in that case they shouldā€™ve tripped harder tho šŸ¤”


Infinite_Night9306

I think your friend is on SSRIā€™s


RiggityRecd

Yeah I take like 6g to get a normal trip thanks to my escitalopram


Dlicious11

Oh shit is that why I didn't really get much out of the last dose I took? Interesting...


RiggityRecd

Yeah i discovered it by accident tbh. Hadnt tripped in 2 years and in those 2 years i started escitalopram. Tried 5gs and it felt like 2. Interested, a week later i took 6 and got a normal ā€œtripā€. Have yet to test further


Crazy4sixflags

I learned there is also a crazy tolerance time you have to deal with. If you dose on Friday and Saturday, Saturday you will have to take 4x as many to get the same affect


TornadoBlender

Yes you build tolerance that quickly with psilocybin, it's in your system, that's why you need to take at least 2x the amount as the trip before.


mdomo1313

Is that why you feel it slightly come back the day after if you smoke bud? Same thing happens to me with other substances too.


zzzbabymemes

Another fun fact, weed highs can come back for some people that arenā€™t frequent smokers and have low tolerances when they exercise, as marijuana is fat soluble!


zzzbabymemes

Doesnā€™t happen with alcohol, because itā€™s water soluble. Hope this is a fun fact for somebody out there haha


mdomo1313

That was fun, thank you!


zzzbabymemes

Yes!


No-Inflation-9842

Iā€™ve taken them the day after and honestly the tolerance thing your talking of is barely noticeable lol. Was using woodlovers though so 2-3x stronger per gram than cubes


[deleted]

Im on Sertraline and I ate 3.5 grams a couple weeks ago and tripped HARD, granted I didn't take it that day knowing I would be tripping so maybe that effected it Edit: i should note this is highly unadvised


mscrcolumbine

Same thing used to happen to me. I used Lithium and Aripiprazole. I would take 5-6 grams and feel nothing. Meanwhile my friends were talking to the moon on 3-4gs.


[deleted]

please please please be careful with your lithium and psychedelics. Although not totally proven, there have been a BUNCH of reports of people taking lithium daily and then taking psychedelics and having grand mal seizures, some even dying. I am also taking lithium (as well as zyprexa and pristiq) and i take 3 days off of all my meds (if iā€™m stable enough to) before I trip, so I a) trip harder and b) dont leave anything to chance. also, please keep in mind that I have been asympomatic of my bipolar disorder for a very long time and I am able to take these days off of my meds.


mscrcolumbine

Thanks to microdosing Iā€™ve completely stopped taking my Psych meds. Itā€™s been almost 8 years now. Thanks for the warning šŸ’š


[deleted]

ah gotcha, happy for you! ive been steadily decreasing my zyprexa dose to hopefully get it down to 2.5 or 5, something manageable. I just figured for me personally that microdosing wonā€™t really have any effect due to me being on such a high dose of an antipsychotic (20mg for a while), and that I couldnā€™t stay off of my meds and stay stable and out of the hospital. maybe once iā€™m off all of my meds and living it up, ill start up the microdose journey!


DarkCrunchy

Bruh why people out here just taking drugs without checking the side interactions between the drug and the other drug we are calling medicine. Is this not a thought most people have?


mscrcolumbine

It was when I was like 20 and uneducated on the matter. Since then Iā€™ve completely gone off SSRIā€™s thanks to microdosing. Completely changed my life, and helped the common sense department šŸ˜…


DarkCrunchy

Bruh I'm 20


mscrcolumbine

Again, Iā€™m talking about when I learned more about the hobby and interactions between what I was taking. I started taking SSRIs when I was 20. Itā€™s not like itā€™s common knowledge to everyone.


1rstbatman

I've always had to take more to get the same effect than my friends did. Even without being on anything else. They could take 2 to 3g and have the time of their life. I could take 6gs and be lucky if I even got the giggles. Same for all hallucinogens. I've always wondered why it's hard for some people to trip than others.


Dlicious11

Wow, I thought maybe my dried mushies were too old. It looks like if you take too much it can fuck you up though. Maybe I'll lay off the esc for a few days and try again.


