My weed-smoking experience is divided up in about 12 sessions across the past two years (ie not much at all). Just in the past few months I've had a growing interest in psychedelic mushrooms. That is, I've been wanting to escalate my experience with natural drugs. The fact that this stuff grows right out of the ground fascinates me.
Since last monday, my friend and I had been looking forward to this past weekend. My friend, "B"s parents were leaving their house, and were paying "B" to feed the dog, and didn't mind if stayed over there, too (;both of us live in dorms, so we can't really smoke here). So, as is the obvious conclusion, we planned on buying an eighth of cripp and getting stoned off our asses.
I wanted to add a little more to the experience, so I set out for my cow-patty excursion. My first time out, I found about 20 fresh grams of Ps. cubensi. Second trip got me absolutely nothing... to my dissapointment. My third time out to a different field, I found about 0.7 gr of (pre-)dried cope cyanescens. I made a thread about the cubensis about a week ago; the cyans I didn't ever get around to taking a picture of.
So, between us, we had 2.7 gr dried.
Friday the 12th:
7:00pm - divied up the dried mushrooms. "B" didn't want any of the cyans because they looked "gross". I told him it was just because they were heavily sun dried, but he didn't listen. This means "B" took 1 gram, and I took 1.7gr. Grinded em up, and mixed them in pure lemon/lime juice--consumed.
7:20pm - effects started to show. This was very surprising because I had just finished eating mexican about 30 mins earlier. The fast onset may have had something to do with the lemon/lime juice. Started to listen to The Mars Volta's "Amputechture".
8:20pm - By now, the walls were breathing in full swing, CEVs were extravagant kaleidoscopes of people moving and singing, and music sounded absolutely mind-boggling.
8:30pm - we decide we're probably peaking so head out to smoke a bowl and hopefully get a little more high. That is, I'm not saying buds and mushrooms produce a similar high at all, I just wanted to see if any of the effects became magnified after smoking. Getting up out of my chair, I noticed how screwed up my depth perception had become. The wall, maybe 10ft from me, appeared about 20 feet away. The TV set appeared disproportionately enormous, and constantly changing in size.
Heading outside, I noticed how beautiful the colors were. The almost completely waned sun created a purple glow over the neighbor's fence, and the green grass seemed so... GREEN!
Almost immediately after my first hit, I get this emotional reaction. The pain in my lungs appeared to spark this negative reaction from my shroom-controlled brains. Oddly, I interpreted the feeling as fear and had a very strong want to get inside, away from the darkness. Regardless, I stayed outside, proceeding to smoke two full bowls with my buddy.
8:50 - from this point on, my memory is really cloudy. I expected the chronic to do just that, but I do remember that it was fun. The OEV's were actually magnified, but nothing extravagant. It appeared to me that it was more like the mushrooms were magnifying the weed, because I smoked way more than I ate shrooms. As with any time I toke up everything turns into super-detailed 2d cutouts, but with the mushrooms, it was 3x more pronounced. That, and any spot in the room not well-lit hosted weird dancing shapes and colors.
While I was peaking, though, I did get this distinct feeling that if I had eaten a little more, the strong OEV's would have started to show up. I felt like visual reality was so close to being torn away that it was almost within grasp.
12am - As I go to sleep, I can hear The Decemberists and The Mars Volta singing in unison. Weird, yes.
Waking up, I didn't really feel "refreshed", but nature did have a profound glow to it. I honestly can not say whether or not the lemon juice helped at all; maybe some other people can tell me. However, I look forward to future harder trips. I plan on bringing myself into "ego loss" slowly. Like, my next trip being at 3gr, then 4, then 5, then... more?
I'm psyched to start growing my own, as well. I'm looking into getting 1 20cc needle of the Hawaiian Ps. Cubensis for $17. Sound like a deal? I figure that should be enough for 5 cakes.
