Alright, so i am currently 18 year-old. i did mushrooms (i ate an eighth to myself) two years ago, when i was 16, for the first and only time in my life. For the most party it was a really fun trip, but by the time i was peaking i had a brief (about an hour) bad trip in which i was tripping really hard, way too much, in my opinion, for my first time. After i peaked i smoked a few bowls i was calm again and having fun. Anyways, since that day i tripped on mushrooms, i have not been in contact or even seen mushrooms around. However, my buddy bought a quarter last night, and i checked it out - saw them, held them, smelt them, yadda yadda yadda, but the plan of ours is (now was) to eat them next week. I left to go to a party after checking out my friends shrooms, and no, i did not eat any of them. At the party i had 2 or 3 beers, and smoked a small bowl - something like this would never effect me, it usually takes 10 or 12 beers and a fat blunt to get me messed up. so after i smoked the small bowl i went outside to have a cigarette with my same friend as earlier and while i was smoking the cigarette, my vision started going crazy. the walls of the house looked like they were moving, i got really sweaty, my vision started blurring, and i dropped to the ground. my buddy caught me as i was falling, stood me up, shook me, and everything went back to normal. For some reason i think it was a flashback because I was thinking about mushrooms all night, and just the fact that i was looking at a big bag of them earlier and thinking how it would be fun to do them next weekend with him. I don't know if it is even physically possible to have a flashback 2 years after tripping, but I do remember having flashbacks a week or two after tripping on mushrooms, but nothing like this. If anybody has any idea as to what this story means, please let me know, cause i don't know if i should take mushrooms next weekend if im still having flashbacks. Thanks for any help
It's not physically possible to have flashbacks with mushrooms, period. Two years is FAR too long a time. Chances are it was either the weed, an anxiety attack of some sort or just palcebo brought on by the thought of mushrooms. Relax, dude, go do your mushrooms.
It's not flashbacks but it does sound like anxiety. If you're having subconscious anxiety just by looking and thinking about them then it's probably not a good idea to munch until you know you're in the right head space. Anxiety is a tricky and can do wacked out things to your body even when you're not rightly aware there's any anxiety at all.
nobody knows what psychedelics really do to the mind... maybe u did have a flashback, maybe you have schizophrenia and you were experience a psychotic break... weed can cause the effects of psychedelic to come out even stronger, so i have the feeling it was just the weed and something going on within yourself
thank you for your help, i do appreciate it. at first i thought too that it might have just been some weird brief anxiety attack brought on by old memories. But for some reason it just seemed like a flashback because the walls of the house were moving along with the fact that the sky seemed to take a different shape. I guess the weed could have brought it on, but marijuana has never had that effect on me, and, in fact, it wasn't even that dank of weed. I do believe flashback can occur by mushrooms a week or so after taking them, because im pretty sure i endured them but they were really short (i was vacuuming my room and when i moved forward the carpet looked like it rippled away from the vacuum and when the ripples hit the walls it seemed like colors in my room really stood out for a second - and no, i wasn't thinking about mushrooms at the time, so it wasn't a self-brought psychotic thing). One more question that i have, is that, since taking mushrooms, every time i stare down at a rug, or any carpet in general, depending on the design, it seems to move around - but only when i stare at it. Mushrooms are the only serious psychoactive drug i have taken besides morning glory, which just gave me a really big body high and made everything really colorful, not a whole lot of hallucinations. Im sure you guys know everything there is to know about drugs, and I sure don't know a whole lot about mushrooms, but a bunch of my friends do them from time to time (never LSD or other psychoactive drugs) and they claim to get "flashbacks" but only on rare occasions.
Hmm, if your psychoactive use was greater I'd suspect HPPD, but you shouldn't get that from just a few doses of mushrooms. I'd still say go ahead, but make sure you're in a good place to do them - nothing that could cause anxiety or anything.
Dude, any possibility this "small bowl" you smoked had something else in it? I wouldn't think that flashbacks are possible after 2 years, but I would definitely wonder if someone mixed in a little Salvia D or worse into your little herb toke.
i smoked a joint once, and these guys were joking about it, called it a 20 dollar joint, wen i was smoking it, and it was just me and this one other guy hitting it, cant remember his name, the joint was about as thick as the inside of an ink pencil, u know, the small tube with the ink inside. well he left later that night, and i was sitting round the fire at our camp, and i started hallucinating like a mother fucker, seeing visions of people and other shit... people definatley love to lace their weed, whether for kind or malicious purposes
i know this is kinda old but this has happened to me after a few beers and a bowl... and no one caught me, i fell right on my face, BAM right on the wood deck. haha! im thinking ur blood pressure just dropped. need to get some sugar or something in ur system. i have yet to take a psychedelic. ur vision gettin messed and then blackin out. it happened to me.
