2.2g and 1.6g

Material: dried cubensis.
I'm a 75 y.o. guy who last used shrooms about 50 years ago.
Previous experience with psychedelics in my 20s included a lot of LSD and MDA, synthetic mescaline, and shrooms.
~~~~
The supplier stated a 100% dose was 3g.
I took a 2.2g dose (last but one weekend) ground up and left soaking in OJ fo3 30 minutes.
Onset: I was shocked at how fast the onset was. Just 15 minutes and already rocketing away.
3 hours in: I was getting a LOT of anxiety and I'd been feeling nausea (stomach issues, wanted to vomit) for 2 hours. I went into the garden and the lawn was like the surface of the sea, rolling in waves toward me. I began seeing complex pastel-coloured gemotric patterns on plain walls. Then I went onto the deck and, glancing around, it seemed that pieces of 'reality' were breaking off, leaving a kind of formless underpinning instead, then when I looked again the scene was (more or less) normal.
Later, I thought about this, and I believe that what was happening is related to the brain constructing a version of reality that persists when I'm not directly looking at it. So when I moved my gaze, for a moment there was no visual of the 'new' scene, I had to 'wait' while my brain constructed it.
About 4 hours in, the trip began to get too much in terms of anxiety, so I took 1/4 clonazapam, and after about 20 minutes the scene calmed down.
~~~~~
~~~~~
The weekend after, I took 1.6g instead. The anxiety level was still very high but I managed OK. No strong visuals like the previous weekend. Since it was rainy, I watched the restored versions of first, 2001: A Space Opera, and then Yellow Submarine, and had a great time. Smoked some weed at the 3 hour point which as expected deepened the trip. Took 1/8 clonazepam after 5 hours to relax.
~~~~~~
Post trip: I felt pretty good the following day after both experiences. My Parkinson's tremor improved both times, for a day or so.
~~~~~~
Thoughts: The experience was rather different to my memories of trips in my youth. I remembered more colourful videos, typically the RGB fringing. I assume this might be due to my old dopamine-deficient brain. I didn't really find the trips very enjoyable, due to the anxiety levels and nausea. I don't recall having these problems with LSD or MDA.
The main difference for me is that shrooms can be taken in a small or large dose and it's a continuum. At 1.2g my thoughts were 'this is not a trip, I am not tripping, I am just quite spaced out'. With LSD, if you take an insufficient dose, say less than 75 micrograms, you don't trip. With LSD you're either tripping and in reality X, or you're not.
In this respect I think shrooms are like peyote, it's not an on-off switch.

Indeed, thank you for sharing. 

If you are so inclined, a couple of things you might want to try on your next journey. 

- Make a tea.  I too have found that mushrooms or even stones can be gut busting.  (They say its because of the chitin in them that is hard to break down)  A tea alleviates this and you can even freeze a tea for later consumption.
- Try running a batch of stones.  I LOVE me some stones (sclerotia) and the trip is a little less anxiety inducing.
- Pans.  Less is more.
