Shroom trip last night. First one of my life, Read my story.

[aguythatlikessmoke]

Last night we were all celebrating and partying it was my birthday and other peoples birthdays. I ended up getting shrooms, I was already drunk and fucked on speed before taking the shrooms I said why the hell not and I took a moderate dosage. Wow and this is the first time I tripped and I can just say Shrooms and psychedelic Drugs are amazing.
My trip was very good, awesome. And that night I was the only one tripping on shrooms but I can tell you what happened and what I experienced and I would like to receive some input from you guys. I took them around 11.30 last night Europe time, around an hour later I feel some effects or even 20 minutes later but its subtle what I found intriguing about shrooms is the first hour you notice subtle changes and a mild transition in the way you see the world not like other drugs Marijuana or Speed where it hits you 1 minute later.
The first main thing I noticed is that all of the lights seemed so much brighter and they had more colour to them and texture to them . Colours that I didn't see earlier suddenly appeared. We were out in the club by the way. In the start of the trip I noticed a mild mood lift and I was already fucked on the other stuff so I just kept talking to my friends and having a good time.
These mild effects persisted for an hour. But then an hour and a half later around 1 strong effects came about but dang I must say it was one of the most beautiful things that happened to my life, I can't explain just beauty. My body felt the heaviest it ever felt so I had to sit down on a table with friends they weren't tripping I was, I looked at the walls they were moving back and forth not a lot slight movements everything felt alive.
The Colours were so strong. I was able to talk to my friends about seemingly anything. A strong body high hit me and then a strong feeling of Euphoria it was unbelievable and then I suddenly felt relief from all the tensions in life and ease about everything and I just saw the world so positively , I felt a connection between everything the trees ,Humans. I felt like I understood life better it was a weird feeling but so good. All the colours were strong especially on the dance floor You guys know what I am talking about.
This strong high lasted 20 minutes then my trip was subsiding, I felt at ease for the rest of the night everything felt calm and the whole world felt beautiful all the colours were alive and I was dancing on the dance floor and really Just enjoying the moment.

Post is combined/merged from several seperate ones.

This is on Erowid and it explain how I felt intense feelings of wonder, connection, joy, I felt the most positive that I ever felt in my life last night.
I didn't hallucinate there were only subtle things like the walls were moving,breathing, Shadows had motion things of this Nature. The colours and sounds were very strong and I felt a strong Connection with everybody and everything and I was analzying my problems and coming to conclusions with things. I felt such a positive mental effect indescribable one of the best feelings in my life a very very positive mental state after the Euphoric state. Too hard to explain though its like one of those things you have to live through and that when it ends you don't even truly understood what happened. Such a positive state I could never acquire without mushrooms . I was just dancing on the dance floor looking at the colours my friends and the other people and I felt so content. Like a very strong Antidepressant effect.
...
it also gave me a different way of looking at life a new outlook yet I am uncertain if those feelings are persisting today because Today I feel like myself again and just tired from the hard partying.
...
The best part about the whole experience is there was not a single negative emotion it was a very positive experience.
...
And yea I understand Psychedelics now and a new feeling of openness and the ability to see the world differently and look at it differently. And for me last night I could just see so much beauty in the world , It is hard to describe though it is one of those moments you just experience on shrooms and then today I felt like wtf happened last night. And whilst I had the shroom trip I thought to myself this is better than sex this is just unbelievable. It is not about Hallucinations didn't hallucinate at all, Just those subtle changes. Yea the Music and the colours were a light brighter and I could hear the music better and enjoy it a lot more. Walls, Trees, etc were moving but subtle. The most profound part of the experience was the change of outlook on life and change of feelings and the mental effect I felt so positive and it was just unbelievable at the peak of the high I felt a body high were I couldn't move and incredible Euphoria.
...
I wonder if anybody had a trip like mine on mushrooms???? I guess I have good affinity for them.
...
and last night at the party everybody kept asking me what I felt but nobody could understand me. I have to say out of all the drugs I tried thus far Speed, Xanax,Klonazepam, Bromazepam Benzos Weed. That by far Shrooms transcend them all, Shrooms are just unbelievable. Wow. I think that every person should have a once in a life time chance to feel what I felt last night. Even urges to cry came up last night. I don't know why? But I even had an Urge to Cry because I was perplexed at how unbelievable this experience was!
...
Funny thing is it was my first use of a psychedelic ever and I took a moderate to high dose of Shrooms last night. I am risk taker. But I loved it.

