Since each experience is ultimately individual, I've started my thread on this particular experience, which coincides with that of many of the members of the site, and at the same time is, as stated above, individual.
I had already had 5g of the Devil's Dick, and that is when I found that (oh, stop it) I like dicks. However, at the end of approximately six hours, even after experiencing the very different and unique sensation of mushrooms' alkaloids, I got a bit mopy (my wife was at home and she did not like the fact that I took shrooms, so, that is THE bummer).
In any case, I waited a week to experience double the dose. Experienced in psychedelics, the 5g experience was strong, but did not get me quite there. 10g cubes + 20g sclerotia, however, changed my life. It got me "there" there... I will research the Iceland words that express "a longing for place you have never been, but have always felt as home."
I know it didn't really changed anything yet, because actions change, and not simply thinking and feeling, but the feeling is concrete. I recorded most of my trip, at least the parts that I was not in "the dreamlike haze" mind state. When I took 5g, I could control my trip (I'm a control-freak). Not on the latter dose. First, I started to slowly feel I had absolutely no control over what would happen. I could try, but it would just have made the experience worse. Some things I have to re-listen and write, but all in all, it was a summary of feeling everything, and anything.
As I always say, I am not a visual tripper. I "feel" and "think," but I don't see what I don't want to see. Although getting bashed drunk does take control out of the equation, those familiar with how drugs work in one's system understand why this is incomparable. This time, I could not control what I saw. I was not afraid, but was terrified. I had at least a dozen waves of very particular and lucid feelings, such as guilt, pleasure, euphoria and laughter, pride, sadness, happiness and so forth. Only after 10 hours was I actually clear to remember everything I was doing.
Visions Colors, distortions, throbbig, expansion, shining, you name it, I saw it, and not because I wanted to see it.
Sounds Amazing if I focused on particular sounds. Listened to two songs at the same time for a consistent period. Danced. When still, the sounds became distorted, the lyrics made a different sense, and the music was either dense, intense or smooth, shifting quickly and constantly. If I did not focus, distortions and the other aspects mentioned were present, but this is the hazy part.
Smell Smelt everthing (or thought I did).
Touch Felt everything (or thought I did).
Intellectual Wow... I am writing about what I observed, and how much I learned from the experience in terms of observations on family, my cat and history, and other elements that I may one day write in a much more eloquent manner. The advantage of living in this era is the ease to record what you are doing and saying.
In any case, I wanted to share this experience, even knowing it is not original, because, well, it is, in a way... right?
-------------------- In Hebrew, the words "wine" and "secret" hold the same numerologic value. When wine comes in, secrets spill out. Do you think the person who said that knew mushrooms? When mushrooms come in... Is there anything beyond a secret?
