5 grams psilocybe cubensis trip report. Level 4 * 1

5 gram psilocybe cubensis trip report

The mushrooms were prepared in a lemon and chamomile tea, and strained into a glass. I drank the tea around 8 AM, having not eaten since the night before.

Setting: Alone in a large dark bedroom, only light coming from lamp on nightstand. Entire wall to the left of the bed is a mirror which plays a role in the trip. This is my first time with a dose like this, my only other mushroom trip was 2.5 grams

0:15- Body high begins, visuals start coming in, depth perception is altered, and there is breathing of objects.

0:30-Visuals get intense, fractals encompassing my visual field. Alien architecture appearing on walls and behind closed eyes. It was around this point where it really became a trip. As the effects began to intensify, I looked at my ceiling, and all my emotions visually projected onto the ceiling. The side of the room that was lit by the lamp seemed to represent the positive emotions I have, and the dark side represented negativity. I heard a voice crystal clear. It said "pick one" I was aware that it would probably be a good idea to go with the light, but something intrigued me about the darkness, I physically moved my body to the dark side of the room, and focused my attention on it.

0:45-At this point, the trip turned into possibly the worst thing I've ever gone through. I will try my hardest to explain just how horrifying it was. I was in the ultimate state of pure negativity. I don’t know where it was coming from, but I felt like I had fucked myself over permanently. I felt this absolutely gut-wrenching sense of eternal doom. I kept hearing these ridiculously loud voices from inside my own head. There was one very distinct voice that kept saying random shit like "SHUT THE FUCK UP" "PICK IT UP" "FIND IT" "5 FUCKING GRAMS?!" I walk into my bathroom, BEGGING for it to stop. I was on the floor in the most vulnerable, emotionally destroyed state I've ever been in, crying,  going "please just stop, why is this happening" things like that. Time dissolution was straight up unfair  at this point. I would go through what felt like an extremely long time of pure terror, and I'd pick up my phone and see that one minute had gone by. At this point in the trip the visuals were insane, literally everything in my visual field was taken over by colorful, three dimensional fractal geometry, along with all the other typical visual effects of a high dose of psychedelics. Very difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t seen it themselves.

1:30-I walked into another room and called my dog in and I just laid there with him, he could tell I was going through something and he really helped me out and things slowly got so much better. The trip suddenly became absolutely blissful. I began smiling very wide, laughing at the 3 dimensional fractal visual hallucinations that were tearing reality apart in every which way. I begin crying tears of joy. It was amazing. During this euphoric state, sometimes that one voice yelling previously would try and re-enter my consciousness, and I just laughed it off. I started thanking my dog over and over again for helping me out like that. I also learned that changing setting is great for a bad trip. I've never been someone who really shows emotion, I often suppress things, but those mushrooms really forced me to go through and experience the deepest possible version of every emotion on the spectrum.

2:30-After the emotional rollercoaster, the trip became a more philosophical one. I went back into the original tripping room and stared into the mirror, watching myself get immersed in visuals, streams of code would run up and down my skin, and my facial features would constantly move around to make me look just like a bunch of different people. One other very bizarre thing I experienced was if I stared at my arm or any part of my body, I began to have what seemed like XRay vision, it looked like I was seeing right through my flesh, I know this wasn't really happening but it seemed so real. The rest of the trip I spent a lot of time contemplating human consciousness and evolution. Unfortunately I just can't piece together the conclusions I came to at that point. I just didn't bring much back with me. I was saying things about a “multi-dimensional library containing all human experience” (I later found out this is what we call the Akashic Records) at the time I was pretty sure I had discovered the meaning of life, but I had a hard time bringing everything back into this reality. There was one point where I had been sitting there in front of the mirror, just thinking, and tripping balls. And I look up at the mirror, and as I begin to say this sentence out loud, the visuals began to distort my face to resemble and early-human type creature, I said "THE PURPOSE OF EXISTENCE FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS ANIMAL KINGDOM IS..." and sober me just can't remember the rest. But I swear it was true. I wish I could convey all of the thoughts and conclusions I had during this trip but I just can't piece together the puzzle right now. Maybe it will come back to me.

3:30 I really began coming down at this point, the visuals slowly subsided over the course of the next 30 minutes, and reality started coming back piece by piece. I was fully baseline by around the 4 and a half hour mark. Short trip  because it was prepared in tea. So in summary, I was thrown through the entire spectrum of human emotion, and I discovered our purpose as animals in this physical reality (and soon forgot). I would consider this a level 4 trip .

Glad you made it through. On my higher dose trips I get to a point where I can feel my fight or flight going wild but I know that I just have to stay calm.

That sucks bro,

I blame McKenna, 5 grams is not a "large dose", you guys just psych yourself out.

I personally haven't had a bad trip on anything.
I found mushrooms especially to be very euphoric so the bad trip thing I dont understand. When I have seen people get them, they tend to be the more neurotic trippers.

Stop thinking, and let go. I believe 90% of bad trips happen for the same reason certain people tend not to enjoy roller coasters... They think to much about the consequences if something goes wrong.

Mushrooms are a teacher and what teacher isnt going to get mad when their student is bombarding their lesson with constant questions?

What do you mean "5 grams is not a large dose"???  It's a big dose for sure that will send most people to the moon if they lay in the dark....  I hate when people try to act bad ass by acting like they can take more drugs. What is a large dose to you? Are you fat?

