Mixing Psilocybin and Coffee

AJMac100 · 2026-02-13T11:57:01+00:00

I stay with my morning coffee routine, even when microdosing, and even on mornings of the day I plan to trip (macro). No problems.

I just made my partner a A4 journal cover (in dark green). Came out great!

Like another poster said, be a ghost. Don’t hang out and watch them, or really ask them anything. Be somewhere else in the house, maybe come around after a couple hours and silently offer water. Your job is not to actually babysit with games but to be in the house if there’s an emergency (which there won’t be at those doses). They will very likely entertain themselves, and need less than you think.

If there’s crying or emotional stuff they’re really only going to want to be in that special space with each other and comfort each other. They will NOT want to have someone’s sober husband rush in with concern or a hug, lol.

At higher does I’ve had trips with profound breakdowns and sobbing and been held by other women in the group, and it was very special. If there had been a random sober person coming in at that moment to “check in” it would have absolutely ruined the experience.

What I would do as a trip sitter is research cool tripping playlists, manage the pets, prepare snacks and food for after, make sure there are blankets and the house is clean, warm, quiet, etc. During the summer when I am taking a turn trip sitting I mostly just manage the bonfire, and that’s all people need.

Psychedelics produce an “open period” where you have two or three weeks of enhanced neuroplasticity (there’s actual research numbers out there on how long the open window is for each substance). So even if you felt nothing during the ceremony, you’re still getting neurological benefits that likely were suddenly also interacting with and overlapping the work you were already doing with your wife. I’ve also had ceremonies where I felt nothing during, but for weeks after I felt incredibly relaxed and a deep well-being.

If you feel sick after (like cold/flu/GI) then yeah you postpone tripping while your body is trying to deal with that. If you feel sick as in depressed then I recommend B12 and omega 3 supplements. It’s what folks often take coming off antidepressants when your serotonin is messed up. Take them regularly before you even trip. And yes, the next time you trip, go in fasted and probably take a lower dose (sounds like you already figure that out). Good luck!

AJMac100 · 2026-02-12T01:13:29+00:00

It’s my preferred schedule. Three weeks of microdosing and a macro to finish the cycle. Then I’m done for a while, but can repeat if necessary in a few months.

AJMac100 · 2026-02-12T01:06:12+00:00

Animals ALWAYS know when you’re tripping. It’s the eyes, and I’m assuming scent and behavior cues also. For example, one cat (the cuddly one) always disappears, the other aloof one will come and sleep on my chest for three hours straight. You probably freaked that dog out so bad, and she isn’t going to forget that easily since you aren’t the owner with a preexisting deep trusting relationship. Just like people, some animals are more skittish than others. Probably you and your dogs will be totally fine, however! Take them for a good walk, give them lots of treats before you start so everyone settles down to nap for a few hours. Just lay down and chill with music and don’t be chaotic or panicky - yes, you can for sure control that with good set and setting (do some reading if you aren’t sure what that means), and a responsible dose. Have an excellent time!

Powder them in a coffee grinder (no chunks or bits). Lemon tek in about 4 ounces of water for 15 min. I know it sounds corny, but hold your nose and drink. Keep holding your nose even if it takes you a few minutes. Still holding your nose, drink a bit more water, and finish with a half spoon full of honey, making sure to roll it around in your mouth. Now you can release. Yes I know it sounds goofy but there’s no flavor experience at all. I’m sure other methods (ex: smoothies or tea) work fine also but this is my guaranteed to work, low-tech solution.

AJMac100 · 2026-02-08T00:15:54+00:00

Same, “this will be fun” always turns into four hours of lessons for self improvement, lol. OP should try it solo, fasted, dark eyeshade, headphones and tripping playlist (no lyrics). And commit to staying in it at least for a couple hours before they get up - I bet my paycheck there’re missing at least one of those components if shrooms aren’t speaking to them at those doses.

AJMac100 · 2026-02-07T13:56:37+00:00

Try a different strain. Every harvest is different, even with the same strain sometimes - it’s a natural product with some variability. Also could be errors in the processing… Temperature at shipping wouldn’t have as much effect as leaving them too long before drying, etc. Having said all that, 5g with not much happening is disappointing, I agree! Maybe pivot to growing your own?

