First Time | 1.5 g tea | Golden Teachers
    #26372622 - 12/10/19 08:13 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I've been researching psilocybin for about 6 months now. I've been fascinated by the substance and though I have had no prior experience with psychedelics, I have always been drawn to mushrooms. I've read and posted here on Shroomery and many of you were very helpful. I was clear with my purpose for the most part; it was a mixture of personal curiosity of exploring my own consciousness and mind as well as a desire to better myself and potentially deal with some personal things that weigh heavy on my mind at times. At the same time, I also did not want to go in with too many expectations, as I learned throughout my research that surrender is required. I was ready to let them show me what they must. I am an atheist and not a spiritual person, but I have read countless accounts of people having transcendent and spiritual experiences, and I have to admit that I was very curious about those as well. This might get long but I also need a place to chronicle and put down my thoughts, so why not here.

Sunday, December 1st, 2019:

5:30 pm: I weighed out a little over 1.5 grams of golden teachers. I used a mortar and pestle to crush them to as fine a powder as I could. Boiled some water, added the mushrooms, and 2 tea bags of lemon + ginger tea. Let them sit and steep for 30 mins.

5:30-6:00 pm: Once the tea was steeping, I did some guided meditation to try and clear my head and relax as much as possible. Overall I was in a good headspace. My girlfriend was over and had agreed to trip sit.

6:00 pm: tea had been steeping with the mushrooms and teabags in the kitchen and had come to almost room temp. I decided I would drink the whole mug as it was only 1.5 grams and I didn't want the come-up to be slow and gradual. Tasted great, just like tea with a very slight and mild mushroom flavour. I only consumed some of the fine crushed powder that ended up at the bottom. I'm gonna be honest here and say that I was scared. I had anxiety about having a bad trip (spoiler: I didn't) and I didn't want to consume too much my first time.

6:15 pm: after drinking the tea, I just put on some basketball and thought I would just watch until it kicked in and then decide what to do (music, lay down, walk, etc). At around 6:15-6:20, I started feeling something. Vision seemed sharper and things just felt slightly different. I recall audibly saying out loud "I think I feel something". I also started to feel nausea at this points. It wasn't very pleasant. At one point, I honestly thought I might vomit, I felt very close to it. I calmed myself down and reminded myself "you did not eat any, you just had tea, you're fine". It passed over the next 15-20 minutes.

6:45 pm: suddenly I felt very odd. I'm a huge basketball fan and sports fan, but the game on the TV was suddenly very...jarring..the screaming of the commentators, the fans, so much going on all at once. I was amazed to realize that I had no desire to watch it...almost at all. I turned it off and put on an ambient music playlist I had made earlier. This was MUCH better as it acted like background music.

7-9:00 pm: This is where things started getting a bit weird. The nausea was all but gone. My vision seemed sharper. The lamp in my living room looked brighter. Then I slowly realized that my plain white walls of my condo had a repeating pattern to them. It was a fairly specific geometric shape with 3 sides. The pattern appeared to have the nature and behaviour of blotches and patters we see when staring into the sun or bright light, as in when our retinas are overexposed to photons. This was about the extent of my open eyes visuals (just some minor stuff later in the story). I also started hearing a specific high pitches tone. I paused the music and confirmed it wasn't the music track. I've read other people hearing "shrieks", mine just sounded like a tone, I also felt this pressure throughout my head and body. I then got the urge to just lie down. I closed my eyes and just rested on my couch. I have to be honest, a good portion of time from this point on was really confusing. My mind was all over the place. I was still very much present and aware that I was on my couch, in my condo, with my eyes closed. I couldn't really keep track of my thoughts or time (although time didn't cease to exist or anything). I had numerous closed eyed visuals. I remember 3 specific ones. Everything seems very..geometric. I saw acute angles with waving lines in them, saw geometric shapes colliding, and a rotating fractal like shape. I remember all 3 of these vividly and can draw them out. It was fascinating.

I then opened my eyes and asked my gf what time it was, she said it was around 7:45 pm. We spoke briefly, she asked how I was and how it was going. I recall telling her it was interesting and hard to describe. I remember speaking for some reason felt incredibly difficult, I just did not want to speak (and I'm usually fairly talkative). I remember closing my eyes again and silhouettes and outlines of my gf and other objects remained in my vision. They would blend in with the closed eyed patterns I was seeing. I decided I would rapidly open and close my eyes to see if I could force visuals (I know, sounds strange) and holy shit.. it worked. At a point, I could no longer distinguish whether my eyes were open or closed as the visuals started to get strong and blend with one another (this scared me a lot in the moment, because I felt I was losing touch with reality). I eventually stopped as it was starting to feel very intense.

I was there on the couch for a while, I don't exactly know how long. Eventually, I realized I was no longer having any visuals and felt like the effects were somewhat fading. I was entering the comedown. I could finally speak and I decided to try to explain some of what I just experienced to my girlfriend. I still found myself very much in my head. I had no desire to do anything. I did not want to watch TV, I did not want to play games, I did not want to walk, I did not want to eat. I just wanted to sit and think. I remember very clearly just wanting to sit and think, and I was more than ok with that. I recall feeling hyper-aware of my surroundings, both sights and sounds.

10:00 pm: my gf put on some office on the TV and as I was slowly coming down. I had just spent the last 3 hours in my own head, and parts of it still felt very confusing, I thought some comedy TV would be ok. Holy crap, immediately as the episodes started, I could see "flowing" & "growing" patterns and animations in peoples' shirts and some of the plants in the show. This only lasted a few minutes but thereafter, I became hyper-aware of everyone's emotional states. I saw the sadness, fear, happiness in everyone and found myself really affected by it.

11:00 pm - midnight: I found myself extremely at peace with myself and my body. Everything just felt...ok. I looked at my body and remember thinking that I just look like one of the other 7 billion people on this planet. We're all going through our own journeys. I actually felt clearer mentally. Felt like fog had been lifted. I still had absolutely no appetite though. I smoked some cannabis to stimulate that as I hadn't eaten all day, and that did help. I reflected a lot on my first experience. Saw some slight open eyed visuals, numerous closed eyes visuals. All geometric and patterns, no faces or beings. It was confusing at times, I didn't fully breakthrough either, no ego dissolution, nothing transcendent, but I'm glad I started with this dose. I also thought about the personal issues that weigh heavy, even during the peak, and it didn't send me spiraling into a bad trip. This actually made me feel great. Made me feel mentally strong and I felt as if I can handle this (I'm not underestimating the power of psilocybin, don't get me wrong).

I'm excited to eventually try it again. Maybe in a handful of months. Unsure of dose, possible 2 or 2.5 grams. I will likely do tea again as it went fairly well the first time.

TLDR: drank 1.5 g golden teacher tea for the first time. slight nasuea, some minor OEV, bunch of CEV, no breakthrough, loss of appetite, clearer mind, excited to try again in due time.

Congrats on your first mushy experience and welcome to the fold :wink:

Great read, glad to hear it was a nice introduction. I have yet to consume it in tea form but I'd say if you have "average strength cubes" go for 3-4g next time. (Adjust these numbers based on cube strength and consumption method).

I'm also an atheist but after a few deep mushroom experiences I consider myself a "spiritual" atheist. What does that mean? I guess I'm still discovering it :hehehe:
