A Grey's First Trip

Hi All, I’m 75 years young, celebrated it 8 days ago. 4 days before my birthday I succeeded in growing my first shrooms after 13 months of trying. As you can see, a shit grower but patient.
I’d been preparing for this for a “while” so I was pretty well set up for it, so not going into that.Last night I had made tea from 23 Grams fresh chopped shrooms from first ever harvest.. Split the dose ie liquor into equal halves. Downed it in half an hour. Oh I’d added lemon and ginger tea bags and honey to take bitter edge off.
Within 50 mins things had started to happen, but it was mainly NAUSEA, I knew It was common but it really Fucked up the first half. I had to get a bowl but managed to keep it down..... I now have a lot of research to do to improve minimize this, for next time.
The other uncomfortable experience I’d not been prepared for along with the nausea was a bit of anxiety but more worrying was a numbness of my lips, mouth jaw, later body and my speech that is what I could just about say was slurred! it was like I’d downed a bottle of whiskey.
Then the association of being slumped lying on a couch, numb in mouth the music which played was sounding like the dentists drill, not the best feeling.
Again I need to look into the numbness thing, as a medical background makes me think of Botulinum toxin!, but as they say a little knowledge etc.
During this experience I had a lot of internal visuals but nothing to write home about. The only interesting external distortion was when I stood up and the room appeared smaller, or else I’d grown a good few inches. Very interesting.
Two hours in I manage to write “I’m fairly fucked” but nausea was passing and I was beginning to enjoy myself. “ The giggles” is too mild a word for my raucous laughing at the absurd but I was able to amuse my brother and his mates in a pub in the USA. Last time I’d had similar was fifty years ago on hash.
4 hours in things were pretty much back to normal, but YouTube Michael McIntyre live at the Apollo finished the evening on a high...if you’ve not seen him do...you don’t need shrooms with him.
So that’s it for now, got to do some homework reading, check in on all my grows.
I’m dubious though about taking the other half of my “tea”, stored in a vacuumed out Mason jar in the fridge, possibly it’s too anaerobic an environment for any Clostridium Botulinum? As I said more homework needed.

the first time i took mushrooms, I was already a bit drunk, and it seemed like the mushrooms really amplified the effects of the alcohol... everyone at the party thought I was REALLY drunk, my coordination was terrible and my speech was slurred like someone who was way too drunk.
you said something about a liquor, Im not sure, but if theres alcohol in your mushroom tea, could that have affected it?
mushrooms have always been a bit of a hazy experience for me with similar effects to my motor skills as alcohol, but maybe next time you could try them dry. I'm not much of an expert on mushrooms by any means though

for me personally dried mushrooms are easier on the body with less nausea and anxiety
