My Trip! =D


Substance: Mushrooms, not sure the name of the strain. The cap was brown and the stem was grayish and white with blue in some places. I took 3.5g, all of it was from one big shroom. Most of what I ate was from the stem but I had some of the cap too.

Setting: I did it last Friday night, with one of my best friends, in her apartment. She is pretty experienced with shrooms, having done them maybe 6-7 times, so it made me feel really good going into it that I’d be with her. We just decided to stay inside the whole time since our apartment complex was filled with drunk people and I wasn’t sure how I could handle being around them my first time tripping.

Experience: So around 1:00am (technically Sat. morning) is when we first started eating the shrooms. We made mushroom-Nutella sandwiches, which weren’t bad tasting at all but just really hard to eat. I get done with mine around 1:10 and so we start watching the new Alice in Wonderland online. I’m just sitting there for about 20 min, really anxious just waiting to feel something, so I took a few bong rips to chill out.

I’d say around T+ 45min is when I started to feel a body high, which I can tell is obviously from the shrooms and not the weed. The whole trip creeped on me pretty subtly, but I could definitely start to feel when it was coming. My arms and legs started feeling really heavy and awkward, and I noticed the floor seemed oddly low, like I was sitting in a sinking cave. I was smoking cigarettes like mad and every time I lit one my hand just felt so weird and foreign to use.

The first really weird thing that happened was with this green strobe light type thing that we had projected on the ceiling. I kept looking up at the green dots moving, and I sat there trying to figure out the pattern of the dots and making analogies with it to the universe. There was one green dot in the center that didn’t move, that the other lights appeared to “orbit” around, and I started calling it the “Mom”. I stared at this light and talked about it to my friend for a good half an hour, convinced I was connecting the dots (pun intended ;) ) to all of life… really weird philosophical shit that I didn’t expect to be thinking about on shrooms.

So after while I get up to go to the bathroom, and that’s when I realize that the floor is uneven. The corners of the room are sinking and other parts of the room are raising. It was so weird, I just walked around and rubbed my bare feet on the carpet, trying to make sense of it. I was still very collected, but all my senses felt like the floor was truly like a bunch of little hills. My friend was just geeking out at me and I started laughing too when I realized how fucking crazy I was starting to feel. I texted one of my other good friends, and trying to use my phone felt so unreal, like I was playing a video game or something. The words looked concave into the screen, and when I watched my fingers pressing the keys they looked like robot hands cracking a secret code or something... so weird.

After I made it to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and it was so fucking weird seeing myself on shrooms. My pupils were enormous, my face was white as a sheet, and I just looked like a crazy person. I didn’t let it freak me out, I just stared at my friend’s butterfly shower curtain and chilled out and peed. When I came out of the bathroom, I start walking down the hallway and I see my friend standing there, and that’s when I noticed her eyes… she looked like a bug, or an alien or something, her pupils were so big that I couldn’t even see her iris… something about seeing her tripping just freaked me out a little bit. I started laughing and geeking out, but I was still kinda scared at the same time. I asked her if I could give her a hug because she looked so scary, and she gave me a hug and talked to me for a minute til I calmed down.

After that we spent most of the rest of the time in her room. My friend’s bedroom is AMAZING for tripping… lava lamps, colored light bulbs, posters, tapestries, all this great eye candy to look at. We just moved back and forth between her couch and her bed, eyes wide and mouths open, staring around the room. I felt like a little kid in a candy store, just absolutely awed about everything. This part of the trip was by far my favorite. I was so happy and just wanted to absorb everything I could. I really cannot describe how amazing I felt for hours, just sitting in this room, contemplating everything and just gazing into lights and listening to 311. We spent a good while watching a lava lamp and then I suddenly noticed a red light across the room and I started talking to it...that was fucking hilarious. There was a huge sunflower taperstry on the ceiling, and the flowers kept feeling like they were growing and sinking closer to me. The whole tapestry was "breathing" against the ceiling, and it looked so fucking cool. I remember asking my friend “Why don’t people want to feel like this all the time?” and I genuinely meant it. Everything looked so incredible, and the floor was still wigging out on me which was fun.

At one point I took a few more bong rips, but I actually didn’t really like it… right after I smoked I started getting into some pretty heavy thoughts, so I just distracted myself by talking to my friend and I decided not to smoke anymore until I started coming down from the trip. Luckily I have a high tolerance and a few bong rips didn’t really keep me high for longer than about 30 min. I’m not sure why it had that affect on me, but I was fine to just experience the trip without smoking anymore.

