don’t take too much. i recommend no more than 1.5g the first time. mentally prepare and be sure you don’t have any major responsibilities coming up when you take them. do it in a comfortable environment. ideally some place where you can easily stay inside and watch shows, draw, etc or go outside for a walk. i tend to enjoy being outside exploring for most of my trip and then coming inside to relax after i peak. meditate before and/or during your trip. and enjoy!

It can make people paranoid and sometimes it makes me feel noodly and weak. If you get those bad feelings just remember that you’re on a drug and it will pass, not a super big deal. Personally I love being out in nature, I think that’s the best way to do it. Also smoking a bit on the comedown is euphoric. Enjoy it!!

I haven’t tried them, but I think having reliable company like a trip sitter to help you through it would be a good step if you can find someone like that

Have a good friend you trust and who won’t try and mess with you tripsit you, make sure you don’t eat beforehand but have food and water ready to grab, and start with a small (.5-1.0 gram) dose. I like to be outside or watching shows in a comfortable place I know well and can get back to my place from with my eyes closed. Remember you’re tripping, it’ll end eventually, and whatever journey you go on is the one you’re meant to go on

and if you begin to panic or have a bad trip, don’t try to fight the feeling. accept that you are tripping and will get through it. let the mushrooms guide how you feel through the trip and come to terms with how you feel in the moment. if it gets too much, put on some relaxing music and/or a nature documentary and just breathe.
