Ok im 18 and i become really interested in psychedelics last year..

I only ever smoked bud then last year i was interested in magic mushrooms and the internet became a place i really got interested in them, the main reason was i was curious was all of these people saying that if you arnt mentally stable then psychedelics can really fuck you up mentally.. I was really curious to how these drugs worked,, i know people who had taken them and they couldnt really explain it so i got some for myself to try for the first time.

I had truffles (psilocybe tempenanis) and they opened the world up to me (well it felt that way)

I ate them in a pot noodle, the taste of the nut type fungi slightly reminded me of cucumber , it wern't disgusting. I managed to eat 12gram fresh, i then headed off to a supermarket (asda) to get some liqour.. i began feeling funny when i tried crossing the road at the car park, i had to grab hold of my friend as the cars seemed intimidating and crossing seemed an impossible task.

I began feeling the effects in the supermarket, my friend noticed my girlfriend was there, i turned round to be horrified she was actually there, i wern't tripping was i?? i walked over and she was really there, she seemed suprised to see me but i felt as if i could see dissapointment in her face.. she asked me what i was doing, i couldnt reply, i did not know, i couldnt stop smiling at this point and had to go she knew something wasn't right..

I turned round to see all my friends talking to my P.E (physical education) teacher , this seemed funny to me and i couldnt stop giggling at myself.. he asked me how i was and i just burst into laughter, at this point all my mates had began walking down the isle to get some beers, i abruptly left and made my way down this isle... they seemed so far away, it seemed at this point that my mates were all against me, i ignored it as i thought it was the drugs effects and carried on my way to get the beers..

I had finally left the supermarket with a few things, a bottle of remy red, a bottle of cognac, some water and chewing gum.. i made my way to the car and i didnt feel safe, i asked my mate if i was safe here and he turned round with his shades on and giggled "your safe with me buddy." He seemed like a cartoon dog, it was so funny i could not stop laughing i was in hysterics, they all thought it was funny and put me in a positive mood.. I went back to mine and still found everything hilarious.. I was laughing that hard i burst into tears.. my friends all looked a bit scared but at this point my other mate was giggling lots also so they quickly forgot about my little outburst of tears (which felt as if they were tears of joy)

I lay down and smoked some more bud, at this point i had Tupac - God bless the dead on.. It was inside my body, the song felt as if it was a part of me, it was inside my mind!!

I had tottally forgot about my phone and couldnt figure out anything on it, i knew i had lots of missed calls (mainly from my girlfriend) and texts but i couldnt handle something so compelx, i went to the bathroom and i looked up and seen my bright blonde hair and face, it was if i was looking into someone else's eyes.. i quickly splashed my face with water and made my way into my room..

My friends were all giggling at my mate who was laughing at nothing basically, well it felt that way to me, but i knew he would be finding something so funny.. i laughed with him at this point as one of my friends seemed as if he was an old man from a cartoon.. i felt sorry for him, he seemed so old.

At this point i could handle phoning my girfriend, i wanted to see her so badly, i felt a bit scared (lost) at this point and needed some reasurring, i went to meet her and this is where my life began,, I walked out into the sun and i began putting my life in persceptive, i knew which way was right, i knew which way to go.. I had longed for this, it felt as if i would be ok and when i met my girl in this peaceful sun i told her all of this and how i felt, she really was intrigued but at first she seemed like none of this was possible from some sort of fungus..

I then went back to mine and made love, it felt wonderful to know my girl was going to be there for me, she seemed my guardian angle in the sense she was protecting me ..

i sat in my bedroom and tried eating some pizza, it seemed so hard, it didnt taste good and i couldnt figure how to eat all of this big pizza, i left it and walked my girfriend to the shops and back,, i just loved the peaceful feeling it gave me, i felt as if everthing was so perfect, nature so wonderful..

when i got in i layed in my bed reflecting on what a trip this had been, I know now what people mean, i could understand that someone who is mentally unstable would find this very to take in all at once..

I then become interested in psychedelics, i tried MDMA a number of times and although it was a wonderful drug nothing beats the feeling from psilocybin, MDMA began to feel fake and i didnt like the comedowns.

