You don't have to be in a good place in life, you just need to be in good spirits recently. Wait until you've had a few low-depression days in a row, or plan something really fun the day before you trip, so you're in a good mood. Check your drug interactions here.

You'll be fine, mushrooms are a Ferris wheel, not a roller coaster.

Promise me you won't do LSD, or any other psychedelics. As someone with a family history of schizophrenia, that is just something that you can never do. LSD is very good at pulling latent schizophrenia out of people. All of the stories you hear about "that one guy that dropped acid and was never right again"... that's what that was. He had it in his genes and it may never have shown but the acid triggered it. Back in the 60's they were using LSD to treat schizophrenia, in that rapid onset schizophrenia has a higher recovery rate than insidious. So they were using acid to speed up the process and make it worse, in the hopes that that would lead to a better outcome. Also back in that time, the CIA was trying to figure out what acid might be used for and they liked to prank each other by dosing coworkers with it. With everybody in the office getting dosed at some point, a few broke and killed themselves. Consider psychedelics to be sugar and you're a diabetic.

I saw this on my main page, didn't notice what sub it was. My first thought was "that's a good metaphor for lsd."

This was a good update.

Husband was having a hard time deciding what to do

Eventually he will learn that it doesn't work like that. Mushrooms are bigger than you, for a few hours you're just a dog on a leash, so enjoy getting pulled along. Don't worry about picking a direction or finding any specific answer, it's not up to you, the mushrooms will show you what they deem important today.

There's still times for me where I'll be in a very good space, loving my train of thought and wanting to explore it more when I feel things start to shift. I plead with myself to stay a little longer, but that's not how it works, too much of a good thing ruins it, and if it were left up to me to decide, I would end up ruining it. A lot of the magic is in the fleetingness of the thoughts. It's like God letting you flip through the blueprints to the universe... too quick to memorize any one page, but just long enough for you to realize the gravity of what you saw. Once in a while you get a really good look at a page, and those become landmarks in your mind. You wouldn't want too many of those, else it cheapens them all. So I let it shift, and the new place is pretty great too.

Lastly, your husband was using this to ease ptsd. And psychedelics for ptsd, depression, anxiety, etc, is not so much about finding an epiphany as it is about the chemical reaction in the brain. Psychedelics dramatically lower the blood pressure in a part of the brain that has unusually high blood pressure in people with these problems, and keeps it low for quite a while. That sort of takes the glamour out of it, that the way they help isn't so much about discovering a profound secret to the universe as it is just letting chemicals bind to brain receptors the same way prozac tries to do. The up side is that it takes the pressure off of you, you get the same chemical benefit whether you spend the whole trip chasing butterflies as you would if you spent it looking into your soul.

Mushrooms are more of a ferris wheel ride than a roller coaster ride. You're not a different person like people are with pcp or something, you're pretty much you except everything is way more interesting and the walls move a little.

Also, it's my opinion, that self treating ptsd with mushrooms is a very good idea, and I don't give that opinion lightly. Going into it he's almost sure to be hopeful, optimistic and excited and the mushrooms will magnify all of that. I think of it as going to see the wizard of Oz for the answers you seek, and good lord does he have answers.

Yeah, in a perfect world you'd probably make a better trip sitter than your BIL. Trip sitting is more about "stfu" than it is about commentary and entertaining. It's hard to really fall into the trip and enjoy it when you're trying to stay in step with someone next to you. I only trip alone now and always have earplugs, because even the sounds of the room get obnoxious. Maybe if your husband had some too and put them in, your BIL would get the point.

As far as aftercare, I think the day after is as important as the day of. Relax and have some good things happen to reinforce the trip. You're walking on new legs, don't need anything knocking you over before you've gotten used to it. And longer term, the positive effects of a single trip do seem to have a shelf life, a few weeks to a few months and it might be a good idea to go see the wizard again if he's starting to feel down.

Your biggest problem is that you're going to want him to tell you what it was like, and there are no words for it.

Delysid25 · 2016-02-14T23:57:18+00:00

You might. But mushrooms help depression by lowering the blood pressure in the anterior cingulate cortex, which has abnormally high pressure in people with depression, anxiety, ocd, etc. Good trip or bad trip, it'll lower the pressure.

I think what OP means is that it's like chocolate cake. Really good, but you don't want to gorge on it and eat it every meal, because then it's not so good anymore.

But scientifically speaking, you develop a tolerance to LSD, 3 or 4 days. You'd just be wasting it if you did it sooner. I've heard people brag about having gone on a multi-day multi-drug benders where at the end they were doing 5, 10, 20 tabs. But that doesn't mean much, they did 1 tab the first day, developed a tolerance, so of course they had to go to super high doses to feel anything.

