Hey all, I’m going to a party (small quiet get-together) this weekend. There will be some options at our “potluck” evening, but I’ve decided on mushrooms. I need some help from you wonderful people to have a better experience.

This will be my 4th time with mushrooms and it’s going to be more than I’ve done before (last time was 3g at 9pm and 3g at 11pm). I got a pleasant high, but I never got past the nausea. I haven’t gotten hardly any visual effects or anything like what people describe. I’m VERY resistant to intoxicants (I have to do more than any of my friends to get any reaction at all) and numbing agents (dentists can’t give me enough XYZ-cain to numb me so I feel everything). So it’s already difficult for me to get high.

My first three experiences were wildly different. First was 3g with MDMA a half hour later plus a MDMA re-up a while later. Excellent night, no complaints. I had some catharsis, but no real result. Second was bad. I had 2.5g at the start and at the re-up. I got paranoid and was mostly uncomfortable and unable to communicate that. The third time was good. Pleasant high, but not much more than if I have three good THC gummies.

I want this next experience to be life-changing and cathartic. I’ve had a LOT go wrong this year and very little go well/right. I want the hallucinations and visual effects people rant about. I want to cry (I have literally cried twice in my adult life). I want something life-changing. I want that sort of experience.

I think I’ve decided to bring my headphones and weighted blanket and just drift away to music that will give me the right tone for the experience. Recommendations for something different are encouraged!

Questions:

1. Given my resistance and my goals, how much should I take? All at once or some plus re-upping?

2. Is my music and weighted blanket plan good? What music do you recommend?

3. Any other suggestions or advice?

Tl;dr: I have questions for my next mushroom trip. Advice?
