Background: This experience was with two close friends, one who had the same dose and other who acted as the sober sitter. As far as psychedelic experience goes, we are both quite familiar with LSD, psilocybe mushrooms and DMT, with a fair spattering of other substances along the road.
We consumed just over 15 grams of dried material (~3 mushrooms each that had been cooked at low temperature for 6-7 hours till 'cracker dry' ) grinded down and mixed with water.
The come up was far gentler than I had predicted. Very manageable nausea, I was certain beforehand that at some point I would vomit. While I had one or two moments of an involuntary gag reflex and the 1st maybe hour (all time frames are rather large estimations) it sat heavily in the gut, it was no where near what I have experienced with DXM (which I guess is the closest thing that I have forayed into). Not sure if this was influenced by the fact we drank our concoction over a period of maybe 45 minutes, rather than gulping it all down at once. That being said I was having a cone every time I felt the edges of nausea creeping in as well. It seemed to work nicely. There was quite a few times in the earlier stages of the trip where I was shaking quite intensely. At first I thought it was from a cold flush, it was just as likely that it was some random tremor.
It took longer than I expected to come on. Just a back odd stoned feeling for quite a period. The trip was very much helped along the way by drumming and focused breathing/meditation. It was like the drums hit the trips frequency of oscillation and set it off quickly. The intensity spiked up quickly and plateaued. Waves of energy and heat pulsated about, very heady sensations. Moving around became difficult and something I really had to force myself to do, very slowly and deliberately. My sense of balance was extremely off, I was clumsy and kept dropping things. Now the next day on, the residual aspects of this seem to be clinging on, but whether or not that is influenced by the lack of sleep I am not sure.
Once hitting the plateau we both just lay down quietly and listened to music quietly. Periods of great disconnection from my body, but more deadened, than loss. Intellectually (not sure if that’s really the right word) I knew I was tripping and I was lying there, but it I was more preoccupied with other feelings. Quite a few internal ‘visuals’, extremely dream-like, most of the time it would be almost a scene before it would fade and I would have no visuals at all. In general there wasn’t as much change in the way I thought, it was more about observing a range of sensory experiences, from pulses through my body to the scene like visuals to slight auditory variations.
The plateau and the experience in general was a lot shorter than I expected apparently we were in this dreamy stage for no more than 2 hours and after that the intensity declined rather rapidly. I do plan on trying again with this drug, but I am not sure the worth of such a low dose. I would double it minimum next time. To be honest I was expecting more from it, but I guess I have no idea what I am actually looking for.
