A low dosage of mushrooms, using it like cannabis

[Meduzz]

I quit smoking cannabis since last sunday, and yesterday I decided to eat the last mushroom I had left in the fridge to ease the craving. I must say I also quit smoking cigarettes since sunday.

The trip was overwhelming and extremely visual (for mushrooms): shadow shifting, light breaking into spectra forming fractals on the carpet...

I had no craving to smoke weed, but I needed a cigarette badly. I decided not to smoke and thought of a cigarette as an exit window in case the trip got to hard, so I could explore at ease.

I was having deep conversations with my sitter (I didn't intend to have a sitter, but he knocked on the door when I was eating the mushroom. We looked at pictures of the little house he builded himself and it was all so beautiful.

When he left (2 hours tripping now) I decided to go lie down on my bed in the dark. I couldn't concentrate, the room was too bright because of the street lights. The lights were flashing very fast, and I remebered street lights do oscillate, but so fast it seems like a constant flow of light.

I thought of some janitor in a grey overall. He was walking trough some kind of room with a lot of drawers. The room was my mind. I spent the rest of the trip opening every drawer, taking out the idea or concept that was in it, unfolded it, broke it, and re-assembled it... I even touched memories of drinking mother's milk, and decided to close that drawer again. (I've heared of people suddenly remembering their birth and developping claustrophobia).

I couldn't sleep and went down to watch a Simpsons episode I already had seen (the one with Homer and his grunge band.) The trip came slowly to an end and I went to sleep.


And all this from ONE mushroom (see pic)

user_1919, i once had a similar experience. tell me, have you ever, in a trip felt time slowing down and halting until a complete stop, in complete ego death, alienated from everything and everyone, existing only as everything, but unsure that it was just nothingness ?
i really enjoyed reading your report!

I only have had an ego death and LSD and Mescaline so far. Yet have to experience it on copelandia's. Besides from what you described, I barely could move and didn't felt the need either (I already lied down). 'Paralyzed' and even connected with the oxygen around me, every individual who crossed my mind in a split second was dissoluted in my consciousness, so was I in theirs. I kinda felt like a machine as well that was ereased from all his data and reloaded after. Hardly anything was going through me, almost nothing, and it didn't really mattered. My body remained as a cocoon at the peak.

The weirdest thing of all was my skin, this was longer the border of 'I'.

I wonder or an ego death on shrooms feels more 'naturally' since I noticed a fairly difference between the 'chemical' stop of acid and the the more 'natural' stop of mescaline, too.

Just wanted to remark, that with high dosages (5 g and above) I have ex-
pierienced "heaven and hell".

"Heaven" a state of nothingness and emptiness WITH loss of ego

"Hell" a state of nothingness and emptiness WithOUT egoloss


High doses 2 times a year for the real thing

Low doses sometimes for refreshment of the memory of the real thing

I must say I didn't read all the 5 pages, but the title seems good to me to post.

3 days ago I ate 1 dried shroom (Psylobe Cubensis - 1,2-1,3g I would say) from my growbox, I was alone and had a nice trip.

"using it like cannabis", I'd say no. I can smoke a joint and 10mins later fall asleep, which was not possible on shrooms.

Anyway I had a nice experience, clear thoughts, a few hallucinations and a feeling of well-beiing.

The sad thing is that I could not get to sleep before 4am (and had to wake up by 7 ), but on the other hand it allowed me to trip longer :]


This is definately something I will do again, but it won't be a low dosage. I can not say I had a feeling of "not enough", I was just enjoying the experience and feeling good, but next time I will take some more to experiment something else
