Losing profoundness mid trip?
    #29663287 -

Evening, I am a regular mushroom eater for mental health and it has been great. My schedule has varied from once a week to every few months, basically just whether I feel up to it or not. One things for sure is the dosing varies greatly regardless of weight just depending on how strong the particular mushrooms are. Anyway last week I had one of the best reset type trips to memory it was just a great night under the stars and I drank a barleywine and listened to music I believe that was 3 grams or 3.5. This week the weather was nice so I wanted to go for it again and I upped it to 4 grams and then I had .33 a couple hours later. All was well they kicked in within 45 min and I was having a great time. About an hour and a half in I was feeling very connected to the universe and just really enjoying my time. I had this ‘great’ idea to go get a stick of incense and light it and bring it outside. This is where my night took a turn. I go inside and it made me realize how hard I was tripping because I was having open eye morphing type visuals. So I got the incense which is resin and I broke the stick a bit and it was sticky and started getting on my hands and I couldn’t get it lit, I was having a very difficult time seeing everything accurately and staying coordinated to light it, it immediately sent me into a state of discomfort. Finally I got it lit and walked outside and realized it was a bit windy and I had no good place to put it and I was like wtf am I even doing. So I ran it under water to put it out and just went back out to chill. Well through all this which felt like a half hour but was probably five minutes by the time I went back outside my whole vibe was totally shifted, I just had an extreme sense of self consciousness and just viewing myself as being very impaired, when I shroom I do not view it as impairment I view it as a state of higher consciousness so to speak and in this moment it sucked me right out of that and it was just like I just felt like this guy who was all messed up that couldn’t really think straight. I tried to move past this feeling and get back to my cosmic groove and honestly I just wasn’t able to the rest of the night. At this point I was about an hour and a half into the trip I’d say and I got a barleywine to try to lighten my mood and drank it slow for a few hours and the rest of the night I just didn’t feel like it was a really mysitcal type feeling I just couldn’t shake the feeling of kind of being impaired, barleywine aside.

Now I take this as a lesson learned and I think next time I’m going to dial back to 3 grams to stay a little more coherent, but it was just jarring to me to lose that magical feeling mid trip. I love mushrooms and will continue learning and using them as a tool but I will definitely dial it back that bit next time around or maybe just stay inside. But I wanted to check in with you all to see what experiences you have with moments like this where things seem great but then something just throws you out of whack the rest of the trip, I’m guessing that’s really not that uncommon.

Before government, before currency, before countries and religion, there was the earth as it naturally existed, unaltered by humanity and without strict policy to follow, to fit in with societies expectations. This is a true life the way the cosmos intended it, humanities intervention holds no power in the natural intelligence. Mushrooms offer a connection to those natural origins.

Can't say I've had quite that experience of irretrievably losing the magic on account of some trivial physical undertaking gone awry. Usually after, say, hunting for my glasses for five minutes, or struggling to get an ear cup back on a pair of headphones (a difficult operation even when sober), things get back on track fairly quickly.

You definitely got stuck in a thought loop. My (completely wild) guess is it wasn't that your dose was too large, but you dosed too soon after a previous dose. I find I need to wait longer to trip again after an especially successful (read: mind-blowing) trip, otherwise the experience tends to go sideways and be disappointing.

they say that being high affects your short term memory, which functionally means that you forget what you are doing and keep tripping out on side trips by whatever gets your attention.

setting yourself the goal of burning incense (which you had not set up in advance as a planned ritual) out of the blue is typical tangential kind of tripping out, but since you got up and stumbled through the motions, it became a complete cartoon follie in action, all from the stoned side trip.

At least you did not hop in the car or get on a bike to find incense.

Next time do not expect your tripping self to be capable of ordinary tasks, just set up something easy for yourself, have every thing in easy reach, and no big ambitious activities. I mean certainly feel free to get up and change your room or your space, but don't count on following a recipe. Even chopping garlic might be too complex.

I think just knowing in advance that your short term memory, or attention span, and ability to stay on task is going to be messed up, will put you into a better philosophical space, and prepare you to observe how your mind and body does work while stoned which is amazing. 

So much is related to calm slow breathing, and gentle movements. no expectations.

For myself the rule of thumb is to minimize activities during a trip and stay (as much as possible) in the present. Physical simplicity for mental tranquility.

A few years back I had the house to myself, took 4g mushrooms and about two hours in I was entering ego death. And then someone knocked on the door. My two labradors went ballistic. I was telling myself do not answer. But 5he knocking continued. And it was all in extremely slow motion due to the time dilation. I ended up answering the door and it was a huge Asian Amazon delivery driver with a parcel for my ex wife. For an hour afterwards I was sat with head in hands in silence thinking my brain had actually broken. And then a hour later of feeling like sh*t warmed up I put the music back on and realised I was still tripping heavily. Was a very weird experience my friend.
