Shrooms/First Time/Bad Trip

[CompTA]

Shrooms/First Time/Deadly Cabinets

I will start with a little background information. Before this experience the only kind of psychedelic I have taken was some ambien that made me hallucinate a little bit. I had been wanting to try shrooms for awhile and one night my friend came over with what he called 5 average shrooms.

I ate the shrooms and then we immediatly went to McDonalds to get my friends brother some food. It only took about 15 minutes for the shrooms to kick in while I was still in the car. I started noticing mild distortions in things but no full grown hallucinating yet. About this same time my friends brother, who I hate by the way, was eating his food in the car and he kept hitting me with his elbow. While that was happening my stomach started to hurt a little too.

Here is where it started to go wrong. For whatever reason, it just didn't feel right. We get back to my friends house and I am stumbling around because I am very dizzy. When we entered the house is the exact moment I started to get scared. Her house is red everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I didn't like that red, for some reason it was scaring me. The walls were opening up and breathing, furniture was sliding across the room. I decide to go to the bathroom because I feel like I need to throw up. Here comes the worst experience of my life.

I was trapped in the bathroom because what was in there was scarier beyond anything. Her dark red cabinets were opening up showing me their teeth that were dripping blood. I tried to leave but there were doors all over the wall, I was trapped. Suddenly the cabinets swallowed me and I just started crying. I was lying there on the bathroom floor contemplating suicide. About this time my friends noticed something was wrong.

The next few hours was my friend, the only one I felt comfortable with comforting me and trying to help me. I don't know what I would've done without her. she gave me some tylenol pms to try and sleep but all that did wasmake me lose touch with reality. I was lying on a bed and I couldn't move, couldn't tell if I was awake or dreaming. All I could do was think of death.

Once I came down of the shrooms and was feeling better I walked out of the room to a big ass party. While I was in there in my dream like state lots of people showed up. I was feeling better by this point so I joined them and got really drunk and high. The rest of the night was tight. Although I still noticed a few visuals, they were alot more mild so I enjoyed them.

I'm not sure if I will ever take shrooms again but if i do it will have to be under perfect conditions because that was the worst night of my life.

CompTA, one thing that sucks about shrooms is that their potency can vary tremendously. The only upside is that unlike acid, you can always be fairly certain that the duration of the trip isn't excessively long. My first shroom trip was somewhat similar to yours although I should mention that I had already taken acid several times before getting around to trying shrooms. My brother grew some and we decided to trip along with a friend of ours. The strain he grew was very potent. Also, the shrooms were not 100% dried so we each ate just over 6 grams. That dose made my acid trips feel like a caffiene experience in comparison. I went through a period where I lost my identity, time ceased to function linearly and I soon slipped into a trip which was completely mental. It was a very scary experience but at the same time, I am stronger for having gone through it. I believe that it takes a good amount of mental toughness to allow yourself to completely lose touch with reality. I'm sure that you're a stronger person for having gone through that experience. For what it's worth, I've shroomed 3 times since then and have enjoyed all of my subsequent trips. If I were you, I'd choose a more conservative dose and try again.

Welcome to the shroom.
Please wipe the remaining blood from your arse. You have been raped.

I have always thought that mushrooms, much more so than acid, produce the most terrifying come up. That is to say, the minute I start noticing things change, I get real scared and think, oh my god, how many did I take...that sort of thing. One time I went into the bathroom, dry heaved for a second, came back out telling my bf that I had blown up. If you can learn to just ride out the first part of the trip, when things seem most scary, the rest will come naturally and hopefully be a positive experience.

By the way, the blood thing is something I saw a lot of early on, I wonder if lots of people get this? *shrug*

shrooms never gave me much in the way of visuals but it was very intense mentally, scared me somewhat also I felt dizzy. next time I trip I should just lay in bed or on a chair

I often find I see things on shrooms that a lot of people might find scary, like blood all over my hands or insects crawling out of people, but as you get more experienced you can just tell yourself that it isn't real, and it goes away pretty quickly.

in recently tried shrooms for the first time and found it very intense.i had previously tried mescaline several times and found it to be halarious.
i was told that acid was the ultimate trip but i have since heard otherwise.
my friends and i made several mistakes that lead to us having not the best time possible.
firstly we took way morre than enough for 1 trip each.
2ndly we didnt have a sitter(someone who is strait).

for the first hour or so we got really confused and didnt know what was going on.one of us even forgot that we were on them.
anyways when my friends got home (who were straight) i was lying on one of their beds in my sleeping bag all curled up thinking about how they would have to take me to the mental hospital.
after about half an hour or so of convincing me that i was going to come down i was pretty good.
overall i had one of the best days of my life. i smoked heaps of decent buds....tripped with my best mates.....completed 2 of the 3 of the trifecta
(mescaline ,mushrooms ,lsd)

all i needed was someone to help me keep things in perspective.
(ill definately do them again)

The magic mushroom is a wonderful and fufilling drug, but only if you treat it with respect.
