Having the right preparation for your trip is essential!
You need to really take stock of what is going on internally (in your mind and body) and externally (in your immediate environment). This can make or break your trip!
In psychedelic circles, these are often referred to as your 'set' and 'setting'.
In this video I dive deep into what set and setting are and give a bunch of tips for each to best ensure you have a positive expeirence!!

Hi man! Thank you for the video. I have a question if you don’t mind..? I have a brain damage bc of too much benzodiazepines. I am 9 years free from that poison but still I have a lot of “pain” bc of it. I guess I have damaged my neurones so I can’t access gaba. At night time my bode feels like I’m connected to a power grid. Like electricity making my bode buzz and my skin hurt. I also still have cognitive damage ie problem with concentration. The first year was terrible with odour and sound hallucinations and it felt like slime was gliding over my skin. I am better now but as I said, I still have a lot of pain from it. My question to you is this. I have seen videos where they are saying that psilocybin can heal the brain and the neurones in the brain. Is there any truth to this. Best Regards Magnus

You forgot to mention that you need to start off with a low dosage, You don’t wanna be in a situation where you take a high dosage and end up having a bad trip cause you took too much. For your first experience you should probably ingest around 0.5 through 2 g of mushrooms and if you want to increase the dosage, get familiar with the substance first and see how you react to it and what your experience is before diving into 3 gs or higher, This pertains to any psychedelic or drugs you take be careful and have a safe and lovely trip my brothers and sisters!!!🙏🍄❤️

[@j1sefgwe]

hey.. i ended up taking 4 tabs my first time and woah. even thoe i was losing my mind being stuck in a constant loop of of reality and my trip. i had buddies over and we tripped on there terms and as soon as i popped my tab ik i was uncomfortable with the setting and just the people i tripped with and it turned in to me fighting my trip holding my best friend just scared i wasnt gonna be able to be real again. very scary but i see my self in the future doing mircrodoses on my own terms and thoughts. my mind

[@EDVDompteur]

@DMTEntity88 It right, but if you write: "you should probably ingest around 0.5 through 2 g of mushrooms" then I have to add some words to it. 1) There is a difference between fresh and dryed mushrooms. You dosage is for dryed. 2) Very important: It depends much from the sort of mushrooms. For the usual (weak) Psilocybe cubensis your dosage is correct (for dryed Mushrooms). But if you take the much stronger Psilocybe cyanescens, then will 2 g MUCH TOO MUCH to call it a "low dosage"! 0,5 g Psilocybe cyanescens can still be called a moderate dosage. 0,7 g to 0,8 g are better to be experienced in bed. 1g dryed Psilocybe cyanescens is already a very strong dosage. You can already call it "heroic". Not to speak about 2 g ... And more than that: 2 g cyanescens are already on the edge to be dangerous! Because this particular species (as all on wood growing psilos) can cause the so called "WLP" - a potential dangerous paralysis of your muscles that can last some hours longer then the trip itself. - Google for it (if I write it out, KZbin will censor my post). So be warned; you can't give advices about dosages if you not mention at least these two points. And NEVER go over 2 g with Psilocybe cyanescens! The WLP can even kill you, if your heart or lung is affected by the paralyses. . I've never experienced a WLP with dosages in the region of 1 g. But in the very heroic dosage of 2 g I experienced it four times and it was no fun. . Psilocybe cubensis (and B+ and all the other variants, based on cubensis) are in this sense "safe", but also three to five times weaker. They can't cause a WLP, no matter how much you take, so there is no real danger from them in this sense. . The real benefit from the Psilocybe cyanescens (apart from the dangerous WLP) is that you need only a low dosage. I would say, take maximal 1 g (but definitely not more than 2 g!). If 1 g is not strong enough for a "real man", then better put the much safer cubensis on top of this 1 g, to avoid a WLP. In the sum you need less mushrooms then if you would take nothing else then cubensis. (Some guys can't bear the bad taste of all psilo species, they will appreciate the much stronger cyanescens, so that the can have good results with a smaller dosage.) . Again my urgent warning (so that KZbin doesn't censor my post): a WLP is a real physical danger, that all (and only) on wood growing psilos can cause. On gras or grains growing psilos on the other hand, doesn't have this effect, they are - in this sense - safe. But they are also much weaker. - Be warned about the dangers, always be safe!

Even bad experience is extremely important. Sometimes you need to face whatever it brings and learn from it. It can be nightmare, but it is shown for you for a reason . I ve seen places where I was prior to current biological cycle. And I we seen few times I died before, and what comes after biological death. As experience it is extremely frightening but once you go over it, it is a gift from universe to see.

Something I've found that can help pull you out of a uncomfortable spot in a trip is asking the psychedelic why it's showing you this or telling it you're not getting any value from it. I took acid once and was having a great time but towards the comedown I had this vision of like cycles of teeth rotting and regrowing and it felt like it was past life memories of aging and I was damn that was gross and unpleasant and it kinda freaked me out but since I was mostly back to "normal" reality at that point I just moved on. A month or so later I was on MDMA, which I've found can be very reminiscent of LSD if you add cannabis into the mix, and I was just chilling not having any visuals and then I smoked a bowl and the first thing I started getting was the damn rotting teeth vision and I was just so frustrated I said "Really? Again with the rotting teeth bullshit? Of all the things you could show me and you show me rotting teeth? Wow so impressed...not, I know my teeth are eventually gonna rot to nothing when I die so I'd like to see something more interesting" and immediately my vision changed to flowers and beautiful imagery forming kaleidescope patterns, and I had the feeling like my higher self knew it couldn't get to me anymore. For me that was the best lesson in not resisting because my additude went from "please don't show me this, it's scary" to "ok I get it, rotting teeth, is this really all you're gonna show me? Ok let's see rotting teeth all night" I think the spirit of these psychedelic compounds like to amaze and astonish and sometimes they do that by causing fear but you can get through those scary moments by confronting them rather than trying to turn away and they'll have to find more positive ways to astonish you. But anytime you have visions happen that are unpleasant it's always better to ask why you're being shown this than say please don't show me this. Some of it comes with practice and sometimes you're on too high of a dose to remind yourself of that lesson but it's good advice for most experiences.

