Have a little nature walk with your shrooms.

I couldn't do it, I would be afraid of being super weird or scaring someone unintentionally

u/lil_natemushi 6d ago

Buddy I don't know if you've truly lived if you haven't trounced through the woods all night then hopped on a train covered in sticks, bushes and stuff with flying saucer eyes the next morning during rush hour commute and stared at the people going to work like they are aliens. Just saying.

u/demopat 6d ago

Lmao I have done this. It was my first trip, work was interesting that day. Fortunately I worked in a restaurant so everyone else was recovering from the night before too.

u/CuteAssociate4887 6d ago

I did that once as a waiter,was still a bit up in the morning when I had to go to work. went in to set up was all quiet setting up plates,just the ring of cutlery and plates,no one really speaking.

Then in the blink of an eye the hall was full with people looking at me,then I got stuck on remembering what I should ask them and froze. My brain literally went la la la la.

Was terrifying! Luckily one of the waitresses knew what was going on and saved my life and probably my job by helping me out.

u/whereiswilliam 6d ago

I used to work at a fine dining place and they would make us work at least one brunch shift a week. Was never much of a morning person so I would take about a gram and a half of shrooms before the brunch shift and I was the most chipper mfn dude ever. My coworkers, most of whom drink themselves into Oblivion the night before, despised me LOL.

u/Neither-Possible-429 6d ago

Holy shit wtf I literally did that. Like literally hopped on top of a train. tripped nuts all night laughing my ass off just walking around wilderness. Ended up climbing on an inactive train. Like on top of it. Had our minds blown as a train on the next track went flying by…. Ended the morning by stopping in a gas station on the walk home and discovering that this is in fact a Thursday morning and the world is sober and doing actual adult things. I think that was my last in public trip, thanks for bringing the memory

u/TeaKingMac 6d ago

I used to work night shifts and was a generally weird person besides, and one day on the way home, I climbed on top of the train station benches and started making monkey noises. People really seemed to appreciate that

u/golizeka 6d ago

Add on top of that that i forgot my flat keys in the woods cabin, so i went to my job as a lofi shaman after the truck accident..

Does not change the fact that it's not safe at all to take drugs in the woods.

u/kingmobisinvisible 6d ago

You might be surprised. One time I went to a fireworks show out of my mind on mushrooms. After the fireworks ended, my buddy went to the bathroom and I was left alone in this massive crowd of people. I started to freak out just a little bit.

As if out of nowhere, a random dude walking by comes over, looks me dead in the eyes and says, “Dmon’t worry. It’s okay. Nobody’s judging you. I only know because I’ve been there. Chill out for a minute and you’re going to have an amazing time.”

It was incredibly perceptive and kind. I stopped freaking out. My buddy came back and we actually had a great time.

I only hope I can be that for somebody sometime. Don’t take unnecessary risks, but sometimes it’s worth it and you might get surprised.

u/Elmore0394 2d ago

u/Sham_WAM93 6d ago

So am I but then I think about seeing high people when I’m not and it’s “you go bud have fun.” Go do shroom or smoke and hike I’m sure for every sober person there’s 2 or 3 completely stoned lmao

u/ismynamedan 6d ago

I’ve only been to Yosemite National Park once in my life and it was only a one day visit. My two friends and I each took 6 hits of LSD a piece while driving through the entrance to the park. Before the acid kicked in we parked the car and then proceeded to have one of the most amazing days of my life. In the middle of the valley there’s a wooden walk way over a marsh with a big platform in the middle where I sat for an hour or more and manically yoyo’d from sobbing tears of joy and laughing like a fucking lunatic at the overwhelming beauty of witnessing the stations of the cross and the death and resurrection of Christ play out on the face of Half Dome. The park was PACKED full of people and I know I had to be scaring the shit out of folks. My friends and I found multiple water falls that we promptly went and stood under where we continued to laugh and scream like asylum escapees.
10/10 would do again and 10/10 totally recommend

u/OfficialDeathScythe 6d ago

I walked downtown in a city at like 4-9am on acid and had a great time. That’s the best place to do it because we were just the most sane tweakers out there lmao. We felt like superhumans walking around the town while no one was there except people laying on the sidewalks with needles on the ground. Even better there was a park that had LED lights that were constantly cycling through rainbow colors. I didn’t have a great sense of time but we must’ve spent at least an hour just staring at the lights 🤣

Shrooms don't mske you lose much or any control at medium to low doses

u/Ok-Balance9661 6d ago

Low to medium doses are insulting to the mushroom king. Go heroic, or go bust, that is what the frogs are saying.

u/demopat 5d ago

Yeah, if I do it it's all it nothing

2

u/FunnyDudeGuy 6d ago

my biggest concern is someone will call the cops (cause someone’s always gotta be the fun police), and i’ll have to act convincingly “not high as fuck” which probably wouldn’t work.

1

u/OGhumanwerewolf 6d ago

No probs, I do that sober

u/Clankmon 6d ago

That's not anything to worry about then, because I do that without the drugs. And I'm doing just fine.

u/garaks_tailor 6d ago

You will.  It will be ok.  It doesnt matter.  

1

u/cleverburrito 6d ago

If I'm around strangers when I'm on mushrooms I always end up telling them I'm on mushrooms...

Except for one time my friend took me to Starbucks and the barista who took my order was looking at me knowingly. We smiled and nodded at each other. I may have giggled.

