Why don't mushrooms work on me??

[kara23]

I have taken mushrooms about 6 times and all I have ever experienced is the body buzz, no trip at all!! I have become very disappointed and hopeless at this point. My last attempt I ate about a 1/4 maybe a little more and I still got the same results while everyone else around me was tripping like crazy. And I am a female that only weighs 120 pounds by the way. What is going on? Is it possible that I just can't trip on mushrooms? Please tell me there is some hope.

It could be from not having the right shrooms or what you put in your body prior. If you drink alcohol before, it can reduce the trip. I've always picked mine, the good ones out amoung the cow patties. Remember this when you are picking them out in the wild: Brow will make you frown, but blue will be true. Always check the gills after you remove the caps.

Also I would invest into a mushroom book, so you identify the good ones from the bad ones. I would check amazon, they seem to have the cheapest prices online. You can also check this site: www.shroomery.org
They might have better information than here. But then again, I don't know alot of you, so there maybe someone who can awnser better than me.

Hahah...

I have one friend who never trips. Mind you, he's on all kinds of medications for ADHD, MPD, sleep disorders, and constant hallucinations. If he doesn't take his meds and eats anywhere from 1/4-1/2 oz. of shrooms, he calms right down, stops having hallucinations, etc. But, assuming you *don't* have MPD or constant hallucinations (I can't see sleep disorders having an effect, and I've taken them with people that had ADD/ADHD... "I'm not feeling anything... *10 minutes later* Woah, did you see that?! *10 minutes later* I'm not feeling anything..." hahah) some people just don't trip on them. I've had ones that all of my friends tripped out on, and I just got the body buzz... and I've had ones that took my fiance over 1/4 oz. to trip on, and I was good to go from 1/8th. It all just depends on the person and type of shrooms.

My boyfriend had the same problem for years. We recently started making tea with our mushrooms instead of eating them, and it's worked for him. Try tea:)

Could be that you just react differently. Everyones bodies have a slightly unique way to responding to different chemicals, especially drugs. I've had the same experience you have, but i've also eaten shrooms with a group and either been the only one or one of the few that felt anything.
