Whats up peeps. I've been reading thes forumns habitually this past month. I figured i could elaborate on my own learnings and give a little to the community here. I was raised in a rather stict houshold and managed to avoid smoking week till i was 17 and I don't smoke cigs. After high school I went to Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO. Quite the Hippie school. I dove right in when i got there. Drinking, smoking an 8th a day, slingin. I was there in Music school. Small but still quite a good scene. Freshman year i had a good friend, david, that i smoked with all the time. He introduced me to the thought of mushrooms. I researched them for weeks, and started planing a trip. Deep breath. What, you guys read plenty of other shit, and i just had a splif. haha My first mushroom trip Was FANTASTIC. It was Feb. and my friends traveled down to durango. The night before david, my girlfriend of the time, and i went into the forrest where we planned to trip. We smoked a half track. and enjoyed yet another heavy snowfall. The next day, it was partly cloudy and 17" of fresh snow, ontop what we had. My friend had to get a hotel for the night, and still made it down for a hell of a trip. 5 of us split a half oz of the most incredible mushrooms i've had to this day. It was the most enlightening day of my life. I've had many different strains and batches. Concerts are amazing while trippin. Dave Matthews Band, Widspread Panic. I've found that a good mushroom trip will often reguvinate me, and give me a fresh perspective on where i'm at. Most recently i've dabbled with L. I started out with one dose, Good stuff, just a week solution. I had two the next time, and was experiencing a decent trip. Most recently i got puddled at a greatful dead cover band show. It was Amazing. Took me back and then further in ways that mushrooms ever did. The high is different, the hallucinations become geometrical, and fractal like. I'm new to it, but as a young psychonaut, i will go further. Personally, i'm very glad i researched everything i have done at great length prior to. It has made all the experiences so much more wonderful to explore comfortably and at my own will. Mushies and L aren't for everyone though. But i say if you interested, read up, then dabble happily. All of my exploration with psychedelics have really opened me up, and brought my full potential to my awareness. I will be enjoying halloween with this nice batch of one gram wonders. Safe trippin folks.
Be carefull, you might like it so much!! hahahahaha But, yeah, welcome to the family! Plenty of hugs!!!! (try some huging next time you are tripping, its awsome!)
Well it's refreshing to read an introduction post from such a positive person who seems to have been affected in a deeply beautiful manner. Welcome trippin, and I hope your future trips bring you closer to what it is your looking for in taking them. Pain and pleasure are hand in hand, gland in gland, with a spoonfull of miracles
On a side note I wanted to explain something of what I've gathered over the years on the differance between LSD and magic mushrooms. My mushroom trips may outweigh my LSD trips by the hundreds, but I am no noob to acid, trust me lol. But what I've come to is that mushrooms will break you down straight to the core in ways that can be extremley uncomfortable. LSD will take you to the same place, but I feel that you dont suffer the same pain to get there, more of just a 'if you let go your there' kind of deal, where as mushrooms force you to face the extremely uncomfortable and overwhelming side of nature that is both lovingly creative and destructive, making you break painfully through your own mental barriers. To submit to Parvati is most insane, if I may say lol. To me, it has become like taking LSD is gurateeed to be a fun and enlightening experience, the more I take it the more my mouth waters when I have it lying around. But even though I've eaten mushrooms literally hundreds of times, and have no problem eating them, completley love them even more than LSD if for the teachings alone, to take any amount of mushrooms out of a bag and eat, to me, is like having to put a key into an electric socket in order to get high. Both worlds are fantastic, but mushrooms always take me through the alien before the eternal becomes the causal/ familiar. Just some thoughts
yea, as with what relayer said acid is more predictable than shrooms. ive never seen an acid trip go bad but i've seen a shroom trip gone level 5 (total loss of connection with reality) and its ugly to say the least. I always feel safer taking excessive amounts of acid rather than shrooms just because the trip is more linear and controllable. acid is like being spun and hallucinating, without any harmful physical effects... or kinda like being ultra-stoned. the visuals LSD produces are far more interesting than the ones most shrooms produce. so intricate.. so beautiful..
