well said, chinacat. I'm planning a high dose mushroom and MAOI (Syrian Rue) trip for later this summer, and there certainly isn't any machismo about it. Sure, it takes bravery, but not machismo.

My only dose below 5 gms was my first time. That was wonderful and allowed me to comunicate with people and open up to friends. All of my other trips were somewhere between 5 gms and 13gms. They usually had me stuttering, unable to speak because ideas came so quickly that I didn't have time to expess them before a new one would take its place on the tip of my tongue.
On high doses IMO, most of the fun to be had is inside of you. Interaction with others is good for certain stimulation, but being able to interact with the depths of your mind that are not normally accessable is more wonderful than anything to me.

I dont like shroom trips that arent over high level 3.. anything under that is pretty much pointless to me because it doesnt feel as good as it could.

It can be terrifying and leave you shaking on the floor as your ego blast's into a million pieces. You realize that YOU or I are nothing in the cosmic scheme of things. Your just another little piece of creation but are connected to all.




Oh hell yes. Last night was my first full on mushroom trip. Normally I have taken doses that are fairly easy to keep under control and are better for being around your friends, having a nice time, bonding etc.
I made the mistake of thinking eating 12 medium sized psilocybe subaugerosas would be a nice strong trip, without going overboard. What started off as a fairly intense bout of insane closed eye visuals while I lay on the floor with Tool ripping through my body, it got to the point where something hit me. This fear, out of nowhere just flattened me. I had managed to avoid nausea for a good 1 hour and 30 mins, but this scared the shit out of me, and I had to vomit.
What came after this is like no place I've been in before. This wouldn't even be considered a high dose to some people. I didn't know who I was, what I was, my whole face didn't feel like it was mine at all, like my whole body was alien. My whole mind was absolutely shattered, I have never been so afraid. I swore I was going insane, nothing could ease how uncomfortable I was. I was curled up on my bed talking to myself, trying to tell myself to accept this, that I was dying, and that I was nothing. Nothing existed, time didn't existed, nothing mattered, I didn't need anything at all. It was like floating in a void between life and death. In those 2 hours of despair, I did a lot of thinking. I thought about how image didn't mean shit, I thought about the people who cared about me, I thought about if I was coming down (you never think you, yourself, would wonder if you would never come down). There were moments when I managed to just let go, and would be relaxed for just a few seconds, then my mind would kick in again. Like it was struggling to let go of my ego.
So, I certiainly wouldn't say high doses are pointless. Scary, yes, they can be terrifying. It will be a while before I try a dose that high again, and next time I shall be prepared somewhat for it. And it's definitely something you have to do by yourself.

Hey Sheepish,

>>I didn't know who I was, what I was, my whole face didn't feel like it was mine at all, like my whole body was alien. My whole mind was absolutely shattered, I have never been so afraid. I swore I was going insane, nothing could ease how uncomfortable I was.

That was the beginning of Ego loss.  You were grasping for the "I" that doesn't exist at the root of your perceptions.  Naturally a forced detachment from our deluded sense of self can be very overwhelming...but don't fear it...just allow it to come in.

I really wish people who want to trip on high doses of psychedelics had to take classes on meditation...before I learned how to meditate...tripping was just a mere enjoyment of the body for me.  Good way to enjoy a party and dance all night...but once I began my meditational practices, trips took on a whole new meaning for me.  And frankly, I'm glad I learned what I did from psychedelics. 

My sober meditations, however, go much deeper and much smoother than any psychedelic drug can take me...that's why I stopped tripping.  But if it wasn't for LSD or shrooms, I would never have begun down the road of meditation.

