Tryptamines First trip after ablation

Its been about 3 weeks since my cardiac ablation surgery for svt and I wanted to see how I would handle some shrooms.
After a few not so comfortable trips on 4g mushies I decided to take a break until after I had my heart procedure. Having the thought of having a svt episode while under the influence of mushrooms is never a good combination.
Last night seemed as good a night as any. I set up the camper like usual with my Bluetooth speaker and a tea candle.
Its a small 17 foot bantom flier.
A woven blanket with different shades of green and red stripes overs the front where the bed normally folds out to make a tent style sleeping area. A small throw with a wolf Patterson covers the windows across from the small dinette.

I weigh out a perfect 1 gram shroom of albino mckilla gorilla and begin to slowly munch. First the stem, then 20 minutes later the cap.
Here goes nothing. It took about 45 minutes before the yawns kicked in and I knew things were about change.
I made myself comfortable, lit my candle and turned out the light.
I put on a psychedelic mix that I had pre selected, closed my eyes and watched the closed eye visuals dance around the inner depths of my mind.
I normally dont get cev with such a low dose but its been a couple months since my last trip and this strain is one I've never tried before.
These cev were more circular and darker colors than the bright lighter ones im used to on penis envy. The comeup felt like I was on a swing swing higher and higher as the music built in intensity. Blues and green circular patterns spiraled beneath my eyelids.
So far so good. No heart pains or uncontrollable shaking. During the usual mushroom bathroom break i was shocked at how strong the open eye visuals were. The patterns on the walls swirled and did the usual psychedelic dance. The rest of the trip went smooth and the comedown was fairly soft with the lesson I needed from this trip.
I finished the night listening to random songs and reflecting what I just encountered.
I'd did seem more like a 2 to 2.5g trip rather than just 1g.
Anyways, thanks for reading
 
probably stronger with the surgery break in routine, very cool to have a trailer like that for private time.
did you pop out the tent or just cocoon in the shell. what kind of climate are you in?
anyway, sounds great.
keep on shrooming!

Its still a little cold at night to pop out the tent so I just cacooned it. It has everything I need though. Kitchen, fridge, table and a bench/ couch. Toilet and shower.
If I can figure out how to post pics I'll post some pics of it. Its quite comfortable for curling up and going on galactic journeys.
Our climate fluctuates a lot. Mostly hot summer and short sub freezing winters. Although it can be bipolar. 80f in spring one day and 30f the next.
 
Fascinating. My wife had a heart ablation in 2022. She is not really a tripper but would take a dose on occasion if I asked her too. But since the ablation I had been thinking I can't risk someone taking a psychedelic after that. And the lack of experience in her makes all the difference. I know things like LSD and mushrooms don't directly affect heart, but the mind is a powerful thing. But now may revisit with her. I mean even a gram of mushrooms can lift depression.

Nice post. Important.

It has helped tremendously with mine. I was an iv meth addict for 20 years and have been off all hard drugs for almost 10 years. Just the occasional joint and shrooms every couple weeks. Unfortunately it left me very numb and unable to feel emotions until I discovered shrooms.
 
Psychedelics do affect the heart directly though. The heart expresses both 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors. One known possible consequence of activation of 5-HT2B receptors in the heart is valvulopathy. It's also possible that activation of 5-HT2A/B may possibly have positive, medicinal effects in certain circumstances. I say possibly because the conditions in which benefit or harm occur are not fully understood between people, different 5-HT2 agonists, and patterns of use.

In my opinion anyone with known heart problems should exercise caution and moderation at the least. Heroic doses and frequent use (including "micro-dosing" regularly) are probably a lot riskier than an occasional mild trip at least. Take care.
 
One of my cousins has been a professional touring musician since 1969 and I found out he was a big user of LSD only recently - in the '90's he had a heart valve replaced with a pig valve, and recently he had that one replaced with a mechanical one.
Maybe the LSD aggravated the situation.
I really have no clue, but it is not stopping me. I don't know if he still uses Lucy. Love the guy but not his music so much and he lives far away and I don't like driving that much.

The stuff they've done with animal parts (well pig hearts, mostly) I find really interesting.

Devices like this are really interesting to me, too.

I have a condition that effects the heart and I haven't tried LSD yet, but I definitely want to.
 
yikes that looks so invasive. @abefourth
I have some heart damage from taking iron prescribed by a doctor for my hemachromatosis (hereditary low hemoglobin anemia) but that aggravated my iron levels which means my heart, liver, and kidneys started to store too much iron.
I was always a bit tired and not sporty, but I do love easy sports like rollerblading and walking.
the bad part about that for my heart is that extra stored up iron causes short circuits,
so I have a left bundle branch issue,
but this does not affect my valves,
and I just keep on doing my LSD doses between 25 and 60 ug 2 or 3 times per week as I have done for the last 20 years more or less.

Pig's (replacement) heart valves do eventually wear out naturally. Pigs normally only live 20 years, so after that period of time transplanted valves are working beyond Mean Time between Failure and are fair game for replacement due to "wear and tear."

Just say'n ...
 
well some volkswagens are on the road 80 years later, so the mechanical valve will most likely last for the whole set on this stage.
MTBF is the average of the probability of failure and not a measurement of how long every sample will last I totally agree and yet I know by experience that most 80 y/o Volkswagens will have at least some valves replaced by now, perhaps more than once. :cool:

They go on, I agree 👍
 
I plan to do 1.5g of tidle wave this weekend. Maybe 2. I have to admit I miss my regular dosage of 3 to 4 g every other week. It was the perfect dose. Not to strong and not to weak. Always a guaranteed mental breakdown and reboot.

I still want to slowly build myself up to the 7g trip I had pland before the incident with the melting paramedics and color changing dog. When you think you taking a micro dose and it turns out to be a heroic dose. There is no way they didn't know I was about to be tripping balls.
