Mushrooms - Experienced - Why not to take a 1/2 oz of cyanescens

I'll start off by saying this is by far the highest dose of shrooms I have ever taken, the next highest is about 1/4 oz. I don't recommend you take this much unless you really know what you are doing and have a sitter, which I did.

I started off by grinding up my 1/2 oz that a friend picked for me. I then took the powder and soaked it in hot water in a filter to make tea. I had to do it in two batches because there was so much. I made two cups of tea out of each batch, totaling 4 cups. This was the first time I made tea and I was suprised at how good it tasted. Deffinately my new favorite way to take shrooms. My roomate was home and he doesn't like shrooms so he agreed to be my sitter.

It took quite a while for the tea to kick in, perhaps because I drank it over almost an hour period. By the time I finished the last cup I could just start to feel the onset. I could tell it was going to be one hell of a trip. The first really noticable effect was the unability to move my fingers with any coordination. My hands just didn't want to listen to me, it took all my concentration to light a cigarette. This was about a half hour after finishing my tea (an hour and a half since I started drinking it). Shortly after walking became just as hard as moving my hands.

I've never lost motor control on shrooms like this before. I tried to take a piss but I ended up peeing all over the floor. It was about this time (about an hour after finishing the tea) that I started to become very confused. I would just blurt out random names and words and couldn't really form a sentance. I could really only hop from couch to couch as I couldn't really stand up for more then a few seconds or else I would fall.

By about 2 hours I finally started to get open eye vissuals, mostly just morphing and bright colors at first. I tried calling random people on my cell phone (it was 1 AM by now), but luckily I couldn't work my phone and it eventually started morphing and freaked my out so I through it across the room.

Once I got up to the peak I was a little more comfortable with being extremely confused and unable to speak in any sort of rational way. I got my roomate to but some music on, mostly hip/trip hop like Atmosphere, Aesop, Deltron, Dr. Octogon, and Shpongle. The music really brought the vissuals out and I really couldn't focus on normal reality anymore. I got the usual senses mix up that I get, where I could see, feel, smell, and hear the music at the same time. It was flowing all around me in ways I can't really describe.

I listened to music well through the peak. Once I got more back to reality I decided to but a movie on, Boondock Saints. The movie seemed to last forever, but I really enjoyed it. I then smoked a bowl to the sunrise and decided to go to bed. I woke up after about only 3 hourse of sleep, at about 9 AM. Suprisingly I was still tripping and I had to stumble out of bed to the living room. I turned the TV on a sat around untill it completely went away, not untill about 11 AM. So over all it was about a 10-11 hour trip.

Suprisingly it wasn't the most intense shroom trip I've had, but it was the most bizzare. I don't normally lose motor functions like I did and that frightened my at first. If you're really into shrooms I would say this high of a dose is worth a shot, but I'm not going to do it again.
 
Good to hear it turned out ok, but this sounds like a weaker(ish) experience considering the amount taken? Do you think making tea out of it had anything to do with this?
 
Psilocybe cyanescens are supposed to be VERY potent, I am surprised a half ounce of those dried didn't knock you compltely senseless for the good remainder of the day, I have heard reports of people frying hardcore for hours off just 2-3 dried caps8o
 
Well acording the shroomery and erowid tea is a very good method. It was deffinately the stongest trip I've ever had, just not the most intense, if that makes any sense.
 
Tea is my preferred way to commune with the mycological deity, beats chowing down a fuckton of P.cubensis or tampanensis, the taste of those things makes me shudder, I quite like the taste of dried P.semilanceata though, almost a nutty flavour, best dried till just SLIGHTLY chewy=D

I have NEVER had any potency problems by brewing tea though, I heat the water up, let it boil, with maybe a few other ingredients, let cool to just hot, and add in the goodness:)
That recipe always makes for a good experience.
 
That sounds like excessive shroomage... considering I've lost my ego on 2.5 grams of good cubensis...

I imagine you peaked for a few hours off a dose that high? What was the peak like? Any memorable moments?
 
Yeah the peak did last hours. The odd thing is I remember everything. As I said, when I woke up the next morning I was still coming down.
 
"I don't normally lose motor functions like I did and that frightened my at first."


nice report!

I use to pick Cyanescens in Blank . There very potent indeed! More so then P. Cubbies!

I have noticed that Cyanescens does what you describe; unlike the other type strains of shrooms. I have had complete paralyses; to the point of not even being able, to lift a finger off of the floor. I no of two other friends that this has happen to, also.

But not every one i know, gets these symptoms.

I usually took 4 grams of Cyanescens in those days. nowadays i'll only use
P. Cubbies, i really don't care for what Cyanescens does to me!
Cheers
 
WoWza!!! Cyanescens put me on my ass, no way could I ever imagine eating even 5 grams of those badboys! They are usually twice as potent as PC. I think that both azurescens and cyanescens cause you to lose motor control, as one night my buddy joshua ate 7 grams of azures and as him and my friend were walkign through a feild he collapsed and had to be carried home. Pretty much all motor functions were shot except the ability to slightly drag his feet.

I second that Psilocybe Cubensis is king!!
 
Damn! A half ounce of cyanescens and you were still 'awake' to view reality? That would have put me out harder than the strongest of K-Holes and theres no way I would have been able to control any aspect of my body of thoughts.

nice report
 
Don't Azurescens and cyanescens also have higher levels of baocystin and norbaocystin? could they perhaps be responsible for the increased paralytic effect many seem to experience on cyanescens et al?

I have no experience as yet with either of the above, but P.semilanceata also contain quite a high level of baocystin, not sure about norbaocystin, but that is usually only persent in small amounts anyway, and semilanceata (liberty caps) knock me right the fuck on my arse too, nothing like those motherfuckers to knock you back down where you belong=D
 
Dr Octagon! Here I was hoping someone else had tripped to that :D

This is a great report, even if it does ring a little too close to home :\
