First Mushroom Trip!

Where do I start? I guess i'll give a tiny bit of background about me, and then onto the trip itself.

I've done LSA before, via capsuls purchased over the internet. This was about 2 years ago now. I had a very difficult experiance, I was by myself and took 12 caps, normal dosage is 6. I was by myself (mistake) and really was terrified the entire time. The whole, "im going crazy and will never be normal again" feeling.

Even with that, i've always wanted to try shrooms. Everyone I know told me how great it is and how much more "happy" shrooms are compared to LSA.

So about a week and a half ago my friend N calls me up (hes only shroomed once before when I was with him) and asks me if I want to try shrooms on sat. night. I'm like "sure"...I have to be at work sunday at 7am so we decide to start early, like around 5pm.

N's friend K comes over with 3 eights of shrooms, and I decide to just eat them plain with a glass of OJ to wash them down. I probably ate the entire 3.5 grams in under 3 minutes. I was done before N and K had even gotten through half the bag. They were pretty impressed!

After that, I loaded up my pipe with a fat bowl and passed it around...Loaded it again and passed it around. Durring the second bowl I started to feel "somthing". I looked at K and one of her eyelids appeard to "flutter" very fast. It was very bizare. Her head also seemed to "zig zag" out of the corner of my eye.

I want to say right here before I go further that I didn't so much "see" things, more like I "felt" and "percieved" things. I didn't see any little elves or full on OEV's that weren't there.

What happends next is very hazy. I started to find simple plain objects very eye-catching and interesting. I found myself staring at a beer bottle for a long time. Not really thinking about anything, just really amused with the bottle.

I looked over at the window and the blinds looked like they were peeling up from the corner, like a sticker or somthing.

I got up and walked around a bit, and told N that his head was shrinking. It wasn't so much that I saw his head get smaller and smaller, but his head just didnt look big enough, and if i looked away and back again, it seemed even smaller. Like that voodoo car insurance comercial where the girlfriend uses a voodoo doll on her boyfriend.

I remember sitting in a very oversized leather chair feeling the most incredible body high I have ever felt. I managed to mumble out that I felt like I was having a whole body sexual experiance--if that's even understandable or possible.

N turned on the TV and that was almost to much to take in. Television ads seemed so hurried, frenzied and forcefull. "BUY NOW!!" kind of feeling. The TV had the ability to make me roll really hard to the point where I couln't watch anymore.

Next came the contemplation stage. I said to K that I heard up untill recently shrooms were legal in Japan. Then we started to talk about Japan and how they have little pokemon faces on road signs and stuff, and lots of bright colors in their toys and cartoons. Suddenly, everything about Japan made sence. We all just nodded.

I started to think about all the material "crap" we all have, and how much of it clutters up the entire world. I started carrying on about how there are, "so...many....THINGS!" and each time durring the trip if I started to say that I could feel the weight of all the usless crap and garbage in the world pressing on me. Really cool feeling. Apparently N and K could also feel this as well.

After this I felt like I had to go to the bathroom, but it was the most bizare sensation ever. I felt like I had already pissed myself. I said "I gota pee" and K said, "go NOW!" (shes experianced and knows the feeling I was having).

The bathroom...oh God the bathroom. I went into the bathroom. Walking there was hard enough, my legs felt very strage. When I finally got to the bathroom I started to trip HARD. The opposite end away from the door started to morph, like there was a horizon line and everything in the room was being pulled and distorted to that one point (the shower curtain). I could hardly stand and everything was spinning. I started shouting apparently about how hard I was tripping and how cool the bathroom felt.

The bathroom seemed to be it's own little trippy world. I came out into the living room with a wild look on my face. I kept saying, "theres somthing going on in that bathroom.." and K and N both said, "yeah everyone knows, even the guy upstairs probably..." I don't remember shouting at all.

I sit back down and N gets up to check out the bathroom.

This is really wierd/scary: I swear i saw him crawling around on his hands and knees, as if he was sneaking around trying to surprise or scare K. There was this half-wall that separates the living room from the hallway, and I could see around part of the half wall. It appeared that N crawled up to the corner and put his finger to his lips to go "shhhh" and then he backed away. All of a sudden he walks by the half wall and I say, "why were you sneaking around down there?" and he acts all puzzled.

