Don't worry, I enjoy being the Shroomery's grammar/spelling Nazi!

Cool, but now retell it Castaneda-style.
No, I can't give that away...you'll have to buy the book when it comes out.

It is worth noting that I wanted to do all of things I did before I ever had that trip, but every time I started I lacked the energy to continue...my attitude was just too fucked up.

wierd mushrooms usually makes music so much more intense unless you mean you dont like rave music on mushrooms. rave music totally isnt the same unless youre at the rave and have good speakers at it and good djs and ppl

That is not to say that I remained unaffected as I would be by any powerful experience, but I don't recall being overwhelmed by cosmic questions nor having my model of reality being shattered and put back together.
I did psychedelics for years with nothing more than interesting thoughts and conversations with my trip friends. However, when I was 33 I took a dose of self grown, desiccant dried, psilocybe cubensis. It was an 8 gram dose that made me feel as if I had been short circuited and re wired. It brought into question every aspect of my being. In the immediate aftermath I dropped a 5 to 6 case a week beer drinking habit, resolved a serious anger problem, and stopped a lifelong addiction to allergy medications. Over the next few years I also quit an unfulfilling job and returned to college to be retrained in a more interesting field as well as losing over 150lbs and kicking a lifelong pattern of obesity while bringing myself into excellent physical condition. This continued a chain of events that led to me relocating to a place I had wanted to live for many years and getting the job of my choice in that location...in my field as a web programmer for a major city. This all took a bit over 10 years I grant you, but in that first trip I saw the promise of taking control of a life gone sour and I turned it around. I think that trip pushed over a big domino. It hugely frightening and liberating all at once.
This is an accurate account un embellished by my love of shamanic overtones...lol.
I can vouch for much of this as I have been a witness of it. It's pretty amazing imo.
