I wanna preface this with some context that way I don’t waste your time with a big story that wasn’t about what you were actually looking for. In total I took 7 grams of shrooms and had a great experience. I did experience a short amount of psychosis if you’re interested in reading into someone else’s story as well.

So this past weekend I decided I was ready to try mushrooms, so a buddy of mine and I had gotten together and planned a night. When we got together we had done a couple of dabs just to chill out and relax before we started. This was roughly around 9p. At about 10:30p we took 3 grams. By about 11:45p I was feeling almost tipsy like I had a few shots but I knew I wasn’t drunk and suddenly giggly as hell. We started to listen to music and the only noticeable change for me was the slight body high. Around 12:30a I began to notice small but very cool visuals, things like the textures on my phone screen would glitch and same on the tv. The walls and ceiling began to have slight breathing movements in them. At this point I began to have very inquisitive thoughts. Almost intrusive, the thoughts I had almost didn’t make sense but they did. Almost as if I said it out loud I’d be like wtf and my friend would probably have thought the same but in my head it made sense. Not bad thoughts just dumb self reflecting thoughts, questions I had never asked before etc.. at about 1:30a we thought we were at our peak and wanted a little more so we had taken another gram just to bump it a little. Once we made it to about 2:00a we had thought that we peaked off of what we had taken and kinda wanted to go back. Little did we know that was definitely not the case the peak was yet to come. So thinking we had not peaked we took 3 more grams. Then putting us at the 7 total grams. The next 30 minutes felt like almost 2 hours but none the less it was 30 minutes I thought that nothing was going to happen and that we were on our come down and that these weird thoughts and drunk feeling was still apart of the come down. So we decided to sit on the floor and play simpsons monopoly because why not. That was an event in itself, we kept forgetting what we had rolled and giving change for bills was incredibly hard but it was all funny and hilarious. That’s one thing I didn’t mention enough this whole time I’m giggling, I felt so happy and full of laughter this whole time. After a little while of monopoly we had turned on kill bill vol. 1 this was probably at 3:30a. While watching the movie we started peaking like actually peaking during the first fight scene. Amazing colors started flowing from the characters clothes, then their arms became the very vivid triangles and they started to float away from their bodies. After seeing that I look to my friend and he’s looking at me and we just started repeating “I’m tripping so hard man”, and “that hit like a wall”. I remember looking around the room and at my arms and they looked like a water color painting and everything was almost fuzzy. Then we both had looked back up at the tv and finished watching this scene and the tv suddenly had gone quiet and he said that he experienced this as well like while it was happening. The tv goes silent and there’s this insane loud beeping in the house and we could almost hear a voice saying a name but we couldn’t remember what the name was right after we had heard it and we almost sobered up for a second. In that split second of being sober we had paused the movie grabbed a water and turned music back on and it’s like we went right back in but not as intense it was just very crazy looking colors and warping patterns around the room. I then became a little scared because of the overwhelming thing I had just experienced that I couldn’t explain. So I was now looking at my friend and I don’t know how to explain it other than this but I felt my self subconsciously questioning his intentions and so I felt a need to separate myself from him. So the first thing I could think of was I am tired and I now need to go to bed. He shut all of the lights off and went upstairs and I laid down on the couch. I am laying there with my eyes closed still tripping pretty hard and I’m trying to not freak out in a way. I started having these scary thoughts and they kept repeating and I couldn’t get them out of my head. So I open my eyes to go get my friend and I look at my hands and they look burnt and that freaks me out even more. It is now probably 4:00a and I’m now actually coming down however I was still freaking out and I now feel like I can’t move from the couch. Idk why but my first instinct was to call my mom and thank god she answered because she was like a life saver in this moment (I feel like I should be embarrassed about this but I think it’s kinda funny actually and she did too). Hearing her voice calmed me down a lot more however I was still not doing okay so she ended up picking me up and drove me around until I came down and she talked me through it. Thankfully she is very laid back had been in a similar situation before at my age as well. While in this state of a “bad trip” I still had these very intense visuals and they weren’t necessarily scary but the fact that I was in this state of psychosis made it feel 10x scarier than it was. After I had been picked up my visuals were pretty much gone and I was just trying to regain my feel for like real life again. Then when she brought me back to the house i was at my friend and I had discussed what we heard and saw and we both agreed in that moment of loud silence at our peak that we felt the presence of something else almost or this warm embrace that we had never felt before. I am very interested to know if there’s any connection there or if anyone else had an experience like this or still does. It doesn’t scare me away from this either I want to take another trip soon maybe just less of a dosage so it’s not so overwhelming and next time we will def have a trip sitter. Overall I enjoyed all of it, I mean I didn’t love how I felt while in the bad trip stage but it was almost something needed it was an eye opener for me in a very personal way.

I think that’s all I had to share I am typing this on my phone and the length of the text alone is causing my phone to glitch so I will be back with more details on my pc tomorrow.