Apparently I actually DID see that one hallicunation. It was kind of creepy and still feels creepy to me today.

We started to hear some really funny stuff on TV. We hit the history channel at the right spot when a guy was being interviewed saying, "When you see a Nazi, you squash him!" and we all thought that was really bizare/hillarious to just randomly hear.

MTV was really uncool to watch. There was some reality thing where a boyfriend/girlfriend were breaking up for real over him cheating on tv. All of us started to get "sucked" into the arguments and we all really got sad. So we changed it back to history channel. A comercial came on for a new series on the "Barbarian Hordes" and the comercial said "the bararians are comming!" and that started us all rolling again. I started going on and on and on about how they were comming, example:

"Dude, DUDE the BARBARIANS...there COMMING!!! HOLY S*HIT THERE ALMOST HERE, THE BARBARIANS!!! There comming!!!"

and we all got really anxious and worked up (in a good and fun way). All night I kept doing that too because it felt so cool get so excited over nothing.

I remember not wanting to roll or feel the waves. I just wanted one straight trip the whole time. I got sad when i'd come down, but before I knew it was rollin' again.

About 2 hours after comsuming the shrooms, N puts a fire-starter thing in the fireplace. He turns off the lights and we sit. I throw in the Slightly Stoopid CD and we are totally vibing to the music. The music seemed to be "inside" everything. I didn't "see" the music, but i definatley could "feel" it inside of me and inside every object around us.

We all decided to sit in front of the fire. The little grate thing inside the fireplace looked like thick metalic fingers holding the little block of wood. Because it was a firestarter and burned so evenly, it looked like there was a crown of fire floating inside. It was so neat. The walls inside the fireplace were white masonry, with black soot smeared here and there. All of a sudden the walls looked like very close up black and white photos of people/objects. They were very pixilated and blurry, but there were definatley faces in there.

N noticed that the light from the fire was on the celling. I laid my head back and got a light show that put any N. lights show to shame. (I see the N. Lights all the damn time).

The Slightly Stoopid CD ran out, so I threw in my techno mix CD. This really threw us for a loop. The sound of techno sounded very cold, metalic, non-human and very alien. I commented on how music played on real instruments has a more "human" element compared to techno. It had a "warmer" sound. After a bit the techno started to sound really good and we got sort of placed into a hypnotic trace staring at the fire. We started to see little "fire people" dancing and fighting back and forth as the fire started died. They were really going at it to the techno music.

After about 3 hours T showed up (hes a roomate there). His plan was to babysit (a little late, but whatever) and drink some beers. He totally brought us all down when he walked in. T was like some kind of link to reality, a grounding influence. By this time the shrooms were peaked and I felt like I was comming down anyway.

T wanted to go get food, so we pilled into his car. N and myself were in the backseat and we drove to this resteraunt that is compltley covered in polished chrome. It was closed so we just sat there and marveled at how beatutiful the lights looked off it.

For some reason, ordering McDonalds was so incredibly hard. I felt like drive-thru guy was really messing with us, when he actually wasn't. The food was hard to eat. I kept forgetting about it.

Smoking more weed helped bring the trip back, but it was also hard to hit the pipe. I'm not sure why, but it was just "hard" to do.

As I began to finally come down about 5 hours later I had a terrible headache and felt very tired/run down/agitated. I could not get comfortable, and all I wanted to do was lay down and sleep. N and K wanted to stay up and squeeze every ounce of trip.

Out of the whole ordeal the three coolest things I saw were the lights on the celling, the carpet, and the bathroom. The carpet seemed to stick to N's feet when he walked. I didn't actually SEE it stick, but it sort of had this aura about it that made me THINK it was. When he stepped down onto the carpet, it rippled like water outward from his foot. It was very slight, but amazing to see. I could also alter the way the celling was moving around by pointing my finger up at the celling and pushing and poking. Very awesome! And that bathroom...somthing WAS up in there. I went there 2 more time and got tripped out beyond belief in there.

