I feel like I had one of the best introductions into the world of psychedelics a guy can get. This actually happened almost two years ago, during the summer before my junior year of high school. Me and my best friend decided that we wanted to trip hard, despite it being my first time. So we end up both pitching some cash on a half ounce of nice caps. We decided that one day when the weather cooperated, we would eat the shrooms and hike to the peaks of the appalachain mountains near where we live (east jersey). Sure enough the day came when there was just the right combination of sunlight and clouds, and just the right temperature. We both munched down on a quarter ounce each and began the 30 minute drive down to the trail. I remember them kicking in pretty quickly, like during the last 10 minutes of the car ride. When we arrived we got our backpacks on began the 45 minute climb to the top. (on a side note, we brought plenty of food, ipods, water, gatorade, about 2.5g of dank, lighters, our cell phones, and um... thats about it i guess. It's actually a very physically challenging climb to the top, many people i've climbed it with have had to stop about a third of the way and go back down to the car.) So anyways, i'm just beginning to trip balls, and i'm in a VERY visually stimulating environment. Bear in mind i'm surrounded by a bunch of different species of ancient-looking freakin trees... complete with "God Rays" pouring through the cracks between the leaves. There is an amazing view of the Delaware River throughout almost the entire climb up that just gets better the higher you go. When we got pretty much to the top we encountered these other two people who looked like they were pretty chill. we had decided beforehand that if we see chill people we would smoke them up with on some of jerseys finest dank so we ask them if they want to smoke a blunt with us and they say yes so that was pretty amusing after this we get to our chill spot facing west where the sun goes down we smoke another blunt about thirty minutes after the one before with those dudes. were passing it back and forth as the sun is setting over the valley beyond us with the delaware river beneath us. at this point of our adventure im pretty much tripping major balls getting intense visuals seeing all kinds of faces and pictures in the leaves above me. I felt like a little hobbit from lord of the rings on a magical journey through the forest haha... so im at the peak of my trip as the sun goes down which turns into the most divine sunset i"ve ever seen the whole time me and my friend were having deep conversations and just laughing about various things. hes been my best friend since fourth grade and the atmosphere was just perfect that day so we spend like another hour just chillin at the top and then we decide to run back down to the car as fast and as effeciently as possible the trail is very steep and full of rocks and roots and odd obstacles to overcome. this is one of the reasons it is so physically challenging and me and my friend are running pretty fucking fast down this huge ass mountain. we both played varsity soccer for years so we were in pretty good shape and the running really wasnt a problem but all the rocks and roots were imagine sprinting full speed down a steep ass hill with gravity on your side and having to think incredibly fast about where you can place your feet. some parts of the trail are just rocks so sometimes you step on a loose one and have to readjust your balance last minute before you take your next step. if one of us would have fallen during any time of this we would have been completely fucked because we were just going that fast when we finally get to the car we take a breather and smoke a joint in the car before our drive home. i remember hearing the song obsessed by mariah carey on the way home on the radio i was still tripping pretty damn hard and basically as high as a guy can get and this song on the radio blew my mind. i listen to stuff like nine inch nails, karnivool, third eye blind, tool, he is legend, chiodos and stuff like that and i was totally diggin this mariah carey song. in fact to this day i truly like that song just because of that experience so then my friend comes to my house and hangs out for a few hours while we just chill and what not. i end up playing guitar and getting that christmas morning feeling you get your like eight and santa just came. im really feelin guitar and then my friend plays bongo drums on my guitar case and we make a little mini band. twas chill indeed so all in all it was just a perfect welcome into the world of mushies. i never once got any bad vibes or had any bad thoughts. i remember smiling about one thing or another literally the entire time. since then ive probably tripped like eight or nine times and ive never gotten any bad vibes well thats about it i guess thanks for reading. i wrote this really high so sorry if some parts are weird or dont make sense
Lol I care man. I care xD trip reports are actually sweet to read when you have time and imagination.. or weed Mushrooms are amazing in nature though eh? With all those rays coming through the trees on a mountain must've felt spiritual. I went to a mountain for the first time 3 days ago, and it was amazzzing. I wasn't even tripping, but half the time thats what I was wishing. Good to know they're good places to trip. Not sure if you have lookouts in your mountains, but that would be sick to see tripping. And you went down a steep hill on shrooms hahah, that must've been trippy shit. It's impossible to stop once you start going. Racing your eyes constantly looking for a place to put your feet, while still moving. Nice way to end your trip btw. Me and my friends always end our trips with a joint of hydro... or by walking hours to get to one.
