I read on "The Psychedelic Experience" FAQ on Erowid that "After their first trip nearly all trippers find that the visuals they get with their eyes closed (without drugs!) brighten or change, often permanently". Can those of you who have taken mushrooms either verify or discredit this? Also, does Post-hallucinogen perceptual disorder (PHPD) have a less chance of happening when one takes mushrooms rather than LSD?

I think I TRY to make my C.E.V.s brighten or change without drugs. It never comes close to the real thing. You don't have anything to worry about.

Perhaps you'll notice images out of what was once just darkness before but it's nothing intense or remotely trip like. I like to close my eyes and let myself see patterns or images but its more of a concious choice. Nothing scary.

I've never known someone to get PHPD. One thing I have found is that, after using mushrooms my first time, I have a much higher tendancy to have visuals on drugs I would not have had them on before. Specifically, marijuana now gives me mild and pleasant visuals when in a dark room or with my eyes closed.
I've heard, and this sounds quite likely to me, is that you learn how to have visuals from psychedelics...and once you've "learned" how it becomes much easier to have these visuals in general.
Don't worry though, there's nothing to worry about
Good luck eh!

Uhhhh...I am soooo close to trying it for the first time. Months ago I was talking of doing LSD but I've done lots of research and saw that shrooms were the way to go for me. I am pretty much a lightweight...like it only takes a couple hits for me to get stoned. So if and when i go on my first trip, I kinda plan to do only around 1 gram. Even if I do only 1 gram (or less), should i still have someone nearby? Coz I am in a sticky situation with this. The only person I know who has done shrooms--we've been lifelong friends--but it seems as if we've just been kinda aquaitances the past couple years and he like doesn't show emotion or talk that much--maybe due to the fact that he has smoked non-stop for the past several years. And all my other close friends don't even do drugs and probably don't wanna be around for my trip. They actually are anti-drugs. The one other thing I'm concerned about is...I don't want my life to change. Sure, I'm open to new insights and experiences, but...after my trip is over...when I close my eyes, I just wanna see blackness--no visuals. And I guess I'm worried that this will be affected for the rest of my life.

1 gram wont change your life dude
visuals in my opinion are fueled by a more vivid imagination
i too started small with shrooms because i had a bad time with too much HBWR, whatever you do, dont take HBWR!!! shrooms are relaxing at light doses.
