Mushies - First time! - not what I expected but in a good way!
I posted this in reward's thread but it turned out more like a trip report so, posting again!
Last night I had my first mushroom experience too! It was almost exactly like you described.
We were given mushrooms in a capsule (ground up, dried maybe??). There was four capsules. We were told by the person who gave them (as a gift
) to wait until we were in a park or something to truly experience it. And I had planned to; but I just woke up from a big sleep after an awesome party, and I had had a couple of glasses of wine and felt in the mood to get high again. As you do.
My boyfriend was sleeping on the couch and I did my best to wake him up "Hey baby I want to take the mushrooms!!" He went "nerrrr neeerrrrrrrr" (which means, "fuck off, I'm sleeping") so I reluctantly just took one myself. 1/2 hour later he woke up - I think my words had sunk in, he had a beer and decided to join me.
By this stage I was feeling *different*, but it was nothing major. Just a lovely, peaceful glow, and all the sketchiness and body aches I had been feeling from the night before had dissapeared. I described it to my boyfriend as like "a pill without the come-up", and it was. LOVELY, is the only word that encapsulates that first moment.
Because I was feeling so good and yet not fucked up, I thought, to hell with it - and suggested we take the other one.
I took my 2nd mushy cap about an hour in; my b/f had his maybe 15 minutes after his first. We sat in the computer room talking shit, listening to Pearl Jam and Faith No More... I was still just feeling mildly happy, content and no visuals (yet).
I got the sudden urge to move somewhere more comfy, so I set up the loungeroom: lit some candles, put 5 CD's on random (Silverchair, FNM, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana), got the uggies out. My b/f came in and we put on a dvd of Silverchair's Diorama concert on mute. Thats when the visuals started. We had incence going, and were smoking ciggarettes, and all of a sudden the background of the room sort of "faded out" and all I could see was the two types of smoke, mingling in the air. Then the smoke formed a kind of a "grid", which merged into another image, sort of like a very pixelated photgraph.
I am not a fan of psychadelics at ALL, I don't really enjoy acid, I abhor weed....and I am scared of "seeing things", but this was strangely okay. It wasn't anything to panic over. I didn't feel out of control at all, like I had feared.
I looked over at the couch and my b/f was rocking back and forth. I was just getting into the music, feeling good, enjoying my mild visuals... but by now, he was in another state ENTIRELY. He was squirming and laughing at nothing, hugging himself, rolling around on the couch... all the while being still *concerned* about me: "It's okay baby, I'm fine, I'm enjoying it.... it's just, whoa... can't you feel the rushes???" I'm like "No, not really" *bemused*
It was funny at first, especially when he said "I feel like a lump of plasticine! ! I just want to squish myself!"
I think we laughed for 15 minutes straight after that.... it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard (another 'had to be there' moment )
But then then he just got annoying. I was really chill, feeling amazing, but he was starting to freak me out with all his squirming and rolling around, eyes rolling back in his head. Killing my buzz!!! grrrr. In the end, he went into another room (his own idea - he needed to get away from the stimulus I guess) and I just relaxed back on the couch with the music.
That's when I started to see the colours.... OH... the pretty colours! The picture on the TV started to change and eminate rainbow colours from it in a vibe pattern, like sonic waves. Everything I looked at had a ring of colour around it. And not only that, I've never felt so happy in all my life.... I felt like I realised, for the first time, how beautiful everything actually was. No jadedness, no cynicism, just an acceptance of the wonder of life and feeling really humbled by it. And this was in my *loungeroom*, shiiit, imagine feeling that in nature
My cat started miaowing and so, feeling so magnanimous and benevolent, I fed him dinner again.
I checked on my b/f, who said he was fine, not to worry. So I hopped on the computer then and made a few gushing entries which I'm laughing about today.
Slowly, slowly started to come down. The visuals left me first.... started to see normally... but was still left with a residual happiness and peace. I actually felt hungry! So I ate a peice of pizza and felt really happy about that too. Then I joined my b/f in bed (he'd put himself to bed by now - just too intense for him) and slept like a baby all night.
Today I feel fine. Mushies were NOTHING like I expected.... I expected so little, I guess; I'd always avoided them, thinking it would be some kind of head-fuck, but instead it was more like a pill only gentler. I can't wait to try them with MDMA next time, and in the company of others Outside!

It's not so much about relating to your fellow human, as relating to them in the context that they are part of the wonder that is nature.
