Mushrooms - semi exp - underestimated, ego loss, bad trip

[Computer_collector]

I really underestimated the master shrooms, ego loss, bad trip

ok just measured it out, I took 74g give or take a gram. This included plenty of aborts too.

3:05 am begin eating

3:20 am finished eating

3:30 am my pupils are dilated, stomach full. I feel stoned and tired now. trip begging already

3:40 am started getting visuals and body load rapidly escaltes.

4:00 am I am feeling tired and numb and can no longer watch my goldfish also its hitting me so hard I am supprised, I head upstairs and lay down on my bed to become comfortable

4:30 I think I begin to peak from there

9:30 after 5 hours of ego loss and bad trip I suddenly snap out of it and my ego is back and everything looks normal save for shroom enhanced 20/15 vision this was the only positive part and the ending of my trip.

There was still some slight breathing of the ceiling and floor. I looked outside and my god everything was all totally 3-d and there was so much details, the bark of the trees was so sharp and outlined, every leaf stood out very sharp, its just amazing I tell you. colors and contrast was just superb. grass and leaves were very dark and green, I could see every individual blade of grass even far in the distance. Hawks can see much better than this still and I can only wonder what itll look like from a hawk's eyes.

Anyway dont go thru what I did just so you can get supervision for an hour. Thank you guys for the warning, you were right I was in for one heck of an experience, even though its negetive it made me a better person and gained me respect for the shrooms power and magic. I feel I am not ready for them for a very long time, perhaps forever. Admire them from a distance.

My memory is quite foggy in the 5 hours of egolessness. I do remember my close eyed visuals were very interesting, I saw all sorts of 3-d colors and patterns, like red squares with smiley faces rolling past me. I was transported to a krazy karnival and saw wacky mirrors, clowns and other strange conceptions. My memory is vauge from there on, I tried to see the clock, the numbers looked all wrong and lopsided. If I had to guess I think it was a little after 5am.

My breathing and pulse was rapid and shallow, but I am very good at relaxing so I just took deep breaths and just let the trip ride itself out. My body was broken into pieces, twisted like a knot, scattered over my bed. I could see with my eyes closed for several seconds. I remember one part where I felt huge and could touch the ceiling. I remember turning and tossing in bed and sweating. my body and hands were tingling and numb. I also remember I felt stuck in an infiniate time loop, my thoughts repeated itself and I thought id be the egoless exisance forever. Strangely I wasnt afraid, just not liking this at all and just wanted it to end which it did exactly 6 hours later, around 9:30am.

Sorry for being so vauge, but I can tell you I am done with shrooms, this experience has been most unpleasent. all I could do was stay calm, breath deep, not panic and let the trip ride itself out. I am totally supprised such a low dose of 74g really kicked my ass, I have done 120g last time and didnt trip nearly as hard. Ive done 70-100g several times and it was nowhere near this strong nor bad. Those must have been weak shrooms I guess. That must be one potent batch, oh extremely potent. I now have the experience to tell you that if your 70+ grams of shrooms are any good, your in for a ride!

I remember one part of the trip where everything was broken up into colors and numbers and I imagined myself as a computer or calculator doing math. When your ego is loss it feels like things cease being what they are and instead exist as just colors and numbers.

I just wanted to thank you master shrooms for teaching me the experience over the 15 times or so that I have done you. You sure taught me a lesson for underestimating you and laughting at how low dose 74 grams was, you sure showed me the meaning of a powerful trip, to end with a bang. Respect the shrooms, take them seriously and realize some people may not be good at coping with the trip I had and they panic, hurting themselves or getting the ambulance involved. Sure some get lucky and have a fun, positive experience but my last few trips were just negetive and I ended up wishing it was over.

If you have any doubts about shrooms, just thank their wisdom and experience and leave em! I wont tell people not to do shrooms, but realize bad trips are very possible, esp on large dosages. Drugs arent for me and if any others were offered id decline, heck id even decline lsd now, dont want its own hosts of problems and bad trips and it messing with my mind. Time for me to focus on natural highs like looking at my goldfish oh so pretty in the morning and smiling, time to concentrate on the possibility of getting a full figured girlfriend and enjoying my cuddles. If you have any questions, go ahead.

Re: I really underestimated the master shrooms, ego loss, bad trip

I like to think that if you need another mushroom trip after a bad / ego loss experience, you'll know intuitively, and there will be no "maybe" or "perhaps" about it.

