My second trip: dogs on leashes (plus some questions)
    #21697214 - 05/19/15 05:32 AM (8 years, 8 months ago)

A while ago, a friend and I did our first, low dose truffle trip. We had a whale of a time in general and all was good.

A little shorter while ago, we went for a second trip and upped the dosage this time. The first time we went for 2,18 gr. of dried ps. Tampanensis each (= about 6,6 gr. fresh) in a tea, this time we chewed up 3 gr. (=9 gr. fresh) of the same batch. A significant increase, it turned out. It should also be noted that we tripped at about 6 pm, and all I had eaten that day was a bowl of muesli and two apples. I did not mind, since I knew that, while me body would have to be hungry for a bit longer, my mind would have it's share of food soon enough.

The bland cardboard taste and texture is one thing, but the battery-acid aftertaste of the truffles makes me gag. They made me nauseous as all hell, like my stomach was a churning crater filled with churning stuff. We chewed them up at his place and went outside immediately afterwards, to a place in semi-nature. It's a small patch of land where it's absolutely beautiful, yes, even while sobre. The land isn't cared for and has reclaimed it by covering it with weeds. The dandelions were done turning the field into a yellow sea and instead poked up swaying poofballs everywhere. Crickets chirp and near the water toads were singing.

We arrive and my friend starts to show first signs immediately. I chuckle when I hear him mutter: "It's the slow things that matter. Fast things are useless." He turns to me and says "The sky, it looks like something straight of that videogame.. What's it called?" "Mass Effect?" "Yeah, that's the one!" His pupils are big and black like spreading inkblots.

Meanwhile, I wander about restlessly. I would stay at my girlfriend's place that night, but there were some minor issues. Either I had to get up really early in the morning, before I had a bus back home, or I would have to come to her workplace to drop off her keys during her lunchbreak that isn't at a specified time. She does an internship there and the complex is huge and hugely complex. The doors only open with a badge as well. After six years of being together, I know her well enough to know she gets 'difficult' over stuff like that. She'll be restless until we clear how it's going to be done. By proxy, I would be restless because I don't want her to feel like that. So while I walk around in those fields, I decide it's best to give her a call and sort stuff out. On the phone I decided to man the fuck up and just get up early together with her. While talking to her and being glad it's settled, the trip starts to come up. She notices I'm getting giggly and happy. She laughs it off, wishes me luck and my trip was ready for take-off.

We walk around. I know it's cliche, but the whole field was like a magic wonderland. We crawl through an opening in the bushes, and it felt like going to secret tunnel, going to new places. There's some more of that while walking along a forest path, until we get back at the clearing. While getting out of the forest, it's like my vision is suddenly 'widened' a lot, like looking through a fish-eye lense or, in videogame terms, turning up the FOV-slider. Just like last time, all colours get a green-silver hue to them. The meadow starts to wave gently. We sit down at some logs and enjoy the show. A bit later we lay down in the field and we just stayed there for a long time.

This is when the trip started to get heavy. I loved the visuals, but mentally, it was difficult to keep it all together. I wouldn't say I overdosed, but the dosage was stuck between 'certainly enough' flirting with 'slightly too much'. I tried to talk with my friend, but my mind raced in all directions. While sobre, you have your mind on a leash. It sometimes wanders a bit, but like a curious yet obedient lapdog, a little pull is enough to get it back where you want it to go. The smaller dose I did the first time made my mind wander way more and be more curious about stuff, but it was still manageable. I could function and act normally if desired. Think of it like a hyperactive, inquisitive Jack Russel on a leash. This time, my mind was a pumped up, stubborn yet friendly Saint Bernard. Have you ever tried to win a leash pulling contest with a Saint Bernard? It ain't gonna work. You can try to coax it into the right direction and it'll work at times, but only if that's where the big boss wants to go as well.

Now, don't get me wrong, I can live with that. I don't mind letting go. But it was when an actual dog-owner with an actual dog walked up to us and asked us if we had any tobacco, I realised how difficult this would be. My mental Saint-Bernard was still rummaging through my brainkitchen's cupboards and I could not think, let alone talk straight. I managed to say "No, only pipe tobacco". He excused himself for his dog being a bit curious about me. When I answered with "It is not a problem, I have experience with dogs of my own", he probably started to understand the kind of dog that was running my system right now. The message I was sending wasn't weird, but the wording was very strange, so he stared at me for a bit. My friend was more clearheaded than I was, thank any deity out there that's willing to listen to thanks, and was able to keep the conversation going in a normal fashion. While my eyes are so dark you can barely discern the pupils, his eyes are greyish-blue and his dilated pupils jump into sight immediately. I don't think he really minded though, he seemed a bit of an alternative type himself.

Like I said, I don't really mind letting go, but the trip was getting a bit much. To keep up the metaphors, you could compare my brain to a computer. It was trying to play this fun, new videogame with great and stunning visuals. Sound was awesome as well, the burping of toads and chirping of crickets kept increasing and decreasing in pitch in a slow sinuswave. However, my system was not equiped to run this at all. The processor in particular could not really handle what was going on, like it had trouble computing all of its own processes. It resulted in thoughts stopping halfway. I could not think straight. My thoughts were incoherent rambling raves and I was fully aware of that, even while thinking them. All the while, I was in love with the changes in my perception. Is there a way to achieve those, without having my brain turned into a storming soup of jumbled mess?

At times, my brain even froze or shut down. I went into a blackout-like state, where I would drift off into nothingness, like falling asleep or unconscious. However, whenever I got too far away, the mushrooms jolted me back with their defibrilators. It was like a sudden jolt of psychedelic-ness kicked me right of my blackout and spat me right back into the trip with a landing that was as soft and gentle as a concrete brick. And when I say jolt, I mean JOLT in capital letters as big as barns. It was not frightening, but it was very strange and not entirely pleasant. I'd really like to know if other people have experienced this as well?

We decided to go for a walk and took halt at a quiet road near a field with a little wall. We sat on it and like a bunch of happy hobbits we smoked a pipe of tobacco there and gently floated back down from our trip. We stood there and talked for quite a while and I was slowly feeling 'better' and more comfortable again. I have never been stoned or high in my life, but for a few hours afterwards I had a feeling that could only be described with those words. I was happy and made dumb jokes about everything. We went for a kebab because our stomachs roared like a whole can of Lannisters. It wasn't particularly good and my friend, almost entirely sobre by now, picks up a piece of kebab meat while saying "Man, this meat is really weird.. It's not even like kebab meat". "Yeah, this meat is strange", I answered while holding up a piece of tomato, thinking it was a hilarious joke.

We parted ways and thanked each other for the amazing evening. I went to my girlfriend and the feeling while getting in bed with her, just holding her, was phenominal.

Something I noticed throughout this trip and the previous trip, is that 'stages' in the trip always seem linked to 'events'. The start of my first trip was when I intently looked at a painting, to see if I could detect any psychedelic qualities. I asked my friend if it was a hologram, one of those things that move if you change position from it. That, in turn, seemed to set off his trip when he burst out laughing. This time it was when I called my girlfriend and immediately after we sorted things out. My trip really kicked off the moment we got out of the forest and entered the clearing. Is that just coincidence, my mind reinforcing expectations, or do you have similar experiences?

TL/DR: it was a great evening. Though it got fairly difficult for me to keep my shit together at times, in the end all was well.

Is it possible to have visual trip without your brain being blasted out of your skull? Has anyone ever experienced small 'black-outs' while tripping?

Thanks for reading this wall of text.
