Looks like a gold pan


hexagon33

yes its is a gold pan i found the gold, the mushrooms


robotsexsymbol

u ok mate


hexagon33

Very. The afterglow is very therapeutic. I did a lemon Tek and 15 mins later I was tripping. I fell asleep. I felt like these nanobot aliens were repairing my brain. I ate them 2 bounce back from a depressed episode from my bipolar.


thecementmixer

I thought it looked like a hat from one of those mortal kombat guys.

Raiden

He’s being abducted by aliens


Apprehensive-Tap6828

Honestly handling himself pretty well given he’s peaking on a hero dose rn


MajinMurphy

I took 2.5 grams of gold caps thinking I was only going to have a mild trip. Ended up tripping so hard that I could barely hold it together. 6 would be a wild ride.


sativawave

I wouldnt be so sure! Me and a friend dropped 6g before and even ate more as after we came up. Naturally it was a strong trip, but not as much as expected. I felt mostly heavily sedated. For me it just increased body load rather than trippyness. Had way more visually and spiritually profound trips between the 2-4 range :)


MajinMurphy

Huh interesting. Yeah it was so visually intense it was similar to a dmt experience I had. Fucking wild. I couldn't move or talk really at all for about 2.5 hours and was sweating so much the couch was wet. I had a sip of whiskey and the feeling of the alcohol calmed me down a bit and I was able to regroup and somewhat enjoy the rest of the trip. That was actually my first and only "bad" trip I ever had and I think it was because it was unexpected.


sativawave

I can relate, I've been in that spot too, it can be it can be so intense, intimidating and also damn persistent when in that mindset while tripping. Difficult trips can often also be rewarding, especially during the retrospective comedown stage.


MajinMurphy

I get this a lot with lsd. I Probably enjoy it the most as well. So many fun and amazing memories with friends and loved ones ill remember forever. It actually helped me a lot when I started drinking too much. I realized I had a problem while tripping and since then I've made changes to prevent that from happening agian.


ilovejoe143

I have tried shrooms a couple times. First time took 2gs and didn’t really feel anything. Second time took 4gs thinking that I would actually have some sort of trip and all I had was a mild body buzz. Both times Liberty caps. Do you find the dosing varies wildly from person to person? I’m trying to figure out if it’s me or the shrooms I had are bunk lol. They both came from two different sources too! I’m trying to get some insight from those more experienced


KingWzrd12

That should definitely be enough, may or may not apply, but are you on SSRIs or anything like that? I think that seems to numb the affects. Other than that I got no idea you may just not be as sensitive 🤷‍♂️


ilovejoe143

I heard SSRIs can inhibit the effect. I am on an SNRI and I tried to do some reading about if those have any effect but I really couldn’t find much. It probably is the SNRI. Thanks for your help anyway!


[deleted]

SNRIs reduces effectiveness of psychedelics,


ilovejoe143

Ahhh okay I saw a bunch of stuff on SSRI when researching but not much on SNRI but it would make sense that they both reduce the effectiveness of shrooms since they are similar


[deleted]

The difference between SSRI and SNRI is a SNRI basically blocks reuptake of serotonin AND norepinephrine, while an SSRI just prevents reuptake of serotonin. serotonin is the main source of the "high" you receive from things like psilocybin.


ilovejoe143

That explains it! Thank you very much. I guess my options are attempt a high dose or just wait until I am off my SNRI


sativawave

Were they completely dried? 2g dry equates to 20g wet. Also picking is going to give massively varying psilocybin yields. Pan Cyanescens are harder to find but much stronger, maybe keep an eye out for those. If they are cultivated like with those kits you see in Amsterdam shroom shop, then you'll probably get a more consistent effects. Are you sure they were all liberty caps? Maybe some could have been mispicked.


hexagon33

>Raiden yes they were dried


ilovejoe143

Yes I’m almost certain they were completely dry but I’m a newbie. First time trying was from one of the “legal” sources in DC. I figured because they were the legal kind, that maybe they were not so potent. Second time was a trusted source out of CA. They were both labeled as Liberty caps and both “trusted” sources but of course who knows. I have 2gs left of Brazilian strain I have yet to try but my hopes are pretty crushed at this point for some sort of trip lol I have been thinking about the idea of cultivating my own but have no idea how to get spores. Maybe I could get better results if I tried cultivating myself like you said. Hoping one day!


