I’m thinking about trying shrooms for the first time, I just want to know if it’s okay to try for the first time alone or not?

    I wouldn’t, it’s always helpful to trip with a friend who’s done it before and ideally is sober too. A responsibilibuddy if you will. Helps you have a good time and to talk it through with someone.

    Also, mushrooms can be strong, and take a while to kick in (1 hour usually for me), so pace yourself and start small. Don’t do the classic blunder of saying “this isn’t working, I better take more”.

    Happy tripping!

      I agree, start small (0.75 - 1.25gm) even 0.5gm can be fun and not overwhelming, more like a subtle shift that is cool but not too demanding. If you are going over a gram have someone you are super comfortable with to help you deal with situations. Beaches and forrests are cool, stay away from drunk people.

      Have fun.

    I’d recommend a trip sitter but if you absolutely can’t find one, start with a very low dose. Like 0.5-1g. It’s a more “dip your toes into the water” dose than a standard 3.5g one and will give you the feel of it without going off the deep end :)

    Especially for your first time, I would recommend you have someone with you. If you decide to do it alone, start with a very small dose to get familiar with the euphoria, and then maybe a few days later try a higher dose.