I had a good experiance for a first time, and i'm looking forward to another experiance. I'll be much better prepared with a more comfortable place to come down in and lots of toys and such to help the trip along.

The only bad part about tripping was N and K....N kept trying to get me to "see this" or "check this out" or "this was cool last time". I got really annoyed with him trying to guide my trip. I just wanted to experiance it myself and see what I saw...K just sort of balled herslelf up on a loveseat the whole night and didn't particpate much. She supplied the bags, and her's was definatley better than ours. She must have been in her own world. She kind of creeped me out because she just sat there and watched N and me go on and on about philosophy and whatnot.

I'm sorry this is so long, but there was so much already I had to leave out! The more I typed the more I remembered...I hope this is a fun read for everyone!
 
Nice well written report! Sounds like you had fun! I'd like to try shrooms at the mean time I'm staying with hemp! ^_^
 
I'd have to say that mushrooms were a far "gentler" trip than LSA. Thats really the only way to describe it. Shrooms made me feel dreamy and my imagination was really fired up..The LSA was more "serious" (even before things went bad).

I really at no point in time durring the shrooms ever felt like the trip even COULD go bad. Only when my girlfriend called 16 times (she was drunk beyond belief that night) did I get wierded out. I had my phone on silent and for the next two days any kind of humming sound would freak me out.

I didn't answer her phone calls because I knew i wouldnt be able to...'sides shes a few states away and would be pissed if she knew i did shrooms w/out her. I did talk to my sis on my cell phone and that was totally confusing and troubling, but I just shifted my focus and the happy-vibe came back.

I enjoyed shrooms more than marijuana--and i smoke a few bowls a day. Problem is, shrooms are harder to come by and you can't do them all the time :( Although, in retrospect I probably wouldn't want to do them all the time, the trip is to long and intense to experiance more than like once a month or so.

One positive note I left out of my report...At one point I grabbed my can of Skoal and tried to take a dip whille tripping. Suddenly my brain opened up and I looked at the can and said, "why in the hell do I chew?" and I couldnt figure out why I keep doing it...

SO I'm now in the process of quitting...I have the patch/gum/lozenges...I think that the shrooming maybe opened my eyes to another perspective and allowed me to see how harmfull/disgusting/pointless chewing was.

I also said/felt like marijuana was taking over my life. Now that im sober I don't feel like that, however I can understand why at the time I felt like that. I smoke anytime I dont have anything going on...2-3 times a day usually...The shrooms made it "feel" like all I was doing was going from high to high. I havent cut back the 'erbal remedy yet...but im seriously starting to think about it.
 
Good trip report man! I can relate to the guy in Macdonalds 100% We went to one in the UK and it felt like we were waiting at the front of the queue for like 10 mins before we got served. We all lthought the guy was just standing there watching us LOL
 
good report man.. i personally used to love shrooms. but my last few times has been horrible for some reason. i trip so hard the whole world always crashes on me and i become lost in my own world. i've even tried eating rolls with my shrooms and it just makes it worse..

well i hope u have fun experimenting more with shrooms. how ever i do recommend that u don't eat more than 3.5 grams until u have tripped on this amount plenty of times
 
Excellent :)
This actually remindfs me alot of my first trip.. The bathroom being intense, the annoyance of TV, the thoughts about how fucked materials, money, war are. etc.. :) I can relate to a bit in this report :)

One thing though, about shroom visuals. You said you don't just straight out see it, you perceive it. Well, thats how psychedelics work, they make you believe you are seeing things. When it is just all your perceptions that are warped.

Whoa, that's kinda funny. On my first ever Shroom trip, there was a skoal can involved that I still consider one of my most realistic hallucinations ever. My friend pulled it out of his back pocket, and took about a quarter of the stuff out and put it in his mouth. Then he screwed the lid back on. I was watching closely. About 5 mins later, he took the same one (for sure - it hadn't even gone into his pocket) and opened it, and all 5 of us nearly jumped back, the can was 100% FULL. And there was also a huge amount still in his mouth. I snatched the can and looked at it, and the tobacco will perfectly and condensely packaged inside. I was like 'maaaaan im fucking tripping!!'. He threw the can of skoal into the street and hasn't dipped since.
