A Humbling Journey to Hell - 8g Golden Teacher Lemon Tek - Bad Trip
    #26697215 - 05/26/20 02:39 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

My prior experiences with psilocybin include splitting an eighth with a buddy about 12 years ago (enhanced visual acuity), and 7g/12g of dried golden teacher, respectively on two separate recent occasions. The latter two trips were full of feelings of love, connectedness with the universe, 2d and light 3d visual hallucinations with eyes closed, breathing objects, and a greater appreciation for music. There was no loss of my grip on reality whatsoever. Given that I had tried these doses and hadn't had the slightest hint of a bad trip, a friend and I decided to try 8g of golden teacher with the lemon tek method and boy did I not know what I was in for.

We each crushed up our 8g of dried golden teachers in cups using basic kitchen utensils and proceeded to pour in about 8.5oz of lemon juice each into our cups of chunky mushroom matter. We set a timer for 30 minutes and upon beeper choked down our glasses just after sunset. Many gags later, it was time to await our journey. It seemed within minutes, I felt a slight heaviness coming on. Within 20 minutes, with a YES album playing in the background, the visuals started kicking in and I said out loud "oh boy, this is going to be good" -- this is where things started to go terribly wrong. To start with, the the AC hadn't been on, and this particular day caused the house to heat up to the high 80s. I started to feel this increasing anxiety/panic which I had never felt before with shrooms. I turned off the music to see if that was causing the feeling, but it just continued. I started pacing around the house and eventually headed downstairs to the basement where it was cooler only to find that the dog had tore apart a trash bin and left debris all over the floor. My anxiety/state of panic increased further. This is where the trip kicked in full force.

I remember being unable to get comfortable -- I wanted the comfort of a blanket and pillow, but the house was too hot and it felt like my skin was melting. The 3D visuals with eyes-closed and the warped reality with my eyes-opened was vivid, intense, and uncontrollable. Normally this would be enjoyable, but with the torn-up room and heat I felt like I could not breathe. I remember standing up and laying back down a in a loop, thinking I had died and was in hell. I kept asking myself if I was dead, if this is what death feels like, if this is hell, and if I had been here before. It felt quite deju-vu-esque. It was totally silent except for a very deep and subtle pulsating. It felt like I was in a domain where I was the only conscious being. It was terrifyingly lonely. It felt like being alone in an existence where no one else exists.

At this point I felt more panicked and anxious than I have ever felt in my life. I called my buddy downstairs and just gave him a hug... It felt so grounding. I said to him, "oh my god man, I just needed a hug." But he was a bit weirded out and put off by it hahaha. I got a sense of being judged which caused my panic and anxiety to rise even higher to the point where I thought I may have been having a serious medical issue. I asked my buddy if he could find me a phone. Neither of us could find our phones, so I panicked even more. I started freaking out, I thought he may have been hiding the phones from me (turns out he wasn't).

So I left my house and started walking down the street to his mothers house (3 streets over) where I knew there would be a phone and a human not on mushrooms. As I was walking through the neighborhood, I could not see where I was going and I couldn't feel my limbs (no clue how I managed to walk). As I made my way down each street, the streets were getting longer and longer and it felt like it was taking an eternity to reach my destination, so I started jogging. Finally, after what felt like three weeks, I made it to his mothers house, and in a panicked fashion asked her if I could use her phone so I could call a family member. To add insult to injury, their house was even hotter than mine (probably 90F) and I felt like I was going to die of dehydration. When my buddy arrived a few minutes after me, he was pissed off at me for having a bad trip and I just remember saying again and again "I just need an understanding voice/ear" Their house was so hot I ended up laying outside on their hard deck using my sweatshirt as a pillow. After a few call attempts (with my friend's mother working the device) I was able to get a hold of my aunt and uncle who live about 25 minutes away. When she answered I just said "Jules, I took too many magic mushrooms. Do you think you could come pick me up? I'm panicking and don't know what to do" [writing this is bringing back the panicked feeling]. Without hesitation they left to come scoop me up and I asked her if she could stay on the phone with me because I "just needed to hear a friendly voice." Time seemed at a standstill, the 25 minutes it took for them to arrive felt like hours and hours. Eventually they picked me up and we went back to my house.

I laid down on the back deck on a lounge chair while my aunt got the AC running to cool the house down. My uncle was sitting right next to me, I was holding his hand to keep me grounded, because at this point I had basically lost my entire grip of reality. I kept asking whether or not I was going to be ok and when/if things would go back to normal. I kept thinking I had lost my mind and would never get it back. It was terrifying. My uncle was very reassuring and said I was fine and that if I was in any kind of medical trouble they would have me at the hospital in a heartbeat. In my mind, I kept thinking he was just reassuring me to keep me calm while in the meantime an ambulance was on the way or something.

