Potency Surprise
    #22091054 - 08/14/15 12:43 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Well I was wanting to try some Treasure Coast shrooms due to hearing good reviews about their potency. I couldn't get any spore vials so I ordered a few grow kits.

Anyway I thought they were really odd little shrooms compared to the b plus and golden teacher I had grown previously.  Very tiny and closely packed and oh SO many of them.  When I harvested I also noticed that the ones I damaged practically bled blue.

Well I had my first trip on them yesterday and both my boyfriend and I had our heads blown off lol.  The idea was to go chill out in a quiet park of the local park but by the time we got there we were raving about seeing fairies and vikings.  I totally couldn't control my thoughts and ended up believing I was some part of a never ending god consciousness and I'd done everything and had been everything that had ever lived an infinite amount of times.

It was totally bat shit crazy...

I'm totally not believing anyone who says a cube is a cube again because this was grown on the same stuff in the same conditions and it was a totally different beast!

That's awesome!....A cube is a cube, though and genetics are a crap shoot ...sounds like you hit the lottery...you should think about cloning one on agar.:mushroom2:

I'll have to look into it because I don't have a clue how it's done.

Definitely sounds worth cloning. Never done it myself though. If I'm not mistaken you need a fresh specimen, so be quick.

How much did you take anyway, in grams?

My guess is that this is the first time you've had a bunch of tiny cubes. The smaller cubensis tend to have more actives in them gram for gram compared to the bigger cubes.

I took 3.5 my boyfriend had 4.5.

Yes they were only little, or the majority of them were.  I had taken 4.5 of my previous batches before and they weren't as strong as this.  I ate them dried whole and already had strong visuals within half an hour.

It really caught me offguard, I was expecting a BIT stronger but I was completely out of control.  If I had known I wouldn't have taken this many in public, god knows what passerbys thought as I was telling the fairies to stop shoving candles in my face !

You live and learn I guess...

sounds like a good time though! I grew TC's before and they were really nice. I had leftover spawn and decided to put it in a plastic tupperware container and case it. I only got a bunch of tiny mushrooms from it and they were apparently VERY potent. I didn't try them myself, but my friend did and he said that 8th I gave him was more potent than quarters he had consumed. He told me that his open eyed visuals were hard to differentiate from his closed eyed visuals. PE's are likely to catch people off guard too fyi :wink:

Well it was a good time until I decided that there was no point in living because I'd already gone through life and made every choice possible.  However even if I died I'd still be going round and round doing the same thing over and over forever.  I didn't really like the concept of infinity either, it's one thing to think about it but another to actually think you've experienced it.

It was a bit of a mind fook tbh and I still feel a weird about it even now.... I really hope it doesn't put me off taking a large dose again as I really didn't enjoy the whole god consciousness thing.

Yes, I've been close to that, although perhaps not as acute as this. It can be dangerous, even when you're together with a tripping partner. If the echoes of madness between the both of you start to work as an amplifier, then total hysteria can hit hard. On the other hand, being together when tripping this hard can also be the best medicine.

In one severe trip, my friend and I were in opposite phases. When the hysteria really hit me, he brought me down again. Only moments later the roles were reversed. This went on for quite a while (time didn't exist then). Had we been IN phase instead of opposite, it would have become very unpleasant indeed. ... He didn't trip for a long time after that.

Well, now that you know it exists simply give it some time. You'll be all right. After that, approach it with more care, and keep some distance. We are only human. We all love it that god is good. But that Good is actually quite frightening can be a lot harder to digest.

Love, Hanz.

Can stuff like this happen at lower doses or is it just at the higher end ?

My boyfriend had the exact same thing but it didn't move him negatively like me.  I don't think he understood it was taking a bad turn for me as he was having the time of his life and when I asked if we could take a walk he refused to move but I didn't want to tell him I was having a bad time and ruin his trip so I just sat there lost in my own thoughts which were getting far too wacky.