I'm just going to edit teh title a bit

Mushrooms are very powerful, and I underestimated them until a heavy 7 gram trip. I only use them very rarely (about once a year) and each time I know I am in for a very long and profound trip. I'm sure that one day you will return to the mushrooms, and with your newfound respect you will be able to hear it's teachings.

 

[psychetool]

I had a trip like this on 12g dried mush that ended with writing messages to future self about varied subjects (life, school, friends) that was all gibberish.

After I had the courage to get back on the horse the trips I'v had afterwords have been signifigently more meaningful at lower doses. High doses should only be attempted once you get a steady handle on the mushroom. (years of use and training your mind to accept the energy/trip )

I think that the really high doses are left for shamens only, most people could not integrate or enjoy that level of intoxication.

A nice 4-6 grams is the perfect level for me. Redosing with another 2-3 grams six hours into the trip is also a nice way to extend the expirience and intensify quite a bit.

Take care brother, be respectful of the mushroom.

you know what? I was thinking the same thing on taking a low dosage and totally agree. Shrooms do have a mind of their own, they can tell when you laugh and downplay them. I was downplaying the fact that 70+ grams is a low dosage and ill just trip a bit like I have in the past. The shrooms just smiled at me and taught me a good lesson that night, O boy ill never underestimate them again. They sure sent me a good messenge that they should be taken seriously and with the right mindset which I didnt have. Everything became all weird and nonsense to me, I was having thoughts that made no sense, also my body load was huge all I could do was lay in bed and relax which I was good at. I will stick with lower dosages from now on for a loooooooong time till I gain experience and have the right mindset so I can properly handle egoloss trips and make them out to be positive. would you guys say 40 wet grams would be the limit? also wont taking another 20g when the trip is ending do nothing since you have built tolerance

I did the exact same thing the first time I did LSD, I had no idea what was going on and came to the conclusion that there were two aspects to my psyche. the real me, and the me on acid.

I personally have found that after my first heavy mushroom trip I can't have a light trip from mushrooms anymore. I took less than half an eighth once, and was still tripping VERY hard. I was expecting very little from it, and so it was not enjoyable in the least.

 

[Computer_collector]

my god, I guess its true that once you trip balls, lose your ego your shroom tolerance drops to rock bottom. I have done 120g once like I said but the 74g trip was more intense still. maybe try 2 dry grams or less?

 

[TheMMT]

I have to assume that these were freshly picked mushrooms, and not dried ones.

I've usually found 3.5 grams of dried mushrooms QUITE sufficient.

I really think it depends on the strain of mushrooms you used. I've done VERY low doses of shrooms, less than a quarter gram and tripped on Hawiian mushrooms, and have taken up to 3 grams at once of some strain that was going around once. It all depends on the type. The best thing to do is start low, and dose up as you go until you learn what amount of mushrooms is enjoyable to you.

I also had to go through a simular experience to gain respect for the mushroom. I did ounces and ounces fresh and then ate lots of dried ones. Had an insanely intense experience, but the most intense trip was on three little mushrooms fresh, and 1/3rd of a joint, if that. Now I know how they can kick your ass when they need to, to show you they arent just a silly little game to entertain your senses.

 

[count chocula]

this sort of reminds me of my first mush trip. i completely underestimated it as all i had done before was MDMA a few times plus the usual Pot and Alcohol. i did 3.5 dried grams, and about an hour later was experiencing ego death (havnt got there again since). needless to say, this made me extremely frightened at the time (i had no clue what ego death was, so forgetting my own name, where i was etc was hard for me to handle, and i tried to fight it). i was scared away from the shrooms for quite a while after that, and they remain my least favorite psychedelic drug to this day, but have had very introspective/enlightening trips on the since.

 

[meowmix]

I had an experience like this once. It was awful. Couldn't speak or understand words, etc.

I tried mushrooms twice after this and both times I was scared that I would be scared again.

Yuck. Never ever again. I wish it was this easy to say never to cocaine.

I'm thinking we should do a focus on bad/shattering mushroom trips, they're just damn informative and eye raising

 

[nzp]

yea, and kinda off putting
i was looking hellish forward to my first shroom trip, and was all positive, but now i hear alot of ppl had bad trips, but im assuming its cause it was a high dose..

No kidding....i would probably talk about the one i had when i was alone in the mountains of Colorado, staying in the tent that i lived in,at night, and just staring out at the scrubby trees and rocks and all, it was like i was on the moon or something...and alone at night is no good.
