Setting: small tropical island in Lombok - Indonesia.
Dosage: A cup of tea containing 15 fresh mushrooms.
This might sound like a strong dose but we made sure by asking around, that a medium - strong dose of this type of mushies would be 20. It was the first time my mate tried this and I wanted us to have a light-medium experience, so we settled for 15 each. We had only had a light lunch during the day.

We are drinking the tea. The taste is far from pleasant but not too bad.Feeling a bit nervous, mainly because I do not know how my friend will
react.

Start to feel the effects. Coming up in i nice slow way. The body feels light and the colours get more distinct. Small rushes are running down my spine. The sun is setting and everything looks beautiful. I look at my mate and my worries disappear when I se his big smile. I have a quick look in the mirror and all I can see is just a big black pupil where you normally would see a fair bit or iris.
+45 min-1:hour:
We are sitting down at one of the restaurants trying to watch a movie. I do not remeber which movie they were showing but it did not take long before we start giggling and laughing hysterically. The other guys who were wathing the movie were not very happy and they made sure we understood that we should either shut up or leave the place. Since the first option was not possible we settled for the latter and went down to the beach to watch the sunset.
+1 hour-3 hours
I guess we are peaking at this point. We are lying at the beach and the moon is coming up. The sand feels very nice and the sky looks marvelous.
When I close my eyes, I have fairly intense visuals mainly consisting of beutiful patterns of various colours. We are both lying there in silence, listening to the waves feeling in love with nature. After a while I comment the look of one of the clouds and we start laughing like idiots again.
Around +4-5 hours
The effect starts wearing off. I have no comedown feelings except cramp in the stomach from all the laughter.
This was a very nice experience with what turned out to be a pretty light dose of magic mushrooms. My mate loved it and we have done it several times after that. Maybe we did not gain any deep knowledge or insight from this trip but we had great fun!
