Adverse Physical Reaction to Shrooms: Is this possible?

[King Sasquatch]

So me and a few friends went to a Primus concert a few weeks ago, and we decided to eat some mushrooms before we went. We went to my dealer's house and he gave us what seemed like some of the best looking mushrooms any of us had ever seen. I decided to eat an entire eighth, as did two of my other friends, the other only ate half of one. We ate them in line and by the time Claypool was on stage, they were starting to kick in. I was having a great time until he got to about the middle of the third song, which was when I started to notice some physical side effects that I had never felt before on shrooms, or any psychedelic for that matter. It felt as if my body was pulsating, almost as if I was rapidly filling up with some sort of fluid and then deflating again repeatedly. My muscles began to pulse as well, I could actually see them expanding and contracting, especially my hands, arms, and strangely my face when I looked in the bathroom mirror. I felt a tingling, painful, pins and needles sensation in all of my extremities. I lost all fine motor control and my legs began to cramp. Needless to say, this was giving me quite a bad trip, being in a mosh pit and all. To make matters worse, one of my friends who also ate an entire eighth felt these same symptoms to more of an extreme. He actually ended up collapsing in the middle of the concert, unable to get up. We had to drag him to the side of the pit and take care of him. He looked like shit, and so did the rest of us, but it is worth noting that my friend who ate only half and eighth did not have nearly as bad a time as we did.

Now, all of us are quite experienced with psychedelics, I've tripped on shrooms probably more than 40 times, but I have never had side effects like this, even from doses much higher than the one I took. The only comparable feeling I've had to this was the body load from 30 mg of 2C-E, but even that wasn't nearly as bad (and it was pretty bad). Were these bad shrooms, or did I just take to many? Was it all in my head or is this a common occurence that I was previously unaware of?

It sounds like just a really bad case of body load, but perhaps one or more of the shrooms you ate were of the wrong species and toxic, or perhaps they were a little off - it can sometimes be hard to tell by looking at them. Can't tell you really, though it's interesting your friend had the same reaction, that would suggest to me that the entire batch was at least a little bit off.

Primus and shrooms go so good together.
I shroomed for Les while he was with the fearless flyin frog brigade.
I'm sorry but frogs on stilts running through a crowd while you are high on shrooms takes the cake.

I've never really been able to handle tons of drugs in public. Shrooms was an odd thing for me there and I didn't take much but just enough to know the show was confusing and I was staring at the new primus guitarist all night who wasn't ler lalonde. he has lookin right back at me an my jack skeligton beanie.

I'm a bit flurried right now but the memory is a really good one.
Sorry if this don't come out right.

All I could do on mushrooms at the claypool show that year was stand there and love the music while being confused and sweating on my legs like crazy from all the body heat in the maritime hall before it closed. Felt like people were peeing on me to be honest being In a crowd of so many people while on mishrooms n havin sweaty legs. Oddest feeling ever. Thanks for the memory. Lol

This was a new years show.

My gf at the time had a friend who was with us and also under the influence of shrooms and she did actually almost pass out and overheat and had a bad time too I think. I remember we left that show early.
Sorry Les, wasnt your bass. Chick couldn't hang in the heat around all the people while on shrooms.

Too bad we dOnt know you guys we could all go eat mushies and listen to primus.
