Hey Nexians,
I was given 7grams of shrooms by a friend and it is my first time. I have experienced acid(2 tabs takes me over the top approx 200mics), DMT, Pharma and changa. I am going to go on a nature trail and enjoy these mushies... Any advice on dosage, recommendations, methods of intake and precautions would be appreciated. I am excited to enjoy the fall colors with mushies.

7G seems like an awful lot for your first time with them, I think you should consider doing half of that, an 1/8th is a really good starter dose to get the feel for them. That might be about on par with your acid experience. Then you'll still have an 1/8th for later. In my experience, there is a lot more mental confusion and "mindf**k" with mushrooms. On acid I was usually relatively clear headed, I generally knew who and where I was, and understood why the walls were melting. Even a relatively small amount of shrooms can throw all that right out the window. IMO 7G could actually be dangerous for the unprepared, especially if you're going to be on your own in the woods. But even with a sitter that might be risky. Like potentially a crap your pants and run around all night naked and delirious kind of time. If you do decide to go for more than about 3-4g, be very careful, and bring at least one maybe a couple of sober friends.

As far as ingestion, I like to go gourmet and make mine into part of a fine meal. last time I had some beef and mushroom torteloni, it was delish. But even something as simple as tossing them in an omlette or spaghetti is good. Or pile them on a pizza. I've also put them into a salad, or onto my subway sammich (which might be a good option for a hike.)

Some people prefer to do them on an empty stomach, trying to make the effect stronger (although I've never noticed a difference personally.) You can just chew them up raw of course, nothing wrong with that. Another way to go is to chop them up and make a tea (try not to boil it), or you could try "lemon tek". Grind them up then soak them in lemon juice for a few hours, then strain out the solids and drink the juice. This is supposed to intensify the experience beyond what you'd get by eating the same amount, so maybe go a bit lighter like 2g. I haven't done this yet personally but it is supposed to shorten the duration of the trip as well.

Good luck, be safe and have fun!

oh yes, I wasn't planning on taking all in the first place hehe Thanks for all the tips

A break thru dose is about 5 grams dried. 7 grams really is waaaay too much and kinda a waste. Your gonna want to go again, so do half and get twice the enjoyment! Also be prepared for the nausea... I like fresh cuz I never got sick from fresh.

I actually have some dried in the freezer and was planning on trying something new. I was gonna make Jello Shots outta them. I was gonna brew up a tea and use the tea to make the Jello. You could try that.

Watchout for the talking bushes, they got me the last trip I took in the woods. Also try to remember to look at the stars while tripping...WOW!

Have a great time!

Making the tea is also supposed to reduce the nausea and stomach discomfort, though I have no personal experience with the tea. If you have any DMT with you, it would make for a nice 5 minute excursion from the mushroom trip as well.

Lemon tek is definitly a good way to go. It can make 3.5g feel like 5. Make sure to be familiar with that nature trail because it may look a lot different on the way out than it did on the way in . I'm sure you will have a most lovely day.

Thanks guys will report back when I'm done. Today is the day please send lots of love my way. <3

I, for one, seem to be somewhat sensitive to mostly every substance. 2g of dry cubes for me, no lemon-tek, can get me pretty far out there. I remember trying lemon tek twice some while back, but both experiences seemed somehow "accelerated" and a little bit more uncomfortable than the mushrooms alone, but everybody's different, so I don't know if that helps much. Good advice being passed around. As method of preparation, I love making tea. I can't eat much before a trip (nor heavy stuff), so I resume to a very light meal and the cup of tea. Delicious.

Sending streams of love to you, man. Have fun and be safe!

River of Thoughts, although I reckon you won't be reading this until after you're done, I'm sending positive thoughts your way. I'm looking forward to hearing how it went for you.

I've never tried the lemon tek, but would like to note that I'm odd in that I really love the taste and texture(more so the crunchy texture I'm sure), and won't even eat the regular ones on pizza or anything I'm not sure if it helps at all, but I have chased my dose with a shot of lemon juice. I figured it couldn't hurt. Anyhow, I am looking forward to a trip, i mean hike, report. Wishing you the best!

yo guys im back and wowwwoweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwow. IT was a BLAST thanks for all the love that was sent my way. I was a dancing ninja, did things i never thought was possible(in my old mindset). OMG I was like a conductor of my own symphony i was so in sync with my body. ran down cliffs, went over fallen trees(as bridges) between rivers and danced my way through the whole thing. I found unity with all my personalities and tried them all on for a size for a second and it just blew my mind. I was dancing on top of a rock like no one was watching. I gave myself to mother nature and the universe and trusted that it was there to support me at all times. I invented moves, I was like micheal jackson and a half. in the forest doing stunts and jumps and poses i couldnt imagine doing(with my old mindset). I saw the most beautiful girl in my life and just enjoyed a moment with her. <3 Then I got to see a couple ufos, theyre out there im telling you. sometimes the mother ship and little drones follow in a formation to make it look like theyre planes. I had one stop and just observe me for awhile while i was dancing and then it put a brief light show for me. it was an awesome experience.if anyone was watching me they mustve had an amazing show. was in the forest and night high fiving trees and leaves. I was walking closed eye and pushing my limits everysingle moment. Then i walked backwards and danced and spun around and around going in reverse it was CRRRRaaaazZZYyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I learned how to play with energies, use the negative to support the positive(ie i just assumed everyone is looking and judging so fuk them all let them look and im gonna do my own thang like a BoSS with a capital B.) you add sum balance then u get sum thrust then u kno how it goes from there goes infinity booom ahahaha eXcUSe my grammar SPelling my intellIgent fellowS. LiFE is my color, over and out. <3

PS: WERE ALL IN GOOD HANDS ( AND I really enjoyed the humor behind eating a penis like object to gain enlightenment.)

I took 2.5 grams of dried btw.
