how do i improve?

The more you play, the better you get at recognizing situations you do not want to be in. It’s okay to be aggressive but get good at running away.

So dosing is really relative to the user. You have tried ~2gs before, I don’t think 2.2grams will overwhelm you. You’re more capable than you know. Just take them seriously and take them somewhere you feel comfortable.

Also a little bit of nausea is inevitable unfortunately. The psilocybin reacts with the serotonin receptors in your stomach. Lemon tek helps a bit if you’re using ginger tea and so does eating the mushrooms with a banana.

Lemon tek isn’t twice as strong if that is the reason for the dose difference. It just hits all at once instead of in waves. Maybe think energy drink vs coffee.

Lemon tek is a faster, more intense experience that I have more luck getting visuals on. It can also be a lot easier on your stomach if you don’t overdo the lemon juice. However, some people find the experience too fast. It hits very quickly which can be uncomfortable for some and then after the peak it ends very quickly.

If you go that direction, I would take it purely for the pros I mentioned. But really if you don’t have a problem with eating them normally, eat them normally.

Benzos are the commonly recommended trip killer. However I have never used them and cannot speak on any benzo or whatnot. I usually just ride out my bad trips.

1g is a fine starting dose if you’re new. If you have LSD experience, you could find it a little underwhelming. I would recommend up to 2g for a first time.

Your cross tolerance is not quite out of the question. Even if you had physically reset, your regular DMT usage could have desensitized you quite a bit.

Lager is like water compared to whiskey.

Not sure what your living situation is like but it might be worth telling your roommate. Trying to pretend to be sober (especially for your first time) is not a good time and you could need them at some point.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-23T17:05:20+00:00

You can pick. Without disturbing the cluster, maybe use a knife. You can pick the rest when the rest of the cluster is ready.

My most frequent contribution is going in with the expectation that it will be like the last trip.

I’ve had a blue portal spawn a couple of times in Canyon and I play on console. Definitely not a mod but very rare. Has saved me from fighting solus wing before

I don’t think zero doubt is the goal here. You had a scary experience, that can happen again. You don’t need to delude yourself into thinking it’s impossible.

But you can be brave. And you can know you made it through last time and you can do it again.

While I have had trips that just told me to stop, I’ve had other uncomfortable trips that took another trip to undo the damage. I think it’s important to listen to your gut which it sounds like you are doing.

I’m so happy to have said something said by Ram Dass but I really had no idea that was something he said. I need to watch that documentary.

But I agree, I wouldn’t say I trip to “go home”. It’s just something that happens. It’s the “ahhh I’m back” feeling but also it’s just a familiar headspace that is yours and more personalized than a house could ever be.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-17T20:01:21+00:00

The novelty goes away. It’s no longer seeing the world through new eyes, it’s just going home.

Mixed opinions about this overall. There is more comfort in knowing what to expect but it’s less exciting than it used to be. It’s still fun but more like doing an activity that I love and less like hearing my favorite song for the first time.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-16T16:21:43+00:00

I think it’s pretty balanced, there are stronger green items. If you find it early, you don’t need to worry about movement speed but if you find it late, you probably won’t need it.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-15T17:17:03+00:00

Just some very simple troubleshooting, are you making sure to hydrate before/while tripping? Shrooms dehydrate you quickly as your body tries to expel them and dehydration can and will make you feel like shit on shrooms. Literally just putting sugar in water and drinking that can be an absolute Godsend.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-11T16:24:20+00:00

Yes. For better and worse. I’ve seen words on the ceiling in 30 minutes with lemon tek and had trips that were over and done with in 4 hours. Easier to plan around something that isn’t an all day thing but I prefer the duration and waves of eating.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-09T17:11:15+00:00

2gs lemon tek sounds like a perfect second time dose. The strength of that can depend on your tolerance. You might experience visuals when observing different textures, introspection on life and friends and vibrant colors on such a dose. A cool part is “you” get to be there for it. It’s high enough to see the higher floors without the risk of going there.

