The first time I had ever done shrooms was years ago when I was still in High School. A friend and I had set out on a journey to find some Cubies, and boy we succeeded. We had about an entire plastic grocery bag halfway full of fresh mushies when we were done. I didn't really feel anything at all from the 15 caps that I ate. Maybe I didn't eat enough or maybe it was my mindset, I won't ever know.

The second time was about a year later and I had bought of bunch of dried cubies from a guy I met. I had eaten them and about an hour later while in my room they started to kick in. When I looked outside it was very wavy, like when you get off of a lawnmower or bike and the ground looks like it's moving inward. Everything just looked really odd during this trip, but nothing very spectacular happened.

This third trip I had was with Amanita Muscaria's. It is by far the most intense and complex experience that I've ever had, but I'll try my best to describe it for you.

It was on New Years Eve and I thought it'd be a great night for shrooms with all the fireworks going on. I had planned to share with a couple friends but they ended up bailing on me, so i was tripping alone but still with people I know. At around 4:00 pm I had just eaten two caps to see if I could feel any effects from a very small dose. I waited patiently just watching videos on the computer for about two hours, but I felt nothing.

At about 6:30 pm a friend and I had left to go get some burgers because I had heard that these shrooms expand when they hit the stomach, so I wanted to have some food in there incase of vomiting. I ate a small cheeseburger and then went to a bonfire/party. When we got there is when I started to eat the shrooms. I had an ounce of shrooms and I ate about half of them. They didn't taste too great but I managed to slide them across the side of my mouth where my tongue wouldn't touch it, and then I wash them down with water.

After eating all of them I felt really full and couldn't eat any more. We walked back down to the bonfire and just sat and talked. I suppose about thirty minutes went by before I started to notice the first effects.

I was just sitting down and then a random image just popped in my sight for a half second and went away. It was so quick that I didn't really think anything of it until it happened again a minute later. It's like going blind for that split second but having some sort of other vision in your mind. What I saw was the exact place I was at but in another perspective, like I was standing behind myself in another body. It just happened so quick that I couldn't get a good memory of it.

After awhile it seemed to be getting more intense, faster and faster. I then decided that we should just leave and go somewheres else. It got so bad while walking back to the car that I couldn't drive so I had my keys to a friend I was with.

From this point on is when I started to forget things. We started to head to a buddy's house and I was trying to turn my mp3 player on, but I just couldn't figure out how. It was like I had been degraded to a level of a dumb beast. It was very hard to concentrate on anything at this point. My thoughts were intertwined with my vision and it was like a flipbook. All I could see were these random thoughts as images repeating over and over in a loop. Eventually I got myself so deep into the loop I had forgotten everything. I was uncontrollably saying things that made no sense. I do recall saying "I need to go home" over and over but also knowing in my sub-conscious that I do not want to go there...for some reason I couldn't control what I did or said. The mushrooms had taken me over and I was their puppet.

When we got to the house I had trouble taking my seatbelt off. I didn't understand how they worked or what it even was. All I knew is that something was constraining me in the seat and I needed to get out. After focusing on it for about five minutes I was able to undo the belt and get out. I don't remember anything of the house after walking in, but the people I were with said I was just walking around talking to the walls. What I do remember after this was the first bad loop. I can't really explain it in words so I'll try to draw a diagram to help.

Ok, these loops were made of random images in a sequence that repeated itself constantly. Imagine that there were about 10 image slots in each loop, like below:

| | | | | | | | | | |

Now the loops start off slow, only having a couple images at first. In the empty slots is when you actually are able to see out of your eyes. Example here: (X = Image)

|x| | | | |x| | | | |

It slowly increases, taking control over your vision and thought:

|x||x||x| |x||x||x| |x||x|

Eventually the entire loops gets full and you're stuck in it. It goes round and round for what I thought was an eternity. I really thought that I had been in these loops for billions of years and was on the verge on finding some sort of answer to life. Each time the loop went around, it would slowly increase speed and knock one image off of the cycle. Once the loops got to only one image left another one started, and I was stuck in it again. This process went on all night.

I only remember one of the images that i saw really well. It looked like a purple/plasma ball, similar to a sun. The background was very psychedelic and everything was moving. That's all I know of that.

The next thing I know, we are just showing up at another party. It seemed like I had fast forwarded through time to get there. I knew many of the people there but I couldn't recognize them or think of their names. The people I were with just told me to follow them, so I did. We ended up hanging out near a pool in the backyard. Again, I was stuck in one of those loops at this time so I don't remember much.

For some reason, I had the feeling that I needed to jump into the pool. When I looked in it I didn't see water. Instead I saw rows and columns of upside down humans and I thought I was supposed to step on the first one, feet to feet, and follow down the line.

