Title: How long do you wait before taking LSD or Mushrooms again?
Post by: The Scientist on February 11, 2013, 11:07 pm
I take LSD once a week. If I take it more often than once a week, I don't trip as hard as I would like to.

I'd like to trip twice a week instead of just once a week.

I heard that you don't have to wait as long with magic mushrooms. While LSD is best taken once a week, shrooms can be taken every 2-3 days. Is that true?

How often should I take mushrooms?

LSD once a week? Damn thats rough on your brain man! I usually wait at least a month, usually more, in between acid trips. Although when I do take it I like to take pretty high doses.

unfortunately it is not feasible to trip twice a week, even with mushrooms. tolerance lasts about the same length as lsd. if you want to trip multiple times a week, i recommend a short-acting psychedelic such as dmt, changa, 5-meo-dmt, salvia, etc. as you can't really develop tolerance to them.

I find that it is good for my brain.

I've read that tolerance doesn't last as long as LSD. Have you tried taking mushrooms, say, once every 3 days?

seems we've heard different things. i have not tried that. would be interested to know if psilocybin tolerance lasts as long though. let us know if you try it!

Unless you're taking an extreme dose, you really don't have to worry about your brain too much with LSD.

For me to back to baseline takes around two weeks. That goes for both shrooms and lsd. If I trip with a week in between it just becomes not quite as strong an experience - its not tjhat I cannot trip after a weeks break, but it just won't quite blow my mind, even on high doses.

I find that with both LSD and mushrooms, if you wait three full days after you trip, the tolerance is basically non-existant

Erowid:

LSD is not physically addicting, and is quite unlikely to lead to psychological addiction in most people. Withdrawal effects following discontinuation have not been reported. As with most substances, a few people have reported becoming mentally habituated to LSD. There is a short period of tolerance after use. Using LSD two days in a row is likely to lead to a diminished experience the second day, though spaced 3 or more days apart, this effect is nearly non-existent.

If you look up 'BlueLight LSD tolerance' they have a graph of tolerance taken from the average of their users.

On the topic of heavy using, I read Jim Morrison lived off LSD and beans, I think he turned out okay...

I would say it is too much once a week instead you want to be completly out of this society. Even lsd is quite safe for a "safe-brain", taking it too often i find it to be hard to recover from baseline if you have a lot of work and things to do in society. It is life changing for the good i'm ok with that but you need time to really understand what you have live.

And, I find it hard to make long clear sociably-understandable sentences when i'm recovering from lsd trip for some days after.

general rule of thumb as people will tell you is 2 weeks min before trips.  i definitely feel tolerance even at the 2 week mark. if you want to trip, you'll need to take more but i like to space things out to keep my trips fun and my costs down

If you really wanna trip very often,
you might wanna think about your kidneys or liver...
mushrooms do kill you kidneys - badly...

What evidence do you have of this?

I looked this up, and the only cases of kidney failure I could find were ones in which poisonous mushrooms were misidentified as psilocybin containing mushrooms

http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/content/11/11/2324.full.pdf.

I could not find any instances of liver damage either. Liver damage may be caused by amatoxins which are found in some mushroom species, but they are not present in psilocybin-containing mushrooms.

"The cases related to psilocybin containing mushrooms causing liver damage are cases where somebody misidentified one of the deadly mushrooms mentioned above for one of the psilocybin containing species."

http://www.shroomery.org/8763/Do-hallucinogenic-mushrooms-cause-liver-damage

Also couldn't  even find one study showing any relationship between kidney/liver damage and LSD.

The info I gave you here was not from a websource or whatever,
just my own personal experience (and damn I did lot of shrooms)...
at a certain point I started pissing some "red stuff" and when I stopped the shrooms for a few months it quickly got better...
so how/why/what - I don't know,
but that's just my personal experience.

Regarding LSD and kidneys: I don't think the one affect the other  :)

I shroom at least once a week in doses ranging from 7g-14g dry. I'm gonna call bs on this story. I think that "red stuff" was called blood. And when you pee blood it's probably VD or a host of other things besides some sort of made up "mushroom toxicity". Honestly people like you are the reason why I have to answer so many ridiculous questions about my product. Or have others tell me that different "strains" of cubes are more potent than others. /rantover
