OK, well, I tripped for the first time last thursday, and boy did I underestimate the drug. I probably took about 2 grams dry, I was at home with my husband, he didnt do it. I was nervous about the taste so I chopped up the shrooms and mixed them with peanut butter and chewed them for only a few minutes max. The effects seem to come on in about 20 minutes, but I wasnt sure if it was a placebo effect, until I suddenly freaked out and thought I read my scale wrong and accidently ingested an ounce! That should tell you right there I was fucked up! Any sober person wouldnt even question the difference between 2 grams and an ounce. Anyway, it started with the giggles, I was laughing, but for no reason, I wasnt even laughing at something that isnt funny, I was just laughing, for no reason, just laughing. It was like my body had too many laughs in it and needed to release a few, like a sneeze or an orgasm. Then we decided to watch Aladdin, I could not pay attention to the movie at all, I just wanted to touch my husband, touch was a very important part of my trip. I felt safe when I touched my husbands skin, he had a very positive energy coming off of him that was very calming to me. I was still laughing, but my laughter was too much for my body, I would be laughing, but it would just be so much that I couldnt even get a "ha" out, I would just start crying, tears were streaming down my face, and I could hardly breathe because of the intense laughter my body was producing. Then I started playing with my husbands hands, and I was very fascinated by his knuckle lines in his fingers, I remember I said to him "I never noticed that your knuckles look like this before, they are very......knuckley" Then I broke out in hysterics over that, I could not believe that that was the explanation I gave for my fascination of his knuckles. Time was a very mysterious thing, an hour felt like 3 hours, I smoked a lot of cigarettes because it seemed like forever since my last one, even though it was probably only 10 minutes. I didnt really see any visuals, they were more like my eyes played tricks on me, my couch pillow breathed, but the walls didnt. And on tv peoples faces would suddenly come forward and then slowly move back to their head, that was really freaky. But the freakiest thing was eyes! Anyone ever get this when they trip? Eyes are usually the most beautiful feature on a persons face, but when I was tripping, they were fucking ugly! Very gooey, and slimy looking. My husbands eyes totally freaked me out, then I looked at my pets and their eyes were just as gross looking. Then I looked in the mirror, and I have nice big green eyes, but they were very very ugly when I looked in the mirror, slimey, gooey, very wet looking, and very round looking. Kinda like when a person dies, how they're eyes look after a couple days in the sun, very icky! Towards the end of the trip, about the last hour was the most pleasent for me. Thats when I felt enlightened. My hubby and I started talking about politics and religion and so forth, and I felt soooo, well, enlightened on everything, everything finally made sense. I always claimed ot be an Athiest, but there was always a part of me that doubted my beliefs, but not anymore, its like shrooms made me believe in my beliefs, the doubt was gone, I knew the answers, I knew what I believed, and I respect myself so much more now, I respect my views, and Im not afriad anymore if someone debates them with me, I feel like I know my stuff, and nobody is going to back me into a corner and make me feel bad for them. It was wonderful, a truly wonderful experience, a lot more intense than I ever imagined. I was expecting to be stoned and silly and see dragons or whatever, I wasn't really expecting that it would make me a stronger person inside.
I must say though, the next day I was in a bad mood, coulda been cuz I had to work when all I really wanted to do the next day was analyze my experience, but I was very bitchy to my coworkers. Everyone just seemed really dumb, no one was even doing anything particularily annoying, but everyone really got under my skin. I walked into work and I felt like I was working with a bunch of losers who are beneath my level, which isnt true, but thats how irritated I was.
Anyway, I think Im going to Shroom tomorrow, but this time I wanna be outside, when I was tripping I had a deep need to explore. I really wanted to be outside exploring, like in a forest or something, but hubby was drinking so we had to stay home.
Hope this report helps those of you who havent done shrooms to give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. Any input and feedback on my trip report would be greatly appreciated.

Well, its been about 6 days since I tripped, however I am not gonna do it tonight because I was starving by the time I got home from work and ate quite a bit. My husband ate around 3 grams the saturday after I did it, and he got nothing! Can you believe that? He said his body felt good, but his head felt like when you take too much nyquil. But he also ate like 4 soft tacos right before eating the shrooms, so I assume thats why he didnt get much effects. But he gave his friend the same amount, and he is around the same build as my husband, and his friend got quite fucked up. His friend had never done shrooms before, but has dropped a lot of acid, he liked shrooms much better, now he's nagging us to give him more. Hubby and I are planning on going to colorado in a couple weeks for a few days and camp, so I'd like for us to do it together then. We are both very new to this, is it absolutely necessary to have a trip sitter?
