Roknrolroknrol@beige.partyAug 5, 2026, 11:12 AM@guyjantic I can only speak for myself, of course, but mushrooms always killed my sense of taste while I was high.
I would drink plenty of water and eat lots of junk food before I'd trip, because if I was already high everything tasted like paper. Like chewing a non-flavoured toothpick.
But I can absolutely understand how psilocybin could help with anxiety. That shit was awesome for introspection, as long as you're in a reasonable frame of mind when the trip starts.
Alison MeeksAlison@beige.partyAug 5, 2026, 11:31 AM@roknrol @guyjantic Set and setting super important for such things. Micro dosing has been super helpful to help pull out of the blues here.

@Alison Yeah, I won't do LSD unless my setting and frame of mind are absolutely perfect.
My ex refuses to do LSD because when she was younger, every time she tried it was a bad trip. But she was always doing it with new people at parties (when she was already anxious). I've only done it in my own home, when I've felt comfortable in my own skin. Won't touch it if I'm dealing with anxiety or depression.
I've done shrooms enough times by this point that I'd probably be ok regardless of where I was or what was going on. I stay pretty clearheaded (even if the visuals are strong). But LSD...that's a whole different beast.
Never tried microdosing...might give it a shot if I have the opportunity in the future.

@roknrol OK, the truth comes out: I don't really know what tripping on mushrooms is like.
Edit: But I am willing to learn :)

@guyjantic No harm in not knowing. If you ever want to try something like that, ask Fedi...you'll get a lot of good advice in staying safe and being prepared.
Or DM me...if I have experience with the drug, I'm more than happy to share my experiences.

@roknrol I might DM you sometime. However, I seem to have, in the past 3-4 years, suddenly become surrounded by people with a lot (a disturbing amount) of experience with psychedelics, probably because I started to go to regional burns. I actually made a couple of friends while they were tripping on mushrooms. We still chat and jam when we see each other once or twice a year.
