Well, it began a few days ago when I collected 117g of fresh p. cubensis. I dried them over a day, then I ground them in a coffee grinder and ended up with 13g of a nice powder, perfect for what we needed.
I enlisted my good friend and trip buddy, who I will call J, his wife, called G, and another good friend called M. We prepared for the evening to start at 8:20pm.
This was my 5th session, it was J's 3rd session, and G and M, the first time for them. Me and J measured out 4 grams each for us, 3 grams for M, and 2 grams for the lady G. All three of the others put their powder into glasses and mixed with OJ, slammed it down. I ate most of my 4 grams on a peanut butter sandwich, and the rest of it in a small glass of OJ. We ALL took a Zofran to help combat any nausea. I had not eaten since 12:30, the rest had not eaten since about 2:00pm.
After consuming the treats, we all sat in the living room and chatted while the power began to spread through our minds and bodies...at T+30, J was already getting wrapped into the throes of a deep mush trip. G and M both had some nausea at this point, G worked it through by smoking some good pot, and M had to finally go at T+45 and purge himself, although by then he had enough into his system and was tripping pretty nicely. I had not an inkling of nausea nor did J.
At T+1 hour, I was still not feeling like I had taken 4 grams, maybe the bread and peanut butter slowed the process, and in the interest of helping M to join the fray (he was still a bit sick) we turned off the music, which wasn't really working the way we had hoped, and popped "The Animatrix" into the dvd player. M joined us again in the living room and by focusing on a movie, began to turn his trip around to the good side. By the end of the first part (there are 9 parts to it), which was about T+1:25, I began tripping very hard!!! NOW I was feeling the power of a 4g session!!! It grabbed me very strongly and the room became 2 dimensional most of the time, if I closed my eyes I was "feeling" colors, I could get the distinct impression that the color behind my mind was becoming me, and I becoming color. I shifted from feeling green, to blue, not sure what to make of that :crazy: The CEV's became so vivid and intricate, I was seeing gridlike structures and highly detailed, very brightly colored organic patterns that seemed like a Mayan relief in high macroscopic detail.
With open eyes the entire room would shift, sway, and flow/melt parts into each other. The headspace was deeeeeeeeeeep, and I was struggling a bit to find my rythym and focus with this trip. I was not uncomfortable per say, but I was a bit confused, and felt a little paranoid. By the time T+2 was here, I was immersed into a level 4, and was thinking my life was a sham, that the job, the family, and life in general wasn't worth the trouble.
No, I was not considering suicide or killing anyone, I am stronger than that, and I wrestled with my inner demons, telling myself it was just the mushrooms and I had to find a focus to something happy. I started really trying to get into the Animatrix, and it started working. I felt like I was LIVING the story they were telling, and got very immersed. The visuals were simply madness, I could not tell what parts of the movie were meant to look that trippy, and what parts were my own mind playing tricks on me. But I was enjoying it. G was having a great time at this point, getting over her nausea, and flipping a bit on the movie. She would repeat something from the movie at times, and I would hear it as an echo or from another direction, the auditory hallucinations got kind of strong, and sounds seemed to come from nowhere, and everywhere.
J was having a bit of a rough time still, not sick, but the level 4 trip had him a bit confused as just to what the fuck exactly, was going on. I think he expected a more intellectual trip, and this one had grabbed us by the balls and twisted hard. The look on his face at times said it all, which was simply, "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING". M had it going on pretty good and also was totally immersed into the Animatrix, haha, I guess the Matrix had us at this point. :crazy2: The movie, which is only like 2 hours maybe, seemed like a lifetime, there seemed to be no time markers, no beginning, no end, just the movie, and the tripping. The final part of the movie is highly hallucinogenic oriented, and was simply incredible, the bright flowing colors and sounds were overwhelming and powerful. After finishing it, I was still very deep into my trip (now being T+2:45 hours) and we talked a bit, laughed alot, and all of us except J were pretty much on a level keel, if you can call eating cubes level. So, the next big idea, was to watch "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" which was supposed to be pretty funny.
The first 5 minutes of the movie has us laughing and cackling like hyenas, I was crying from laughing so hard, and had to get up and move into the kitchen a bit to break the cycle. Then I would crawl back into my chair and get back into the movie. The visuals were still mad, faces and skin flowing and seemingly like there was something under the surface, moving and stretching the outer skin. I took a piss break and was entranced by the mirror, I did not recognize myself much, and watching my own skin crawl and morph was an experience unto itself!!! About halfway through this movie, J started getting in tune and losing some of his confusion. All of us were feeling pretty good now at T+4 and as the movie ended, we took some passes of the good old smoking device and the bud added a nice smooth sheen to the tail end of the trip, while still reactivating some mild open eye tracers and visuals. We chatted and laughed about the events, and tried to make some sense of it. Kind of hard to do, and we awill all spend a few days integrating this.
For myself, I felt I did well, I gave up my original plan on HOW I was going to trip, and just let the flow of it take me wherever it wanted, and watching movies was it! I never suspected I would spend a level 4 mushroom trip watching movies for 4 hours :tongue: but I got something positive out of it and was glad for the experience. I have learned new respect for the mushroom, as did my buddy J. His wife, G, and our other friend M, plan on trying these wonderful teachers again, so at least they did not get scared away.
My buddy J is writing his trip report as well and will post it as a contrast to this one....
p.s.-I drank several glasses of water at 2:15am, smoked a couple bowls, and laid down with my music in my headphones, and drifted off to a blissful and deep sleep until 10am this morning....and I feel GREAT today....:thumbup: Freshly ego stripped and ready to take on the work week.
