What does it mean to "mess with your serotonin receptors"? Tryptamine psychedelics occupy some of the same receptor sites as serotonin. As to your other questions, there are no hard answers. It depends entirely on your personal state of affairs and how you are using the substance (dose, frequency, integration etc)

@r0ckyreed how much time have you spent in educating yourself on this subject? The nature of this post tell me not much. The internet is absolutely packed with valuable information and resources. psychonaut wiki is a good place to start erowid is a classic psilocybin mushrooms subreddit To answer your questions directly: It is highly unlikely for mushrooms to be intentionally laced with fentanyl. There is always the possibility of unintentional cross contamination, but this is only if you are getting your mushrooms from some sketchy grower/dealer who also deals in fentanyl. The mushrooms should be cracker dry when you get them, and should be stored in a such a manner as to keep them this way. Keep them in an airtight jar with minimal air space along with a desiccant pack in a cool, dark, dry place. The mushrooms can be eaten as is, mixed into a food/beverage, or prepared using the lemon tek method as described earlier in the thread. Mushrooms kept in storage will lose potency over time 2 grams is a medium to medium strong dose, depending on the potency of the mushroom and your sensitivity. It could even be a strong dose. Growing mushrooms from spores is a whole separate conversation. With all of this being said, there is still a conversation to be had about ways in which you can prepare your mindset and your setting as a way of inviting the best possible experience. My response here is by no means a complete guide to your first mushroom trip, and there is much more to say. You are welcome to reach out to me privately for further support.

Sounds right ❤️‍🔥

Sounds appropriate for that dose.

What is there to discuss?

What dosage range have you worked with? The body load is more noticeable at lower doses in my experience.

To generalize, people think more is better, want to get their money's worth, and have a tendency to say yes when something is offered from someone they've consciously or unconsciously given authority to.

What are you really asking?

🙃

Do you see the irony in all that?

Nice report with some heavy duty insights. What do you feel is controversial about this?

Interesting sighting thank you. Things will really get kooky when 5-meo-dmt pens are readily available. This is not me endorsing the idea. Just forecasting.

What's the point of eating if you always get hungry? What's the point of resting if you will always exert yourself? What's the point of the sun rising if it will always set? What's the point of laughing if you will always cry? Apparent states of consciousness rise and fall, ebb and flow like all else. Is any one state more desirous? There is your mistake.

Terence McKenna said that to him LSD was not highly visual unless he mixed it with other substances such as mescaline or DMT.

Probably esfand aka Syrian rue

What ROA are you referring to?

The reason people say you must have a facilitator for 5-MeO-DMT is that, at high enough doses, everything you have come to know as reality will fall away. Completely. At a certain level not only will you leave your body, you will leave the concept of bodies behind. At these levels it is important to have someone present to make sure your physical body is safe from thrashing about, choking on vomit, or jumping off of a balcony. If you start with low doses and work your way up very mindfully and slowly, you can get away without a facilitator. With high doses, especially vaporized, especially early on, a facilitator/trained sitter is non negotiable.

If you don't trust where your friend gets them, that means fundamentally that you don't trust your friend. When you say "what do you do before you use [mushrooms]" are you asking about preparation? Testing?

Nice thank you. If 30-40mg is enough for MAO inhibition, I'm not sure where I got 120mg from or why it was recommended.

Can you share some resources pointing to this?

Yes vaporhuasca. I believe 120mg

The problem in this case is cross contamination, not intentional lacing with fentanyl.

Have you considered that there are limitations to logic?

Exactly. 5-MeO-DMT has a very, very high affinity and basically outcompetes everything else at the receptor sites