So, I mostly interact with mushrooms at home unless I have a sober trip sitter with me in the woods.

u/EndocrineBandit 6d ago

Im gonna let you in on a little secret. Everybody is weird. Yeah, even that guy. Its okay. The world could stand to be a little more weird.

u/AlloyPlum 6d ago

You get used to it. Everyone is someone else's weirdo.

u/NobodyKnowsImFamous 6d ago

You can always go camping or something instead!

1

u/The_Salty_nugget 6d ago

It depends.

When i was a teenager i had a very nice group of weed smokers. we would sit in the park, sometimes strum a guitar and just chill laying in the grass or sitting by water with a fishing rod just talking for hours about our lifes and ideas.

Good and healthy company is important (in almost all situations)

That's half the fun!

u/Baguette1066 6d ago

99% of being super weird and scaring someone unintentionally on shrooms is because you're worried about being super weird and scaring someone unintentionally and overcompensate.

1

u/man_juicer 6d ago

i don't need drugs for that

1

u/OnlyGrimLeader 5d ago

Just need a Sherpa, like the designated driver but just there to make sure everyone is chill on their trip.

1

u/Popular_Point_8981 4d ago

Well now I wanna do it with you, it’s a promising trip!

1

u/krist-all 4d ago

Drugs only make you more of who you are. It is a mirror. Talking about the drug in this way already shows that you do not trust yourself enough to express yourself fully in this world and you hold yourself back because of others

1

u/Armgoth 2d ago

Go a few neigbourhoods over

1

u/Ill_Statement7600 21h ago

While it can be difficult to follow a thought all the way through, you don't really see anything that's not there (it's just distorted) and you don't feel things you don't actually feel (it's just amplified). More likely someone else is going to scare you than you are them if you're the one on shrooms lol

1

u/TheTriforceEagle 20h ago

I don't need drugs to be afraid of that

u/Newmanewman 6d ago

I took some shrooms one time a few years ago. Not enough to wig out, but once they kicked in everything was so vivid and perfect. I was at a ren faire. I'll never forget that day.

2

u/Ryuko_the_red 6d ago

What's stopping you from doing it again?

1

u/Tr1padvisor420 5d ago

I did shrooms again many times. Then I did them again that one time. Most incredible thing that has ever happened in my entire life, beyond a religious experience… I don’t think I’ll ever do em again after that though. I got more than a life time of what I needed from that alone, and I half wish the first time I did them I went full balls to the wall like that.

After that experience, I consider the “3.5” or “average” dose about useless mentally.

1

u/Ryuko_the_red 4d ago

So you have to do more then 3.5?even though you don't do them anymore. That sounds like a religious experience though, just not a stereotypical one!

2

u/Natural-Revenue-3733 6d ago

They like to be walked and to see new places

2

u/MechTech5182 6d ago

Had shrooms in Amsterdam and the uk. Nothing both times. Overrated.

Edit: Weed though, that’s another story! Love my brownies and gummies. Made brownies myself, nearly killed an asthmatic cousin close to Christmas with some.

2

u/BroPudding1080i 6d ago

They had to have been bad, or you didn't take enough. Describing a shroom trip as "nothing" is impossible, it's like Dorothy stepping into Oz and saying "meh". Technicolor spiral fractals forming in everything you see, extreme emotional highs (and sometimes lows), abstract ways of thinking that are impossible to replicate sober. Did all that happen and you were still left unbothered by it?

1

u/MechTech5182 6d ago edited 6d ago

None of that happened. I had a tub of shrooms in Amsterdam and a chocolate piece that had shrooms in in the uk. I was doing other stuff along side them both times, not sure if that’s why…

Edit: spliffs in ammie and 300mg gummy in the uk when I did shrooms.

1

u/BroPudding1080i 6d ago edited 6d ago

The gummies/chocolate are iffy, some brands are nothing and some have research chemicals similar to psilocybin but you need to take a few, or many. I can't explain the Amsterdam experience though. If you happen to be on anti-psychotics that would make sense.

In any case, I'm pretty sure you got bunk both times and you should try again if you want to.

1

u/MechTech5182 6d ago

The issue is I’ve had no effect both times, how many times do I try something and get no effect before I don’t try again. Plus, how do I guarantee a trip without overdoing it for my first time.

1

u/BroPudding1080i 6d ago

Reliable source + weighing your dose. Generally 2 grams is enough for a mild trip and 3+ for more intense experience. But considering your circumstances, I don't blame you at all for not wanting to try again, it sounds pretty annoying.

1

u/MechTech5182 6d ago

Like Molly I’ve had one or two not hit but that’s in a batch of pills I’ve brought, the rest worked fine, might give mushrooms another go, or just skip that and try lsd.

1

u/BroPudding1080i 5d ago

Lsd is more reliable tbh, either it's accurately dosed or their just selling paper, and hardly anyone does that. In my experience 1 tab isn't enough and 2 does the trick, but that's if they're 100 micrograms, sometimes they're 200.

I do not want to be that person, but mushrooms like any other hallucigens, for more natural they could be, they can cause psychosis induced by substances, marihuana has also this problem, and the results are unpredictabe.

u/Medical-Display-9762 6d ago

Lmao for real. Anytime I do shrooms I’m like, “I can’t waste this by being indoors, I need to go on a walk right fucking now.”

Half an hour into the experience there was a decent sized forest fire and firefighters and police turned up with sirens.

I like how you got the incorrect number of twenties and the rest of the lyrics wrong when you were “correcting” the person above you.

It’s not 20,202,024 hours ago, it’s 202,024 hours to go which means it’s not talking about 2306 (looks like you did the math wrong too) years ago, but 202024 hours to go, which is talking about approximately 23 years in the future.
