Emptyness. Thats all that I felt on shrooms the other day. My friend and I tried shrooms for the first time ever the other night and it was an unexplainable feeling. We got 2gs of dried mushrooms each. at about 7pm we got really high off of the weed we had and it had just about completely worn off by 11:30. This is about the time that i mixed the crushed shrooms in some peanutbutter and ate them all. half an hour later I felt a slight buzz of confusion. An hour later... the same feeling. Two and a half hours later... same feeling. We both grew so tired of being in this completely plain mood, and completely bored state of mind. About three hours had gone by so my friend and I decided to go outside and smoke a joint. The second we got back into his house I just started tripping balls. My mind was like cycle of racing thoughts about thinking about what i was thinking about. It would make more sense to say that I almost blacked out beacause my brain was being overworked with thoughts. But the problem with that was that i had absolutely NO hallucinations which made me wonder what the hell I did wrong. Maybe it was the fact that my bag was like 70% stems and 30% crushed up powder. Whatever it was I was pretty pissed because the only part of me that was tripping was my body and my thoughts, but im more of a visual tripper. Because I had expected so much of this night my subconscious mind felt almost betrayed and started having a negative outlook on things. Any suggestions on what I should maybe do nextime because i felt like total shit...
I know what your problem is man, you only took 2 grams. If your expecting good visuals you should take at least 3.5 grams. You just took barely more than a teen. A teen for the feel. An 8th for the visuals.
i dunno man. Ive eaten .7g mushroom capsules and felt high. Maybe dont mix them with food, just eat them plain, and eat a bit more.
An 8th is the way to go, minimum. Never done more than an 8th myself and never needed to. But then again, I eat shrroms once every few months, when I don't have other obligations and shit. As for your crazy thoughts... Set and setting is all I have to say to that. I find that tripping is best enjoyed when you have a plan in advance. Trips aren't interesting on their own, at least not from my experience. You have to stimulate them with things. Plan some shit... road trip somewhere, blast some tunes and project a visualizer, anything to stimulate the experience a bit. Just my 2 cents.
I get visuals and have strange visions from just eating one mushroom sometimes. every strain is different. and every time you take them, it's different. that's just been my experience. I've eaten an 8th, and once I ate 3 8ths (oh god) I just like to eat one mushroom. so wacky.
^^ I havent eaten mushrooms too many times, but every time I ate them, it was very different one from the other.
wat i dont understand is you said your a "visual tripper" when its your first time on mushrooms? dunno how that makes sense. sounds like you had a low dose and tryed to hold onto your ego or maybe the weed just kicked the trip up a level suddenly and the shift in consciousness freaked you out. maybe next time just leave the weed out until the last legs off the trip. could just be mushrooms arent your thing. alot of people find mushrooms to be a jerky trip compared to something like acid because you can keep your head at least a little on low doses of LSD, mushrooms really take control of trip and you have to ride it out. good luck next time
i guess i meant i could see myself enjoyin visual trips that mind trips because the idea that i cant really control my thoughts really freaks me out. I ate 3gs of the same shrooms yesterday with some friends and about an hour into it we decided to all go home. I found myself enjoying the trip a lot more when I was alone at home for some reason. I really liked the fact that all of the lights were on and music was flowing through my house. My house turned into a place where I could express my feelings and thoughts more freely than ever. But theres something about shrooms I really don't like. To maintain my happy feelings and thoughts, I had to constantly be walking around and shifting myself to different parts of my house, almost as if I lost all appreciation for each room within about 5 minutes of being there but that became a cycle. I also dont like how my mind is very vulnerable and if i get a hold of an idea, my mind wont let me believe its just the shrooms mind fucking me(which it really just is). Like yesterday my friend came over about 3 hours into my trip and I began to lose all focus of what was going on and what he was saying becaue I was so deep into my thoughts. Everytime he asked me about something or what was going on I got even more lost and mid-tripped even more. But thats when I got the horrible idea that I was going to be stuck like that forever, not being able to focus on anything at all and being totally spaced out all the time. This then made me think "What if this isn't just the shrooms and i'll be like this forever? Is this what it's like to be insane or mentally challenged? Have the shrooms brought a mental illness to the surface of reality?" Now you can see why i'm writing about this. As I was trying to convince myself that everything was okay and reality was how I live everyday and not what i'm living right now, I didn't know who or what to trust anymore. Here I was stuck trying to decide if I should trust my inner voice or the shroom thoughts. Both have made me realize many different inner thoughts about myself, but i was thinking "Who am I supposed to ultimately trust when I just witnessed these shrooms take over my entire mind and body? The two things I value most in life because of our direct physical connection, had just lost a battle to the force who supplied whole idea."
shoot, you guys talk about an eighth of dried shrooms...man, I used to boil up 4-6 lbs of cubensis to take between 2-3 people. We tripped balls for hours, full visuals, full body, insane good trip. Unfortunately my favorite field was bulldozed into a parking lot.
couldnt have said it better myself! same exact thoughts running through my mind a few hours ago on shrooms, dont know if i'll do them again.. it was as intense...
