Psilocybin Mushroom Experiences

[inefficiency]

Heres a nice new thread to post any experiences you have had with Psilocybin Containing Mushrooms. Here is a link to the erowid entry: http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms.shtml

I have taken Psilocybin Mushrooms many times over the years and although I never do them regularly, I've had many interesting trips form them and consider them a "favourite drug" for me. The first time I took mushrooms was definately an interesting experience that is getting entered here:

It was around fall when I bought 30g of very potent mushrooms from a friend of mine and began planning to take them. I went to a buddy's house and we decided we would take them now, walk to another mate's house, and when we get there they should kick in.

I grabbed a handful of mushrooms and put them in my mouth. I chewed them up and washed them down with some vanilla coke. We shared the mushrooms 50/50 and headed for the door.

As soon as I stepped outside I felt different. I wasn't tripping at all, but I knew that they were sneaking up on me. You can't describe the feeling, but you know that they're coming. We made hasty tracks.

We got to my mate's house and sat down inside, and that is when the mushrooms began to take effect. He had a large mirror in his house, and everytime I looked into it - everything was different on the other side, even though when I looked around the room everything was normal. After tripping at the mirror for a bit, we decided to go for a walk. As we headed for the door, I noticed that it looked like something out of a cartoon. The door was thin at the bottom and really wide at the top, and I imagined Bugs Bunny coming through it at any moment.

After making it outside, we just began walking. We walked past a cinema and it's walls glowed yellow and purple and stood out in the dark Autumn air. It was probably around 9pm and we had no idea where we were going, just walking. We walked up the side of the cinema and down an old cobbled alleyway behind it. The whole alley was pitch black, and we couldn't see a thing, apart from one piece of grass growing up through the gutter - glowing neon green. After staring at the bright green grass in the otherwise black alley for a bit, we kept walking.

After a fairly uneventful 5 minutes we made it to the river.
Once we got there, we must have sat and stared at the lights on the other side for hours. During the course of the trip I must've smoked 20-40 cigarettes. I don't know why, I just enjoyed the feeling of the smoke and kept lighting up. Just when sitting at the riverside couldn't get any more beautiful - a solitary white swan appeared out of nowhere, right in front of us the the water. Being in full grasp of the substances coursing through our bodies, we were speechless.

We finally left the riverside to buy more cigs. By this time, everything we said had meaning. We felt like great philosophers! Everything we talked about felt so meaningful. We managed to trace a choccy biscuit back tot he creation of the Earth. It was insane.

Walking down the road at 11pm, heading to the 24/7 Petrol station to get more tabs, we felt invincible. Nothing can describe the happiness we felt and how indestructable the mushrooms made us feel.

Overall, the trip had more feelings to it than actual visuals. As we followed the road, it seemed to be wiggly - but in reality we knew it was straight. Also, lights were a lot brighter and colours appeared more vibrant - with slight tracers every now and again. The things we talked about I can't even remember, but the trip an amazing experience.

The trip wore off as we were walking back from the garage with our cigs, and it felt kinda sad. It was disappointing that this great feeling was leaving you - but we made the most of it. We sat on a bench and had a few cigarettes and talked fow a bit before retiring home to bed.

I would definately reccomend trying out mushrooms with a small group of close friends. 3 or 4 people in the group max. You will never see things the same again...



EDIT: If anyone wants any further details about the experience, jsut ask and I will be happy to post them up. Also, I have a wealth of other mushrooms experiences that can be typed up when I have the time.

hey this being my first ever post im not to sure about how good it will be so bare with me .

the first and only time  i took magic mushrooms was about 7th months ago.
It was a friday night and  i had an important game of footy the next morning so had decided  i would not drink at this gathering that  i was at .