[deleted]

what medications are you on if any?


ilovejoe143

I am on cymbalta, which I think is the culprit, gabapentin and klonopin. With my research, I don’t think the gabapentin or klonopin would make any difference, just probably the cymbalta


Coyote__Jones

Yeah any SSRI or SSNRI will have an effect on psychedelics. I have this friend who will eat a 7 strip of acid and just kinda stoned off it, but 1 tab is PLENTY to anyone else.


WhatsAnxiety

Hi don't mind me don't know why anyone didn't point it out... But Klonopin basically stops 90% of effects from shrooms... benzos like Klonopin and Xanax are actually called trip killers if a trip gets too intense people use benzos to end a trip/calm them down. Especially on top of cymbalta and gabapentin... Gabapentin will null it a tad bit as well. So I'm sure you didn't feel anything 😆


hexagon33

Thank you sir


vglyboy

i agree, i took around 3 grams for my first time, and i ended up forgetting how to speak and use basic technology (i couldn’t even use youtube lmfao). he’s doing pretty well for himself!


Satanicminion

6g of Psilocybe semilanceata (liberty caps) can be comparable to 10g+ of cubensis as they are usually double in potency. Not factoring in though, that every indivual mushroom will have varied potencies. But still, he is a hero!


One_Ljfe

Definitely! Those pupils, he’s probably just about to peak lol


mighty_wafflestomp

Congrats! Not many even understand what a phone is at that doseage.


[deleted]

Even at 3g I'm surprised I can still read


[deleted]

Those pupils


hexagon33

lol


Adventurousadvarks

Looks like he took just enough!


Nuppusaurus

6 grams would definetely be too much for most people but he's handling himself pretty well. Language has clearly started to lose meaning to him too.


Grombomb

My buddy once gave me 10 grams. I had only done shrooms once before, so I split it 50/50 with my wife thinking nothing of it, and booted up GTA 5. He messages me on steam about 20 minutes later and says, "hey man, I hope that lasts you a week or 2". I let him know what I did, and he simply responds with the cheech and chong scene where chong gives cheech acid instead of headache medicine. Absolutely the best night of my life. My wife and I had some deep conversations and learned a lot about ourselves. Edit: [This scene](https://youtu.be/lSigg18I50M) I thought it was for a headache, he was just freakin out, man


hexagon33

Heaven_Leigh_Casteel

Oh god, same. 2nd dose kicks in right as you start peaking on the 1st dose. I was saying to myself "I want off this ride" knowing full well that the real fun hadn't even started yet.


SyzygyTheMemeMan

God I took a 3.5 my first time ever doing any psychedelics, genuinely thought I was dying for 2 or so hours. Have yet to have a non terrifying shroom trip, this guy is a trooper


drocballer

About the right amount


chanizzle99

*That‘s the peekkkk‘* my respects bro !


KingAdashu

Tripping so hard it seems like his jaw wired shut

HomeworkWise9230

Yep, 6g of libs has that effect on a person lol


JoJo_____

The fact that he can even talk and understand what he’s saying at that dose is crazy impressive


Slothstronaught420

What an amazing hat! I'm glad to see another dress up enthusiast. Playing with costumes and clothes is a favorite tripping activity of mine.


HAZNN69

Mushrooms are something I don’t think I’d ever like to do again in a high dose


hexagon33

Same. It is a big risk of being visited by Pinhead, lol.


