreate that type of sober, crisp feeling of bliss. "Sober" and "crisp" as the keywords.

Mine, however is the opposite. I dwell on my confusion, let the ideas or objections or fears roll round in my head for a while, then take the mushrooms, somewhere at the end I get clarity and direction. This was just like walking out of Disneyland in the evening - the final fireworks, the car alarms going off - trying to remember if you parked at Mickey AA or Pluto AC. Great day but no answers.

 

[Stimpy and Ren]

A great day sounds like the answer to me
