Shrooms - 4th time - Mushroom Campus *long*

[Date]: Oct. 18, 2003
[Type]: P. Cubensis Mushrooms
[Time]: 5:10 pm >=)
[Mindset]: Excited, Mellow
[Setting]: University Campus
[Dose]: roughly 2.7 grams

This is my fourth trip, but my second post as a blueblighter. Thi has been the lowest amount ive eaten during a trip. Usually i do a whole 1/8th, but this was a great trip none the less. The first three times, ive done mushrooms by myself but had the company of my girlfriend. This time, however turned out to be a surprise mushroom trip. Originally, the plan was for me to go watch and take care of some of my friends at a nearby university that one of my friends attended. Somewhere along the way, he was able to acquire more mushrooms and offered some to me. It was an offer i could not refused, because this would be my first trip with other people that were trippin also! I was so excited.

There were 4 of us there at the time in the dorm room. Park, Will, Myself, Karl all began eating our share of mushrooms at this time. I usually eat mine with an apple, but i forgot to bring one. So instead, i had some animal crackers instead :D

Our other friend Chris finally showed up, and took his share also. That made a total of 5 of us that would be shroomed up today. This is when we decided to leave the dorms and start our exploration. Our first quest, was to walk around campus and just find a vending machine with Orange juice. We were on a hunt for Vitamin C :) We started walking towards the parking lot that stood between the school and the dorms. Half way across the lot, me and Karl's legs began to feel wiggly. Some people complained about feeling naucious, but that's normal on a trip. One person, being Will. I told him that it was normal, and to try not to think about it cause he'd soon be feeling great :)

we continue to walk around the campus. First thing i noticed was how huge the place was compared to my university. It was probably atleast 2-3 times bigger. Quite nice. Anyways, continued walking and there was hardly anybody around since it was a late friday afternoon. That was great, because that meant that we could act as retarded as we wanted to, without having to feel paranoid. hahah. A little after this point in time, the visuals began to hit me. but very very subtlely. I was walking passed a building with cement tiling. The grids from the tiles seemed blurry. I wasnt feeling anything much cept a little light headed, but i knew that the visuals were coming soon.

+0:50
We came to big open field that looked like a quad, but i wasnt sure because it was my first time on this campus. There were plots of grass, and trees in every direction. We spotted a minute maid vending machine, and a few of us bought some OJ to drink. My god, the juice tasted SOOO GOOD. The citrus taste of it just made my tongue tingle with excitement as it went down my throat. After that, we all just headed to a spot nearby to sitdown and just relax.

+1:15
I remember exactly when this momment hit. I began to trip pretty hard. How do i remember? Because i had brought a notepad with me, and i wrote down the exact time. haha :) We sat on the grass and i stared at this big three to my right. From the base, it split up into 3 barks, which weaved together like a set of braided hair. It looked very old and dry, so i told my friends that it looked like it was dying. I sort of felt sorry for it.

I remember Will starting to get hit hard, beacuse it was his first time on mushrooms. His personality is similar to mine, and i just connected to him the most throughout the whole trip. Everything i was going through during the trip, he was pretty much also. He was amazed at the visuals he was getting by the plains of grass. So i looked around also, and noticed that the grass was now breathing, and pulsating to and from my point of origin.

We each stared off and made comments of what we saw. It was still bright out, but the sun was slowly setting. I looked up into the taller tree's in the distance, only to notice the color of the sky. This was the first instance of color tinting on this trip. I noticed that the sky had a purple-lish hue to it. The longer i stared, the more purple it would get, along with the tree's around my field of vision.

I pointed this out to everyone and they saw it too. Park had never gotten any visuals on his previous trip, so he was somewhat amused at being able to see the color effect. He asked what else he was "supposed" to see. I told him "you're not supposed to see anything. Just relax, and let it come to you."

