This was my sixth time taking mushrooms, the previous five times were interesting but lacked any real visuals other than slight patterns moving across surfaces and some changes in color, no full blown hallucination. All my previous times were with chocolates or eating them straight.
Started off picking up 5 carmel "disks" with mushrooms cooked into them. It was about 1:00pm or so. After picking up the shrooms me and my girlfriend headed back to our place and decided we were gonna eat the shrooms now instead of waiting, we needed to drive later in the night and leave by midnight to make sure we didn't miss the last ferry to where we were going.
Ate 2 1/2 of these carmels each and put on The Life Aquatic to entertain us while we came up. We had just recently quit smoking cannabis so this would be our first experience with only mushrooms.
After about 30 minutes we both began feeling it coming on. I always know when they're starting to effect me because I feel like there is something dripping off my fingertips. I believe this is just the sweat/oil or whatever on my fingertips feeling very different.
At about 45 minutes or so we were feeling it pretty strong and decided to go up on the roof of our building. I remember passing someone in the hall and thinking that I should say hello to them, but I stopped myself because I knew my girlfriend would say something and it would seem weird that we were both like, "Hey!" and sure enough she said hello to them.
It was freezing outside so we didn't stay on the roof for long. It had been about an hour when we left. We got back to our room and we went out on our porch and were talking about how much weaker the mushrooms were than the previous times. I was pretty upset with the whole experience cause I had eaten so many damn shrooms according to the guy we got these carmels from and it was the most mild time I'd ever had on mushrooms. Looking out from our balcony to another person's room I could see a 60" or so TV that had two channels playing on it, one on each side. I made some comment about how stupid that was and we went back inside.
My girlfriend who usually cries and laughs histarically and is completly out of control on mushrooms was talking about how totally managable this was. That she could easily go out on a walk around the city and feel comfortable and such. I was just complaining about how unintense this whole experience was.
The Life Aquatic was still on and after watching it for awhile I decided that I was going to scrape some resin in an attempt to kick this experience up a notch. We hadn't scrapped any resin in months and I grabbed what I call the dragon scepter which is a 2 foot long glass monster. I went to start scraping resin out of it and was surprised when I tipped it down and about 2 bowls worth of resin coated weed fell out of it. This was actual green weed, not just resin. It has been sucked through and just sat in the chamber.
I packed up the first bowl and we smoked it and immediatly the whole experience changed. I could feel the old emotional waves I got with mushrooms, just feeling like I was on a roller coaster and things would get almost too intense and then subside then too intense, back and forth every few minutes. It had been about 2 hours since we had taken the mushrooms, and my girlfriend said, "Geez.. finally, how long did this take to come on?" and I said, "As long as it took us to smoke some weed..." and she said, "Oh.. maybe..." but didn't really believe me.
Our room looked beautiful which was somewhat surprising to me because we had done mushrooms here before when we first moved in and we hated the room cause it was so bare. The walls were covered in art now, our fish tanks almost seemed to be glowing, it was so much more a comfortable space.
I felt as though I was on the same level of my previous mushroom trips now. I was getting slight visuals, my girlfriend moved her hand quickly and I saw her arm in two places for awhile. Tracers, colors brighter and more vibrant, watching The Life Aquatic I was seeing people's faces behave in strange contorted ways.
I was trying to get some real visuals for once from shrooms though which is why I took so much, so I packed up another bowl and we went through it. By the end of this bowl I was seeing patterns very clearly on various surfaces. My girlfriend told me she was getting amazing visuals and I'd ask her what she was seeing and she just said she couldn't really explain. She went over and sat down in a chair next to our 60 gallon fish tank and was watching the fish telling me something about how they were all vibrating color.
I layed in bed, enjoying the whole experience a lot more now that I had smoked weed. My mind was wandering though and in a negative way. When I would just sit there and think my thoughts always ended up in some negative place about life being pointless. Thinking about how we are just a product of these little mindless cells moving and changing randomly. About the time I was thinking about this my girlfriend said the same to me, "It's so weird that all we are is the product of these tiny organisms." This was rather strange to me that we had been thinking about the same thing.
I started wondering if she was having negative thoughts as well and I said, "It's easy to get lost in your mind, isn't it?" and she basically said yes and that she was worried about what she was doing with her life. Why she existed and all that. All of our previous mushroom trips together had been very introspective and though based and I decided I wasn't really interested in doing that again this time. So, I told her we needed to keep talking to each other so we don't get too deep into our own minds.
We started talking about the visuals we were having and the whole experience and I began enjoying it a lot more. However, at some point during our conversations I remember saying something about how stupid verbal communication is. I had these very complicated thoughts and I'd try to express them verbally and it was essentially impossible. I wanted so bad to just be able to show this "picture" to her instead of having to turn it into words but obviously that is impossible. I said it's the best we've got though sadly, and didn't think about it any more.
I had been kind of cold previous to this but suddenly I felt REALLY cold to the point that it was bothering me. So, I decided I would go take a hot bath and I asked my girlfriend if she'd join me. She said she really wanted to watch the fish longer but she'd come in awhile.
I went into the bathroom and cleaned out the tub. We never take baths so the bottom was looking a bit too gross to lay in at the moment. I can't recall the thoughts I was having but they were the same negative, life is pointless, type of thoughts. Finally I got it all clean and began to run the bath. I was shivering at this point I was so cold. I sat there watching the water slowly fill the tub and all I had in my mind was watching the water waiting until I could get in without getting even colder from touching the sides of the bath and such that were still cold.
