Friday night my shipment of Amanita Muscaria came in. I've done alot of research on this mushroom, and was very interested in it's deep history and strange effects. I've read very mixed things about this drug, but I didn't expect it to be pleasant. I ordered 2 ounces of grade A caps, because some of my friends also wanted to try this.
I ended up consuming 2 very large caps. The flavor was pleasant, at least I thought so, and the texture was like pork rinds (the caps were dried). Most of my friends thought the taste was horrible, and some couldn't even get any of it down. I found this strange, because the flavor was so pleasant to me that I could have eaten many more, but knew that if I did I might have a horrible experience.
It took about an hour for me to start feeling the effects. Euphoric, and relaxed is how I would explain the initial feelings. It was very nice, no doubt, but so far it wasn't at all as extreme as some reports say it is capable of being. I decide to smoke some 20x salvia, to try to totally mindfuck myself. I had sitters there, so I knew if I started freaking out I would be okay.
The salvia was just like every other time I smoked it, except the lingering effects were really uncomfortable and wouldn't go away. Someone suggested I smoke some cannabis to try to relax my nerves, and I agreed. This was the biggest mistake I could have made.
About 10 minutes after smoking some weed, I totally lost my mind. Well, I was definitely conscious, but it wasn't in my body. People said I was talking about these nonsensical things, but it really wasn't me, because I was off somewhere else in my head. It had to have been the scariest, and most intense experience of my life. I got stuck in multiple time loops, or so I thought, and I feared I would never get out of them. I thought I died at one point, and had hallucinations that my friends were telling me I was dead and that this is how alone you feel. I could feel the entire universe as a point in time and space. I saw the room from other perspectives.
I don't expect anyone to believe me, and this could just be some messed up wiring in my brain from the trip, but I experienced events in my head before they happened later in the night. It wasn't until 3 hours later that I regained my body, and then some events occurred that I already experienced in the dark place that my consciousness was when I was tripping out of my mind. It really freaked me out, but was awesome nonetheless.
It's really hard to put all of what happened down on paper (or type it), because the entire trip was so abstract, intense, and nonsensical that words just can't ever do it justice. However, it's changed my perception of reality itself in a very positive way, and I appreciate my life for what it is now in a much stronger way then I ever have before. Even though it was the scariest thing of my life, it's given me a new appreciation for everything, and I will never forget all the things I saw and learned while on this very spiritual trip.

I don't know why, but for some reason the marijuana was the thing that triggered the mindblowing trip. Before smoking the pot, the mushroom just gave me a very relaxed and euphoric feeling. It's also worth noting that I puked about 3 times during the night, of which I only remember once. As I said before, all that I remember was the journey I had.
I also experienced intense synesthesia. I smelt green, and I "felt" (as in feeling happy, or sad) peanut butter Very weird thing to feel an emotion as a random object.
I recommend Fly Agaric only to those who will respect this powerful substance, and are looking for something to blow their mind away. Although it's possible that you could experience little or nothing, it's always important to have people there just in case you go through what I did.
