Alright before I continue I would just like to say that even though the title of this thread says "low dose", which is true (~2g), this was bar none the most intense drug experience of my life. So here it is....

A few weeks ago I had the option to pick up 8g of dry mushrooms and eagerly did so. The original plan was to wait until the end of the week (this was on maybe a wednesday) to trip out with a few friends, but I am an impatient man when it comes to saving drugs, so I of course decided to eat them that very night.
T+:00 I got to my buddy's house and told them my plan for the night, which was to eat 4g. However, they convinced me that these shrooms were pretty strong and that I should just start with 2g and eat the other 2g later if I felt like I needed more, and this is what I did.

T+:30 I was starting to feel the room moving around me and I was having trouble conveying my thoughts to the others so I kind of retreated into myself to enjoy the full effects.

T+:45-1:00 I am starting to realize that this is going to be one hell of a trip- everything in the house, windows, doors, couches, every object is wobbling around like crazy and there are intricate "psychedelic patterns" on every surface around me that I can only describe as continuously changing fractals of some sort.

Now I have lost track of time and am full blown tripping to the max and decide to head outside for a cig with a buddy.

Being outside magnified my already crazy trip probably 5x I would say; I was sitting on the front steps of my friend's house and looking at the house across the street I suddenly realized that the roof of the house was stretching and twisting off to the side (think: molding into the shape of a pig's tail) and it took me a few minutes of looking at it to even realize that it was a house. The trees near me seem to be computer generated and are completely 2D, when I walk under them I can see the pixels and compute code that comprises them.

We decided to take a walk and I am still able to talk to my friend semi-clearly (at least to me), but other than that I have no grasp on what reality is. One way I would describe it is I was unbelievably confused- everything that I saw in front of me was not somewhere I thought I could walk towards but I just kept on keeping on. I recall my friend telling me something like "Yeah J (another friend) took these last week and almost freaked out," and I thought, "What is he talking about? Took what? Ohhh shrooooms! I am on shrooms right now! Does he mean this is never going to end?"

One major difference I noticed throughout this trip compared to any other mushroom trip I have ever been on is the amazing patterns I was seeing on everything- walls, sidewalks, my clothes- everything looked like it was computer generated and had very intricate designs that were moving constantly in very pronounced "routes". I would look at my hands on my knees and watch them melt into my shorts, and if i put my head down for a minute and then looked up I would be completely lost even if I was sitting down :):).

Now is where this trip got really fucked up....

At some point during the night, I don't remember when as I have no memory past the cig break, all my friends that were at this house (all drinking) began to pass out I guess and I convinced myself that it was time to get in my car and leave.

So apparently that is what I did, from that point on I only have a few fractured memories which while they were happening I thought they were a dream.

Basically though, my next coherent memory came at about 4:00 a.m., when I found myself sitting on the front steps of a house in a neighborhood that I did not recognize, with my car no where in sight. Also, my glasses were gone causing everything to look a little fuzzy.

Due to my lack of glasses, I convinced myself that I was still stuck in a bad trip and that I just had to wait it out. So in the early morning hours I started wandering around this neighborhood I was in and doing whatever I wanted to since I thought it was all a trip/dream.

I started moving people's lawn furniture from their backyards into the middle of the street. I tried to open every car door and hopped into the bed of every truck I saw. I pushed over potted plants, stole a boombox, scattered newspapers..you get the picture.

Eventually I realized this was reality and started to panic a little. I headed out in search of a major street or anything that I recognized, but I could not figure out where I was. Finally, after about 4 hours of walking god knows how many miles, I made my way to a major highway and got ahold of a friend to come pick me up.

It took me about 2 hours of driving around Minneapolis to find my car but eventually I did- about 5 miles from where I "woke up" and I was overjoyed to find it untouched aside from a huge scrape on the front bumper from hitting that garage.

Everything I thought I knew about mushrooms and their potency was thrown out the window after this trip and from now on I am going to be very careful with my doses and not just think I should down 4g to get a stronger trip than I am used to.

hahahahhaa i can only imagine the neighborhood after a psilocybin-crazed lunatic goes at it for 6 hours!!
 
Lol indeed, I'd thank your lucky stars nobody smashed yer face in with a bat!

2 grams of dried mushrooms can be a reasonably substantial dose if they're a potent strain and dried properly, a recent 2.5g trip I had in amsterdam was at least as strong as any dose of mushrooms I've taken before (an accidental 6-7g overdose aside, but including many 40-50g fresh trips) and more profound than almost any previous trip I can think of.

The thinking you're in a dream part sounds scary, I've experienced similar, but only on one or two psychedelic/alcohol/ecstacy combinations (read: I was drunk and got my hands on some psychedelics, then everything went tits-up for 4 hours). You mention your buddies were drinking, did you consume any alcohol or other drugs?

Bad form for driving in that state though, car keys should be fucking HIDDEN when you're tripping.
 
Thats fuckin awesome. I can only imagine the thought in your head when you realized what you had just done around that neighborhood. Good report bro.

No this was a mushroom-only adventure, I'm not a very big fan of alcohol even by itself so there was definitely no temptation to indulge on this night.

Yeah the only reason I didn't give someone my keys at the beginning of the night was that I never thought I would even feel the urge to get in my car and go for a drive as it scares me to think about. Bummer of a situation though- my parents ended up making me sell my car after this incident because it "gave them so many bad memories" :p Shitty.
 
Yep, 2 grams is all I'll start with on a new batch now.

After having a 2-gram trip destroy my ego in the woods, a trip which was definitely stronger than any other shroom trip I've had, and I've eaten up to 7 grams before that and had it be not as strong...
 
great report

but could those mushrooms been aborts? My own personal experience at growing thousands of shrooms over the years that the aborts, the smaller ones that don't get large, those babies can be very, very potent. My aussies aborts I save for myself!

I think, after many trips, the proper dosage should be one gram standard cubes to one hundred lbs of body weight. For Cyans, I got for a third of that amount, for libertys I go about half that. And always, I figure aborts at a third stronger than full grown shrooms, so, for me, a gel cap filled with .3 grams of cyans (130lbs I am) does me VERY good.

Arent' mushrooms a wonderful way of reaching the divine?
