I was at a friend's house a couple nights ago, and another close friend that was there asked us all if we wanted to throw down on two ounces of really potent mushies. We agreed, picked them up, and came back. When we got back, there were more people there than there had been before we left, but I knew them all, so I felt very comfortable. We laid an ounce down on the table, and started weighing out doses. The caps were probably the biggest ones I've ever seen. We all started smoking bud, and slowly eating the caps. I had put a half ounce in my pile, but only intended on eating a quarter or so of it.

By the time I'd downed a quarter, most everyone was done eating the caps, and just kept passing the bowl. I honestly have no idea why I did it, but I ended up eating almost the whole half ounce. There were a few stems left. I think it was an accumulation of thinking about my 11g trip constantly since it happened a while back, and wanting to revisit something with equal or greater intensity. I felt like I needed a break from the social aspect of life, and wanted to embark on this adventure tonight, kind of having the night to myself.

After we were all done smoking, we went on the back porch. It had been about 25 minutes now, and I was feeling a little nausious. I laid down on a lawn chair, and stared at the sky. It looked a little warped, but everything else still looked somewhat normal. The only visual disturbance was in the sky. My stomach was turning, and the nausia seemed to be getting a little worse, right before my ex-girlfriend showed up. All of the sudden I remember seeing her face looking over mine, and her moving towards me and away from me rapidly, asking me how my day was going, and how I was, repeatedly. It was very eerie. I had no idea if she was fucking with me, or if I was tripping hard enough to see her saying something that she wasn't. Her face also looked trippy. Her chin looked longer than normal, and her ears looked deformed.

I decided what I was seeing wasn't good, and told everyone I thought I was going to go inside for a few. Upon entering the living area, I saw everyone around the TV, watching a movie. By this point I was getting insane OEV's, but it was just psychedelic patterning, or the notice of someone's face and body looking a bit different. I took a seat on the couch and tried to get into the movie. I couldn't keep a train of thought for longer than 10 seconds. My mind was hopping from one thing to the next. There was a table in the middle of the room that appeared to be growing taller, and it's legs were moving around. It seemed as if it were dancing. This made me laugh. Someone must of noticed I was laughing, because they said my name to get my attention. When I turned to see who it was, my heart jumped in my throat.

I was seeing what appeared to be a a concrete statue in the sitting position on the couch, moving up and down, then side to side. I remember hearing laughing while I was seeing this, but it was an eerie type of laugh, and it seemed to echo and warp into squealing and hissing noises. I turned back around to look at the TV, and it appeared to be about two feet tall, and 10 feet wide, with animated characters moving out of the screen (it may be noted that the movie had no animated characters in it). Everything seemed to be moving in frames, and I brought myself back to reality long enough to realize I shouldn't be this way in front of this many people.

I said "this doesn't feel right, I'm going upstairs" and started walking to the stairs. I remember it was somewhat difficult to walk straight. Parts of my body felt really heavy, then some felt really light. I was noticing transparent hearts and smiley faces floating in the air, spinning. I was trying to block out everything until I could get to a dark room and lay down, and also trying to tell myself that I was going to be ok. I had this feeling that the intensity of this trip could escalate no more. I felt as though if things got any crazier, something bad was going to happen to my body. The stairs seemed taller than they ever had, and the walls on either side seemed to be breathing, each time moving closer to me.

When I finally got in the room, I turned out the lights (the switch looked like a moving lady bug, which freaked me out for a second), and got in the bed in a fetal position with my eyes closed. This is when everything moved to a whole other level. I didn't feel as if I was on this earth anymore. My mind and body seemed to be on totally different levels, disconnected, if that makes any sense. I was totally unaware of my body the majority of the rest of the trip. I saw a vision of an old house in a field, with yellow flowers everywhere and sun shining bright. One of the flowers was me. My head was the center, my hair was the pedals, and my arms were leaves. My face looked terrified. The sun started going down and the sky turned dark. A huge man dressed exactly like an executioner came out of nowhere and swung at me with an ax. On the second of impact, another vision took over the one I was having.

This time I had transformed into a rock on a gravel road, watching cars and trucks go by, waiting for the first one to run me over. It was terrifying. Finally, I did get hit, and another vision took over that one. I went through a series of visions, all ending in what felt like death (I would detail them all out, but this report would be too long). The last, and one that still fucks with my head when I think about it (maybe due to emotional impact, I don't know) is one where I saw my spirit float through clouds, upwards toward "the light" as we've all heard of. Just before I reached the light, my spirit shot back downwards, creating a noise similar to sticking your head out of a moving car, through the clouds, through the earth's layers, to what seemed to be hell.

I don't remember too much after this. I'm not sure exactly when I fell asleep, but I do remember someone coming in the room pretty far into my trip, and trying to communicate with me. The room was almost unrecognizable due to the intense OEV's and warping of everything. I was sure my head was playing tricks on me, because I thought it was someone coming to check on me, but I couldn't tell who it was. In fact, they didn't really look human, and when they spoke, it wasn't english. Whoever I was seeing started looking more and more like a troll, and I remember trying to tell them to leave, because they were scaring me. Finally I just put a pillow over my head, and when I took it off they were gone.