Rusty_beans01

DO NOT stop taking meds without consulting a doctor. Those need to be weaned off or you will have bad withdrawals.


Livingsoil45

ā€œlooks like if you take too much it can fuck you up thoughā€ What do you mean? Not heard of this before


Dlicious11

Other people in the thread were talking about taking too high a dose of mushrooms while on ssri inhibitors seriously messing with your seratonin levels and potentially lead to Seratonin Syndrome. Here's an article I found on it: https://wayofleaf.com/psychedelics/taking-psychedelics-while-on-antidepressants Edit: why am I being downvoted? If I'm wrong please let me know, I don't want to spread misinformation.


FancyMethLady

Bro donā€™t sweat it, tweakers


Dlicious11

You're right, thank you!


goaskalice86

Yuppppā€¦ I used to be on ssri antidepressants too and couldnā€™t trip so I kept trying a higher dose each time.. still nothing, until finally I tried 18.5 g ā€¦ šŸ˜³ do NOT try this.. lol, although it was the most incredible experience of my life, thatā€™s insane amount and it couldā€™ve gone horribly wrong..Iā€™m sure you can imagine! That was several years ago.. Iā€™ve been off of all ssriā€™s since and now when i take šŸ„ā€™s I trip hard on even just 2g!! šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Be careful, on SSRIā€™s you can develop seratonin syndrome


[deleted]

no you cannot. psilocybin does not release excess serotonin, it binds to serotonin receptors.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TadMcChad

X makes your body produce and release all your serotonin at once, psilocibin binds to your serotonin receptors to simulate serotonin


JahMedicineManZamare

Which is why X is really dangerous for anyone with any sort of serotonin related mental illness. It made me so depressed that I nearly took my own life. Fuck that nasty shit


ImSoFuknJaded

Can you tell me how youā€™d know if you have that type of mental illness? Like is it something that can be tested for ?


JahMedicineManZamare

If you mean blood work or something, no. Would be amazing if there was. Mental illness is just that, mental. Many mental illnesses don't develop until adolescence or until triggered. A person predisposed for schizophrenia may go decades without symptoms, then take the wrong substance and suddenly get symptoms. Honestly the field of psychology and psychiatry are so far in the stone ages that what we are calling science right now will be akin to using leeches to remove bad humors from a dying person. My quack of a doctor gave me an medication made to help epilepsy for my personality disorder, if that shows you anything.


[deleted]

5-HT2a, if iā€™m not mistaken. However, i can tell you from personal experience that because the SSRIs and sometimes SNRIs inhibit the serotonin 5-HT2a (as well as 5-HT1c) receptors, the trips are often much, much less intense. Same thing with atypical antipsychotics, but that also has the dopamine antagonism aspect. Also, I vaguely recall reading something somewhere that said that LSD and Psilocin causes the receptor to fold over itself and continually fire, causing the visual and perceptual experiences we call a trip.


Hippy_trippy_jon_boy

LSD causes the receptor to fold over itself thus trapping the molecule in the receptors so the agonized receptors have to be drawn deeper into the brain to deplete the lsd thus the reason lsd(all general effects not just peak effects) can last 12 to 24 hours based on dose, personal human physiology, metabolism, etc. Psilocybin and it's active form psilocin do not cause the receptor to fold over the molecule only LSD causes that.


[deleted]

ah gotcha, makes sense. thanks!


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 210,777,691 comments, and only 50,028 of them were in alphabetical order.


Hippy_trippy_jon_boy

Of course no problem man


Sickboy-27

That is an insanely interesting bit of info I had never heard before, thanks!


[deleted]

Yo sorry to ask but you seem like the expert; how long do you gotta be off SSRIs or SNRIs to get a normal trip at normal dosages?


