X7X trip report....2 grams, saw the beginning and end of the universe a few times 5

I once was blind, and now I seeeeeee.

What's there to say in a trip report? I did psychedelics and it hit hard. We've all been there.
So, I've been fumbling around with this hobby of growing fungi for a year and a half. Grew a lot of bacteria, argued with people on here, was a pushy know-it-all before I knew anything.
At some point I finally started to listen more than talk. Got good at agar. Recently got OK at a grow, finally solved my last problem (I needed synthetic filter discs on jar lid holes, I was using micro-pore tape, wasn't enough, jars stalled at 4/5, would grow, but be bacterial).
The above shoe box is nothing to write home about compared to a lot of you folks, but it's a landmark for me. It's a plin (plate pin) clone. Looked good, smelled good, didn't have any metabolites, didn't upset my stomach, was just good strong normal cubes.
I wish I had taken a pic of that box before I picked 5 biggest caps to print. (Then I printed them near a heater and they dried out before they could print. Lesson learned.)
And yes, I let that box go "splort" with spores all over, intentionally. Never done it, I love the look of open shrooms, and the pinksh spores don't look like the black death look of some sporulations.
First flush was 21 grams cracker fucking dry.
I know 2 grams is a pussy dose for many people on here, but I have a heart condition, and shrooms raise my blood pressure. I'm over 60, in good condition otherwise, but my days of heroic doses are behind me, and that's fine.
I'm also small, and drugs always seem to affect me more than other people taking the same dose.
This was the perfect dose. I feel that if I'd done a half-gram more, it would have felt a bit like a medical emergency, even if it wasn't. I just wanted to be a brain with eyes in a jar on a nice chair.
My last actually heroic dose was LSD I got from touring Deadhead friends 31 years ago. I've done LSD over 100 times, was always strong and always seemed to last too long. Duration of shrooms is perfect for me.
I've nibbled a lot of shrooms in the past 18 months, but never more than 1.5 grams, and that was mostly B+ that wasn't this strong. X7X cubensis isn't known to be crazy strong, but it's strong enough, and this was the perfect dose at the perfect time.
I've done heroic doses of acid. This was not a heroic dose of shrooms, it was a perfect dose. I did not forget my name or forget my species, as I have done on 3 hits of strong acid in the past.
If my boyfriend had said "What's your name?" during my peak, I could have thought for a moment and remembered it. Might not have been able to speak easily, but I could have thought it out loud in my head. Though I would have thought "Why does a name even matter?"
I also did not become a burden to anyone. On a heroic dose, one can be a burden to the trip sitter, and even to yourself.
For those who don't know, X7X was made by a guy mixing LC of "golden teacher, koh samu, B+, and sure others, but don't remember exactly", and he got pink spores. Who knows what combined. Maybe all, maybe a couple.
But he didn't select for it, just all spores even from the first grow had slightly pinkish spores, and continue to after being passed around a bit. The guy is humble, didn't even name it, he just sent out spores, and someone else named it after his user name.
I only did shrooms once before I started growing them, was in the late 80s, and was in a scary ghetto neighbourhood with guns going off outside.
Even tripping in the past in non-horrific neighborhoods, it was always in a city...and I'd look out the window and just see endless cars and people, with each person kind of taking up mental space in my desire to be me and be free. Also never wanted to go outside much tripping in cities, any stranger is a chance for a bad interaction when the ground is melting.
This time today was at the house of a close person I trust, out in the country.
I dried these shrooms in my dehydrator for 24 hours, so 2 grams really was 2 grams, and it hit hard.
I got up after 8 hours sleep at 6:30 AM. I work nights and had a few nights off. I usually have a tall glass of coffee as soon as I get up. I had a only a half glass. I ate a half biscuit for breakfast. I waited about 20 minutes ...until after I pooped. (Learned my lesson last time...never trip constipated!)
Then I ate the 2 grams exactly, munched it with water at 7:20 AM. It started hitting in 8 minutes (I checked a clock). In about 20 minutes it was a little overwhelming, in a good way.
Every time I've ever tripped, there is a point when I'm coming on when I say to myself "I shouldn't have done this today." Not that I shouldn't do it, but that today isn't the day.
Well, this day was the day. Was in the country watching sunrise through big window in a comfy chair. My sweetie was sleeping for the first 2 hours of this. He trips, but didn't because he's on call as an EMT, can't be tripping for that. But it was good to have someone I trust nearby, but not talking at me while I peaked. Just me and my pickled ape brain.
In an hour, I was having closed and open eye visuals. Mostly kept my eyes open. Just watching nature wake up. At some point the sun got so bright, I had to walk (difficult, was hugging a wall down the hall) to find my sunglasses. Made it back to living room, kept moving my chair out of the direct sun, finally moved to a back window not as bright.
Spent a good bit of the peak staring at a couple trees, watching them melt and twist, and occasionally seem to laugh at/ with me. Watched birds fight for food, watched a cat kill a bird. The circle of life!
Was about 50 feet away, near some tall grass. I wasn't sure I saw it at first, but my sober companion came over and saw it too.
My trip sitter brought me a small fruit yogurt, was strange to eat, but good.
When I was in his room getting my sunglasses, I happened to look at a computer, was funny, none of it looked like things I recognised, even photos I know I took..just weird shapes and colors that ALMOST looked like reality. But all shroom pix looked normal! That made me laugh, hard.
Have you seen those videos of a chimp scrolling pictures on a tablet? That was me.
Time was...well, you know. I looked at a clock, looked outside, saw the beginning and end of the universe, maybe twice, then saw the clock, had been 5 minutes. Over and over. I don't like to look at clocks while tripping, but when I moved my chair to get away from the sun, I was sitting by a clock.
About an hour in, I had about an hour and a half (I think) of peak, of that eternal 1943 bicycle ride moment of "YES!" you know.
There was a lot of euphoria, but that seemed secondary to the importance of all of this.
I've been thinking a lot lately about getting older, and that I will die one day, and I have been a little afraid of it.
That is ALL gone now. It's all good! I get to be here now on this crazy blue ball for a few decades, pet some humans and animals, eat some good meals, listen to music, watch some sunrises and sunsets, laugh, cry...I did cry a little during this trip, but was very cleansing and not sad.
My man woke up and checked on me, stayed nearby, but out of my hair. I just wanted to watch nature and let my brain float in these chemicals that evolution has been delivering to animals, including hominoids, for about a million years, maybe a little more. I pictured the stoned ape theory leading the march of man to me in this chair, and it was good.
I kept thinking about this Robert Crumb cartoon, he has a few versions of it, it's basically Mr. Natural going into the desert to meditate, with successive panels, civilization builds up around him, he ends up in a city without moving, a cop tells him "move along, bub..." society crumbles, he ends up back on the desert (he's never moved), he picks up his mediation mat, stretches, and says "good session" or something like that.
I thought a lot about that during the trip.
After 5 hours, I was down enough to be human again, and loved the fact that shrooms don't last as long as LSD. I've taken over 100 acid trips, but with shrooms I grew, I know what I'm getting, and it doesn't last WAYYYY too long.
This is the first trip I've ever had that didn't have a second of fear.
Later that night, went to sleep, slept hard for 3 hours. Woke up very awake, and calm, got up for a while. I remember that happening sometimes with LSD. My brain is just too alive to sleep more than the bare minimum it needs. Will probably sleep well later today.
When I trip hard again, I'll certainly want to do it in this same house, with the same person, in this same chair, and when it gets warmer, around outside this house.
I'll probably do this much 2 or 3 times a year, as a booster shot, and keep nibbling on bits of shrooms in between. But I fucking needed this.
Thanks shroomery, and particularly x7x_x7x for your brilliant accident variety that I can actually fucking grow.
And shroomery, I appreciate most of you, a lot.

