 My first trip report. 7 grams dried.

This will be my first time making a trip report. I will make it as easy to follow as possible. Thank you for reading.
Yesterday (March 3rd 2008) my buddy Taylor and I picked up some psilocybin mushrooms. We got 11.5 grams altogether. Originally we had planned on waiting a couple days but then we just decided to eat them right away. Sometimes its hard to be patient.
These mushrooms were real clean. They were hydroponically grown. Long stems with small to medium sized caps. Real fuckin tasty.
Now I have eaten mushrooms close to 10 times. Eating anywhere from 3.5 to 4 grams every time. A standard dose I guess they say. Before this Taylor had eaten mushrooms only twice. Both times not having what one could call a 'fun' trip. He got that real mind fuck his first two times. No laughing involved. This time though, he rather enjoyed himself. We have both taken acid and love it dearly. Now - on with the story.
e
The set and setting had been chosen. We were going to Fort Desoto Park. For those unfamiliar it is the southern most tip of Pinellas County, Florida. An incredible place. Words and pictures can not do it justice. But here goes.
We ate them on the way to the Fort. I ate 7 grams dry which is almost twice as much as I've ever taken. Taylor took 3.5 grams. Washed it down with water and Gatorade. Finished eating at 4:30 p.m.
When we got there we parked and were both having a fantastic body high. Extreme confront all the way around. Perfect timing, we decided, to smoke some marijuana. This was some quality weed. Dude calls it 'heaven'. I find that humorous. It felt great in my chest.
After that we decided to get out of the car. The next thing was to figure out where we wanted to go. I found it amazing at this point that the only thing to worry about was which way we wanted to go. This gave me some kind of inner peace ... if even for a moment. This is where things became weird.
We decided to walk straight ahead into this huge field with palm trees and beach grass. It looked so appealing at first. About 20 feet into the field, after I was sure he was feeling similar, I said "This is not that fun". This is not how I usually feel on the come up of a mushrooms trip. At this point I knew it wasn't going to be a typical trip. I began to get slightly nervous. I knew I shouldn't be.
Now - I'm not really sure where it all started but at some point shortly after we got out of the moving vessel I felt the journey taking an odd turn. We sat down on some bleachers (which we found to be strange and out of place) that were aiming toward the field we had originally planned on walking. I was focusing on negative things and I did not want to. That is not my style, not at all. I remember at this point sitting in the bleachers that "I am in for the long run". I remember feeling slightly helpless because it wasn't going how I wanted and it was too late to look back. I know that some of the best lessons come when things don't go the way you'd hoped, but at the time it was difficult to hang. A new feeling for me.
Taylor wanted to move on. He was right. We walked toward the fishing pier and beach area. Walking was tough. My legs felt funny and I kinda felt like I was learning to walk again. I had these feelings that people were looking at me funny. This feeling lasted for quite a while.
Strolling down the beach we decided to take a seat in the sand. Shortly after I realized we were surrounded by fucking seagulls. Now for the record I hate seagulls. I know, I know.. love all livings and shit but damn... this goes deep. One time at the beach as a little kid a seagull swooped down and stole my sammich right out of my hand. I will never let that die. On top of that; they are loud and annoying and they shit everywhere. (sounds kind of like some people I've met).
After I made it clear that I want to get get the fuck out of there Taylor calmly tells me "Don't be negative". I went silent. I tried real hard not to be. Didn't work - I could not chill with these dreaded seagulls. They were all staring at me and I swear they were mocking me. This was probably all in my head but at the time I was sure those niggas were taunting me. Crazy shit.
As our journey continued down the beach I found it uncomfortable when people approached. Taylor acknowledged that. He said it was obvious. It's hard to be serious in this world sometimes, ya know?
We sat again. This time on an old piece of fort. It was neat. It seemed that I couldn't get very far without the desire to stop again. My laziness was very apparent to me. But so was every negative thing I can think of.
At this point when I was walking the ground was popping out to me. Very much like one of those holographic books where it looks to be coming closer to you. I had never had anything like this. The sand dunes in the distance were doing the same thing. I very much enjoyed this.
