Shrooms - First Time - Still the best trip of my life!
I've only done shrooms once in my early experimenting days and even now with everything behind me it was the greatest thing I've ever felt.
So the story goes, my brother finds a connection in Japan selling "much potent than most" cubensis. Our package arrives two weeks later and I was amazed to find 10 bags of random japanese candy, resealed, containing each 4 grams of shrooms. What an amazing idea, we think.
My friend(M) is planning on tripping with me, but he ends up with only about 1 gram while I have 2 1/2 (most of the shrooms weren't ours). We pick a nice tuesday night at about 9pm to eat them, and I am surprised that they taste fairly good, a little like rye bread and a lot like dirt.
T+0:45 - My brother is hanging out to keep an eye on us with his girlfriend and he had told me before that they take some time to set in. He must be right because neither my friend or I feel anything yet.
T+1:15 - I remember a growing pressure building inside my head at this point. I am starting to feel a little goofy and noticing a slight mood lift. The come up does not seem very strong so far, and I am able to relax and go with the flow.
T+1:45 - It's amazing how intense the mushrooms had grown by this point. My friend was still feeling about the same as earlier, and sadly he didn't get any higher for the rest of the trip (1 gram just didn't cut it). I remember clearly laying reverse at the TV watching a gorillaz video and just telling my friend over and over how it is the most impressive thing I've ever seen. The colors of the video seemed to stay impressioned over my vision and everywhere I looked I can see blue swirls and sparkling fireworks eating up the dark room. Everything looked amazing, like a scene from the wildest dream, and my feeling of awe only grew stronger.
T+2:15 - This was clearly the peak. Inside my head there were dozens of thoughts running back and forth as if without my consent. I had many trains of thoughts and multiple voices of thought in my head, which I can't even describe but as limitless mental ability. In the dark room I can see the white knobs of a cabinet as if they are growing, and as I examine them they grow nearer and then shrink farthur away, while my peripheral vision swirls and dances and I am swept into wonder. My ego was completely shattered, and I spend some time telling my friend how I am in love with a girl that I've had a crush on. How everything she does, even the sounds of her walking are beautiful. I seem to have realized my place in the universe. No.. more this realization was thrown at me. I catch bits and pieces and learn at once to love everything I've ever seen or done.
T+3:30 - I am still tripping extremely hard but for some reason I knew I needed to get sleep. I lay down but the literal noise inside my head was too loud to sleep. I ended up just laying and thinking about everything that's ever been. I found it funny at the time how shrooms can be so cliche when they are so beautiful and truly magical. To this day I feel that way.
I had so many realizations that night, most of which I knew would last forever but the next day had faded to become ghosts behind my memory. A few glimpses of the things I had learned have stayed with me - and believe me, every one of them has been worth the world to me. To this day I still feel a connection to people who have done shrooms. Like we know the magician's secret that the rest of the crowd is just guessing about, sadly shrooms don't show up locally often, but when they do I'm gonna head back to the fantasy I left behind.
