This report is going to be a bit long, I'm going to tell as much details as I remember. I'm not always sure about the chronological order but those don't mather. (Sorry if i make language mistakes but English is not my standard language).
3 months ago I decided to cultivate some mushrooms (cubensis cambodia). Because it was the first time I grew them, I ordered a growbox. I followed all the instructions and 3 weeks later my first flush was ready to dry.
2 weeks ago we went on a trip (3 days) with some friends. The setting was a chalet in the forest far from civilization. I had waited for this moment a long time and I had it well prepared. My friend G and I were going to take the shrooms, I had one Sitter J. I didn't knew J very well. He's kind of an outsider in our class, but he has this kind of serenity over him. In 3 years i had probably talked 5 minutes to him. But I trusted him, more than the other people who were around (drunk / high).
G and I decided to take the shrooms "early" in the morning. At the end it was 10 am but the rest was still sleeping (party the night before). We placed two sofa's outside (the wheater was good) and prepared everything (blanket, music,...). after this we weighted the shrooms. We decided to take 2 gram each because it was our first time. We prepared our tea (ginger/lemon/cubensis cambodia :p) and went outside in the sofa.
time: 0 min G and I are drinking our tea (at this moment we are the only people awake), we laid back and started listening to our music: me-> Shpongle discography, G-> Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon.
time: 10 min I start to get realy facinated by a tree (it's winter here so there are no leafs and when i looked at the branches there where so many patterns in them).

time: 20 min G is telling me his earplugs of his mp3 are melted togheter with him, the music is inside him, he isn't liking it, to overwhelming. I tell him to calm down and just go with it.
At this moment the sky, who was grey, turns to blue, then to purple, red, yellow, green and back to grey. I have this WTF-moment and when I look back to G he's gone inside. I decide to close my eyes. At this moment I get completelly lost in CEV's, I'm flying through the solar system everything was so beautifull and the music enhanced the experience even more.
time: 60 min Suddenly a drum kicks in the music and i saw myself being embraced by a phoenix and melting together with it. At this moment some other people who were waking up came looking and one touched me to see if i was still alive (It was 10°C outside and I started to look blue around my lips they said-> I thought I had a normal temperature). When he touched me I came back to reality so fast, it was like a was dropped in icecold water. J told me to come inside, to get warm. I followed him, but when I came inside everyone was looking at me, they looked so big (I'm only 1.70m). The room was getting smaller and I wanted to go back outside. J told me it was ok and brought me another blanket.
time: 90 min My sofa was standing close to a huge stone and when I started looking at it I was seeing so many faces in it.

I couldn't stop looking at it, I needed to look closer. I went to the stone and started looking from 5 cm distance. It was like there was nothing else in the world but the stone.
time: 2h I was getting bored of being outside, so I decided to go inside and turn off the music. At this point I started to get really hungry so I ate my orange I took with me. It was so tastefull, oranges are so good, yummi. We had a wii with us so I started to play some mario kart, it was this level:

The people around me thought that I was liking it because it looks so trippy, but I thought it was so artificial. So I stopped after this level and went to my room with J.
time: 2h 30 min At this point I'm starting to get down a bit but at the same time I see everything so clear. I'm sitting with J upstairs, we're having a chat. I think in myself: this guy is so awesome, he has the same personallity as me but he shows it to the outside and I don't. Why am I showing myself so different to everyone. I just want to be myself, people don't know the real me,...
Everything is so clear in my head, the people downstairs, the people who are my friends, are so hollow, all the same masks, they don't give my life something special. But this J he understands everything, he watches from the sideline and is an outsider, but he has to tell something of value. I started to understand my life and how all the people I thought I couldn't miss where just not who they were.
Suddenly some of my friends came upstairs, they told me G went bad. I had the feeling that I didn't care. I was to busy to understand everything.
They keep looking at me and suddenly I could read their personallity, their body language, everything. I understood how these people were. I hated it, I just wanted to talk to J, why weren't they leaving.
time: 3h J and I where back alone in the room. For the rest of the mushroomtrip we kept talking.
time: 4h30 I'm totally back now. I have a strange feeling inside, I discovered so much.
time: rest of the holiday Party outside my body, Strange feeling inside
time: now (2 weeks later) I will remember everything I learned; I took my conclusions (Stand open to other people), but I won't leave my old friends.
When it's dark I see sometimes patterns moving with my eyes open (like the ones you see when you're almost sleeping). But day by day they get more vague.
All by all I thought it was a very good trip. I learned a lot about myself and had some good visuals. G told me he started to get a bad trip at the moment he melted with the earplugs and that he couldn't stop it till the end of the trip. He had learned a lot to.
I thank J for being such a good, intresting sitter.
