Ok, Last night I ate about a 1/16 (approx 2 grams) at 11:30 and then maybe 1/2 gram later, chewed them up without any food (the taste was not as bad as I thought it would be). I have been interested in it for a while and a friend got some really good ones, so I decided to try it. We were going to go to a club to see Donald Glaude but ended up staying at his place most of the night. Started feeling the body rush like coming up on e around 12:15. My friend who was more experienced was already tripping so I knew for sure this was going to be fun.
My first visuals came shortly there after when I noticed the room's colors were a little off and the floor was composed of three layers that were all shifting around and over eachother. My friend and I had the giggles and were laughing like crazy at this point. Ok this was going to be really fun. My sense of time was completely gone now so I'm just going to describe some of the things we did over the course of the night.
If you guys have not tried it, you absolutely have to watch the Chillout Experience DVD while you are tripping, it is absolutle fucking amazing. No words to describe it. Other than that, all I really remember is watching the hairs grow on my arms, the room breathing and changing colors, lights heating up and cooling down, looking at my distorted friends, watching Austin Powers 2, watching a girl spill some liquid coins, looking at stuff... I'm sure you get the point.
Ok so now for the bad stuff. My problem with the funky fungi is the side effects. I felt sick and gassy most of the time, sweaty palms, getting annoyed with everyone, and the worst was the distortion of time. I must have looked at my watch a million times to see when it was going to be over. Then towards the end of the trip, I imagine around 4:30, I kept thinking I was forgetting to breathe. I could feel my body shrinking into the floor- which was also falling away from me, then I would realize I wasn't breathing and quickly sucked in air, expanding my body back to its normal size. Then I would continue watching the movie, only to start feeling like I was shrinking again. I must have done that 5 times. I was scared to fall alseep in fear that I might suffocate.
All in all, it was fun for a while, seeing all the cool stuff, but was it worth it? Probably not. I enjoy the sense of togetherness when rolling, I missed that connection on shrooms. also, we would start arguing over dumb shit, and then forget what we were talking about. My mind is so clear and focused on E, but last night it was confused and distorted. I know I should have just let go and enojy it, but after about three hours of enjoying it, I just wanted it to end. I would have been a lot more fun if it had only lasted 2 hours since it would have felt like much longer than that. I just got bored with the trip. I'll probably never shroom again, I'll just stick to pills- way more of a mind expanding, personal growth experience. shrooms just made me feel stupid and out of control. Fun, but not my idea of of well spent money. I can only descibe it as feeling dirty to see some cool stuff. sorry for the rant, peace.
 
I feel you. I don't like psychedelics either. Drugs should feel good and be fun, not some mind-torture thing you wish would end. I figure I needed to try shrooms a few times to realize this. I did, and I'm done with them.
 
Well, I pretty much dissagree with you about mushrooms. I think the experience is definately worth it. But if you don't wish to have a real mind0expanding experience, and experience increased sense of yourself, life, visual and audio etc... and just want to stick with neurotoxicity.. it's your choice ;)
Try acid if you want a cleaner, less intense but longer trip.
 
Sorry to hear you had a bad time. You gave mushrooms a try and found they weren't for you. Everyone takes different drugs for different reasons. Good luck in the future....
 
acid cleaner less intense.. your kidding right. In my experiences shrooms have been a bit more euphoric and not as paranoid trips.. Acid just seeems to fuck with your head, and the back and neck discomfort suks, along with the gassy feelin when coming down.. This is just my opinion but i think if you don't like shrooms then acid won't be any good either.
 
I agree with Splatt, ive always found lsd, when taken in moderate doses, to be a much more "clean" and less chaotic trip than mushrooms.
Maybe thats because my Lsd has been low grade and my mushrooms have been high grade...
 
All I have to say is EWWWWW to mushrooms.
I had the worst time of my life on a bad trip from shrooms. I haven't touched them for almost 3 years. E is for me too. Waaaaaay better. ;)
 
now, now guys let's not start a flame war. He tried shroomz and didn't like them. If someone doesn't like a particular drug who are we to judge them. I like the Psychdelics as well as E and others.

I guess I should add that I didn't hate the trip, it just wasn't as profound as I thought the experience would be. I mean the first pill I ate changed my whole outlook on life. I guess I'm just disappointed.
 
Maybe you should give it a second try, now you know a bit what to expect.
Most of the times ive done mushrooms ive found that set&setting plays a BIG role in how my trip unfolds.
Dont expect the drug to automattically give you a connection with your trip partner, if i want a deep and philosofical trip i usually eat them alone or with someone i trust completely and who has the same expectations for the trip as me.
Im just guessing here but it seems you and your friend were a bit unsure of eachother and that could have played a part in why you didnt really like it, or maybe psychedelics arent your thing.
There is a huge difference between E and Psilocybin mushrooms and you cant really compare the two.
 
seems like theres 2 types of drug users in this world, e or acid. you either like the feeling of drugs like e or drugs like acid, of these 2 drugs acid and e are on the top. also seems like if u take e, you have neurotoxicity, seems like if u do acid, you affect your mental wellbeing. swap neurotoxicity for wellbeing? maybe this is how it works, quite frankly, gimme e.
 
Sounds to me like MysterE can't handle his shit... wut u experienced is the shit i look forward to when trippn. i luv sitting in my seat watching my fingers moving, the hair on my arms grow, my body feeling like it is caving in. and i especially love the euphoric experience watching everything around me melt, and start moving, and watch the walls breath in and out.
 
After my first experience with shrooms, was good, but it was no e. I thought i'd never do em again, it was "E for Me!" But thinking back to the experience, i wanted to try it again and when i did, my second experience was much more positive!
Now i love shrooms and dont touch e.
 
Point Blank..Everyones Different..
As for me. Yoo could throw down an ounce of shroomies or 80 sheets of cid' and I would'nt touch it. Even tho I have never hadda bad experience on cid' or shrooms I have found that I just cant handle the DURATION of the trip. MDMA is different IMO. It's less ofa mindfuck and is less intense than cid' or shrooms. PLUS the duration is ALOT less. Iunno'..
Give me a pill that has the same effects as cid' or shrooms BUT doesnt last as long and i'll eat it
*shrugs*