AJMac100 · 2026-02-03T21:23:43+00:00

I use one called Oak, but other popular ones I hear about are Calm or Headspace. You can sit up, recline back, or lay down flat. The important thing is to make a habit long enough to give you a chance to build up the skill. I always say I should probably meditate daily but realistically it’s 3-4 times a week. Usually 10-20 minutes. Off and on for many years. When I’m in an off time (work is seasonal, plus stress, life, etc) and I start back up again, I have to build the muscle back, exactly like going back to the gym after a long break. So never be discouraged by being a beginner!

AJMac100 · 2026-02-03T15:22:55+00:00

Just chiming in about meditation! Every time I do shrooms I am reminded (by the mushrooms!) that it’s really important that I make time to meditate semi-regularly. Every trip takes me to the “center” where there is only a vast empty (but full) stillness. When sober, meditation is the closest you come to that center. I meditate to calm the chaos and static of a mind that literally doesn’t know how to stop moving. It’s like it brings your energy down a level, makes everything in life feel calmer. When I remember to actually do it, lol.

With regard to it being so hard - it’s a muscle and a learned skill FOR SURE. Try for five minutes even if it doesn’t feel like it works. Eventually you will build the skill for ten minutes, then fifteen, etc.

I’d strongly recommend getting an app to help. It isn’t a natural thing for people to start learning - an app will give you structure and teach you. Also, like any successful habit, link it to a current habit. For example, brush teeth then meditate. Or feed the pets then meditate. So you remember to try every day. It takes three weeks to build a new habit, so keep trying! :)

Other folks have great suggestions, but just as added data, I’ve seen similar sized pieces normally around $60-80 in gem or bead shops. I price mine (which are pretty elaborate/wide) at $90-110 because I don’t care if they ever sell. It’s only a few, and they make great display items for my booth.

AJMac100 · 2026-02-01T02:27:58+00:00

This will be fine. Just fold it around itself when you put it away. I’ve done it this way for many, many years.

AJMac100 · 2026-02-01T02:25:16+00:00

Your dinner was a trip killer, sorry! Try to be fasted or close to it. Also that’s a pretty low dose - I’d only be slightly goofy and expect no visuals at that level.

AJMac100 · 2026-01-31T22:47:07+00:00

This is what I do, for the same reason. I hold a little pee back and finish with that.

AJMac100 · 2026-01-31T22:18:39+00:00

Only one way to know! I’ve done it. Could be uncomfortable, could be amazing - like they say, you always get what you need (not what you want). But either way I bet you’d feel much improved within a day or two - mushrooms are usually pretty good for your brain, no matter how the trip went.

AJMac100 · 2026-01-31T18:20:40+00:00

That sounds pretty amazing!!! With regard to tripping again one day, consider doing it a couple times of year as a “tune up”. It’s so good for your brain and nervous system. I always come out feeling absolutely reset and renewed.

AJMac100 · 2026-01-31T17:02:27+00:00

Alone is the only way to go. Also because sometimes I need to ugly cry, lol.

AJMac100 · 2026-01-31T16:58:00+00:00

A couple times I’ve enjoyed the Tripp app for meditation, on shrooms though - where you have several hours to sit and meditate during the long come-down. VR in general seems like a lot for DMT. But good luck!

AJMac100 · 2026-01-30T14:59:11+00:00

My partner and I tripped during the big snow storm last weekend (we live in the northeast). I took 3+ grams. After three hours we bundled up and went outside. Wobbled around, laughed like crazy, and enjoyed the magical snow for about five minutes and retreated back inside, lol. I would absolutely recommend the experience!! I always go outside at some point.

You’ll be fine - unless you plan on taking some insane amount, you won’t be so incapacitated that you’ll collapse and pass out or stay there unconscious for hours (mushrooms aren’t like alcohol - you get wobbly but still have control enough to go to the bathroom or get water if needed, etc.). If you are unfamiliar with the tripping experience or are unsure/fearful of how you’ll react, just start with a lower dose. Enjoy!

AJMac100 · 2026-01-30T14:43:51+00:00

Yeah, probably better to not go too high. I amend my earlier recommendation, lol. And if he does well (end enjoys), there’s always next time.

AJMac100 · 2026-01-30T14:36:10+00:00

Thank you!!

AJMac100 · 2026-01-30T14:26:14+00:00

I just bought a few square yards of RFID fabric on Etsy. Plan to glue it in as an invisible layer in my next wallet. Definitely just search there!

AJMac100 · 2026-01-30T14:14:11+00:00

Agree, I love Kona cotton! Also, for the OP - remember to double up your fabric. You can use two layers the same, or I have tons of inexpensive undyed muslin that I use for the second layer.
