Cheers to the forum and new member here! I'm just coming down now from my first proper magic mushroom trip in life and want to reach out and share. I'm currently over 7 hrs in now.
I first did magic mushrooms over 20 years ago, they were nothing compared to this trip. I picked up some Albino Penis Envy, Golden Teacher and Blue Meanie cubes. Finally, some quality product .
After mountain biking 25 km on a nice day today, I sat down and within half an hour took 1.5 grams of dried Albino Penis Envy mushrooms. I figured with was a nice moderate amount to try. It was on a 4 hr empty stomach and I went with a grinder, stirring it all into a small glass of OJ. It worked well... no bad tastes. The setting for my trip was my house, alone, HT room and low light. On the HT and sound system was some deep house EDM.
I started feeling the psilocybin shrooms after a half hr. I started to get some mild OEVs as well. It first started with white lights having some rainbow diffraction to them. Then some haziness crept in as well, like a light fog in the air. The OEVs further moved to some breathing of surfaces and objects. Unfortunately, I (again) had significant stomach cramps for a while (took 1 50mg tablet of dimenhydrinate and drank ginger ale). It affected the experience significantly, so next time I'll being doing shroom tea.
On pure shrooms it was a solid moderate experience (never had visuals before). I was back and forth hot and cold for a while. And had to close my eyes at times because of visual overload. Time slowed down a lot for a while (it was fun watching the analog clock second hand at times).
Interestingly, the trip was a fairly detached experience. I noticed a number of psychedlic effects but didn't really focus inward much at all. Overall, I felt comfortable which was great (minus the stomach cramps)
After 2.5 hrs I was getting some lucidity back so I decided to mix in cannabis and see what happened. I went with Blue Dream (sativa leaning). Wow, I can confirm cannabis/weed definitely enhances mushrooms significantly :crazy2. Within a few minutes I saw rainbow diffraction again, then breathing, then the OEVs got even stronger. OEVs with motion got very trippy. Quality OEVs, nearing face melt . I spent a fair amount of time tripping out on these OEVs while listening to and enjoying the music and vibe.
I eventually checked out my TV cable movie channels (while still playing music) for different visuals... and I found Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, lol. Wow, very trippy and the OEVs... . Will try doing that again sometime.
I vaped cannabis a few times and each time it brought back stronger psylocybin effects and OEVs, though the party was near over ~7-7.5 hrs in. At this time I'm now on some Platinum Bubba Kush and processing the trip. I feel like I need some rest and recovery (because of how the stomach cramps affected things).
Overall, count me impressed with the magic mushroom experience . The music and ambiance was awesome. Even though it was an interestingly detached experience (with no super deep philosophy or introspection going on), it was good and positive. This dose and trip kept me tethered fairly well to reality and I spent the trip experiencing the environment around me. Loved the significant OEVs.
I look forward to increasing the shroom dose more next time. I'm thinking of adding a gram and trying 2.5 grams of the same stuff and batch. I can always mix in some weed for more punch depending on how it goes again. Mixing cannabis at 2.5 hrs in was top notch at the lower dose. I had forgotten how much magic mushrooms is a personal experience... I was in no condition for a few hours to interact with anyone.
Thx for all the good info here on the forum. I did A LOT of reading before doing this first trip.
Check out out M83 Starwaves Extended on Youtube for great tripping music. The static visual was totally breathing too.