I tried psilocybin a nubmer of other times, it was different every time i took it, i went to amsterdam and tripped and the setting was compeltely wrong, well for me it was. i am now becoming interested in LSD, i feel i would be able to handle the effects and duration, i really am wondering how different it is from psilocybin?? i know you cannot compare the two really but as they are both psychdelic would you say that someone has tripped of mushrooms would be fine with LSD, i have been told by one person that it has changed their life both for the better and the worst.. i feel mushrooms have changed my life positively but i dont exactly feel they have changed me as a person..

Anyways thanks for reading ;)
 
Good trip report. You seemd to have some good perspective at the end of your trip when you met up with your girlfriend. If you are looking to try LSD, and you are comfortable with shrooms, then I say go for it. Just start with 1 hit and see how that goes. If it's not very potent then try for 2 hits. Just be careful ;) Peace.

a pot noodle is not a bad idea at all 8o i have been thinking for a while "what's a better way to disguise the flavour of philosophers stones?". cheers :D
 
it would seem to me that mushrooms are far harder to handle then LSD...

Would that be true?

that said i've not had mushrooms (but a lot of acid)
 
^^ every answer you get for that will be completely subjective ;) i think they're on par with each other for different reasons.
 
honestly to me mushrooms at an equilavently visual dose to lsd are much harder on my head,seems sinister at times,but always brings me the most insight...lsd to me is usually just a fun time,unless i take a megadose then all bets are off lol
 
^anyone that short-minded, who would only think "lets get fucked up".. runs a big risk of becoming another acid-casuality or mushie-casuality. if your not ready to perhaps have your subconscious demons amplified, then they will disturb the shit out of you.

people don't end up talking to themselves in an unshakable nervousness for nothing.
 
I too plan to try acid soon. Magic mushrooms have given me a clear headed insightful perspective on life, which can be directed inwards. They did make me think about my demons, but then i have faced, or am facing all of them. I think it's the people who are denying and maybe repressing something which they never think about anymore are the ones who may have the so called 'bad trips', which are in fact just painful wake up calls, forcing you to face the music. These experiences can often paradoxically be the most rewarding and neccessary in the long run
 
Good report.

OT kind of..


Does anyone have any tricks to avoid getting sick from eating truffles.
Both times ive thrown up from them and felt very ill in the stomach. I ate a bit over a half a maccas cup (i didnt weigh them) worth the other night.
I tripped very hard but every time i feel sick in the stomach an hour so after consumption.

This time i drank them after chopping them finely with a meat allowing them to soak in a cup of a coke for an hour. last time i put the truffles in my nutella sandwich.
Other times ive just chewed them, but every time i get sick, i enjoy the trip but wont touch them again because of the physical discomfort.
 
Very nice report it brought me back to my first experience with the magic mushroom.
 
Imo there are only two ways to eat fresh mushrooms/truffles.

1. The get it out of the damn way approach:

Chop up yer fungi as finely as possible, float it on a pint glass full of water, chug, chase with something strong-tasting (coffee, fruit juice, booze or somesuch)

2. The time-consuming but less minging approach:

Chop em up fine again, place in a saucepan of water, whack on the hob at 1 or 2 (i.e. warm-hot, but not boiling), leave for as long as you can be arsed (at least 20-30 mins), stirring every now and again. Add coffee, sugar, milk for however many people and leave 5 mins more. Filter the resulting lumpy coffee through a fine sieve into mugs/cups/whatever. This is drinkable, but a shot (just one mine!) or whiskey (JD works perfectly) per cup covers the shroom taste almost completely, the resulting beverage tastes like irish coffee! Well, a tiny bit more minging, but a million times nicer than chomping on raw shroom!

'scuse the off topic post, just replying to the guy that asked! Glad your trip went well, there's still plenty left to learn from the humble 'shroom, I got my ego handed to me on a plate after 2.5 grams of ridiculously potent dried mushrooms in Amsterdam this summer, after dozens of trips over several years. The wee fungus has plenty to tell us ;)
 
ha ha tripping in asda is a strange experience! everything looks so artificial and completely unapetising ...... nice report mate
 
Nice report! And trufles taste GREAT! The texture reminded me of salty nuts.

I can totally relate to that!
I tried psilocybin a nubmer of other times, it was different every time i took it, i went to amsterdam and tripped and the setting was compeltely wrong, well for me it was.
A friend of mine, a pretty experienced tripper, also had a complete bad trip in his hotel in Amsterdam. He was totally convinced that everyone there was from the mafia and everything was set up to kill him... ouch