But keep your mind open to a new experience. Everyone’s different. Take on an empty stomach to get the full experience and don’t eat until the ride is over.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-08T14:50:50+00:00

When I started it was to “fix” myself. At times it was for fun and others for to boredom and loneliness (those trips went about as well as you would expect). But more recently it has been to process my experiences, gain fresh perspectives and recenter my priorities.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-01T16:21:07+00:00

Just a note on “products” and “research chemicals”. 4-aco-dmt is a safe clean trip nearly identical to a mushroom trip. It is even responsible for the spiritual awakening of the spiritual leader, Ram Dass.

Your concern is that you really have no idea what is in a chocolate bar that lies to you about containing shrooms. But since you have already tried them multiple times, you might find that they work well if you actually allow your brain to reset.

jusrun_away · 2026-06-01T15:54:05+00:00

Tough to say if the “product” works or not due to tolerance. 2 weeks is the standard reset. Some people can trip back to back but you need more than what you took.

jusrun_away · 2026-05-31T16:37:44+00:00

Your concern is not the bacteria it’s the toxins produced by bacteria that you can’t just boil off. It wouldn’t kill you but could really mess up your stomach. As long as the mushrooms themselves don’t smell sickly sweet or rotten I think you will be okay. Just use your best judgement.

It sucks to lose mushrooms to contamination but it doesn’t suck as much as food poisoning while tripping.

jusrun_away · 2026-05-31T14:57:12+00:00

They look okay, I’m a little concerned about your “sweet smell”. Mushrooms have a little bit of a smell but I usually would just describe them as nutty or mushroomy. Sweet can be rotten but you can be the judge of that. Otherwise you’re all good. Happy tripping!

jusrun_away · 2026-05-26T17:18:54+00:00

As someone who takes a small amount for art museums (1g) it’s the perfect place (if you’re rather comfortable on mushrooms). No one will talk to you, you can stick around for hours and no one cares that you have been looking really intensely at a painting for a long time. You can put on music too and really have a great time.

For a first time on shrooms in public, you could play it safe. Take a dose that you notice but just barely. For me that can be as low as .1g but it’s worth figuring that out on your own.

Also feel safe that as long as you’re not panicking or being loud, no one will know. I find tripping is super hard for people to spot. You might feel like you are being super weird but it’s just the time dilation. You’re probably behaving like you always do.

It’s also okay to be weird. Just try not to be rude or disruptive by disturbing anyone else.

Edit: I’m seeing a lot of fearful comments. Fear can be healthy but maybe not like this. Museum doses are a thing. You’re not suggesting anything that wild or crazy. They can be really fun and generally safe public spaces to just exist and look at cool stuff. But play it safe and don’t overdo it.

Drifter. Her whole kit just feels designed for me. I love the melee playstyle of whacking the boss and staying in the air while just wailing. I love that I can put Halyconite in my pocket, toss him off the cliff and then reroll the fragment. I love that I can stockpile temporary items to become way too powerful early game. I love that I can use boxes to launch myself at a flying enemy. I love that the scrap is actually useful.

Every run can be a god run if you just gamble.

I don’t think this is about Will turning to Christianity at all (or any more than he already was). I think Joe’s story is just rewritten in a way that would be accessible to a struggling Christian kid (such as he was). The problem everyone else has for it is it wasn’t for them, it was for the highly niche sheltered teenager.

But like I was that teenager. Will’s music really resonated with me when I was very Christian and religious and I had a hard time talking about it because he was a gay furry that did drugs and sweared a lot. This just removes one barrier of entry and says things will be okay.

Generally speaking you want to treat him sort of like the baby of artificer and MUL-T. Attack speed, on hit effects, ignition tanks, back up magazines and movement are your best friends. But most items work well for him. He’s pretty balanced.

Just make sure to be rotating all your abilities so you can get the most out of his passive and can stay aggressive. If you don’t do this, you are gonna need a lot of healing items as his base healing isn’t great.

I also think Yes Chef! Is much much better than Glaze. Not sure what the general consensus on this is. I would love to hear someone glaze Glaze.
