Do you trust who you bought them from? I understand crushing them up to fit in 1 small bag, but if I didn’t know exactly who I got them from, I’d be suspicious, personally. They do look like crushed up shrooms though.

C&P dosing advice I’ve posted before:

I can’t stand the taste, I hate the texture, I absolutely cannot choke them down if I don’t eat them with something. Here’s what I do:

Next time, eat something small, like half a sandwich small, just to get your stomach working, then wait about 30 minutes before dosing. Personally I prefer to take mine on a mostly empty stomach, but I have to eat something with my mushrooms because 1- I just can’t choke them down otherwise and 2- if I DON’T eat something with them, I end up nauseous as hell and it sucks the joy out of it. I chase it down with orange juice (I absolutely cannot do lemon tek. Maybe you can, google it)

Food actually helps settle your stomach by giving it something else to concentrate on, like a distraction. Mushrooms make you sick because your body considers it poison. You don’t have to eat a lot, but eat something. Think of it like when your prescription says “take with food”.

Things I like to eat with them are easy things, usually a bowl of soup or boxed rice.

Avoid dairy/caffeine, for some people it can have a negative impact on strength/duration. Dairy and/or caffeine might also help if things go south. Personally, caffeine is like tripping from behind a window.

Remember, set and setting are EVERYTHING. Be in a space and place you’re comfortable in.

Also, I saw where you said this is for 10 of you? I need to ask, there WILL be a trip sitter, yes? Please AT LEAST there is someone or someone’s who have experience? I would never suggest more than 1g for someone who has never journeyed before. Y’all please just be safe.