lol you sound just like me after my first mushroom experience. You should really consider combining all of this and create a trip report for that section of the forums. Great read though. I would recommend you to cherish this trip because it will most likely be your best.

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

Man I am glad somebody felt the same thing that I felt, Can you describe some things you felt Speedy??? wow the feeling though it was unbelievable I am even laughing today at how it felt its like an orgasm in your brain.OMG

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

The main thing that I have to note with my trip was yes things did move, but I didn't have a hallucination the whole night nothing that I couldn't handle. Like the walls would move or breathe or stretch, Faces would appear on walls. I would feel more imaginative, Trees had more life to them.When I was in the Urinal the little holes in the Urinal where I took my piss they would morph size from small to Large and I looked at that and I was like wow, nice. The Colours were so strong it was especially great on the dance floor because the colours kept change but I would just stare at them it was cool and intriguing. I had a very strong Body high not for a long time but the peak of my trip was a strong Body high and I had to sit on table in a chair with my friends, that is when the good part hit, I would just Laugh about anything everything was funny and I felt a little comatose like I would stare of into space for a good 5 minutes and not say a single word but I enjoyed it, and then I felt a Euphoric feeling that this world can comprehend and yes one more thing I don't know if somebody else felt this but I actually felt the shrooms hit my brain because my brain was tingling the sensation was so beautiful and my brain orgasmed at that instant.

^I think you'll find that hallucinating is very different from how movies and whatnot portray it, at normal doses of mushrooms what you described are the primary visual effects. If you want some serious, heavy hallucinations I recommend DMT, or salvia, although be prepared for the trip to be unpleasant if you choose salvia.

All that stuff is pretty standard tripping style shit, and you feel great today because of an afterglow, I always feel great for several weeks after tripping. I recommend that you keep tripping but only do so occasionally, once or twice a month or less, and you'll find that most of your trips end up amazing like the first one. A lot of people end up getting jaded to the psychedelic experience after having tripped so much they get used to it. Congrats though, shrooms are awesome, and so are the other really major psychedelics (I consider LSD, DMT and mescaline to be the big 3, but mushrooms too, and others, are totally amazing in a similar way).

What dose did you take?

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

The tingling sensation on my brain lasted for a good hour and then came this positive outlook on life and this feeling that everything is beautiful it was so intense and beautiful and me and my friends went out to another klub and I just looked at the dance floor and at the people dancing and at that instant I felt so content about everything. I told my friends that night what I felt as well I explained it to them . The experience was life changing in a way because I never felt that good in my life, like wow it was Euphoric. Somebody please write a response, cause its bugging me that nobody wants to explain or interpret what happened to me!?!?! It also made me more open I was discussing things that were bothering me I felt at ease from Tension and Problems. I also felt this I looked at my problems through a window with an arrow and I laughed at my problems they seemed so insignificant at that instant. WOw it was unbelievable like I am telling everybody what I felt tonight. My trip was so good not a single feeling of anxiety anywhere. It was so positive. The tingling brain sensation I can't explain that and the tingling brain sensation also left me a little more awake and a girl told me I was glowing because I spoke to her and I would speak so much. Talking to people was so Easy so easy. And I felt this strong connection with everything it is so hard to explain and even today I am like wtf happened but it was good. Today I just feel like my old self and I am a lil more at peace and I am looking forward for the months to come in my life, things seem optimistic for me and I realized what I needed to becareful about .

What dose did you take?