At this point, i began to look at my arm. It was breathing intensely, and Park wondered what i was looking at, so he tried it on himself. I asked him what he saw. He replied "wow, my skin is like ... moving! So are the hairs on my arm! Wow, that's alot of hair!" I just laughed, and told him that it gave it texture :)

I looked up to see Will lying on his back on the floor. Just looking in every direction, taking everything in. I knew he was having a GREAT time, and i was glad. We sat there talking to each other about our lives, and about various things because i hadnt seen these guys for a long while. We used to see each other alot during highschool, but once college hit, we went our seperate ways. It was great to connect in an emotion and spiritual sense. We even had talks about idealogies of religion. The magnitude of our understand and questiong of the world was beyond normal comprehension. But it just made sense (if u understand what i mean.) :)

It was a great feeling just being there. Everything was so beautiful, and i felt so alive. Chris was walking around having a great time just exploring. Karl went off with him for a while. So for a certain time it was just Me, Will, and Park that were sitting on the grass talking and just taking every breath, sound, light, and thought, sink in.

+1:45
I kept staring at the tree's because they were so beautiful. I brought a notepad and some coloring pencils to draw, because i had never done that while tripping. I opened my notebook and tried to draw, but as i stared into the plane notepad, it startd to mesmerize me. It was like a wormhole was in the paper, and the lines of the paper turned into grids, kind of like a kolidascope. I started to see abstract images on the paper with infinate borders outlining the image. Each outline with a different rainbow color. Similiar to those of frequently seen mushroom art. I now understood where the inspiration for such pictures came from.

I wanted so badly to draw, but as i looked at the notepad with the coloring pencil in my hand, i could do nothing but stare. I laughed that i could not do such a simple task, but i didnt care at all. I was having a blast! Park started drawing on his paper, scribbling lines and said to me "Man, all im doing is scribbling lines, but i've never had so much fun!" hahaha! The fact that these guys were having a blast, made me feel fantastic!

+2:10
The visuals were more and more intense, and the sun went down. I stared at a big tree that was in front of me. The soil around it was a big round bordering patch of sand. If you were to look at it from a birdeyes view, it would look like a big circle filled with dirt/sand, and the tree bark was planted in the middle. From staring at the sand, i saw cracks and lines build up, and they turned into tiny little buildings ontop of canyons. The sand bordering the tree seemed like a great mountain village that encompassed the great tree castle. I could do nothing but stare and smile at my mind showing me this great picture.

We noticed that Chris had been gone for a long while, and was nowhere in sight. We speculated that he was having his own journey walking around. We were worried, but at the same time knew he would be okay. I didnt notice at the time, but the light posts that were to the right and left of me had turned on while i was watching the tree castle.

Once i turned to my right and saw the lights, my world became Yellow. Everything was tinted yellow. It was surreal. You could see the tree's blowing in the wind, and the light post shine light right through the leaves. It was a magnificant sight that we all saw. The leaves swayed through the air, catching the light in the background. It was sort of like a zero gravity, controled fire.

Also, at this time i realized that Karl had been gone for a while too. I asked where he was, and Park pointed to the tree that i saw as the "tree castle" and he just said "the tree." I was confused, and asked "WHAT?" because i thought that he was implying that Karl was now THE TREE! This made me say WOW inside my head for a bit because i was amazed at the fact that karl had turned into a tree! LOL! A few seconds afterwards i realized that karl had climed ontop of the tree that i was looking at. He was sitting there, enjoying the view while listening to his mp3 player.

+2:40 It started to get cold, so i took out my jacket and hat from my bag. I put the sweat shirt on my lap, and put my arms through the sleaves. I loved the opening up and stared at it. Confused as to where my head was supposed to pop out of the shirt. I looked up, and stared off into the open field, trying to figure out how i could put on on shirt! I repeated this step about three times before figuring it out. I saw Will in the corner of my eye, and i knew he had saw me trying to do such a simple task. We stared at each other and laughed hystarically!

I put my head in between my knees, and i stared at the grass beneath me. My eyes started to focus in a strange way, and i saw the patch of grass magnify, tenfolds! It was like i was looking through a microscope, and the area of grass i looked at appeared in great 3D dimension. I saw every little detail. It was hard for my eyes to stay focus, so i had to blink and refocus every few seconds.

Karl came down from the tree and began to draw too. After a short while, we decided to change the scenery and began to walk around once again. Everyone headed towards a nearby restroom, but i didnt have to go. So i walked ahead and found a bench nearby. I spotted an open concrete area with a big source of light shining down. I put my bag on the table and walked to the concrete area.

