Like everybody else, I just wanted to share my first experience with shrooms.

(I feel like a high school student writing an essay)=D

Anyways ...

I read a lot about shrooms before and I read many trip reports. I must admit I was kinda hesitant to try them for the first time because what people were describing felt like a complete altered state of mind. I wasn't quite sure if I was ready to try out psychedelics. Before I only smoked pot, did coke and ecstasy of course.

My friends got about 10gr of Psilocybe subcubensis ("gold caps") and 4 of us decided to do it on the top of this hill in Southern California where we live.

Midnight - We split into 4 (2.5gr each) and ate them raw in the car before we decided to climb up the hill. We brought sleeping bags and some snacks in case we were hungry.

12:30am - We climbed up the steep hill and chilled there for a while. We laughed for stupid things and it was kinda amusing. Out of 4 of us, only one did shrooms before and the rest of us took them for the first time. I noticed two of my friends were laying down with their eyes closed and I asked them if they are feeling anything and they say they think it is kickin in. I wasn't really feeling anything but I thought since they were much skinnier than me, it would probably take longer for me to feel it.

Since it was getting way cold up there we decided to take our stuff and go back to the car.

1:00am - As we were walking down the hill, everything felt weird. I start feeling a strong body hive but I wasn't sure if it was the cold weather or the shrooms. I definitely felt like everything became quiet all of a sudden and since it was pretty dark on our way down, as we were passing by the trees I actually felt quite comfortable even though I would normally freak out walking through the darkness. There was a park down the hill where we parked the car so we decided to chill in the park for a little bit before we went back to the car.

1:30am - Two of my friends said that they were seeing stuff but they didn't want to specify what exactly they were seeing. I didn't want to bother them so I went with my other friend to walk around the park and for some reason the only sound I could hear was the wind blowing through the branches. It definitely felt surreal but I did not see any colors or crazy shit.

We went back to the car after 10-15 minutes. Turned some melodic trance and that's when I definitely knew we were tripping. We tried communicating but we weren't quite capable of doing so. I felt quite clumsy as I wasn't able to say more than 2 words at a time. We started laughing because we pretty much felt retarded. I felt like my body was just not listening to my brain. Music sounded great, it felt like it was taking control over us.

I was sitting on the back sit of the car and everything seemed big, or I felt like I shrank. I remember two of us were touching the roof of the car and it felt like the car just got bigger. I took my cell phone and remember holding it in my hands and it looked like it shrank 2-3 times. I felt like I was in this digital techno world and electronic music sounded so clear and perfect. I still didn't see any colors or pattens.

It was probably around 2am and this is when something strange was happening apparently only to me.

I felt this strong body reaction to shrooms that when I spoke to my friends day after our first experience, they said they didn't experience. At some point my eyes start tearing and I start crying constantly for like 2 hours. I knew it was because of the shrooms so I didn't panic even though I was annoyed with it because I couldn't control it. My body was very relaxed and I felt quite comfortable covered in blanked on the back sit.

I also felt this weird taste in my mouth, it tasted like shrooms in my saliva so I assume it's because my senses were amplified and I could probably taste the shroom we previously ate. I was feeling the texture of my hand and it felt like i was touching a cardboard, i wasn't really feeling much.

We came down around 4:30am and I was pretty disappointed that I didn't see anything even though the high was pretty neat. When I spoke to my friends they all said they saw vivid colors and patterns, something like holograms. They told me I probably have naturally high tolerance so I needed more.

Next time we did it was pretty much at the same place and around the same time, midnight. This time I took 3.5gr (a whole 1/8 of an ounce).

We were chilling at a park and I know it hit us after 20 mins. I felt the same body hive and I wanted to go back to the car (yea we did it both times in the car)8) . My body was relaxing and I just wanted to sit down.

This time I did see something. I was looking at my friend's face and I saw little halos around his face with rainbow colors. It was not intense tho. I definitely had a stronger trip but it still wasn't anything crazy.

Then again it happened. I start crying but this time it wasn't as long as the first time. But something else was going on ...

My body start jerking with the rythm of the music and I couldn't really control it. My friends were pretty much chillin and didn't move at all. I knew it was happening only to me.

This shaking lasted for about 2 hours and I didn't really freak out I just felt weird cuz I was the only one that felt like that. For example, my knees would shake and then my head was moving left and right pretty much entire night. My shoulders also so i felt like i had some seizure but for some reason it felt good. I also felt this mild burning sensation in different parts of my body.

Entire shrooming experience felt somewhat like I was losing my ego, I was basically dying. I was not afraid of it tho at any point. I knew it was shrooms messing with me so I never panicked.

Interesting thing is that all of us had different reflexions on the experience. One of my friends felt strong visuals and kept talking about them, my other friends were experiencing different emotions but for me, I was focused more on the body reaction I was getting. My thoughts were kinda scattered through the experience so I can't say that I really engaged into some philosophical thinking. It was just a comforting experience and I liked the way the reality changes when you're on them.

Can anybody tell me if they had similar body reaction to shrooms? I am just curious if it's maybe my body that is being defensive or it's just normal. I know my other friends never experienced it.

I will definitely do shrooms again. I don't know if I need more but i'll stick to 3.5gr for now. I'll also try changing the setting cuz maybe it'll make a big difference to my next shrooming session.:)
 
Weird, but definitely good, trip report.

I had the same shroom 'after-taste' hours after I ate them. I think it is your brain firing off neutrons. (a form of synaesthesia?)
 
^^ You mean neurons?

Anyway, my guess is that it's simpler than that. It's probably just remnants of the taste of the mushrooms you ate, much the same way as other strong-tasting things linger in your mouth.
