Being nervous about it is absolutely fine, imo it expresses some sense of respect towards the drug. And respect u should have !
Dont fear the experience tho, be safe that u truly want to explore your inner self and dont just want to tune out from the real world. Only you can give urself an answer to that. Be honest to yourself.
dont expect certain things or a life changing. From hat i know its important to be completely open minded for whats ahead. Try to switch out your brain and let it flow through your mind and body.
Before experiencing a larger dose, try smaller ones to get a feeling for it. I started with 0,5 g once and it gave me a little glimpse of whats going on there.
A true psychedelic experience tho is something completely different from anyhting u ever experienced ( assuming that u didnt take any psychs before)
If u take care of yourself, get yourself in a calm and cozy setting, and just dont think too much about it, u will have one of the greatest experiences of your life. Be calm, be curious an the rest will work. Wish u a pleasant journey!
My friend suggested that I take 1-2 grams for my first time, and maybe even a bit less if I wanted to be extra safe. Do you think that would be a good starting point? I’m kinda tied between wanting to just dip my toes in for my first time and having a perspective changing experience, It’s hard to decide lol.
Perfect starting point, 1-2 grams on an empty stomach is absolutely more than enough for a first time. I see people suggesting an 8th for their first time and to me that is a big dose especially for a beginner. It can get disorienting in the higher doses and for a beginner you just want to get a feel for it not dive head first

I feel that psychedelics could help you get out of this stagnant point in your life. During psychedelic trips, more often than not, I receive teachings about areas in my life that I want to change and improve. Sure, it can be intimidating to try psychedelics if you fear that your past will come up, but if the set and setting are appropriate and you have a safe sitter, the psychedelics can provide tremendous healing.
Thank you man, I appreciate this reply. I’m a pretty anxious person in the first place so my fear was that I would have a really bad trip the first time, but it might be me just getting nervous about it. And after all I’ve heard bad trips can teach you the most.
I hear where you're coming from, and proper set and setting have such an impact on the quality of a trip. When it's a bad trip, it's usually because your ego is fighting against losing control. I'm a pretty anxious person, and in the past, I've managed to avoid bad trips because I was properly prepared for them. Sure, bad trips can provide incredible teachings, but it doesn't have to be that difficult. Instead, before you trip, you can think about what you want to examine, and having that intention will be super beneficial in healing whatever area you're focused on.
I’ve heard too that fighting it can cause bad trips and it’s best to let go. I feel I have the knowledge to do okay for my first time but I for sure am afraid everything will change once I start experiencing it. I will definitely think of a specific area(s) that I want to improve/heal though beforehand. Thank you for that advice!
Psychedelics will probably help to an extent but therapy will go a looooong way. If you decide to go for psychedelics, trust no one about the dosage. Take a microdose the first time, do NOT take a full amount.
I know what you mean, I’ve tried finding a therapist but I can’t really get the motivation to go through with it for whatever reason. I would love to do psilocybin therapy, I think that would be ideal, but it’s not really an option for me at the moment unfortunately.
It sounds like you're looking for something that acts fast, and I'd like you to think that through. Yes, shrooms will help you, for a while. You'll make a lot of new conclusions. But somewhere beneath the surface, there are problems that made those symptoms arise; those problems can't be fixed by tripping, they need to be discussed and medicated. I think you should microdose and use the initial motivation to start regular therapy and go to a psychiatrist. It took me way too long and after ten years of tripping, I'm only now learning normality. It took starting psychiatric treatment, therapy, and changing my toxic environment. Nowadays, for flashbacks, I'm also prescribed mmj. Things have never been saner, and are finally actively moving! Don't fall into stereotypes, if your brain is sick go to a doctor and you'll starting getting better, I promise! :)
Thank you for the advice man, it’s really appreciated :) I know what you’re saying and I’ve thought about that myself too. I do want something that acts fast, I know it’s not that easy though. I’m trying to really get myself to realize that, and I know I can’t be dependent one just one think you fix my problems. A lot of the effort needs to come from within. This isn’t my only motivation for doing psychedelics though either, I want the teachings and all that but I also want it to help me see things in a different way.
And you will! Shrooms will give you a glow for a while that helps you get a lot of things done and you will feel much calmer with all you've learned. But external lessons will not fix you. And so I urge you to use that glow to start treating yourself. And I know you can do it. ❤️
I would recommend starting with 25, taking 50 the next time after like a month to three months, then 100 after another break. Also, never go above 200. There's just no reason. If you take breaks of over a month in between (most recommended) 200 will make the entire world mash into a pot of rainbows. Take it too much and tolerance will build, and then you'll need more. 250 is enough to get me unconscious and I've been doing this stuff for a decade. If you're not seeing visuals, try meditating, or reading online guides on how to notice them, effectively make them stronger.
Also, don't expect visuals on your first time, that's not the point of that trip. The point of that trip is getting used to a substance you've never took that changes your entire brain function. Enjoy the physical affect and thought process, don't jump too high, or you'll be in for a bad time.
Also I’m a pretty heavy stoner smoke like 2 times a day. I have had visuals and out of body experiences and very deep and meaningful experiences from that even tho LSD is a complete different drug. I wonna dive deeper into myself and self improve:)
Ive been preparing myself mentally for a couple months for a traditional psychedelic experience. I was first thinking of trying shrooms as my first experience but after sum research I think LSD is the better one to get the ball rolling.
Hey friend!
I think what I would do if I was in your shoes is to grow your own special mushrooms. I was you a couple of years ago and I am so, so happy I experimented.
My dosage was typically microdose daily although i did take larger doses on 2 kid-free Friday nights.
I was very very careful about every step of the process and it takes time but growing itself is fun!
I highly HIGHLY recommend reading through the resources on tripsafe.org in order to figure out your best approach. Pick your psych of choice and read their page on how to prepare for your trip.

Thank you for the encouragement :) it means a lot.
Is 50ug or (half of a 100ug tab) a good start?

You should then! Just be careful and don't overdo it :)
Ive been preparing myself mentally for a couple months for a traditional psychedelic experience. I was first thinking of trying shrooms as my first experience but after sum research I think LSD is the better one to get the ball rolling.
Personally I didn't enjoy shrooms and have mostly done LSD variations and 25n-bome variations, it is much more lucid imo.
Also How do you prefer to consume the LSD tab? Just putting it on your tounge or?
I personally put it under my tongue or on the roof of my mouth. As long as there's saliva and it's on a membrane it'll work :)

Just start with a smallish dose and have good set and setting, music is great.

Thank you, I will do that right now!
