I was telling my therapist that I wanna take shrooms only last evening. I have a bunch. They're legal here. My partner works on Sunday and I have the place to myself. Hope she doesn't get divorced. Lol.
I never recommend having a sober trip sitter, just an experienced tripper on the same journey. Sober trip sitters in my experience have a tendency to harsh the vibe and make me way more likely to have a bad trip.
I recommend having a friend trip with you together to affirm that what you're expeciencing matches what they're experiencing. I've taken a lot of psycadelics. For me, this is the way.
I'm currently growing my first batch, they are unfortunately not legal here 😅 They're fantastic though. I've done shrooms twice in my life now and my depression and social anxiety are all but gone. I've got years of therapy under my belt too and without that the effect would surely not have been this noticeable but still. When you take them you never know what will happen. Most likely it will be amazing from start to finish but every now and then shrooms make you confront unpleasant things. Taking them was a way to prove to myself that I'm ready to confront my fears.
With force of will you can change the trip, but that requires experience. I think this is why novices have bad trips. That and spending too long looking in the mirror both physically and metaphorically.
Or maybe people it's not great for weed themselves out. But I can't imagine anything better for everyone.
