Hello all! All I have to say for now is that the megas must flow 
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

Not directly disability related but I guess I’m doing shrooms Friday evening for the first time. A friend gave me some and I figured I’d do a bit of research to prepare. I think I’m ready. Does anyone have any experiences with psychedelics and have advice on what to do to make sure the trip goes as good as possible? I’m gonna have water and snacks on hand and plan on not smoking or drinking so the high is as pure as possible. I wanna find a chill playlist to listen to as well. But other than that, I’m not sure what to plan for.

Hell yea! I really want to try psychs. When I took esketamine I listened to This channel usually, but definitely get a nice playlist together.
I’m sure you’ve seen this in your research but setting and headspace are both really important. Not smoking or drinking is definitely a good idea. A lot of people would probably tell you to try 1-2g for your first time but I don’t know how much you have/what you want to do about that I guess.
I hope you have a good experience and have fun/self discovery/whatever else you might be looking for ♥️

I’m planning on making the Friday leading up to it as stress free as possible to have a clear head and good vibes for sure.
I’m gonna weigh them on Friday but I’m guessing 2-3 grams and will probably just take it all.
And yea for sure I’m actually hoping I get a chance for some hella instrospection and a better understanding of my “self” afterwards.

I did 2.5g as my first dose and had a very nice experience, just did it in our house. Other than a tiny bit of nausea at the start (don’t do it on an empty stomach) my partner and I had a great time, a good hour was spent just chilling in bed staring at the corner of the room lol. Some mild hallucinations and some feelings of universal connectedness for sure, but nothing like ego death or anything scary. Really need to do it again in the summer because somewhere quiet outside would be better. We had a bit of weed on the comedown and that reactivated the intensity a bit for sure.
spoiler
I’m hoping to do it in my backyard and just watch the sunset. I’m also hoping for mild effects so guestimating 3-ish grams sounds like it will be similar.
I’ve read that some people will do them on an empty stomach because it helps make the high come quicker but I probably wanna avoid nausea so sort of thinking eat something light for dinner and then have snacks on hand. I’m considering having a vape pen handy for the comedown but still not sure.

in my experience it’s not so much about getting high faster, rather any food at all in the belly means diarrhea during the trip. i recommend planning to give yourself a couple hours between. i don’t risk it at all anymore but i get a nervous gut generally ymmv.
introspection
if you’ve never done shrooms you’ll probably be distracted by how cool everything looks to do any introspection but that’s a good problem to have. if you like to direct yourself a bit, i suggest doing some meditation in the days before. not like oooom or anything, just think up a couple questions you’d like answers to or what you’d like to think on and then repeat those questions to yourself self whenever you remember. this has worked very well for me, i got some big questions answered this way.
vape
if you’re talkin tobacco you’ll really really want to have some on hand for the high. if you’re talking weed, i got no opinion on that. i think I’ve had some and they dovetail ok… but baccy? ill burn thru a whole damn pack of smokes omg best cigs you’ll ever smoke.
things
Ok so eat a while before hand but not necessarily on an empty stomach? And don’t eat too much.
It’s first time so I will try to go the question/meditation route. I do wanna just vibe but I also like how my mind wonders down corridors of thought sober and also high so I was hoping for something like that? Idk? I’m a daydreamer basically.
It would be weed and it would just be for the comedown. Not a bunch, just to ride it down.
enjoy yourself! :D
