Dose{ ~0.75g. First time shrooms. Experience may be influenced by 10mg methadone taken in the morning (no opioid tolerance)}

Set{ Expecting very minor effects from such a low dose, hopefully a little mental clarity, which is what I was lacking and seeking} <-- I was in for a big surprise!

Setting{ At night, in my room for the most part}

Chronometer{

T+0.00 8:45
T+0.75 Onset and nausea (latter negated by pepto bismol)
T+1.50 Peak
T+3.00 Peaking stronger and stronger
T+3.50 It is getting more intense as it reveals some unsettling facts. I am begining to feel trapped. I'd like it to set me down now ~.~ certainty will come back in the morning, for better or worse
T+4.00 It's letting me down now

}

Mental effects{

Clearing out garbage: I just went through a do-it-yourself psychotherapy session. I recognized all the ways that my mind is incongruent with how I'd like it to be, I analyzed, I accepted what need be, and let everything go, starting afresh. Before, I had no clue how much "luggage" I was carrying around (even though I was trying to boil my mind down to simplicity, I never succeeded)

Alert: Before my trip, for a while, I haven't had much motivation, my mind has been sorta foggy, bored. This trip feels like somewhat of a re-birth. Like I just went on vacation into bliss and now I'm ready for anything. Will this hold up once I'm back to real life? Stay tuned for follow up report:)

I also realize certain things that I shouldn't be taking for granted, but I have been

Breathing: Breathing becomes significant, and very peaceful. Alot is going on with my breathing. I get shortness of breath sometimes at the intensity of the effects, at other times I have to take big breaths

Smiling: I laugh a little sometimes and smile sometimes. At whatever I'm thinking about (I very easily laugh right now) or at the amazing-ness of the visuals. When I smile it's like smiling for the first time...

Somato: Like a mild marijuana, I feel floaty and distorted. It is very very pleasant. This is the body buzz I've been seeking with opioids, but never reaching it. The body buzz is very intense, however, and clings forcefully

Euphoria: The euphoria is very real and full, but I can see how delicate it is. It rests on my comfort with many aspects of the trip, especially my body sensations. I can see how easily this euphoria could be turned into dysphoria and send me into a "bummer": it takes some work to keep it up

Clarity: This entire trip report is being written as I'm peaking

Summ: I consistently get the feeling that this is something to be respected, cherished, and my dosing with this drug should be spaced out over months. This doesn't feel like a drug. It feels like a key to myself

}

Visual effects{

OEV---

Patterning: Patterns are everywhere, if I let them develop. On my (completely white) floor tiles, I saw vibrant dynamic alive "ancient-looking" patterns develop. On my uniformly tan carpet, patterns of flowers and such form.

Afterimages: Everyone's familiar with this, no explanation needed. An interesting note is that this is happening with my body sense, not just visual sense. I scratch my face, and feel the scratch for up to a minute afterward

Myself in the mirror: No words...

CEV---

Like many different drugs in one. Sometimes my closed-eye vision will be one way, at other times it's like i'm on a completely different drug. The following description merely scratches the surface

Lines: Thousands of curvy lines surface, flowing, dynamic, shaded, alive, making up images and such. This particular CEV "set" is completely different than my cannabis-induced visions

Points: Points on my visual field radiate light. Sometimes I'm confused because it seems like my eyes must be half-open or something. But they're fully closed and my arms are covering my eyes so that no light penetrates

Color: Areas turn into pure color, colors merge and interact in sparkly magic-looking orgies of color

Summ: Shrooms give an earthy, organic, geometric, engaging scenery which appears "embedded" into my visual field

}

POST SCRIPT

Emotional enlightenment: While the intellectual and visual disturbances stopped at T+4, the mushrooms continued to show me important emotional content as I was laying in bed intending to sleep. At one point I had a sort of 'break-through,' crying, learning, and immediately acting on the knowledge gained.

Syncronicity: I will detail a couple examples (out of dozens). 1. This was the perfect night to try shrooms, I needed its lessons at that exact time. 2. Winamp was on shuffle, and Pink Floyd - Poles Apart played while I was laying on my bed, incidentally the song that played on shuffle while I was laying on my bed during my first psychedelic experience (first cannabis experience)

Insomnia: The great after-glow I expected was impeded by a ridiculous insomnia. After taking two ambiens (20mg), two klonopins (1mg), two melatonins (6mg) I could feel my body sinking and tired, but my mind was still at optimum trip-level stimulation; mushrooms made my mind an unassailable fortress, where with all these depressants in me I felt like I could easily solve a sheet of integrals. Thus, I got very little sleep. This, combined with the (circumstantial) emotional component to the trip come-down, negated any after-glow

Myself in the mirror: In the trip report, I wrote "no words..." Well I quickly got a couple pics off google and used MS Paint to try to show what I saw at one point while looking at myself in the mirror

Yes, the after body-feel is weird on mushrooms! I especially like this effect when dancing. It is amazing to feel your arm in a million different positions at once! Like Siva!!! :)
 
Great report, the only shroom experiences I've had were unknown lose doses while in Southeast Asia.. experienced a lot of very strong, natural, clean feeling euphoria, and noticed it felt as though the breeze was flowing straight through my body. Need to find some more one day...

^my dealer said he took .9 and was tripping for 4 hours

i think whoever grew these shrooms knew what they were doing. their price also reflects their potency, i paid a crap load per eighth
 
were the stems really skinny? they were probably a potent strain, not how the person grew them.

anyways, this was a great report, sounds a lot like my first trip! i can tell u right now: try to hang on to everything that you learned. even though i still hold true many of the lessons that i learned, i have realized that i need to do a lot of "cleaning up" as you call it. i believe whatever i need is still there, but has just been obscured by living in day to day society. you are right: mushrooms are a key to helping you reveal what you need to reveal. not that you can't do it without them, of course, but they do help.

and dont let anyone tell you what you experienced was some stupid drug induced stupor. as long as you believe what you experienced was true, helpful, and real to yourself that is all that matters. congratulations, and happy tripping!
 
^yup the stems were very skinny and the caps were small too

the experiences i've had on psychedelics have me absolutely certain that the state of mind induced by them is special, nothing like other drugs. they're responsible for my academic and career path.

many people do tell me it's unnatural, delusional, and akin to psychosis. EG one of my friends says i'm "just young and stupid" for thinking drugs can help me out in intellectual or personal/emotional ways. she says that she was that young and stupid once, when she was 14. she says "they're meant to get you fucked up, that's how you're supposed to use them"

all i can say is it's unfortunate they will never get to experience reality in such a beautiful and useful way
 
Tripping on less than a gram is well possible with the more potent species, such as Azures, Subaeurginosa, and the like. They are much more potent than Cubensis, of any strain.

I never said it wasn't possible, but aside from cannabis, mushrooms are what I have the most experience with. Sometimes, I just need a little more.