This was very boring until i remebered  i had some mahic mushrooms in my bag that i had picked earlier that day after givving them out evenly ( i had about 4 more than everybody else)  we each made a tea and then waited....

after about an hour we were all convinced that these shrooms were bogus (as we new nothing about the come up and how long it takes to kick in back then) so we went outside and played some basket ball we got really into it then things got abit different suddenly  i could dunk the basketball which i have never been able to do (not sure if this was the effects of the mushrooms) please tell me wat you think about that??? after basketball eveyone was puffed and decide to go back to  the house to grtab some drinks ( i had decided to drink after all ) haha .

on the walk back the psychadelic effects started to kick in everything was changing colour . it would go from normal fadeee... to black and white which made me feel as if  i was in the movie sin city and at times was convinced i actually was other colours experienced were blue and red this to me was unreal.

after a while seemed like nothing more was going to happen so we dicided to smoke some grass. but needed hose for the bong.

My mate lives in one of those little realistates which riminded me of where harry potter lived in one of his movies  so now  i was convinced that  i was harry potter haha . after geting chassed by some guy for not just cutting a peice  hose off  but taking the whole reel i came out of a bush and was right under a street light and was like WTF its day time and was wondering weather i had missed my footy game and where  i was ect then after about 10 minutes  i looked outside of the area the light was shining upon and came back to reality this gave me quite a laugh. after sat in a carpark and smoked around 10 bongs or so i decided to go sit by the lake ,

i started to trip like a BITCH everything was fast forward i couldnt stop it i would try and move slow but it was immpossible  i tryed showing my friends but they just looked at me as to say u are retarted  they teased me so i chased them but could no catch them then sat back by the lake but when i talked about they chase they insisted they had no idea what  i was talking about to this day i dont no weather it really happened .

later on we were play fighting and  i fell over ... i thought it would be a good gag to pretend  i was dead  (seemed funny at the time) so i tried to stop breathing n shit . then i actually couldnt breath , hear , talk or move it was as if the was a sheet of class between the people jumping ontop of me trying to snap me out of it and myself . i couldnt hear them yelling or feel them grabbing me but  i could see it . i was convinced  i was dead ( i still think thats was it would feel like to be dead ) i was fighting so hard to snap out of it when i did  i jumped out so quickly started running and burste into tears yelkling and screaming . after that for hours after i feelt as if  i was falling back into that state and evertime  i did my eyes would roll into the back of my head and would stop listening to the girl trying to keep me consious . i continued to trip all throughout the night . some things  i experienced were the grim reaper running towards me in a reflection if a very large window, the girl comforting me totally changed into another girl i no AMAZING,

after this state  of mind  i could only walk backwards , and had to look at my friend the whole time otherwise  i would drift away,

this was halerious when my dad picked me up after  i made my friends call him i reversed myself accross the back seats and sat. i started talking to my mum about how she was and how her day had been until my dad interrupted and informed me that mum was not in the car and that she was home in bed . after this  i tried my best to keep my mouth shut .

while in the car i was still tripping hard and realised that  i was no longer in the car with a friend and my farther but with a whole other family in a richer car (bmw) and when arrived at the house it was huge !! but when i hoped out of the car i realised that nope still all the same , i backed my way down the hall way and into my room where  i felt alot more comfortable and safe this is when the fading out of consiouness stopped . i sat on my bed and ate 2 loafs of bread and drunk about 20 classes of water my friend watching me the whole time .

feeling better ?? she would ask , i would say yer abit but when i looked at her her face would warp ( very simular to the scene in fear and loathing where the man gives DUKE his parking ticket)

after an hour or so i was feeling alot better but by now it was 5:30 in the morning I HAD FOOTY IN 3 HOURS . i rocked up to the game and felt like a totally different person with a very different state of mind than i had had in the past . i still had a buzz and coulours were still very abnormal .

after playing one of the better games of my life kicking 5 and getting best on ground (afl by the way forgot some of you will have no idea wat im on about) i went home .

for three months after this experience  i researched other peoples experiences but couldnt find one very simular to mine , i also did hours of reasearch on quantim physics and dreaming catching ect each night . i wondered wat was real what happenens when you die this has come an obsession of mine (any interesting research or peoples opinions on these subjects would be very much appreatiated as  i am very interested)

thanks alot for reading sorry if  i dragged on and it did not interest u much but  i felt as if  i had to get it all written down.

your thoughts and opinions on my trip would be appretiated
(e.g do u think the feeling i experienced was just a bad trip or something alot more serious???)

WaNgStEr peace.
