Last night me and two of my best friends (we'll call them A and J for now) picked up 7.5 grams of dried "California gold caps," around 4:30 or so. We drove to my house and divided up the shrooms(we all got approximately 2.5 grams, consisting of 5 caps each and a fair amount of stems), ate them, and then decided to meet up with our friend C that lives about 20 minutes away. BAD IDEA. For some reason these shrooms started to kick in about 15 minutes after ingestion. AND THESE WERE DAMN GOOD SHROOMS! So I found myself, hurtling down the highway at 70 miles an hour, feeling like my soul is being ripped from my body as I'm having the most intense come-up I've ever had. We got to to the mall to pick up C from work, and I tell them that I can no longer drive because I'm tripping BALLS. I let A drive my car because he said he wasn't feeling anything at all, and we were only about 10 minutes away from our final destination (his house).

We made it there, and I was feeling the shrooms so intensely that I just had to lay down. At this point I felt MASSIVE anxiety as I prepared my conscience for what I was sure was going to be complete ego loss, which thankfully didn't come. I threw up and told my friends we had to get the fuck away from A's house, it was just oozing bad vibes for some reason to me and I was scared as fuck. We had C drive us to J's house which is about 1/4 of a mile away, and I immediately felt a hundred times better as soon as we pulled into the driveway. At that point it had been about 45 minutes since ingestion, and A and J finally started to feel it. I laid down on the couch and stared at the popcorn-ceiling in awe as it fractalized into a million rainbow patterns and started swirling around. The stripes on the couch appeared to jump out into the air and dance around. Absolutely EVERYTHING was giving off the most intense rainbow colors I've ever seen in my life. After about 10 minutes or so we were all calmed down enough to go outside, and we set off on a journey.

we walked down this creek path about a mile, out to this massive marsh (Suisun/Grizzly Island area, if anyone knows where that is). On the way there we were all having the most intense visuals, faces in the cement, faces in the bushes, the stars appeared to be just inches away. We crossed a busy road and finally made it out into the marsh. A was leading the way out to his favorite fishing spot. When we got there, I was completely and totally awestruck. We were sitting on this small "cliff" if you can even call it that (it was about 2 feet above the water) just staring out into the fog. I could see waterfalls floating above the ground, and the fog was just a massive field of hovering and shifting colors and patterns. I was in a state of complete euphoria, and total bliss. I felt completely at peace with myself, the world, and every one and everything in it. A hundred percent in love with every living creature, and compassionate to my very core about making sure I try my hardest to be the best person I possibly could be from that point on. After about 20 minutes there we started walking back, and this is when the visuals started getting totally ape-shit. Everything was trailing so intensely that I almost couldn't see, but I was loving every second of it. Our friend H called C and met up with us at this park, where she gave us a much appreciated ride back to J's house, it was about 40 degrees out and we'd been walking for about an hour and a half at that point, all in jeans and hoodies. Of course, none of us minded the cold, but we all knew our bodies were freezing.

We made it back to J's house where we watched star wars for about 5 minutes, played some super smash brothers and mario kart, smoked cigarettes, and just chilled. When I started to come down I drove us out to one of my favorite spots in the world, the Glashoff ranch. It's a ranch that's absolutely full of ten foot high, abstract metal sculptures made by a guy named Phillip Glashoff. You can check out some of his work here (http://www.phillipglashoff.com/installations/private/index.html). By now I'd almost fully come down off the shrooms, but somehow, through my sober eyes, I was seeing the most beautiful sights of my life. I reclined the front seat of my car and stared out into the sky through my sun-roof, and everyone in my car was absolutely silent, just awestruck for nearly an hour. We got to talking about how amazing it is that God created things as beautiful as the valley we were in, and the stars above us, and how odd it was that we all agreed on the world being far more beautiful and perfect with our vision clear. It was like coming down off the shrooms gave us all a complete new perspective on the universe, and allowed us all to fully appreciate God's work.

I've been on somewhat of a shroom binge the past few days, shrooming twice in the last three, and I'm planning on entering mushroom land at least 2 more times this week. I've found that right now I'm at a point in my life where I feel that, after 18 years, God's plan for my life is finally being revealed to me. He's been granting me gifts in the form of music and verse that I've been writing, and it is absolutely beautiful. I was previously always anxious about eating shrooms, but now I feel like they truly are the greatest tool I have ever been given for bettering myself. I am refreshed, and I finally feel content with myself after struggling through over a year of depression. I've decided to greatly cut back on my use of ecstasy, and increase my time spent just interacting with people and spreading the love to everyone that will accept it.

I fucking love mushrooms.

Nice report, I can identify with a lot of it... "I could see waterfalls floating above the ground, and the fog was just a massive field of hovering and shifting colors and patterns. I was in a state of complete euphoria, and total bliss. I felt completely at peace with myself, the world, and every one and everything in it. A hundred percent in love with every living creature, and compassionate to my very core about making sure I try my hardest to be the best person I possibly could be from that point on."

Mushrooms are the only drug on which I've felt true "bliss"--on MDMA I've felt balls-out amazing, but it was a desperate, needy sort of amazing. The bliss of psilocybin is all encompassing, healthy, rejuvenating.

I gotta say, don't start abusing mushrooms, you'll burn out on them. You can lose the magic with mushrooms just like with E and that's a tragic thing. It's not the mushrooms that you love, anyway, it's the world, and the feeling of peace. That potential came from you, not the drug. Take what you've learned and apply it.

Mushrooms are an excellent soul-tonic, best done occasionally, after you've almost forgotten what it's like in there. In the meantime, if you like the way that transcendent feeling makes you feel blissful, connected, compassionate, look into yoga and meditation.

Yeah, I agree completely with the MDMA experience feeling desperate and needy... My first few times on E were awesome and not at all dissimilar to this shroom trip, except they weren't "trippy" at all. I'll definitely heed the warning about abusing, I've lost the magic on E and definitely wouldn't want it to go away with mushrooms.

I'd also hate to get stuck in the pattern of addiction that I'm sure many others besides myself have felt with MDMA... It's not an addiction where your body craves the drug, it's an addiction where your soul is just trying to feel at peace again, and no amount of drug you could ever do will satiate that.
 
Great trip report. I'm extremely jealous! I wish I was ur friend. It's unbelievable the things mushrooms can reveal to you that couldn't see before.

It's been three days since this trip and I still feel exactly the same as I did when I came down...

I mean obviously without the lingering body buzz and slight distortions of reality and stuff, but my consciousness and state of mind has not changed one bit. I've heard of people having life changing experiences on psychedelics but I never really believed it, I'd always just been trying to get fucked up, but earlier in the day I had been thinking a lot about changes I need to make in my life, and they seemed to be a constant thought in my mind while I was tripping. I came out of this just fully prepared to make those changes, and it's been almost completely effortless, I just AM the way that I want to be, I don't even have to try.
