Just an update for y'all:

I finally did it this afternoon.  Took my first shroom ride...and I did it in my pool, and it was awesome.  Call me a wuss but I did 1g dried homegrown.  Started feeling buzzy and woozy 30 minutes in.  At 1 hour I was in full swing.

I guess I had a heavy "level 1" trip.  If I closed my eyes I would see shapes and images, felt like I was drifting (and I was floating in my pool so I guess I was) but as soon as I opened my eyes and paid attention I would snap right back to reality.  This lasted 2-3 hours.  Had a snack which tasted awesome.  (Senses enhanced?) By now I peaked and started descending.  Within 6 hours I felt back to normal.

I really enjoyed it but I don't think I will go much further than level 1/2.  I don't think I wanna trip balls but today I felt trippy while maintaining control. And being in my pool on a gorgeous summer day was the best place I think I could have been.  My wife was there to keep an eye on me but no help needed.

Loved my first time.

Sounds like fun!
