Ok I found the best way to eat shrooms,(freeze dried) It's a little hardcore but found it kicks the trip of faster and harder and you can eat far less.
Instead of chewing and swallowing. .. you chew them up and store the chewed paste under your tongue or between lip and gum, like some tobacco chew. Let it sit and absorb into your blood stream from your mouth for a good 10 to 15 mins. Then I'd normally swallow them down with some sort of liquid... pop or juice. Then I'd repeat the process until... zooow ... a big mouth full still and I'm already seeing visuals.
I once ate a quarter ounce with this method and tripped soo insanely hard. The trip was spoiled early on when my friend and I (he ate as much as me, same method) went to a friends house and he was having a insane fight with his girlfriend over the phone. At first I couldn't stop laughing, then I forgot why my friend was yelling across the phone. Bad vibe city. I begun to have terrible thoughts and lost my shit over the course of the day. I almost jumped from another friends moving car when he decided the best place for me was my own bed under the covers (and it was). Luckily my friends in the back seat held me from jumping out while my friend driving slammed the brakes. Once he stopped I exited the car and took off into the woods totally conviced everyone wanted to kill me. Paranoia city. They chased me and tried to convice me to come out from hiding but I knew their true agenda. Coo coo caak choo.
I've had too many bad experiences with hallucinations. Mostly mushrooms. I once ate an 8th of some fat freeze dried shroomies at church. Holy fuck. Bad news again. If anyone would like that story... I'll post... but for now.. I'm go smoke and eat smoke chetos or something.