I hate when people try to act like they are experienced by quoting Mckenna literally word for word... " ...to the moon if they lay in the dark"

Have you ever had an original thought or is it just quote and then attack? you are like a catholic priest of old....

So I change that its not Mckenna... I blame its people like you that regurgitate it and road block people from truly knowing the mushroom

Quarter oz plus is large does range for cubes, 5 is the upper end of a mid range dose and is still very controllable. IMO anything below 4-5g is recreational. 

No im not fat. im 6 3 and about 200 lbs. but I do like how you snuck it in at the end like that... very eff******e of you :smile:

Easy there Pocahontas....slow your roll...Snowdaze was just sharing his opinion, which is one based on common sense and conjecture. 5 grams is a hell of a dose and will send a  neophyte far further than they may have expected. There are tons of reports in these threads of people with good intentions taking a 5 gram dose or even smaller and winding up in emergency rooms.

Maybe you have a very high tolerance for these entheogens and are one of the few that can gamble at these heights and return safely consistently...but, to presume that everyone has the same chemistry as you is just plain wrong and quite inconsiderate. These drugs are not a pissing contest....they should be taken at first in lower doses and then worked up a gram or so at a time.:mushroom2:

Nice trip report! I've done over 7 grams and as you'd imagine it's quite the experience. Solid level 4 trip. If you ever shoot for a level 5 try seven grams and no tea or lemon tek, just eat them stright and go for the full length experience :zomgwtf:



Glad you pulled through the negative start and got to finish in a good place! Good vibes :mushroom2:

Great trip report!

It's the time distortion that's so dangerous at higher doses, because when things go bad, they can go bad for a VERY long time experientially. 

PS: I am NOT a badass, and do NOT have some superhuman tolerance for high doses of psilocybin.  I learned this the hard way.

OP-- this was a very good, very honest report-- I hope many people read this --both the other explorers that are looking to learn some of the many directions this can go-- and the old ones, like myself-- that remember quite freshly when reading such a familiar (in its own way) tale.


These things aren't toys-- it's serious business after a certain threshold. Seriously mind-opening, and that can result in just about as many variations on the experience as there are variations in the user.

I hope you've had your fill of a 5g dose for awhile-- and maybe back into it again someday when you feel you're called again. I only dosed that high (and higher) a handful of times-- and I tell you, they were each "instructive".

Thanks again for the post, and welcome to the forum--


And-- "chosenone"-- I suspect you are reading/writing your posts in the way you would talk to your friends--in your voice. To you, your comments don't seem rude, dismissive, or condescending. But they very much read that way--because we don't know who you are. Remember that.
Read what you wrote as we do-- as strangers listening-- and you realize perhaps that you are saying things that appear to mock someone for taking 5 grams and tripping hard. You "sound" rude and arrogant in the tone of the words. I'm hoping this isn't the way you intended to write--being so new here.

As for the details--most any experienced user would agree 5 grams of full-potency shrooms is a very bold dose.
Your implying it isn't reads to us as though you are either not speaking from any actual experience, or are are perhaps one of the rare exceptions to the average--some people are simply not as affected by certain amounts.

Either way-- I hope you read your posts in light of how others may see them, and back away from the nastiness a little.

This forum is worth your time, and you'll make friends and learn a lot by trying to be friendly and choosing simply not to post when you're not in the mood to communicate that way.

He started the whole issue by getting passive aggressive like a girl..

He's a goof needs to stop misquoting books and lectures he has never read/heard and using it to scare people.

OP thought he was taking a "hero dose" and succumbed to extreme anxiety because of people like him repeating it over and over.
Clinging to, and defending what he thinks the scene orthodoxy is, just like a catholic priest circa 1300.

5 grams liberty caps = hero does.
5 grams cubes is barely over a party dose.

That's all I have to say about it

:facepalm: you must be getting weak ass shrooms bro. 5g of cubes is not a party dose. Most experienced people will agree.

I have done shrooms with hundreds of people.

The only place this "5 gram" meme lives is here and forums that are all the same people.

Don't be scared of mushrooms op, if you are psychologically sound.

I HAVE seen one genuine "things go wrong" trip, but that was on maybe an 8th, some ecstasy, he was crazy(believed he was god), and a martial artist, and he just busted the shit out of everything.

He went to the hospital, and was, of course, fine in the morning.

And regardless of any thing that Mckenna has ever said 5g of cubensis is considered a large dose by most people. You sound like a juvenile little kid "he started the whole issue"

5 grams isn't a large dose? What kinds of mushrooms are you getting..
I consider anything above 4 grams to certainly be a high dose.


Quote:

Mushrooms (for most people) tend to be anxious in the beginning and euphoric at the end. Most bad trips only last about 3 or 4 hours tops because the comedown tends to be extremely positive, sometimes the whole trip is positive and only the very beginning is anxious but still..it's the beginning part that gets people. There are stages to the mushroom experience and psilocybin is known for making people feel like there's "something wrong" and they're also known for sending people on emotional rollercoasters to the point where people experiences feelings of extreme happiness as well as feelings of sadness and even terror. Psilocybin is also generally described as being more transfixing than the average psychedelic and it can really teach you a lot about illusions and fear itself. I feel like the illusion of fear and its relation to the human imagination is one of the very archetypes of psilocybin.

Sorry but you don't sound very experienced with psychedelics at all.

Well I guess I was right.

Actually you can point it out and even address it and argue against but unfortunately for you it's absolutely true so you thinking it's the funniest thing only goes to prove my point that you aren't as experienced as you claim to be.
