Shrooms -- First time -- Fun time at the lake
I found this on my database. I wrote it a while ago, I thought I would just put it on here, to see if anyone would want to read it.
I was out at my friend’s lake. My friend L was an avid pot smoker where as I am an athlete who rarely tried the stuff (seriously). I always wanted to try mushrooms. Unexpectedly he said to me that he had some fungi friends and I was delighted. Asking him for some (not knowing how much) he gladly gave me some; him having plenty. I received about 4-8 grams (wasn't too sure) from my trusting friend, and I was on my way to experience this mushroom like trip (Note that I have never tried a psychedelic before this)
The setting was perfect. During a healthy camping supper consisting of hot dogs and cola, L decided to have mushroom hot dogs (5:30) For me after I got the mushrooms from L I just nibbled on the end of one, b/c L told me a myth that they were just in horse shit so they would taste bad. After seeing if it was going to taste like my mothers cooking, I was surprised to taste the presence of sunflower seeds. So as L ate his mushroom hotdog, I had a delightful eating of plain mushrooms loving the taste (call me crazy if you like).
L started tripping out about a half an hour later (6:00). I was getting a little upset because I did not feel anything. I asked him for more but he said that it would happen soon. An hour after I still felt nothing (7:00). After going down to the shore of the lake because I was getting pissed that nothing was happening and I was deciding to just get drunk, but something started to happen. There was a beautiful sunset just ending, and the sky was filled with amazing colors, which reflected off the lake. Staring at this wonderful beauty that amazed me more than anything I have ever witnessed; I felt relaxed, not caring that I was not feeling anything (obviously I was..rookie).
Pleased on what I just witnessed, I went back to see my good friend L. Him and I decided to go see our other friends on the other side of the campground. They were having their usual big bond fire. There was nowhere to sit so I leaned against a tree. The tree started to sway, so I thought that there was a big wind. Too my surprise the tree was a 5-foot wide giant, which wouldn't move if there were an earthquake. I enjoyed this so very much, I stayed in that position for about 20 min. Feeling the tree "melt" down my back.
Thinking that the effect that was on the tree would transfer elsewhere, I decided to lie on the ground. Doing the same thing, I was staring at the stars which where amazing in that they were swaying back and forth in unison, and I was lucky to catch the northern lights, which where jumping down from the sky and within my reach (which many times I tried to grab them). The green, purple and red kept my attention for a long time as then danced around in the sky for an indefinite amount of time.
After getting a little cold I sat down with the rest of the group, not talking to anyone. Just looking at the patterns in the fire, I noticed that there were spirits coming out of the top of the flames. Digging my feet into the sand below where I was sitting, I was picturing myself in a sandy beach on a plant far away in space, with beautiful nebulas all over the sky.
Getting a little bored of that, I noticed that there was a female sitting beside me. She had her eyes fixed on me and said that I was cute. After arguing with L for quite some time that I needed a girl, it was quite weird that I did not care. She said that she wanted to go for a walk back to her campsite so she can get some smokes. Glad that someone wanted to leave the campsite, I willingly accepted her offer.
Getting the smokes and then walking trough a maze of trees back to our friend’s site, the tree braches were leaning over the path. The leaves were hitting me in the face. After a while they were slapping me, they hated me, and I was getting angry. The girl "E" started lighting a smoke as we were walking. The spark from the lighter made a strobe effect and made things jump out at me and then retreat, doing this several times, I was in my max trip.
Coming out of the path we were near the lakefront. I realized that I had to jump in to save a beach ball that was floating around. After hitting the cold water, I realized that
There was no beach ball, but I enjoyed being in the water so I stayed there and E joined me after getting a bathing suit.
After we went back to her tent, talked about life and death and the stars. This was at about 11:30. Soon after we went outside made a fire and stared at it. E smoked a joint where as I enjoyed the comedown of the shrooms. I was relaxed and about 2 hrs later 1:00 I was perfectly fine. The next morning I wrote a song (I am a singer/songwriter) and that was the best song yet. I had an opening to the world.
The shrooms where a great experience. That was 7 years ago, and now I love to do them, only in moderation b/c I don't want to "spoil" the magic. If you actually read this whole story I commend you on your patience. I hope you enjoyed it, and I can't wait until I do shrooms again in the near future.