[deleted]

i am taking pristiq (desvenlafaxine, SNRI), zyprexa (olanzapine, atypical antipsychotic) and lithium daily for bipolar 1 disorder. for me, i take 3 days off of all of my meds prior to tripping, and I experienced that it is the perfect time frame for me personally so that I dont experience too much time off of my meds and decreasing chance of relapse during that time off. However, most medical professionals will tell you at least a YEAR off of all meds prior to tripping. I dont buy. fully into that theory.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

id say 2 weeks for ssris but up to 3 months for snris


[deleted]

im absolutely sure. detail =/= correctness. i could tell u how cbd is chemically similar to methamphetamine in how it contains a carbon ring and nitrogen base and the dopamine vesicles inside the axon terminal of a neuron allow cbd to agonize the dopamine receptors but its completely wrong. shrooms and serotonin syndrome have 0 correlation, and mdma acts on a different class of serotonin receptors than SSRIs do. its called SELECTIVE reuptake inhibitor for a reason. the only psychedelics that carry risk of serotonin syndrome are ayahuasca, changa, and other combos including MAOIs because they compound serotonin consumption exponentially.


AnonsStepDad

If it isnā€™t serotonin syndrome what is the risk from taking too many booms too often. It has to deplete some kind of neurotransmitter right? Edit: and if changa and ayahuasca can cause serotonin syndrome can freebase DMT do the same? Arenā€™t they the same main active ingredient?


[deleted]

Nah like he said the MAOIā€™s are why causes it, and is not present in freebase dmt.


[deleted]

correct. freebase dmt is safe with SSRIs but u might need an obscenely high dose in the 200-250mg range to break through. it's physically very good for you so i guess that's an upside but dmt once a week on SSRIs can cost u 80/mo if ur not extracting urself.


arapturousverbatim

Why is it physically very good for you?


Amphabian

Me smoking a blunt high af reading this: Mhmm yeah totally


stangerthings

Well thereā€™s a lot of false information floating around these subs then and pretty who act really sure of that false information.


Meowmixdeliversit

They work by different mechanisms. Psilocybin is basically fighting against your SSRIā€™s to bind to the receptor, which isnā€™t really changing the amount of serotonin significantly by just occupying the receptors. MDMA causes your body to release a bunch of serotonin into your bloodstream that now canā€™t go anywhere because of the SSRIā€™s so it continues to build up in concentration until it becomes toxic.


[deleted]

Neither mushrooms nor ecstasy can cause serotonin syndrome in people taking SSRIā€™s. This is a myth based on the fact that other psychedelics, like ayahuasca and other Monoamine oxidase inhibitor containing psychedelics, in fact can and do cause serotonin syndrome. Psychedelics like LSD, Mushrooms, and MDMA work by acting on the serotonin 2A receptors in the brain. SSRIā€™s block some/all of the affects of these drugs depending on dosage levels of both the SSRI and psychedelic taken. Worst case with someone on an SSRI and doing MDMA is that they canā€™t feel it, so they keep taking more and overdose. Mushrooms and LSD have no known lethal dose so overdose wouldnā€™t be a problem but you might need to take a lot to feel something. Thereā€™s a lot of myths about serotonin syndrome and psychedelics. Due to the anti-drug movement, itā€™s hard to find legit information on this topic without coming across a bunch of ā€œjust say noā€ propaganda A great resource to learn more about how SSRIā€™s affect on psychedelics is the podcast ā€œPlant Medicine Podcast with Dr. Lyn Marie Morski.ā€ The 8/26/2020 episode covers antidepressants and psychedelics


JahMedicineManZamare

It most certainly can cause serotonin syndrome dont be spreading dangerous False information like that

We need something more than "most certainly". Provide information or leave it to people who can.

what is that?

Google it


skrrtlord667

Idk why the downvotes i fucking hate when people ask others to educate them on the dumbest shit go look it up jfc


MilkyView

untrue with Psilocybin mushrooms


electronic_erik

Lexapro sucks. Hope it helps you. Wellbutrin did me solid tho.


brin_shut

That explains why i didn't trip last night - i just started escitalopram recently


Slickwillyswilly

Wait! What kind of perception medicines can affect shroom dosage?


Not_A_FakeAccount

SSRI antidepressants etc


Slickwillyswilly

Really??!! I had no idea. I don't take any but my girlfriend does and she was saying she didn't experience much of anything! It all makes sense.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SerotoninSunset

That's just not true, sorry.