I bought it from a friend and he told me that another one of his friends grinded up the mushrooms and they put them into capsules, it was strong stuff and he told me to only take one capsule but I ended up taking two. So it was a moderate to slightly high dosage.

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

@ Psychomimetic The messed up thing is I didn't know shrooms had such a physical component. I felt the high heart rate as the trip initiated, A major difference though for me between shrooms and other things is that shrooms come on very slowly 20 minutes pass you notice the lights are brighter and you ask yourself am I tripping? hence the reason I took the other capsule. The other physical component was muscular relaxation, Pupil dilation, strong feeling of heaviness in arms and legs and this was in the peak of my trip were I was laughing hysterically I had to sit down I couldn't get up. Strong feeling of heaviness in arms and legs is stronger than with Marijuana per say for me. I wonder if shrooms have any therapeutic effect for Pain not just Cluster headaches but other types of pain!?? And the other physical sensation was that tingling sensation on my brain/head and after that I felt the really good mood lift and the connection with the Universe.
Why Do you think I had such a good trip??? Why do some people have bad trips?? and yes I want trip again.
One more note I am noting my head is still feeling tingly today its like a band around my head but slightly it feels good.

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

Yes they will never know. I am glad that you know this feeling I am talking about.
It was great. I will check out Shroomery as well.
And today I am just reflecting and reminiscing on what happened last night it was grant.

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

All in all true beauty I was in awe last night.
It almost made me cry.
That is how much beauty I felt.

Ah yes young padawan, most psychedelics take a long while to come up if you aren't smoking or shooting them. Mushrooms typically take about an hour and 20 minutes for me to come all the way up. LSD takes me around 45 minutes, oral DMT (pharmahuasca) maybe 30 minutes to an hour, mescaline takes an hour or 2, all DOx drugs take me 2-2.5 hours to come up...

Smoked DMT and salvia hit instantly.

The come up usually involves physical and often mental discomfort for me, but then the rest of the trip is good.

When I first did psychedelics I became obsessed, they became my religion. In a way, DMT is the closest thing I have to a religion, I think it is a perfect projection of my consciousness. Moderation is the key to making sure all your trips are amazing, when I first tripped I thought I had found the keys to the universe and I went way, way overboard. Less is more with psychedelics, I can elaborate if you want.

All of that is par for the course- heaviness in the limbs, hysterical laughing, needing to sit down, tingling, connection with the cosmos... all normal. If you get into higher doses (I find LSD and DOC cause this particularly strongly), the really weird shit starts. Imagine all of your senses blending, you can taste colors and see sounds, feelings seem to be colors, etc.

It's fairly common to ask someone on acid how they feel and have them respond with something like "I feel really blue, but earlier I was green." Totally makes sense while high.


Also, maybe it's a thing that happens where you live, but I've never seen or heard of mushrooms being sold in gel caps. Did you look inside the caps? Was it obviously plant matter? It's possible someone sold you 4-aco-dmt, which is a lot like mushrooms, and told you it was shrooms. I have always bought dried or fresh shrooms, never powdered. I also don't know if it would be feasible to fit a dose of shrooms in a gel cap. I mean, a low (but common) mushrooms dose is 2 grams, 3.5 and up is usually a really strong trip. Yours sounds similar to what might happen from a gram or 2 of shrooms. So maybe each cap held a gram of shrooms, I just don't know if it would be possible to fit a gram of ground mushrooms in a single gel cap.

In the future I would recommend buying your shrooms un ground or opening up a cap and tasting the material inside. It should taste like dried mushrooms, very earthy and fungus like. It should also be grey-blue in color.


