Sunday, July 2nd, marks the first trip i had in a while. It actually wasn't even planned. That morning i had just finished work and a friend calls me. He says that he obtained about 5g of cyans during his time at Bonaroo and wanted to trip with me. He was trying to compensate for the day of tripping we planned 2 weeks prior and ended up getting bunk shrooms. Anyway, he picks me up and says he will give me half of his mushies if i bought weed and smoked him up. I bought an 8th of schwag he had and we smoked a bowl on the way to his house.
When we got there, we ground up the shrooms and split them. The bag was about 5.2g and we got 2.6 each. We mixed the ground shrooms with a shot of iced tea and let the "slurpee" sit for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, we rolled up 2 fat cones with my 8th. Before we ate the shrooms, we were making plans and ride arrangements. The plan was to buy tickets for a 415 show for superman, and take the shroom mixture upon arrival. ( I slowly sipped mine on the way b/c he was driving and hitting traffic could suck really bad, so he drank his all at once when we arrived) Now to the business end.
We took our seats in the theater and waited, and waited. Having smoked one of the cones on the way to the movies, I felt good already Soon after the movie began, the trip began to set in. I began to feel uncomfortable, so i went into the bathroom (BIG FUCKING MISTAKE). I went into the stall and shut the door. The door may have been shut but the sound of it kept echoing. I came out and looked in the mirror and threw water on my face. I felt heavy, as if the force of gravity was multiplied in that instant. As i turned on the hand dryer, the sudden loud noise scared the fuck out of me and i ran out. Outside in the lobby, i saw a girl i knew from school and work. She came up to me and tried to talk to me and i couldn't make any sense of her words. I just fed into her small talk that she stirred up. I did not feel like speaking b/c at this time i felt the shrooms coming on hard. As i looked around me, the carpeting, walls and ceilings began to change color and the patterns on the carpet were moving. At this point everything that glowed emitted a light rainbow aura from it. I was a little tense so i went back inside the theater.
I took my seat and looked at my surroundings. The curtains along the walls changed from a deep burgundy to a neon red lined with flourescent blue and yellow stripes. These same walls began to breathe at a very slow rhythm, so slow that u would have to stare at it to notice it. As i sat down, i felt like i was in one of those motion simulators. As the going became intense, i told my friend i wanted to leave b/c this was my first time tripping in public. He agreed and also wanted to leave b/c he thought the movie sucked. We walked out the back door, as to not be seen.
Outside it was amazing, it was a little cloudy but nonetheless impressive. As we made our way out to the front of the building, I was thinking that maybe this is too intense but the change of environment caused the negative thought to subside. The small trees on the islands of the parking lot were waving and the sun casted a pale violet light on everything. Long story short, we get a ride home and spend the rest of our trip at my mom's house (she used to trip on acid + shrooms all the time so she didn't care). At the house, we just sat on the couch and watched TV. I was looking at the clock and it showed 745 every time i looked at it. Each interval felt like an hour. I kept getting lost in my inablility to focus or think at all. Finally i decided, fuck it, im not thinking until i snap out of it. After this, my mom told us to look out the window b/c there was a thunderstorm and she tripped during them and loved it. After that, more TV and attempts at real thinking.
Before i could see it, i was coming down in a light daze and when i came to, it was almost nine o clock and i went home. I didn't sleep until 1am that night. The mushies left me awestruck for hours after. I thought of this as less of a high and more of a mindblowing experience. Next time, i am going to do an 8th of the cyans if i can get them. _________________
