First Mushroom Trip Ever

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

It is now 9PM I injested 2.5 Grams at 8:30 of home cubies. This is my first trip ever. I will try and post how it goes either during (doubtful) or afterwards. Too big a dose??? Wish me luck!

[BuckarooBanzai]

Good luck! Anybody around?

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

I'm alone in my basement, but the house is not empty. There is no reason I should be disturbed though. now 45 minutes in. Just feeling a slight/medium body high. That normal?

[eternalfrost]

2.5 g should be good place to start. happy trippin!

[BuckarooBanzai]

Hard to really say what is normal for your first time. Most of the beginning will be hard to distinguish from placebo. You should be very certain by 2 hours.

Once it kicks in, you won't be wondering, don't worry...

If something gets annoying, stop doing it and go do something else.

If you can't find something, quit looking for it.

If you get totally wigged, close your eyes and concentrate on breathing. If you can count 10 breaths with your eyes closed, I guarantee things will feel TOTALLY different when you open them.

Good luck!!!

Happy tripping friend!

Get off your computer! Try to close your eyes and to focus on the breath.
At time 0 + 6hrs you can always try a hot shower or better yet, a hot bath... for me it's the best thing ever... aaaaaaah if i only could have a sauna .... lol

2,5 Grams is a solid dose if the mushroom is horse-shit grown and/or lucky to be potent. For a first time i would have ingest 1,5 grams but that is just me.


Try to do some meditation, let go and pay attention!

have fun, but i'd also recommend going outside and enjoying nature, but that's based on what my friends have told me - i actually haven't tripped on shrooms yet, waiting until the grow of my foaf is done

Everything I needed to know about life I learned from reading BuckarooBanzai's posts...

If something gets annoying, stop doing it and go do something else.

If you can't find something, quit looking for it.

If you get totally wigged, close your eyes and concentrate on breathing.

Nice.

Those tips are harder to remember while tripping than they sound!

u will have a great time! have fun! try to have an empty stomach like dont eat 4 hours ahead..and chew well..

And what a night it was.... I started word and typed the beggining of a trip report (the only thing I managed to type was, Holy Fuck!!), and then put on some of my favorite tunes, sat on the couch (dimmed the lgihts) and waited for the unkown. I worked yesterday morning and had eaten supper once I got home, had a shower, then I ate my mushies chewing very very well, followed by a glass of OJ. I would actually recomend this for a first trip however just be aware it will come on very slowly and take longer than expected.

Like I said earlier 45 minutes in I only had a medium body high, no visual stimulation with eyes open or closed. I kept thinking over and over again, omg what if the vendor sold me just regular ol mushies and these aren't magical at all. Or what if I dried and stored them improperly and their is little to no potency. About an hour to an hour and 15 minutes in I just felt stoned, but noticed as I stared at my blanket, it appeared as it was breathing, with my breath. (I dismissed this to the placebo effect.) I remember reading so many posts that said things like "boy was I wrong" and "I thought that was intense but the trip was only beggining", sure enough I was very very wrong.

First the visuals started, and they came very very slowly more intense. I spent from 10 to 11 sitting on my couch listening to tunes and just staring at walls, at pictures, at my guitars, but still nothing looked odd enough to say that I was tripping for sure. Slight bending, breathing on some objects. Still I worried about the potency and thought that maybe I should injest more. That would have of course, been a terribe idea.

Then the effects really started to hit me. One of my CD's stopped playing but I continued to sit and stare, and now noticed, incredibly, how all my thoughts created sounds in my head, which then echoed intensly. Once I realised I was actually tripping I was in pure ectasy, I couldn't get enough of how ridiculous everything looked, how my hands looked, how the coffee table moved in and out with itself. I went to the bathroom, and stared at my face for a good 15 minutes, as with every expression I made, my face would stretch to amplify that emotion. After a bit that just scared me a little, because a little to creepy face I made so I headed back to the couch, and put on some new tunes. I decided to draw a picture for my friend who asked me to, so I grabbed my pen and began drawing.

It was called the cabin house and their isn't a single straight line in the entire picture hahahaha. It also features an angry sun exlaiming "ANGER" and a flower growing from the earth that says, "Yo man chill out" which is barely legible.

All this was fine and dandy, until I started asking myself, this is obviously a good trip so I wonder what a bad trip is like. At this point I was in a totall and absolute cartoon world. Walls would close in on me, the roof tiles looked as if they were drawn, and would shift shapes and swell and grow, the white tiles started looking like ready to fruit cakes.

This was by far the best, and probly the peak of the trip. Nothing seemed to be normally sized, I was truly in a Alice in Wonderland World. The door to the closest was gigantuous, and walls and objects starting taking emotions. Never once in the this period was I frightened or scared, I actually wanted more.