If you think 7grams of shrooms is incredible...wait til your first true taste of samadhi...they simply can't compare.  :smile:

Love & Light,

Boppity

Yes, after I began coming down, I realised just what had happened. It was like my mind didn't want to let go, I was afraid to. It's something I've never encountered before, and the added unexpectedness of it didn't help. There were moments though where I stopped panicking enough to just let it wash over me. It seemed like I was dying, and I kept saying to myself in my mind "Just let it be, accept it, you will come back, you will come back".
Meditation is something I am keen to get into. I remember reading the Timothy Leary adapation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead (am I correct?) and reading about ego death, and trying to understand the concepts of ego death.
Do you know of any helpful links concerning ego death and mediation?

I've had a plethora of good and bad, mild and heavy trips ... but I do have to say, and not only from my experience but also based on what other people have discussed with me, when you get above a certain dosage, it sometimes can feel like a completely different experience, and it usually is ...

One who is ready can expect to have positive life-changing experiences on said high-doses, though those who aren't ready, or are doing it just to 'show off' as I've seen many do, end up having potentially terrible experiences that can leave almost permanent mental scarring ...

I have come to find that although I am happy that I have taken high doses and seen what's truly 'beyond' this reality, beyond breathing walls and simple mindfuck, they have affected me so much that I can no longer ever even consider taking a high dose again, and I probably never will

I learned harsh lessons, but that's because I wasn't ready ...

Please make sure you are careful before ingesting high doses, it's no longer "i'll be down in a few hours", it's suddenly, "this is my new reality. this will never end" ... and even when you come down, on these doses, you will not forget everything you experienced and learned ...

Indeed... perceiving yourself becoming pure energy that can not die, can be pretty scary if your minds not in the right place.

Take the intensity of your most beautiful trip and remember that intensity can be reversed to be mind-shattering terror and seemingly eternal despair.

Not sure about that. I've had many hundreds of trips over many years and never felt the slightest despair. Just total and complete bliss every time.

Never found the size of the dose to make too much difference - I've had far more powerful trips on 3 dried grams than I have on 15 dried grams. Never felt that psychedelics were like beer where 10 pints is always stronger than 2 pints - the effects of psychedelics seem to be a lot more subtle and varied than that. Just my take on it.

I agree. I think it depends a lot on the state of mind you're in before you trip.

I took 7grams at Bonnaroo. Before then, I'd dose 3.5. Nothing will come to the mind racing of acid. shrooms are different.

Sheepish, I too had a miserable existence one night, which I outlined in my post A Bad Trip and Sympathy for Suicide . I was asking all these questions about everything and felt so horrible I felt I could sympathize with one who was ready to commit suicide, as at that point it didn't feel like anything.

And Boppity, I'd like to get into meditation, but I've never been able to do it. I don't know if it's a lack of concentration or what, but I've tried many times and never been able to cross over. Your experience with drugs making it easier for you to get there reminds me of something I once read that I guess Maynard James Keenan said, something like "Sure, you can use the drug to get there, but spend the next ten years of your life trying to get there without the drug."

Slapnut, I don't know if this will help you, but when you want to meditate, don't try to concentrate at all on yourself, instead put on a Tool song or something, and try and really focus on the sound. Try and listen for sound in the music that isn't even there... Focus on what's behind the obvious in the music. :/

I agree with some of what both sides say. Personally, I'm a high dose/spiritual journey/alone or with my lover/less often/more intense user.

I think that everyone is different in their reaction to a dose and what they consider a "positve effect". An example of this is spicy food...I'm a hot pepper junkie...if my eyes don't tear and my brow doesn't sweat, it's not "spicy" to me. On the other hand, I know some people that consider themselves to be lovers of spicy food, and they will sweat and tear from what I call mild.

i too have no love for the confusion and delerium that comes with high dose shrooming . in fact i HATE it . but if you want visuals that make dmt seem weak then go for it . i will never forget the way i felt when i had my first hallucinations on them . the sense of wonder and amazement was absolute bliss. .. a complete loss of reality can be the most beautiful experience of your life ! so i say a massive dose with the right set / setting and intention is something everyone should do at least once in thier life !! also i think its possible to control your thoughts at high doses , it takes discipline and maybe even some experience with meditation . difficult but not impossible !