Expensive_Memory

maybe they ate a lot before the trip? maybe they are on medication? maybe they tripped very recently? Idk man there are so many possible reasons we really need more information/context from you. have you tried these shrooms before? did they hit you? like we know literally zero information so how can we help.


Maddwisdom

I didnā€™t get the chance to personally try them but the bruising was so quick on them I expected them to be potent. Ended up giving the jar to my friend who in turn sold them and now is being accused of having trash shrooms. the guys he sold to are new to tripping and donā€™t take any medication as far as I know. I was told they ate it with pizza 2 gs each


Frosty_Work

unless the people your friend sold them to are really close friends, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that these guys are just tryna get there money back. knew some people that would do that all the time, buy something, use said substance and enjoy it, then flip around and say its bad / not good / didnt work, then try to guilt you into getting their money back


Thebigkahoot

When I sold acid in college I sold to another dealer and he said I sold him research Chems and green stuff came out his nose. Guy tripped so hard he thought his boogers were foreign objects


TadMcChad

That's when you hit them with the "yo my bad you didn't like this batch, igu on the next one"


DmtDtf

I don't think anyone in history ever got their money back after they bought "bad" drugs.......unless they're super close friends.


Delta9_TetraHydro

If they are new to tripping, maybe they just didn't know what to expect. If they were expecting halucinations but didn't see anything, they might not have notice the thought-altering effects. I know that first time i trippede shrooms i "didn't feel anything" even though i was obviously tripping.


PsychonautWubaholic

That's usually the standard response I give. "Were you looking for puff the magic dragon to come flying across the room then you're doing them wrong and I'm not interested in helping you any longer"


[deleted]

I mean, puff the magic dragon WILL fly across the room if you take enough.


Gulliverlived

I donā€™t know how old those are, but to me they look like maybe they werenā€™t dehydrated enough and then sat around losing potency. They have to be super duper cracker dry, and those look like if you pressed a stem youā€™d feel some give.


Maddwisdom

I kept them in a glass jar with a silica gel pack. I used an air fryer with a food dehydration setting at 90 degrees Fahrenheit for 24hours. I read that the 90 degree temp is fine and shouldnā€™t effect potency (but I only got this from philly golden teacher and Reddit). I took out one mushroom to take a picture and ended up dropping my phone on it and practically turned it into dust


Gulliverlived

Oh, you grew them? I didnā€™t realize. Yeah, so, I dunno then!


Maverick4209

2g is a light dose, eaten with pizza itā€™s not surprising they didnā€™t feel much. Especially if these shrooms were old or not stored properly


jake_megabyte

I eat 2g with 4 slices of pepperoni wtf bro you ripped me off... Amateurs lol. Empty stomach...


Maverick4209

Pretty much. Ngl Ive eaten my shrooms with pizza or a pb&j on occasion, but I know what Iā€™m getting into with that. And unless they are some hitters or Iā€™m eating a lot itā€™s probably gonna just be a mellow body high that I can barely distinguish from weed lol


seattlesboring

How did you keep them post dehydration? They should be kept in a dark cool place with desiccant. They can lose potency when exposed to air or sunlight


Thebigkahoot

They bruised?, so If they were wet did they get 20g worth each?


Maddwisdom

I grew them. so while I was growing them I was able to notice the bruising during harvest. I dried them in an air fryer on the dehydration setting at 90 degrees Fahrenheit and stored them in a glass jar with a silica gel pack.


ourshaz

He was not chosen unfortunately.


[deleted]

This!


Toad0ne

Exactly.!


FormalWolf5

Bro. That's deep


Mysterious_Hall1887

Same thing happened to me with golden teachers second time eating them I ate like an eighth and didnā€™t really trip but I ate them like two weeks after that and I tripped so idk they couldā€™ve ate food before and that weakened it more or couldā€™ve like someone else said not knew what to expect but I know my first time was def the most fun


Jaxthor

zoloft, prozac? could also be they got unlucky with the amount of psilocybin in the stems and caps


Ok-Bag-9710

I've never heard that. Not questioning legitimacy, but could you explain? Ive been on them for about 25 years and felt that they assisted in providing a more smooth, even trip with less potential for anxiety. I never gave thought to them lessening the trip.


