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!

This is very good advice

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.

Yes, nature is your friend with shrooms. This is great advice op, listen to Roadkill.

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.

A place to discuss the growing, hunting, and the experience of magical fungi.

Primarily concerned with psilocybin containing mushrooms, but all psychoactive species are welcome.
