Thread: Psilocybin Mushroom Trip

I am so envious right now, I fucking hate you.

Tried most things, but not shrooms.

I've heard very good things about Truffles? Have you ever tried them? Was in the 'Dam recently, but it wasn't the right situation to take them for the first time.

They grow naturally here, loads of my mates to picking in the Autumn time. Might have to join them this year.

Shrooms>all

Haven't taken mushrooms in many years, but they grew in the wild close to where I grew up. I learned how to find them, and went shrooming a few times every year. I always enjoyed hallucinogenics quite a bit. I find it interesting how every trip is a bit different. Glad you had a good time.

How's this looking about now?

It was also different to every LSD trip I've ever had.

I have some left over and I plan to create what I would consider to be the perfect environment for such an experience.

How many shroom fans are here at IM and what are your reasons for taking them?

Who wants to try them but haven't yet had the opportunity?

Perfect your den and enjoy!

I've only shroomed once in my lifetime, and that was a long, long time ago..

If I was too be in the right company, I would definately consider trippin' again!

Nothing ever compares to the time I did mescaline in 2002, I can force my brain to trip since that day with no chemical enhancement necessary...REALLY BOOSTED MY CREATIVITY by a factor of at least 7. I'd done it a few times before but I must have had just the right dose or was in a perfect mental state it set something off just right for me. I think it was because my system was relatively clean and I was in great shape at that time. All of my poetry and writing from before that seemed like garbage so I snipped out a couple worthy ones and tossed the rest and started over and it just gets better the more I learn how to manage these self-induced trips....

*raises hand*

I just ate a couple of handfulls when I was camping this weekend. It was one hell of an amazing night.

Glad to see intelligent people chiming in on this thread. Although my experience tonight was still a spiritual experience for me, I just happened to be in the company of people who were not deep thinkers to any stretch of the imagination.

However I plan my next experience to be a lot different as I'll be at one with nature down by the river at a few hours before sunset, away from all man made structures, void of all materialistic items and I'll be in the company of some deep thinking individuals. One friend is extremely superstitous and religious however his beliefs are far from fundamental or mainstream. Much of what he says is backed up by science and facts which makes speaking to him both interesting and challenging.

Another friend takes the scientific approach to answering the deep questions however nobody can deny that science can only measure and calculate the observable Universe that we happen to be an intimate part of. We seem to have broken down reality to the quantum level and have reached a point where logic and predictability no longer apply. Quantum physics is a relatively new discovery therefore it may simply be a case of needing more time along with some ingenious to find why its completely illogical. The fact that we can change the behaviour of matter simply by observing it opens up a whole new way of understanding the nature of reality.

This stuff has been racking my brain for many years therefore I'm stepping it up a notch with shrooms as they are well known for their mind expanding properties.

Has anybody experienced any life changing moments due the use of hallucinogens?
You believe that you've been touched or spoken to by God during an experience ?
Believe they have managed to expand their consciousness to a significant degree?
Cured depression?
Feelings of being healed physically, spiritually and emotionally?
Have aquired knowledge from an altered state of consciousness that otherwise would not have been possible?


Nomatter how religious, superstitous, illogical or scientific based, I genuinely would like to hear about it.

The history regarding the benefits of psilocybin for elevating human conciousness stems back deep into our history and there are many theories as to what part it played in shaping or propelling the human race.
When it comes to explaining the true nature of reality there are far too many theories to list from both religious and scientific based perpectives.

I never felt anything other than the trippy aspects, but some of those trippy aspects were definitely heightened senses. Never had a spiritual thing, though.

First time I did LSD I suddenly understood chaos theory, molecular biology, quantum physics, string theory the next day I went to the book store and scanned through a few books on each and I understood it perfectly. After I did mescaline I understood that surreality/imagination and reality are the same just that reality is consensually perceived and you have to convince people of the imaginative reality...I think thats where the break through in my mind came and I started seeking the crossovers of my imagination into the cognitive reality.....


Oh I also didn't have migraines for a few years after I did LSD...now they are back again...I wonder if I could get a prescription

Ive always wanted to trip but never had the opportunity. Maybe one day

I took them once my freshman year of college and felt extremely stoned but didn't actually hallucinate.

Then a kid from my high school killed himself by committing suicide during a bad trip. Apparently he freaked out while alone and slit his wrists.

Never used mushrooms but would like to. Was considering forraging for them down here in Florida since they do grow wild. been researching it and it seems cow or horse pastures are where its at. Seems too many species that are poisonous look very similar so thats what turned me off to it.

LSD was one of the most pleasant experiences i have ever had. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I remember walking home at night under a perfectly clear sky and just so at peace with myself. I remember distinctly feeling that i was one with the universe. I have never felt that way before or since. I happened upon a large willow tree that was illuminated by a streetlamp and immediately began to imagine myself as some sort of elf in a forest. I heard a flute playing in the distance (or so i thought) and the image in my head of the elf in the forest was intensified.

As soon as i got home, i turned on MTV and the world premier of madonna's "Bedtime story" came on.



I dont think i was peaking though....I believe i peaked on the walk home.

i stared at the video without blinking with my mouth open. Someone came to my door and i was so awe struck at how their face turned purple. Purple!

Its like, as they were talking, i was able to read their emotion from the color of their skin. As she stopped talking, she turned pale and i had to hold back my laughter.

Very pleasant and beautiful experience.

The worst hallucinogenic experience has been with cannabis and JWH-018. JWH being absolute hell. I saw my dead fathers image on TV and i was convinced i had died and he was somehow guiding me over to the other side. My heartrate was probably close to 180 and i couldnt stop pacing and wringing my hands. I had to keep my arms above my head because i thought if i dropped them, i was going to go into cardiac arrest. Absolute hell. Auditory hallucinations were intense. I could hear people criticizing me and yelling at me. Seriously thought i had died. I was incoherent. The room turned into a box of regrets and shame. To this day i get this weird tick where for a second, i feel like my heart is about to explode and im going to die.

