Mushrooms - Experienced - WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?

I've tripped on mushrooms a number of times before, as well as 2C-I, acid, and dex, but I had never experienced anything even CLOSE to what I felt last Saturday. A friend of my bf gave us some mushroom chocolates he had made "special" with some added cannabutter; each contained about half an eighth of shrooms (i'm not sure what species). I have had some pretty good trips with a whole eighth before, but nothing *too* entirely crazy, so I wasn't expecting the trip to be anything too intense with only half that amount. My bf and I ate one chocolate each, and then went to his house to bum around and play video games.

I was feeling not entirely too impressed when all of a sudden, BAM! I was tripping my fucking (metaphorical :)) balls off! It was a mindfuck of unbelievable proportions. Most psychedelics definitely alter my state of mind, but the thoughts going on in my head were just insane, just completely different from anything I had experienced before. I had a complete loss of self, where at first I was really confused about who I was, and then I kept thinking that I *was* my boyfriend.... fuckin weird.... It was to the point where I thought so much that I was male that I couldn't bring myself to kiss him (we're normally very kissy and cuddly) because I was really confused why he would be attracted to a boy, especially someone who looked just like him...8( (he's not anti-gay or anything, he's just absolutely without a doubt straight, so I was very confuzzled.) I had to keep looking at myself in the bathroom mirror to remember what I looked like and who I was.

I was so confused and anxious (even terrified) that after awhile I had to go sit outside on the front porch to try to sort things out, not that I could. I sat outside for what felt like hours, but was actually 10 minutes, just trying and trying to figure out who the hell I was and what the fuck was going on. I didn't really get anywhere with that.... It was especially odd because I still had a "normal" stream of consciousness going on in my head mixed up with the "insane" one. I kept reminding myself that in not too long I would be sober again, and that I was in fact myself, but right away after I would think it, I would become confused again. It was like my "normal" consciousness was trying to push its way through my altered one, but the altered train of thought was just beating it down every time it surfaced.

After about an hour of this, an absolute ETERNITY to me, I started coming down a bit, at least enough to calm myself down and re-objectify my situation. After the ridiculously insane peak, the rest of the trip was really quite enjoyable, just like any other trip. I was very relaxed and it was fun to watch the posters on the wall melting and shifting around. I played some Final Fantasy X (the best game in existence!!! even better while tripping! :)) and ate some munchies and talked with my boyfriend and the other people that had come over.

The rest of the evening was really pretty much normal. (as normal as a shroom trip can be anyhow...) I bummed around and took some bong hits and watched another friend eat one of the same chocolates i had taken... that was, needless to say, interesting. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I'm certainly going to be a bit more cautious with my next shroom trip... That's not to say that this trip wasn't productive, it was incredibly enlightening in terms of seeing some of my inner, hidden fears and really, really analyzing myself in the most objective way possible. When you think you're someone else you can really see all your own flaws. :) It's just that the experience was so intense it's probably not something that should be repeated with any frequency. Anyone have anything to say about this weirdness? I'd appreciate any comments that anyone wants to leave. :)

I'm not sure why you can't read this just the same as pages of a book (i don't have any problems with that....), but all right... :)
 
Nice report :)

I think i'm going to try eating some cannabis and mushrooms sometime, eating alot of cannabis on its own can be quite trippy as it is, i'd love to see it with mushrooms.
 
Each half of your brain is an independently thinking organ and from what you wrote it sounds like each half had a very different experience.
I may be mistaken but it's worth pondering for a bit if nothing else :)
You may find this interesting:

Interesting link. I have been thinking lately, about how to go about, experiencing 'both' sides, at the same time, or sort of separating them. I've heard of people experiencing this while tripping, I may have done some strange things (like cover one eye with a red lens/other eye blue, maybe switch them after, other wierd things) and did experience strange things, although I haven't mentally been able to 'separate' them totally.

Although, especially the first few times, and if i get the right dose, when I smoke 5-meo-dmt, I described it has "shutting off my left brain", as people talking sounded total gibberish (the same as listening to people speak a foreign language, even sounds like they are 'talking fast'), the internal dialogue shut off, yet, I felt just fine and peaceful and I could observe body language like never before!! Also, I could dance like.. i've never danced before. During this state, or right after it starts to 'wear off', i have an incredible ability to multi-task. I think usually me dancing, that logical part wants to take over, causing silly coordination problems, too much conscious focus on one thing, and not just 'letting it go by itself'. I wonder what 5-meo-dmt does to do this, as I find the only other thing that is so great at making 'language' meaningless, is mushrooms (4-HO-DMT, must be that damn DMT part!). To be able to hear this gibberish, look at some paper with words and you only see the lines and stuff with no 'meaning' put on it, and get up and dance.. one hand/arm doing this and that to whatever beat, other hand doing something totally different and independent, same for each leg...head..everything. I would like to learn how to control this more in a sober state.. meditation maybe, practice..

But I always wondered what it would feel like to experience both sides separate, like the only communication between them would be, maybe the sound each side hears, and the overlapping visual image from the eyes/etc. I "think" i might have slightly experienced it recently, where I was talking and it seemed like one half of my lip was moving more independent of the other half, and then sound from each ear sounded..ahh..how can ya describe it.. :)
 
The easiest way I've found to experience it is through thinking about it. As with most processes within the brain, the more you think about it the more aware of it you become. Just try to notice subtle changes in your perception of your brain when you go from one activity to another. I find it's especially apparent when one starts moving after a period of inactivity.
 
Very interesting ideas :) SOunds like an interesting trip. I'm glad you got out of it ok :)
 
Nice trip report. Good thread. It would have been for you to have a trip sitter to bounce your thoughts off, perhaps even someone to tell you that it didn't matter... You would be ok, you would be taken care of. Then you could let go into the experience. Thats the hardest part in times of anxiety, just letting go.

In regards to the experiencing the left and right side of the brain seperately. There are a few meditation techniques you can use. Try counting 1-10. Then Try drawing an arbitrary number in your mind. Various switching techniques mixed with detatched observation would work well I believe.


All the best. :)
 
i have studied a bit of "bicameral" thinking. We covered it pretty extensively in the psychology course i'm taking right now. I do think what happened has a lot to do with that. I tend to be very left-brained, and I do find that I can really keep control of my brain even while under the influence of very strong chemicals by "activating" the left side. And i can really just get retarded by letting go and not trying to "think logically/use the left side" and just letting my brain zone out. It's an interesting theory that could be very promising in terms of mental health issues. In the mean time, i will just enjoy my mind-altering experiences for what they're worth :D i always find shrooms to be fairly enlightening...
 
finally someone else who has tried the hash + shroom combo. Can't say I ever got such insane effects as that from it, usually just a more warpy body buzzin trip. Awesome physicals and high dose of hash oil does increase the visuals quite nicely.

Top stuff

Peace Out
 
I actually had a trip that was a lot like this on Saturday. It was with chocolates too. My trip ended kind of abruptly though...Like one minute I was mad crazy tripping and the next I was fairly sober....It was kinda weird:\
 
Only 2 brains?

It was interesting to read this thread, just days after posting a shroom experience where (for the first time), I felt like I had 3 different points of view simultaneously, and it was VERY disconcerting, at least at first.
 
Not sure where ya from, but here in Australia our mushrooms are about 3 times as potent as the cubenis mushies most ppl in the US take. 3.5g is quite a large dose of our mushies. Standard dose is 0.5-1.5g. Needless to say, many Melbourne mushie takers have had very intense trips. Maybe the chocs contained a strain similar to those we get here.
 
ecaep: it could be. I got the mushroom from a guy that "has the hookup." Anything and everything he gets/makes is TOP quality.

Brewgrass: I know exactly what you mean. After I had settled into the fact that I was just gonna have to "be two people at the same time" for a while, it was really pretty interesting. It was really fucking scary at first though.
 
Interesting report! This combo sounds nice, as I've heard by others that an oral cannabis experience can be a bit like a low dose of mushrooms, and with mushrooms added, what can be more mushroom-like! :p

Anyway, about the left and right sides thing, I get this quite a lot, and one time I thought I was 3 different simultaneous minds and/or beings. I also have a simular theme to my trips, when I trip, my left side of me appears to be this confused, but smart and creative being, and the right side of me is this rigid but conformist and evil being. Both sides seem to be influences, and not control or over-take me. Just insight and stuff that needs to be filtered.. :p

Interesting to know my left and right theme doesn't match up scientifically to left and right brain functions, or maybe I am just special. :)