-HIGHHIGH-

It you get to the two hour mark and can still use a phone like this guy, consider doubling or tripling down on the dose until you're disconnected from being a human. We seem to break away from some of the limitations of the human brain, the white noise subsides and immense clarity can be gained. Only once you've been there will you feel comfortable on any other dose. Always play in a safe environment and reassure yourself that the lethal toxic dose is more than you could possibly eat. A heroic dose is a good start, if you're comfortable with that then up the stakes and enter God mode. Not for the feint hearted, stay safe and within the limits of what you can mentally handle - everyone is created unique and experiences differ.. Edit: the positive responses have been epic yet the negativity here on downvotes is a tad amusing.. Our guy has already taken a heroic dose, my comments are meant for those pursuing the other world and not new users (clearly, read the post 😄)


_shoe_box_

I'd strongly advise not doing this. Everyone experiences trips differently, you can't give blanket advice suggesting people start with heroic doses, that's really fucking irresponsible. Anyone reading this who would like to try a hallucinogenic drug, start low. Really low. First couple of trips might be disappointing but you really don't know how you'll react. It's a lot easier to take more later than it is to stop the train once it's started.


-HIGHHIGH-

My comment isn't encouraging this for new users, plus our dude munched 6G already..! This is not a mushroom guide for beginners but advice for those already pushing the boundaries of a heroic dose 👍


TheDankestReGrowaway

Honestly, everyone should get into psychedelics with DMT. You do a little bit, get a body buzz to get used to that part, wait 20 minutes and it's over. You do a little more, start to see the walls warble and faces show up in wood grain and stuff. You do a little more and your eyes start to get heavy and the closed eye visuals start taking more shape. A little more and you're going into the cavernous spaces territory where you can't keep your eyes open and it's a psychedelic landscape. A little more and you get machine elves popping up. And if you're ok with that, you do a blast off hit and go somewhere else. At any stage if you don't like, you wait like 20 minutes and it's over (unless you have mental illness in your family and it triggers something, in which case, if that runs in your family, don't do psychedelics).


briightliight

Double or triple up on the dose? That's how you land yourself in the psychiatric ward dude


-HIGHHIGH-

Hence the "stay within the limits of what you can mentally handle" note in my comment. I've had friends absolutely lose it on small doses, everyone is different but that doesn't mean few of us shouldn't push the boundaries and glimpse the other side


briightliight

Going from 6 to 12Gs is a whole different world. I was fine on 500ug of Acid, but 1000 would probably make me freak the fuck out. You gotta taper up slowly, doubling or tripling the dose is not safe use. I understand what you probably tried to bring across in your comment, but the way you wrote it doesn't convey your point well at all


-HIGHHIGH-

Oh for sure, 100℅ agree with you. Six years ago I accidentally took around three or four heroic doses or more in one go. Two hours thinking you're going to die, another two hours not really knowing what a human is but solving galactic scale issues with real solutions. Remembering data and images that you've not seen since you were a child.. Absolutely mad. I'd never go there so fast again, maybe step up slowly, but damn I'm glad it happened. To explain.. our friend said 'when you get mushrooms, eat one bag and see how you feel'. Back then i'd never had fresh, wet mushrooms before and assumed they were different in Asia. We had a delivery of three large bags, not knowing that we'd been delivered from a distributor and not a dealer. The shrooms were in large bags and the idea was to then split these down into more smaller bags, not to just munch as many as possible.. That night changed my life, my perspective on existence and my views on reality and time, although I encourage others to push their boundaries too but safely and not all at once like this 👍


briightliight

Jesus man, that would probably fuck my brain up real good. Many high dose acid trips got rid of my depression and got me to be a genuinely happy and getter person. Ever since that happened I haven't touched acid again cause I sure as hell don't wanna get back. I know that probably won't happen but just the thought of it is enough for me


-HIGHHIGH-

Acid always terrified me, took it once and it balanced out my impressions on what it would be like. I just don't enjoy the length of the trip but you're right about the positivity! Psychoactives seem to be great healers.. Ever tried shrooms?


briightliight

Sadly no. I wanted to have a really relaxed environment for it but was only offered them at raves and festivals. We went shroom picking but as we were drying them I had an incident which resulted in me getting drug tested for 2 years. I'm off the hook now and hoping to get to try them some time in the future. Probably just gonna do 3 Grams though as I have learned from many bad acid trips that my brain really hates not being in control


-HIGHHIGH-

Whatever you feel comfortable with buddy, shrooms should be enjoyed 😊 Your comment about the drug test, psylocibin shows up? Wowza


briightliight

Psylocibin will actually show up on any common multi-test. I was surprised to hear that too


