It was about a week after my first ever trip on acid and after much searching i had finally found some shrooms
I had been searching for shrooms for many months
with no luck. After deciding that I was never going to find them I
decided to go ahead and drop some acid instead. My first trip on
acid was amazing and I was very excited to trip again. About a week
after my first trip I recieved a call from my friend tom telling me
that he had a whole bunch of magic mushrooms. I met him later that
night and bought $125 dollars worth of shrooms: an eighth for my self,
and eighth for my friend Al and 2.5 grams for my cousin P who had never
tripped before.
We had decided that we would trip the next night
when my cousin and I would be staying at my aunts house and my friend
Al would sneek out and meet us. The whole day before the trip, P and I
ate nothing but a small bowl of cereal, a little bit of fruit, and
juice. At 10:00 that night, P and I took a vitamin C pill to intensify
the trip. At 10:30 we took another vitamin C pill, dimmed the lights,
played some trance and consumed our mushrooms. We listened to music and
walked around my aunts basement while we waited for the first effects
to kick in. After about 15 minutes we sat down and I started to see the
chair and door infront of me moving around. after about 25 minutes I
could tell that the trip was going to be very intense. At first my trip
came on very intense and i had lots of built up negative energy and was
almost unable to move at all. My cousin P began to become very
disoriented and started saying nonsensical things over and over like "I
think I'm licking my tounge, am I licking my tounge?". Finally i
realized that there was really nothing to worry about and my bad trip
started to go away and I embraced the wonderful body high and visions
of the mushrooms. I saw kalidoskope patterns all over the walls and
ceiling and the moving fan looked amazing. After listening to pink
floyd for a while me and my cousin decided that the music made the trip
too intense and turned it off.
My friend Al called us and said that he had just
eaten his mushrooms and was now sneeking out of his house to come and
meet us. Going outside to meet Al seemed almost impossible because it
was so hard to move around. P and I talked and laughed for a while
while we waited for Al to arrive. Everything around us seemed to be
wiggling around and the colors became very vibrant as they had on my
previous trip on lsd. Finally Al called again and said that he was near
my aunts house. P and I snuck out the back door of the basement and ran
towards the path in the woods where Al was waiting. We ran at Al
who was now tripping hard and scared him half to death, then we
continued running down the path across some stepping stones. The woods
at night looked simply amazing and all of the leaves of the trees
looked like floating faces. By this time I was convinced that I was a
panda bear and when ever anyone would call me by my name, I would
answer "nope. My name is Panda Bear." Al, P, and I continued walking
down the wooded path and after talking to a branch that seemed to be
alive I remembered that we had left the basement door open and decided
that we should go back. P and Al didn't want to go inside yet but I
felt like I wanted to be by myself anyways so I told them that I was
going to go back to the house. I ran back inside and went into the
bedroom, took off my shirt and started talking to some stuffed animals
and my ipod in a euphoric state much like a small child. I then called
my friend Liv and talked with her for a while asking if Al and P were
with her even though they obviously were not. Finally Al and P came
back inside, leaving the door open again.
P, Al, and I all sat around and talked about how
much we loved mushrooms and about how we all felt for a while and
watched my strobe light in amazement. P and I decided that Al should go
home so that if our aunt came down we wouldn't get in trouble. It took
a long time for Al to finally leave because it seemed so hard to finish
any task. After he finally left P and I sat around and watched all the
moving objects and shapes for a while longer and decided that since the
effects of the mushrooms were not as intense anymore we should smoke
some marijuana to bring the peak back. P turned the shower on all the
way hot so that the bathroom would fog up and turned on the fan;
meanwhile I packed a big bowl and made sure my aunt was still asleep.
After we smoked the first bowl the trip had started to come on harder
but the feeling was different than when we were just on the
mushrooms. We smoked another big bowl and by that time we were
tripping even harder than we had been at our peak.
After we were done smoking, i decided to take a
shower with no lights on in the pitch black. This turned out to be the
most incredible, intense, and terrifying experience of my life. Once I
turned off the lights and stepped into the shower i almost immediately
lost all sense of direction and started spinning around in circles. It
was then that I started seeing intense swirling visions of walls made
of mouths, tounges growing off of tounges, eyeballs, faces and other
strange things. It no longer made a difference whether my eyes were
open or closed. As I was spinning around trying to figure out which
direction I was facing and seeing these crazy hallucinations I broke
into uncontrollable histerical laughter. At this point I knew that I
was experiencing the most crazy thing I had ever experienced in my life
so I kept pushing it further and further. I kept pushing it further
making the hallucinations grow stronger and laughing harder until i
finally past limit. I began to hear insane laughing in my head and
sirens that would get louder and louder and more intense untill it
would fade for a little and then come back. I invisioned myself as a
boy and watched myself grow up although the life i saw myself go
through was not actually my life and the young man that I saw myself as
was not actually myself. I forced myself to try and concentrate enough
to finish my shower, figure out which direction I was facing, get out
of the shower and turn on the light. I then looked into the mirror and
saw my crazed face still laughing histerically in an almost frightening
way. As I looked into the mirror i invisioned myself fighthing myself
and started punching towards the mirror without actually hitting it. I
felt as though I was both myself beating the life out of another person
and the other person looking up at me while I beat the life out of
them. Although I never actually hit myself or the mirror I felt like I
had actually hurt someone. I would still hear the raging laughter,
sirens, and low and high frequencies going on and off and I felt as
though I had gone insane.
I left the bathroom and went back into the bedroom
where P was waiting and sat down. When he started to talk to me it
seemed impossible to pay attention to what he was saying and the longer
he would talk the louder I would hear the laughing and sirens. P began
to look like a bronze android and I started to freak out but kept my
cool because I knew that he was still himself and not really an
android. It now was almost impossible for me to do anything even talk
because of the repeated insane sounds and hallucinations. I was seeing
spirals and it seemed that my vision was a picture within a picture
withing a picture ect. I felt trapped within my mind and worried that I
had serioiusly gone insane and that i would still be crazy even after I
started tripping. I picked up my guitar and started playing which
calmed me down for a little while but every 2 minutes or so the insane
sounds and visions of tounges and eyeballs would return. I sat in my
bed for what literally seemed like eternity and the insanity never
ended. After feeling hopelessly insane for who knows how long I finally
fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning, to my relief, the
insanity had stopped and although the insane experience had not been
enjoyable it still seemed very exciting and cool.
My first experience with magic mushrooms was overall
a very magical and wonderful experience. I will most definately trip on
shrooms again in the future although next time I'm not sure if I will
mix it with marijuana again. Shrooms open you up to new realms of the
human mind and are something I think everyone should experience.
