first mushroom trip, or "depression doesn't stand a chance!" * 2
    #24771504 - 11/09/17 01:38 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Well, in about 2.5 hours, I'll be starting my first mushroom trip at 35g fresh (arrived at this dosage by calculating the most successful therapeutic dosage used in the Johns Hopkins studies, then applied the 10:1 fresh:dry rule). I've considered doing a lemon tek for a portion of them and eating the rest. Based on the descriptions of the rapidity of onset, I know I don't want to do the entire dose that way. Plus, I actually enjoy the flavor of mushrooms.

I have very little experience with drugs of any kind (if you don't count alcohol and caffeine). I've only done half a blotter of LSD ever and approximately a third of a joint -- both on the same night, 28 years ago.

I've been fighting a battle with depression and anxiety on and off -- mostly on -- for most of my life. I've had enough. If I had the option to walk into a psychiatrist's office and tell them I wanted ECT or a ketamine infusion, I would do that. But I know that they'll want me to try everything under the sun before that. No dice. I've done SSRIs, and want nothing to do with them ever again. They leave me feeling gray -- not good, not bad, and the withdrawal is HELL even though I weaned at less than 20% the normal speed recommended.

My wife and kids are going to be with me, as will be a good friend who's also coming to sit. Everyone has been briefed on not taking me to the emergency room, etc.

So that's where I'm at: ready for a change, excited by the prospect.

I'll check back in on the other side.

35g fresh is quite a dose for some unexperienced user. Could be a lifechanging ride, man.

Good vibes and report back! :thumbup:

Well, I'm back.

My trip log I started yesterday evening:
-----------------------------------------
Total mushrooms: 35g fresh P. cubensis

Ate very little all day, and what I ate was light.

4:00ish - blended 15g fresh mushrooms with juice of 1 lime and 1 lemon for lemon tek
5:30ish - took 12.5mg promethazine
5:50 - strained out the mushroom pulp
6:00 - 6:10ish - ate pulp, added some water and honey to the liquid and drank, commenced snacking on remaining 20g of fresh shrooms
6:17 face is feeling a little buzzy and head feels a little thick, but those sensations wane within 4 or 5 minutes
6:27 face and head feeling thick behind my eyes, a couple of times now very brief euphoria-like waves have come through
6:32 feel like I've had a beer or maybe two, just had a wave of warmth go from my belly down through my lower half ... sudden trouble typing the word "go"
-----------------------------------------

The sentence above is the last one I typed yesterday evening.

A minute or so after this, my wife helped me walk to the bathroom since my motor skills were way off. Once I got back to the couch, it was ON.

When I started coming down a little over 4 hours later, it felt like it might have been 30 minutes. I had ZERO anxiety, and the only nausea was two very brief waves after I had come down.

There were chunks of time (how long? who knows?) where I had no concept of I or me. I was a crystalline consciousness in solution with liquid music. Which, by the way, music sounded AMAZING. I had never really heard music before.

Apparently, I laughed ... a LOT. I remember some, but everyone else said I was laughing so hard they thought I was going to vomit.

Time, both length and order, was meaningless.

My experience, though euphoric and amazing, wasn't what I'd call recreational. Therapeutic? absolutely. Recreational? no. To me, recreational means that I'm actively involved with the activity at the level of conscious decision making and participation. Not so last night -- I was there, or not, but the shrooms were in charge.

I slept better than I've slept in ages last night. Actually feel rested this morning. I feel reset, and there's a physical sensation in my head of things being rewired.

I don't know if I'm a "lightweight," if the mushrooms were more potent than normal, or some of both. Regardless of the answer, it was so worth it.

Happy Friday, friends - I hope yours is awesome!

Amazing report, sir! :sun:  :thumbup:

You're not a "lightweight".
Fresh mushrooms are more potent than the equivalent dried material. I'd say 35g fresh can easily feel like 4-5g dry, especially when lemon-teked.
Glad you had a blast.

And recreational-use.. lower doses are more recreational. But mushrooms in general put you into the passengers' seat.
LSD is way more recreational in these terms, beeing able to think clearly and make active decisions. At least more so than with mushrooms, each trip is a challenge, though.

That sounds like it was an amazing experience. Great report, indeed! :thumbup:

Pandemoon summed up my thoughts pretty well. Mushrooms have a spiritual vibe IME. Previous encounter with them forced me to sit for a bit, but it helped me get out of a tough mental spot. LSD helps a bit as well, but it's more of a fun ride than a lesson (though higher doses become a lot less so)
