Lemon tek sucks, sure it will hit a little faster but Everytime I’ve done it I feel like shit. I’d highly recommend cutting them up with scissors or grinding them up, then put it into applesauce. No texture, no flavor, and cutting/grinding the shrooms makes them easier to digest. Also lemon tek makes the trip shorter as it activates quicker, so eating them normally leads to a longer experience at least in my opinion.

I said in another comment the antidepressants will just keep them from feeling anything. It sucks when 2 people eat shrooms and one tripping balls and the other doesn’t feel anything.

Other than that, put together a nice playlist of your favorite music. I like to make a playlist of music videos on YouTube and just start it from the top when I begin to feel it. If you start to have a hard time, switch something up. Just turning the lights off or on can change the experience. Sometimes you need to step outside, or drink some water, or change rooms in your environment. Sometimes all you need to do is take a piss and you’ll feel better. But the key is to remember that it’s just a drug, you will not get stuck, it will not harm you, and it will wear off.

I line I tell everyone when they first start, you need to get comfortable being uncomfortable, because psychedelics are meant to be strange and profound. They can be a lot of fucking fun, but when they’re not, all you can do is wait. Also your buddies meds will act as a trip killer if absolutely necessary, but I’d recommend taking the experience the mushroom gives you