As far as good vs. bad trips, there are many reasons. The vast majority of trips are good though, bad trips can happen for a large variety of reasons. The best thing to do is just be prepared for unpleasantness. I tend towards having unpleasant trips myself, but I'm very good at managing and directing them and I still find the unpleasant trips worthwhile. It can help to have something reassuring you can say while tripping. I sometimes use Baba Ram Dass' quote "Life is a cosmic giggle on the breath of the universe", or I think about how the universe lacks all meaning, which I view as total freedom. But that's just me. Lots of people take recognizable objects with them to keep them somewhat grounded, I used to always keep a little plastic turtle that I had colored, a marble I'd had since I was a kid and a key in my pocket while tripping. When the confusion became overwhelming it was immensely calming to handle those objects.

For high dose psychedelics it's good to prepare yourself for a very spiritual, cosmic experience. And I think they are much better taken in a rural area, I never do heavy trips in the city.

I just read what 4 aco dmt is could be possible that I was sold that. But in the end I had a good trip I will probably buy it again or buy shrooms from another source, But I really enjoyed the effects.
What about potency what if he grinded up really potent shrooms??
The colour wasn't white, it was greyish-green and earthy.

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

in those two capsules he could probably fit .5 Grams. Maybe the stuff he gave me was potent, that is what he stated to me.
Also What happens when you trip more??? The guy who sold them to me told me the same thing you shouldn't take these everyday as tolerance develops. He sold me two capsules but told me to only take one tonight.
I ended up taking both.
It was my first psychedelic experience

 

[psychomimetic]

Don't get me wrong, I love 4-aco-dmt, I vastly prefer it to shrooms actually. But if I give someone money for mushrooms I expect to get them.

.5 grams of very potent mushrooms can cause a trip, but it would not be an extremely strong one. Here is what erowid says about dose- http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_dose.shtml

The fact that he warned you to not take more than one strikes me as being suspicious. Most mushrooms dealers would tell you to take 2 grams for your first trip, not half a gram (or .25, which is barely threshold level). That is a very unusual recommendation.

When you take higher doses of any psychedelic the experience becomes completely beyond words. There is no appropriate vocabulary to describe high dose tripping. Sometimes your everything, including your body, becomes energy and you feel yourself morphing into other objects, joining with them, you sometimes loose physical boundaries so you no longer know who where or what you are and if someone asked you couldn't explain how you are different than, say, a tree, or a desk, or any other object. Often times you don't know who you are and don't even see how anything is different, all of the cosmos truly become one. All senses blend, the universe dissolves...and still none of what I've said adequately explains it, it is truly beyond words.

You should look into DMT, smoked DMT is a good introduction to the world of high dose tripping because it is short acting and fairly easy to handle compared to, say, high dose mushrooms. But I would advise doing a few more low dose trips first, get a little more accustomed to the experience. Perhaps raise your dose by x amount every time you trip until you are satisfied, if you're getting shrooms maybe half a gram or 1 gram increase every trip or every other trip. Salvia is legal in most places and a very strong trip, although it's not the same as the serotonergic psychedelics.


Tolerance isn't the only reason to not do psychedelics daily. I've been through being a total burn out and I've seen a lot of people seriously destroy their minds with these drugs, and those people were typically using once a week or so (higher doses though). Psychedelics can be tools for self exploration, or they can be wonderfully fun recreational drugs, but they can also be abused in a dangerous way like any other drug. Being burnt out is no fun at all. That's why I think it's best to trip twice a month tops. Maybe a tad more on occasion, but less really is more. You will get more out of your trips and do less harm (read: no harm) to yourself if you moderate your dosing strictly.


I would highly advise finding a different source, I don't know what part of the world you're in but shrooms are easy to get in many places, if you can get speed and stuff you can probably get mushrooms. The gel caps thing strikes me as very sketchy, I would not be comfortable buying mushrooms packaged that way.

 

[aguythatlikessmoke]

But judging from the effects it was 4-aco-dmt? that is what you think?
Yea gel caps. I am in Europe, Eastern Europe. What happens when you Burn out on Psychedelics/????
How can you destroy your mind???
like get schizophrenia or paranoid???
Yea he told me before hand he would get me shrooms and when he came and gave me two gels caps I was a bit surprised my self.

.