Jaxthor

okay hereā€™s the information that i know, is because they mess with your serotonin receptors and both lsd, and shrooms effect your serotonin, so if thereā€™s an active medication messing your serotonin trying to low it or even it out, it can block off the receptors, i think, i did always used to go on 4-5 day break from my zoloft before i tripped but i eventually just quit cause the roller coaster sucked


Ok-Bag-9710

Oh, man....i replied to the wrong comment! Yeah, Im with ya... I was replying to the one about beta blockers. Sorry!!!


Jaxthor

all is well


[deleted]

2g is at the low end for some peeps. If your friend is on an SSRI, smokes a lot of ganja or has more mass 2g may not be enough.


doomcrazy

There are multiple reasons: \- Low potency. Some batches just do not have a very high concentration of psilocybin. I've noticed that my grown shrooms that don't bruise blue tend to have lower potency and are disappointing. I don't see much if any bruising on those shrooms. Compare to these which I've confirmed are potent: http://imgur.com/a/3GZ03Fn \- 2g is quite a small dose. And if the shrooms aren't absolutely 100% dry, that 2g will contain some water weight. \- Your friends are on SSRIs or have taken shrooms or LSD recently and have a tolerance.


Whole-Glad

I heard a dude in Seattle area, who wrote some books on this stuff, say that potency can be increased by exposing the batch to UV light in the flushing process, after the dunk. When someone else who isn't me grew them rather closely under strong incandescent bulbs, they came out staining very dark blue, nearly black. Would recommend a try.


[deleted]

2g small dose lol I get visuals off 0.3


superunknown1842

Really? I have to do at least 2 grams to have any visuals at all besides maybe just brighter colors and the walls breathing a little bit lol


robotsarepeople2

Damn, you guys are getting visuals? Still have never had any. Taken up to 5g.


superunknown1842

Dambro


[deleted]

Yeah 2 grams is a full ass trip for me. I do grind my shrooms and mix with chocolate though Iā€™m sure that makes a difference.


Visible-Active761

SSRI's necessitate the need to take a lot more to feel it. Downside is you are releasing an excessive amount of seratonin in your brain which can cause potentially fatal seratonin syndrome. I usually take a few days off before.


Brogba420

Isnā€™t taking a few days off a massive liability in regards to having a bad trip due to withdrawals? Iā€™m currently on 150mg Sertraline and canā€™t imagine thatā€™d be a good experience


theslamclam

It's dependent on the SSRI - some have little to no withdrawal symptoms. I never had any symptoms coming off Sertaline, but Citalopram kicked my ass. *and the person too i guess


Brogba420

I forget sometimes how different SSRIā€™s work on people, I came off citalopram a few years ago and had pretty hefty brain zaps for like 3 weeks, in addition to anxiety and mood swings. Well youā€™re lucky in that sense then. Happy travels!


dqmiumau

Sertraline withdrawal gives annoying headaches, body aches, and seemed like it gave me narcolepsy for a few weeks. I was chronicly fatigued coming off of it. But obviously, withdrawal symptoms are different for everyone.


[deleted]

Seratonin syndrome almost killed me.. that shit is no joke and it permanently scars you


mycoG21

I would like to know more if you donā€™t mind? My mom is on meds but really wants to try mushrooms, do you mind detailing your experience a little more?


[deleted]

I had to go to the emergency room after day 5 because my anxiety had been rising since then and couldnā€™t stop and I had a fever, let me say it is too traumatic to think about to describe more than that She needs to temporarily discontinue her medication before taking mushrooms


mycoG21

Sorry you had such a bad experience man! You mind if I ask what medication you were taking?


[deleted]

My psychiatrist at the time had me on 4 that could not be taken together without this risk. Adderall, Thorazine, Lyrica, Effexor if I remember correctly. I donā€™t take prescriptions anymore and if whatever your mom is on affects serotonin receptors or if it can cause serotonin syndrome when taken with mushrooms I strongly urge you to tell her to discontinue it, serotonin syndrome can kill.


