Since being introduced to mushrooms in my teens, I have embarked on many a fantastic voyage. After about a decade off I started to dabble again here and there. I then decided to get into the art and science of mycology for myself. So I bought all the things and stuff which brings me to my very first harvest, and my curious first taste.
Purple Mystics. 1.5g dried. I just kinda wanted to dip my toes in the water to try out my little babies, right? So I weighed out and ground up a few nice ones as well as a few aborts and put it all into an emptied out teabag. I've got work tomorrow so I thought this would be a lighter approach, not ingesting any of the solids. Lemon TEK'd for about 20 minutes and some jasmine tea bags and hot water. I didn't squeeze the bag or mess with it at all, just steeped it. I wasnt even halfway done with my tea before I was literally thrown overboard. It hit so hard and so fast, I had a panic attack and momentarily considered the possibility of maaayyyybe having my girlfriend take me to a hospital? What?! What the fuck is HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?! After that first wave passed and I got my bearings...I was in for a ride that I was not prepared for. Apparently I was walking in circles looking at the ground saying "Boy, oh boy, oh boy" which is fitting because I only took so little. I cant imagine where I'd have gone if I decided to just slam 3-4 grams fruit and all. Anyway, I hope this isn't too rambly, I just had to write out how unbelievably humbled I became.
I've done 3-4 gram trips and had my mind blown, but this was different. As far as I can say, this was as intense if not moreso than previous experiences at only a fraction of the dosage. It is the first time I fully ground them to dust opposed to just mincing them on a cutting board. This was just supposed to be a little test drive that quickly turned into a mad dash to the border with the world crashing down in my rear view. The crazy part is that I only drank half of the cup of tea I made for myself! I mean after only 15 minutes and a few good sips, for me to be talking myself out of an actual panic attack was the sign that I saw what I came here to see. I couldn't be more proud and just...blown away at the power and wisdom of these little guys. I can't wait to share them with my friends when the current state of affairs allows. Band practice/writing sessions starts back up soon.
I knew cultivation was going to be rewarding, especially after a few missteps and failures along the way...but wow. I was NOT ready for this (realistically 3/4 gram) partially drank cup of tea to show me the way like it did. "Boy, oh boy, oh boy."
