Strong Shroom (Psilocyne Equasescens) Trip
    #9291144 - 11/22/08 11:49 AM (15 years, 2 months ago)

Yesterday evening I took 35g of fresh (i.e. not dried) Ecuadorian psilocyne mushrooms bought in a Utrecht headshop - well, this is the last few days you can legally buy them so I thought Id get a last legal trip in.

The shrooms were taken on an empty stomach and the effect came on hard and fast. Within 20 mins a strong tingling began in my gums which quickly spread to the rest of my body. By 40 mins I was starting to see green and red (and some brown) colours around the edges of objects. I began to lose my sense of proprioception (sense of your own body). My legs especially no longer felt as if they were really part of me while my hands looked strange - bright orange and distorted and oversized, like those of the sensory homunculous.

Within another 15 minutes the visual effects had become intense - I stared at a brick wall which seemed to swirl and the texture became that or marshmallow. The walls seemed to curve in and the dimensions of the room seemed to shrink and take on cartoon like qualities. Closing my eyes, I saw vivid patterns in the darkness with pulsating lights in synchronization with external sounds.

I found my brain fixating on common words which acquired synaesthetic properties - words like "rubber" became visual with the texture of a dolphins skin. I found myself searching to find words without knowing why and then as a word popped into my head I was overcome with a feeling of relief and would laugh out loud.

I began to use the computer and columns of text began to dance before my eyes. The would shrink and grow, then I saw them pop-pop-pop, line up like soldiers - they seemed so silly I began to giggle at them. Then the trip became still stronger and I decided to lie down and let my mind run.

During this time I lost any sense of reality - I in a dreamlike state; I began to feel unsure whether I was really where I appeared to be or whether I was simply imagining it while I was actually somewhere else. My sense of identity dissolved and I felt as if I was simply a mind without form drifting in the aether. I tried to ponder the contradiction of being without identity but still being able to perceive these feelings but could not concentrate. Memories popped up at random and I understood how memory is such a defining aspect of our identity but was unable to attach my memories to my identity at this time. I began to feel as if I was not only myself but also my friends and family. My identity felt interchangeable with that of others.

The trip became slighty disturbing at this time as I was becoming unsure of whether I actually existed, and was furthermore unsure of how it was possible to relate to other people. My mind began to run at breakneck speed in circles.

To stop the train of thought I decided to watch TV for a while. While watching a soap-opera, I found I could not follow the storyline but could simply feel the emotions of the actors, yet I could not feel my own emotions - I could only see them sitting in boxes waiting to be used when needed.

Slowly, the trip began to recede and I found my own sense of self again and clung to it like a long lost friend. I enjoyed the feeling of ego-death, but understood how amazing the sense of "I" really is and was relieved that it was not lost. Slowly I experienced greater periods of normal reality and my sense of my own body began to return to normal.

After around six hours there was little left of the trip except some tingling feelings in my body and as it was late I decided to go and sleep the rest off.

This was my second mushroom trip and, all in all, it was a pleasant and interesting experience with some strange insights into reality and identity to think on over the next few days.

I also had the chance to try this strain, while in Amsterdam. I've never heard any other people talk of it, great to hear you enjoyed it! I ate the same dose, & the visuals from this mushroom are out of this world.
I fell asleep shortly after consuming them, & woke up an hour later with no idea who I was, where I was, etc. All I knew was that it looked like I was in some sort of fucked up cartoony dream. After walking around my room, I noticed my backpack, then I walked into the bathroom & saw my face, reminding me of me... hahaha. It was a moment of total loss. But the trip was phenomenal!

Haven't had the confidence to try looking in the mirror on shrooms yet - I got pretty freaked out doing it on acid once so have avoided mirrors while tripping since.

Anyway, as the ban on shrooms in Holland is only a few days away I pretty much bought up the contents of the guys fridge. I also have the Psilocyne Colombiescens (Colombian), Copelandia Cyanescens (Hawaiian) and Psilocybe Aurumescens (Golden Teacher) sitting around to be tried soon. :laugh:

Are the golden teachers a.k.a. the Philosopher Stones (the truffle-looking mushies), because those are the most bizarre looking actives i've ever eaten, pretty enjoyable trip, too. I know what you mean about mirrors, you look really messed up in them. The first time I looked in a mirror, during my first psychedelic trip, I was convinced I looked like a fucked up drug addict, & it scared me. But I've always forced myself to look in the mirror, it gives you a weird perspective of yourself, & trips you out.

It is such a shame the ban is coming :frown: I really loved eating mushrooms while I was there, glad I did it while you can.

These are the Golden Teachers:



I don't really get how the different varieties give different experiences - after all, they all contain the same two psychoactive chemicals. Still, I must say the Ecuadorian ones did feel different to the Colombian I'd had before.

Dunno what to do once the ban comes in - I'm not sure whether growboxes will be covered by the ban so homegrowing may be an option.

Mirrors are WEIRD while tripping... My third time shrooming I took 3 grams... When I got home I looked in the mirror for AT LEAST 20 minutes... I was so convinced that the person I saw was NOT me. Then I finally realized I was just trippin and went and sat back down
