Set and setting:
At my good mate E's apartment close to my house. On a Sunday afternoon. It was E's second time. His first time was heavy. I asked him to clean up his room and remove any sinister posters beforehand. He's got a lot of death-themed stuff as he's a metalhead and horror movie buff. I don't like that and don't want those themes to influence me while tripping. I brought some fun objects and tasty apples for the trip and of course, the psilocybin truffles. I did have actual homegrown shrooms, but I've yet to try them for the first time. Truffles are readily available at the smart shop around the corner, so I bought those as I'm familiar with the effects. We shared a box of 15 grams to aim for a mild experience.

Trip report:
At 1 PM, we ate the truffles with some chocolate covered raisins, as I find those do an excellent job at masking the taste. We put on Planet Earth II: Jungles during the come-up. During the come-up, I felt uncomfortable, a little worried, excited, and with some negative associations and emotions. Those feelings all quickly faded away when the visual effects started showing. Watching Planet Earth became a bit intense with the pattern recognition, mirroring, and color shifting, combined with fights between lizards and jaguars and whatnot. Besides, enough was happening outside of the screen.

We turned it off and put on my Spotify list of chill indie rock/bedroom indie/dream pop tracks and looked at stuff and talked a bit. E's room is filled with many, many film posters, EPs, small art images, and paintings that all had their own combination of visual effects. There was a postcard of Van Gogh's Zypressenweg unter dem Sternenhimmel. I stared at the painting saw the brush strokes flowed along their direction. I thought Van Gogh would have been under the influence of psilocybin while painting this, for sure.

There were various other pieces of art, one more by Van Gogh and also a painting by a friend of E's that looked like this painting. The branches that hold the white ball seemed to rotate and flow towards the center of the ball. Geometrical patterns appeared on the Mad Max film poster, the rust on the letters appeared to get smaller and larger. A lot of drifting, texture liquidation, and color shifting. E's curtains and a hanging towel also harbored moving geometric art.

At the start of the trip, I was freezing, so E gave me a blanket. Nice. My body felt very flexible, comfortable, and light. Walking was even more effortless than usual. I spent a while looking out the window while E played some Binding of Isaac. He then spontaneously put on some Keane, which I like a lot. It was to sing along softly while looking out the window. The tree outside the window is one with those big brown legumes on it. The stem of the tree had all these sea-urchin looking protuberances, which I found very weird and funny. ''You can't call those branches!''

I grabbed an apple for E and me, and enjoy the sweet and sour juicy goodness. When the visual effects started to decrease in intensity somewhat, we switched from standing and looking to playing some games. We played a game of Rummikub. The little shelves to put the blocks on were a bit rickety, too vertical, and couldn't stand upright very well. Then E uttered with the absolute best comedic timing: 'Sure enough, this will fall over.' Lo and behold, he put it down half a second later, and all the blocks fell on the ground. I was absolutely cackling with laughter, and a laughing fit ensued. It was one of the funniest things I ever experienced. I dropped a stone about fifteen more times during the game. One even straight-up vanished while I was watching it fall. Good stuff. It was all very hilarious. God, I love it when you're crying with laughter on psilocybin and fucking hell. It feels so good. After the game of Rummikub, which wasn't subject to any strict rules like turns or minimum scores, we grabbed the mini 8-ball pool table. A pool game of abysmal quality, without any separation between solid and striped balls. One of the cues was bent like a banana, but E managed to get some good shots out of it nonetheless. We played three games over time, and this, too, was incredibly hilarious. We kept getting laughing fits from the unexpectedly good shots and the poor quality of the game.

At some point during the games of pool, E bumped a little metal trash can on the floor by accident without me seeing it. It made the loudest noise ever so it startled me really badly. I screamed quite loudly and had to regain my senses but it was hilarious nonetheless. Sometime later, he threw the trash can on the floor deliberately and the same this happened.

When we were playing our thirds game of pool, the visual effects had faded away, and only the physical effects were left. My whole body felt so good, as when I've done an intense workout or a day of physical work. Other positive emotional effects were also prominent, like contentment, strongly enhanced sense of humor, laughing fits. We ordered some food, watched a few episodes of The Office and then I left. I slept very well and dreamed intensely.
