I'm planning a trip into a'dam end of Nov. Have never taken shrooms. Since they will become illegal i would like to try them before the ban comes into effect. How do i go about it? Which type do you suggest. I plan to take them in the privacy of my hotelroom. Should i be concerned about tryin' a fly outta the window....? Or should i just steer clear of it?

make sure someone is around who keeps an eye on you, thats the most important thing

well, unless i look in the miror, that's gonna get tough,... so you tellin' me not to do it then?

btw.... what does it feel like anyway?..... i mean to hallucinate.... i'm curious.

Yeah, I'd make sure you've got a "travel agent" (sober companion) and a place to chill.

it really depends on what kind of person you are.

If you know how to control your feelings and are a pretty balanced person you should be ok...it really depends on many different factors..

i find if you can handle losing control for a bit and manage to get it back u will be fine... do u drink ? if so are u the guy who doesnt know his limits?? if so i would steer clear of the shrooms.. i find people who are more in touch with there limits and what they like and dont like when it comes to getting fucked up have a better chance of feeling good and having a more positive and controlled high...

the only thing tips i can give u would be , if u start getting too fucked up, have a shower, brush your teeth , and just plain ol freshin up.. drink some juice etc... u may want to try and do some things that would occupy your time, as sitting staring at the wall tripping balls on shrooms may not be the most fun thing to do...although depending on ur state of mind, that may be the most fun thing you do all night! haha...

i would say in all my times doing mushrooms , doing them in amsterdam have been some of my best trips.. and i did them alone twice on my last trip... had a blast both times! but even being with one other person (who either is tripping with u or sober as can be) is still much more fun, as long as that person doesnt get on ur nerves...and dont let the sketch take control... there are some moments during your high you will feel that this exact situation or moment in time is not where you are "supposed to be" .. and you may have to change situations or scenario's for you to feel "comfortable"

and remember they come in waves... lol sometimes even in loops... its fun as hell

haha

Well put cheese, I couldn't agree more. Although I have yet to trip in A'dam. I've tripped many times on LSD and shrooms. The only thing I would raise is how to determine if you are that kind of person who candle it. The part about taking a shower, etc. acutally makes sense, as humans are creatures of habit and by involving yourself in routine tasks will help settle yourself back to normalcy.

I agree with cheese, but even if you are a balanced person and know your limit you shouldnt do your first trip without a sober person who looks over you. maybe try to get some shrooms there where you live and try it with a friend so you know how it feels and if you can control it.

well, by sober I mean you are not on drugs like shrooms/lsd or w/e, means they can control themselves

hope hepistaxis listens to this advice!
if you dont bring any friend at least try to ask in a good rated smart-shop that they let you trip in their rooms, maybe they let you chill in the staff-room or something, I have no idea if this is possible, but I have made the experience that people working in the coffeeshops/smartshops are really friendly to people who ask for their advice, so try it

Concious Dreams will let ya trip inside their shop.

ive only done shrooms once in dam,

i would go for mexicans if i were you, they are the lightest ones ( that i know of) and i still had an awesome time and just was not expectin what came!!

it freaked my friend out, but so long as your willing to accept that your losing control you should be fine, i would recommend someone who is not tripping, we had someone who hadnt eaten her whole mushroom pot noodle lol, so not totally sober but she could deal with the guy who started to freak a bit.

we did it in the hotel room, pushed all the beds together ( apart from one, that became spain.....long long long story ha ha) but it was sorta like a safe place so it was good.


have fun with em, oh and just rememeber it will end, thing ive heard most people get freaked about is they worry it will never end, cos the concept of time is just fucked when on shrooms. ( i couldnt work out what a tomorrow was if that makes sense ha ha)

Hey Rookie-
In a word: DON'T. It's people like you who don't know what they're doing and OD and end up getting shrooms banned by the Dutch authorities.

Vit C is your best friend.... OD on Vit C and you'll level out in no time. Keep a tub handy..... about 1 gram will do it..... that's about 10 tablets.

Wash em down with some fruit juice for good measure.