Finally the water was high enough and I jumped in, instant relief from the cold. I looked over the side of the tub at the tile on the floor and just stared at it. The tiles were rising off of the ground and turning into mushrooms. It was as if the tiles themselves were elastic and someone was pushing mushrooms up into it and the tile would wrap around them. I looked at the wood shelves we had and the wood grain was swirling very rapidly and dripping everywhere. The whole room appeared to be somewhat round rather than square.
I quickly found out that if I just stared at a single point things would get very trippy. I could stare at something and after 30 seconds or so everything in my vision would be melting, swirling, patterns racing over it, tranforming into different objects. If I stopped focusing on the same point things would get nearly back to normal except for some mild form of the previous effects remaining.
At this point my girlfriend came in and was laughing and telling me how much she was tripping. Again she said something like, "That's so weird this took so long to happen!" and I had to say, "It took up until we smoked those two bowls of resin coated weed." She still wouldn't believe me for some reason and kept insisting it was just the mushrooms even though our entire experience changed as soon as we smoked the cannabis.
We layed in the bath together for awhile talking about various things and I kept thinking she was having a terrible time and felt like shit. I kept asking her and she would tell me she loved it and was having a great time. The last time we did shrooms she said she felt like she'd wasted a day of her life and just had a generally intense introspective experience so I think I was expecting it to happen to her again and kept checking that she was alright.
Looking back on the whole experience though, *I* was the one having the intense introspective journey into my mind. I should have been checking on myself not her. The visuals in the room had become overwhelming to me. Things had morphed and melted and swirled into a place I couldn't even recognize as my bathroom. The light in the room was green for some reason which I think bothered me the most.
I told her I was going to get out and she was sad and wanted me to stay in the bath but I told her I was feeling to strange to stay in the water and that the water was beggining to feel warm instead of hot. In reality the water felt disgusting to me and polluted which is why I wanted to get out but I didn't want to ruin her bath so I just got out and turned the water back on to reheat it.
I went in the other room and grabbed a blanket cause I didn't want to look at my skin. I was walking around naked and the sight of my skin had started to bother me, it was.. gross.
I came back into the bathroom and sat down between the tub and a dresser next to it and wrapped myself in the blanket. The visuals remained very intense, patterns shifting like water and I was watching this porcelin bird we have in our bathroom that stood up in it's nest and chirped a couple times.. I knew that it wanted food.
I sat there watching the room melt and swirl and began thinking about DMT. I told my girlfriend that I don't think I could ever handle DMT and I was joking myself to think I could possibly be ready or prepared for it. I just so happened to have 100 grams of Mimosa Hostilis bark that was going through the extraction process. This trip definatly made me rethink my ability to handle psychadelics. The visuals were very intense but I've been through much longer and more intense experiences. What got me was the mental aspect. I always forget how much mushrooms fuck with your brain. It was this total change in my mind that allowed me to rethink the whole idea of doing DMT. Not really in a negative or fearful way, just a new found respect for it I suppose.
We stayed there for probably another hour or two, my girlfriend sitting in the bathtub and me huddled in the corner wrapped in a blanket. I joked with my girlfriend about how earlier that night I was talking about how weak mushrooms are and how disappointed I was and now I was sitting in the corner hiding under a blanket crying about DMT.
Two hours until we needed to leave to catch the last ferry out to where we needed to be. My girlfriend had to start a new job the next morning at 9am, it was just training at a pet store so nothing too unmanagable. We both decided that we were stupid to think we could take mushrooms and then drive for two hours later that night. We decided that we could just sleep here and leave in the morning for the first ferry to get there by 8am. She called her parents who were expecting us and told them we decided we were gonna come tommorow instead. After she got off the phone she told me that she heard her Mom laughing in the background and was pretty sure her Mom knew we were too fucked up to come and that's why we changed our minds. Her parents know we do psychadelics and even let us use their forest land for tripping.
From this point on the trip just got weaker and weaker. We layed in bed together and talked for the rest of the experience. I had said that maybe we could go out tonight still and that when it comes to the last minute possible for us to go or not go I'll decide if I feel sober and capable of driving but that I didn't think it would happen.
The time came and we got ready to go and everything, I told her that when I got downstairs and sat in the car I'd be able to tell her if I thought I could drive or not. I felt 100% sober at this point but I know that changing your setting so completly from a room you've been in all night to sitting in your car could easily cause you to feel quite not sober.
Anyway, in the end I felt fine to drive and we drove out and everything was great. Honestly, I wouldn't normally drive at all until probably 12+ hours after taking mushrooms but the fact that my girlfriend had to start a new job the next day made me feel like it was worth doing since I felt fine.
In the end I had a very enjoyable trip but I'm still curious what it would have been like if I had never smoked the weed. My girlfriend still thinks it would have gotton more intense no matter what but I really believe it wouldn't have been any better if we hadn't smoked. It had already been 2 hours so I'm pretty sure the "peak" was over and the mushrooms were only going to get less intense. I don't know why she denies that the weed had such a profound effect on the trip, maybe she just can't believe marijuana is a potent psychadelic in it's own right. The thoughts I had about doing DMT during this trip were very valuble to me. I still think that I'll do it but I'm not sure when now. I don't think I'll do it as soon as my extraction is complete like I had planned, not sure when it'll be but.. I'm sure someday it'll happen. Anyway, hope this trip report is interesting to someone.. Sorry it's so long.

I really enjoyed reading this.
