This trip was my first and only to date. I began with myself and one of my
closest friends ingesting a few dried caps and stems. We passed the next hour in
his basement which is a place that I always feel very comfortable and at home.
Soon after, I was still quite sure I felt nothing as we stepped outside into the
cool dark night for a smoke. I lit my cigarette and slowly exhaled. I soon
noticed that when I would bring it to my mouth and put it back down there were
trails. I grinned at my friend and accepted that my first trip was beginning.
After bumming around in his basement for another 20
min., we decided that a walk was in order. We strolled around his quiet suburban
neighborhood for 5 or 6 minutes, not getting very far. We then turned around
when we were hit with a beam of light. We weren’t sure what it was, but we
suspected cops. Upon closer inspection, our worst fears were confirmed, it was
cops. We disappeared into some foliage that was near the side of the road and
began making our way towards his back yard were we knew we would be safe. We
continued to traverse covertly towards his yard, we were about two steps away
when another closer beam hit us. It was a cop, but to our surprise he shook his
head and said something to the effect of just keep on truckin We quickly
retreated to the safety of his basement to plan our next move. We agreed that it
was strange that the cop had just let us run off like that. We pondered this
over a few more caps and then ventured back outside to see what all the
commotion was about. Sure enough there were more blue and red lights (we were
now quite giggly). After analyzing the situation for a few brief moments, we
came to the conclusion that his neighbors across the street were hosting a
medium sized party. Apparently someone had called the police, and there were
three cars there checking it out. The cop who had let us go obviously thought we
were a part of this party and was being cool by letting us go. We watched in
curiosity from the shadows of the driveway. We wanted to know what was going on,
but didn’t want to be involved. My tripmate then commented that it was
like interactive television That seemed to fit this segment of the trip
perfectly. As I said previously, we wanted to watch (the curiosity was eating us
alive) but we wanted no involvement with the police. We had no such luck. For
the third time that evening, we were hit by a beam of light. hi boys exclaimed a
cop who sounded like Mickey mouse. We walked towards the light that was blinding
our huge pupils and then explained our story to the cops (leaving out the fact
that we were tripping of course). It was soon cleared up and we adjourned back
to the basement for a couple stems, a smoke, and some lemonade and the COPS TOO
HOT FOR TV VIDEO. I remember thinking to myself how glad I was that our
encounter a few minutes ago would not be on the sequel.
We were still tripping and now feeling quite
adventurous. Things outside had died down now and we wanted some more
excitement. We set off for another walk. We headed for a familiar circle that we
have explored many times before on several other substances. Upon arrival, we
began seeing things we had never noticed before. We talked for a while about an
ugly addition that a neighbor had put on a house. We explored this circle for a
long while, discussing landscaping techniques and exploring pathways that we had
never seen before. It seemed like everything was beckoning us to learn and see,
to experience it and know more about it. (If I had been that curious in high
school I might have learned something.) We saw many things that night, we let
our thoughts take the lead and followed them wherever they went.
Back in the basement later, we spent a few sleepless
hours reflecting on our trip and other issues. I looked at the pattern on the
ceiling and saw it began to crawl and change patterns as I stared at it. That
was really the only visual experience I had during my trip. Then I fell asleep
content with my experiences. Overall I enjoyed my shrooming, I want to do it
again, with a larger dose next time.....Happy Trails !!!
