Hey everyone, I am gonna post my experience that I had when I took shrooms for the first time, last friday (7/7). Okay, just for some prerequisite knowledge, the only drugs I've ever done were vicodin (which did nothing) and pot (if you can even call that a drug). I'm 5'7, 160 pounds, but not fat at all, and I work out by running on a routine basis. Anyway, it seemed like friday was national trip day because anyone and everyone who hadn't done shrooms was doing it for the first time. I didn't want to do this on an empty stomach, as I hadn't eaten all day and it was around 5 in the afternoon, so I ate some Taco Bell. My really good(and brilliant) friend was the sitter, but in total, there was 7 of us tripping(3 girls 4 guys). We took them at 6:45 exactly. Within one hour, everyone was feeling it. It was awkward for me because I hadn't started feeling it yet, but everyone else was. We all walked down to the park and they were laying all over the playground equiptment, so I did the same. Still I felt nothing. Then we just went back to the house. Well, after about 2-3 hours they all started coming down. I had felt absolutely NOTHING. So I figured that I just didnt do it right or something. So we called one of my friends and picked up some pot and smoked 2 joints and a bowl and we were pretty baked (around 10 oclock). After smoking, I was really, really stoned, which is unusual for me because I smoke everyday I dont really get high like I used to, but trust me I was freakin flying high(the weed wasnt really anything to shake a stick at either). That is when I started feeling weird. We were in the kitchen and everyone was just talking and I started zoning out. I ran into the bathroom and looked at my eyes, and my pupils were realllly dialated, so I knew something was up. Then it hit me at 11. The only thing I could compare the feeling to is that it is like being so ungodly drunk, puking over a toilet and dry heaving, that you feel like you're hanging on by a thread for your very life. You're probably wondering why it hit me so late, but I realize it is because my digestive system is fcked up because I only eat 1 big meal a day, or sometimes I dont eat because I am just plain not hungry, so it must have taken a while to digest. I felt like I was going to die. I felt like my heart could stop at any minute and like this was literally going to be the end. I was praying to god that it wouldnt end like this. I was begging everyone to take me to the hospital, and I was clinging onto my friend(the sitter, who has never done shrooms, but reassured me that nothing is wrong, I was only having a bad trip) for dear life. I had 3 layers of shirts on, and 2 blankets in a 75 degree house, and I was shivering harder than I ever had before in my life. It was like my brain was stuck into only 1 thought process: i'm going to die and there is nothing I can do about it. After 2 hours of the worst time of my life, I blacked out, hit my head on the back bumper of my friends truck, woke up and felt normal. The whole experience has made me NEVER want to do shrooms again, but I dont see why I was the only one who had a bad trip. Could someone try to explain to me what went on? I was so worried that I just want to know what was up. Thanks a ton
Your mindset could have been the issue. I would also suspect the garbage food you ate before hand. Whenever I trip I always fast for the day, this will help prevent nausea and any bad reactions with the drug and the food you ate.
It dosent sound like you prepared too well for the trip, eating only one big meal a day isnt good for your body, and especially.....taco bell. Next time I would suggest eating a big/normal sized breakfast, a big/normal sized lunch and something an hour or two before your trip. And try and make it somewhat healthy food, Ive got no proof but I bet if you were to eat mcdonalds all day vs. healthy food all day the mcdonalds trip would be worse because theres all sorts of shit in junk food that your body dosent like. Now when it comes to injestion it seems like somethings up with you, my favorite method of injestion is to grind up the shrooms to an almost powder, and fill up gel caps. I do this for several reasons, no taste, simplicity and for you, you'd appreciate that the greater surface area would let you know within 30-45 minutes for sure wheather theyre working or not. Sounds like you had a rough time so take however long a break you need, and just prepare better next time. Healthy body, Healthy mind, Healthy trip. Good luck.
Dude... 10 seconds in and I knew what was coming. "I didn't want to do this on an empty stomach so I ate Taco Bell.." You took a left onto hells highway man. Next time go into it a little better prepared and it will work better for you. My advice? A calm room, 1 to 2 friend who are also tripping, low light, music per your taste, and make it in tea.
I didn't read africa's post... I try to abstain from any solid food for 3-4 hours before the trip and that really helps the nausea. That and tea... make some withes brew
