Took 7 grams - thought I had a stroke!

Hey dudes and dudettes,
So yesterday I thought I would be a badass and took 7 grams in a tea. Holy Fuck! I had taken 5-6 grams several times and handled it pretty well. Let me say that my shrooms are from multispore syringes, so it was only a matter of time before I hit a really strong batch. The inconsistency finally caught up to me. I will be isolating and cloning soon to fix this problem.
I was wigging out. I'm right handed, so naturally its more difficult to do certain tasks with my left hand like writing and eating with a spoon. But I was tripping so hard that it was like I had 2 left hands. I felt retarded. And I started freaking out a bit. I actually started convincing myself that I was having a stroke and went down a nasty thought loop where I imagined life as a stroke victim being unable to walk and feed myself.
Needless to say I was having a bad time and spent most of the time watching the clock waiting for time to pass hoping I had no permanent damage. After a few hours I started coming down a bit and realized that everything was ok. But this was my first bad experience with shrooms and I respect the hell out of these things now. I have been tripping once or twice a month since January and now I know the true importance of set and setting.
Thanks for listening and I hope this story helps those who are new to the fungi.
Bless. Boom.

Set and setting is very important,I tend to like the higher doses myself.

I have a bit of a theory regarding bad trips, let me know what you think.
I've noticed that if a trip less than a week apart, its like my mind hasn't fully reset and I end up feeling like crap. Taking 14 days or more between trips generally makes me feel better and puts me in a better mood.
Well, when I took this large dose this weekend it had only been 4 days since I last tripped. The large dose combined with the fact that my mind had not had time to fully "reset" is what led me to such a bad trip.
Just a theory, but I believe it may have some merit.

By co-incidence I was posting this yesterday on another thread:

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...
Glad you were able to ride out the intensity without it putting you off tripping
