Semperviva is THE magic mushroom 3

I have posted this on the official semperviva thread but I will post it here as well for easy reference.
Hey everyone! It has been a while, but I finally got my life in order so I decided to trip. What would I trip on? Semperviva of course.
So I decided to take between 2 and 2.2 dry grams, but turns out I could not find my best stash So I went with a subpar semperviva stash that I totally neglected and they were a bit soft... So I measured around 2.6g grams in the hope of it corresponding to 2.2 bone dry.
I tried to make a hot chocolate but used cacao nibs which apparently do not melt. yet another failure this contributed to having a slight nausea at t=30 mins, something I don't usually experience that much.
Once the nausea was over, the fun began! (T=approx 60 mins) I climbed to the hammock in my tripping room and looked at the projected light from the star/nebula projector. I had little in the way of open eye visuals but when I closed my eyes I saw tapestry-like cartoons with geometric patterns. I was still pretty bored though, as nothing much was happening besides some beautiful faded images crossing my mind. I was listening to Shpongle and decided I was "wasting" the songs by being so sober, so I had the brilliant idea to top it up with some changa. I had a pretty decent body high going on though so I decided to put off all the intense physical activity of getting of the hammock for a bit When I finally gathered up the courage to go get the changa, that's when the trip finally started (T=120mins) I was flooded by all kinds of alien imagery and thoughts, my senses started mixing until they were intertwined beyond reparation. I was listening to music and it took a whole 4D movie experience character, I was in the forest and mystical creatures and animate trees were rushing through the scene around me while I felt all the tactile sensations of this place I am glad I could not get myself to fetch the changa 
I am guessing "tripping" means different things to different people, but when I say tripping I refer to the sensation of feeling like you are actually being "transported" or "projected" through different dimensions with all kinds of ineffable feelings in between. This tripping sensation was intensifying more and more as time passed by. I was constantly laughing like a madman at the sheer craziness of what was happening, combined with the epic physical sensations of the swinging hammock, I think this may have been one of the most euphoric moments of my life
At some point things starting to get REALLY far beyond the inexpressible realm  I wish I could remember 1% of it, but there was so much going on. I vaguely remember at some point that my wife talked something related to teeth, and I felt/saw myself climbing DNA ladders in my teeth, in a vibrantly colored scenario with COMPLETE immersion. This is a little sample that represents maybe 0.001% of all the things that went down on my mind that day 
I cannot talk much about the trips because there is nothing I will say that conveys even in the slightest what was happening nor do I remember much of it. However, I can talk about the more subjective effects of the trip. Time was completely off. I remember constantly asking my wife how long it has been (since the last time I asked ), and of course in my mind the only acceptable scale would be in days/weeks, but I knew I was well beyond Jupiter high so I was at least expecting 3, 4 hours. Nope. Just 20 minutes. What. the. fuck.  Being around my wife and my cats was something truly magical. I felt like they were gods and I was overflown with love this is a great species to bond with your loved ones! Do you know that euphoric/mysterious feeling of embarking on a magical adventure, riding the floating carpet to places never visited before, with exotic creatures and landscapes beyond our imagination? The semps supercharges that feeling and it is one of my favorite aspects. I will never forget that distinct magical vibes. By any standard, what was going on in my head would be reason to completely freak out and be thrown into a spiral of paranoia and terror (not because it was dark but because it was SO.DAMN.MUCH.). Instead, there was only awe, happiness and curiosity for more! This is not to say that I did not feel overwhelmed at times, but these feelings subsided so quickly when the next mind melting adventure crossed my mind and I immersed back into the experience 
To be honest, I feel I am now in the authority to officially declare Alice's trip an amateur one There. I said it. And a pretty bad one too. Not with the semps. With the semps it seems like you can go as far as you want and you will have a perma-grin installed on your face throughout the experience. I laughed so hard for so long 
Now there is one issue I have with the semps. With the others, you take them and you feel like you are good for a while. With the semps I cannot wait to go back there 
The other issue I have with the semps, is that it has ruined my impression of the others. I have tried cubes (PE variants as well), tamps, nats and pans. I see no reason to ever take the others, other than doing them just for diversity sake.
Sorry for the long post but I had to share this. These are easy to grow, the fruits are dense, and they offer the best psychedelic experience I have ever had by a long fat margin. I have said before and I reiterate: to me, this is THE magic mushroom

By the way, one of my intentions going into this trip was to figure out why I always feel so undeserving of my achievements and enjoyment. This also came attached to a topic that was slowly rotting my mind by repeatedly coming up unrequested and making me feel like I had to prove myself all the time. This was not addressed directly during the trip, but now it seems like it magically went away. I feel so different now, like I always have been worth and the toxic thing has lost all its weight when I think about it.
Side note: be careful with these. I went from "I am bored, should have taken LSD" to "wow this is amazing, fuck LSD" to "WTF is going on? Why are my cells integrating alien DNA into mine? Why am I fusing with time and space? maybe I will consult with my cat, maybe he knows what's up."
I can't even begin to fathom what would happen if I had taken the changa in the first stage. For me these seem to hit in several stages. When you are feeling something, it is just the very beginning, do NOT top it up or mix with anything else at that point.

Wow thanks for report man, super curious about Semperviva now. Was going to ask if anything was revealed to you but you covered that with your intentions in the following post.
Sounds amazing to experience all that but still able hold the grin.

How do you feel now a few weeks later, still ok or do less positive thoughts creep back in?

Great thank you, now I need to grow Semperviva .
Thanks for sharing! I keep on wondering what would have happened if you did hit the changa after all...

All good! I actually decided to finally ACT on that toxic topic and it seems to be resolved now Do I wish to trip soon? Most definitely. But I have an important event coming up soon so I will wait until then. Have I thought about the trip several times since then? You bet. I am currently focusing all my limited mycology activity into growing more of these beauts (and starry night since I have been trying to grow these since forever)

Yes you absolutely must do it!

Haha I think I would probably breakthrough with the smallest of hits. Maybe next time I will have the courage since I never managed to breakthrough on DMT. I always get stuck in the waiting room with crystal (which makes crystal pretty pointless to me), and changa is more like a shroom trip.

May I ask how you eventually consumed them? Did you eventually end up chewing luke-warm mushies from the failed hot chocolate?
I prefer to powder them en then lemon tek.. but I'm considering making a tea.. via this method using fresh fruits: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12493903#12493903
Then store that juice e.g. in ice cubes.. have you tried that method? I would love to know if that preserves the 'trip signature' (whatever it is that makes this mushroom 'the' magic mushroom).
Maybe you would like to try by that time? thought I would share it , very curious if that works too.

I just downed the whole thing. I always pulverize them first.
Ginger tea is my go to always. Generally, I boil them (pulverized plus the ginger) for a few minutes minutes and then drink the whole thing. Some people boil for longer and then filter the solids. For preserving I do not know, but PrimalSoup seems to have good results with it so I say go for it. Ice cubes sounds nice
