Last nights trip - No visuals, only a river of thought

Last night I took my largest dose of P. Cubensis yet and, while it was only 3g, it was still a new experience and was potent enough to really impact me.
My dosage was taken orally via capsules which led to a much longer onset than I had expected. I'm used to using tea or lemon / OJ tek which which take under 30 minutes to onset in my experience. Last night took roughly 1.5-2 hours to come up and it was pretty gradual. I also started smoking cannabis two hours in to help combat the nausea.
After smoking a few bowls I would say my come up rapidly turned into my peak so I drew a bath, brought out my sensory lamp and just soaked for what felt like hours. I wasn't getting any visual hallucinations but my sensory lamp projects a galaxy-like pattern on the ceiling which, combined with lukewarm bath water, made me feel like I was gently floating through space.
In this abstract yet beautiful head-space I was in, I felt like I had amazing clarity. I thought about how abstract concepts such as the universe and spirituality are and I realized that we may never know the ultimate truth about these things which is OK. Instead of trying to solve the mystery of the universe, god, and all these other things that we claim to understand, I've decided it is better to simply enjoy the experience - But still be curious! Just don't go mad trying to understand the truth.
All this space and galaxy thought led to more introspective type thoughts and I really started thinking about my own life. First, psilocybin always makes me so profoundly grateful for the life I was given and all the amazing people and experiences in it. So there was all those thoughts of recognition and appreciation. But then I started thinking about aspects of my life that I am not pleased with but CAN change. I think this is really constructive on psilocybin because I am able to analyze negative traits and aspects about myself, without bias, and formulate a plan to improve them. Its like my mind is able to view itself as a therapist would and work out these problems without being to harsh on thyself. I also try to avoid thinking about things I don't like but CANT change because those thoughts can send you spiraling.
Takeaway: I wish I had eaten 3.5g instead of 3g but I will try again in a few weeks. I also wish I would have meditated because I have a really cool guided meditation that, when paired with headphones and an eyemask, produce a really vivid CEV's and transcendental experiences. HAVE ANY OF YOU TRIED DRINKING LACROIX ON MUSHROOMS? ITS PHENOMENAL. Next time I think I will also try brewing tea again because I actually prefer the shorter onset time - Should I keep my dose at 3g instead of 3.5g if i'm brewing tea?
If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read!

This is the kind of trip I'm after a lot of the time.
I like to take a snapshot of my current state of existence and sieve through its many aspects... finding those appreciations, things to focus on/improve upon, or things to shed.
I find there to be no better healer than those types of trips.
Are you taking mushrooms you grew yourself? And have you specified a selected strain from whatever variety it is you're growing? You might be finding inconsistencies because of the genetic variation that you're working with. Or, if they're from another source, that source might be working with a genetic variety that varies in potency.
3g should have most people hallucinating. Most certainly if you took (if I'm not mistaken) 2g before that had you hallucinate.

I think maybe some people are less prone to having visuals than others.
Did you have any CEV's or no visuals whatsoever?
I generally don't get OEV's outside of wall breathing and slight distortions even on 3-3.5g. I do get pretty vivid CEV's though on most doses above 2g. But I get a very intense body and "spiritual" experience on those doses.
Maybe the OEVs will come for me one day or maybe some of us need more to get OEVs.

I had short glimpses of CEV's and they were really cool but I think if I would have tried my normal meditation routine or just layed and closed my eyes for longer this dose would have given me deeper and more vivid CEV's. I wish I would have because that is usually my favorite aspect of a trip but I still enjoyed it and there's always next time.

I wasn't receiving much visual hallucinations besides typical distortion type stuff but I did experience glimpses of vivid and colorful CEV's. I Think if I would have meditated or just closed my eyes for longer during my peak I could have induced stronger and more vivid CEV's - I wish I would have but there's always next time.
And they are home grown golden teachers and were gifted to me by a good friend. I believe they are pretty potent but my last dose was roughly 11 days prior and I micro dose every 4 days. So, I may have a bit of a tolerance built up. I believe that they are all from the same flush if that indicates consistency. But I think I'm going to wait at least 3 weeks for my next dose and consume less cannabis in between. Then, I may approach 3g or 3.5g again using tea.

good write up that sense of appreciation and acceptance - is like being at one with how things are and what they mean even when they mean different things so many times. It really is healing when you can turn it towards seeing a few things more clearly and you can adjust some habit and in a small way make things better.
this is the peach. a great harvest! not like the average dream.

You sound pretty grounded to me. So on that basis, sir, I would recommend you try at least 3.5g! I would go so far as to recommend 4g the next trip, but that is a big jump from 3G. So why not go for 3.7g?
On that dose, you will get pretty much the full psychedelic headspace, you will transcend space and time, you maybe will have deja vu, and telepathy, you may have really photographic memories of past events, you may have full 100% lucid recollection of past thoughts, past dreams.
You’ll be able to trawl the corridors of your mind, walk through neatly filed doorways of memories. You’ll have telepathy. You’ll read body language and thoughts in significant others. And you will have decent OEVs, and mind blowing CEVs.
Also consider smoking cannabis.....ONCE you get to the peak, Nd not before. Set a timer for two hours after drinking the tea. Then smoke a bowl m joint.
Good luck, and mush love DJ Ed

I think I may go for 3.7 and set a 2 hour timer to consume any cannabis like you said. Your description of those effects are exactly what I'm interested in. Thanks for the great advice!

You’re welcome. Sorry for the bad spelling!
Cannabis has direct synergies with mushrooms. It can be very intense, so take it slowly. You will appreciate the effects.
