Fifth trip - Tamer of words
    #22336332 - 10/05/15 10:27 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

A while ago, my tripbuddy and I decided to go on our fifth journey. Summer was ending, though the weather was still nice. Since our last trip was a bit overwhelming with 4 grams of dried Tampanensis, we decide on taking two grams each. Our 'ceremony' always involves tea. We boil some water for the tea, add fennel seeds, fresh mint a nice finger of ginger. It doesn't taste too good, but it keeps the nausea at bay each and every time. We take a cup of the tea and add the sclerotia, allowing it to rehydrate. Once we emptied our cups, we chew the truffles really well and swallow them. I always thought the taste of sclerotia to be extremely foul, but the more I take it, the more repulsed I am by it. I gag, but manage to keep it all in. "A few minutes of discomfort now, a few hours of beauty later, a life of remembering what you experienced."

We pack a backpack: some chocolate, banana's and a bottle of water. We are ready for our hike. Past the field, our usual playground on shrooms, and beyond. It didn't take long for us to feel the effects. My chest starts to inflate with the mushroom sensation. My legs get the typical, yet undescribable tingle. It makes walking feel very strange, alien even. The textures of an old brick wall, fields of grass and treebark pop out. We sit down from time to time, to take in the view. Under the warm light of a setting sun we walk. Past meadows and archaic houses, over gravel roads and past our shared favourite tree, the willow. We came across a puddle of rainwater. A bicycle had just gone through it, resulting in a splash on the road around it. We thought it looked like an intricate drawing. It looked genuinely beautiful.

"If usage of magic mushrooms was more common, artists would have an extremely easy living", my friend remarks. "How so?", I reply. "Dude, we were just fascinated by a splash of water. How much effort does it take to make a splash of water?" "The question is though, has the splash always been beautiful? Would we think it's beautiful if we were sobre? Or did the mushroom convince us it is beautiful, while in reality it is unremarkable or even ugly?" "It's neither ugly, nor pretty. We perceive it as being either, but it is not a real trait of the object itself. It is a judgment, only existent in our minds." That set the tone for the rest of our conversations.

One of the things he said really stuck with me. "People often have this fatalistic view that our existence is too petty to make a difference in the grand scheme of things. The view that whatever we do, we are too small to make anything matter. But if you ever again think that you are too small to make a difference, just remember what two grams of mushrooms, containing micrograms of psilocine and psilocybine, did with our 80 kg bodies."

We walked on, talked some more. At the end of the meadows, I lost grasp of my visual perception. To this day, I'm still not sure if I was looking over the fields at a house in the distance, if I was standing on a hill looking down at the house or if I was on the same level. I know the terrain was slightly elevated, but I could grasp what I was seeing. It was a very strange feeling.

A man rode past us on a bicycle with bikebags. He stopped to admire the view and pulled a carton of bio-milk from his bikebags. We had to move on, because this cracked us up. "I understand wanting something to drink and all, but who the hell takes along a carton of milk while biking? Seriously?!"

We keep walking, now along a very busy motorway. It was getting dark and the streetlights were brighter than ever. The green for go and red for stop looked very vibrant. It was not as visually appealing as the fields and meadows though. Not by a long shot.

We keep on walking and I turn into some sort of rambling, preaching speech machine. I start talking about things like "alcohol, the sedating milk dispersed from the teat of mother Economy". I'm a bit sorry I did not record my ramblings, since my friend remarked that, while it was clearly mad ramblings, there was poetry in there. The way the words sounded was beautiful, according to him. He liked hearing the words I spoke.

More walking. Now we're in a big industrial area. A few girls stop to ask directions to the nearest event hall. My friend was clearheaded enough to tell them how to reach it and though they thought it was a bit weird that two guys were just sitting there in an abandoned area, it didn't seem like they noticed our altered perception.