Laying in the sand looking straight up into the deep blue sky was humbling. It always is though right. The visuals were simply outstanding. Nothing like it before.
Now - during some of this little walk down the beach Taylor had an iPod in one ear. It didn't bother me but oh how I wish I have an iPod now. That thing gave me LIFE. Taylor had seen how down I was and this is nothing he had ever seen of me in this state. As I was laying there looking into the sky with all these thoughts about death and the pointlessness of life and how fucking quiet the universe can be sometimes... Taylor hands me the iPod and tells me to listen to that. It was good ol' "Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower." Wow. Just wow. It put me in awe of how fast music can change your mood. Not that I didn't already know this. Mood is an understatement. It changed my head from all the evil thoughts I can come up with to the most beautiful ones of life and happiness.
It went from I wanted to die to make it all stop to realizing, in a sense, the classic saying "Good things really do happen" . Before that point I wasn't so sure they did anymore. This is how I truly felt to the bottom of my soul. Or whatever you want to call it. I had these thoughts of gratefulness for the friends that I have. I couldn't let go of how nice it was that he came off his music to give to me because he knew I was down.
Music is life. Thats what I came up with. On some real shit. Now - I knew this before but not to the level that I do now. I guess that is one thing mushrooms do - deepen your appreciation for things you may have already appreciated. I like it.
As I was listening to Jimi we were posted on the shoreline sitting facing the sunset. Unfuckingbelievable. It just melted the sky away. A perfect painting - that is what I saw. It fell behind the water like it hadn't happened billions of times. Strongly recommended to all.
After the sunset I think I started to get a grip on my shit. Things were looking up now no matter how much I thought they wouldn't ever. The clouds behind us were top-notch. They were fading away like Michael Jordan in his prime. I could see their flow and oh how sweet it was. I can never look at clouds the same.
At this point I realized I could go for a cigarette. We didn't have any. Taylors friend Andrew met up with us. A real cool dude. Plus , he brought Newports which was clutch. What a cigarette that was.
The night sky was unlike any I had ever seen. Being on the southern most tip of Pinellas County there was minimal light pollution to fuck with the view. I could see the patterns in the constellations. I could see how more primitive people used to make shit out of them and worship it. I can't stress enough how many stars were out. There was a star for everywhere there wouldn't normally be a star it seemed. This was the shit that makes life worth living to me sometimes.
Eventually we got out of there and departed with Andrew. We headed to The palm tree place where we stayed and collected our thoughts for a while. We spent the remainder of the trip cruising around downtown St Petersburg looking at everything. Driving through the rich neighborhoods admiring all the castles on the water discussing how we could have that if we do the 'right' things.
After that Taylor dropped me off. It was now 11 p.m. It had only been 6 and a half hours since 4:30 but it sure did feel like a lifetime.
Overall a fucking magnificent day. I'll tell you hhwhatt... I think I learned a lot from this experience but I still have much to sort out. I apologize again for it may have been difficult to follow. Thank you for reading my story and safe tripping!

Sounds like an amazing trip dude! 
Music can definitely have a strong influence over your mood and the trip. Bringing an ipod wherever you go while tripping is always a good idea. Glad to hear Jimi helped you conquer your fears.

It was a great read, man. I envy you, for I have no beach or anything like it near me in Tennessee. I plan on eating 70 grams fresh for my next trip, which surely will be somewhat different than 7 dry grams, but still. I presume it will be the last trip for a while, heh. Tis what I seek, but have yet to find in mushrooms.

Thank you very much for the responses. They are appreciated.
Huge doses of mushrooms is fucking crazy. I will go back and maybe even bigger. There are things I still need to learn.

I guess shrooms grown indoors are commonly called 'hydroponic', even if it wasn't in water. They were grown inside. That is what I should have said.

Sounds like a sweet trip... what a great setting. That could possibly be one of the top settings to trip in IMO... a good sunset on a "tropical" beach. Lucky!

I feel sorry for any of you who can't normally see the stars of the night sky because of light pollution. That's gotta suck. hydro shrooms threw me a good laugh, but I understand what yer saying now.

Long trip report, but cool. Hendrix while tripping is nothing short of divine; I also have seen his paintings.