I remember now when I moved to another room to check the vibe there haha, and I was lying in the bed in the spare bedroom. The computer and light made a certain vibration noise with teh fan and hum of the light combined. From time to time a shudder would start at the top of my head, so vivid and clear, and my entire body would shake throughout. It was the most intense feeling. Also at this time I couldn't hear the music as well, as it was playing in another room, and this created a really cool vibe. Since it was quieter, the sound almost "vibrated" slowly, coming in and out at climaxs and low points. The singers voice at times sounded as though it were directly in my head.

I constantly got the feeling that this is what people experienced when they described the "drug induced 70's". This brought on a plethora of feelings. Mostly incredible feelings, that this state was a product of my hard work and dedication. At this point I started going in and out of bad tripping. I remember thinking to myself, :OH MY GOD.... I never want to be sober again!!" but that mood quickly changed, as I began to get very tired, and wanted to go to bed (it was about 1 am now), but that was impossible. I turned off the lights and started tossing and turning, feeling enclosed and unable to escape, getting way to hot. The numbers on my digital clock bounced and seemed way too far away to be real. I turned the lights back on and grabbed a smaller blanket, and instantly I became happy again. It was at this point I experienced the weirdest and most intense part of my trip. Somthing reminded me of an earlier childhood experience and for a split second, like being electricuted, my entire body jolted and for merely a second, I became myself in my memory. It happened two or three times. I tried to recreate this feeling, but I couldn't. MY words don't even begin to describe how intense it was... I will hope for more experiences like this in my next trip.

Advice for myself and other new trippers: I have no regrets for starters, I am a firm believer in every experience good or bad teaches you somthing. We are nothing without our bad experiences. Although in the future I will ingest at an earlier time, as I became very fatigued and unable to sleep by the end of my trip. I did fall asleep at about 2-2:15. I remember thinking by the end of my trip, "I just want to be sober now..." which is ironic lol. I may also consider eating after I dose next time. To see the effects come on quicker.

*** A little side note here. I just remembered how the lighting extremly affect my mood, and how comfortable I was. My lights have a dim switch and at different levels the lights appeared different colors. A medium level which was yellow, was my happiest state, when darker it appeared brown, and this was quickly associated with a slight nasuea and unhappy feelings.

Mushrooms deserve much respect...

wow sounds like a nice trip!

As I play at least an hour of guitar everyday, so it's the one thing I wanted to do, but since my family was sleeping, I as unable, for fear of waking them up. I will next time , and hopefully I will have an environment where I am free to do whatever it is I want.

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

While I have your attention I'd also like to thank all the mycotopia moderators and everyone who gave me a warm welcome and sound advice for my FOAFs grow. This wouldn't have been possible without you.

[spacecake]

--''I may also consider eating after I dose next time. To see the effects come on quicker.--''

Don't do that...or maybe eat some very light candy or fruit..nothing more,it's better to not eat before and thru a trip ,an empty stomach keeps your head clean...!

And try to get more rest before your trips,you said that you had, that 'I want to sleep now' feeling at 1:00 hour ! this is not good..if it's a good trip and your not tired ,then you would have thought the opposite !
Starting a trip at 9 PM is allright...

Try some thea next time,and drink it very slowly over a period of a half hour !

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

I didn't mean 1:00 as in one hour, I meant that as in 1:00 AM 4 hours into my trip. And yeah I should do it a day I'm more rested, but I spent so long on this journey to acquire them, I was much too anxious, I already skipped the one day I had planned out to trip because of some turmoil that came up in my life. Yeah I guess your right, maybe not a good idea to eat during, last night I did have lots of water, and a few handfuls of chocolate covered almonds.

Playing guitar my very well be my favorite thing to do while tripping.

You're going to love it.

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

Wicked man I will look forward to it.

[spacecake]

I know you mean one o'clock in the morning..lol

..that 'memory' thing you had in the last part of the trip is very common,and I think it's the best part of the trip,and nowdays I only trip to experiance that moment..the moment of visions,memory's,revolations,and all spiritual things the mushrooms has to offer !
For me,it comes when I'm in a peacefull place/room...with no or little music.

It's a good thing you had alot of water,it prevents a 'hangover'...

[BuckarooBanzai]

Welcome to the pleasuredome...

haha alright, sorry about the confusion spacecake. I did have a slight hangover, I was worried I was still tripping in the morning haha, but a quick check in the mirror assured me I was not. Is this flashback experience way more common on larger trips??

Thanks buckaroo, it is somthing I wish to explore a lot more.

And good luck Kyo, I hope you have as good luck as I've had.

I don't know,I don't take more than 2.5 gram of cubies..last couple of years !

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

Well I guess there's only one way to find out, I will probly do a couple more smaller just to get a good feel for ittrips or even the same size, before I move up to the larger ones.

Hey just commenting on the glass of OJ from experience throwing that shit up can be pretty painful if you havent eaten before you ingest the mushrooms.

[InsidiousDecrepancy]

I should have been more specific, but I was actually refering to eating before your first trip, I have no idea if the OJ had any influence on the trip as it was my first.
