Right firstly let me say I have no idea of the dosage as my mate went into the headshop and asked for enough for a good trip which ended up costing 20euros,looking at pictures on the net,these were Columbian cubensis.

7.00pm
I get home and make 2 cups of green tea,I get a knive chop up the shrooms and throw them in the tea.After 10minutes of drinking im still not finished,my dad gets home and I quickly run to hide any evidence,I bring my tea upstairs and finish it off.

7.30pm
I start to feel something,nothing significant,but still I can feel it working despite only finishing my tea 10minutes ago,I hop on my bike and cycle down to my mates gaf,down the road from my gaf theres a huge steep hill I peddle down it as fast as I can the air in my face feels amazing,I end up nearly crashing as my mind wanders off,but narrowly avoid certain injury.

7.45pm
I arrive at my mate C's gaf,no ones down there yet so we just chill upstairs listening to tunes evantually my mate J arrives along with my other mate M,we play soccer for awhile which is fun,but in a matter of minutes i cant play,I look around and start noticing all the trees swaying,I look at the houses around the estate and there all breathing,looking down on the grass its moving in multiple directions,still nothing too significant though.

8.15pm
We chill for awhile and talk,im the only one on shrooms as my other mate C whos meant to be tripping with me is at his birds gaf,I feel slightly out of place but dont mind too much,as my mate talks,for a split second,his ear is where his mouth should be and his mouth is where his ear should be,this looks pretty cool but still I'm expecting a little more,clothes feel really wierd espicially jumpers which seem as if there "alive" My mate M goes to the shop to get smokes,me and J wait for him in the field.

8.30pm
One minute im really happy and excited having a great time and the next minute I feel really empty and bored,I begin to question the shrooms' greatness as these empty feelings continue,however I think of all the great mushroom expiriences ive read of here and tell myself I just havent quite "broken through" on mushrooms yet,my last two times doing shrooms before this have been quite a failure also and I have yet to feel the awesome power of mushrooms that I have read about. M's taking ages at the shop so me and J walk down to him to see what hes at. C stays in his gaf and smokes a bit of hash.

8.45pm
We see M down at the shop with about 12 people,on closer inspection its all the lads,we all hang out at the bench for awhile,C comes down and tells us of an abandoned Phillips factory down the road,the lads get a few cans at the off licence and we decide to head down

9.00pm
Nothing significant yet,Im pretty disappointed but am having a great laugh with the lads,we arrive at the factory and climb in through a little window,now let me just say this factory/office is amazing,its is massive probably the size of your average shopping centre,with working lights,heating,toilets,furniture and desks,we get lost in the place,and have to ring each other to find out where we all are.

9.15pm
This place seems too good to be true,me and my mate stumble across a huge open area probably the size of 2 football fields,completely empty in the basement,absoloutely perfect for a rave we thought :D we find a fire extingusher and bring down a wheely chair,unfortunaly we cant gather much speed as the fire extingusher is quite crappy but we had fun spraying each other none the less

10.00pm
We decide to smash down the main door as getting in through the window is quite annoying,the glass however is stronger than we expected and it takes 6 of us with massive bars to actually break the glass,after 5 minutes we evantually do so,and put a board over,during this time i dont really concentrate on my trip as were having so much fun,but feeling that im wasting my money i persaude everyone to go outside.

10.15pm
so were outside the factory and the amount of land is amzing its completely secluded down a huge drive way,I stare at the surrounding trees they begin to sway more violently than at the start of the trip,Im thinking this is the peak as peoples noses grow large and retract,still though im not impressed.

11.30pm
we walk down the side of the factory and we notice a loading machine,I press the buttons as a joke and what do you know it fukin works,I lie down on the platform of the machine as my mates presses the button it lifts me 8ft off the ground and then slowly drops,it feels fukin incredible on mushrooms I close my eyes and it feels like im surving the waves

12.00pm
Well the effects gradually start to subside,trees are still swaying but less noticably,my mate C finally arrives,hes completely fucked off the mushrooms and hippy-flipped,he makes no sense whatsoever we all laugh which brings me back up on the shrooms a little but this is short-lived.

