Alright guys this is something that I have never heard of however I do believe I have unfortunately developed a minor allergy to my most favorite psychedelic. To be honest it's actually a very strange thing and makes me wonder if it's something I'm doing wrong in the cultivation process.
I first ingested mushrooms when I was 18, I am 2 1/2 months away from turning 30. Mushrooms have been in my life on and off since the first time I used them, however do to some unfortunate life situations I REALLY got into them this year mostly for personal and spiritual growth.
Up until the beginning of this month I had never even had the slightest problem consuming them aside from the expected occasional anxiety when I've accidentally got a little to far out there.
The beginning of this month I was moving some cakes around in the fruting chamber when I accidently knocked off a couple tiny ass pins. I thought to myself eh only a couple pins but I don't want them to go to waste....down the hatch.
Within no more then 2 minutes I felt the classic symptoms of having a minor allergic reaction (very familiar as I recently developed a allergy to poultry strange as that is) throat started feeling really scratchy, irritated if you will also started feeling a little swollen (Not anywhere close to the point where it would affect breathing but noticeable) as well as my lips felt scratchy and a little swollen as well.
To be honest because I had eaten them quite a few times in the past I just chalked it up to basically anything BUT the shrooms. About 2 weeks later I was doing some harvesting, had the house to myself for the day, though heh what a good opportunity for some fresh mushrooms. Decided to prepare and consume them by boiling water soaking and making some fresh mushroom tea (only a baby dose of 15-20 grams) still plenty enough to give me some crazy visuals that I had never experienced off that little of an amount, but 0 feeling a of allergic reaction.
Last night (Christmas eve) I ate 3 grams of Ecuador fruits and 0.5 gram of random aborts, once again, only this time much more quickly. By the time I had swallowed the last mouthful there it was, scratchy irritated swollen throat, and scratchy irritated swollen lips. Right away I got scared I was NOT ready to deal with a allergic reaction and tripping at the same time. I ate a peanut butter sandwich drank a Gatorade and by the time the very first light visual distortions began it was all gone!! (MASSIVE RELIEF!)
Actually I can NOT stress how massive a relief this was. This 3 gram fruit and half gram abort trip for WHATEVER REASON was single handedly the most profound psilocybin experience I have EVER had. Maybe the fruits were very potent, maybe it was because it was the first time I had ever done it in silent darkness, or maybe it was the aborts added to the mix I don't know but almost 24 hours later and I'm still trying to piece together what all went down.
ANYWAYS....is this something that any of you have ever heard about happening, could there be something I'm doing during cultivation that could be causing this effect. I thoroughly dry to the point the thickest part of any given fruit cleanly snaps right in 2 when you try to bend and they had been stored in zip lock bags for no more then maybe 2 weeks.
The reason I'm wondering if it's something I'm doing is because I had never in my life had this happen until I started consuming my own. I also found it interesting that nothing like that happened when I had the tea. Possibly hot water cleaned off any thing that could have been on them or possibly it's just something that has developed over time and it's the fruit itself coming into contact with my mouth causing it and since the actives were pulled out in the tea and the actual fruit bodies discarded that's why it didn't happen? I just don't know.
I'm going to try some experiments in the future very small doses again in tea and also ground to powder and put into capsules to see if i can still ingest safely. All I know is this can't be it for me!
Psilocybin therapy as I like to call it is helping me gain my life back....this just can't be it.....thoughts?? Opinions?? Similar experiences (personally or someone you know/Have heard about) I would really appreciate any engagement in discussion on this topic. Thank you guys so much! I love you!!
