The Shroom Trip Levels 1-4
    #18826226 - 09/11/13 01:41 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

A friend set out on a mission when he was 16. To try mushrooms once. Just once. To get the experience under his belt. At the time, he thought it would be a fun-and-games type experience. Harold and Kumar sure know how to make things look fun. But by the time he was 19, he was ready to try it. He bought from a dealer in a new town. Nothing. Fake shrooms. Got screwed over in a town where he really didn't know who he was dealing with. He didn't make that mistake again. The next two times, He went to a cow pasture and hand picked shrooms during mid-october, in morning hours. This pasture had been long abandoned, but still contained many cow-patties, and many mushrooms. On both of the occasions he went to pick them, by the time he'd brought them home, either the psilocybin had heated out of them, or the cow patties were too old and didn't produce fruitful shrooms. More bad tastes in my friends mouth, no high, and pretty obnoxious diarrhea. Finally, back in his home town, my friend found a good friend. With mushrooms a-plenty.

Friend has smoked a lot of marijuana in his day, and drinks frequently. Very used to not being sober (ie, in a normal mindset). After taking the actual, real, psychoactive drug for the first time, something odd happened.

He did not giggle or laugh, except for the brief moments in which he was amazed by how high he was, never trying a drug stronger than this before. After an hour and a half of soul calibur, he began to lose interest in the game, even though minutes before he'd been striving to kick kilik's ass in legendary souls mode (easier said than done), and just gave up. He became intent on finding things to do. Wanting to watch tv, go for a walk, listen to music, but at the basic level. He wanted to see and hear things. Because he was seeing and hearing things as never seen or heard before. Bass became a feeling to him. Something he couldn't describe hearing, only feeling. Dubstep music became completely out of his league, as well as our normal stoner trippy music. We settled for old time fave's like "I drink alone" by George Thorougood and "land of Confusion" by genesis. Sorry all of you hardcore Disturbed fans, the original is epic.
Upon looking at a clock he read the numbers off to me "7-2-3" like it was some sort of safe combination. I asked him what that meant and he stared at me with this understanding yet uncertain expression. He finally explained that that was "time". A number, and nothing more to him. Time seemed to drag on forever for him. The first two hours after the trip induced, time didn't seem to move at all. Most everything else did.
He recorded that any sort of repeating pattern on carpets, blankets, walls, etc, seemed to sway back and forth and sink in on themselves. He was aware that his eyes were playing tricks on him, even made a note of it. I was surprised by how little I had to hold his hand through this. But logic prevailed. When he saw the ceiling slowly drawing closer to himself, he knew it was in a fixed position and that he was in no real danger. Safe, at home, with a good friend to keep him in check.
After a while he began to talk about Florence. A place he'd never been to, and even if he had, it is nothing today compared to how he described it. A funny thing though, he threw some curve balls. Almost everything he said about florence while he was frying balls more or less actually happened in florence in the past. The medici's, the pazzi's, machiavelli... A complete dumbass basically gave me a history lesson of 15th century Florence...
I'm sure all have heard that after a level 3-4 trip, people begin to lose sense of time. But is it possible to gain sense of time? To this day, I question whether he already knew enough about florence to try and "trip" me out as well, or if he was really having some sort of out of body experience allowing himself to learn things that happened 500 years before his time with only an 1/8 at his disposal....

And it being his first time, and hanging out with him tripping subsequent times, this guy can hardly talk about any one subject while tripping. His mind zaps to new topics left and right. But every time, just before "the fall" (as I like to call it), he gets so clear headed that I could ask the man math questions, even complex ones, that he can get correct. I've tested his motor skills, slightly deterred, but less so than a drunk. I've asked him to draw pictures, even though he isn't a good artist, and he tends to do his best work tripping.

But there it is. The fall. The part that makes every good trip bad. He says he doesn't mind it, but I can tell it scares him. Whenever he finally starts to come down he breaks into fever, begins sweating, and cannot sleep. Instead of worrying about it he typically tells himself "I'm the one who took fruit off of cow dung" but it also begins to produce very wild, uncontrollable visions when he closes his eyes.

