Friday Night Trip

Well, at this point in my life, I had had about 3 mushroom trips, 10+ acid trips, 5 or so DMT experiences, and waaaaaaaay too many experiences to count involving DXM, ketamine. IT was a friday, last friday in fact(nov. 28, '97) and me and my friend jess both were going to buy an eighth. We each gave Brett(a friend who was hooking us up with mushrooms)$25 for an 1/8 each. At about 2:00 in the afternoon, I went out of class as jess had gotten the mushrooms. He had two little bags, mine was nearly all powder, his nearly all stems. I had a bit of a cap though. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was less than an eighth, but I knew that I wouldn't be given any more so I didn't make anything of it. At about 2:30 I left school with My friend's girlfriend Lacy. We went out for coffee and talked for about two hours. When she left, I went into another coffee shop and saw a couple of my friends. My friend Jess had taken half his eighth, and given the remaining mushrooms to tom, a friend of his. At this point, I sat down and talked with people. At about 5:30, my herbalist walked in and I bought 1.25 grams of marijuana. I left at 6:00. As I came home on the bus it was already quite dark, a nice night for shrooming. I got home at 6:30 and had two pieces of pizza and a can of diet coke. I spent the rest of the evening wishng that I had stayed out as everyone was havng a good time without me. At 9:00, I began to grind up the stems in a Braun coffee grinder and then dump them into a pot. I put all the powder, and rubbed off some of the residue, and put it in the pot. I then filled it with water, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. At 9:30, I put the pot on the stove and let it boil for about ten minutes. Then, I took the liquid down into my room and sat the pot on my desk as I rolled up a small spliff, not enough to get me very stoned, but evnough for a buzz. I didn't want to be too stoned, as my mom might see me and blow my cover, and then the whole evening. I got home at 9:55, and began to drink the tea down at 10:00. I turned on the tube and watched the simpsons. As I watched, I began to get clues that I was high. By 10:30, I was tripping. I went upstairs onto the internet, and I remember laughing at nothing at all, and seeing festive patterns and discarnate entities everywhere, like the ones I see on DMT. At this point, I took a bath in the dark. This was fun. I saw situations playing out on the dark walls, like in a flip book. It seemed very animated. At about 11:30, I felt myself coming down. By 12:00, the hallucinations had pretty much stopped. I then watched TV until about 12:30, when I fell asleep. After falling asleep, I had some VERRRY vivid dreams. The day after, I smoked up again, and it brang back many of the psilocybin FX.

alltogether, it was cool, but mushrooms have been rather boring to me lately, except at high doses and when combined with the harmala alkaloids.
