Greetings psychonauts - This may be a little long but, please bear with me. I need some feedback - Background - I'm a 51 y.o. white male, I take 60 mg methadone daily for pain and the occasional 6 mg bromazepam tablets because well, because. I smoke cannabis daily and drink an occasional Shiner Bock. That is the extent of my drug intake.
30+ years ago, I used to hunt the pastures for psilocybe cubensis, and I always harvested pounds of them. Black plastic trash bags weighing 20-30 lbs, easy. Anyway, me and my friends would throw all the stems away (we thought they contained strychnine Ha!) and we'd boil those caps for a half hour or so, sometimes twice that long, smashing the mushrooms in the pot with a potato masher. We'd mix that foul liquid directly into pre-sweetened kool-aide powder, and divide it up amongst whoever happened to be present. Now, almost every time I drank that tea, I tripped, and I tripped for real. Lots of sacred geometry, full-on hallucinations, I even experienced some existential moments that I wasn't mature or evolved enough to appreciate at the time. I enjoyed 'shrooms, acid and some other hallucinogens in my younger years, and like so many of us, just kind of "outgrew" them all. During that time of my life, I wasn't mature enough to appreciate the gifts that come with the proper use of these entheogens. Now though. Now I know I'm ready to take the journey. I'm retired, children are moved out. The wife moved out long ago - and an old girlfriend came around that doesn't endulge, but she loves me enough to babysit me and keep a couple xanax on hand in case something goes wrong. Which brings us to the now...
Fast forward about a month or so back, and I met a guy (extended family member) selling dehydrated homegrown "Cambodian" shrooms. I felt like with all the negative stuff I have going on in my life right now, it might be a good time to open my third eye and see if I can't work some things out. So, I produced currency and purchased some "boomers". Here's what happened: First time with the dehydrated home grown, I chopped up 2.5 grams fine, and ate it on toast w/peanut butter. I got a heavy body load and felt really, stupid-style goofy, laughed alot - but, that was it. Not ANY visuals, 4 hour duration. So, I go back the next week/10 days and I do 6 grams using this Lemon Tek thing I've read about here on the interwebs. I ground the 6 grams to the consistancy of talc powder and added approx. 1/2 cup of lemon juice and stirred occasionally for 20 minutes. I then added some cold cranberry juice and downed it all in one shot (blech). It came on in 18 minutes but, same thing as before - real lazy feeling, goofy as hell but no visuals to speak of. My eyes watered to the point I stoped trying to dry them and just let tears stream down my face, Was NOT crying though. Just constantly yawning which made my eyes water up. I started thinking maybe this guys shrooms are weak. I've read they can lose potency from too many harvests (flushes) - I don't know. I don't grow em. Not yet anyway. Please stay tuned. This is all leading to something important. Important to me anyway... I need your experience(s)...
I happened upon a pasture 2 weeks ago that is producing like crazy! Well hidden, and I can't walk 20 feet in any direction without running into some 'cubes. Now, I took a standard plastic grocery size bag full of fresh wild psilocybe cubensis, washed them off real good, and put them in a pot of hot water, occasionally heating to boiling for approx. 1/2 hour. Maybe a little longer. I filtered that shit and drank all 30 oz's. (Way too much liquid. Don't know how I fucked that up). Went inside and got comfortable to wait. Man, that stuff hit me way fast and way strong! Like in 5-7 minutes, I was getting those strange feelings that we all know too well. I started feeling uncomfortable, and took a hot shower to kind of mellow out. I was feeling better and getting some cool visuals in that dark shower, when, as I was drying off, without warning, I projectile vomited about 20 ounces of that tea. I had fasted prior, and I know that red kool-aide was what was left of my dose. My high consisted, once again, of a body buzz and a general goofy-ass attitude. People say I'm pretty goofy on my own, no mushies required. So I don't really need to risk climbing fences and shit to just be goofy. Damn!
Okay - TL/DR - Can anybody provide any insight as to why I'm having such a hard time getting a proper trip off these damn shrooms? I really, truly need to experience the heightened awareness that comes from a serious, good trip. I need to work through some serious shit. Has anyone heard of Methadone holding psilocybin back? Could that be it? I can't find anything related on google. What about an occasional 6mg bromazepam? Everything I've read about that Lemon Tek deal has been good - with no mention of reduced visuals. Just a faster come on and more intense trip. I can vouch for the fast come on but, every lemon tek I've done has not impressed me. Not.One.Little.Bit.when it comes to the visuals. It's like the lemon fucks the visuals and leaves me acting as a laughing loony. I'm wondering if I should just dry out the caps I harvest from this field and eat them with honey. Seems like my stomach acid is breaking down the psilocybin into psilocin more effectively than the lemon juice. Either that or the lemon juice is playing fucky with the visual aspect of the tryptamines. I don't know. I'm sitting here stoned on Master Kush, trying to sound smart when I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Help me smart people! You are my only hope!!
So - feedback would be greatly appreciated. I just joined the board today in order to post my question. I've been a LONG time lurker though. Even back when the site had an "ru" extension, I was reading and learning. Thanks in advance to anybody willing to provide some useful information regarding why I seem to be having such a hard time getting off. Hell, I may just hit up a DNM and order some of those 225ug blotters they got if something doesn't shake loose soon.
Fun Fact: I grabbed a cow-patty from that pasture I described. It was pretty dried up with one old wrinkled shroom hanging off of it. (kinda like me) - anyway, I brought it home and stuck it under my roses. This thing has been gifting me two diff. strains at the rate of 3-5 fruit a day. I plan to go back this afternoon, and get a couple really large and heavily fruiting patties to put in the cooler and they're gonna go right next to this one. If it all works out, I won't have to worry about what I'm gonna tell some dude as to why I'm stomping around his property. I'll have all I need growing right out my back door. Here's some pics of the patty beneath my roses. Couple more pics from under the roses. I swear, this patty fruits daily. The fruit is steadily getting smaller though. Any insight as to why that would be happening? I'm assuming it's running out of nutrients. I cut all the stems above the mycellium layer, so I'm damaging it by yanking the shroom right out. But they're def. getting smaller every time. Wisdom, please?