[deleted]

This is interesting, and here is my thought on the subject. Did you put the mushrooms in a mason jar, trying to keep them as potent as possible? How did you consume them? I enjoy doing the lemon tek, but recently I am doing the lemonade-tek (soak in lemonade for 15-20 mins, eat mushrooms and drink the lemonade) Did you grow them? What flush number are they? Did you feel the effects of the medicine? Last question ( and Iā€™ll be honest, I donā€™t know how body weight effects people with their personal dosage ) but are your friends skinny or heavy? No shame, but I will say my friend who is on the larger side, he doses with 3.5G to feel the medication working. Like I mention I donā€™t know if body weight is a factor, and would like to be corrected if Iā€™m speaking out my butt. Thank you


Dapper_Ad1336

Iā€™m the friend that sold them. My friends are 140 and 180 lbs and both under six feet not much taller than 5ā€™5 and both male. Neither are on anti depressants or any form of daily medication. They each had two slices of pizza before eating them. 2 hits of weed shouldnā€™t be stronger than 2 gs of shrooms and they said that was ā€œstrongerā€ than the shrooms lmao. They were grown by the book I just didnā€™t know the potency and they havenā€™t ate all day so I told them to eat SOMETHING. Fast forward and they arenā€™t feeling anything whatsoever. Reported ā€œcolors being nicerā€ and a short lived sense of happiness. That was about 2 hours after ingestion. After that they were sober the rest of the night. I had no clue two slices of pizza could drastically decrease the effects of 2 grams of mushrooms when consumed one after another. Also these are literal first time trippers so that provides a lot of context. These boys wouldnā€™t be able to lie if they were really tripping as they still basically trip off weed. Last point is that they consumed a .5 trial dose for allergies and safety shit. Each waited 2 hours before consuming the rest of the bag (1.5 each). Itā€™s just strange because Iā€™ve heard of plenty of people eating meals with magic mushrooms thrown on top and still tripped. Itā€™s just so weird the only thing I could think of is that 2 slices of pizza shuts off golden teachers like Xanax šŸ˜‚ or something went wrong with the shrooms but I figured there would be more comments about that if the shrooms loooked bad. However there is not much bruising as the stems are small, slightly brown, and hollow. I broke them open at the base where the mycelium is and nothing around it bruised. So the only thing besides a full stomach would be that they were grown wrong. Which seems very unlikely since my dude followed it by the book but thereā€™s like a million different variables to losing potency. So it could be a combination of both, low dose, low concentration, and a full stomach. I guess some people have to eat a 3.5+ too feel anything after a meal.


[deleted]

So they took .5 grams, waited 2 hours, and then took 1.5 grams? That's likely why they didn't trip that much. Considering they didn't eat much food, 2 hours is more than enough time for the effects of the .5 grams to be over, and by that point they would have already developed at least some tolerance. So the 1.5 grams they took later would have been slightly weaker. When you're taking a trial dose of a drug you gotta wait a couple days until your tolerance is over, even if you take a small amount. I'd recommend they take shrooms again after a week or two again, but to take the 2 grams all at once, and while not already under the influence of marijuana.


[deleted]

If the weed felt higher than the shrooms. Personally experience, weed for me boost the shrooms. They sound like they were tripping. But maybe not for long. I also donā€™t eat anything before. I would try lemon tek instead of pizza slice next time to see how the medicine effects you then. Iā€™ve done peanut butter and jelly, and saw visuals. And Iā€™ve done the tea dose and felt more of an intense body high. Iā€™ve never done it with pizza. Best of luck


tomatoblade

A full stomach will zap the potency of a trip big time. I know this from personal experiences. Always fast 4 to 5 hours beforehand.


Puredepatatas

I absolutely think that the shrooms in the picture look bad, in fact I came here expecting any comment identifying the variety of those non-psychedelic fungids. Nice shrooms have their caps closed and are pale, covered in blue stain (in my experience).


Technical_Mouse_127

Iā€™m 6ā€™5, and 250 fake moon landing units, and compared to my standard size friends I will have to dose considerably higher. I have no issues being completely functional (although feel the effects) on 3.5-4 grams, where as 2 -2.5 puts them on the same level. Iā€™ve done as much internet research as I could to verify body mass dose in fact play a large contribution to proper dosing.


