Shrooms are probably the most fun/insightful drug ive ever taken. Yes, weed gets me to start thinking quite philosophically but when I have a couple grams of srooms, the world completely opens up for me. I begin to look at this world from a much broader prespective and it truly affects the way I now view life.
I would love to get into more detail but I don't have too much time now. If anyone is ever contemplating shrooms, I must say a few things. Make sure you're ready for it mentally. I know this sounds like something you can just brush off but really, make sure you are ready to experience things you have never even imagined.
Secondly, Start with a low dose and work your way up. Many of my friends were stupid when they first tried shrooms and took enough to scare them away on their first time.. this is not only stupid but will probably scare you enough that you may never want to try again. My first time I had 1.7 grams. This is a decent amount to get you some good effects while keeping you out of the really fucked up stuff.
If you are having second thoughts, start out with something like 1.3-1.5 grams.. although don't take this to be an exact measurement in anyway. Shrooms depend on so many factors it is often hard to estimate properly. Body weight, type of shroom, dry, wet, etc.
Thirdly, do some legitimate research before just going out and hoping for the best. I would say that being well informed will make you feel more comfortable and better your experience.
Anyway... im sure many of you knew all of this and im just on a vaked rant..