Then things started getting difficult for me. I realized that I didn't have a single clue as to where we were, except that it was literally the middle of nowhere in an abandoned industrial area. I did not know how we got there and started having slight panic attacks. Luckily my buddy knows his way around there, but I was still freaking out a bit.  I start up my cellphone, which as a rule is always turned off while tripping, to load up Google Maps. "Put it away man, that's not for during trips. It detracts from it.", my friend says. But the fear was too much to really think about anything but getting back. It didn't help me much, since I couldn't get it to work properly at first. When it did, I only realized more that I did not know where I was. In a frenzy, I keep frantically checking the map. "Can we go back now? I feel really uncomfortable", I kept repeating, as well as "You know the way, right? You know how to get back?" I have to say my buddy handled it really well and kept his cool. "Sure dude, let's go back to town and have a beer. It's not a long ways from here, you know?" It was though, we had hiked about ten kilometers on our way over there. When I saw a building I knew in the distance, I was comforted again. It was my first time experiencing fear on mushrooms, and it is not pleasant. At all. It sort of feels like being sobre again all of a sudden, but very cloudy in the head at the same time.

Then we slowly started sobering up. We usually end our trips in a bar, drinking a nice special brew. Not to get drunk, but to savour the taste, you know?

All in all, it was a great night. There were some hardships in the end that made me realize that, yes, a mushroom trip can go bad. But it's nothing that will put me off from doing it again.

I have to say, again, that the batch of truffles I've got are potent little critters. We took 2 grams bonedry, which equates about 6 grams fresh. Most recommend 7.5 grams fresh for a light dose. This was not a mindblowing, ego-crushing trip, but still very potent for such a small amount of substance. In fact, it was a Goldilocks dose: not too much, not too little but just right.

What kind are they? Have you used other batches/strains before? I tried nearly 20g Atlantis a while back and definitely didn't have that level of trip, and I'm not sure if it was a weak batch or if I shold try a bigger dose next time. Would be interesting to know your previous experience to help me gauge myself.

Cool report though, sounds like overall a fun trip despite the fear!

Twenty grams of fresh Atlantis should have knocked you down quite well. Dose doesn't seem to be the problem, to me. I think you got unlucky with a weak batch. The more sclerotia are allowed to mature in the substrate, the stronger they become. I suspect that a lot of smartshops tend to pull out the sclerotia too soon, since I've heard multiple people say they bought sclerotia but didn't really get anything out of it.

The strain I have are ps. Tampanensis. I've had Mexicana from a crappy, overpriced smartshop before, but the Tampanensis from this guy really blows them out of the water and it's all I've been using since. While the order of strength is usually seen as Mexicana < Tampanensis < Atlantis from weak-ish to strongest, the guy I get mine from tells me his Tampanensis is actually somewhat stronger than his Atlantis because the Tampanensis has been in the substrate for longer, allowed to mature more. I tend to believe him. :p It's the second batch I've gotten from him and both of the times potency was really good. The first batch I had though, I think I lost some magic due to poor drying technique. But this second batch.. Oh boy. This was my previous trip on 4 grams of dried Tampanensis from the same batch (which, amazingly, only equates to 12 grams fresh) :

I don't think I can describe a whole lot. I was a jumbled, destroyed mess. At first I started pacing around uncontrollably. I slumped to the floor. My buddy sleeps on two stacked matrasses. I get between them and stay there for an hour. After that, I get out from between them and grab some pillows and a blanket. I start crying and laughing at the same time, having no control over it or without knowing why I'm doing either. There was no feeling of sadness or joy. Just pure, raw emotions coming out. Like it was feeling that hadn't been processed to a specific emotion yet. I do know that it felt liberating. It felt good to get it all out.

There were CEV and OEV's, sure, but I was too out there to really pay attention to it. Music was playing, but I couldn't recognize it, though it was a playlist I made myself. I barely remember anything from all of it. What I do know, is that this dose or trip wasn't recreational. This was mental, psychological healing. I did not intend for this to happen, but it did. And I'm happy for it.




So this time we felt like taking it a bit easier, a mellow, recreational trip. We were still surprised by what we got out of just two grams..