 

[psychomimetic]

I have no clue what it was and can't make a good guess. Sounds like most mushrooms trips, but 4-aco-dmt and mushrooms are very similar, there's no way to know without being there. If you buy the caps again I would just taste some of the powder. If it tastes like dried mushrooms, it probably is.

I am totally unfamiliar with the Eastern European drug scene, so I have no idea if gel caps are common. Seems very weird to me though, I would opt for buying your shrooms un ground in a bag in the future. If you buy from the same dude you could ask him to not grind them up before he sells them to you, say you want them whole in a bag.

Paranoia and schizophrenia can definitely happen (seem to happen more to meth users), but I think it's more common to have what we in America call a burn out. It's hard to describe without meeting someone who's burnt out or being burnt out yourself. It's like you're never quite in reality. With different people, different things happen, but the common bits seem to be losing touch with reality, always feeling like you're in a dream, being mentally vague or weird or both, and becoming generally apathetic to the world around you. The stereotypical picture painted of acid heads is what a burn out is.

When I was seriously burnt out, I hallucinated constantly for months. Nothing huge, but everything felt like a dream and whenever I looked carefully at something it would begin to morph. I lost all interest in interacting with people or doing anything at all and in fact I did a lot of things to purposefully get people to leave me alone. I spent 6 months of my time laying around, staring at shit and not doing anything mentally productive at all. I spent another 6 months after that piecing together what was left of my fragile reality, because I had to completely rebuild my world view and perception. The drugs took all philosophical concepts I had away and I was mentally reborn to the point where I had to spend a long time determining exactly who I was. And I will never be the same person that I was before I changed my brain with psychedelics. That was caused by a few years of very frequent psychedelic use followed by a very, very heavy psychedelic drug binge that involved various psychedelics and stimulants, plus just enough klonapin to keep me alive.

For me, there is absolutely nothing more wonderful, more beautiful, than tripping. But tripping is toying with your own subconscious and conscious mind, and I think you should be cautious, because it is very possible to permanently alter your view of reality with psychedelics, for better or worse. I've seen a lot of people get great things out of tripping and permanently improve their lives, and I've seen a lot of people destroy their perceptions and personalities, leaving them a burnt out husk of their former selves. Psychedelics are easy to use responsibly, but many people go in with the assumption that no amount of tripping will harm them, and that is not true.

Also HPPD can happen, which is a condition worth reading about. And yes, permanent delusions can occur. But all of that is with very frequent use. Psychedelics are some of the safest drugs out there if you don't over use them. I wouldn't worry too much about negative effects, just don't trip too often and you'll be good.

read through everything you wrote sounds good. HPPD I read about it and Permanent delusions I see as well. Yea thanks for the warning I will use them safely then. I won't trip too much. I will also be more safe as to where I get my substances from.
anyhow i am out for now, I will write on this thread tommorrow if I have anything else that is important to say.

 

[psychomimetic]

Right on man, peace, happiness and safety. I'm always happy to read about people having great first trips, psychedelics are wonderful drugs that you can really get a lot out of.

 

[psychomimetic]

I guess it depends on your perspective, but I know where you're coming from saying that, I view a lot of popular beliefs sober people have as delusions. But at the same time, there are delusions and then there are DELUSIONS, if you know what I'm saying.

I was only referring to very heavy psychedelics users, not the average dude eating mushrooms every so often. Some people do go way overboard with tripping. There's an interesting book about psychedelics called "Breaking Open the Head" and towards the end of it homeboy starts thinking witches from the DMT universe are entering our reality to kill him.

I've met a lot of people that truly believed crazy shit about their trips and reality in general. People who think time is going to end soon due to increasing vibrations of energy at the earth's poles. Most of those people were relatively normal before they got into heavy psychedelic use. They were normal even when they tripped, but eventually your mind cannot handle constantly venturing so far into unreality. Psychedelics do alter your brain after heavy enough use, even if the alteration is due more to neuroplasticity than actual damage, it's still relevant.
