Our liberty cap season starts on a couple of months. Can a 50 something, unfit males body, endure a trip on a rocketship. asking for a friend?

[@emperorjames]

@@Wigan_Joker I can’t really speak for anyone else, but what I would say is most people will do well to start with a small dose (1gram) and see how it goes, while following my mushroomchecklist.com guidance 🙏

[@budmanman3998]

Hey James I’m very thankful for you and your channel. Today I took my first real trip. I’m 39 years old and own a business and do very well. Lately I’ve been pretty depressed and have been drinking heavily. I came across some videos on micro-dosing and have been micro-dosing for a while but I still drink at night. Not good. I woke up this morning and went to my office then met with some clients and went back to my office around 11am and told my wife that I have a drinking problem and I’m sad. I told her I would be going home and doing a real trip. Don’t call me I’m putting my phone on airplane mode. I took .5 grams and 2 minutes later I said “fuck it I’m taking 2 grams” so I ended up taking 2.5 grams and covered my eyes and listened to your mushroom playlist. I tried doing it inside but got a little scared so I took my big speaker into my backyard and laid under the sun looking up at the trees and clouds. It was the most beautiful experience and I think it was because I followed your advice and listened to your playlist. I feel amazing now. I started my trip around 12pm and finished by 5pm. I stayed outside the whole time looking up. I felt like god was with me the whole time. It was amazing. I felt I was in the jungle with nature. My wife came home around 6 and she found me outside still 🤣. I explained to her how beautiful it was. I personally think tripping by myself is what I needed. I want to do it again next week maybe 4 grams. Thanks James for everything 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

[@shanecolley7693]

Sir hello, if you want to use less mush and have an more intense trip. Theres a seed called Syrian Rue (Wild Rue) it is similar to the synthesis of DMT when mixed with Psilo. Look up something called Psiloausca

[@CarlosFandango73]

This is very useful thanks. You are the first person who has specified that the 1g 3g etc are dried shrooms not raw.

[@Peter-zq8pw]

Hey James, I just had my first experience with golden teacher today with a good friend of mine as a trip sitter and it was an amazing experience. And a lot of the things you said were very true so I wanted to also say thank you to you for providing educational and insightful videos about psychedelics. As you said the first trip is quite foundational, I want to give credit to you for helping me build that foundation

[@emperorjames]

Thank you! I appreciate that Peter! Glad to have helped, and happy to hear that it was an amazing experience for you!

Thank you James! Glad it's helpful. Are you getting into psychedelics? Let's connect on a call - would be happy to share more with you on what helped me in my journeys.

[@georgeorwell7850]

That's an epic transcendent shirt man, really appreciate the colours and shapes.. where did you get it? Great content and cheers from the Welsh border. We have some of the strongest and ancient psilocybin wizard caps in the world. our soil is dark, rich and old....you don't need much to get in touch with the druids. I'm lucky as they grow at the top of my lane where the sheep graze. tens and thousands of them sprout up late October. Unlimited magical supply!

Never done shrooms before. Gonna try it today, hopefully it takes me to Pluto instead

[@nemesisnichols5381]

I started with 1g and worked my way up to 3g (golden teachers),however, I felt the most introspection at 1 and 2g. My 3g trip was not a “bad trip” but it was very overwhelming (visual and sensory) but not enough to see defined visuals. I now have APEs and don’t know where to start. How do you gain so much insight from higher trips w/o feeling overwhelmed. Love your videos

[@JacobLaCour]

Dosage does matter. Recently took 6-7gs thinking I needed more than the last time, which was 4gs 3 days before. I went through the sickest trip ever. I literally was out for a couple hours, then when I came to, I could barely talk and communicate to my spouse. I was literally tripping balls when they kicked in, which took around 10min. The effects were so insane I had to lay down and that’s when I was out of this world. I can’t say I enjoyed the heroic dose because, I only remember before I laid down and after when I came back to reality. Never took a hit like that before, but oh boy was it an experience!

[@Patriotsoftwash]

About a month ago I ate 3 grams of JMF and watched hours of Family Guy. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. Non stop crying laughing. Best night I had in a long time

[@paulflur4519]

Also, doing it too much will make it boring. Paul Stamets only does it 2 times a year typically he said. I’m more like monthly. More than that will take the magic away.

[@zelowatch30]

I love you daddy. Thank you for bringing enlightenment to my world. I also believe it was destined I watch this video as I trip. ❤ 😂

[@stephenkent1102]

Hi James, I'm enjoying the videos and the way you speak of the relationship with the shrooms and the spiritual aspects. I'm wondering if the trips are related to the weight of the user? As it's acting on the brain I'm thinking it isn't? Thanks

[@emperorjames]

In my anectodal experience, weight does matter (i.e. a smaller person will likely require a lesser dose than someone bigger).

[@ΚωνσταντίνοςΦουντής-φ2χ]

Thank you for the quality informations!If i take by tea that is kicking faster, would it be better to redose at 40 minutes instead of one hour?

[@r3conwoo]

It's been ages since I last tripped in the 90's, and shrooms are hard to come by where I am, so I'm growing my own. They're just starting to fruit, and I'm hoping they'll be ready for the full solar eclipse next month, or maybe even sooner. It's going to be an epic experience, but I guess I'll start with a 1g to 3g dose to see how I feel. Thanks for the tip!