I was told that nobody came in the room all night, after I asked around the following day. I was also told that there was one point during the night where everyone was chillin downstairs, and a couple people noticed me standing at the railing to the stairs, just staring forward. They said I stood there for a few seconds, then walked back to the room and laid back down. I don't remember leaving that room once I went in the first time, but everyone swore to it. There are bits and pieces that keep coming back to me, but it's difficult to bring back to memory. The next morning I cried, which is rare for me. I don't even know why either. I was lying down, reflecting on the whole trip, and my eyes started watering uncontrollably for about 10 minutes. I would include so much more, but I'm nodding off while typing, and a lot of it is really difficult to try to explain to people. All in all, the experience was far, far more than I bargained for. Not that it was bad, but I sure wouldn't consider doing it again for a while, if ever.
 
wow
excellent. I could relate to a lot of what you were saying... despite the difficulty of describing something so bizzare and intense. The fact that humans and language are completely morphed and/or destroyed can get to a person... if you can remember any of it!
nicely written, interesting to read reports of trips using that volume of mushrooms
 
Nice amount of mushrooms, i have been dosing with 50g fresh or 5g dry with MAOIs to petenitate them, i really want to do a trip like that sounds fuckin awesome, i can understand that some parts of it must of been absolutely terrifying-good work glad you came out alive nicely written report too!

iopener
 
Quite an interesting report. It's not even that long really if you want to include more I'm sure we'd all be interested.
 
Great report. I could stand even more details of your visions too, if you care to take the time. Sounds like the idea of your own mortality was a key theme. For me, the "dark" theme of my trips is often that of losing control or going insane; dreaming about dying can be even scarier, but also somehow liberating. I can see why you cried the next morning.

I think that's the sign of a deep and productive trip. Good for you!
 
good job smart guy,i ate 6 grams and id never do a trip that intense ever again.u ate a whole shitload more and i gatta hand it to ya,your crazy.intense trip like that leave permanent psychological changes which is why i dont do that much.
 
13 grammes? that's nearly three times what McKenna deemed a heroic dose.

I've also had visits from a friendly troll-like character on my shroom trips. I think there are particular guides on these astral planes that help those in need if theyre open to it. And 13g. would certainly open you to it, like it or not.

Makes me want to shroom...
 
its better to trip around 2 to 3 grams dry.youll still have the visuals,without the scary stuff and the trip will be more manageable
 
yea i agree,i never do more than an eigth for a nice trippy trip.6 grams totally kicks my ass and put me back in my place and also taught me that my brain is not stonger than a powerfull drug no matter how much willpower i have.
 
Wowow, 13 grams dry... that's some intense shit.
I've eaten Quarters at a time, and although I've trained myself to handle it well, I still don't know if I could take more than that. Double the power of it would rock my fucking world, lol.

Nice report & glad you didn't have a "bad" trip (so to say...)
 
I too have experienced trips (on high doses, but not that high) where I would die over and over again, in different forms. Has anybody else had this? Maybe it's an effect of high doses. Anyway, that was alot of shrooms, suprised you didn't puke. Great report.
 
On a large dose of shrooms I had visions of my own death and reincarnations as various things and people. I entered a place in which I could choose several parallel universes\dimensions in which i was currently incarnated and was told that upon death I would return to this place so I could become any person or thing in the universe (or the infinity of others).....

Mad huh! ;)
 
Last mushie trip, I dosed 5.6 grams, of the most beautiful caps I have ever came across. If you could picture or frame the "perfect" shroom these should be the ones. Anyways...

Never in my life have I ever tripped so good, but had a few difficult moments. I had many visions, some of "the end", but not necessarily death, an intersting note was the constant blank stare I would have, and it seemed as though some entity or being was feeding off that "staring" energy... weird? I dunno, Just my thoughts.

In contrast, I dosed 4 grams of upper quality but not immaculate mushies with some syrian rue before hand....

Holy shit... woops!! and "better get rid of my stomach contents" were the only things I could really do or think at the 1 hour mark, the 1.5 hour mark, things were getting out of control and I purged, but never thought I was going to die.

I knew the entire time I could not die but my mind was really messin with me. Oh yeah and my girl was freekin a bit too... she ate 3 grams on some rue...

Have fun and be careful!
 
Well written and very interesting trip report! I've dosed at half that level and can't imagine doing another trip that strong for awhile. You are defintely strong-minded to go through an experience like that.
 
i find the fact hat you've cry the next day is interesting. because it can be the sign of a traumatism but maybe not in a bad way, this mean that you've a really intense experience and you need to integrate it.
i've had a big skiing accident and even months after i've cried when i was relating it...
 
Wow.. That definately is an intense journey.
I loved the visions, and yeah interested to hear some more you rmemeber too :)
