I had heard about the sheer awesomeness of mushrooms for about 4-5 months prior to my experience. My previous substance experience includes alcohol, cannabis, MDMA, hydrocodone, oxycodone, codeine, morphine, amphetamine (adderall) and valium. I was supposed to have a sitter but the morning that it was all going down, he got sent to rehab, so (like an idiot) I did it without a sitter, my first time!

T+0:00: I ate the shrooms with a mouthful of orange juice, swished them around then swallowed them. Not the worst thing I have ever tasted, but the orange juice helped it go down. I then started playing the movie Fantasia.

T+0:25: I began to notice an excitability in my arms and legs, like I just wanted to run really fast and then stop all of a sudden. I waved my hand in front of my face and noticed the tiniest of tracers, like my hand was still in front of my face a tenth of a second after it was actually gone. But it was not a vivid image or my hand, it was like an outline with light green and pink streaking behind it. I ran to the mirror (bad idea) to check my pupils, they were noticeable dilated.

T+0:40: Fantasia was still on, the famous part where mickey mouse steels the wizards hat, this part of the movie seemed so much more emotional then other times I had watched it, like the colors and music really spoke to me. I blanked out my mind by looking at the ceiling to discover that I had lost my depth perception. I couldn't tell where my ceiling began and ended. The textures seemed far more intricate, the patterns were spinning and forming even more intricate patterns. I exclaimed out loud with no one around 'Alas, I am hallucinating!' My pupils had dilated even more, my irises were barley visible. I looked in the mirror a my face which was bright red, the small dimples on my face were forming strange lines I had never seen before, my wall behind me was getting closer and then moving away a little bit at a time.

T+1:00: I was definitely trippin! My hands were stretching out, my fingers were getting longer and then shorter, my ceiling was spinning with more intense colors, deep red, green and yellow. I closed my eyes to experience the closed eye visuals (CEV). I saw large circles in my peripheral vision with slices of these colors rotating at a slow speed. In my more immediate vision were smaller circles of the same colors but instead of slices of colors, there were rings of colors interchanging like they went on forever. I kept walking around the house looking at random things move from side to side or breathe. I kept saying 'I don't get it...I don't get it! I looked at my carpet and for a moment it looked like the outline of a million eyes all giving me a satisfactory glance. I saw that eight-armed Hindu god, Vishnu, looking at me from my carpet. In that instant, I understood the struggle that we humans have come to know as life. I started calling my best friends telling them that I had found enlightenment. That the goal of life was to live successful lives in order to find true happiness. I saw fractals all over my field of vision, like they were drawing me into endlessness. The corners of my rooms no longer met at right angles. They swayed from side to side, like seaweed in the ocean. I felt the strangest body high ever, like my skin was being liberated from my body, like it was melting off, not from burning heat, but from some sort of magnetic pull.

T+1:20: This is where things started to get too intense. Time started stretching out, a minute seemed like ten minutes. My mom called and we talked just fine, but she told me she might be coming home from her meetings a little bit early for dinner with the neighbors. I FREAKED. Closed all the blinds in the house, turned of all the lights, locked all the doors. I turned off Fantasia which was playing the dinosaur scene, where the T-rex eats the other dinosaur. I thought if my mom caught me, that is what she would do. My whole room was stretching and getting closer and farther away. I tried to calm myself down by explaining the chemistry behind mushrooms 'don't' worry dude, the psilocin is in your brain imitating your serotonin, it's just creating false messages'. Then I remembered I had a 50mg Trazodone on me, it's an SSRI anti-depressant, it blocks the absorption of serotonin or anything that mimics its shape, like psilocin. Immediately took it.

T+1:40: I looked outside at the trees, swaying back and forth in unison, like I was part of nature with them. I told myself 'it's gonna be ok.' I felt the trazodone kicking in and the trip was coming to a stop. My room's stopped moving and my pupils started to go back to normal. I called a friend of mine that I haven't seen in about 4 years to tell him about my experience. We discussed the good times we had, and achieved a higher bonding that neither of us had felt while we knew each other.

All in all, the experience was good and bad.
