Experience with psychedelics: Several salvia trips, one mild trip on LSA, One mild trip on Peruvian Torch Cactus, a few very strong doses of weed orally.
These are two trip reports, one retrospective from about two months ago and the other written the day after my trip. Obviously, first trip description is far less detailed.
Both of these accounts were written for myself & I have adapted them to share with others, hope that they make for a readable account as they're not exactly in a fluid essay format!
These are my first two mushroom trips.
On both occasions consumed mushrooms at about one pm, with fasting for the morning before taking.
I describe each trip in levels, these are those described for psychedelics on Erowid & other sites.
January 2009 - Retrospective trip - Level 2 trip, bordering level 3
2g P.cubensis- grated into a commercially bought mushroom soup. Found this unpleasant and occasionally made me gag a little bit, due to taste/ texture.
Nausea present but not too bad.
OEVs: lines of multicolour around objects. seeing everything as if it were a mosaic (pixelation)
On come up had enhanced appreciation of light. sun making shadow on window etc v beautiful
CEVs: scattered but present. Occasional lines/ dots of colour
Racing thoughts. Felt as if had five beams of fully formed thought coming from my mind.
Made it v difficult to follow any specific thought pattern.
Difficult to say that thoughts were always positive and enjoyable. At times they were neither negative nor positive.
Absolutely freezing for whole trip, didn't want to leave bed as was so cold.
Very strong desire to share experience with boyfriend, be close to him at the time etc.
Physical closeness with anyone (hugging etc) would have been very nice
Listened to Beatles on come up and Dark side of the Moon at the peak.
Pink Floyd was amazing. Cuddled up in warm bed felt as if I was in the womb, entire album became references to the act of birth and the growing of a child. The track "Great gig in the sky" felt a little like being born! This was highlight of trip.
Come down associated with feeling regret that it was over. Smoked "Spice Gold" (the synthetic cannabinoid) and went back up again, with stoned feeling, but really felt I should have just accepted the come down as you must go down eventually. Definitely would not bother with smoking at the end of a trip again.
2nd trip - 6th March 2009 - Strong Level 3
3.5g P.Cubensis ground in metal weed grinder (A very effective way to grind shrooms finely). I tasted one cap in a teaspoon honey- surprisingly masks taste and texture, but felt I had too much to eat the whole lot this way. Ate remainder in a vegetarian Chili con carne- hid taste entirely & texture.
I made meal and then added portion mushies at the end. Did not eat with rice as I did not want a full stomach. Highly reccommended method
Come up with intermittent nausea. Had moments of "wow amazing" but nausea & gastric discomfort at points made it difficult to enjoy sensations for first hour.
Listened to ipod in bed, first hour was a compilation of upbeat psychedelic tracks (Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Cream etc)
Was extremely cold again.
OEVs amazing on come up. Would close my eyes for periods of 2 mins or so, every time I reopened them the room became weirder.Started with lines of colour around edges of room, Culminated with opening my eyes to see the roof in a mosaic of blue lines, which then began changing colours and swirling around ceiling light.
Waving objects in my field of vision & making fluid movements with body & hands very satisfying.
Thoughts again racing but perhaps more focused than lower strength trip, had some moments of revelation, but unfortunately, was impossible to recall any of these after trip, but they felt fantastic at the time.
Again, many thoughts at points were very much neither negative nor positive, hard to know how to react to those moments.
CEVs were present but overrode entirely by the unusual visualisations I was having. (By visualisations I don't refer to CEVs, I mean things that I imagine as opposed to distinctly see, hope that makes sense!). Saw People flying past me. I repeatedly entered a space which was entirely pink with different textures (this felt a little like travelling inside the body).
People were present throughout the trip, none of them I knew or none with any previous associations. Felt as if there were people around me or sitting next to me in the bed.
Visual experiences was very much stereotypical sort of psychedelic Strawberry fields, Lucy in the Sky etc.
Occasional outbursts of laughing, but not hysterical.
Listened to Shpongle's "Nothing Lasts" at the peak, had an amazing appreciation of it.
Again had v strong desire to share experience with boyfriend, intimacy would be superb on shrooms. He is very much anti-drugs & I really regretted that he would never share this with me & also missed him quite a bit.
Thoughts ceased racing as I began to come down, allowed me to focus on single stream of thought.
At one point wished that T & H (my two housemates) were there to share this amazing vibe, wonderful feeling & brilliant music. Then realised that they would most likely not be able to appreciate these things in a sober state & I could not possibly bring them to my present mindscape. Considered whether or not this had been an egocentric thought of mine. To want them to join me and listen to my music and ignore the fact that they may not want to. Considered whether or not I would think of myself as a selfish person or not. Concluded that perhaps the centre of everyones world is going to be themselves, because the course of your own life is obviously important to you. Believe that I can be self centred at times & lacking in empathy for others (not very excessively, don't feel that I'm a self-centred person or lack empathy per se, but that I can do so at times), hope to try and improve on this in the future. This realisation was not upsetting or negative, quite emotionally detached infact.
Had wonderful feelings of contentment & realised that everyone brings with them an energy to a social situation. Felt that I usually have a positive vibe and felt pleasure at thinking this. Thought a lot about the importance of loving other people and sharing your positive enegy with others. Sounds very hippy bullshitty, but I felt this so strongly that I hope I remember it and try to keep this idea of positivity up. This was a beautiful point when I felt incredibly positive and happy. Felt a lot of acceptance of other peoples attitudes and felt as though I could really deal with other peoples' negativity and simply shrug it off in the future.
On come down felt that disappointment & confusion of being up but not very much anymore.
Returned downstairs to talk to the two housemates when I thought I was sober but discovered I really wasn't yet down, was extremely giggly, everything was hilarious.
Was exhausted after trip and mentally drained, had only five hours sleep night before, but think I felt similarly tired after first trip.
Writing about this was extremely beneficial, had forgotten much of trip but typing it up has brought a lot back. One aspect of mushies I dislike is that sometimes your brain is working so fast you can't focus and it's quite difficult to remember certain things afterwards. This reduces the soul-searching, spiritual side to a trip.
Overall though, mushrooms have so far given me my most visual trips and I feel I have gained insight.
Considering a social setting with friends on 3g's for next mushroom venture, or perhaps a Level four trip, trying for this with a dose of 4g first.