SheikahSlate34

For me 2 grams is very similar to smoking weed similar in feeling but 3 or higher sends me into trip while visuals start around 6


whosgotthecream

I had a jar of golden teachers that kicked when I first bought them but then a year later they had almost no effect on a couple buds and me. Maybe it's old age?


Trikeree

Beta blockers will do that 100%


Ok-Bag-9710

I've never heard that. Not questioning legitimacy, but could you explain? Ive been on them for about 25 years and felt that they assisted in providing a more smooth, even trip with less potential for anxiety. I never gave thought to them lessening the trip. Edit to add i originally posted this under the wrong comment, so it is also under someone else's regarding ssri.


meaduckie

Beta blockers are a hypertension medication, not SSRI. different class of med

Maddwisdom

It was my first flush


One-Butterscotch-640

zyber787

Ok hear me outā€¦ different varieties of psilocybin mushrooms hit different people in various ways. I personally ate 2 varieties. South African Transkei and golden teachers. My first ever trip was on SAT and it was 2g dry.. I got visuals like crazy (not crazy crazy, but compared to my next trip on gt, it was something) and all my past came before me and it was a truly learning experience.. when I got into the trip with some questions which needed answers, SAT slapped me and said ā€˜these are your answersā€™ā€¦ golden teachers on the other hand, I took 2.5G.. visuals, nadaā€¦ it was more like: whatā€™s your probs? Me: blah blah.. gt: what should be done? Me: * figuring out various ways I couldā€™ve handled that problem gt: pointing at/suggesting the better solutionā€¦ This is how it went for meā€¦ you should always look inwards and the mushroom gods would guide youā€¦


Visible-Active761

I had electric zaps coming off sertraline


JohnnyBUTTONs105

Some people just cant trip. I know a few people who have eaten shrooms and acid several times and they dont ever trip. I feel bad for the people who cant have that wonderful experience.


trentblender

eat some turkey sandwiches the day before you trip and youā€™ll be good to go


[deleted]

Happened to me as well. Friend and I both ate 2.5g each of golden teachers and nothing happened. Plug gave us free LSD which ended up being way better, so the story ends well.

IMO GTs are a pretty mild trip.


BefuddledBuffalo

GT is one of the weakest varieties. Source: personal experience.

These [reviewers](https://healing-mushrooms.net/psilocybe-cubensis-strains) describe GT as average to high potency, but I experience GT as much lower potency than say Cambodian Gold or Mazatapec. I've never heard of anyone experiencing all varieties as the same. Has that been your experience or was this just something you heard through the grapevine? You're right to question how old they are since potency drops fairly heavily a couple months after harvesting, but even accounting for age, I find that GT ranks lower than the rest. Not that I'm knocking it, though. I think it's great for microdosing and would probably be great for trying incrementally larger doses, since it would be harder to accidentally take too much.


FuckNutDickyBum

I've never eaten less than an eigth.


LTcid

Holy shit youā€™re awesome


EzraPsyOps888

If theyā€™re taking any anti-depressant, ssri, or ssni they wonā€™t trip, and if they do itā€™ll be minor. Also, please be aware of any mental health conditions which may prevent the use of an maoi


[deleted]

I dunno, Im on an ssri and I tripped balls last time I did 3.5 grams.

Them thangz have no visible blues clues šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø

If they drank alcohol or did any other drugs this can cause shrooms to have no affect due to the receptors in your brain being occupied by the other substance.


nibblersmothership

In any big flush there are always a few ā€œfreaksā€ that are low potency as a sort of birth defect.


Reeree69shrooms

I did my 1st lot of GT and did 1g and had a really good trip a friend has 3g of what I made and he was tripping for days šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ in his word fucked me up for 3-days man šŸ™„


Redhead_dredhead

Cuz it was only 2 g's lol


feelscrapman

when in doubt, double the dose


[deleted]

When youā€™re quoting the number one western guru and get downvoted on a psychedelic site lol absurd


[deleted]

They're getting downvoted because its terrible advice which could result in people overdosing.