[@emperorjames]

🙏 ✨ Let me know how it goes!

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

How did it go?

[@thomasfox7468]

I feel like 2g is the perfect place to start personally. I don’t like low doses though so idk. 😂

[@desertweasel6965]

3.5 is probably where everyone should start. It introduces people more to what mushrooms do. 1 or 2 grams doesn't take you to that " Place".

[@heyheysaturday2492]

I took 4g but there was one time I experienced tremors and I cannot hold an item I felt weak is this something I need to be aware & it takes half a day before my body goes back to normal without having this feeling weak

[@MOAON_AABE]

Is there any difference between 5 grams or above??? For ex 5 vs 7g vs10g??? Assuming all shrooms are the exact same

[@paulflur4519]

Mushrooms are so wide in variations in strength, and since most are gotten from the grey market, without testing yourself, there’s no way of knowing. I’ve tripped harder off 2 grams than 12 all without much tolerance. Be careful.

[@locdasmoke]

I had a trip last night like the one you describe at 11 minutes and I took a little more, but it was after the 1 hour mark, so it didn't intensify. I ended up smoking some herb on top of it, but I never truly blasted off. So dosage really does matter, I'm just careful because I've had a couple scary trips, so I'm a little afraid of losing my ego all together, but last night, I kind of wanted to blast off. Oh well, next time I know what to do.

[@ashirmalik2310]

Howd it go

[@locdasmoke]

@@ashirmalik2310 it went good

[@markc3197]

Look I’m not trying to tell you what to do but mushrooms are like training wheels for LSD or DMT and really mescaline is the best IMO

[@Hysteresis11]

7g seems to be the threshold of diminishing returns for me.

[@ruger6049]

I've tried everything and cannot get passed the very sore stomach and being nauseous. Any ideas would be most helpful. This 60+ ol' man needs this big trip.

[@Anne_Onymous]

Grind it up with a weed grinder, squeeze 1/3rd of a lemon, soak the product in the lemon juice for 15-20 mins, strain it with a cloth, add the juice into some ginger tea, then drink it on an empty stomach.

[@monicagaleana9362]

Hi James. You helped me several months ago before I went to experience Grandmother Aya in Ecuador. The shaman only gave me 1/2 doses because of my openness to the Spirit world and I still didn't come out of the experience until about 36 hours later when others were done after 6. I still wanted to "stretch" more and started micro dosing for only about a month on 100mg. The effect was a little feeling out of body but nothing more. I would like to see where the Spirit of the psyloybin can take me. Im afraid but not afraid if you know what i mean... what dose would you recommend? I plan to check out the checklist but you helped before... hoping you can again... just don't know what to expect...i guess we never do really🍄😊

[@parthsarvaiya4316]

Hey James, I really want to do a heroic dose. But I'm also really scared to face myself on the heroic dose. I am afraid to face my fears and just thought of a bad trip is making me even more scared to take it. I know that because i am not my authentic self,have a lot of work to d, anda lott of things are suppressed within me. But I also feelthat, to get out of this constant cycl, i need to face everything directly for which shrooms would be the best tool and will help me break my pattern. Please guide me on this.

[@emperorjames]

Is this your first trip? If so, why not start with a small dose and work your way up to a higher dose? You'll develop a relationship with the mushrooms and your fears about facing yourself on the trip will naturally fade away (you may even become excited at the prospect of diving deeper into yourself).

[@parthsarvaiya4316]

@@emperorjames I have had 2 trips before this, and I feel like I really need to get a higher dose.

[@emperorjames]

​@@parthsarvaiya4316 Ah ok. I think some degree of nervousness before a big trip is totally normal. There's a big element of trust and surrender with any trip, but especially a higher dose one. It may help to have a trip sitter for a big trip, so that you know someone's watching out for you.

[@CarlaHowatt]

What about a therapeutic dose for depression. Is it necessary to reach the point of it being ‘psychedelic’?

[@emperorjames]

You can try microdosing and see what results you have. For me, doing deep trips once in a while has been very profound.

[@steveoTHEGREAT]

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HOW ANTIDEPRESSANTS DULL YOUR EXPERIENCE ALOT.

It's highly advisable NOT to do any psychedelics if you are also on any SSRI's. I believe I mentioned it in another video about preparation.

Thai pink buffalo, any experience with those? Its been 3 years since my last l s d trip and 5 since my last shroom. Should I go into those like a newbie?

[@emperorjames]

I haven’t tried that strain! Go into it with some caution re: dose, but since you already have experience, that’s going to really help you navigate the trip. And remember the 1-hour redosing tip if you don’t feel much after 1 hour.

[@brandonalbright125]

@emperorjames will do, much appreciated. Just Waiting on the right time.

[@desertweasel6965]

I have taken Pink Buffalos and they are a Cubensis and a Cubensis is a Cubensis. All cubes are the same. You may have more luck with the genetics and the way it is grown. That will only change the intensity, but all cubes are pretty much the same. I've done Cambodians, Mazapecs, Porta Ricans, Albino A+, Orissa, Golden Teachers and so on. They all pretty much did the same at 3.5 grams.
