This weekend some friends and I went up to the mountains to camp and brought along some mushrooms for my first ever daytime trip in nature. I was warned from the mushrooms supplier to only eat 1/16 of an ounce because these mushrooms were incredibly strong and that consuming a full 1/8th would be too much for tripping out in the open like that.
We got lucky at the campground and found a spot in the back of the campground that was surrounded by trees on most sides and was backed against a mountain so we weren't really visible besides one spot below us that looked down to the campground road.
We finished setting up camp at 12 noon and the mushrooms were brought out. We had a quarter ounce and no scale so we did our best to divide them into 4 equal looking piles and me and a friend each ate a pile and the girls who were with us and had never done them before split a pile, leaving one pile (What I assume to be 1/16th) left. Within 20 minutes of consumption I could already feel tingling sensations in my legs and I began to get those pleasant giggles that I remembered from my first trip (although it had taken almost an hour the last time.) At around this time one girl said she wanted to go take a 15 minute walk alone to think about the things in life she was thankful for and left. She returned after 5 minutes saying she felt like it had been much longer and she sat down and said she didn't think she was in the right mental place to have ate the shrooms. I told her that was the wrong way to think after eating them and told her to concentrate on the fact that we were in the mountains amongst friends with nothing to do all day and we were going to have a great time.
This was only 30 minutes into the trip and I could no longer sit still so I got up and attempted to do some yoga (although I don't know much) and then decided that I should sit and meditate. Meditation only lasted a minute or two before I was back up and bouncing around from what seemed like limitless energy. I tried reading a book I had brought with me for the purpose of reading while tripping and was forced to give up quickly as I couldn't get the paper behind the letters to sit still. I was blown away that I already had open eyed visuals so early into the trip!
I walked over to a paved spot of the campsite and sat and watch the pavement morph for me and I was completely delighted. The plants were already glowing and when I looked up into the mountains and sky I could see the sky was moving in pleasant flowing waves which I soon started copying with my arms.
About an hour into the trip another friend came up to the campsite with his dogs because he wanted to hike with us (which we all thought we were going to be able to do) for the day and then he planned to leave at night because he wasn't much for camping. When he got there we decided to smoke a joint and as I smoked I felt myself getting dramatically higher which I remembered from my prior trip. After smoking we secured the campsite and I was feeling extremely high and was getting some intense strange visuals and I expressed my concern for going on a hike far from the campsite but I was told to man up and that it would be a blast to go on a nature walk while tripping this hard and I had to agree that it sounded like a blast. The problem was, as we went to walk down the decline from our campsite towards where the trails were I couldn't tell if it was a downward angle or an upward angle but I decided to follow anyways. As we made our way through the campgrounds my world quickly began to mutate into a very well drawn 3D cartoon. I remember some kids playing basketball on the street and I really felt like I was seeing them in the pages of a picture book bouncing the ball. We made it to a trail and began walking up but at this point I felt detached from all reality and couldn't tell which direction I was walking or where we had came from or where the campsite was and I told the nontripping friend we needed to turn around, at which point my friend (I'll call H, who took the same amount I had) agreed with me and said this was too intense and we needed to be back at our campsite. I couldn't have found my way back and had to follow the sober friend all the way to the campsite and when we got there I couldn't even sit in a chair, I made my way to a large tree in the center of our campsite and had to lay in it's roots feeling that the giant tree would hold and protect me.
At this point in the trip it got incredibly negative and I can't recall a lot of what happened and what I can is incredibly personal. I remember the same view of the mountains and sky were now way more rigid and were shaking instead of flowing and all the trees on the mountain had a solid red eye in the center that were all staring at me. At one point I thought of ego death which I had read about on this forum but I quickly told myself that I hadn't taken nearly enough mushrooms for that and I wasn't ready for anything that intense and I needed to get my mind off of it. I remember H asking me to talk to him about happy things but I told him I couldn't talk and I asked him to talk to me about happy things but he couldn't talk either. I continued to lay on the ground and I would try to keep my eyes open but the outside world would disappear and vivid world tearing images of red and black would replace my vision and then I would come back and all of this is very faded and hard to remember, then I remember sitting in a lawn chair and being told that it was only 2:30 in the afternoon and I couldnt even express my concern that I still had 6 more hours of tripping or the fact that it felt like countless hours and days had already passed!
I made it a point to make it to our car and grab my ipod so I could hear music and know that time was passing but as I got it and put music on I kept getting pulled back out of this world as the mushrooms kept hitting me in waves. At around 4 pm I began to hear the rest of the group in conversation and I went over to join the conversation and felt that I was able to talk from periods of 10 to 20 minutes at a time before I'd be hit by another intense wave of mushrooms that would pull me back into my head.
Around 5:30-6:00 as the sun was setting the super intense waves had stopped. I felt incredibly happy and felt that I was finally sitting on a level that I had been on around a month ago tripping in San Diego. It felt like a blue happy mist was in the air, all the plants were pleasantly glowing again and we were all smiles and loving each other. I felt better than I've ever felt ever and I remember wondering if I had really died and was now in an incredibly beautiful heaven that just happened to look like the same campsite with my best friends and a campfire that someone had started. This was an incredible feeling that I don't really know how to describe! I told H that I felt enlightened and drew a picture of a smiling planet in my notebook and wrote "nirvana world" over it (Me and H had been trying to journal the whole trip but everytime I would start a sentence I didn't have control of my hand by the end of the sentence.) Around this time of enlightenment we opened the bottle of cheap champagne we had brought up and began to pass it around and wedrank from it ceremoniously as if it was a type of communion.
The rest of the night I can only say was the most amazing time I've ever had with friends and with life
We drank and ate food and laughed until around 1 am when we retired to the tents and I watched the most vivid stars I had ever seen (Light polution in the city usally dulls the stars out) until I fell asleep.
It's been 2 days since the trip and all I can say is I still feel enlightened. Everything is really different. I feel happier than ever, I feel unable to even sit inside for long periods without longing to be outside amongst life and plants (Which still have a new and awesome glow.) I've always been in shape and found my health to be important but now it seems like a must. I'm more inclined to drink water than other beverages, my runs have been longer and I'm running harder. I can't even stand to be around any type of negativity and I can't watch TV for any length of time. I feel the strongest desire ever to live! And be amongst living!
This trip report has gone on a lot longer than I wanted it to. All there is to know is that I am so thankful for this trip and what it has done for me. I tried my best to leave what I saw of my fellow trippers out of this but the general consensus was that everyone had a very bad trip for around the first 4 hours but me and H both came out of it feeling better than ever.
If you really read this entire trip report I appreciate you.
Oh! And what I learned about tripping:
I knew one of the girls was too neurotic and unable to control her thoughts to do the shrooms but I let her anyway because H thought it would be fine and she said she wanted to but I will be more picky about who I trip with from now on.
I think the camping thing was actually a bad idea because the open campground left us in close proximity to strangers who weren't tripping and I think it caused a lot of paranoia and led to negativity.
Never underestimate the power of these plants! I thought a half 8th wasnt going to be enough for a strong trip and I got more than I ever could have asked for!