This is an experience and a question all the same... He seems to almost have a prophetic level of observation during peak. But during the fall, typically just starts going mad. He says it's under control, but as his wingman, should I help him out, try and divert him? It's very interesting talking to him while he's tripping. A wild learning experience for the both of us. But I think that he's trying to trip more to learn more. And I think that if he keeps tripping so much, he's going to have a bad one.

Am I right? Or do extremely logical people have a resistance to the mind-tricks that mushrooms play on the senses?

Bad trips happen.  People who are okay with this are resistant to their mind tricks.

Yes, but what is it that his mind will actually experience? I hear it all the time, bad trips happen. But no one ever explained. I got brief explanations from people who were, not to be rude, but quite unintelligent. Like bugs crawling in your skin? it's hypochondria. If you know it isn't happening the first time you feel your skin itch, then you wouldn't begin to start itching other places because, logically, bugs are not in peoples skin. But a very intelligent person I know also has tried this drug, had a bad trip.

Is my friend just heading down the same road, or can you outwit the trip indefinitely?

I believe there is a threshold where no amount of logic or intelligence could save you from the mushroom's mindfuck. ^^ When I was rather inexperienced, I had a trip where a friend and I were 'trapped' in a loop of recursive thinking; we'd only be able to say a variation of 4-5 phrases which included 'what are we doing?' or 'why can't we stop saying this'. This continued for a couple of hours before we eventually came down. It felt like there was some huge divine problem which we had to find the answer to, but ultimately we knew there was no answer, nor question in the first place.

Larger amounts of mushrooms leave your sense of logic shattered; yes, now you are sober you KNOW that bugs do not live in people's skin, but mushrooms can leave you in a VERY suggestible state where you could believe that; you may find it hard to believe you could believe that in any state of consciousness - if so, you are underestimating the mental effects of large doses of mushrooms. :laugh:

Trying to control the experience causes conflict... And end up with a bad trip...
Need to go with the flow.. Take what comes... Give up control... Dump logic for emotion

Please note...
One... The Friend thing got old right away,
Second, not all mushrooms that grow on cow poo are psilocybin containing,
Lastly, logic doesn't help other than perhaps sorting out What Happened.

If you are trying to get something ou of it, you need to embrace the mushroom... Work on proper set and setting... And don't try logic as an excuse for control...

Peace

Interesting report. I am an INTJ personality type and basically view the world through a logic and rationality peephole, but I have still experienced a bad trip (was too young and inexperienced to understand what I was feeling/seeing). I don't think there's any way to completely prevent bad trips, and there is no one who is immune to it.
Like sonamdrukpa mentioned, those who go into it with only positive intentions and openness (even if that means possibly stirring up some negative emotions ingrained deep in our subconscious) will still come out on top, having learned something from these grassy fruits of mystery.

The states in which we enter include a desire to do a multitude of things, but an inability to do them all. We ponder over this for a few hours, but the trips really start to begin whilst we are coming down. Fever sweating out the poison as it was destined to leave. We typically fast before tripping. And with nothing but the shrooms on our stomach, the nausea never effects us because we have very little to throw up. Instead, at the end of our trip, we reach a fever of about 102 every single trip. Other than the exact experiment of the effects the drug has on us (my desire) we have my fellow tripper (who remembers shit that didn't happen in his lifetime).

Also, I was tripping when I wrote that post. It was because of the very fact that I felt insects in my skin that I posted it. I have listened to him enough to know that there are many tricks it plays on the mind. And they can all be avoided by logic. I felt them in my skin. I didn't have him talk me down. Nor has he ever before. He simply noted feeling it. But when it happened to me. That itch. That crawling sensation. I knew it was just an interruption of pain responses caused by a chemical I introduced to myself. My will to make it disappear overcame it's will to take over me. I think I can control it to some extent. But he's dropping 14 grams and simply sitting there philosophizing. Loses contact with space. Always comes back. Never vomits. Even in an unconscious state his eyes react to stimuli. When he awakes he always has new information. Ideas. Facts. Mathematical algorithms I didn't believe until he wrote down. And then tracked down. And rang true.

I took this drug twice. Now I don't know what to believe. SWIM knows exactly what will happen.