I began to dance and dance. I dont even know how long i was dancing, but im guessing it was a good 15 minutes or so. When i turned around, Park, Will, and Karl were sitting on the bench. They were looking at a newspaper and just chatting away, cracking jokes. I joined them at the table and started staring off into the distance.

My mind was going 200 miles a minute. So many thoughts ran through my head, and i just loved the view. There was a great tree next to us, and about 100 feet away, was a row of bicycle holders (u know, the things that u parking your bicycles on and put your locks on them?) Anyway, the pattern seemed to cause an illusion on my eye and it looked like they were weaving together slowly. Like two chains, lines up one behind the other, and both being pull horizontally in opposite directions.

I found peace and comfort in my friends as they talked about various comical things. I didnt talk much, i just listened and stared off into the area ahead of me. I love visuals :)

+3:40
We were sitting there for a while, just talking away about our favorite lines from the show Family Guy. I looked to my left to see Will staring off into the same direction as me. He looked at me and said "You're just thinking huh? What about?" I couldnt focus on one particular thing, and i didnt care. So i just said "I dont know" and smiled. After that, he said "Thanks for this trip man." That made me feel great, because i was super glad that he was having such a great time on his first trip on mushrooms.

+4:00
Karl found Chris!!! So we gathered at the bench asking Chris where he had been, and he said he was practically everywhere, enjoying his journey. We decide to walk around again, and Karl decided to head to the ATM around the area. So we walked to the closest ATM. It was in front of a student lounge area where people were playing pool and bowling inside. I dont remember if Karl deposited money or not, but we started walking off. Next thing i knew, i heard a loud *CRASH* I looked back, and i couldnt see anything. All i knew was that it didnt sound right.

Next thing i knew, there were about 10-15 people running away from the area. This is when i started to freak out and get very paranoid. I started associating the lounge with being a BANK, since there was an ATM machine. And i associated the loud bang, as drunken college kids breaking into the bank. I felt very awkward and wanted to get the hell out of there. So we did, but my friends kept telling me not to worry, because we had nothing to do with it.

*I learned later, that it turned out to be some college kids riding a plastic sled down some sets of stairs, and they hit something. I think my friend said it was a vending machine.*

+4:15
We get back to the dorm room and we just chill. My friends load up episodes of the family guy and watched it for a while. I wasnt paying attention much because my mind was busy thinking of twisted thoughts because i was paranoid after that inccident at the lounge.

+?:??
I dont remember the timeframe much after this, but we were there for a while. Everyone started coming down, but i was still up since i had more mushrooms than everyone else. We went outside and talked for a bit and walked to the cars. My friends were down already from there trip so they drove, and i was just sitting shotgun in Will's car. We headed for a denny's for some food while i was still tripping.

We just ate and talked about our trip and then headed home. It was a good 6 hours or so after it was all done, and i was headed home. It was a great day and i enjoyed every second of it. Even the part about being paranoid, because it made me think of some very creative thoughts about infinate possibilities of my life. It's hard to explain here because i'd be writting for another hour. But i'll just leave it at that.

Overall it was a wonderful trip and i loved being with long time friends that i hadnt seen in over a year. That's all i can write right now. There are alot of things ive left out because i didnt feel like writing every little detail, and somethings, i just dont exactly remember. lol

Thanks for reading my long report :) Happy tripping :)

great, sounds like you had a great time!! if i try to draw when tripping, i usually get distracted by everything around me. i don't have the patience to finish my drawings and i want to get it over with as quick as i can, so i usually fuck them up. don't draw when you're tripping, only when you really feel you should, the rest of the time it is only distracting imho. draw before you are going to trip and carry you're drawings with you and take a look at them every once in awhile. you'll be amazed at how beautifull they are (if you can draw that is). next time i'm gonna trip i gotta find some bob ross video's to watch. and a happy little tree, rigggght there...=D

Gotta love that, always lifts you up so much :)

Very good attitude to have when taking mushrooms. Just because a trip (or part of a trip) becomes difficult, doesn't mean it is bad. Life is full of ups and downs and lessons, and it's not always easy (by a friggin long shot... ;) ), a trip is just the same... but intensity is on another level :)

Great report, thanks for the addition :)
