My first trip so far, took only 1/3rd of a ticket. IDK what I really experienced, just some slight visuals. Definitely more pleasurable than mushrooms (less poisonous, less lyrical, more positive).

Poisonous?

Magic mushrooms are borderline toxic or whatever. I know many people feel sick and can vomit from them.

They aren’t toxic or poisonous, but psilocybin does have a nauseating effect on many people. The cell walls of the mushrooms can be hard for some to digest as well, which is why many people make a tea or tinctures. You’d have to consume an absolutely insane dose of them — so much so that the current lethal dose isn’t known — for safety to be a concern at a toxicological level. Emotionally and mentally, different story.

In fact, they are typically considered the safest recreational drug, both in terms of its pharmacology but also in terms of reported ER incidents: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/may/23/study-halluc...

protip.. Try and force yourself to eat, it gives you one less thing for your body to be weird about.

Your body can definitely handle fasting for half a day. Frankly eating gives your body more things to be weird about.

Sure, I'm no stranger to fasting, I wouldn't call it pleasant though. Eating can be a very strange experience, I have vivid memories of a burrata I felt like I could climb into but it's definitely nice not to be hungry