After the peak started to fade, I began to transition to this deep introspective state about my deep psychological self and about life in general. I could probably spend two days writing about this, but in a nutshell, I realized I had this hardened mass of psychological blockages/issues in my life which had grown into a tangled mess over many years. In any normal state it would be too hardened to break apart, but the mushrooms completely de-tangled the rats nest allowing me to see each individual strand and the consequences of them. It allowed me to see clearly, the root reasons dictating why I behave the way I do in all scenarios. For example, it showed me *why* I put up a fake confident face around others when I'm not really that confident. It showed me both that I tend to pretend everything is ok when it's not, and *why* I do it. It showed me that I'm more lonely than I tell myself I am. It showed me all the little lies I've told myself over the years and how it's affected my life. At one point I remember having my hand on my aunts shoulder, crying, and saying "You've told me for years how important family is, and I never truly got it until now. Family is the most important thing in the world. Thank god you two are here." It made me realize how important family is and how important it is for people to have a support system of friends and family; It also gave me total empathy for all the people in the world that don't have a support system. Lastly (for this post), is how it made me realize all the things I could change to better my life; All the low hanging fruit I could tackle right away to improve my reality became crystal clear, like not drinking, not staying up too late, etc, along with a host of other improvements I can make. The list of realizations, as I said, could go on for days but I will stop there. I woke up the next morning to a note I wrote to myself as the trip went south which read "Remind me never to take mushrooms!!!"

As negative, embarrassing, and scary as this trip was, the psychological insight gained feels like it would take the equivalence of 20 years of therapy to uncover. I feel like the deepest issues hidden away in my psyche have been loosened and broken apart. I feel like I can breathe a calm breath for the first time in years. My days feel less overwhelming now. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

I knew this was going to be a good one after you said everything went terribly wrong after only a few minutes into the trip. Also, you went straight to 7 and 12g doses on your 2nd and 3rd mushroom trip? Geez man I tapped out after my measly 8th; it scared the shit outta me.

Glad you got something positive out of your nightmare experience though.

Wow! You have a great aunt and uncle to be such great trip sitters!

Simple things like uncomfortable temperature can really set things off. Either way 8g is a lot of mushrooms. I’ve never been anywhere near that level but from my 3.5g experiences I can only imagine 8g would rip my reality apart instantaneously.

Thanks for sharing! Did you talk with your friend about what happened?

Aw man!  I had that journey this weekend.  Actually came here after being a long time lurker just to get it out.  I like you am glad it happened because a good deal of things were put into perspective but while it was happening it was horrific.  I can in all honesty say that it was the second hardest psychological item I have ever experienced in my life.  I feel better and not as haunted today but yeah.  *hugs*

Haha, well for the 7g we started off with an eighth each and about an hour and a half in, after we felt it out, we ate the other eighth each. And the 12g was after I had eaten about 2.5 hours beforehand so it wasn't in a completely fasted state. I'm convinced at this point though, that the lemon tek either doubles or triples the potency. Thank you for the kind words :smile:

I couldn't agree more. I am so grateful for my aunt and uncle, and quite frankly, all of my family and friends after having this experience. I thought I was grateful before, and perhaps I was, but my gratitude for the people around me has increased 10 fold. I agree with regards to the temperature, and as of now I'm convinced it was the main thing that set things in the wrong direction. My friend is still pissed at me. He's a very simple minded sort of person (to put it nicely) and so getting deep about what happened to me psychologically seems futile. I made an attempt with a few heartfelt paragraphs after he texted me the next morning, but his response was basically "I don't even know what to say to you. Just wanted to make sure you weren't dead."

I've looked up bad mushroom trips on youtube since this all occurred and it seems to be pretty commonplace for bad trips. Link me to your story, I'd like to hear more about it :smile:

Sorry to hear about you not being able to discuss the occurrence with your friend. One thing I realized from my experiences is that you can't trip with everyone who is your friend, family member, etc. And tripping with someone who you can't really be open with or trust should things go south can be a cause for a bad trip. Probably why it seems that most people prefer to trip alone (on mushrooms more than LSD from what I see. I only have experience with mushrooms so I can't comment on that personally). But I generally like to do mushrooms alone for those reasons.

Hit the nail on the head. I doubt I'll ever trip with this person again. His reaction to me during the trip made things so much worse. I felt like I was "doing something wrong" and just wanted to know what I should be doing to not feel like my grip on reality was gone. He reacted very patronizing, saying things like "you're being ridiculous -- just sit back, close your eyes, and enjoy the free light show." He didn't realize that it wasn't this simple in my current state. At his mothers house I said to both of them "I'm so sorry about this, I feel like I'm intruding I just don't know what to do with myself" and his response was "Well you are at this point" (in an angry/annoyed voice) -- Which sent me spiraling even further.

