Mushrooms (P. Cubensis) ? First Time ? Long report

I had wanted to do magic mushrooms for a long time, and when we finally got our hands on some, that was the day when I just had to trip. Although there was a bit of stress on me, my IT course finished in a few days, and I still had assignments to not just hand in, but to start. It was a pretty hot day too. We were at a friend’s place out in the country (lets call him A), who was not tripping, he was just going to get stoned. The 2 people I came with, and me, were the ones planning on eating the shrooms.

We measured out the doses, and all ended up with an ounce (28 grams) of fresh mushrooms each. So we ate them. I ate them whole, but got sick of the taste, which was not very pleasant, so I ate the remaining on crackers with salami.

It took about half an hour to 45 minutes to notice anything. Around this time I started feeling a bit light-headed and even started to feel a tiny bit sick. I noticed that something was definitely happening, but I was not sure what. Then I sat down some more, we were watching The Craic (Australian movie). About one hour after eating them, I was noticing that the entertainment cabinet seemed to be further away than it normally is, then a lot closer than it should be. I started to get body rushes that were different to those on acid, then about 1:15 hrs after I was in mushroom land, watching out for the white rabbit. Being my first time, I was cautious, knowing that even though I’ve done acid, these will be different. Then a friend, lets call him M, puts his feet up on a coffee table in front of me, I see about 6 feet on the table.

+1:15: Visuals are going with the body rushes, which sort of felt discomforting. Room seems to be turning colours. The cabinet is rotating and moving towards me. I stand up. Whoa. How weird is it to walk I think, I notice that the psilocybin are leaking into my thought process. I knew a hallucinogen this strong would not leave my mind alone. I sit back down, and the movie is finishing. Walls seem to be breathing, like they can on acid, although I don’t see this happen on acid. I look up at a poster, and notice it is all warping and moving around in ripples. I then notice that poster is actually made out of material, not paper, but that didn’t stop the other paper posters from doing the same thing. ;)

+1:30: Ok, I just have to see outside. We all decide to go for a little walk around the farm. I walk outside, and stand on a mat, not knowing what it was. I walk onto the grass but it feels like I am sinking into it, so I step back on the mat. (While looking for the rabbit I must of fell down its hole.) Then when everybody came outside, we walked down the back. The scenery was beautiful, I felt like I could stare at it for hours. I then looked at the ground and noticed it has changed colours. Patches of grass would be purple or pink, then blue and other colours. Walking around is very weird outside, since the grass was a bit long, I couldn’t see my feet which made we worry for a second about snakes. After about 10 or so minutes we walk back to the house. A friend (Lets call him R) and I start walking off down the driveway talking about what we are seeing. Then we are on the road and think we should go back to the house, since it is hot, and roads are not safe when tripping hard. When we are walking back, things really get weird. The gravel has changed colours, to a purplish colour, then to black and white, and even negative colours. I look around me instead of the ground and the nature around me is looking very odd in colours too. We walk back inside, and A puts on a video, a Stargate movie. I could not follow this movie at all, and people’s faces in the movie just turned all weird. The phone started ringing, and it was someone saying they are coming over with 2 other people (two of them I knew, one I didn’t). I continued to look around the room, while A starts playing Leisure Suit Larry. The music to this game was very trippy, and it sounded like to me that someone had a sound pitch knob and was quickly turning it back and forth. Then I noticed whenever someone talked (and this included the movie) it echoed a lot, about 3 or 4 times per word, but quickly. (This happens on nitrous to me as well, for a moment.)

+2:15: The people arrive, and they decide they’re going to go for a swim in the pool. We stay back watching the movie, which I still couldn’t watch at all. Everything sounded too weird and nothing made any sense at all. I couldn’t even make out a lot of the scenes. I was just watching stuff around the room, watching how every now and then the whole room would just start glowing red, watching stuff come closer, and go further away. Watching cycling colours over the walls, and outside through the sliding glass door. The sky had turned weird colours, orange, then pink, etc.. While this was happening I could see tree branches outside, turn into weird colourful rotating devices, that seemed to go along with the music of the game. At this point there was not a thing in the room not moving. I even saw kaleidoscope patterns over walls, that moved. And some Dragon Ball Z poster with little circles on it, start flowing through colours over and over, it was amazing, I never saw anything like this on acid (but then again I never took more than one hit at a time).

I started to think some weird things. I thought about how silly us humans are, how everything revolves around money, and other weird things we do. I wondered why we even had wars (simple, religion related most of the time, heh) and all this kind of thing like why can’t we all get along. But then I started thinking stuff like, what if we ate the wrong mushrooms, and I’m tripping so hardcore because I was dieing. I had visuals in my mind, of me in a hospital, with an oxygen mask on, unable to talk or move, with my parents looking down on me, looking sad. I thought about these kind of things, then thought, this is a drug, it’s fucking with me.

At this time I was sweating mad and a million different thoughts ran through my head. I had to get rid of this sweat, and was weird was that I was actually sitting under a fan. I got up, headed for the bathroom. I noticed a yellow towel on the shower door, it fell as soon as I walked in the bathroom which kind of freaked me out. I picked it up, noticing it was actually a blue towel. I was in a complete mind fuck. I then went to hang the now red towel back where it was. I noticed that the shower is a lot taller than it was a second ago. So I throw the orange towel up where it was. I stayed in the bathroom, and used some toilet paper to wipe the sweat off my forehead and back of neck. I then went to open the door, now explain this one to me, I had to actually reach up to the handle to open the door, I was shrinking! I then walked out and went back to my chair. The trees started doing what they were doing before, but this time they had a lot more weird nearly flannelette patterns. I was scared to go outside because I was sure the trees hated me, as I have probably harmed plants/trees in the past, and I was not sure what they are capable of. I could hear every now and then the trees talk with each other, as the wind blew their crazy waves of communication (sounded like soft gibberish in the wind), back and forth to each other.

+3:00: I look at my watch, I’m not sure what the time was, but this movie was going for ages, then what I thought was an hour or two later, I looked at my watch again and about ten or fifteen minutes had passed. Visuals were still going mad, I was convinced I was in a bad trip. Someone was talking to A and someone was saying things like “I’ve got to get back to the Casino” and “Just got married”. These pieces of conversation were out of context to me, but I thought he just got married today, and had to get back to a casino. Anyway, they were talking about the game I realised a bit later. Two people were talking outside, and I could see them in the corner of my eye talking, when I looked they weren’t there. When I saw them again, there mouths were in sync to what was being said in the movie. The sound was all echoing still, and it sounded like the pitch was being played with constantly. All this, everything in the room moving around, and I could even see about 2 or 3 light dots travelling randomly around the room with the sound. They would stop when I couldn’t hear anything. (This can only be kind of described by watching the end of the Radiohead music video “The Pyramid Song&#8221 ;) . This was fucking crazy.

Around this time I thought I was definitely in a bad trip, and was trying to calm myself down, but the million thoughts just kept at it, and these aren’t good with all the visuals and audio hallucinations that were going on. I tried to close my eyes, but I would just get swirling blurs of weird colour, so I opened them. Then the people that had came when we were tripping were about to head off, I wanted to talk to them, but all I could get out was “Yeah See ya’s”, in a quiet voice. I could not make eye contact because their faces would start to warp, even one guys back started to warp all over the place. They walked out the door and I so wanted to say, “Hey take me with you! To home or to the hospital!” But this would of freaked out my friends and sounded really odd. I couldn’t go home and face my parents, I didn’t know what exactly was wrong with me that I needed to go to hospital, but I was still sweating pretty bad. I was thinking and thinking. Thinking, “Yeah this is defiantly a bad trip.” Thinking how I wanted it to end, so I can go home. It seemed too much for all the bad thinking going on. This continued for a while, which seemed like weeks. Finally the movie ended, and we just sat around for a bit, I’m not sure if we were watching anything. I started looking at my hands and arms. They would look all small and skinny, and then look all big and fat. The crazy visuals and thoughts just carried on, I keep seeing new impressive stuff, but I just can’t take it all at this time. I was also thinking, “I am never taking a drug again! I’m not even going to smoke pot ever again!” Because for some reason I thought pot would make me throw up or something, or cough a lung out.

+5:00: Trip shows signs of coming off the peak. I was still getting a lot of nice and smooth visuals, no complete crazy shit. I started enjoying the trip again, laughed at my experience knowing I had learned something. I wasn’t as hot anymore. I started having fun. We put on Spawn the cartoon, and I don’t think this is the kind of thing you want to see when your tripping, but we watched it anyway. After a few episodes are over, we put on Ninja Scroll. Still noticing things moving and breathing, and still some nice colours. The red glow has came back into the room, which goes on and off for a while. Then suddenly, R gets a nosebleed, I know he gets these a bit, but M did not know and he gets really freaked out when R heads to the bathroom with a bleeding nose. He goes checks out how R is. They then say they got sudden heat and started sweating. R actually thought he was going to die, after seeing his own blood while still tripping, and thought he had eaten the wrong mushrooms. They both got worried, but it didn’t last that long.

+7:30: We are still tripping a bit and we go for a walk, which was quite good. We saw some nice scenery and then walked back to the house. After that we pretty much headed off home.

This happened about a bit over a month ago. I want to do mushrooms again soon. I am thinking of taking the same dose, because this time I have no assignments, failing IT courses and that sort of stuff on my mind. I also know what mushrooms are like now and think I could most likely control the trip, so a powerful trip remains a good trip the whole time.

I hope this wasn’t too boring, maybe I shouldn’t have made it so long. I’d like some feedback, because if it’s too long I can edit it down to a smaller size. I just wanted to tell as many effects possible as I thought they were very interesting, and people that have never done mushrooms before might like to read it.

I probably missed a bit of the trip in this report, but I think there's still a fair bit of information here, and sorry, but the times would not be spot on. We didn’t time this trip, and remember mushrooms give great time distortion so it was hard to work all this out. I think the experience did last for about 7 or 8 hours though, which is a bit more than the 4-6 quoted by most sites.

Great report, nice and long :) Mushies are still on my list of things to try.
 
Hey don't apologize or feel bad about the length...just say what you think needs to be read and the right people will appreciate it. I almost wanted more detail...it sounded amazing, even though it must have been freaky at some points. I still have yet to try shrooms, and I can't wait until I do. Just one thing--on acid, I strongly dislike how I get those racing thoughts, they make me nervous and paranoid, and I can't speak. Do shrooms cause this too, and to what extent, compared to LSD? Thanks, peace.
 
Thanks for the replies people. :)
Ur*TyPiCaL*BeAtFrEaK*: I read your report :) My friend even replied to it. Mushrooms are very powerful, it can go any way.
BlueMonday: The racing thoughts/mind fuck is worse on mushrooms in my opinion. It seems so easy to get paranoid on them, so make sure only do it with close friends. Planning is essential.

Great report, great detail!
I love shrooms, love the way everything glows red and green -- it reminds me of those 3-d goggles you know? And you look through them at the red/green pic and it sticks out and glows a bit...
I often find the mindfuck gets a bit yuk at the tail end of the trip. You're not tripping anymore but you still have that clarity, the key to the universe (thinking about the futility of such concepts of war as you were, etc. -- try figuring out the point of tennis and competition sports! :) it's hilarious, one time on shrooms I was watching the American Open finals with my mum who's a tennis fanatic and I annoyed her no end... "what's the point of playing? why do they want to win anyway?" ad nauseam!), and if you turn that perceptual clarity in on yourself it can get pretty fucking uncomfortable. Same with acid and all, but it seems to be clearer, more straightforward and direct, and you get those rush of thoughts where you're just EXAMINING yourself and you realise all your fuckups, etc. It can be beneficial of course but momentarily uncomfortable and a little upsetting.
I don't really know what to say, you covered everything so nicely in your report, but welcome to the wonderful world of shrooms! :D
 
Thanks kafren :)
Talking of 3D glasses, wonder how they would be on shrooms. My guess would be scary, but fun.
I understand what you're talking about on the mindfucks. I look at alot of things us humans do, and just ask myself Why, why why.. :)
 
I liked the report....very well written :)
Just a question...the suburb where dis happened, does it start with a K and end with a T???
Just coz i live in NSW to and have had some shroom s from such a place.
 
yo man dont appoligize for the long report! - i loved it! - it definately made me want to try shrooms. let us all know how the second time is!
 
Great report it makes me want to shroom this weekend if i do i'll be sure to post my trip.
 
Isn't it funny how someone can explain such a graphically bad experience and as a result, people here are motivated to join in..
Not being in control of your thoughts is a scary thing..for any human..espcially when they are racing- a hundred at a time..many of them bad...(bad for most according to the reports here)
I have respect for people that can gain control and enjoy themselves during a trip. wish i could.
 
