Mushrooms - First time - Big Mistake.. Hell opens up.

Mushrooms - Big Mistake - Hell opens up.

This is my first time doing a post, so please excuse me if its not fully drawn out and written. Also, this trip was more than a few days ago, so, excuse the blotches of missing information ( if there is any)

It was a friday night. I was with some of my friends, when I got a call on my cellular asking if I was looking for .ANYTHING. This 100% excites me, "D", "L' and "J". we have been looking to try psychadelic mushrooms for sometime.

( just for .thinking. purposes, I am experienced in use of X, Ganj, DMT at this time)

9:00.) We take 1/8 of an ounce ( 3.5 grams) each. There are about 4 caps and 5 stems to each bag. the other 3 get them down like candy.. I gag them down with a drink.

9:15.) We arrive to the movie theatre. We are going to watch the newly released "Honey". I feel nothing but a slight happy, euphoric feeling. Not noticeable enough yet.

9:45.) The movie has started, its about 25 minutes in. i start noticing the colors of the carpet in the movie theatre. The ceiling seems to be getting higher and higher.

10:00) I have an extreme body high at this point. Everything is funny, I giggle at the most unfunny thing. I am questioning EVERYTHING. I just REALIZE that D, J, and L have been with me the whole time! They all have delivish grins on their face. This panics me, I don't want them to look at me anymore. I look away, eyes back on the movie. They keep looking at me.. I feel so open when they aren't. When they look at me, it "closes" the world around me.

10:30) The mushrooms are now what I believe to be in "full effect" now. I realize that they are, and then they take over. I feel like, I have to accept anything that happens. if I don't, bad things will happen. I stand up, my body wants to leave the theatre. I go outside, and at this point I am so confused. I don't know what I want.. I keep ping ponging in and out of the theatre.

11:15.) The movie is finished. The confusion has cleared up a bit. I found 2 stems in my pocket so I eat them. At this point I am not myself. I am watching myself, talking to people. Unable to stop what is happening, just forced to watch. Our ride home comes. At this point, I haven't even talked to D J or L. I am just off in my world, talking to whoever "glows".

12:00.) The experience has gone down now, I feel the confusion coming back. The happiness started turning into anger and depression mixed. I had control over my actions now, and I used them. I felt so angry. our ride gets us home, and we are locked out. I get pissed off big time! I hated D J and L, I didn't want to hang with them. I started questioning our friendship, why i do drugs.. Why am I such a bad person? I hated the people that just a while ago were my best friends.

12:30) the trip is leaving, I have a feeling in my mind.. A changed, un-wanted feeling, almost like my brain is sick. I have remorse on doing the shrooms. I never want the come-down feeling again.


-- 3 days later... > today <......

I still don't have the same passionate care and feelings that I had for my friends before the trip. I feel like they are such bad people compared to me. I don't know why.. I wish I could go back to how things were. I suddenly have an un-wanted "realization" of how bad drugs are.. I hate it.. I just want to have the good times before the mushroom trip.

Well, In my conclusion: I don't think that mushrooms are a good drug to do. We call them "psychadelic". In my mental dictionary under Psychadelic mushrooms, I see Poison.

I wish I would've had a better experience.. has this happened to anyone else before? does acid have the same come-down as shrooms? I don't think I would do shrooms unless I have some X to drop as the come-down started.

Please give me some comments. I would appreciate some comments in e-mail, because I can check my e-mail on my cell phone, and am not on the computer very often. Please e-mail me at [email protected]

tell me if mushroom trips are usually like this?? Do I need to be in a better environment? e-mail me!!

Yes you need a better environment. #1, a full 8th of mushrooms is a lot for your first trip. I've eaten mushrooms several times and I consider 2 grams of good shrooms to be enough. Also I would never eat mushrooms and then go see a movie in a theater. It is important to be able to do and go wherever you want when you're tripping, and being in a theater isn't that kind of environment. (some people will disagree and love tripping at theaters, but I don't)

Also I consider shrooms to have the smoothest comedown of any drug, moreso than weed even. Mushroom comeups sometimes shake me up a bit but the peak, plateau, and comedown are almost always a very peaceful experience for me.

Mushrooms are not "poison" btw... in order to die from them you'd have to eat way more than you possibly could.