How was it

[@notadaytrader]

I think after you get a couple experiences under your belt, it becomes much easier to remind yourself it’s just a drug, and it will wear off, and you will go back to normal. Sometimes high doses of psychedelics can distort time and reality so much, it feels like you’ve been stuck and will be stuck like that forever. Just remind yourself this isn’t the case. It will pass. Always have a sober friend with you, and even if they aren’t sober, make sure they’re an experienced friend as well. When things start to get weird, you want someone who is equally okay with that. ❤️

I've tripped alone before, but on lsd not shrooms. And I'm not a scientist or anything just my personal opinion but if you wanna have a good trip alone you gotta have good self control. You need to be able to be self aware enough to recognize if your starting to have a bad trip, and pull yourself out of it. The lower the dose the easier it is to control yourself. But if you're still worried about it, definitely have like an online trip sitter. Someone you can text every hour or so with updates, so they know you're conscious and safe. If you don't answer within a certain amount of time then they can just call the police or a family member to check up on you

@@rebeccaspratling2865 who is scamming who ?

@@dingskydongsky People posting to find mushrooms on instagram and stuff. Why would you want to get shrooms through instagram and why would you even think that someone posting this online is legit? It's the exact opposite of legit. Ask around locally. I'm sure you can come up with a few groups of people where finding them would be easier.

My first experience tripping on mushrooms corrected the mild green color blindness I had. Red and green color blindness go together. But oddly enough it didn't seem to help the red color blindness I had. That whole experience while I was tripping green was so very vibrant all colors were but it was like I was seeing green for the first time and its true color. . I have never heard of anybody having a correction of color blindness is this something uncommon or have I just not seen the evidence out there and it's something that's more common than I know?

So, if setting is perfect, set too but i have schizophrenia in my family. Even if i feel confident and calm about going on a psychedelic trip, i should avoid these experiences ?

[@sherlynrosario6929]

I wanna try acid today but I’m nervous, I’m just thinking of doing a low dose though alone in my room.

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

SSRIs are known to reduce the effects of psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD. With ayahuasca you have to be more careful, because of the MAOI that's contained in it. All of that said, always consult with your psychiatrist/physician if you're on medication and want to try a psychedelic. If they're skeptical, tell them to look up recent literature on the topic - or, better yet, find a relevant study or review paper on pubmed or google scholar and bring them a print out.

What if I don't have a therapist with me, if I and if have a bad trip

[@TheMATHEHOUSE]

Is my room a good place for it?

[@fitzzcarraldo]

An internal psychedelic journey would be nice but there is no way to safely get any and its so absurdly illegal that theres no hope that that will change.

[@raminali1032]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have taken capsules of mushroom almost four months. The dosage is 300 or 400mg every three days. At the beginning was amazing and all of my symptoms such as anxiety, depression and panic were gone. Even though I continued taking capsules, the symptoms came back. I think they don't have any effect. in comparison with last month my mood is very low and I can do anything. Do you have any solution for my situation.

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

Hi RA, if your intention was to microdose, then the typical dose is around 100mg rather than 300. As for why your symptoms came back, it's because psychedelics aren't necessarily antidepressants - i.e., if you take them regularly like you did you really can't have the expectation that they'll alleviate your issues. It makes sense there was a temporary effect in that sense, but they're not a prolonged solution. The studies which use psychedelics to treat mental health conditions involve higher dosages and are aimed at allowing the individual to go beyond their usual sense of who they are and gain insight into their issues, past experiences/trauma/ etc. That's not going to happen automatically if you just take them at a lower dose on a continued basis. Your goal should be to use psychedelics as a tool to help you work through your issues, not to make you feel better. That said, it's best if you seek out a mental health professional (if you're not already in contact with one) to gain more insight into your issues before doing anything with psychedelics.

[@raminali1032]

@@ThePsychedelicScientist I reread your text many times but I did not get the sense of the "with intention".What intention should I have.I suppose to take capsules of mushroom that they'll alleviate my depression. Are psychedelics neccessary antidepressant ? Are they prolonged solution or just have temporary effect.

[@ThePsychedelicScientist]

​@@raminali1032 Hi Ra, I was drawing attention to the fact that 300-400mg is a bit of an odd dose to take. It's not a microdose and it's not a full dose. As I said, psychedelics are not antidepressants. They're not necessarily something you try to take regularly to alleviate your symptoms. Psychedelically-assisted therapy, as is used in studies, involves taking higher doses in a supportive context with mental health professionals - and usually involve only 1-3 drug sessions. To repeat what I said above again, they are tools which help facilitate your ability to work through your issues at a deep level. They don't do the work for you. So you cannot expect to simply take them regularly in order to feel better indefinitely.

[@Lone_Star86]

Simple. You need a break, because your body built up tolerance. You can't take microdose all the time. Take for few weeks then stop for a while.

@@jennw6809I’m aware what he means. Those disorders can benefit- however in clinical settings we like to approach things with caution, but in the process exclude populations that can still benefit greatly.

Bro, lithium and LSD is a really bad combo, talk to your doctor or taper off your meds for a while if you reaaally wanna trip. (Source: I’m a bipolar psychonaut)