Crap that's a bummer, at that point I'd rather just struggle alone.

Things can get so weird on mushrooms I feel that, in order to be with someone for the experience, you really need to be incredibly open (or at least open to being so open) and have the capacity for intense vulnerability with yourself and from the others around you. Otherwise when shit gets beyond weird, you're left spiraling deeper into obscurity as people give you weird looks (which are compounded by how hard you're tripping).

But glad you're safe. It shocks me how he could behave such a way on mushrooms. But it goes to show you how vastly different experiences can be for people (and how, for some, the ego is too firmly in place to let go and allow that true vulnerability).

This is exactly spot on (at least from my limited bad trip experience). I was completely open and vulnerable and just needed someone there to listen and understand. That person was not him. I can't imagine how traumatized I'd probably feel today (4 days later) if I wasn't able to open up and be vulnerable with my aunt and uncle. I spent about two hours spilling my deepest flaws and concerns as a human and they were the much needed understanding ear. They responded with reassuring words and sound/comforting advice. From now on, unless I'm with a person I trust to that degree, I'll be taking much lower doses by myself.

You're better off that way. But you don't need to scale your dosage back to a micro-dose when you're ready (unless you're only looking for that micro-dose experience). I mean 8 grams, in my opinion, means you have a set of steel balls on you :hehehe: I'm still struggling with resistance from my ego to go to 4g (my highest being 3.5ish). But even so, anything under 2g feels like im just trying to get "high" (which isn't necessarily bad).

Either way, welcome to the shroomery! Can't wait for your future discoveries in that wonderful space.

And here's some  :amusedapplause: for having the balls to take such a powerful journey!

Good point. I am interested in experimenting with microdosing to see how it might (or might not) augment intense mental work, but maybe my next actual trip will be somewhere in the ballpark of 2g. I really believe the lemon tek consumption method alters the potency/bio-availability significantly. I've been doing a fair share of reading in other people's trip report threads and it sounds like despite only having done 3.5g, you've run the gamut in terms of experiences. Your advice seems to hit the nail on the head in all cases. I just picked up this book you recommended in one of the other threads for the kindle.

The steel balls and applause giphy got me laughing out loud hahaha :grin: I must have "lucked out" with the 7g and 12g experiences. They tricked me into being cocky when I probably should have remained cautious. I just had no other point of reference that would lead me to believe an 8g dose would be so shattering.

I’ve had one really super strong liberty cap experience with full blown ego death! I’ve had quite a few really intense, yet unrewarding trips, particularly recently. And as I’ve gotten older, I have had really super intense, super scary, just about managing to ride it out kind of territory........from as little as 2.5g dry cubensis.

I would say I have had one bad trip,, in almost 35 years of taking mushrooms. That was recently. From 3.5g of very old dried golden teacher!

So what am I saying? Basically, I never take them for granted, and I am generally always anxious during the come up.

But we keep on coming back to the wonderful headspace, and lessons :cookiemonster:

Hard to say. Now that I've experienced a bad trip and have come out the other side alive I think I might have an easier time handling the situation next time.

Oh my man.... do I relate to this! So many similarities in our bad trips except that I was FREEZING COLD (in Australia) and when I bailed out I called a mate who looked after me super well.

Hell isn't underground, its under your cortex somewhere.

Heres my report if you are interested

This was some trip, I am happy you got something good out of it in the end.

About 2 weeks ago I also did a high dose trip which went into the dramatic direction and one of the main drivers for that was temperature. I have now learned that I shouldn't try to trip if it is too warm (i.e anything above +25C / +77F) as the mushrooms make me feel even hotter and there's a good possibility I will suffer an heat stroke which nearly happened on that trip. I also managed to similarly work out a lot of problems and gain a much greater appreciation of my family and friends during the ordeal.

During one trip last year I also more or less lost contact with someone who was something along the lines of a friend. That trip showed his true colors and they weren't pretty so to speak...
Possibility of good company during a trip is absolutely essential, it can really make a difference as you have found out ~

I just added a few more sentences to the third paragraph to make my "experience in hell" more descriptive. After talking out the experience with a friend I realized it wasn't quite as descriptive as it could have been.

I’ve had one really super strong liberty cap experience with full blown ego death! I’ve had quite a few really intense, yet unrewarding trips, particularly recently. And as I’ve gotten older, I have had really super intense, super scary, just about managing to ride it out kind of territory........from as little as 2.5g dry cubensis.

I would say I have had one bad trip,, in almost 35 years of taking mushrooms. That was recently. From 3.5g of very old dried golden teacher!

So what am I saying? Basically, I never take them for granted, and I am generally always anxious during the come up.

