Short and simple my friends I wanted to try mushrooms, sadly in our area they never came around. So we exerted our own will and hard work and soon enough we had more than we knew what to do with. I had a special connection with these little buddies; I watched them as they grew up to become my catalyst for enlightenment. This was in January but I clearly remember it, I managed to write down the most prominent details the day after as well.

I had very limited experience with psychedelics at this point; I was 18 at the time and about 200 pounds. After researching online with my friend let’s call him A, we decided it would be best to not even give ourselves a chance to fight it, we made a resolute pact for a 6 gram trip our first times. Well we had a house and a weekend to ourselves and they had just finished drying so we went for it. We had them in jars and we actually ended up doing 6.5g just because there were 13g in the specific jar. We threw them into a blender and added about a cup of orange juice and down the hatch it went.

Tasted like peanuts and orange juice not horrible tasting but not great. I had horrible anxiety at this point, mostly because I just ingested 6.5 grams of mushrooms with almost no psychedelic experience. I then proceeded to come up, it was the most horrifying and blissful experience ever. At one point I almost had convinced myself to make myself throw up, but didn’t. It was waves of intense strange anxious just feelings; it would then give way to crazy euphoria and back again. This went on for about 45-60 minutes. Then I blacked out, for what seemed like an instant.

Suddenly I was thrown back into my friend’s living room; he was looking at me intensely from across the room. I would also like to note that the room was red, then blue, then yellow, and continued to change color. I remember telling him how cool it was inside here and he said “wait until you see outside”. It was winter, I was already prepared with a coat, and attempted to put my shoes on. I was staring at my feet and in amazement my shoes were shrinking; I couldn’t stop thinking how they never were going to get on my feet. But they did, also as I was focusing on my feet the room had then changed to like a kid’s play area. I remember my friend A bolting across the room with a goofy looking toy hammer (it was huge).
I look up and normal again is the room, so we head outside. The trees looked like nothing I have ever seen, twisted and looked like something from an alien planet. I remember the lights the best though, there were colored lights blue and red on the tree’s glowing. I smoked a cigarette and that was just dandy, it was cold so I went back inside. We smoked a bowl, and I remember not being able to stare at anything for over 10 seconds the patterns would just start to envelope me. I remember seeing faces in just about everything as well. We tried to go on his computer but neither of us could figure out how to operate it and gave up.

Our trip sitter was playing some weird black and white shows. I hallucinated men in the TV on the show flying upside down, running in circles and doing all sorts of just trippy shit. Then it got bad, I started seeing people everywhere like shapes of them just chilling everywhere. I saw my other friend (who was not present he was miles away) appear and start to question me about how I was enjoying it. After this happened I honestly don’t remember much, it just turned into pure insanity. I couldn’t comprehend anything and it pretty much was a blur of various images anything from other worlds to just the strange visual patterns. I do remember like an eye of the storm moment though, I walked into the living room and my friend A was destroyed. He was messing with the blinds in a very violent manner saying “We need more light in here!” I had no idea what that was about. We calmed down and smoked a bowl; I took a long draw and passed out for a second time. I was inside all sorts of weird situations about personal problems (very intense feelings of sorrow at this point) but it passed and I felt good. Woke up to my friend A putting in avatar.

I remember looking at the TV and looking down and I was one of the blue people (can’t remember their name). I climbed around and it was really fun it didn’t last very long though. Then I had to convince A we shouldn’t go rent a hotel room, I felt bad because he really wanted to go do it. After a while of toking we were coming down this was like 6 hours in, I remember feeling really terrible like my brain was just mush. But then like 30 minutes into that intense euphoria, it was amazing.

There are many things I didn’t include because it would have been very long. But really I had a great experience with a very large dose and my first time even. It was everything I was expecting and more!
*I have since tripped on 3 grams and found the experience to be on par with this one. Although I enjoyed the randomness of such a high dose!
 
Adding weed into the mix for your first time might have been what caused the unpleasant parts of the trip.

Sounds awesome though.
 
I would have to agree about the weed, although it was nice coming up. I'm just in awe over this substance. It felt so natural in the sense that once it had started it was like It felt completely normal to being seeing all these bizzare things.
 
Totally disagree... I've bad a BAD TRIP and I want to help you avoid that. First thing, make sure you've got someone around to hold you down in case you freak out. Second, I seriously recommend having benzodiazepines and a smokable opiate on hand in case things get bad. Your mind can play with your emotions like crazy.

Also you can potentiate the mushrooms by making tea with them and putting in some citiric acid. There's not much point in actually eating the mushroom cellulose because its inedible. Just soak them in hot water for 10 mins and toss them out. Drink the water.
 
chch, thanks for the tips. I could see how a benzo or opiate could really help if things got gnarly. I have a question, is their anyway to manipulate your trip? To my understanding your environment plays a large role in how the trip pans out, but by playing a specific music or doing a activity could you? It's not at all because I didn't enjoy my trip because I quite liked how random it was, I'm just curious!
 
It's like meditating, if you can control your thoughts then you can have a great time. But most people can't really do that well or at all. I'd say you'll get the "mind's eye" shifting colors effect regardless of where you are or type of music, but I haven't done mushrooms anywhere except at home. At a rave or nightclub wow that could be something else. A bad trip can only last a couple hours in my experience. It's happened to me not really because of environment but just that I get a feeling of being out of control.

Music with a strong beat is worth trying to see if you can sync it with the pulsating colors.

The other thing to watch out for is the "gut rot" which is abdominal pain before and after the actual high. Even just drinking the tea it still happens to me. I've had it bad for 30 mins before the high kicked in, and then on the tail end another 30 mins. Unfortunately orally administered painkillers take too long to digest to help at that point. IF you have smoked opiates and you're comfortable with dosing then I recommend having a little on hand just in case things get out of control. There were a couple times years ago that I wished I had some.

Have a good time. btw really have someone with you or at least a neighbor or something that will calm you down.

Having opiate and benzodiazepine on hand is I think a kind of harm reduction, just to prevent a possible freak out and the potential ambulances, police that would show up. But be sure you know safe dosages.

Also, the citric acid can make it seriously much more potent in my experience. I think it helps to dissolve the active chemicals into the tea. If you just eat the mushrooms then it doesn't matter. That might be just BS, but I'm warning everyone that you should be careful and not take very much if you add citric acid. It felt many times stronger to me, and that isn't necessarily a good thing if you are not prepared for it. But, if there's someone with you to keep you safe, then maybe.

A bad trip can happen to even experienced users, unexpectedly.

Also, these mushrooms are not poisonous in any way. Don't believe the crap that it's a poison making you high, thats total shit propaganda urban legend stuff. It's not going to actually harm your brain in any way physically. But if you freak out you'll have some bad memories.

If you take a high enough dose you'll barely be able to walk around. I was falling all over the place on some of my trips. So I don't know what kind of physical activities would be right.