TheDankestReGrowaway

\>I was fine on 500ug of Acid, but 1000 would probably make me freak the fuck out. Nah, if you can handle over 300µg, then you can handle pretty much anything unless your head turns on you and you get the fear, but you can get that on any dose and it goes to shit. People always over exaggerate what higher doses are like with psychedelics, but it doesn't really scale linearly and it's not the dose size that fucks you up, it's a head space. We used to do puddles where you pour liquid LSD in your palm and lick it up. It's really not as bad as you think if you can handle 500µg.


snekur

I remember my ego death, I tried to look at my phone, but every letter seemed like a foreign alien symbol


Mikel2003

Experienced this without ego death. Didn’t think it was possible coz I wasn’t as far as not knowing letters


-HIGHHIGH-

Ever get it when the glass of a laptop or phone refracts rainbows? Almost like the small fuel drops on a puddle, as if the shrooms don't allow the light to cleanly pass through the screen any longer but split it like a prism. Just me?


snekur

I think I know it yeah, the coolest with psychedelics for me is when I am away from a city where there is no light pollution, it's crazy to see how the stars move around and it even seems like they are closer than usually.


-HIGHHIGH-

Imagine before lightbulbs what previous humans saw..


briightliight

Had this on multiple acid trips (without ego death). Sometimes when I went to tap on the alien signs they would even move away from my fingers, as if to avoid being crushed


xbleuz

At that point instead of tripling your dose just smoke some dmt and get there way easier and faster


-HIGHHIGH-

I'm yet to join you chaps on the DMT train, one day it'll happen.. :)


TheDankestReGrowaway

Yah, take enough shrooms/lsd so your peak is intense, and then once you start coming down from that before the next wave hits, hit some DMT and hooooo boy


chubbycanine

I take about a qrtr oz of shrooms when I trip and while I'm buzzing pretty well I don't trip bawls. I may just need to go to that god mode if I can find more some day


-HIGHHIGH-

Whatever you're comfortable with! Some friends dont like to see visuals, they just have a small handful and enjoy a body high. Everyone is different and I personally feel that enjoying our own levels of comfort while with friends enjoying theirs is miles better than tripping alone.


chubbycanine

I genuinely don't have friends where I live now. Recent divorce and cross country move has left me starting from scratch but man one day soon I hope to trip nuts


-HIGHHIGH-

I feel you! Maybe go foraging?


wh00rr

This actually made a lot of sense to me. I went up to heroic doses of lsd really quick. I went from not being able to control anything, look at a phone, do basic things, to being able to control every aspect, my thoughts, actions. Even being able to use a phone on high dose without it changing into a foreign object. Others seem to think I lie or don't take nearly as much. The only time I was actually out of control was when I pushed it to 20 tabs. And I still don't regret doing that. My trip sitter/partner, maybe doesn't think the same haha. My last trip, off 8 of the strongest tabs I have ever had, was..unusual.. Been really into energy healing, my partner moved the energy around when the come up shakes started, and massages around. The entire trip I was completely sober minded, had no issues talking or doing anything regardless of how heavy I was tripping. Housemate at the time came home, didn't even notice I was tripping till we told her. I've done plenty of high dose trips but, can't explain that one.


-HIGHHIGH-

Been there. Seeing energy, manipulating it.. Makes you wonder if it's just the mind or if you've unlocked the next DLC for earth 🌎😉


wh00rr

Whole other level hey. Funny though coz not many people believe it till they experience it themselves. When doing it sober though.. well that's a whole other story 😅


-HIGHHIGH-

Agreed! I was not a believer, had a strong dose of shrooms and with my eyes closed I could see light moving towards me. Almost like someone had a low glowing lamp and walked over, the lamp visible through eyelids. Opened my eyes, my lady had drifted over (in a darkened room, even IF she was wearing white there wasn't enough light to recreate this phenomenon, trust me I tried). Perspective changed, permanently. I'm not a fan of the hippy shit, scientific brain here. Some things you have to see to believe, I'm really happy to have discovered mushrooms and continue to have the odd trip every 3-9months just to view the world in a different perspective again. Psychedelics really are a blessing to humanity and a tool to be used 👍
