Unusually intense trip on 2.5g Cubensis/ trip report
    #26550865 - 03/22/20 12:08 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

I want to write this trip report because I took 2.5G of cubensis and feel like it was way more intense than what other people experience. I would like to know if anyone else experienced something similar with this amount

My plan was to have my friend give me a lift to a forest nearby and have him sit with me while the effects take hold but to leave me alone for the rest of the trip. I chewed my mushrooms for a good couple of minutes and the taste kept making me gag. With the mushrooms down the hatch we walked through the forests talking about medieval weapons and about half an hour into our walk I began to feel really tired. So we found a bench off our trail and sat down.

Now the effects started to take hold. My friend was trying to explain what a mesa sword is and I found it really hard to follow what he was saying and carry on the conversation.

This complete inability to form sentences or follow what he was saying made me really nervous. I went immediately for my bottle of OJ because I wanted it to stop but thankfully my friend said "woah there buddy, that will kill the trip." All the colours around me became vibrant, the branches on the ground were rapidly swiching between fractal patterns and the trees in the distance had a glossy veneer to them. About 20 minutes later and a packet of salami half in my mouth and on myself later my friend left to go
home.

The battle in my mind had begun while he was there. I was trying to reason why I was so unable to grasp words or follow conversation and my anxiety grew exponentially. What made it worse was that due to the salami situation I kept getting harrassed by dogs which meant that I got confronted by their owners and again, I couldn't speak. So my anxiety grew. Now the dirt had turned almost white, the moss on the ground a flourescent green and any patches of grass were a purple hue. The ground was constantly breathing and shifting around into different patterns. My focus was still struggling to grasp the last thread of reality and frankly I was scared. In my mind I could see
all the mechanics that I use for conversation and how false they are. I tried keeping them with me but they were stripped away. I could see the way that I think being stripped away also. I was focused on a thick branch in front of me that came to represent the core of myself and the other branches around it were the other facets that I thought to be my character. With my sense of being ripped away from me I knew that I was that thick branch, alone. I was in the maw of terror. Then I forgot who I was

I forgot how I came to the forest, I couldn't remember what had happened before in my life and what I was planning in my future. I didn't know how long I had been sitting on the bench or how long I'll be there. I had given up trying to remember who I was. Why I was sitting on a bench. I could be on the bench for the next day. A month, A year.

Sitting to my right was a tree sappling that came up to my chest more or less. I just remember thinking "Here I am. the tree and me. me and the tree." He felt like a friend who was there for me and his prescence calmed me down. Which is when my salvation came

I put on my headphones and pressed play. This played:

I had served up my soul on a platter for the mushroom and it knew what I had been through. My reward was being plucked from the belly of the beast and placed on the most pure plane of existence. I stared in awe of a cedar tree in front of me as the music played. In my imagination I could picture all the notes dancing in a helix and my soul bouncing around between them. It was a state of utter bliss.

The last hour and a half of the trip I spent listening to Antonin Drovak. The forest was glistening like all the branches were covered in morning dew and the rays of sunshine filtering through the leaves were showering me with love. It was a scene of pure perfection that I won't ever be able to replicate again in my life

As quick as the magic had come it went again. My buddy the tree sapling was back to being a regular sapling, the glossy veneer was gone but the trees were still beautiful. I felt like the mushroom gave me a wink and a nod, "til next year, adieu"

It was a terrifying, revealing and truly awesome trip. Would I want to do it again tomorrow? no. Do I regret taking them?
also no.

Please let me know if you've had a similar experience with this amount or why I would experience this so strongly

Nice report, like your candid delivery.

Is this your first time doing psychedelics, because that sounds pretty par for a 2.5g cubensis experience.  Psychedelics are not like other substances, many people are surprised their first time by the totality of the experience.

The OJ would not have killed your trip.  It may have helped with the anxiety if that was due in part to low blood sugar.  Also, anxiety is a common feeling during the come up and first parts of a trip.  Glad to hear you were able to move past it.  Many people find it easier to deal with given some experience and familiarity with it.

Yeah sounds pretty typical of 2.5g, and also as InfiniteDreams said, the OJ wouldn’t have killed your trip. In fact there’s not a lot I can add to Infinite’s post. Sounds like typical anxiety; this does get “easier” as you get more experienced with what to expect; that first time can be quite a shock to the system! Well handled, sir. Basically what is happening is that the mushrooms are turning off the “default mode network” in your brain, the part that is responsible for who you are, and your ego is fighting it. As you learn, it gets easier to accept this anxiety for what it is, but I don’t think it ever goes away.
Take care

I think you would have done better by, first, tripping where you would not have to interact with normal people and second, having been mentally prepared to "let go" and not fight the "overwhelmingness" which is common at onset. No surprise a little tree stepped up to help you.

Thanks for the advice guys! My first trip was on 15g of Mexicana truffles so I thought I knew what to expect. I took them two years ago and I realised as the effects started that I had mostly forgotten about what the experience was like

Next time I will focus on the mental preparation and the letting go. So the OJ thing is a complete myth?

Oj does not kill a trip. Why should it? It's a myth.

Any yes, the effects you mentioned sound pretty much like a typical mid sized trip. 2.5g are a good dose. Not too high, but not mild either. It can go pretty far.
15g of truffles are usually weaker, so 2.5g of potent cubensis are much stronger than 15g of average truffles.

Beeing outside in nature surrounded by trees, and the sky above, is a wonderfull setting though. :thumbup:

If OJ killed a trip, why would anyone ever have a bad trip?  You can get OJ anywhere, it would be easy to abort the mission.