1.00am
My mate M says hes heading home as hes a match the next day,as the shrooms' effects have evaporated and hes walking right by my house I decide to walk home with him,I get in and try to sleep but have trouble after 2 hours I get to sleep.

In conclusion Im really disappointed,reading reports here I ask myself why cant I expirience such amazing things on shrooms,After trying 7grams of philospher stones,12grams of philospher stones and now quite a hefty dose of columbian cubensis I have yet to see/feel anything significant,Im thinking of giving up on the shrooms,they just dont seen to work for me,Im probably going to try one more larger dose of shrooms and if that still doesnt work for me im finished with them for good.

Maybe Im expecting too much off them :\
 
Is that fresh weight your measuring by? if it is then i know exactly what you mean by the feeling empty and bored. I normally take 50g cubensis fresh as standard as i know that this will make me break through to the other side so to speak. Get some syrian rue and trust me that in conjunction with mushies will certainly blow your fucking head off, and DON'T underestimate the power of shrooms they will knock you off your feet. Did you split the mushrooms with your friend because i think they could of only given you 30grams max as head shops are normally a rip-off compared to internet vendors.

You are not and i repeat NOT expecting too much off them as they can well and truly alter your perception.

Thanks for the report i recently did a low-dose mushie trip and felt that i just needed more with that empty and bored feeling i fortunately had nos to make it alot more interesting as no matter how small your mushie dose is nos will acentuate so you can definitely tell your tripping also i found that smoking slavia in those low-dose mushie trips gives a much needed "edge" to the trip.

peace
 
thanks,I'll defiently give them another shot on a higher dose,yea there measured fresh and I didnt split with my mate,I just found out they sell them a euro a gram so I only did 20grams fresh,I might just buy off an internet vendor as you said cause the headshop is a rip off i'll try 50grams next time.Thanks for your response its defiently opened my mind to try shrooms again.
 
hey good story. crazy times at that building, wish i had something like that around here to kill time in

peace
 
Try dried mushrooms instead. I tried both fresh and dried to identify any difference, and whilst I discerned very little, it was a good mental shift to make me get out of the same old same old headspace I was floating into.
 
Seriously, you aren't taking anywhere near enough for a decent trip.


Personally, i no longer see the point in low dose mushroom trips anymore, because i'm always left just wanting more, which makes me agitated, which in turn just makes me feel bad.

If you want a truly introspecive , colourful (decent visuals) and mentally headfucking (in a good way!) trip, you need to take around 30-40 grams of FRESH mexican cubensis (much less for other spicies such as hawaiins).

DO NOT under any circumstances underestimate the power of the mushroom!

I recently had a 5+gram trip (dry, which is the equivalent to roughly 50+ grams fresh) and i've never experienced anything else like it. It was more visual, more mentally mindfucking than any other trip ive ever had on any other psychedelic (including decent liquid LSD, LSA, Ketamine, 2ci etc).

Please try it again!
 
mushrooms are cool and what sparkle jez said about setting is absolutely correct. Im not saying hanging out with your mates isn't a good past time but when shrooming it could create complications, if your gonna do it again get a good setting; my faves are up in the woods with a fire burning or at home with incense, candles and trippy lights if you try a high dose make sure the people around you are going to UNDERSTAND what you are gonna go through.

I will warn you that it took me a while to grasp the power of the mushroom and my first two trips were not pleasant as in fun they were fucking horrible but you learn SO much about yourself they are some of the best trips i have ever had.

peace
 
Mushrooms can be unpredicting, i don't think you took them in the right setting to be honest, you said you were the only one on mushrooms there, that would have made me feel a bit odd, much better if you were there with a few mates or at least a mate who is taking them as well as you were outside, mushrooms in the house alone can be good, very personal experience.

What part of Dublin this factory in?
 
That factory sounds awesome, I wish I had a place like this near me. Bummer you didn't breakthrough, and I agree that it was probably because of the dosage. Good report.

in the south of the city,cant say anymore though as we found an abandoned 6-storey appartment block once,no electricity but still was pretty amazing well we told a few people about it and 3 months later it was full of junkies and travellers.
