After close to a year of trying to source shrooms without attempting to grow (I don’t believe I’m cut out for it), using the DN (seems sketchy), or trespassing (I sensibly fear arrest) I was finally able to get my hands on approximately 7g yesterday. This would be my husband and I’s first time trying a psychedelic. We both had been doing extensive research, in order to be thoroughly prepared for what’s to come. Despite reading dozens & dozens of trip reports, I can say our experience was quite different to say the least.

We decided 2g for each of us. I carefully cut them up and mixed them into melted chocolate with nuts & stuck in the freezer for an hour while we got our set and setting right. I made us ginger tea & we ate ginger chews after consuming. Both of us were anxious and nervous but mostly excited. The first noticeable effect was claminess. We both struggled to stay cool / warm minute to minute. That continued to persist as nausea came on increasingly strong for me. Both of us felt waves of mellow melting/floating but this was very mild. As my nausea intensified I recognized that it was part of my process and if I had to purge I wouldn’t resist, but didn’t necessarily want to force myself to throw up. Some minor moving colors and patterns were present when I closed my eyes, but my nausea prevented me to “go deeper”. Eventually hours were going by and we were both still basically sober and I was riding the struggle bus realizing the come up time had past and maybe we got duds.

He got hungry & started to snack and text his friends as if he wasn’t feeling a thing. My body finally cued it was time to “release my demons” I wittily resolved. The next hour approximately I was indisposed with loose stool along with pretty agonizing cramps. Still feeling mostly sober and disappointed. My husband calls to me asking if he should put on The Office. To which my answer is always yes. A moment later I hear him say “oh no” & a sound that indicated he fell. I rushed out of the bathroom as quickly as I could to find him sitting on the floor. His pupils were dilated (both of ours were though after ingestion) and he was drenched in sweat completely disoriented. I comforted him and assumed the trip had come on for him but as he toweled himself off he spoke coherently about how he’d just blacked out. He said he was texting, began seeing all black&white and next thing he knew he was on the floor. He was feeling nauseous & just very confused about what happened. He got some rest and a while later I made him a sandwich as both of us had all effects diminished.



Some other details:

We are not on any medications.

We had fasted for 4 hours prior.

I’m thin, not toned. He has an athletic build, works out daily.



Would love opinions, feedback, or a reassuring “something similar happened to me”. Despite his unforeseen tumble, the husband is interested in possibly taking our remaining 3g, maybe the lemon tek way. Appreciate any input ya’ll experienced psychonauts would have for us. Mush love.

2g is a low dose, seems strange but it's not uncommon for such a thing to happen. The shroomery is littered with the same reports. No known cause but it's not uncommon.

Thank you for the response! I’m new to this forum and navigating is not so user friendly. Can you please tell me how to find similar reports?

Sounds fairly normal for first time anxiety. I never got nauseous, I do think the anxiety does that.



2g is a fairly heavy first dosage. By law, 1g is a 'dosage'. Sometimes it is good to taste the shrooms and judge your receptability or rejection.



It's like a beer, a smoke of tobacco or weed. You can pretty much sense what the experience will be like, at first taste. If beer seems to taste weak, or overly strong, I know that's how I will react.



No different for shrooms. It's more dangerous with chemicals that are highly concentrated and have no taste or smell. Though sometimes LSD can kick in very quickly.

2 grams should often be adequate to have noticable hallucinatory effects.

I say often because there is a fair amount of inconsistency from one dose to the next, especially with a variety that hasn't been isolated very much.



The mushrooms you have pictured are indeed P. cubensis, so no worries there.



As far as your GI issues go, it's totally normal when taking whole fruits, especially when your body is not used to them.

As far as your partner's loss of consciousness, it sounds like he probably had an episode of Orthostatic hypotension - the wooziness you get upon standing up from sitting/lying down - exaggerated by the substance's effects on blood pressure - nothing that is particularly dangerous to those with normal cardiovascular health.



