What's Reality? (Trip Report)

This is my first time dabbling in psychedelics. Overall it was a crazy, scary, enjoyable day. It's very, very hard to explain what I felt in words but, I'll try my best. Lets begin!

I've been looking around for shrooms for a while now and finally got a connection. A friend of mine (we'll call him T) invited me over to go to the mall with him and maybe go see a movie afterwards. I usually hate the mall but, I decided to go anyways for some reason. I walked to T's house to find his friend there as well (we'll call her N). I told T I had wanted to make some orange juice and pulled out the shrooms. Both T and N were curious about shrooms so I let them take a couple drinks once the orange juice was successfully made. After pouring the orange juice and 3.5g of shrooms in the blender, it was complete. The time had come.

It was approximately 5:30 P.M. by now. At first, I was nervous a little bit. My heart began pounding hard and I began to feel a little cold. Then I remembered how long I've waited for this, and just drank about 3/4th's of the cup and turned off my phone in case my parents called. T was driving to the mall so he said he'd drink some when we came back to his house. N drank a little bit. We then headed out to the mall after about 20-30 minutes of indigestion.

On the ride to the mall, I was confused. I couldn't feel any different and nothing was changing. I, for some reason, thought that I didn't drink enough and wanted to drink more but, I told myself I'd wait a little longer.

Upon arrival at the mall, we met up with 3 mutual friends: A,B, and C. We walked into Zumies and said our hellos and whatnot. As soon as I entered the store, I was hit and began feeling different: upset stomach, confusion. I didn't like the music. It was modern mainstream junk. Overall, I just hated being in there. I told T that this place was stupid and he said we would leave soon. I decided to just look around the store and saw some real nice colorful posters. I especially enjoyed this spiral-like poster blasted with colors. I was just gazing at the poster for what seemed like an eternity. All of a sudden the poster grew. What was a small poster soon turned into the entire store. All the walls were covered in this giant image. All of sudden some death metal turned on and completely changed the environment. It became dark. In a blink of the eye, the colors all turned to black and white. I didn't like this. I told T we need to leave now but, our A and B were talking and I didn't want to be a cock block. C overheard me telling T about the scary mood. T told him I was on shrooms. Jokingly, C tapped A on the shoulders and said we need to go, NOW! T, N, and I laughed at this.

By this point the shooms hit me. The moment we stepped outside of the store, I didn't know what was what. I felt like the mall was the milky way. Each store was a different solar system and the middle was the middle of the galaxy. Each person in the store was a star. Every single one of them different, unique in their own way. I was completely amazed by this. I had the largest smile upon my face and just felt as if there is nothing greater than life itself. I was completely in love with life.

C said we should go into the Disney store in hopes of keeping me away from a bad trip. We walked in only to face a bunch of little children. We didn't stay long at all. It was a horrible idea.

We walked into Pacsun and boy was I relieved when I saw chairs. I quickly sat down. My legs were barely supporting me. All of a sudden, I remembered I had my iPod. I quickly pulled it out and put my headphones in my ears. I decided to listen to some Pretty Lights. The moment the music began playing, I was completely blown away. Emotions began flooding my body and I felt as if I was going to explode. I quickly yanked my headphones out. I decided to listen to The Beatles because that always puts me in a great mood. I was jammin' for what felt like 5 minutes until T wanted to have a listen. I gave him the headphones and he told me nothing was playing. I put them back on and I could still hear it. I wasn't sure if he was messing with me or if this was really happening. A asked me how I was feeling and I looked up at him. His shirt was melting into his skin and slowly expanding all over his body. I looked around and this began happening to everyone. I told them all and they just laughed.

It was about 7 P.M by this point. So we decided to leave the mall so we didn't miss out movie which began at 7:30. A drove C home and B went with them while T drove me and N back to T's house. We decided to meet up with A and B back at T's house.

On the ride back to T's house I was tossing my phone in the air and kept catching it until I missed and it fell on the floor of the car. I reached down to pick it up and I fell. I melted into the chair. I couldn't get up. We were all laughing extremely hard. T then drank the couple gulps left of the orange juice on the ride home since it was going to take a while for it to kick in.

We arrived at T's house and his dad was home. I kind of began to panic but it quickly went away. As soon as A and B arrived at T's house we left right away. At this point T, N and I were experiencing the powers of this psychedelic gift. Since T didn't feel comfortable driving, and we told him not to, A said he would drive.

On the ride to the movies, I forgot my name, my identity, who I was. I was just another living thing in this vast world. I asked my friends what my name was and they all laughed. They thought I was joking and just laughed. I asked again and they said my name. The moment I heard my name I froze. My mind rushed with memories: of my childhood, my parents, my siblings, my family. I felt as if I relived my entire life in a matter of seconds. I realized that I really miss my country of birth and want to go back for a visit.

We arrived at the movie theater and payed for our tickets. I went to use the restroom. As soon as I walked out, I was looking down. The carpet was moving. It was waving to me and kept changing forms. I'm not really sure how to explain it but, it was crazy yet beautifully amazing. T and N were seeing the same thing and we all shared a laugh.

We were watching Paul. We entered the movie theaters and decided to get front row seats. I was finding it extremely hard to keep up with what was going on. I wasn't sure what was going on. I began to look around the room and the walls were wavy like the ground you see during a hot summer day. I then looked back at the movies and I felt like my reality shattered. I was no longer on Earth. I was in the movie. Every time the characters had felt joy so did I. If they were scared so was I. I'm not sure how to explain the others things that were happening as well so I'll just leave it at that.

We left at about 9:30 or so and all went back to T's house. When we got there his parents were sleeping so I felt relieved. A and I played a game of pool. I was horrible at it but I just love the game so I had a good time. The effects of the shrooms were slowly fading away. I went on T's laptop after the game of pool and decided to play some Donkey Kong Country online. At about 10:30, A and B left and T dropped N and I at our homes. I got home, couldn't sleep so I just played some video games. The effects were basically completely gone by this point.

Overall, it was by the most craziest yet amazing experience of my entire life. I realize that my settings weren't probably the greatest for me especially since it was my first time. However, I had a great time and look forward to doing shrooms again someday. This has been my first trip report so, it probably isn't that great but, I do hope you enjoyed reading it.

I'm very happy that this didn't go much worse, given the setting. I'm surprised you would eat your first mushroom dose in a crowded mall with a whole bunch of people like that, after your questions and research . . . at least now you know firsthand the power they hold If you want a much richer experience, eat them alone or with one or two good friends on them as well, outside in nature, no babylon. They bring you back to your genetic roots, to your green ancestry. You'll see the difference!

 

Awesome first trip report!

Some great imagery and it was very descriptive, I definitely relate with a lot of it and you touched on the setting being an issue which is the only thing about the report that made me sigh a bit. Sounds like you had an amazing and powerful experience, hopefully writing this trip report will help elicit some of the memories and feelings of the experience for you.

 

I truly had a good time. Parts of the movie kind of scared me but, it was a very unique experience. Next time I would for sure like to do more. Maybe go on a picnic by the beach with some best friends?

 

Cool report

I'm glad things went well for you given the environment you were in. I always find that I have a fascinating trip when i'm outside surrounded by nature..it really puts you in-tune with your 'surrondings'. you gotta try it man! Lay in the grass

 

Awesome, I enjoyed your trip report! :2thumbsup: I agree with the others, you should definetely have shrooms in a calmer environment next time, especially if you plan to have a higher dose. The experience will be more enjoyable and easier to handle (well, at least, there will be less stuff to freak you out).

 

Sounds like you had an awesome time!
