Did you fall in love with psychedelics the first time you tried them? The first time I took mushrooms it was a feeling I'd been looking for my entire life. It was just after my dad died so I was totally greif stricken and depressed (I never touched a drug till I was 30). I took some mushrooms and I was laid down for an hour and half during the comeup and then I stood up and went to the bathroom and turned the light on and this wave of hilarity and euphoria hit me - I was doubled up laughing saying "I have never felt as good in my entire fucking life". Absolutely head over heels in love.

That feeling has never left me. The best way of describing is life had been like being dragged along by a raging river all my life and then mushrooms put a hand into the water and pulled my head out and gave me time to think and breathe for the first time.
 
Kinda not really. My first psychedelic experience was with mushrooms, which just aren't my thing. They make me way too introverted and anxious. I didn't fall in love, but it did precipitate a fascination.

Once I tried LSD, only then did I fall in love.
 
Yeah my first trip was on mushrooms and it was love at first trip. My first acid trip was not, it was a sort of ho-hum awkward and slightly anxious trip. But for some reason I could tell that I needed to try again - bought a whole sheet and found it to be amazing and never looked back.
 
no... me and a friend from my town didn't know where to take them, so we went to our friend out of towns house cause his mother used to let use drink... it just sucked cause my friend is a dick. i was looking at the full moon, and it looked really trippy and he was like "come on man, it's just the moon" and he was pretty negative about it. we went to his neighbor's house that was this older girl and it was pretty trippy cause there was a lot of cool wood panneling in her house, but i couldn't settle into feeling relaxed. then we went back to his house and my friend's ex girlfriend came over and it was just super awkward... i had about 2.5 grams of some decent shrooms and it just sucked. before my friend's girlfriend got there, he was trying to shoot a mouse with a b.b. gun... super stupid shit... i had some ice cream in his fridge that i bought and he said he gave it to his mom. disappointing too.. i basically couldn't get any visuals cause my friend kept bugging me out.

i had some alright experiences with shrooms after that. taking them alone was fun when i realized i could just take them when my parents went to bed and no one would know... i like to be alone... idk... i started taking 5meo-amt and some other research chemicals about a year after trying shrooms. i enjoyed those even more... shrooms were pretty good... i did them weekly through out my twentes, but to answer the thread no i didn't have a very good time on my first trip.
 
My first trip, i.e. my first experience on a serotonergic, was with ayahuasca/DMT I prepared for myself. It was not so much a case of love at first trip, rather it felt like an initiation. It was so powerful and broke me down to nothing, causing me to plead for "reality" and "time" to come back as they were. And then I reconstituted and felt absolutely exhilarated. I felt intense love and gratitude for everything. I still had some lingering visuals but felt incredibly sober mentally, like so much of my life that came before had been kind of foggy and detached.

Afterwards, I found the whole experience to be fascinating, and even though I had felt quite overwhelmed and fearful for much of my trip, I felt strongly compelled to return. If nothing else, I viewed the fear as a challenge to overcome. I had many anxious trips after that one, mostly with mushrooms over a couple of years, but whatever I had to go through coming up, I almost always felt magnificent while coming down. Later on, I got to try LSD and had a more positive experience, and eventually I discovered psychedelic phenethylamines like mescaline and 2C-I, and I found those a bit more to my liking than most tryptamines.

Though these days I'm experimenting with mushrooms again and am appreciating how nice they can be at lower doses. So while I absolutely love psychedelics now, my relationship has always had an element of challenge. I still tend to get at least a little anxiety when tripping, albeit often worse before I actually take the drug than after.
 
for me it was a typical case of a buddy just after I graduated high school being like "yo I found some acid, wanna try it". I figured why not, and I consider that one of the best nights of my life. Especially at a point in life where if feels like you're locked down, going into colleges, jobs, and all that jazz it gave me a stark reminder that our concouoisness is so much greater than the limits our society has placed on it. Not tryna say it inspired me to become a revolutionary or anything, but definitely it showed me that we're capable of so much more. I really enjoyed that experience, and it led to me to do more while remaining respectful of it.
Mushrooms, I was a bit more nervous for, and the first time I tried them I was actually on Ketamine, so I had a hard time processing the experience. either way the passion for psychadelics was there
 
For me it was. Tried mushrooms once and had a blast but it was also kind of a low dose. So really fun but kinda uneventful. It sparked the curiosity though.

A year later my then girlfriend managed to buy a couple of tabs for us. My first full trip was on one of those tabs. To this day an experience I still look back on kinda regularly. Definitely a formative moment, on par with falling in love for the first time, or discovering my favorite music. Took me out of a depression I had been struggling with gor years, changed the way I saw myself and ny relationship with the world, and started a lifelong interest in psychoactive substances.

Yes, for me it was love at first trip.
 
My first mushroom trip was a mushroom chocolate bar. I can't recall how much was in it, but I ate about half.

It was the most fun I had ever had at that point in my life. It created a euphoria almost comparable to MDMA.

I've had plenty of good experiences since then but that first one was something special.
