Chocolates or tea...

[cheeseball]

Ok I have plenty of shrooms now, and I am trying to decide if I want to make tea or chocolates. here is my scenario. I have a bunch of decent size 3-5 inches, then a whole bunch of abhorts ranging from 1/4 inch -1inch. I would like to do something with all of those abhorts, so what do you all suggest? What chocolate is best to use? Any links for making them or any other delicious edible. I am so excited I think this weekend is going to be my first "experience" with shrooms!

[green_thumb]

with fresh mushrooms, i prefer to make tea. if i want to take a 5 gram trip and drink 20 ounces of total liquid, i would boil 50-60 grams of fresh mushrooms/abhorts in 10 oz. Then remove and add 5 oz of water and boil again. Repeat with the last 5 oz of water for a third boil.

i usually crush/slice/mash up my mushrooms before boiling them.

tea tends to make me "take off" on a rocketship while chocolates take some time to set in.

the last time i did a chocolate was 8 grams of mushroom powder. I didn't feel a thing for 4 hours except a slight buzz. Then suddenly, like a thief out of the night, the presence of everything and nothing overcame me.... i cried and "worshiped" for 3 straight hours...

do as you will. either way, you will have an eye opening experience.
god bless

Yep, I think the fat in the chocolate coats and soaks into the mushroom fragments & delays the release of the good stuff. (just a theory, I've no proof!)

I prefer powdered shroom in fruit juice, but tea is good too.

so wait a minute. You guys are saying it is ok to take some and put them in blender? i guess it makes sense it just seems so ruthless! If so I would rather just blend and do like chap said and stick in a drink. It will still hit hard correct?

[highflyer]

I like to powder them and add em to applesauce.

[the_other_chap]

Yeah, they can take all the physical punishment you want to throw at them and still come through
I like powdering them. I think the bigger surface area allows the quick release of the psilocybin/psilocin.
I certainly seem to have a much shorter "come up" with powder.
Somewhat negated if you're embedding it in chox though.

All about the surface area

Thanks guys, you all are swell!

My preferred method of injestion
step 1 - pick up freash mushroom
step 2 - put inbetween teeth
step 3 - chew
step 4 - swallow
Quick, easy, and a beuitiful thing!

Powered 2g propels me like a crazy bitch. It comes up so fast I can't control my thoughts and things start going nuts. After about 20 mins of coming up (which of course seem to last forever) I can get ahold of things again and I usually feel *great* and tuned in with my surroundings. The rocket ride up can be scary but otherwise its great for me =]

Chocolates are a lot more of something I'd do at a party. They took me a long time to come up but it was so subtle because I didn't realize that I was tripping until about 2-3 hours in but when I finally realized it I was completely gone.

[cheeseball]

2g? that is enough? Then I am going to do 3g, do you think that would be ok. I have had experience with overpowering trips with lsd, I took 3 hits of the strongest acid I have ever had and wigged my balls off, had no idea about anything, i mean i didn't understand what i was, i felt like jaba the hut at one point, b/c i couldn't move or talk and i just sat there breathing in and out it was so weird. Anyways, would 3g be ok for a first time shroomer or would you stick to 2.5-2.0?

[destroy_erase_improve]

i vote for going with tea, imho chocolates are a pain in the butt unless your going for stealth.

[cutty]

Tea is best IMO.

well that didn't friggin work....

I would vote for tea, quick and strong

[Lazlo]

Tea for sure!

[waylitjim]

I like chocolates in the forest and tea at home...

If you injest the shrooms rather then just steeping them in hot water,
you'll trip harder. I don't like to eat the soggy tea shrooms, so i just filter them out
which leads to a more relaxing and mellow trip. With chocolates you're sure to get them in your system...but overall I prefer honey.

Waylits Honey Jars

-You need a jar with a lid (1/2 pint Jar)
-Add 4 Tablespoons of honey to the jar
-Add 16 grams of cracker dry shrooms (finely ground in coffee grinder)
-Mix together really well, and freeze this mud like substance untill needed.

***1 Tablespoon of this goo is a full blown 4 gram trip***

[Lazlo]

Damn! That sounds nice Jim. I'll be trying it for sure.

It actually tastes good too!
Honey is an excellent natural preservative, great for long term storage of mushies.
I've had a honey jar that was frozen for 3 yrs be as good as the day i made it.
Just make sure there is absolutely no moisture left,
use a desiccant to completely dry the mushrooms before grinding them.
Excess moisture in the shrooms can cause the honey to go bad.

But afterall... who needs long term storage???
Eat em and share em

[cheeseball]

exactly, eat em and share em is my philosophy. I just want to enjoy my time with my friends.

[Soliver1]

For a first time, I'd suggest tea, as choc's do tend to come on slower.
Chocolates are best for longer-term storage in a convenient, edible package,
and are handy as they don't look like "drugs."

Until you discover your strain potency and how you react to shrooms,
I'd suggest starting with a 1 gram dose.

Tea is also easier on the stomach than chocolates

The last thing you want to do is lose your gourd in a bad way the first time
you enjoy your harvest. Some folks will overdo it the first time, get freaked,
and avoid further discovery....

You can always eat more, be it an hour later or the next day.
Last time I ate more than 2g, it took me for a ride that was more
than I bargained for It was 4g total - I thought the shrooms were "weak,"
and it was the day after a 2g trip that wasn't as strong as I had anticipated.

Seems day one simply primed my head for the upcoming onslaught,
on day two we had three grams and another an hour (?) later.
That last gram may have been a bad idea in retrospect...

Enjoy, but do so safely

I love mine With Honey that was my second and it's the Best, I agree w/ jim. The first Time I ate Cracker Dry shrooms, Must of not been stored right, I had 3 grams and Mild body feeling, distored vision. Honey (((((ppssstthhhshsssss))))) Took off Like a rocket, I'll only eat honey, or drink tea. Love that rocket feeling.

[fahtster]

i definately like tea in the winter.
but overall, chocs. kickass for the storage and stealth.
i like resting easy knowing that if i give a choc. to a friend.. they are less likely to get caught with it. someone sees it, they probably won't think twice.. although, when they ask for a piece.. you may have to be an asshole and say no even though you are probably doing that person a favor. lol don't think i agree with the fat coating idea tho.. if that were true.. pot butter wouldn't do what it was suppose to do. just a thought tho.

I prefer tea and when prepared properly, I don't think I lose any of the magic... Chocolates are cool, too, but I am lactose intolerant so too much makes my stomach hurt...

[easynow]

just eat them. just gulp them down with plenty of water.

[dizzydank]

I used to eat them in chocalates untell I found it was the choclate maiking me sick not the mushrooms. now i love a good shot of tea with 5-10 grams dry per dose.

Its the chocolate not allowing the magic to oxidise, i think


I tried 15 dried 2 inch shrooms and went on the london "eye", holy shhhhhitttt........................

he he yea i stayed away from the doors as soon as it started wobbling

[wayback]

Choclates last a long time. Freeze em and ther're good for several years. The honey thing I did last year, but haven't trip any of that once oz jar yet. And even though I only refrigated mine, I'll bet there are still good to the last drop.