I'd suggest making a tea of it - simply simmer for 20 minutes, strain the solids out, and drink the remaining liquid. It's much lighter on your body and has a potentiated effect.

Fainting on mushrooms is related to low blood-sugar and surprisingly common.

Has happened to me before and can be terrifying if you aren't aware of the possibility.



Usually happens towards the end or even after the trip.



You did everything correct sometimes things just don't work out.



The combination of; chocolate, nuts, mushrooms, lots of water and various ginger things it sounds like you just threw down too much matter at once especially when you're bound to have a nervous stomach anyway.



If you care to try it again I'd say scrap the chocolate/nuts, find a TEK (guide) on here for making mushroom tea and just drink that.



I hope you weren't completely put off, they can be unpredictible little bastards but when it's good it's really good.

At the top right, there is a hyperlink: Search Our Forums



In there, you will see to the left, a field to choose what subcategory you want to search in (the psychedelic experience, trip reports, etc.), then you can type in the search field something like 'nausea and diarrhea'



Here is the results from me doing that

Sounds like your husband fainted....This is something that happens occasionally with mushrooms. For many years now I've seen threads/posts about someone fainting from mushrooms about once a month around the shroomery, and this thread is one of them lol.



Mushrooms can make blood pressure all wonky and can cause a drop in blood pressure.







Definitely sounds like the mushrooms were active even though ya'll didn't have much of a trip. The first few times I tripped on mushrooms I didn't experience much either, but in hindsight I was "higher" and experiencing more than I thought I was...For some reason my first trips were very mild.



Maybe try taking them in a tea next time, that should help with any stomach issues.







Like poster above mentioned, "I hope you weren't completely put off, they can be unpredictable little bastards but when it's good it's really good."

Sounds like he had as others said orthostatic hypotension not dangerous and preventable, eat some light salty snacks like nuts and I always drink a bit of juice while tripping to keep my blood sugar good since you said he was hungry that likely played a role. Might sound odd but keep some juice boxes or fruit around when you trip and just have one or eat some fruit every hour and eat a solid meal once your down and you'll be golden. since you're taking relatively low doses you should be able to remember to do this yourself but on some of my higher dose stuff or when I'm really gone my wife always sticks a juice box in my face every hour and tells me to drink since I'm not at all interested in eating while tripping.



Post Extras:



I would also recommend not fasting before but eating a piece of fruit before dosing, seems to help get the digestion done sooner and can ease some of the GI distress.



Post Extras:



Also may not be useful to you but I'm prone to sodium crashes from my antiepileptic drugs so I always keep some finely ground salt in gelatine capsules, and some magnesium citrate can help with cramping.



Post Extras:



OP, I hope you come to realize the nausea is not part of the "process", but rather the result of how you consumed them. Next time try making a nice tea and skip ingesting the fruit bodies altogether. There are plenty of tea recipes here but this is a particularly effective method.



The fainting/blacking out syncope is a blood flow issue and pretty common. I've had it happen a few times and you want to get horizontal ASAP or you will fall.



I wouldn't worry about either much but if you make tea you won't be distracted by your guts rising up in revolt to what you ate.



Also LEARN TO GROW it's not that hard and you end up with a lifetime supply of happy shrooms. Plenty of resources here and people happy to help you learn how.

I think neausea is part of the process. People cannot be sure the trip will not be lethal. Just because many people have a pleasent attitude doesn't mean nobody ever died tripping.



It is a schizo toxin. My belief is death, insanity and enlightenment share a lot in common. An unraveling of what we thought was reality. Our own personal reality is not shared by others and that can be a huge frustration.



Sometimes the body and mind cannot accept changes. Eventually changes kill us.

Nausea is not part of my "process" unless I mistakenly have eaten too much too close to tripping. I think this is a big misconception on people's part, if for no other reason then they come to expect it from what they've read.



Of course you feel better after puking if you have nausea. The only time I found that wasn't true was when I was having chemo and dry heaving.
