First time trying shrooms — subs 1.5g, and I got both a good trip and a bad trip * 2
    #29635836 -

It’s my first time trying shroom. It’s 1.5g dried subs shrooms, steeped in lemon juice for 20 min, topped off with a bit of hot water, then drank it down. First time ever doing this.

About 10 minutes in I was lying in bed with headphones on, some classical music playing, and honestly nothing was happening. I was just scrolling my phone, bored out of my mind. Then my stomach started doing this uneasy little flip.

And then, out of nowhere, the world just snapped into focus.

The white wall in my room suddenly looked *so* white — like a holy kind of white — and everything got sharper, like someone bumped up the resolution on reality. The air had this gel-like thickness to it. The edges of the wall were faintly rippling. The clouds outside my window dropped low and started drifting toward me, close enough that I felt like I could reach out and touch them. Time just... stopped being a thing. Every second stretched into something that felt eternal, and I remember thinking, so this is what "being present" actually means. My sense of space went too — I couldn't tell how big my bed was, or where exactly I was on it. I felt melted into everything around me. I ran my hand over my own body and it didn't feel like touching myself, more like touching clay, or a handful of flowers — something that wasn't quite "mine."

The music stopped feeling like it was coming from my headphones. It felt like it was wrapping around me, blending into everything I was seeing. I took a bite of bread and it hit different — like I'd never actually tasted bread before, the saltiness, the little crunch, all of it insanely vivid. With my eyes closed I could see these swirling washes of color and light. It was just... beautiful. I noticed I was smiling and couldn't stop.

At some point I genuinely believed there was a god. Like, how else could I be seeing something this stunning? I felt like I was talking to her, and I asked her, so grateful, how do I bring this back with me? How do I not lose this?

My boyfriend came home on his lunch break to check on me because he'd been worried. All I wanted in that moment was to hold him and somehow give him a piece of what I was feeling — all that mystery and beauty.

After he left, I kept talking to myself, to "her," and I said I wanted to face my inner fears head-on.

And that's exactly when it flipped.

Suddenly I was in a full-on bad trip. This crushing sense of weightlessness — I was lying on a completely stable bed but it felt like I was falling. One second the bed felt infinite, the next I felt like I was about to drop off the edge of it. I was terrified and freezing cold, burrowed all the way under my blanket, too scared to come out, holding onto a hot water bottle like it was the only warm, safe thing left in the world. It felt like every fear and insecurity I normally carry in small doses got cranked up a hundred times and shoved right in front of me, impossible to look away from. Time completely lost its shape — it felt endless, no idea when it would end. I did my best not to check my phone or text anyone, not wanting to do something I'd regret once sober.

But then I came out the other side.

I crawled out from under the blanket and felt this overwhelming calm and strength. I've never felt that close to other people before — like I could feel other people's pain, could suddenly see the backstory behind why people I don't even like turned out the way they did. I cried for everyone's suffering, especially the people I love, and for my own. Never in my life have I felt like everyone on earth is genuinely one thing, never felt so much tenderness toward everyone and everything I love. Maybe that's what Buddhists mean by compassion.

When it finally wore off I felt like a century had passed. Checked my phone — three and a half hours.

Afterward, for hours, I felt safe, energized, happy. Kept wanting to be close to my boyfriend and my dog, pressed up against them, breathing them in. I was present with them in a way I usually can't manage — no zoning out, no scattered mind, just there.

Still processing all of it, but wanted to get it down while it's fresh.

for how you came out the other side from the rocky part of the trip, i would call this a success story.

"a holy kind of white" i love this about shrooms! you've NEVER SEEN white that looks whiter than white! how often in this lifetime do you get to see a new colour? we are so lucky.

welcome to the shroomery

I really like this trip report, one of my favourite I've read. Very concise and to the point, but still detailed enough to get a good understanding.

Sounds like more of a good trip than a bad one to me though. I suppose any trip is a good trip if you come out better than you went in. It's nice to hear about your increased sense of connection with other people, it's wholesome.

And only your first time too, you've got a lotta fun and adventures ahead of you!

Thank you for the writeup.

That’s a fair point — in the moment I was completely swept up in it, no perspective at all to “step back” and see it that way. But looking back, you’re right, I came away understanding myself a lot better, and I came out of it in a better place than I went in. Really glad you liked the report, thank you!

The white wall thing is still the part I think about most. Genuinely didn’t know reality had another gear like that. Made me realize how much beauty I just walk past every day without noticing — even something as plain as a wall.

Glad to be here!

the novel colours still surprise me. and yes, during the afterglow you will likely start to notice things that once eluded you, or see things in a different way. shrooms are the best drug ever. it feels dirty to even call it just a drug.
