While i havnt tried shrooms from other people, the fact that i couldnt stop thinking about it may indicate that you are right. It was like harmony, i have taken care of them for months and now they took care of me

That was kind of my experience on 2G

Glad you had a great one and congrats on growing your own

Thank you

Have you tried higher? I would like to know what i can expect on higher dosis, especially seeing you had a similar trip on the same amount.

Welcome! You are in for the journey.

The rabbit hole is deep. The higher you dose, the more you get lost in it. Just don't fear getting lost. It will happen, though.

From my experience, doses in the 1.5 to 2.5 gram range do what you described.
Dose higher and you will more and more get lost in wierd thoughts, in mentally processing memory recall, in vivid and most beautiful visuals, in moments of joy and enlightenment, but also in pain, suffering and what feels like endless hell. Not all trips will be fun, that's for sure.
But even bad trips will have an output that you can process with reward. Afterwards. And grow from it mentally. Heck, that's what it's all about.

While the first experiences should be made in a safe, known evironment (at home), low doses like 2g are also excellent outdoors in nature, like a forest, away from foreign people though. You will see life and earth differently after that. Mushrooms really touch your heart, much more emotionally than LSD ever could.

I have dosed anything from a microdose to half an ounce in one sitting.

Low doses can be fun taken with some good friends. Man how much laughter and joy we have been through with doses around 2g.
But the higher you dose, the more likely you want to do it alone. There is a point around the 3 to 4 gram range, where the experience gets so intense, you have to lay down and won't be able to understand what's going on around you.
When alone, you can still manage to sit it through, and recall youself that it will be over soon, and end up having the most intense and rewarding experiencer ever. But in a group setting, this can lead to panic attacts and such amongst all members, all influencing the trips of the others in a negative way..

I plan on trying 2.5g the next time I take a trip. The only downside of the 2g trip was it didn't last long enough. I am not sure how jumping straight to 3g would go.

That's a good approach to tripping

Starting to feel thoughts loosen

It’s a weird feeling that the space in the room is expanding. There is a small storage space in the wall at the end of my bed, but it feels as though it’s an entrance to some kind of underground realm.

Drifting hallucinogenic dreamlike trance. I thought I felt sleepy, but it’s more like going into a waking trance, a third state. An alternate reality.

words in the carpet... the slow slide into unreality

Down here we just keep on digging. There’s nothing down here, we’re digging a new reality. A reality mine.

When this happens, or you get the feeling "this is too much... it's too intense" just remember this is a normal reaction - the intensity has a peak and then things calm down a bit and you start to enjoy the feeling of the trip being more powerful.

I find that stronger trips can have a bit more dysphoria at the start (where you feel weird, the trip feels wrong and psychologically uncomfortable) but I always find this leads to a very euphoric trip. Sometimes you just have to "ride it out" for a while, like you're on a rollercoaster - you know you can't get off so you might as well try to enjoy it. Trips can be terrifying at one point and then turn into an amazing experience, which is a good thing to remember when a trip feels "bad."

I've also found that the more difficult trips were also often the ones that felt more mystical - sometimes a trip can feel really hostile and intimidating but if you can let yourself sink into it, that can change into the complete opposite with feelings of bliss, spiritual experiences and so on. Trips can be surprising and often not what you expect, so don't underestimate how powerful they can be - in some of my trips I remember thinking "I didn't even know it was possible to experience this."

One thing with the lemon tek or making tea is that it can increase the initial intensity of the trip, so it makes sense to slowly increase the dose from one trip to another. It's when you make sudden jumps in dosage that you can get caught out - 2g will feel a lot different to 4g for example (in a "holy fuck this is strong" kind of way), so a bit of caution with the dose is sensible.

With a bit of experimentation you can find the level of dose that suits you, or gradually explore higher doses until you reach the limit of how far you want to go. High doses, mystical experiences and so on have their place, but push too far and it's like hitting a wall of dissociation and temporary psychosis. There are diminishing returns to that kind of psychonautical exploration, and I found it was nice to calm things down a bit and go back to a regular dose level that I can actually enjoy.

If you do get the kind of trip where you suddenly think "oh no I took too much" just go with it as best you can, lie down, let it take over - it might feel a bit fierce and intimidating as it gets stronger, but the euphoria after the peak can also be very strong. You don't want to dose so high that you have no idea what you are doing, but getting a little bit freaked out from time to time, a little bit of craziness, is all part of the experience...

Trips are a very personal experience - some things about tripping are very common, but other aspects of the trip are very individual. It's good to have some idea of what to expect, but also important to trip in your own way without being too influenced by other people's ideas. Have fun exploring the psychedelic headspace!

All this weirdness can feel confusing and intense (depending on the dose). It's fun but takes a bit of getting used to - if you can embrace the weirdness and nonsense, and not take things too seriously, you will enjoy it more.

I must say, this trip report really reminded me about when AI's goes off the rails and descend into delirium. Keeping the core concepts of fx taking notes and bathroom, but keeps hallucinating new, illogical details while still outputting fluent nonsense. A bit scary, but i can imagine one's mindset may not think of it like that when doing it.

Yeah, i did read that the lemon breaks down the Psilocybin to Psilocin, which is why it lasts shorter and hit harder compared to eating them dried. I had some troubles with my shrooms oxidizing in my tea turning it into greenish/blueish cloud, and read that the lemon helped against oxidizing, which it did.

I have aligned up 2 pieces of my chocolate mushrooms with a total of ~2,2G shrooms in(1,1G for each piece) for my next trip here next week, so cant wait to see how that will differ in the come up phase and length of trip.

Yeah, i can now definitely attest to that. Always thought that it felt more like LSD, just a bit more in your head, but this was surprisingly a lot more in my head that i realized. Almost like LSD gives you the reins but when on mushrooms, it has the reins for you.


Thanks for the report and knowledge

Nice. I used to have a corgi oodie that I loved sitting in while tripping.
