There is also Salvia that can bring along altered states for meditation, which is why I had tried it. It was pretty nice if you use it for that reason and don't over do it. It's legal too.

Some of the other older drugs makes the radio speak like satan and the floor is waiting to eat you and stuff....It's even worse when your friend is hearing it all too...how long must you stay on the couch to be safe? When is the floor safe. If we step on it, it'll only suck us down to Hell.....T
The conversation went:
"You go first,"
"No you ."
"I'll give you 10 dollars if you do,"
"Ohhhhhh no, I'll be gone in the floor if I lose....Nooooo"
"But our food is on there, go get it."
LOL .......not a really cool thing. 🙁

With shrooms or otherwise, I never had a bad trip. I always prepped ahead of time (eg, all schoolwork done, made certain mental preps), stayed in familiar surroundings, and I sometimes took notes along the way, documenting my body's responses, perceptual changes, interesting thoughts/insights. Often I tripped alone: less distractions.

On the other hand, on "field trips," I'd be with fellow trippers.

What kind of shrooms did you usually do?

I've seen some of my schoolmates get high off of weed. Pretty ugly and funny sight.

A psilocybe type, affecting serotonin receptors (like LSD), but hardly the best tasting treat.

None aside from Caffeine and a bit of alcohol. Don't like alcohol, though. Don't actively drink it.

I only ever really knew where they came from. Like I'd walk into the shop and ask for 80 grams of Thais and Hawaiians, or whatever.

But the fact that it played on the serotonin certainly rings a bell. Probably the same type I had a bad ass bad trip on.

Maybe it would taste good in a cream of mushroom soup! eat

I always had them in coffee. Not very nice, considering I hate the taste of both mushrooms and coffee.

I used to put them in stuff like ice cream, but the problem then is that, at least imho, they loose potency. I normally just man up now, or drink them in tea (still gross, but you can put a pound of sugar into it if you want).

Salvia is cool. I have rolled like 2-3ish grams of the leaf into a paper and shared it with like 2 other people, and nobody caught, however, doing like 1 or 2 buckets (gravity bong) of the same leaf got me messed up like nothing else. I think it requires a really large toke, but I've only caught off it like that once. Joints of it normally only made colours more expressive.

Interesting, I've never thought of doing buckets with salvia, perhaps I'll try it some day.

When I tried it I was at a festival, so I could only really smoke it through joints and a makeshift bong.

fair enough. There has to be some trick to it, but like, ya, the one time I got high from it, I was totally disassociated from reality for like 5 minutes before I even realized I was messed up.

It didn't last very long, but like, the entire room I was in disappeared.

That sounds pretty cool.

I might invest in one of those salvia tincture things. I'd like to be able to have a sense of control over the dosage at first.

I've wanted to try acid for some time now.

ya, probably the best idea. Were I not in a really safe and comfortable place when I did it, it could have been really negative

As I remember it: after about 30 minutes, I'd get that jittery, quasi-queasy feeling, which weed smoothed out real well. After about an hour of that, the visuals came, these lasting for about 3 hours. From there I shifted into relaxed body mode, where I felt incredibly in touch with what was going on in and around me. This would last about 60-90 minutes.

Overall, they were always great trips, far less the commitment in time than LSD was.

Now because I used to correlate these experiences with meditation and lucid dreaming, one of the most profound insights I ever got from shrooms was this: "You don't need shrooms to experience this." That's when I started focusing more on med'n and LDing.

I never tried salvia, and at this point, I doubt I ever will.

chill:
Dosage is a big part of managing a good trip. Also, as inim mentioned, being in a safe and familiar place. Also, certain mental preparations help too.

Perhaps that's where I was going wrong with shrooms; I had a much higher dosage than that, much higher.

Yeah, especially if you start out that way. I started out low and worked my way up.

I don't know. A quarter ounce of shrooms make you feel real good 🙂

from my experience, I like acid better, even at lower doses. It just seems cleaner and I get way less gut rot.

didnt know caffeine was a drug