In the pool I went. All I remember was the cold rush of the water and saying "Holy Fuck It's Cold". I was told that I came out of the water asking if I was god and some other crazy shit.

I blacked out again and got sent into another loop, waking up in what I saw as a huge treehouse/casino area but was really the living room of the guys house that I was with. I woke up holding a blanket in my left hand waving it up and down. I don't know why I was doing this but I didn't really have any control over it. I remember walking into several other rooms of the house and just standing there. It was like I was in a deep dream but I knew where I was at the same time. I don't know how long I was walking around in what I thought was 'a tree house' but it was a good while. I tried going to sleep but I'm not sure if I ever went to sleep or not.

When I got back up I was still a little wet but felt very refreshed. I wasn't tired, sick, or deprived at all. It was the best I had felt in a long time.

I really doubt I'll ever take that many Amanita's again but it was a very intense trip. For anyone considering taking that many just make sure you have a trip sitter with you, and stay away from swimming pools.

I think you should be doing your psycedelics in a safer eviroment. I don't know if you are experienced, but I have always thought that you should do psychedelics with people you know well and trust 100%. The parties i go to, aren't just full of people I truly trust. The mindset is also important.

From what I have read, Amanita Muscaria is not the kind mushroom that's pretty enjoyable. Of course, some people may have the best time of their life, but that's far from everybody.

But anyways, that's a great trip report and I enjoyed reading it! You're doing great at explaining different parts of your trip!

The same thing happened to me when i did DXM last time, although i thought it was hilarious at the time but it did make me feel like i had no brain functions and now that i think about it, it was pretty scary!
 
I laugh. I do not laugh because what you went through was funny; but because you did a pretty good job of explaining it. Many of us have been there and I can totally relate. I had a very similar experience recently but with different substances. It is hard to explain to someone that has never experienced something like that how you are caught in a flip book that can increase or decrease in speed and no matter what you think you will always come back the to the first thought, get pissed or confused and start all over again. I'm glad to hear you're safe and hopefully you learned. :)
 
Wooo thats a crazy experience. Amanitas are definitely no joke and a level way beyond what Psilocybin could ever reach. Glad that you had some friends helping you out along your way or you could have been in trouble.

I've only done a low dose of them and even though I retained consciousness the whole time I can somewhat relate to the mind-manifesting time loops you explain. It's like brain cycles keep happening over and over and can't continue on their path to new thoughts.

Intense stuff.
 
Sounds like a crazy time, psilocybin mushrooms have gotten me to amazingly incredible levels, sounds like you reached something pretty high on amanitas. I don't know if I'd like them, but I guess I should give them a try. Trip reports I've read have always just kept me away from bothering, and since I always liked doing mushies with psilocybin in them and could get them easily, I just did those.
 
I think this is one of the first reports I've read who describes amanitas as psychedelic as you, so that's great. Others have only said something like feeling stoned, relaxed, bad or whatever. Definitely going to try them after the summer, can someone recommend a moderate dose in dried grams? Or maybe a smaller dose first in case it sucks..

The only loops I've experienced were actually when I started smoking cannabis, but less visuals, obviously. When I think about it those experiences are actually some of the most psychedelic I've had. But I didn't know it at the time, just that they were very weird and in some cases pretty horrifying. I think I'm really sensitive to both cannabis and mushrooms; I always seem to get way more out of my mind than the people I get high with from the same doses. Can be both good and bad :) Although I haven't tripped as much as I'd like so I don't have that much to compare to. Another interesting thing is after I've tried mushrooms, and after I stopped smoking every day so I get almost as high as I did when I started, I've started to notice very weak OEV fractals and stronger multicolored patterns and fractal CEVs. But that is usually only when I'm already high from a coctail of alcohol, cocaine and heroin and then smoke, although I'm not sure why that would make cannabis more psychedelic.

Oy sorry, got a bit off topic there.
 
i've taken a large dose of aminitas thinking it was psilocybin.... mind loops up the ass except i thought i was going to be insane forever because of those loops... FUCK amanitas
 
I can relate to the loops but mine were with psilocybin cubensis...We were sitting in my friend's basement watching TV and I felt like we had been there forever and we were going to be there forever and everything we were doing was just an infinite loop playing over and over and over again, it was ridiculous. It started off with all the TV shows running together, like Chappelle's Show and Law & Order. First we were watching the black white supremacist episode of Chappelle's Show and then we switched to Law & Order and I swear I heard Richard Belzer's character Munch say "White power!" over and over again. Trippy shit, but very fun, unlike what your experience sounded like.
 
intense man. amnitas scare me. i might try them some day.

i love thought loops though. they're crazy. i imagine they're kind of like what hell is like, lol. i've been trapped in loops on other drugs.
