Why did this happen, and is it normal?

So over the weekend, I drove from my school up to a different college campus to hang out with some high school friends and see a show. We were seeing Trey Anastasio in concert, and my friend and I decided to split 1/8 of shrooms. He had a bad experience on an acid trip last year, so he decided that he didn't want to trip too hard. As his cautionary measure, he told me that I could eat all of the caps in the bag.

I've tripped shrooms maybe 5 times and acid 3 times, but I've never had a bad trip. I've had some bunk trips where nothing happened, and other times I've had some beautiful experiences with psychedelics. It was something different at the show, however.

Once we were at the venue and half way through the first set, I became completely aware of my trip, but it affected me much more dramatically than I was expecting. The lights and colors that I had been able to see as objects and reflections upon all combined, unpleasantly, into one hue and magnitude that took up my entire field of vision. I also had a sense that I was becoming much heavier. I ended up losing my balance and falling to the floor, where, my friends, seeing that I was really losing my shit, helped me up and walked me outside. We sat down on a bench where I lit a cigarette and a friend gave me some of her water. My heart rate was up, I was sweating, and I felt overheated, but I'm not sure if that was all part of what happened inside or my body's reaction to the "event" I had experienced. I collected myself and we went back inside where, not long after reentering, the "event" happened again and my friends took me back outside. I felt guilty for interrupting their show so much so I let them go back in. Eventually I came back and had to stick to the back of the crowd, periodically going to the lobby when it felt like it was becoming too much. At the end of the night, I caught maybe one full song from a distance and far away from my friends. It pretty much ruined my show.

So, what happened in there? Have any of you, or anyone you know had something like this happen? I've tripped at concerts before with nothing bad happening, so I don't think it was any sort of "sensory overload", but I don't know if I should rule it out. What else could have caused this to happen?

 

Sounds like mushrooms to me. Stems have just as much power as caps by the way. Should have maybe taken acid, it's a lighter trip. Shrooms can be way too heavy for shows.

 

Did you eat food before the shrooms? Could be the shrooms just weren't settling right and you got some nausea which trust me, one bad thing can domino to other things

 

Mushrooms can vary in potency from batch to batch. Tripping can be an uncomfortable sensation for many, and the show style venue can be very uncomfortable with loud noises, lots of people, lots of body heat etc.

Seems like you just had a more powerful reaction to the shrooms than you were expecting.

it was just a bad trip it is normal

 

Nice CS, if I'm reading that correctly caps have an average of 30% more active alkaloids than stems?

 

As far as I can tell, yes. :sunny:

 

happened to me once, not as intense but same kind of thing. I was at a camping/music festival, my friend was having the same kind of experience. So we went back to our campsite, lit a fire, listened to some music and just chilled out. Then i had an epiphone, everything came together. I stood up and told my friend i was ready to go back to the music, and he agreed. Then, almost like it was on que, the rest of my friends showed up to pick me up. It turned out to be one of the best nights of my life. Usually if a trip is going bad the mushrooms are really trying to talk to you, and your trying your hardest not to listen.
