i have tried shrooms about 4 or 5 times and they all have been good trips. always be with someone and be relaxed. have a good attitude about doing it. dont think about having a bad trip, cuz then you will. just take a half an eighth at first, thats what i did. it was enough for my first time. the last time i did it i took a whole eighth and it was the best trip yet!! you trip for about 6 hours. it was soo awesome!!
