First time w/ shrooms

[RootsDubJah]

So a FOAF did a small grow of B+, and I had my first try of shrooms ever. Since I was such a noob, I decided to take things lightly so only did 2g of cracker dry. About a third of the 2g was aborts. This was all taken on a fairly empty stomach - hadn't had anything to eat for about 7 hours, and I had a small amount to eat about 40 minutes after eating the shrooms.

It was a pretty amazing experience - defintely one of the most enlightening experiences I've ever had. About 90 minutes in I was watching the news, and got a bit depresssed with some of the bad stuff going on in the world, so I decided to get out from in front of the TV. I went up to my room and put on my headphones and listed to some Orb (one of my top five favorite bands). A large butterfly appeared in front of me with paisly patterned wings, and she guided me through a world of constantly changing colors where it rained the colored tail feathers of peacocks. The cool thing was if I opened my eyes it all disappeared, but as soon as I closed them things came back instantly - like unpausing a DVD. As the music changed, the colors in the world shifted - for example, they sky pulsed blue with the bass. The negativity from watching the news manifested themselves in this world as snakes, and the butterfly chased them away. After about 15 minutes of this, I headed back downstairs.

I flipped through the cable looking for something "good" to watch, being a little lazy to throw in a movie. I ended up coming across "The Song Remains the Same" and was totally stoked, since Led Zeppelin is another of my top five favorite bands. During this I had probably the only open-eye visual. As Jimmy Page played the guitar and they'd zoom in on his hands, his fingers exploded from five to a bunch of different fingers picking the strings and such. But as I listened to the music and watched it's like I felt I understood what all the psychedelic music was about - it's like I was there sharing the concert experience through time with the band, and really understood why there's so much repetition and extended songs with psychedelic music.

Overall I loved it, and look forward to more. I also started compiling lists of things to "do" for subsequent times. There's so much to experience wearing these new "glasses." I definitely can be characterized like Jon Stewarts cameo in Half-Baked - an "enhancement smoker."

Nice. Always good to hear about mushrooms treating someone right (and someone treating mushrooms right, too).

Now just you wait until you try that out in the wilderness somewhere! A full Moon, sunset, thunderstorm, or chunk of treebark seen with those eyes is a sublime experience that hopefully will inspire you to leave your TV far behind.

I would caution against planning itineraries (or "to do" lists) for most trips; they go right out the window anyway and some of the most profound discoveries come from simply wandering around following your spontaneous whims.

So far my future plans are fairly open-ended - like you said get out side, etc. A few specifics that popped into my head is to watch Yellow Submarine, going to a laser show (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin), and there's a couple of other movies that might be great. Although I think I'll avoid public places until I get more experience - make sure I know how to stay in control of myself.

But like you said, getting away from the TV is good. I just wanted to do 'normal' things I do to see what's different - more as a control to figure out how the shrooms are affecting me.

shit the song remains the same is a must do for me

but as tv said ideas never work cuz u always find summin fun and get
distracted and u never think about that thing till long after the trips gone

something i like to do however is place things about that i know il use like
that big prism ball that goes big and small, on the day il leave that about
so should i wonder near it il find it hehe so maybe try that

but also as tv said, wait till u can sit urself in a forest, probably one of
the greatest experience of you can have in life.. i can def vouch for it..
