Doing Shrooms for the First Time - Lemon Tek

Hey guys. Newcomer here. First topic, hope it gives me what I'm looking for.
So yeah, gonna do shrooms for the first time. I'll give you a little background information first
So the only drug I ever messed with was weed. I started smoking every day since I was 17. I'm 19 now and I decided it's time for me to try shrooms.
I've been looking and asking around my town for months on end and never had any luck... until last night. The only other problem is that the person I got these from only had .6 grams so I said fuck it and took what I could get. So now I've got these mushrooms and I plan on taking them this weekend when I don't have school or work. I know .6 grams is very small even for a first timer but it's all I got.
As I was looking into mushrooms on the internet I discovered a method called lemon-tek. I'm sure you guys already know what that is, but in case you don't, from what I understand its where I chop up the shrooms and stir it around in lemon juice for half an hour before consuming. This is supposed to increase the effects. It sounds like my best option right now, but knowing me, I would probably fuck it up. And I really don't want to because I don't wanna waste the only shrooms i put so much effort into looking for. So that's why I'm making this thread. I want to do this right because as far as I know, I only have one shot. So to my understanding... Chop>dump into cup of lemon juice>stir occasionally for half an hour>drink. exactly how easy is it to mess that up? It seems as simple as 1 2 3 4 but I know myself all too well to just go with it without being 100% sure. Thanks for anyone who's willing to help me out.
Here's a picture of what I got. If at all possible could someone tell me what type of mushrooms I have? I know with weed it's hard to tell the difference between strains just by eyeballing it so I can't imagine mushrooms being any easier when it comes to that. Any other comments on these little guys are also encouraged.

Also, since I'm so used to smoking every day, should I smoke a little bit in the morning and take the mushrooms in the afternoon or should I stay clean beforehand?

you're going to be disappointed with such a small dose.

I'm not expecting much by any means. I figure it's best to start off easy anyway...

bump?

Do it on an empty stomach ..like 6-8 hours empty if you want any effects off that.. it took 2g's for me too feel it the first time i did it ..normal dose for me is 3-5g's. Smoke 30 mins to an hour after taking them if you're not feeling it..if that doesn't kick it in ..you aren't getting it.

no, it's not best to start off with such a small dose. you should take an eighth and have a sober friend keep you company.

I eat small doses like this sometimes. I'll be drinking and smoking and just eat a couple shrooms and forget about it. What I like is I get these passing waves of euphoria and hallucinations, just long enough to remind me that I ate them. It's pretty quick though and you may not even notice it.

Okay so since I was too eager to try them I decided to take them last night. I didn't have any lemon juice and the store was closed so I just decided to grind it up and put it in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I don't really know how I feel about it. after an hour I wasn't really feeling anything but really tired so I just decided to go to bed. As I was trying to fall asleep I felt a head change. But I can't exactly say I was enjoying it. I don't really remember anything until waking up at 7 in the morning feeling like shit. I got up and drank some water and went to go pick up my friend to go to school. Now at this point I wasn't really feeling anything but drowsy. Nothing was moving or breathing or anything, but I did notice a change in color. the grass was greener, sky was bluer and everything was just a little vivid. It was actually kind of relaxing. I was probably as close to sober as I could get before they completely wore off.
again, I'm not sure how I felt about it. I felt like shit all night but the morning was actually not too bad. I definitely understand why people use them, I just don't really know its the high that I'm looking for. But then again I probably should have waited until I could find more to really get the full effects before making a final opinion on it... So I don't really know if I'm going to try again.

I have social anxiety. I don't think a sober friend would have helped my case.

Would weed really make it kick in? That's interesting...

You shouldn't expect a high. It's a trip, not a high IMO. There is a spectrum of effects and having fun/being high from shrooms is just one aspect. I wouldn't ever eat such a low dose. Try to get like 3 grams to eat if you want to get a fuller exxperience.

Everyone uses social anxiety as an excuse these days. Shrooms could help with that. The only way to calm the anxiety is to face it instead of avoiding social situations and using the anxiety as an excuse.

You make a good point. I just felt that trying to face my anxiety while tripping on shrooms for the first time wouldn't necessarily be a good idea. Later down the road when I'm more experienced, I might be able to try to work on it. But for the first time, it's best for me to try and stay relaxed as possible and people just wouldn't help that.

Eating it with peanut butter was your first mistake, empty stomach for this, lipids don't help, secondly you could have gained a synergistic effect if you had eaten a moderate dose of good pot half an hour before eating your. 6 gram dose.

Then you would have had to go somewhere, do something solo, no games or TV.

You would have noticed it

Taking these at night with plans to pick up your friend for school the following morning was your first mistake !!!!!

Man those could have been pan cayans or liberty caps for all you knew and those are some crazy strong shrooms. Your probably lucky it was more likely a variety of cubensis. Shrooms sure are great with the right setting and if you have anxiety problems a sitter may be what you need for a first dose. As other have said it's not so much a high as it is a trip and expecting different is setting yourself up for being overwhelmed when it really starts peaking. For me I need to "shroom" with people that took shrooms with me from the start, interaction with an outsiders they are on a different wavelength as I've always called it and that is just freaky to deal with.

Don't rush it, take it alone at home or have plans at some point shortly after dosing. Get some friends together and enjoy it one evening with a good day after to relax and joke about what just happened.

I've never had a trip last more than 6-8 hrs..at least the heavy part, and that was after 10gs..the residuals last a day or two..euphoria, general sense of well being, etc. I'd be willing to bet you slept through most of it..lol..have any vivid dreams?

Oh and i would suggest having a friend with you when you do them..me, and a few people I've talked to, get very introspective as we come down and start evaluating our lives...good to have someone around to keep you grounded.

Depends if it's true anxiety..or he's just more introverted..I'm very introverted. I prefer to be alone most of the time, never had a strong desire to be with someone..either socially or romantically, I really just can't stand the company of most people..I only have 3 people i really associate with other than family, and then a few acquaintances..but that's it..no interest in adding anymore people in my life. Only reason I posted is because all of my childhood and early adult life i was forced/told I HAD to go out and socialize and change. And comments like this strike a nerve..some people just aren't social people, and the rest of the world needs to stop pushing their ideas of "normal" on everyone else..

I have a friend who wants to try them for the first time... Do you think it would be a good idea to get some more and trip with him? i think then at least I would be calmer knowing that I'm not the only one tripping. We've smoked together on many occasions and we always enjoy ourselves.

I'm gonna try and get more this weekend. I want to do this right.

well said

probably not a bad idea. personally, i always preferred to have a ...somewhat..sober person around whenever i tried new drugs..

please don't let social anxiety stop you from having a sober friend around for when you take a proper dose. i made the mistake of taking my first large dose by myself and ended up in jail for the next month. not saying that's likely to happen...but these trips can get intense. i find with shrooms the experience varies greatly from trip to trip. some trips you just laugh for hours with a great body high, while others are a very intense, mystical experience.
