Sclerotia Atlantis Trip Report - 17g - No insights? Neutral trips?
    #27880162 - 07/28/22 08:25 AM (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hello everyone, I've been reading the forum for some time now, but this is my first post.

This week I tripped on ~17g of sclerotia Atlantis with a friend. It was my 9th trip (aside from some microdosing cycles), but the 1st that I consumed the whole thing at once and I surpassed the 15g mark, as I wanted a stronger trip.

Until now, every trip had been enjoyable and "funny". Some scary moments but overall a positive experience that left an afterglow effect and an aftertaste of openness and new insights.

This one, though, has been different. I wouldn't label it as a "bad trip", because it didn't derailed into that. At all times I felt that "I" managed to navigate the scary stuff and keep myself calm. However, through the whole trip I kept having a sense of uneasiness (e.g. seeing demon faces in the room shadows and certain objects), especially after the peak.

I had an strange experience at the peak too. For a brief moment, eyes closed, I "sensed", let's say, a "love" aura/spirit/entity/energy and a "scary dark shit" aura/spirit/entity/energy.

They both kinda "approach" me? Felt like they were teasing/touching my body. At this point I was like "wtf is going on".

The first "entity" produced a feel-good/expansive feeling. The second one scared the shit out of me but thoughts such as "just chill" kept hovering in my mind, so I didn't lose it. I just watched the show as a scared observer.

The come down was weird too. No afterglow, but rather a paranoid-like experience.

For the past days, I've been low-key off and rather fatigued. No afterglow either. I also don't feel like I've gained any insight, just somewhat skeptic/scared about psychedelics.

At the same time I also feel like tripping again on a lower dose in some weeks and see if the difference was the dose or some deeper shit.

Any experienced psychonaut that could help me interpret/integrate the experience? I don't know what to make out of it.

My friend is more experienced and the truffles barely kicked in in his case, so he couldn't help much.

Thanks!

I think psilocybin can feel a little mysterious and sinister, I get that vibe off it.

I feel like these are both aspects of psilocybin, like two sides of the same coin. Navigating a difficult trip can be about getting to the point where the scary aspects of the trip are revealed to be part of something positive, so you can embrace the whole trip without fear.

Higher doses can feel strange and surprisingly physical, almost invasive, as though you are facing something alien or "other."

Your thoughts can turn very strange during a trip, like you say, sometimes you are just an observer trying not to freak out. Don't be afraid if you feel a bit "insane" during a trip.

They can be quite scary, but at the same time you are ultimately facing aspects of your own mind, even if it doesn't feel like that.

I would say don't be worried about some of the darker elements of this trip, tripping can be an intense and somewhat disturbing experience and it's normal to be weirded out by it. My experience overall is that even in really scary trips, with panic and feelings of doom, there is ultimately something positive at the heart of the experience, the thing that you fear turns out to be the thing you are seeking.

On the other hand, don't feel that it's necessary to take doses that make you feel uncomfortable unless you really have a desire to explore this headspace.

The way you describe feeling afterward is similar to how I've felt after my last 5-6 trips, like I just didn't get any of the insight I was looking for.  Maybe that's the problem.  I took it as a sign to take a long break from psychedelics.  Not that I had a bad experience, I think it was just telling me my experience to be had right now is sober.