PCP was pleasant in the sense that i never "tripped" out. I just had the physical sensation that i was walking in mud or my legs were rubberized. On one occasion, I got lost in NYC and ended up somewhere in coney island after taking the train. I had a sneaker missing and i had no memory of what happened or what i had done.

DXM was pleasant. visual hallucinations, colors were intense. Felt like i went inward as opposed to outward with LSD.

Some people should steer well clear of them. I saw a guy take a small dose of acid, this dude was already a little off, he had a Napoleon complex and liked to pick fights and act aggressive to make up for his small stature. Always jumpy and edgy, unpredictable behavior while sober. I told the guy who was passing out the drops from his Fresh Breath dropper not to give this cat any cause I just saw bad things happening, but he gave him a tiny taste. Next thing I know this dude has grabbed the knife they were using to cut the birthday cake (it was a birthday party) and is swinging it around, people are telling him to put the knife down and chill out he gets angrier. I finally get him to trade me the knife for a beer, knowing that a swig of cold beer or water can shift a person out of a bad trip. As soon as I get done relocating the knife I come outside and idiot is up in a tree screaming challenges to everyone below that they can't take him. I had enough by then and told my friends to get him down and get some weed or valium in him pronto before he kills himself or someone else. They finally got him down and sat him on the couch with cartoons and a few bong rips. I was outside making out with some girl who had just graduated high school(I was 19 just back home for a vacay from the Navy). I ended up leaving but my friends told me he ended up crying half the time about his father not loving him or some shit.... People just have to know how to judge when someone is not mentally capable of tripping, thats why they should legalize it but only under the guidance of a psychologist or some kind of spiritual shaman....

only got ahold of good shrooms once. It was fun. Idk about spiritual. LSD on the other hand was one hell of a spiritual awakening.

lol don't get me wrong, I haven't experienced these things myself however I've read that quite a lot do on a regular basis. I'm just sorting out fact from fantasy and trying to determine whether or not religious views and superstitions come into play with these claims.

I should clarify that I used the word "spiritual" in a kind of poetic way for describing the deep sense of connection that you experience with your surroundings. I couldn't think of another word that could describe it accurately.

There has been documented cases in which scientists have been stuck on theories for some time. Due to a lack of success finding a solution they had taken LSD and as a result of their altered state of mind were able to solved the problem within the life of the trip.

As for your migraine headache, they have just recently made medicinal LSD legal as a trial for treating pressure headaches among other things.
Looks as though you can get your script after all.

It's been a long while since I've used any hallucinogens. fuckin love me some shrooms, better than acid in my mind...... I've laid off because of job/grad school and other such shit... and I'm going to say that its the worst fucking decision I've ever made.... I used to write fiction/poetry/music... its been almost a yr since I've put anything good on paper. Responsible use of weed/shrooms/acid/what have you is without a doubt one of the greatest things man can do. I really believe ole Huxley had it right when he alluded to the "antipedes of the mind". It opens up so many things in the brain that many leave untapped.

Excellent post. Your LSD experience sounds like everything played out perfectly. If only everybody could experience that at least once in their lives I think it would open people's minds into realising that their small reality isn't all there is to this world.

If what I have highlighted in your post isn't classed as true spirituality then I don't know what else you could call it. To feel at one with the Universe is exactly what we are and nothing less. Being able to experience that with such intensity is truly gift in my opinion. Our minds are so powerful that they can give us the illusion that we are seperate from this Universe and everything in it.

shrooms always jack up my stomach but they are fun, stomach always hurts from laughing to much. I don't like the "waves" that happen on shrooms, I can control my high on LSD.

Yeah, it was enlightening. I didnt come up with bizarre theories on life nor did i get too deep into myself. It was just a beautiful serenity with knowing that i had a place in this universe and whatever happened to me, be it death or whatever, that i was ok with that....Because everything is everything. And i was just grateful to be a part of it all.

It was cool to know that i was nothing more than the elements around me. Realizing that i was made up of the same elements as everything else made me feel "One" with it all. Everyone should experiment. There is no doubt.

Would LOVE to get my hands on DMT and experience what Joe Rogan was describing in that video.

You have to have a stable mentality when doing any hallucinogen. If you're upset/stressed/depressed you'll most likely have a bad trip. I've tried salvia, mushrooms, and LSD. Mushrooms definitely do come in waves and can be hard for some people to control. I can't say I've had a religious experience on them but I have came away with a new postive perspective on life. LSD is a lot more stable of a high but still really fun. Salvia had me thinking I was a unicorn running in the clouds once lol. Next on my list of things to try is DMT.

Been pickin for a week now. I'm able to get enough to last myself and about 10 of my friends all year long. I actually have a few ounces left from last spring. Took a trip a few weeks ago out my friends camp and it ended up raining. We had to move the party from the fire to inside the camp and it was a bummer at first but it all worked out. The mushrooms in this area are absolutely insane. Wish some of you assholes lived in my area so you could experience it.

In my opinion, shrooms are the best drug we have. Shrooms produce no hangover. They have no addictive qualities. Studies report they have mood enhancing properties for months after ingestion. They have the power to shatter your reality and allow you to see things from fresh perspectives. They are great to do in groups or alone. There is no data to suggest any negative impact on your body.

They give me the shits the next day. They also wear me out. Maybe it's all the laughing but I feel wiped out the morning after tripping. Other than that I've never had any negative sides.

Definately this. I would stay away from the public, or the hussle of city life . . out in the country or down on the beach. Some close friends or by yourself.

Shit, havent shroomed for over a decade
