I always smoked a lot of weed and it was fun, but nothing compared to mushrooms. I first tried them in March 2002 during march break and the experience was so great. I finally got another hold of them in June 2002 and it was just my luck because there was a "picnic day" going on at some school and I decided to invite myself and my shrooms.

I went to the school and met up with a couple of friends, we rolled a couple of joints and smoked them in the forest. I brought my mushrooms in a bag of Ruffles BBQ chips and began to eat them on the way to the depaneur. The mushrooms tasted like ass to me but I didn't care the effects afterwards are worth it, and the chips made the taste sort of go away.

When I got back to the school the effects of the weed were wearing off and it was about 15-20 minutes after I ate all the shrooms and I decided to sit down in the grass with my other stoned friends. We just sat there and I got the familiar feeling that mush gives me where my arms feel light and they move easily, sort of like if I have done about a million pushups and my arms are all tired, but it felt good and relieving. All my friends were stoned off their minds, and the mushrooms began to make me think. I was thinking about everything around me. I was coming home in my head. I was laughing with my friends at nothing, it wasn't even funny but I laughed and when I laughed I felt good and warm and sort of like how I feel before I do an oral presentation and I am all nervous.

Then I left my friends about 30 minutes later and saw my ex girlfriend Julie watching a band and decided to stay with her. I didn't say Hi to her or anything, I didn't think I needed to. But really, I was lost, there was so much things going on around me like people playing basketball, and a band was playing music. I felt like connected to the band, I understood what they were saying and if felt so good to understand. Then everyone started talking to me and asking me questions, I couldn't answer them, I heard them. I just wasn't able to answer them, I was talking to them but my mouth wouldn't open, It was so weird. Nothing was important, even if they were telling me that they were gonna kill me or something, it was not important, nothing was. Everything felt like a dream.

When I looked up at the sky the sky started shifting colors to sort white then blue and back and forth, it was beautiful. The patterns on the brick walls were moving as if I was on a bus looking through the door watching the road move quickly. It was quite entertaining. Then I wanted to stop hallucinating so I closed my eyes and saw the craziest patterns, it was beautiful.

Then I started thinking again, I discovered that the world is always like this, and everyone just doesn't see it. I knew I was the only one who understood. I also realised that Julie didn't like me anymore. She was talking to her friends and laughing saying jokes and stuff, but I wanted to be just me and her. But there was everyone around me, it felt like all of Montreal was at the school and I wanted to leave. I couldn't move though I felt stuck to the ground.

I wanted the mushroom effects to end even though I was enjoying them, I wanted to tell Julie how much I love her, I kept thinking about her and I couldn't understand what was going on anymore. Everyone was talking to me and I still couldn't talk back. I think they noticed something was wrong so I tried to act normal. Julie asked me if I was hot (it was like 30c and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt) and all I could say was "It's sun." All I thought about was Julie and the time was passing really slow. Only an hour and a half had passed since I took the mushrooms.

I then felt that I was alone in the world and that everyone was gathering around me and enclosing me an that there was no more walls, just people. It was a familiar feeling that I got the second time I had mushrooms so there was no fear. Just joy and wonder.

About an hour after that the same stuff continued with the same thoughts bombarding my brain, and then I realized that I could understand Julie, everyone else made no sense but Julie made sense. I was able to have an almost normal conversation with her and I didn't want her to know I was on shrooms for some reason I was just feeling very loose and my arms were wobbly and walking took the most effort in the world.

The mushrooms really brought out my personal feelings about how much I love her and realised that there is no way of escaping the wonderful world of mushroom effects. It makes me feel happy, worried, scared, free, confused, useless, paranoid and alone. It is such a great combination of everything and compared to weed, shrooms are God. I found out a lot of stuff on that day, and if someone told me this stuff I wouldn't believe them and tell them that they are insane. But I was there, it was me that this happened to and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life. I think about it everyday and I can't wait to come back home.
