My first experience with mushies

Hey guys. So as some of you already know i was planning on taking a trip on some mushrooms this weekend for the first time. I just want to share my experience so I'm gonna get right into it.
I had 2 grams which I grinded up and put in a small cup and mixed it with lemon juice. After about 15 minutes of occasional stirring, I walked off into a trail and found a nice hidden place by a small creek to sit at. I downed the mushroom/lemon juice mixture and washed it down with some sunny D. After that of course I just sat and waited for it to kick in.
Half an hour goes by and I'm starting to feel really dizzy. Almost like I'm drunk. As every minute went by I was slowly feeling worse and worse. It was hot out and there were bugs everywhere and I was just having a bad time. At some point i was just like "fuck this I don't wanna do this anymore." And I started to get up. But the movement from getting up pushed me to the point of throwing up. And I knew by then it was too late. I backtracked out of the trail as quickly as I could. By the time I was near the exit I was really beginning to trip. I looked at the ground and I could see all the bugs crawling in the dirt and grass as if I had the eyes of a hawk. It was the only visual i really had. It was actually pretty cool haha.
I got to my car as quickly as I could. I knew that I was gonna have to ride out the trip so I figured it would be best to turn on the car and get the A/C going so I was at least out of the heat. I never really felt out of control so i wasn't worried that I was gonna do something stupid. All I remember is sitting in the car and just having a mental argument with myself. It was much more of an emotional trip than a visual trip. I felt like I was really dumb for doing this and that I had to re-evaluate my life decisions and I was just on an emotional rollercoaster. I felt like I was going to spiral down into a dark hole at any moment. And that's all I really remember while I was peaking. Everybody strongly reccomended a sitter to keep me from freaking out too much, but to be honest if I was with any friends at the time it likely could have gone a whole lot worse just because of my introversion and minor social anxiety. I didn't really need any friends with me because I was already mentally prepared to "sit" myself. And I did a pretty good job calming myself down. Once I did calm down and I stopped feeling like shit from throwing up and being nauseous and all that, I decided I wanted to go walk on another trail, enjoy the nature and just have a few thoughts to myself. I had better control of my emotions and I no longer felt like I was gonna slip into a negative trip. The walk was just absolutely amazing. I felt like my mind was set free and I thinking clearer and faster than ever before. I felt connections in my head that I couldn't connect before and in a sense it "cleansed" my mind. It was as if everything was right with the world. I noticed everything seemed so much more vivid and colors stood out to me a lot more. The grass was greener, the sky was bluer, everything was just absolutely beautiful and I just had a really great time. I wished I could feel like this forever, but at that point I knew I was starting to come back to reality so I finished the trail and went back to my car and drove home.
Things like this are really hard for me to explain and I wish I could just show you guys how the whole process went. despite the bad start, I had a really amazing time overall and it was totally worth it. The trip lasted about 4 hours, though time seemed completely irrelevant. If I could have done it differently I would have stayed in my car and try and think more positively before dosing. Before I took them I was in a bad mood just because I wasn't a morning person and I skipped breakfast, it was hot and I was paranoid I was gonna get caught or do something stupid and I was just really nervous about the whole thing. And for me that's where the trip really started.
It's not something I would do again for a really long time just because of how sick I felt and how hard it was to obtain and the fact that I got ripped off paying $50 for 2 grams. If I can grow my own it will probably be something I'll do once a year. It was definitely a good experience and it did what i wanted it to do. I definitely see why it helps people. Even though the drug is completely worn off I feel like it made a positive impact on my mental health in the long run. Thank you all for the words and advice you gave me to help make this trip worthwhile. I'm very satisfied with what it did for me.

That's every trip man, unfortunately impossible to explain unless they experienced it too. Glad you tried it again and had a good time, psychedelics can be an absolutely wonderful experience that can alter how you view things forever. Definitely recommenced doing an 1/8th at one point in your life or if you feel comfortable go higher than that, then you will really start seeing how wonderful these drugs can be.

Sounds like a plan. I'm gonna work on getting a grow kit running eventually. I think the worst part is taking the mushrooms and just waiting for them to kick in. It can be a nerve wrecking wait if it's your first time. I like my drugs to come on instantly like marijuana does

Swim's dog claims if you make a ethanol extract it eliminates most of the nausea and comes on a lot faster, the damn dog won't take them any other way now :joint::lol:

I'm glad you were able to hold on, and things stayed positive for you. I love the visual clarity that come when tripping. Normally I just eat my dose plain, and there's no nausea or discomfort. Once I did the lemon juice thing, instantly regretted it as it just didn't sit right, I felt like puking and got the sweats. I always weigh my dose to 3.5g and didn't notice any difference trip wise from eating them plain or soaking them in lemon juice.

Glad you got through the tough part.
I agree with PK about the lemon juice greatly upping the GI upset and shrooms are already one of the worst offenders for that.

Yeah see somehow I knew the lemon juice wouldn't be necessary. It's just something I heard on the internet and I figured I might as well do it if I want to guarantee a solid trip

Eat mushrooms then drink tea or mix mushrooms with the tea? Doesn't really matter does it?
What I do is chop up the mushrooms very fine, and add them to a cloth teabag that already has tea in it. Kind of like a very fine linen. (some tea comes in these) I then boil my water till its boiling very aggressively pour in cup and let mushrooms steep for 15-30mins. Then drink as much as desired. But be cAreful... Mushroom tea really doesn't have a whole lot of come up. It's more like 10minutes after your initial feel and your floored. For me my trip is usually 3-4hours total and about two hours of that weird "this is my actual life" out of it feeling I usually get after.

And when I say drink as much as desired that means make a cup with what you're planning on taking in it. Some people like to prolong their trip and drink more a couple hours into it. I however have never managed to sack up and drink the rest at that point.

Make tea. Super easy, fast onset, little to no nausea.
This is what you want. Do exactly as Pauly420 recommends but if you want something nice to drink I would recommend adding honey, ginger, and maybe a real tea bag or two. If you do it right, you will have really masked the taste and can actually enjoy the tea (i personally ice mine down). I also seem to think that just not having to digest the shrooms themselves gavee me noticeably less gi irritability.

Also good luck growing. My roomate has just started a fruiting chamber this month and all I can say is there ain't enough weekend in the year for us to use them all haha.

You would think so wouldn't you. Surprising how the mushrooms come out like popcorn on weekends though, and before you know... All gone.