Sounds like a great start to a day  I also always found LSD way too long so mushrooms are indeed perfect for me too. Did you just snack them or did you pulverize them first and put into some liquid? And going on the toilet before tripping should be on the list for every one. I for myself do it because once on LSD I started sweating like crazy during the business, slipped off the toilet sit and the rest you can imagine

I just stick the dried shrooms in my mouth, crunch them with some water. I have done tea, but it never seems to be as strong as straight shrooms, even if I boil for 10 min and steep for same.
Yeah, the toilet thing is a rule for me now. One time I tripped in the morning, figured my coffee would move me out as it always does, but it didn't. I ended up peaking very constipated. NOT fun. That's not even usually a problem, just was that day.

Making tea is a hit or miss for me too, I stopped doing it a few months ago when I discovered lemon tekking. You'll need a coffee grinder and lemons. Just grind the mushrooms down to a powder and let them sit for 20-30 minutes in the lemon juice at room temperature occasionally stirring. Never had nausea problems again and every trip is quite strong. I'd say at least 50% more intense than straight eating them. Once I ate just 1g of Cambodians this way and was surprisingly tripping balls for 2-3 hours (the trip tends to be somewhat shorter too, 4 hours max for me).

Thank you.
I don't want to make shrooms stronger. They're mind blowing now, and I already have way more than I can do in a few years. haha.
My new crops, once I solved some problems, are clean enough to just crunch down with water, wet or dry.
Some TC on here, I think MilkBoy(?) has said they can't tell a difference with lemon tek. Maybe some people feel it and some don't?

Thank you. I appreciate that.
Why your fave? Mine seems pretty ordinary to me. I'm a little old lady sitting in a chair looking out the window. haha.
I didn't crash a car or punch a cop or outrun bikers through the woods or take 400 hits of LSD on a fingerprint with Deadheads in a crappy Oakland hotel while in possession of 200,000 hits while a guy freaks out and screams bloody murder in the bathroom.
I didn't even forget my name or my species.
I've read some jaw-dropping trip reports on here.

Lol... this one is cute and sweet and well written lol... had me smiling the whole time I was reading it.
I might should type mine some of up one day if you like reading the bad ones tho
Crazy acid story starts when I stuck my tounge in the cap of a vial of acid concentrate (2 grams of crystal dissolved in 20ml of everclear)
Crazy mushroom story I was jumping through the walls in my house, ended up breaking all the windows and glass coffee table.... when my buddies walked in I had piled up all the glass and was laying in it all cut up rolling around in broken glass....
I like your sweet and cute story lol.
Little old ladies for the win