Yeah, but its all good when its over. You know exactly what happened after your first time, and next time would be easier to control it, as you arent always in for a surprise. I am sure my next mushie trip will be a good one :)
But if you go into the trip expecting it to be bad, because of a past experience.. it most likely will.
 
Nice report; a little tip for anyone with some guts. After coming down from your peak make yourself puke. It will make you tripp harder than your peak, it allows more of the chemicals to absorb into you blood stream that you wouldn't absorb because of your stomach digesting them. I found this on accident once when I puked when I was coming down because the gummi bears I was eating freaked me out and made me puke. As soon as I did it I ran around my whole dorm building out of control because it hits you so quick and hard you don't have a fucking clue what is going on for a minute. Some girl tried to ask me what I was doing and her head turned into a snake thing that kept coming at me so I said aghh and ran off as she was talking to me. I then went and layed down on my friends floor and watched the ceiling for an hour. It was weird I was watching this really fucking crazy cartoon on the ceiling. It hard nurses walkiing like robots with syringes doing all kinds of crazy shit. No I didn't do any other drugs that day. A few friends have tried it since I told them about it and they will all agree it makes them trip even harder and longer. One friends thought he died then I brought him back. He dressed himself in a dress shirt with a tee shirt over it, dress pants, one dress shoe, and one tennis shoe. He almost ran onto the freeway before we stopped him because one kid told him it would be fun to run near the cars. If you try it you will agree you trip a lot harder. More for your money and on a tight budget college budget it is definately worth it. Of course it would be worth it any other time. Be prepared to be totally mind raped though.
 
good report!!! Sounds like you had a similar experience like mine a few days ago except you could handle your shit a lot bitter!!! Oh well, I'll just stick with X...rock on dude
 
Sounds like an awesome trip Splatt....
Got the usual "Im Tripping So Hard, Cos im Dying" Feeling
Well Done Keep On Munching!!!
 
People, let me just say: My most memorable trips happened over 6 years ago; two trips, within 8 months. The first lasted for approximately 3 days, and ended with my spending 9 days immediately thereafter in a State Mental Facility. It initially took 2 very hefty syringes of Atavan (sp?), one in each buttock, to knock my edge off. I mean, I was THERE, knowhutahmsayin'?
Anyway, the second one also had a duration of three days, and landed my Self in the pokey for 29 days. I'm crappin' you negative.
Generously dispersed among those tripping days were many, many Strange Thoughts and Occurrences.Among them:
I made a cocktail consisting of milk, banana rum, and a little jolt of my very own urine. Just to see what God's Water tasted like. God's Water was a local metal band, a good one, and I happened to be listening to their CD at some point;
I made up my own language, and I could teach it to you now, but I won't;
I believed myself to be Kronos, Owner of Time, incarnate;
Everyone I came in contact with, everyone, was instantly identifiable as either "basically good" or "basically bad." To this day, I get those feelings about certain individuals, and their actions subsequently prove me right;
I ate nothing but Purina Dog Chow (Tasty!) and drank nothing but water (aside from the aforementioned cocktail) Also to this day, I fully believe we could all subsist on those two items alone;
I escaped from the County Jail in a county with a population somewhere around 500,000, so it "weren't no easy task."
I concluded very little from all that happened. I do know that I'm not crazy, and I'm not a criminal. All it takes to realize these things is spending a little time with people who ARE.
I have a beautiful wife, an equally beautiful son, and I've been gainfully employed since the week after I got out of jail.
Psylocibin has some amazingly beneficial qualities. Unfortunately, the average Authority Figure, when confronted by a man who is intent on meeting, if not becoming, a god, will throw that man into a cage so quick it's already next Thursday.
Be careful where you are, what you say, and to whom you say it, whilst venturing into psychadelics. Some doors can never be closed.
Thank you for giving me a forum. It's a story with so many details and feelings, I really could write a book, I think. But I'm a terrible typist, so this will suffice for now.
Let Love Rule
 
you described that very well man, u said it in a good way and u made me laugh too..
"I then went to open the door, now explain this one to me, I had to actually reach up to the handle to open the door, I was shrinking!"
hahaha i've never tried mushies or lsd b4 but that sounds mad as!
i reckon the more detail you put into your post, the better too so no need to be sorry.
ciao ;)
