Ok, first off, this mushroom trip took place in late August of 2001. I am posting it because it is the one time I have shroomed and I just ran into some more so I want to get this out before I trip again. As a little back round, I have taken LSD I’d say an estimated 10 times total so I am by no means experienced but I have tripped before. I’ve used mdxx an estimated 40 times, and was 2 months prior a daily chronic smoker.
The experience was supposed to be my last day and night of freedom as I had court the next morning and would most likely be in jail for a little bit (another story in itself but I won’t bother with that here). So friends D, G, J, T, C, A and myself went out and bought 1 and a quarter ounces. We decided to go to G’s apartment which was kind of small but we didn’t have to be worried about being bothered there. It was around 10:30 p.m. when we decided to dose. Everyone except T and C had an eighth, T and C split an eighth between the two of them.
After putting down a small cap and a stem, I realize that the entire eighth just isn’t going down without something to masque the taste. Whether he did it to make me feel better or not, D decided that he needed to make a peanut butter and mushroom sandwich with me. Everyone else seemed to just put the shrooms down like they were chocolate. I’m assuming that the taste didn’t bother them because they knew exactly what was in store next, as I was the only first timer.
11:00 p.m. I start to feel the onset of the voyage but it is a little different than the good old acid come up I knew and loved dearly. My skin felt as if it was growing a light moss or mold. I didn’t really like this and I felt a little uncomfortable. I was trying to keep the thought of having a bad trip out of my mind and asked some of my friends for some reassurance. I was assured that I’d be fine with an eighth in me. So I sat on the couch and tried to relax, which is a little difficult since I didn’t smoke any weed which I always did on acid come ups to take my mind off of things.
11:30 p.m. As I’m sitting on the couch my mind takes it’s first step out of bounds into the realm of the unknown. I know I’m tripping but I’m a little disappointed at the lack of visuals so far and hope that I will be bombarded by them in a little bit. Since we dosed we have pretty much just been talking to each other with the T.V. on and then it comes. I opened my mouth and out came the first sentence in jibberish of the night. Everyone looks at for a couple seconds then laughter fills the room. I thought what I said strangely made sense at the time, but realizing a bit later what I actually said I had to laugh at myself. I wish I could remember what I said but I can’t, it made no sense at all, way out in left field.
11:45 p.m. Shortly after my jibberish, everyone decides it’s a good idea to fuck with me since it’s my first time. I mention to T, A, and D that my skin feels like something is growing off it, so T tells me that it’s all right because I have a tree growing on my back. Slightly annoyed because I knew damn well he was messing with me, I tell him I’m not that out of it yet. I couldn’t help the feeling after that though of something on my back, so I turned around trying to get a look at my back (yeah I know, turn to look at my back right, I really was that out if it!). So after about 4 360’s the room bursts into laughter again.
12:00 midnight. All wackyness breaks loose. Everyone starts breaking into random outbursts of words and phrases that made absolutely no sense whatsoever followed by immediate fits of laughter. Then T comes out of G’s bedroom, looks at me, smiles and greets me “When did you get here!” I was so confused and then A comes out of the bathroom and greets me in the same manner. I don’t know what is going on here. I’m talking with A and T comes out from the bedroom again in different clothes and welcomes me again to the apartment. I try to get it together but I’m lost in my own little world.
12:30 a.m. D it would be an excellent idea to go for a walk, J, A and I agree and head out. More wackyness ensues. I hope no one was out on there balcony because D, J and A were engaging in the random outbursts and laughter while I was hoping around with my hands hanging down and my back arched over like a gorilla making monkey noises. I have no idea what inspired such activity but I thought it was funny as hell and collapsed in the parking lot in a rage of laughter.
This is where you’re gonna have to bear with me, I have no idea about the following time frames but I will try to get them accurately.
About 12:45 a.m. D gets me up and tells me I have to keep it down a little cause we’re in the middle of the parking lot. With all traces of reality vanished from my mind I don’t even notice at the time that J and A are not there anymore. I look over across the street from G’s apartment complex and see a huge area where a development is going to be built. Nothing had been dug or anything, it was just a bunch of tree’s that had been cleared out and a bulldozer or two. I want to go over there! So D and I make our way over there.