Anyway at least I had the sense to sit there and tell myself it would all be alright even if I had the overwhelming feeling my life was never going to be the same after seeing this lol

If something like that comes up you gotta sit with it. Trying to deflect it or run away from it only makes it worse. You can explore an idea without believing in it or being attached to it.

Lower doses can have their own surprises, I guess. Especially when you are physically tired. A friend told me that once, after a low dose of shrooms on a tired night, he was convinced he had died. He remained calm. The trip itself did not completely overwhelm him. He wasn't swimming in fractals. But it was unpleasant and persistent.

Sorry, I don't mean to scare you with stories like this. I am sure that if you take care of set and setting, lower doses are pleasant and perfectly safe.

Take small steps. Love, Hanz.

I love a nice medium trip in nature looking at how beautiful it is and then laid out in the sun on a blanket chilling and watching the clouds or listening to music.

Being god was a bit much for me, especially after those fairies had tormented me with their lanterns lol

That's my level. Although closed eyed trips can be beautiful too. Or, if it involves an energetic substance, a nighttime walkabout in the woods... oh my, last month's hippyflip. Full moon, no clouds, good friends and, dig this, a puppy dog with a led light on its collar. Unforgettable! Lol.

Anyway, that too was a big potency surprise for me.

Lush it was. But the synergy between the truffles and the X caught me completely off guard. My friend had warned me it was ultra strong X, so we took only half what we had planned, same with the truffles. I like to have both the come-ups at exactly the same time, get it over with. But when they hit, omg. Total loss of control. What a trainwreck. The woods turned into cathedrals, the stars made love and multiplied. No redosing the entire night. And I usually love redosing :laugh:

A true potency surprise, although no godhead for me that night. Luckily all went well, just wasn't what I had planned. And the 36 hour hangover was awful.

Autumn will be here soon. Too bad there are no warm nights in autumn where I live... enjoy yours.

Love, Hanz.

I think some version of this is where stronger shroom trips tend to end up, not always, but it seems to be a persistent theme that people report.

Quote:

If I take a large dose I often end up in a manic state convinced I'm God, spiraling my way through various delusions while my mind keeps racing....the kind of madness that Hanz is talking about. This kind of trip is a bit much, it feels like expending a lot of energy finding the answers to imaginary problems.

With a slightly lower (but still large) dose, I sometimes get the kind of experience which feels transcendent without being so completely delusional, but it's hard to judge the dose....sometimes it feels too much, other times like I didn't quite get there.

And sometimes I just prefer a trip which is solid and enjoyable and colorful with nothing particularly spiritual about it.

That's exactly right, it was like an insane delusion and my thoughts just became more and more warped.

I enjoy the loving, connected to the universe feeling but the actual god mode thing was as close to insanity as I ever want to be lol

Do you reckon 2g would be more appropriate?  I'm worried now as I got a whole bunch of aborts, god knows how strong they will be!

Love it!!!

Happened to me sometimes too, even between flushes on the same tray. I maybe eat shrooms from my 3rd plush and.... SURPRISEEEEEEEEE!!! And BOOM... mind blow lol. Sometimes with weed too, despite I always smoke at the same times every day (and same amount as well, weighted and vaped)

I don't have any experience with aborts, but now you have some idea of the potency, if you dropped the dose down from 3.5 to 2g of the same stuff it should definitely make the trip a fair bit calmer.

If you have a heavy trip it can be good to make the next one a bit lighter and easier to handle, then on the next one after that you might want to go back up to 2.5 or 3g or whatever.

I think all you can do is adjust the dose up or down in reaction to what the previous trip was like. I usually trip on commercial sclerotia so the potency can vary quite a bit, I vary the dose up or down depending on the anticipated potency, experience of previous trips, and the kind of trip I'm in the mood for.

Sometimes its nice to be surprised, although it can be a bit too surprising if you get unusually high potency on the same day you decide to eat a larger quantity than before...:mushroom2:
