Mushrooms -- High Dose -- From Hell to Heaven.

[riichiee]

Ok.. I'll just start off with a bit of background information: About 2 weeks ago me and my best mate L, picked a BIG box full of mushrooms.. that night we had about half the box in tea over the course of the night and it was nice.. but I've tripped harder off acid...
So anyway.. the next week we decide to do the other half in one shot.... and this is how it goes...
DOSE: 80g dried mushrooms. Boiled the shrooms then drank the tea.. which was about 2 cups each.
SETTING: L's Apartment. Young girl with baby from apartment number six is waiting for her boyfriend to get home because she's locked herself out.
TIME: 5.00pm. Drink two cups of mushroom tea.. Doesn't taste that bad.. sort of get used to it after the first couple of sips..
5:15. Feeling a little nervous.
5:30. Room goes all fucked up. All the angles are wrong and time is going REALLY REALLY slow.. There is color and swirls but I'm a bit too nervous to enjoy it. I lie down on the couch becuase I'm feeling sick and cold. L wraps himself up in a blanket..
5:35 Baby starts crying and the girl can't get it to stop.. By this time I'm getting closed eye visuals as well.. Not good ones though... At one point I can remember seeing some English Hooligan stick his finger up at me and tell me to fuck off..
5:40 Time has really slowed down now.. I go to the toilet.. fuck i'm tripping hard now.. EVERYTHING is swirling.. moving closer and further away.. after I finish pissing I realise that I don't know my way out of the toilet.. feel like crying.. go back into the living room and L is curled up in the fetal position.. he looks at me and he looks worried.. I mumble something like "It's kicking in now.." and he just looks the other way..
5:45 I put on OK Computer by radiohead.. lie down on the couch and just grab hold of the music to convince myself that time hasn't stopped...
6:00 Still just holding on to the music.. The closed eye visuals I'm getting are really wierd.. Images of deformity's of nature and other sickening images assualt my mind.. I still feel a bit sick and really cold.
6:05 Girl with baby leaves because her boyfriends got home.. She's hovering.. it looks funny.. I can't understand a fucking word she said.. Make me laugh... a little..
6:30 Not feeling as cold.
7:00 L utters his first words for a long time "gee's that was pretty intense for a while then wasn't it?".. I agree.. still lying down on couch listening to music..
7:30 Holy shit. The visuals are amazing. My mind is working in a completely different way.. Euphoria unlike I've ever felt before (and I've had some good pills and acid) races through my mind and body.. I'm just so happy to be alive and sane.. because only 90 mins ago.. I didn't think I'd get through it without losing one of them..
8:00 I am one.
9:00 Start to come down.. very easy.. I think about what I can do to make my life better.. to make the earth a better place..
11:00 I've come down now. Contemplating every aspect of my life and I am happy.
12:00 Drive home.
1:00 Asleep in bed..
Well... I didn't manage to capture every aspect of my trip.. but I think I did pretty well.. The Hell which was the come-up was the most evil place I've ever visited.... but Heaven (the middle part of the trip) man.... I'd like to go back there one day..
But If I have to walk through hell to get there again...*sighs.. *shakes head and smiles... I think I'll just have to prepare myself more next time..

doood i relate to your experience totally. I tripped really hard off 'shrooms too recently - see http://www.bluelight.ru/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000065.html?reload=15
for my trip report. I had a slower come up and a longer trip cause I ate almost an eighth, and ate 'em whole. My advice is to have a bunch of people around you on E so they are happy and you can pic up on the vibe. Try to have someone who will talk to you so you and get a grip on things before they go bad. I did all that and had a much more pleasant trip. The different level of thinking was awesome and I wanna go back there sometime cause I can't quite remember what I found there, all I know is that everyoe and everything felt so connected and I felt so "one with the universe" that it made me cry with joy. I was told that 'shrooms definitely bring out any hidden emotional things you may be repressing, but fortunately I know myself pretty well and so when those things came up I wasn't afraid to face them. At times the symphony of emotions and altered sensory overload almost overwhelmed me, but that's when I went to my friends and tried to describe things and that helped me so much to cope. I would never recommend doing something that powerful without having more people there to produce a powerful pleasant vibe. That was a smart move to turn on the music, when I couldn't communicate or understand people then the music was always there to help me hold on to things. Email me if you're in Socal and maybe we can arrange to meet and try 'em again together.