Now D and I are big gamers and were at the time heavily into the beta testing of a multiplayer game called Battletech which was just a multiplayer Mechwarrior game. So as we make our way into this area my mind takes another leap through alternate reality’s. I feel as if I’m in a battle mech and I still can’t believe it to this day but out of nowhere D blurts out “Gforce, we have two enemy mechs across the field” (Gforce was my name on that game and D’s was Lonestar). Thinking nothing of the fact that our brains were tuned into the exact same thing at the exact same time, I’m all of sudden in the game and I see the 2 enemy mechs across the field. I say to D, “Lonestar, the 2 enemy mechs show on my radar as Javilin’s (a type of mech) we need to flank them before they use their jump jets. What ensued was the craziest moment in my life, D and I battled the 2 mechs, I took 3 laser shots to the right side and lost my 2 lasers on my mechs right side, D took out one of the enemy mechs legs and with the 2 lasers I had left I blasted it into oblivion. The other mech fled so Lonestar and I pursued.
About 1:30 a.m. In mid pursuit of the enemy mech, I blurt out some jibberish immediately followed by D doing the same thing, and we both fall to the ground in an uncontrollable fit of laughter. We continued with our pursuit of the mech after a little bit and kept on changing reality’s every 2 to 3 minutes, going from Battletech to pure wackyness.
About 2:00 a.m. The Battletech has pretty much subsided as we find sticks and are whacking away at bushes since we have reached the end of the development plot and are cluelessly walking into the woods now. The wacky outbursts and laughter are still ongoing. D and I find a fairly large tree stump lying on the ground and decide to have a seat for a bit. We finally start talking about how uncanny and weird it was that we were both thinking of Battletech at the same time and how when one of us was just about to get wacky, the other beat him by blurting out jibberish.
About 2:30 a.m. In the midst of our conversation we hear this semi high pitched animal noise from behind us. We look at each other and then look back behind us which is deeper into the woods. The noise is made again and I start freaking out. I get up from the log and ask D if he thinks we should head back. Before he can respond, the noise is made again and I fall to my knees in uncontrollable laughter. Then every time we heard the noise we would alternate between it freaking us out and then laughing at it the next time we heard it. Finally, it became blatantly clear that the noise was getting closer and closer and had to be but 10 feet away tops. I now know it was probably just some small animal, but it was too close to us for our state of mind at the time.
About 3:00 a.m. D and I have started back in the direction of G’s apartment. On our way back we hear our names being yelled in the distance and once again, back in Battletech mode! We make our way over to the side of the plot in hopes to flank these unknown shapes we see in the distance. Finally we come charging out to find A, J, and T out looking for us. We scared the living shit out of them and it took them a couple attempts to bring us out of Battletech mode. A, J, and T were laughing uncontrollably at us cause they had no idea what we were doing.
About 3:30 a.m. We all engage in crazy talk on the way back to G’s apartment. The crazy talk somehow makes me believe I’ve pissed myself. A assures me that I haven’t.
About 3:45 a.m. We get back to the apartment where we find everyone else laughing at us and asking us what the hell we were doing, OH MAN they should’ve been there!!!! Everyone is watching the movie KIDS. It is at the point in the movie where the guy with no legs comes out on that skateboard with the cup full of change singing, “I have no legs, ching ching, I have no legs, ching ching” If you’ve seen the movie you know what I’m talking about. That just about flipped me out.
The rest of the trip was much calmer as we all watched the movie and most of us fell asleep. I was still tripping and was lying on the couch contemplating a million things at once. I could tell I was coming down and by 4:45 all the effects had pretty much subsided.
All I have to say is that I absolutely LOVE LSD, but it’s never taken me on a journey like this night with shrooms! I will shrooming again with D very soon and I’m extremely anxious! Battletech never made it out of beta testing but we are now both hooked on a game called Everquest, which I’m sure some of you have heard of. All I can think is, Lord help me if these shrooms sweep me off into Norath, the realm of Everquest!
Thank you very much for reading my report, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoy reading everybody else’s! Mod’s, This is my first trip report and I am very sorry if I violated any of the guidelines. If I have, please bring it to my attention so I don’t repeat it in future posts.
