Only a couple trips under my belt, but...
    #26918795 - 09/05/20 07:49 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I'm new to the world of shrooms and entheogens in general. Yesterday I had what may be my most impressive trip so far but the experiences have not been quite as impactful as I was thinking they were going to be.

Yesterday I did 8g of P. cubensis and I had my usual come-up which included a mild bit of restlessness and slight irritability but when I was fully in it I found I was feeling this amazing level of happiness with like _everything_.  Not gonna lie it was surreal to me how happy I felt about pretty much everything: trees, the music I was listening to, the breeze in my back yard while I sat there, the dog laying on the grass.  I was involuntarily grinning pretty much for 3 straight hours (not a common event for me).

But there were few if any real visual effects.  In my trips I find that I can "meditatively de-focus" on some random patterns like grass or stone surfaces and see them "breathe" and start to move around, but if I so much as move my gaze the effect stops.  Colors were nice, but nothing "out-of-gamut" or amazingly sparkly.

At 8g I thought I would be having a much more extensive experience bordering on a more "de-personalizing" event/ego death sorta thing.  I'm not complaining though:  the thoughts were amazing, I could feel a definite set of cracks forming in my sense of self and my sense of perception, but it was more like reality as a helium balloon with a really long string: I could let go and feel the string moving through my hands but I could easily grab it and feel reasonably in control at will.

I've spent 17 years on SSRI's and weaned down off of them before trying shrooms.  It's been about 2 months since I was on the antidepressant.  I should think by this time any moderating effects of the SSRI's would be long gone.  The goal in exploring shrooms was to see if the effect on anxiety/OCD would be available to me.  I think that's tbd right now.

At the very least I got to spend an afternoon happier than I have been in years.  So, it's all good.  But I have to say, I was thinking the experience was going to be somewhat different.  Again, not complaining.  Just interested in how it all panned out.  In a month I will probably try a stronger dosage and see where that goes.

Mushrooms aren't always going to be the same potency unless you start doing isolation. The reason you probably didn't feel much is because your Mushrooms aren't very potent. One time I grew a batch of cubensis that was so bad that I could barely feel anything at all. My last cubes are so strong that 1g feels like 2g. It's always random..

Ayahuasca is the same way. That's why some people report going to the jungle and feeling damn near nothing off of their brew.  While other people go down there and damn near lose their minds lol.. Make sure you get your spores from a good vendor..

I was thinking it might be potency. Prior to growing my own I had tried some from a friend who has been growing his own for microdosing purposes.  It was the same sort of effect with his stuff as well. 

I have thought recently about trying to grow Panaeolus cyanescens since they are much more potent, but I don't really know anything about them except for the high levels of psilocybin.

8 grams of cubensis should have you on the ground crying like a little girl lol. It's the potency. You can go extremely far on cubes believe me. People have this idea that cubensis can't take you as far as ayahuasca or lsd but it's not true..

So chances are your years of ssri use has effected your tolerance to substances that use the same receptors.
Would suggest playing with your dosage. Maybe try making a tea so you can use a lot of mushys to get a strong tea without the all the mushroom tissue in your stomach as the body has a hard time breaking it down.
