Please doo I want to see what happens, did you grow thease by chance? I'm close to finishing my first grow. ~Turban Jews~
So I consumed the truffles around 11:45pm. The setting was at my house with my parents in bed so I knew I wasn't going to be interrupted. I hadn't eaten anything substantial since 2pm, however I had a couple of apples at about 5 o'clock so my stomach was virtually empty. I am fairly experienced with psychedelics (roughly 8 psilocybin, 10 LSD and 2 LSA trips) but have always taken low to medium doses. This was also the first time that I have consumed my whole dose in one go because usually I eat half and wait to see how I feel after I come up. And it told...Boy did that stuff hit me!! I had to go to the toilet (damn IBS) and after 10 minutes the radiator infront of me started to breathe. A couple of minutes later and I could feel my heart beating a lot quicker and it started to make me feel slightly anxious. Before I dosed I ran a bath as I thought that it could be a good way to relax during the potentially turbulent come-up. At first I was right because as soon as I lay down the anxiety subsided. It literally felt like a weight had been lifted from my headed. That didn't last long though as almost simultaneously the nausea kicked in. The water suddenly felt lukewarm even though I knew it was my perfect temperature, so I decided to get out. I dried myself off and went to lie down on my bed. I checked the time and it was about half an hour into the trip. The playstation was already on so I quickly put on some Critters Buggin. I had some some vivid open and closed-eye visuals, much more so than I've had on psilocybin in the past, and for a few minutes I felt really chilled out and content. But all of sudden the nausea hit me again and this time it was really bad, so much so that I found myself in an uncontrollable loop of thoughts. "I need to get rid of this pain in my stomach", "I'm gonna have a panic attack", "I want this to end". Even though I was telling myself that, "I've done this before" and "it's all in my head", the thoughts wouldn't subside. I decided to go and have a glass of orange juice as vitamin C is supposed to take the edge off. Maybe I took the easy way out but at the time I thought I was going to go to a dark place and not come back. When I got back upstairs I wanted something visual to focus on, so I put on Fantasia. And I'm so glad I did as the next two hours turned out to be the most blissful and profound hours of my life. As soon as the presenter came on the screen I felt safe. He would be like your favourite teacher or the inspirational sports coach, just someone who had a position of power but was also your friend. For anyone who hasn't seen the film, it basically consists of several pieces of classical music accompanied by animation sequences that each tell a story. The presenter also talks about each piece in detail and encourages the viewer to imagine various imagery. It's the perfect food for psychedelics. I will now try to describe my thought processes and visions that I experienced during each piece, bearing in mind that I've had to rewatch the film to refresh my memory on the order of events. This piece was predominantly about my mum, who a few weeks ago was in hospital with a suspected heart attack. Thankfully it wasn't but it made us all appreciate how much stress she puts herself under. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHtZ0-N4xN8&feature=related"]Fantasia 1940 - Nutcracker Suite - YouTube The fish that appears at 7:40 was my mother. They are both beautiful and elegant and conduct themselves with such gracefulness. I came to realise how much I take her for granted and why I am part to blame for the stress that caused her to end up in hospital. This piece wasn't so much about my inner thoughts, it was more about my cat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSTWy25hRiI&feature=related"]The Sorcerer's Apprentice [HD] (VHS Version) - YouTube Coincedently I'd let him in the room before this sequence and it always feels like my cat knows when I'm tripping. This was no different as he started to mooch around the room in time to the music and was scratching at everything he knows he's not supposed to. It was as if he was purposefully misbehaving because the music encouraged him to. My favourite piece of film shows the evolution of our planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFKInGQPT7Y&feature=related"]Fantasia 1940 - The Rite of Spring - YouTube The face of one of my friends kept flashing up. He's a few years older than the rest of us and a BIG TIME stoner, who frequently goes off into his own world when we're socializing and it can be quite hard to hold a conversation with him at times. He represented the extinction and how if my other stoner friends don't cut down, they will all become extinct like him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcgxWmQQz1w&feature=related"]Fantasia 1940 - The Pastoral Symphony - YouTube The rotund god of wines is representative of my dad, who is fairly overweight for his size. As Zeus strikes lightning down upon him, I saw this as a warning to my dad that he needs to alter his lifestyle before a 'devastating storm' erupts. The final sequence of the film was more of a personal message to myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXOmCb6EQdM"]Fantasia 1940 - Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria - YouTube Without meaning to be I can be quite reserved and even cold at times when I first meet people and I am also quite quick to pass judgement before I have truly gotten to know someone. I came to realise on my trip that I need to be more open with people otherwise I will struggle to make new relationships in the future. This was definitely the most visual trip I've had. I remember going to the bathroom at one point and as soon as I looked in the mirror my face was ridiculously distorted with bubbles popping all around my head. One of the oddest things about this trip was that I could actually feel the peak ending, something that I haven't experienced before. It was as definite as switching off a light. I enjoyed the comedown by listening to some Primus and Zappa in the dark, with miniscule visuals. After an hour or so I went to sleep. I wish I could have written this more elequently and with better vocabulary but this is the first thing 'piece' I've written since my English exams nine years ago.
Sounds like you got a nice trip from the truffles. Interesting that you say it's more visual than other mushroom trips you've had... 20 g fresh ATL is a moderate dose too. I love Mexicana A. truffles. You can get a very smooth ride from about 15-20g fresh. Plus these things practically grow themselves..no fruiting chamber, or misting or any fuss. Just let em sit in a jar for a month or two and bam you got stones.
The second time when I tried 15 gr the mental effects actually felt weaker, and there was some slight nausea that came and went, along with some other unpleasant physical effects like weird heartbeats etc. All in all not really a pleasant experience, though not terrible, either. I'm gonna try 20 gr sometime, and perhaps some other truffle types like :sombrero:, but for the time being I'll probably stick with :smoking: and beer.
The other night I had a cocktail totalling 15g of Galindoii (Mushrocks) and either Tampenensis or Mexicana (ordered two lots of Galindoii but they sent another strain by mistake). Was quite visual but never felt really head trippy. According to most of those sites 15g of truffles are strong doses, obviously depending on numerous factors. 20g of Atlantis was the most intense experience I've ever had with psychedelics and my friends who both had the same dose said the same. I guess everyones different.
i want to get alot of these growing at the same time and start extracting them in some high proof vodka.it'd be somethin to always have truffles to replace in the vodka when the other batch finishes extracting,and to just have a continual loop.bet ya'd get a lot of psyclobin that way
