  1. Be nice, I want to encourage playful safe spaces.

Hey!! I'm an aspiring psychonaut, I've bought some shrooms that I wanna try out soon. I've had a growing interest and I've been wanting to try this out for a while now.

Do you guys have any advice for someone who never did psychedelics before? Rock on!

The key is set and setting. What that means is being in a good place mentally to experience the trip (mindset) as well as being in the proper setting that is very comfortable, clean, and safe. Also having a sitter is a good idea as long as you're comfortable with them.

Be somewhere where you will feel safe and make sure you don't have anything that needs doing that day. No plans for something you need to rush too, etc. For a beginner the other comments are pretty good advice, start with a low dose and enjoy it. That means less than 2.5g (dried).

Psychonaughts wiki also has a good page on this: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushrooms#Dosage_and_preparation
