Damn man that sounds harsh. I actually have a belief (my only belief) that reality is non-existent or that we have yet to see reality. I get this though  that i died years ago or slipped into a coma sometimes. Just have to accept this

This post and others like it strongly illustrate my case that the five-level system used here should be re-written.  

The Level 1 - 5 system used here seems to be based on the four-level Shulgin rating scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shulgin_Rating_Scale)

The Shulgin system is much less detailed regarding the specifics of the experience, and as so, is both less valuable at classifying a certain trip-strength and more adaptable to other substances.  Most importantly, though, the Shulgin system, while it does save it for last, does not equate transcendental spiritual &/or cosmic experience with the strength of the trip, as this site's five-level system does.

The trip described here matches Level 5 in strength, and in absolutely no way in terms of what is described in the classification used here as "Satori enlightenment (and other such labels)" People regularly report life-changing experiences of union with God, reality, or a sense of enlightenment on low doses of psychedelics; even more often, people report hellish struggles with their own minds' projections on large doses.

I totally agree with Rewindicus and SleepyE. Psychadelics isnt just a 'high' to pass some time, they can change your life forever especially when you get bad trips on HUGE doses like 5grams. The more you consume the higher risks there is for a bad trip, not to mention if its your FIRST time. I feel you handled it better than your friends though. The kid that said 'lets have sex' may have said it jokingly to be funny, but when your tripping it's impossible to tell. He could of thought nothing was real anymore so he decided to get out of the closet, but whatever. Also the stupid dumbass kid that starting punching and hitting everyone wasnt mentally prepared at all for this experience, but who is when its your first time at 5gs? Anyway that kid probably wasnt even mentally stable for weed he should stay away from Psychadelics because this 'drug' isn't marijuana..there's actually a limit on how much you should take.. I mean what if that idiot punching kid had a gun? Everyone would be dead if he actually figured out how to use it lol. A gram is good for your first mushie trip. Play it safe because shrooms can be harmless or deadly depending on how you handle it.

think of psychedelics as a sharp tool, very good at getting things done/fixed, but if you haven't read the manual on how to use the tool your gonna get yourself CUT...... badly...

JESUS 5 grams each? LOL well you play with fire you get burned aye? You had a bad trip but it could have been worse i mean at least you werent raped right? In the future let this be a lesson for yourself and all the other kids who think they can take a big psychadelic dose and treat it like its a fuckin game. ITS NOT. Psychadelics are an amazing tool and could probably help you get over this in the future but you gotta respect the chems and know your boundries. Otherwise they kick your ass. Welcome to the world of psychadelics!

Cool story brah. now you can say that you know more about what your getting yourself into. But it would be a shame if you did not know the good side of mushrooms. I remember something to do with red and green lights on one of my bad trips, it's really weird. You will eventually forget the incident, give yourself time! All the time you need. You will eventually not be able to remember what was so bad about it, and from there you make your own decisions.

I don't mean to offend, but it sucks that you probably ruined a brilliant substance for yourself as well, since you probably will never be in a place where you'll want to try them again responsibly. Damn.

    Like a broken record and the other comments, you had that coming if you jump into mushrooms without any knowledge of what can happen.  I trip on the regular and 5 grams is a lot for anyone, let alone a a first timer.  Do your research next time...hopefully your brain forgives you and you can get past it.

Wow, the previous commenters are sort of correct. You didn't know what you were getting into, and should have been better informed. However, your "friends" certainly didn't help. What the fuck... I don't blame you for seeking help after that shit.

So I think a lot of it is your fault because you dosed so high/ didn't realize what you were getting into, but there's no way you could have known it would have gone so badly.


Hope things go better for you in the future..and that you get some better friends man...

LOL

this made me laugh...

You definitely shouldn't be taking any psychedelics if you believe you require psychiatric help afterwards haha....

in my experience level 5 mushroom trips ARE the psychiatric help :D

i think you have this report backwards duude...

Your own fault for taking a drug you know nothing about. 

Sorry it happened to you, but you could not have had a worse set and setting. I have had trips where I experienced what you did to some degree. The fear of being dead and alone or trapped in terrible simulation, but because I prepaired for this before hand I was able to deal with it. 

Taking 5 grams on your first trip is foolish and being as irresponsible as you were with no one sober to make sure you didn't do anything fucked up is even more foolish.

Best of luck.
