I am sure other opinions will differ but if you feel generally secure with yourself and your life, I'd recommend enjoying it out in the woods. My friend has had some magical experiences with the sunset and the onset of the evening but it's not bad during the day, just less readily apparent visual effects, according to them.

Don't try it outside for the first time unless you've previously tripped. After which, yes. r/Outside trips can be so incredibly rewarding If you are going to try it for the first time, and for most I feel you should at least consider it. Please first do it in the comfort of your own home before venturing to r/Outside. This way if you're not familiar with the experience, and you get to a place of discomfort. You can…

Does calling it r/Outside instead of just "outside" have any particular significance in the context of psychedelic substances? Just curious why you're using "r/Outside" specifically.

I have a neutral opinion on Psilocybin in general, but beware the selection bias in internet comment sections. Positive comments get upvoted and praised, negative experiences get dismissed with a mix of victim blaming (usually "set and setting" comments) or explained away as exacerbating pre-existing underlying conditions. Eventually those with bad experiences give up on participating in discussions. It does appear t…

In performing due diligence, I discovered several of the stock exchange listed shroom startups are paying pump-n-dump “analysts” to promote psilocybin across speculator, investor, and general social media. Not coincidentally, their penny stocks valuations have seen a remarkable rise over the past couple of months. I expect that we’ll soon see the dump part of the pump.

I had no idea there were shroom startups, much less publicly traded ones.

It's a reference to the forum r/Outside on reddit.com

"Been seeing a lot of Psilocybin on the front of HN lately" I suppose a combination of quarantine with cold and dark outside ... (in the northern hemisphere, where probably most of HN users come from) And about trying it out: Make sure about the right set and setting, though. You need to feel save in the place and stable in the mind. Horrortrips are not so pleaseant. Ideally, have not anything scheduled the day(s) af…

>...with cold and dark outside ... At least where I live it's also the season where you can just go outside and harvest them.

Liberty caps, in Europe?

I wonder how you measure the dosing. Mushrooms are pretty well established as far the amount needed for varying degrees of experiences.

There are scales but it’s not very scientific because the active ingredients concentration vary wildly between individual mushrooms. Trial and error I guess unless you’re in a lab setting with pure medical grade compounds so you know exactly how many mg you’re getting.