But we keep on coming back to the wonderful headspace, and lessons :cookiemonster:



Interesting, do you have any trip reports of these experiences on here? And certainly words of the wise, I was so humbled by this experience that I necessarily can't take them for granted ever again haha.

I read your report and responded. You should become a writer if you aren't already. Amazing write-up.

Yeah I am absolutely convinced heat was a major factor for me. It's incredible coming on here and seeing all the shared experiences.

I tried to write down about my liberty cap ego death, from 30 year old memories; did not do it any justice. But here is my attempt to capture the important parts of that experience that have stayed with me for life:

* What I don’t capture is that the part where I felt like a spark of energy.....lasted for thousands of years: I particularly remember it was cold, dark, and LONELY.


We boiled up about 1500 liberty cap mushrooms. It was almost half a carrier bag!The resultant liquid was dark thick disgusting tasting. Even mixed 50:50 with Vimto cordial, it caused almost irrepressible vomiting. I instantly wanted a dump, so went upstairs in Clooney' house on Washington Street. About six of us had shared the brew, so we'd all had a super heroic dose. Soon the dragon picture above the fireplace came to life and started flying around the living room. We got scared so decided to go outside. It was hard though tying our shoe laces. The end of Glynn’s boots grew teeth and started chomping.It was now about eight o'clock and dark. It was also raining with a chilly wind. Typical September night in Accrington.
Met jacks friend billy on his moped. He later died of heart problem. 36.
Me and Glynn ended up on broadway. Shop doorway sheltering from the persistent rain. We watched all sorts of fantastic visuals over the shops on broadway. Like dinosaurs made of exploding fireworks, flying through the rainbow coloured rain. As we sat there sheltering having a fag, we molded into each other,  it was really weird. We were one entity.
I stood up and Glynn disappeared backwards, almost like he zoomed out. I panicked and walked further into town.
Ended up near oremrod street. Crying up to the sky, one side god, opposite side the devil looking down at me.
I cried I'd only done 800, but I'd never do them gain if they let me live.
Next thing I remember was being a spark of electricity floating in the vast empty infinity of black space.
Then the taxi drivers outside Lancs telegraph taxi rank in accy picked me out of the gutter where the rain water had been gushing over me.
Got back to clooneys where we all shared war stories. I got the soggy fags out of my coat pocket!
Missed work the next day.
Oh forgot a few things. Toy town! We used to call how everything loooked as Noddys Toy Town. A bit like in the Soft Mints hey mr soft advert. Trying to cross Plantation Street, and the cars seemed to take forever PPROACHING BUT THEN PASSED at the speed of light so it was impossible to cross any roads. Rang up sue to come and get me and Glynn from phone box on Plantation street and she basically told us to F off. We freaked and walked into town in an attempt to walk up to Thwaites road Ossy! Evil bitch!
Freaked me out for years.
Aged about 21.

Going out with such weather seems like it wouldn't have been all that good of an idea. I'm happy nothing serious happened in the end.

But damn, 1.5k mushies, that must have been hell of a patch to harvest stuff from lol. I'd like to try these mushrooms someday, I know they grow in my country but where to get them I'm not so sure of, all the usual places people know of are scouted by police too...

I’m surrounded by common land moors, high up. Try to get yourself somewhere high up where sheep, cattle, horses feed. Once you’ve found a patch, you’ll never forget the look of the grass, or the look of the mushrooms :thumbup:

That sounds lovely, unfortunately there's nothing alike here :frown:
I can easily find amanitas though, but I lack any desire to try those lol

The red with white dot psychedelic Amanita? If you can find them, you should be able to find liberty caps. Ask around (discretely :awesome:)

Yup, those ones indeed lol. It maaaaay have been possible to find the liberty caps nearby pasture, but it has been turned into a cereal field for many years now (and all other fields in the general area have been too) and everyone knows each other so discreetly doing things is sort of not gonna happen. Once there actually grew blue bruising mushrooms on a field where my parents had sheep decades ago but they were not the normal kids but some super weak ones.

The time for them is getting near though or already has begin. This and next month are the when they are normally found from what I know.

I also wish it was easy to actually grow them, but it seems very few have succeeded and nobody has managed to grow any substantial amount...

Also, I like that trip place you got built recently, it looks very nice ~

It’s liberty cap season here too, but I need a good 4 hours for the round trip and haven’t found the time to take the dogs out for a discrete 4nhour walk yet :-(

Yeah the chill zone is coming on. Painting the internal walls then we can get a carpet or vinyl down, then I can move my speakers in full time, and a settee :-)

I had a bad trip in hot weather too.  There were other factors at play, such as my inability to communicate with my trip buddy, but mostly it was the heat, specifically the feeling that I couldn't escape.  I had taken (wrong forum, I know) 10g of Tampanesis sclerotia.