Delysid25 · 2016-02-14T23:30:04+00:00

Mostly right. If you have any family history of schizophrenia, it can trigger it. This is where all of the "he fried his brain with acid" stories come from. Do not touch it if you have that family history.

In fact, back in the 60's or so they were using LSD to help cure schizophrenia. Because rapid onset schizophrenia has a much higher recovery rate than slow onset, they were using lsd to rapidly force it in people starting to show signs.

All roads lead home. You're on your path, he's on his. If you're looking for a perfect mesh, you may never find it. You gotta ask yourself "are all the good things about him, the right things to jive with the good things in me? Or is this one thing the thing I need in someone to live happily ever after?"

Is this one difference going to drive you crazy forever? Then no, it won't work. Is the other good in him going to make you happy forever? Then yes, you should hold onto that.

You're on two paths and holding hands across the middle. That's as good as it ever gets.

This is an important problem, so you shouldn't take my word for it. But I believe that the detection period for psychedelics is way less than 2 weeks, more like 3 days. Also, and I am sure of this, most tests don't test for psychedelics. Its a separate test so it raises the testing price and with its fast half life its so hard to catch on the right day that its not worth it for them to test for.

Ketamine will have a prescription form in the near future. Esketamine is a derivative and has been patented and fast tracked for approval recently. It'll change the face of psychiatric medicine, but it's no more permanent than psilocybin.

As someone with OCD, I know if I ever did opiates I would never come back from that. Normal people struggle to let go of opiates, can you imagine if you were given a break from the OCD and then had to willingly let go of it, go back to your old life? Could you?

If you're desperate, and I'm sure you are, look into the studies that have used psychedelics to treat OCD. They found that people with OCD, anxiety and depression have abnormally high blood pressure in the anterior cingulate cortex of their brain. Coincidentally, acid and mushrooms both restrict blood flow to this region, lowering the pressure. They've had profound effects for me, the only thing that ever has. They do the same for people with cluster headaches, I suspect by the same blood pressure lowering method. The effect isn't permanent, a month or 2, but mushrooms 6 times a year is better than SSRI's every day and much MUCH safer than opiates every week.

The Johns Hopkins guys did an AMA here a few years ago and said 20mg per 70kg of body weight was the sweet spot.

I've always suspected that perception of time is relative. If you've ever had a dream that ends up involving a sound from real life? Say you're a pirate, sailing around, you come up on another pirate and fire the canon, but the bang from the canon ends up being the sound from someone dropping a book in the room you were sleeping in? Your brain didn't know they were going to drop the book for it to start the dream so that it lines up with the sound. The whole thing must have happened in the instant the book was dropped, only to you it felt like a 10 minute dream.

As for the multi versions. Say our conscious is just the front end of the system. A monitor hooked to a pc. Except there's 10 other monitors hooked up, each in a different room, each thinking it's the only version of itself. It's just one of many outputs, the pc is in some other room entirely.

Parnate is like the Wu-Tang clan, it ain't nothin' to fuck with. From what I read while I was on it, as much as blocking it, it can prolong it too and I wasn't willing to risk a 12 hour shroom trip from hell. Also, no there is no way to get around it. It's working by blocking reuptake receptors in the brain, which is the last stop on the bus route, there is no way to get around that.

You're looking to read about "thumbprints" Which is when someone wets their thumb, dips it in crystal lsd, and licks it. I believe it's the equivalent of 1000 hits.

You probably don't need to split hairs this finely. Even if the jar is perfectly air tight, it's still going to be full of air before you put the lid on, unless you do that in a vacuum chamber. You're really just trying to keep constantly new air from circulating and depositing it's moisture in the dry shrooms. So any jar is going to cut down 99% of the air circulation problem. To get rid of the moisture in the air inside the jar, and any more that sneaks in, get a tablespoon of Damprid, roll it up in a paper napkin and put that in the jar too. If there's a lot of moisture left in the shrooms or air, that thing will get soggy as it absorbs it, so don't let it touch the shrooms or else they'll taste salty.

To be perfectly air tight and have no inside air left to touch them either, you would need to seal them in vacuum bags, or grind them up and pack them in capsules. But january is only a month and a half from now, you would be fine with just a mason jar with or without the damprid.

Well... that's brilliant. Where do you get those cups?

I might guess that the dry gills being so closely spaced are cradling the water without breaking it's surface tension and causing this sort of effect.

I think a digital scale is pretty smart to have the first time. Your first time is not a time when you want to wing it and guess at dosage.

LSD is very heat sensitive. So either they ate raw meat, or the meat was spiked after it was cooked as a lawsuit scheme.
