TL;DR at the end.
I was doing this half as a spiritual journey and half just to trip. I been doing a lot of meditation and got into the deep spiritual stuff (mostly tied to my beliefs), so after doing THC off and on for many years I figured shrooms was the next logical step.
I started my setup at about 5ish PM, I got the movies I wanted to watch out (the main 4 My little Pony: Equestria Girls films), lit a birthday cake scented candle, got water, juice and grapes and got the shrooms out. To be blunt, I took an unknown amount and thats because I didn’t have a scale and I would have ran out and gotten one if it were not for the fact I live in an area that got hit by the storm and we got slammed with snow so driving was kinda off the list. I decided to wing it and got a few smaller pieces I thought were appropriate and sat on the couch and did a few more meditations before taking them.
Just to be clear this was definitely a light trip (relative to other ones), I took Thrasher Penis and if I had to guess I took .5g but again I didn’t have a scale so it could have been more or less

I started an episode of Mlp (I wanted one episode as a 20 minute buffer before starting the movies) and settled in for the ride. First thing I can recall was onset was slowwww, I even put on a second episode as another buffer and kept thinking “Did I take enough? This is definitely not hitting”. After the second episode though is when things started to hit, I started getting random waves of floatiness and like my stomach was light, not in a bad way either, it was actually really calming. I got that a few more times and of course the yawning but still didn’t feel like it was hitting. About 40-50 minutes after I took them is when It was starting to hit its peak, I looked down at the ground to pet my cat and realized she felt REALLY soft, like a softness I have never felt before, I looked back up in my living room and it was like BOOM all the lights were amplified (For context I turned on most of the lights in my place because I took the shrooms a bit before sunset and wanted a good contrast of dark outside and light inside) and the My Little Pony on the tv was just so full of color and life it was incredible.
It was only on the up and up from there. I decided to get up and stretch a bit, I walked over to my bathroom to check my eyes and they were dilated as HELL, I had this moment where I was almost appreciating myself, looking at myself and with this weird feeling of humbleness just took myself in and smiled. “You look smaller than I remember” is literally what I said to myself in the mirror, I walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen to make popcorn and get pretzels and it was so weird because I just felt so open and free, the best and strangest feeling, it felt like my whole place had opened up and I was appreciating everything about everything. (Keep in mind I am NOT getting tracers or any breathing walls or objects, I am getting the slightest bit of visual trippiness but for the most part my vision was normal) I just continued to soak in the feeling. I got my popcorn and pretzels and returned back to the couch where I had another moment, as I was appreciating the snacks I had (which tasted absolutely delicious btw, grapes and popcorn had an orgy with my tastebuds) I had this realization of the universe, how everything is layered and connected. I literally spiritually felt myself back in the kitchen where I was, like I had been split into different me’s and I was spiritually connecting with the me that was in the kitchen while I was on the couch.
I continued having revelations when I pet my other cats and continued understanding the universes layers, it was like I was doing some sort of project in my mind where I could break down everything in the universe and connect every object in front of me to it, my glasses of juice and water were connected to the table which is connected to the floor which is connected to the building im in and so on and so fourth. I even felt deeply connected to My Little Pony and Equestria, like I could feel Equestria existing as a whole world outside of our universe and how some of their decisions affect ours, like I felt like the snow on the ground was a result of Rainbow Dash working with Cloudsdale to make it happen. Litterarly everything is connected.
I continued having thoughts and revelations like that for a bit then I focused up and started watching the movies (I was in between watching the movies and pausing when I felt I had a revelation I needed to expand on and think about) I started to feel a lot calmer all of a sudden, not like the burst of ideas and energy I had for the past 2 hours but the idea of being content and happy with everything, appreciating the universe and enjoying the moment. Time at this point was an abstract concept, the trip wasn’t feeling long or short but was so grounded in the moment I didn’t even realize time was a thing, like I had broken out of our current reality and onto one where time doesn’t exist and past moments (literally like a minute before) were clipped and sent to the universe, moments felt like lifetimes ago and 5 minutes ago at the same time.
This went on for a while before I really got content and comfortable and just started smiling and appreciating the little things, for example some of the grapes I had in the bowl were a little mushy and normally I would throw them out but now I had the feeling of I didn’t want to waste them, they are a precious gift from mother nature for humans for us to enjoy and for me to just throw them away would be rude.
As I am writing this I am in that mindset right now, its weird because I feel like I am sober but tripping at the same time, most of the heavier affects went away but I just feel fantastic and alive, my mind feels fresh, I have an appreciation for things that I haven’t even thought about before. I feel like I understand the universe and more. The best part about this is this was absolutely a light trip, again no breathing walls, no tracers, no bleeding visuals. Just a whole lot of introspective and realizations.
I am sure I will reflect a lot more on this trip tomorrow and the days to come. All I can say is this trip is the best thing to ever happen to me, I feel happy, content, clean, more spiritual than ever and closer with EVERYTHING. I cannot describe the feeling other than perfect. I am the happiest I have been in a long time.
TL;DR: My first trip was the best thing I have ever experienced.

Final thoughts: As I wrap this trip report up at pretty much 10PM. My final feelings are ones of clarity. I am feeling a bit tired and I would say 90% of the high has passed but damn did it leave an impression I will never forget. Tbh I am glad my first trip didn’t involve the visuals, I think they would have been cool but this trip providing me with universal understanding was more than enough. I can confidently say that shrooms are amazing and I understand the hype.
I love you all, may Equestria bless you.
