Preparing for my trip - 5g of dried shrooms

[KaRzual]

Hey guys. 

I've got plenty of experience with shrooms, however it was small doses (around 2-3 grams). 

Last time i took shrooms they weighted 4,5g dried. I had MASSIVE realizations, i suffered really hard during the trip. I re-lived many of my trauma and cried a lot.

This time i'm wondering what could i expect from 5/5,5g dose. Will it be much different? 

I've heard a few times before that doses over 5g provide sensation of ego death, but i can't really wrap my head around what that would really mean. Unbearable suffering that gives clarity and enlightement?

I'm curious to hear your about your experiences.

@KaRzual 5 gr between 6 gr will have huge differences. Be careful. Fresh lemon, dark chocolate, darkness and silence is the key for the realization.

@James123 , if I may chip in here. Please explain about the lemon and chocolate.

I have been sent 2 g of Psilocybe Serbica - a powerful and ancient species found by a friend from a forest in Germany.  Could you please advise which way would be best to enhance their effect?

[James123]

@Demeter i used  psilocybe cubensis. I have no idea how potent shrooms that you have. Just search how potent psilocybe cubensis are and compare them. 
 

Lemon makes you easy to digest shrooms with acid and you can get full shot of shrooms (no waste).  And dark chocolate is good for happiness hormone, boosts your consciousness and prevents for draining of body for long trip.

@James123 Chocolate also contains an MAOI, which potentiates and prolongs your trip and can lead to blackout (anecdotally. Happened to my friend recently). I don't like you recommending it without mentioning that part about MAOIs.

For an example see this story https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychonaut/comments/5va3yt/raw_cacao_mushrooms_holy_fuck_the_aztecs_knew_how/

Cool. 

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is a powerful pro tip. Last time i tried it it helped me much in case of digestion.

@flowboy i didn’t see anything about the blackout in the link. He talks about trip gets so stronger when you consume cocoa. Thats not what you need? It must wipe you out completely. When you become Tao for 4 hours straight and total trip 15 hours straight, thats what the real psychedelic trip is. But if you are not ready to let go completely (everything), you are fucked  specially when cacao mixed with fresh lemon

Although this happened not much more then a week ago I cannot say much about it. Largely because it was ineffable, but also because -- more importantly -- the peak of the experience nearly took the character of a 3-4 hour blackout. This was not a blackout characteristic of one that would be induced by alcohol, rather, it was more like a total and complete disfiguring of the human personality/ego/sense of self and all the normal mental apparatuses that keep us feeling like normal human beings with all our everyday mental capacities.

Well, since the normal trip duration is 5-8 hours, don't you think you should be careful and explicit about recommending something that will make it 15 hours? I imagine that can be quite jarring to happen unexpectedly. I understand the impulse to inspire people to go as deep as you enjoyed to go, but if they did not expect or want to, it can be traumatizing and turn people off psychedelics for a long time.

Besides, OP is already upping his dose. I wouldn't recommend scaling up in multiple ways at a time.

Or do, if you want to, but you should have all the information. My friend who is quite experienced with shrooms drank a harmala potion given to her without proper explanation, before they drank the lemon shroom tea, and she had a terrible time, not knowing who she was and losing the concept of time for several hours, because she didn't know it was going to do that.

Between 2-3 grams?

Shroom teas are usually uncontrollable and unreliable . You really need to be pro to prepaer whatever the density you want. Cacao and lemon helps to sweat easy, get rid of toxic of shrooms and get the total impact in 1 time. Thats how i got perfect results from shrooms.

@James123  I'll try it some time. Being informed about the MAOI's in it, and all I won't take more than I've ever done before and add cocoa, but I'd be curious what it does.

Be careful. It will expand you so quickly   good luck.
