A bad trip can be caused by anxiety, dose, the setting, your company, or nausea.

Personally, I can't enjoy mushrooms due to the intense nausea I get from them. I've tried every method of ingestion and it makes no difference, every trip is horrible.

You say you've tried every way possible. I just wanted to check if you've heard of doing a lemon tek? In my experience most people haven't heard of this method, and it's the only way I can do shrooms because of the nausea.

Grind them up, soak in lemon juice for 30 mins and ingest (I personally add sugar and water to make a lemonade, make it easier to drink) So, although nasty to get down, I have no nausea with this method. Added pros or cons depending on your views: a faster come up with a more intense trip, and a shorter overall trip. Wait, what? How exactly? You might be thinking. Well there are two important compounds in your mushrooms. One of them makes you trip, the other metabolizes into the first in your digestive system. Soaking ground up mushrooms in lemon juice essentially give you a head start on digesting them, but there is nothing using up the one compound so the concentration builds until you swallow your dose.

Yeah, I've tried this method, along with some variations of it. Unfortunately I still had the intense nausea.

Thank you for the comment though!

Best method for me was to grind them up and put them in gel caps

This was actually the first method I used, as I bought them this way, before I grew my own. Unfortunately I experienced the same problem.

I've just accepted that my body doesn't tolerate shrooms, or atleast psilocybe cubensis. I may try the PE strain at a future date, if I can build up the courage.
