Tripping into 40 – A Trip Report
    #18237720 - 05/09/13 11:52 AM (11 years, 1 month ago)

Let me start off this trip report by giving some background on myself;
I’m 40 years old and two days exactly as I’m writing this.  I took my 4 gram shroom trip two days before my birthday, having previously tried a 2 gram trip the week before. I have a fair amount of previous experience in psychedelics, specifically LSD which I took frequently in my late teens and early 20’s. Although I took a long 15 year break, during which time I got married, had kids and started my own business.

Recently it popped into my head that I missed LSD and the mind bending experiences that I used to have. A few days later, I heard part of a news item in which they mentioned that  a UK scientist was trying to get permission to do further experimentation with magic mushrooms and how these can be used to assist people with psychological disorders. Then I came across an article in Sci-America that detailed the John Hopkins test and this finally piqued my interest enough for me to start looking for some shrooms.

Being in South Africa, this was easier said than done, especially when I have not bought any illegal substances for a long time. But by the grace of Gaia and with some cunning and determination, I managed to locate some. Having now bought twice from the same guy, I still have no idea what kind of cube they are.

Fortunately a very kind soul on this site has now sent me some spores and I have my first batch of mushrooms germinating at this very moment. More about this kind soul later….

My wife and I decided to do this together. She also has previous experience with psychedelics (more so than me in fact) and had also not taken for many many years. Whilst my actual goal and intention in doing shrooms is to further self-understanding, we decided to use this opportunity to just have some fun with it. Suffice to say, date night just became a whole lot more interesting !

For this experience we thought it would be fun to go to a 70’s tribute show that was being held at a venue close by. The show featured Abba, Bee Gees and Freddie Mercury tribute artists. The show started at 7:00 so we got there at around 6:30 and ate the shrooms in the parking late, being the responsible adults we are. At the last minute my wife decided to take a prudent course of action and only had 1 gram, whereas I took 4g’s.

We went inside, got a drink and went to our seats upstairs to watch the show. About 20 minutes later, I leaned down to take a sip out my drink through the straw and realised it wasn’t there.  I asked my wife if she knew what happened to my straw and she pointed out that it was still nicely sealed in the wrapper next to my drink. This is when I knew I was coming on.

A few minutes later the show started and so did our trip in earnest.
The show started off with some Mozart being played over the sound system and I could feel the music pouring into body and making my nerve ends tingle. It was some of the most beautiful music I ever heard and I realised then that I should rather have been at a symphony. Although trying to suppress the giggles in such a formal atmosphere may be too painful.

The next couple of hours were a bit of a blur. I remember going upstairs and back downstairs few times. I found it difficult to watch the show as the lighting had become overwhelming and was like an assault on my senses. 

The show itself was pretty amateurish but the lighting was amazing and the Bee Gees were good for a laugh. For a short term I forgot that this was a tribute show and thought it pretty cool that they had managed to get such a high profile group of artists together for the show. Then the Freddie Mercury impersonator came on and try as he might, he could just not do him justice. His voice not reaching the high notes of the late, great FM, brought reality crashing home.

Pretty soon after coming on, my first profound thought of the evening floated up and that was that I really like my life. For those that are also turning or turned 40 with families and busy lives,  I’m sure you can relate that sometimes you get so caught up in the day to day that you have little opportunity to reflect on whether you are generally happy or not. It was a good feeling and felt very much like an affirmation.

I then felt an overwhelming feeling of love towards my wife, who as I ,mentioned was with me. What was interesting about this was that I was not lost in the feeling. It was as if my “self” was able to coolly have a detached awareness of this powerful emotion and not be lost in it. This kind of detached awareness of feelings and later desire was a pretty common theme throughout the evening and one of the most interesting aspects of the trip.

Then the giggles started. All of a sudden, mildly amusing things seemed outrageously funny.  To be honest, this eventually became irritating, although one of these incidents is worth noting.

I started thinking about the guy I mentioned earlier (the one who sent me the spores). I was thinking fondly of him and felt a deep seated appreciation of his kind gesture. My thoughts then turned to the covering letter he had sent with the spores I had received earlier that day, I recalled a line in the letter where he had very prudently written; “I hope you enjoy looking at these under your microscope”.  As I recalled this, it suddenly seem hilarious. I started laughing and couldn’t stop. For about fifteen minutes, I tried telling my wife what he had written but literally couldn’t get the words out due to this uncontrollable laughter. Eventually when I did, she looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, waiting for the punch line and I immediately realised it really hadn’t been that funny to begin with.

I continued watching the show, occasionally going downstairs and outside for a smoke. I found that I was able to move around quite easily and interact with people pretty easily despite the fact that by this stage I was tripping very hard and that looking at anything for long enough, the various elements in the image would start shifting around. Something else that I noticed, which I also experienced on my previous trip, was that any flat 2 dimensional images that I stared at appeared to be multi-dimensional. It was as if there were multiple duplicate images stacked extremely close together with a faint glow around each instance of the image. This is a difficult thing to describe.  Possibly there were just kaelidoscopes off the edges of the images and my brain interpreted this as something else.

My wife and I then went to the bar to get a drink. I ordered another passion fruit and soda and she ordered a bottle of water with slices of lemon it in. I took one sip of my drink and found the sugary sweetness of the drink to be nauseating. I asked my wife if I could have a sip of hers and I swear it was one the most delicious drinks I had ever tasted. I enjoyed it so much that I could not stop drinking it and promptly ordered one with myself.

Interestingly, I tried the same drink the following day when I was straight as I was convinced it would be my new favourite drink and it just wasn’t the same.

Around this time the show broke for intermission and a long, drawn out auction started for a charity. We felt this was bringing us down and so decided to go home. Since my wife was fairly pretty straight and I was still tripping off my face, we agreed that she should drive home. Fortunately we got home safe and sound.

After getting home and settling in, I realised that I was still tripping pretty intensely whereas my wife at this stage was already coming down. A half hour later and there was a  steep drop off in the intensity of the trip.

I noticed that at this stage, I started getting a little paranoid. I would near noises outside and feel a sense of fear that there was someone lurking out there. It wasn’t severe paranoia but it was noticeable. I was still drinking my lemon water and noticed that each time I took a sip, I could feel my body responding favourably. It occurred to me that my body had a voice and tripping on shrooms game me the clarity to hear it.

We watched an episode of Game of Thrones, which I had watched last time I was tripping and thoroughly enjoyed but couldn’t really get into it this time. In fact, I suspect that watching TV when you’re tripping straightens you out.

We tried having sex, which was pretty funny. The desire was there and the sensation was amazing but I kept getting distracted by my thoughts and would lose the thread. After a while we gave this up and carried on watching TV. Soon after the show finished my wife got tired and went to sleep. I was awake for another hour or so and then managed to get to sleep.

As with the last time, I felt like a little hungover and so did my wife, despite the fact that we had no alcohol to drink. This could have been due to lack of sleep but I’m not sure. By the following day we felt fine.

All in all, we had a great time and I will hopefully be doing it again in the near future.

If you don't recognize the cube, post it on here, there are plenty people who can help you identify.

As for sex, reaching a climax is pretty much impossible on mushrooms.

Good report, brought back good memories and made me think about what my kids are going to do with their lives.

Thanks for sharing mate.

Thanks for the heads up about the cube. It comes crushed up a little in a small pot of honey so it may be difficult to identify.

Good to know about the sex :smile: Actually very interesting that. I wonder if it's a physiological effect of the shrooms or just that your brain can't get into the "right gear" so to speak.

I actually find it difficult to get erect at all when I'm on shrooms, maybe it's just that your brain is too active to care about an erection.
