So I ended up taking a little under 4.5 grams... shit got crazy I was with 4 friends, I started with 2.5 grams.. didn't start to feel anything for at least an hour and a half, then I started to really enjoy it. I was so happy, and couldn't believe how at peace I felt with everything. The visuals were awesome... I would close my eyes and I couldn't even believe that my brain was able to produce such images; at one point i was sitting on the bed staring at my jeans, and there was a sheer veil-esque cover over my sight, and just beneath the translucence was this clearish bug thing crawling around. Kind of like I was seeing halfway to another dimension.. Then I decided I wanted more! I ate probably two more grams.. then popped a molly cap. [which i knew wouldln't be too much, i'd had one from the same batch before & the roll was relatively mellow] I also added (half?) an adderall, a cup o' coffee, a few cigs and hits of weed along the way. I was all kinds of fucked up. We went downstairs and stared at the kitchen floor which presented itself interestingly with it's little designs and squares. It seemed like some were pushed downward/upward. Every step i took was physically different, and interesting. It was fun just wandering around the house and doing nothing. Everytime I looked in the mirror, i thought i looked like an alien Alienesque and exotic. And i had the cliche two rows of eyes; and everytime i would sit down and stare at the towel in the bathroom it seemed to have symbols of a different language protruding from it. We had blacklights on upstairs, and that created some very cool visual effects. I could see my muscles glowing, and my bones. Everyone looked like Alex Grey artwork, ha. Gridlines of eyes were always a veil in my vision. I went into one of the bedrooms and found a book on Taoism laying on the floor, and for some reason I was really confused about how to go about reading it. I thought it was backwords; I started reading from the bottom to top, and still understood it somehow, ha. Then I took it into the room everyone was chillin at and we started reading it aloud. That was when I realized it made perfect sense, and in that moment I had life figured out. I felt so at peace with everything. Then, everything started kicking in at once. I started tripping pretty hard, so I just curled up into a ball on the bed. This is where the head roller coaster started. My brain was moving so fast I couldn't keep up, and I could feel the chest pressure from rolling for a while combined with the addy. I was thinking about life and death, and was trying to decide if I was really alive in that moment. I couldn't believe that oxygen was really the only thing keeping me alive. I had prepared myself for this, so my "rational" self had to keep talking to my "trip" self, to keep myself calm. Disturbing thoughts, such as suicide and the thoughts of "What if I did something to myself and died right now?" kept popping up. So I told myself to accept them and let them pass, it was just the mushrooms and it would fade soon. I felt as if I had died, I would be okay in that moment. Almost apathetic. I had a vision of an infinite grid that represented the universe. In this grid, were little lumps, protruding in different volumes all over the surface. I thought of the bill hicks quote "we are all one mass, experiencing ourselves subjectively" and it made perfect sense. We are little "souls", these little lumps, made up of one massive grid, we are one. I finally fell asleep around 5:30a.m. I assume, had taken the first shrooms around 10:00p.m.? I can't wait to take them outside in the daytime... Well, that's just the main points of my trip, ha. I feel accomplished, like I've had a legitimate tripping experience, and i'm really glad I did it. Hopefully more to come, with LSD if I can ever get ahold of some!
Hoohoooooo! What an excellent trip! You should read "My Big Toe", its about the workings of the universe. He refers to those little lumps in the grid as reality cells. It gives a really logical scientific definition for it. Yes it true, the one became many, the spirit became the many souls, the unbounded oneness became an unbounded manifold of connected but individual souls. I love the feeling of knowing everything, of everything making sense. The more you used to tripping the clearer that feeling comes, and the deeper the understanding is intergrated into normal everyday life. For next time I would stay away from things like aderol while tripping. Try to make it as clear minded as possible. The experience will be more beautiful that way.
Yeah the first couple of hours were pure bliss before I took anything else; i'd love a pure shroom trip in the morning sunlight out in a park or something.
Hippie flipping is shrooms and x, candy flipping is acid and x, jedi flipping is shrooms, acid, and x. I don't think there is an official name for acid and shrooms yet.
