Peaked twice from one shroom adventure (trip)?

Hello my haven of shroomery companions. I've looked around for information regarding a shroom session I had last night that's a first time for me. First I'll let you know the events leading up to the unusual seeming occurance. Ok, after having a near catastrophic experience with LSD and salvia when I was a teenager I decided that i wasnt truly ready for psychedelics. So fast forward almost 10 years. After plently of inner contemplation and righting myself with my total outlook on everything in life I was ready to get back the enjoyment and wholeness psychedelic substances supply in such abundence. Ok so, it started 2 week ago with a minor dose of shrooms, probably a gram, and was a body buzz with nearly no head buzz. Next, after waiting one full day I tried again. This time I took around 1.5g and just more of the same with a slightly more expanded head buzz/high. So at this point I knew I had to jump in to this and stop just dipping my toe in, I mean the water wasn't cold I was just being extremely cautious. Though when your putting your sanity on the line (or at least think you are) caution is usually a good thing, though I've read and believe it can make an adventure go into a bad trip. The next day I decide I'm going to take a trip to Kissimmee state park and stay the night in a tent. Along with me I bring maybe 2g of my camping buddy and again, though the camping experience was very cathartic the shrooms again never passed body and head buzz. Ok, this is where I finally get the real deal. The next night at home I realize that everytime I've tried to shroom I've tried the tea or capsules, with dairy products being consumed within a 12 hour period before taken the shrooms. This time I took almost 2g and held the powder in my mouth for 5 minutes. Let me offer advice on this. Powdered shrooms expand, and remember they have to be swallowed. Nearly thought I was going to choke myself on a fully bloated mouth of saliva and swollen shroom powder. So not really expecting anything more than the same previous attempts I start to settle in. (the shroom powder is almost 2 and a half years old, so I'd started to think maybe they lost potentcy.). They didn't. About an hour later I was playing hexicHD on my xbox and I got this extreme sense of a universal being having a conversation with me, but only like an inner conscience kind of thing. It was like getting to meet up with a really old friend you never thought you'd ever see again. Pure happiness, nearly pure eurphoria. So after 30 minutes or so of this great inner convo contemplation of deep and mind expanding interaction I decided it was time to pit the controller down and watch a movie. Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. So that I can get to my question i'll just say that this was the best movie I've ever watched for visuals, "deep thinking", (come on, what do you expect when the movie has a computer the size of a skyscraper that's named Deep Thought." Needless to say a beautiful shroom adventure. There's more, I go back, after waiting a day. The next 2 back to back days I tried to get to this same level again. There seemed to be unfinished affairs to attend to plus I won't have as many opportunities to partake in the near future. But both of these times were reminescent of the body buzz and head high I experienced the first 2 times.
So, to the events of last night....maybe the most benefitful psychedelic experience I've ever had. After waiting one day from the last attempt I decided to up the dose to probably close to 2.5g. Oh, if your wonderig about the seemingly low dose amounts thinking that's why so many failed attempts at a high level experience keep in mind I'm only 115 lbs and my metabolism is like a rabbits. Plus just overall I am extemely sensitive to hallunicigens from taking binges and large doses as a teenager. Off subject but a recent understanding I've noticed is the more aware of the effects of mind expanding substances the more sensitive I become to them. 2.5g down the hatch..... Come up 15 minutes, plateau at 50 minutes, and after 1 and a half hour peaking nicely. Closed eyed visuals bit distorted which made them hard to understand. Ok, here's where I need some experienced feedback. After peaking and then slowly plateau-ing down I get to the typical first signs of comedown. Then I roll over and do the "can I close my eyes and sleep yet?" thing. Because effects were starting to taper off, I'd been going for 3 almost 4 hours including the peak had been over for at least an hour. That's when what most people describe as a bad trip started. At first I was seeing the absolute most tranquil and beautifully 3 dimensional living breathing patterns of living creatures with black rainbow skins and geometrical patterns of feathers and eyes. At first it was intimadating, bit I quickly got drawn into it's beauty and peace. After I thought to myself alright, this will make a great transition to slip into sleep and dream from everything went off. The beauty turned to what I've been conditioned all my life to think of as scary and evil. Whao, "what is this?" I thought. Then just like that I'm leaking even harder than the actual real peak. After this the session was trying to take control and force me to have a "bad trip." I couldn't believe this was happening. Long story short at this point I struggled for probably 30 minutes to keep from going off the deep end forever. It felt as if everything that the world struggles with and does with malintent, greed, anger, and all the short comings of society was like a million arms trying to pull me down off a ladder to make me part it's anger and less than desirable traits. All I can say is I'm very happy I know myself and have taken great care to explore my mind and be absolutely comfortable, certain, and at peace about what's up there. So how did I peak twice, not to mention the fact the second peak was at least 5 times more intense than the first. No additional anything was taken other than the initial 2.5g dose that I drank over the course of an hour, though 80% of it was consumed within 30 minutes. Thank you for reading through all the details, and I look forwardto any thoughts.

Man I was hoping for some insight, is this really such a unique experience? I'll take any opinions from everyone. Especially if it's happened to you specifically.

take 3.5g of mushrooms next time. that extra gram won't kill you, it'll put you back in touch with that inner entity you had earlier.
Or just wait longer between trips. I tend to only trip about 2x a month, leaving a full weak of sobriety in between to clean out my system and let my tolerance subside.
Also I found that when i drink a tea brewed from the sacrament, that the effects are not as intense but the waves are much more noticeable.
just my experiences, but I'm not sure what you're looking for for replies.

Alright, I'll see what happens...think I have about 3.5g left. Do you think putting the shrooms in oj could have been the culprit for the second peak?

Im not sure it was a "second peak"...
Terminology is stupid anyway.
I have had similar sort of experience..... like, you trip.... peak.... begin the descent..... and then..... your mind grabs hold of something and you resist.... and it intensifies..... even to the point of visuals. CEV and OEV.
But for me.... it didnt feel like a PEAK ( meaning the highest point of the experience, usually when the drug has achieved a maximum concentration in your body ) it felt more like mindless confusion + exhaustion w/ pictures to go with it.
I dunno.

Shad0w, yes, exactly. That's what happened to in my case. So how does this happen when the psilocybin (or more exactly psilocin sp) chemical process in the brain is pretty much exhausted? I guess what I should have said instead of second "peak" is a second set of intense visuals and psychedelic confusion. In any case thank you for your info, definitely helped a little to better understand the power of the shroomy.
