Trip number 8 & 9 - Micro dose/ low level trip * 1
    #23683335 - 09/27/16 02:06 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Following my 'oh shit' indoors trip (number 7) last time, I decided to try micro dosing as I'd been reading a few articles on it from a variety of sources, including how it can increase concentration, let creative ideas flow and improve general well being.

The first time I tried this was around May or June time I think, I counted out somewhere between 5 and 10 dried and stored liberty caps (psilocybe semilanceata) on a warm Saturday or Sunday afternoon in the garden and chewed away. I had a few things to do in the garden like tidy up the shed and stuff so just got on with that. As the temperature rose my mind wandered and I started to feel a bit agitated, I knew I had to get on with doing stuff but it became more of a chore and I started to forget what I needed to do next, this resulted in me going back into the house for something then when I got there I'd forget what I actually needed. In the end I got everything done and was grateful to lie down on a blanket in the garden and stare up at the clouds. Time drifted by and I felt very comfortable just letting the day float away with me. A while later in the house I was sat on the sofa talking to my wife about stuff and felt nice and chilled, then when I got up I felt 'altered'. It was comparable to when you get carried away in the moment in the pub and don't realise how much you've had to drink until you get up or go outside. I went upstairs to use the toilet and everything seemed so bright, my heart rate increased somewhat and I started to feel anxiety coming on so decided to go and chill on the bed, as I lay down and closed my eyes I felt my mind wandering into abstract thoughts. Shortly after that my wife put the dinner out so I came down but my hunger wasn't there at all, I forced some food down but realised I'd timed it wrong and had once again underestimated the strength of the little shrooms, after dinner the feelings drifted away quickly and I was left a bit drained after the long day.

Bringing it more up to date to Sunday just gone (25th September), I felt like experimenting with a low dose again in the evening so there was less chance of being disturbed. I picked out 8 or 9 of the same shrooms weighing somewhere around 0.25g and rather than eating them with orange juice as I had before I decided to have a beer. This was 7pm. I'd read mixed reports about consuming shrooms with alcohol but the negative reports seemed to refer to mixing them when drunk, whereas my intention was to try and alleviate some of the unpleasant anxiety and muscle tensing when coming up as I'd experienced in my previous higher dose trip report. I also drank down one of those small bottles of pro-biotic milk, not something I usually drink but my wife had them in and I thought I'd try one and it couldn't hurt and may even help protect my gut from any nasties in the shroom material, although I had no background on if there was any truth to this or not, it just felt right at the time.

Immediately after ingesting I did a few bits around the house, washed up etc, one because they needed doing and two so I didn't feel like I needed to just sit down and wait for something to happen, i.e. like I had to keep an eye out for changes in my state of mind like I'd found myself doing at points last time in the house. I reckoned if I was busy doing things I wouldn't get too worked up if the anxiety came on. Once I'd done all that I sat down and made myself comfortable and finished off the beer I'd started earlier. This time I deliberately didn't put the TV on as that had not been a wise move last time. I'd recently picked up a collection of second hand 1970's soul, blues and rock records and had been sorting through them, so I carried on sifting through that lot and found the double LP of Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall from 1972 which caught my eye. After a quick read of the sleeve notes I gave it a dust off, put it on, adjusted the volume and sat back on the sofa to enjoy it. I immediately fell in love with the sound and really felt like I was in the audience.

At some point during listening to the album I became aware that my heart rate had increased and my palms had started to become sweaty, I started to become distracted from the music but kept getting pulled back by the warm inviting sound. At points I found myself staring into the green and red LED's on the amplifier then snapping out of it and looking up at the ceiling or walls and seeing faint shapes, this was a mild effect and could have been caused by staring too long at the same object for too long anyway, but the general feeling was that things had changed and I knew it had gone past the micro-dose point at this stage. My pupils became dilated as proven by a glance in the mirror and the lights seemed very bright Through a combination of the beer, my previous (limited) experience with psilocybin and the relaxing music and surroundings I was able to keep the anxiety to one side. I was aware of it and acknowledged it but felt like I was keeping it in check and in the background rather than it taking control over me, I did have muscle tension in my upper back and right thigh though and wondered if this was anxiety or vasoconstriction related. I also had to get up and go to the toilet a few times which seems to be a recurring thing for me when under the influence, does anyone else get this? At one point I couldn't tell if I'd turned the music up too loud, the music just seemed to be enveloping me in a comforting way and be absorbed by me in my head rather than being emitted from the speakers and 'heard' in the normal sense.

At almost exactly 9pm the amazing album that I'd become lost in finished and I didn't feel like anything could top that so I decided to go upstairs and just lie in bed. My wife was up there watching Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls, I didn't fancy watching it that much and would have been happier lying in silent darkness to get lost in my own thoughts but I enjoyed the company, some small chat, and we watched the program together. After that the TV went off and I started to drift off, by this time my heart rate had got back down to normal levels but I was feeling a nice warm glowing and a light pressure or buzzing in my head, with my eyes closed I saw or more accurately felt/experienced like I was in some massive star field, not like when you might imagine it and it appears to be on a screen in front of you, I actually felt surrounded or part of this flowing scenery. After that I dont remember a thing and I drifted off into comfortable sleep without any dreams that I can remember. On Monday morning I woke up with a smile on my face and spring in my step, even though work was busy and challenging I was able to recall some of the Bill Withers songs from the previous night which helped me through the day with a smile, it felt like a weight had been lifted and things just seemed to flow more easily without me getting bogged down or bothered by little things. last night I had the most detailed dream with what seemed like a long related story line and today my mood has been elevated again. I've been able to get loads done and worked well with my colleagues.

A small dose every now and then or an even smaller micro-dose more often might be just the thing for me, although I am still curious as to what a larger dose would be like I've really got to find the right set and setting before I can be sure of that being the right move for me.

Thanks for reading

I really like being charmed at this level (or a double) of psychedelic inebriation, and Bill Withers Ain't no sunshine is a fave as well!