So we’re still sitting in the bedroom, when around T + 4hr. 40 min, we hear loud knocks at the front door and the doorbell ringing over and over again. Obviously it freaked me out at first because it was so late and my friend and I had told everyone we knew around the complex not to bother us tonight. My friend stayed really calm about it and went up to answer the door, because whoever was there wasn’t leaving and they kept ringing the doorbell. Curiosity got the best of me and I followed her. She opened the door, and it was our neighbor, drunk as fuck. He tried to come in, and my friend had to literally jam her foot in the door to keep him out. I wouldn’t say I got too freaked out, but I just felt odd to see someone in such a different state of mind than I was in. I just remember looking at him, his arms were holding onto the door frame and they looked like giant trees and he looked absolutely enormous. For some reason I decided to yell out the door, “I’m tripping balls and your arms are growing people!” and that’s when my friend had to shut him out.

I’m not sure if that whole situation was the direct reason for this, but after we returned to my friend’s room, I could feel the trip starting to wear off. I was disappointed, because I was having an amazing time but I had just expected it to last longer. My friend was obviously still tripping pretty hard while I was tapering down (we both took 3.5g, but she had more of the cap than I did, I'm not sure if that's why?), but we were both in pretty good control of ourselves the whole time. We just sat on her bed, eating Starbursts and geeking out about random shit until around 9am when I finally was so exhausted that I had to go to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overall, the experience was AMAZING. There are sooooo many details that I wish I could include, but I simply don’t have the capability to put into words how I felt. I don’t have any other trips to compare this to, but my friend described it as a “buffet”, with a little bit of everything. We geeked out, we had visuals, we thought about really deep shit… it was just incredible on all levels, both mentally and physically. Like I said, I felt pretty in check for most of the trip, but my friend assured me that not all trips are that easily controlled. I’m glad for my first time that I didn’t have a super powerful batch, but it was definitely still an intense experience.

I CAN’T WAIT TO DO IT AGAINNNN!!!! :D :D

Great TR :)

I'm so glad you finally got to experience the wonder! It does get quite philisophical...for people who are used to drinking/smoking/etc, tripping is completely going in the other direction; less "messed up" and more "opened up." Aside from the motor skills being handicapped, you really do feel smarter and more in-tune on psyches. It's kinda dangerous, sure, on the mind. But this is great that you were able to avoid any large negativities on your first trip and got to have a lot of fun! Feeling like a kid again, albeit a smart kid, is a very special feeling <3

Quite happy for you. Seriously TD, this is the best stuff in life :) Welcome to the privy!
 
RL, I disagree that motor functions are diminished. I have juggle on psychs many times, and my level of skill usually skyrockets to unimaginable.

Describing it as being a very smart kid is spot on. I'm so playful and giddy on shrooms. I also seem to attract the opposite sex very easily on shrooms. Good stuff. Lol

I think it's dose-dependent (and to an extent substance-dependent). As well, given that I have a higher physucal sensitivity to TiHKAL-drugs, my motor functions tend to take a blow. If you remember my report on 4-AcO-DET last month, I took a physical beating on what others describe as a largely non-phsical tryptamine.

On (+/++) I agree with you. But get me past (++) and there's disharmony between the mind and the body.

:D I seem to be attracted to myself on them! I'll catch myself looking in the mirror with quite positive esteem, when otherwise it's a mixed bag. But I know what you mean. Psyches are sexy ;)
 
Holy shit! You finally got to do these !?? I am delighted. Tl/DR for now but I'll read it later or tomorrow.
 
Wow. I am hoping to have my first trip on shrooms either this weekend or in the next few weeks. If mine is anywhere near what yours was, I will be extremely happy. :)
 
I don't recommend smoking during the trip. But to each his own.

4+ hours on 3.5 grams is a pretty good deal. Sounds like you had a decent batch.
 
Woohooo so pleased to hear you had a great time on these wonderful things Thaidie!! They sure can be a wonderful experience when taken with care.

Always remember - if you respect psychedelics, they will respect you. <3
 
Sometimes I wonder how many grams of this stuff I would have to eat to get taken to the highest levels.

I have never thought I was anyone or anything else. I have never seen things that don't exist; but rather, distortions of things that do exist.

Don't get me wrong, I've had many awesome experiences....

But when I hear people say things like "I was a snake or "I had an hour long conversation with the toothbrush" or "green elves started walking around the room" ......
 
I am on shrooms for my first time right now. I am almost two hours in. I'm alone, watching Robin Williams special on HBO and coloring a mandala. I took a light dose since this is my first time, but so far, I feel great. My head feels kinda strange though. Robin looks funny, I'm laughing more at the way he looks than his jokes. My markers keep going dry so my mandala looks sort of "distressed" which I am actually fine with. I'm thinking about putting some sticky shiny things from my scrapbooking stash on there when I'm done. That would look so tight.
 
If all goes well in the next coming weeks, I will be doing an illicit drug for the first time in more than 9 years and that drug will be mushrooms. I did them once before and had a great experience. hopefully it will be even better than the first time this go. :)