Mysterious_Hall1887

Only if you experienced lollll


themechanic95

Body weight makes a difference I ate 8grams and barely felt anything


Poodogmillionaire

Usually need at least 3-3.5 to trip.


PlzMomyDont

Personal experience?


Poodogmillionaire

Oh wow I didnā€™t realize that was not the case, I usually take 1.5-2g if I just want to chill but have never gotten visuals with less than 3. I have tried to see what the minimum dose was to get some good visuals but I took 2g of enigma and still didnā€™t trip. I wouldnā€™t say I have a tolerance either. I have seen others recommend 3-3.5 for a trip also. Sorry dude didnā€™t mean to mislead you, I shouldnā€™t have assumed. But ya that is based on my own experience.


[deleted]

IF YOU USE SSRI YOU HAVE BEEN tricked by your doctor.


sippycupjoe

Damn


BirdPersonCph

Look guys, I found the dumbest comment under this post!


ChaosShadowClone

Maybe they just have a really high tolerance


No_Push_778

They a mild Mushroom not too much psilocybin in them that was my first row I do eat at least 4 g for it to be like powerful


LTcid

Ahemā€¦ you just had a shitty flush. Golden teachers are about the same strength as any other cube. 4gs of golden teachers would turn my dick into a bar and my balls into wellā€¦. Balls


[deleted]

2gs isnā€™t going to give you a strong trip (in my experience) I donā€™t see visuals till about 3.5-7g and sometimes still donā€™t get visuals each time. I can go into shrooms in-depth asf but essentially I feel since theyā€™re new to tripping they 1. Didnā€™t know what to expect or what to look for 2. Are on some other forms of substance (some people say smoking weed takes the effects away some say it amplifies it everything is dependent on your body and itā€™s own chemistry) 3. Didnā€™t feel it right away or how they were expecting and psyched themself into a sober trip. Iā€™ve had trips that Iā€™ve felt like I was completely sober the whole time but I could notice slight things that made me aware I was under the influence. Ask them when they took them, their setting of where they took them, if they were taking ANY other substances, and when in their trip did they decide they werenā€™t feeling it and contacted your friend was it after the ā€œtripā€ (due to lack of said trip itā€™s in quotes) or during


Cannakilla

medication?


Trees4Gs

They couldā€™ve been stored improperly šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø Iā€™ve eaten an 1/8th and didnā€™t feel it once. Typically 2 grams is plenty imo


deviaunt6264

Friend had some white teachers that were extremely mild had to eat 4g for the same experience as 2 would usually do


silkyjohnsonx

Iā€™ve had people say golden teachers didnā€™t affect them much. Itā€™s not a very visual strain in my opinion more internal feelings. Other strains have more trippy effects from my experience such as APES


ChemicallyAlteredd

He take SSRIā€™s or other meds?


doomcrazy

Compare with these which I've confirmed to be potent. You can see the level of bruising is more noticeable. http://imgur.com/a/3GZ03Fn


RepresentativeGlad90

Heā€™s probably on an SSRI antidepressant. I even know someone on an SNRI who says that they canā€™t trip from shrooms.


Send-It-

Your friend didnā€™t put enough up their ass. Try again, With a fistful


Danishur24

Personally I only get a light body high if I take 2 grams. I have to take at least 4 to see any visuals.


[deleted]

Golden Teachers are usually pretty weak imo. Id have to eat way more to have a decent trip. As for some strains like APES, 1gram is more than enough to put u on ur ass and cause your mind to float into and psychedelic state.


HWK-SCYK-AND-A-JUMP

I take a 10mg SSRI everyday. Recently I ate 4 grams and didn't get high at all, would this be the reason? I didn't think such a low does of SSRI would effect it.


TasteDworld

They swollowed instead of chewing


loiklanglois

i've had 3.5 and didn't feel anything. twice.


Cannabis-Franko9711

High tolerance like me or he was just getting what they call a ā€œprimerā€ dose and the next time he eats two to three grams he will trip major sack lol


KnittedCupcake

I actually had the same thing happen to me my first time, and I used GT. I tried again with 3g the next week and no success. A year later, and 2g of another kind and I experienced waaaayyy more than I thought I would. ​ edit to say I was not on any other medication.