I think if mushrooms freaked you out a bit, and you didn't like the comedown, I'd be very careful with LSD. It has the potential to trap you in a bad trip for much longer than mushrooms can, and the comedown is much more drawn out and you will still feel it a bit the next day.

peace, and good luck in future journies

I'm sorry you had such a difficult time and I hope things are better now.

I also have to agree with bluedolphin about your set, setting and dosage being a little off and this probably had a lot to do with your reaction. I also agree with his comments about mushroom comedowns.

Psychedelics are not a sure ticket to a fun time. A good trip often requires some effort on the part of the user to take responsibility for their own experience. This can be difficult, but it can also be very rewarding.

If you do decide to try a psychedelic again, please use a lower dose and take it in a more comfortable setting.

Hope this helps.

yep, set and setting is really important for trips, a theater isn't the best place to be imo, outside in nature always is recommended. i agree with both evlove and bluedolphin on those statements, although i disagree on some. i find the comedown of mushrooms to be rather harsh. as you mentioned, you're questioning a lot of things and i have this on the comedown, the introspectiveness can be tricky sometimes and almost depressing, but that's a part of the trip wich you must accept if you're going to eat mushrooms. what i also have encountered and learned from all of my mushroom experiences (those reach back in the old days) is that you can take things the wrong way quite easily and are convinced that some things are real and actually happening. like the develish smiles on your friends faces, you interpreted it the wrong way, they were tripping, just like you was. you felt threatened by them and their looks, don't let paranoia creep up on you, always fight it and try to make sense, try to think rational, if you find yourself thinking too much about it discuss it with your friends, try to explain how you feel, don't let all these thoughts get a hold of you. omg i'm ranting like a mofo here, well to try and make it short, don't see this as a bad trip, learn from your experiencs the same way you have to learn from your faults. i don't know what else to say, i had this great advice i was gonna give you but i've seem to lost it during the writing/ranting process.. ah well, take care and good luck !!

btw, it's psychedelic

Every time i do mushrooms i think i should quit doing drugs.

 

[inimical]

shrooms are ok, they do have such a bad-trip potential to them though

 

[candyangel200]

Your trip sounds aweful, but like everyone else here has just told you, your setting is at fault. The first time I took shrooms I took them with other very experienced users, during a warm sunny day- OUTSIDE. For me I really cannot stress enough the importance of trippping outside. Manmade objects simply don't have the visual depth and softeness, nor the energetic absorption of the earth and trees. Two rules that my fellow trippers and I always follow when taking mushrooms are these:
1. Before consumption begin with a ceremony to state what we would like to learn from our trip and to recognize the fact that mushrooms are a powerful drug. But to remember that while we can learn from them, we must remember that we willl not be high forever.
2. If anything, anything at all, starts to bother us, whether it is a vision or thought, setting, person... we should tell another fellow tripper. This can prevent you from delving too far into a negative thought. Once you have stated this feeling than you can let it slip away.

Better luck next time!

It is common to over-analyze people and their actions and lives while on mushrooms. Maybe you will feel a bit different about your friendfs in a few days, you're still on the afterglow. Mushrooms can show you some very important things about yourself and your choices, but not everything they show you is true.. it's upto you to sort out what you want after the trip.

I have also heard a few people call their mushroom trip being "poisened". Mushrooms are not for everyone, and althopugh they don't feel as clean as say LSD, they are not in any way a poisen. The active drug is psilocybin and psilocin and is pretty safe and has not been known to cause neurotoxicity.

Thanks for the report though, as I said, mushrooms aren't for everyone!

Every time i do mushrooms i think i should quit doing drugs.

LOL.. same as me and my friend.

Mushrooms are not for everyone, and althopugh they don't feel as clean as say LSD, they are not in any way a poisen.

Maybe this is subjective, but I feel the mushroom trip to be cleaner than LSD, with less chance of paranoia (although it is possible, especially out in public). There doesn't seem to be as much of comedown, where the fun is over but you can't sleep, which used to happen to me on LSD. I do know one person who says they always give him bad trips, but he does LSD. But due to one being a chemical and the other being natural, I think shrooms are normally a smoother experience.

 

[Splatt]

Just proof psychedelic drugs are different for every person. I can easily get "The Fear" on mushrooms, while LSD I feel more in control. I love and respect both drugs, but mushrooms normally always turn into a paranoid or "bad" trip for me.
