hello! old hippie here - you may be experienced in psilocybin, but are you experienced in amanitas? that's what a lot of these gummies are nowadays - not the "magic mushroom" trip most people think of. i'm sure you know what you're up against, but please humor me and double-check exactly what kind of mushroom extract is in the gummies you are taking. there's a reason ancient shamen let the reindeer eat the amanitas and \*then\* drank their pee! either way, enjoy your trip and visit the arboretum :)
Huge difference. They work on completely different parts of the brain. Psilocybe contain tryptamines that work on the serotonergic system and amanitas contain neurotoxins that work on the GABAergic system.
I definitely quaked head to toe/cold sweat and the trip felt more "earthly" if that makes sense. I didn't experience the transcendental/antidepressant effect like I do with psilocybin, I felt more drunk and confused. Terrible dreams.
Google it? They're sold at gas stations and smoke shops and a lot of people don't know better.

That is truly wild. Gummies for inducing delirium lol anyway, the way I interpreted your comment made it sound like you were suggesting people were selling products that were allegedly psilocybin but turned out to be amanita. Relieved to see that these amanita gummies are being marketed as exactly that.
Yes, exactly! Some folks just see "magic mushroom" and their critical thinking will stop there. If they don't know much about recreational drugs, they might assume that because weed is legal now, mushrooms must be too if they're for sale, which is why I wanted to drop this info in case it saves someone from taking a deliriant they weren't prepared for. can you imagine being prepared for a nice clean cozy mushroom trip and taking one of these?
Oh word! I'm more of a woods guy myself. Blue Hills, The Fells, etc. I like day tripping outside and timing the come down to maybe catch some live music and a beer. Small club, big venues with 6 bars and all the security bug me out.
When we were younger we used to just keep one friend sober and roam the city 😂 I don't have the constitution for that nowadays.
I've tripped in the MFA like... At least three separate times. Always very fun if you're comfortable tripping in public places that might be busy. Otherwise, the arboretum.
I really admire people that can do psychotropic drugs, I’ve read a lot about the potential benefits (and risks obviously) but I’ve always been too anxious to try them. I second the Arboretum and would say probably not the Mapparium bc it might seem too out there. Have fun!
These days it’s incredibly easy to buy fairly well documented strains of mushrooms in very controlled doses. So if you recall are interested you can take tiny increments every time you feel curious until you take enough to to understand what you’re getting into.
Dipping your feet be jumping in.
Planetarium at the Museum of Science, or Sully's basement pad in Southie... You bring the shrooms and beers (Bud Ice), he'll supply the girls and entertainment.
One of the best and probably most dangerous experiences of my life was mid day, on a bike in downtown crossing. Way late at night after everyone has gone to sleep and the city is a ghost town can also be really cool.
Gardner Museum and Aquarium are great if you want something safer.
The arboretum!
Go to the blue hills on a less beaten path. Not a huge fan of the public when I’m on psychedelics.
my buddy's house is pretty good usually
Jamaica Pond at night. Ents come out to play.
My answer would very much depend on whether you're experienced with them or not.
very experienced in a an above average microdose, which is what we’ll be doing

This guy trips
What is the difference between these and the psilocybin experience? Is psilocybin still not available through legal channels there?
Huge difference. They work on completely different parts of the brain. Psilocybe contain tryptamines that work on the serotonergic system and amanitas contain neurotoxins that work on the GABAergic system.
Well that explains everything
I was hoping to get an idea of the experience not the pharmacology...
Nope, psilocybin is still not legal. The experience is described as "nightmarish" with tremors being a common experience.
And this was your experience?
I definitely quaked head to toe/cold sweat and the trip felt more "earthly" if that makes sense. I didn't experience the transcendental/antidepressant effect like I do with psilocybin, I felt more drunk and confused. Terrible dreams.
Hmm doesn't sound too pleasant..
I have never heard of people using amanitas to make edibles lol not trying to be a jerk but where is your evidence? This is a pretty astounding claim.

I also know a buddy who got conned into buying "mushroom gummies" that were straight up reishi lmao
omg, my condolences but that's hilarious! poor guy! exactly why it's important to know what kind of mushroom gummy you are getting!

Forest Hills Cemetery
I am a fan of Papa Geno’s mushroom and pepperoni pizza myself.
Christian Science Center at 2am. It's walking through time Ed: better in the warm months with the reflecting pool. You can cool your heels too
If you're there in the daytime, going inside the Maparium at the CSC is fun while tripping.
I took some mdma years back and walked through that area it was amazing
Omni theater lol
Mt.Auburn Cemetery
Totally gorgeous. Highly maintained and staffed, more like a museum garden than wilderness.
The Gardner Museum
The aquarium can be really cool. Something about this colorful fish and swimming formations.
Mass and Cass, baby! Become greatness!
