Magic truffles,Weed and enlightenment.

One of the main purposes of this trip report is to try and bridge the chasm between psychedelic trips and daily life. When I see trip reports they usually don't make much sense, lol even my own trip reports don't make much sense when I view them after. I think away around that would be to have two reports, one made during the trip and one made after. This is off topic but I think this article - http://deoxy.org/w_psyrel.htm - those a great job at explaining the psychedelic experience. I read it as I was coming down.

I recently tripped on some magic truffles(first time tripping on a real psychedelic)....wow I am completely lost for words.I have a very low tolerance to weed so I have always figured that some of my really intense weed highs were what it was like to trip on a real psychedelic.Looking back at them my intense weed highs are like the come up/come down but when the real trip begins its on a whole new dimension. It feels like I have become enlightened, I just know for a fact the experience I have just had is going to be one of the defining moments in my life. I can picture myself years from now looking back at this moment rambling on about how things changed after this trip.

As I was tripping I was typing as well because on my really intense highs I have found typing helps bring me back to reality....lol in this case it didnt make a significant difference weather i typed or not.


Lessons learnt
**********
I learnt alot about myself and life in general. I will explain the notepad typings,along with the lessons learnt so things make more sense.
Okay so initially I am talking about the "gods/spirits/higher powers" accepting me cause i "prepared" for the trip. Now that I look back at all my "bad trips" I see that they all resulted from lack of preparation. My first salvia tripped was initially bad, due to lack of preparation and understanding.As I was chewing the salvia quid I dosed...by eye....I was watching stuff online thinkin "this prolly wont do shit...loads of people say quid didnt work for em so at best ill probably feel a lil light headed" I didnt stop to consider that maybe I might have low tolerance?Maybe other people didn't get the same salvia I would be ingesting?What to do if I DO actually start tripping?My other bad trips have been similar....lack of preparation and understanding.
When I start saying how I feel really high but can still do maths I was surprised that my cognitive abilities were still...there. Usually when I got to that level on weed anything relating to maths becomes very difficult to deal with and comprehend, particularly maths. I checked the time and was easily able to calculate how long I have been high for, on weed I would be unable to do that at this level.
"the gods want me to lie down" - this is when the trip becomes psychedelic. At this point I really wanted to lie down on my bed. From my perspective higher powers were telling me that it would make u more comfortable and make the trip better. I tried but stopped half way, realizing If i lie down I wont be able to type...for some reason it was VERY important that I was able to note down all the experiences I was having(mind you, only a very small portion of those experiences actually got noted).After I returned to my initial seated position, I realized how I was 100% convinced that a higher powaer had just told me to lie down so thought it was note worthy. It differed from weed in that the mindfucks I got from weed were never 100% true, like I would have all these amazing ideas like being one with god or moving at the speed of light but never did I genuinely believe those ideas. In this trip the ideas I would get were just as convincing as the idea that if you jump you will fall back down.
After I start rambling on about perfection and order, at this point I was moving my chair alot, and constantly trying to align myself so that I would be at the center of the pc screen in front of me. I have always known I have some sort of OCD but i've never really put much thought into it, I have always just sorta ignored it.lol initially as I was typing this trip report I actually kept on re-arranging my sentences and wording things differently believe me that is something I would normally do but now that I am beginning to remember more of the trip my OCD has pretty much vanished.
"kinda salvia like...memory gettin short...." - also I have noticed a remarkable increase in my vocabulary which is rather funny considering how I was typing earlier on during the trip.
Anyhow, next comes "kinda salvia like...memory gettin short...." - by this, I am referring to how memory is perceived during my salvia trips. My short term memory was almost gone, I would be doing,saying or thinking something then during the process I would forget why I was doing it.
"ORDER AND PEFRECTION!!ORDER AND PERFECTION!ORDER AND PERFECTION!" - at this point I had just finished....saying "ORDER AND PERFECTION!!!" repeatedly to myself in front of the mirror.I really hope I was screaming that lol but I have a good feeling I was.I would like to add that at this point typing turned into a compulsion.
"ITS LIKE THERE OTHER PEOPLE RYT NEXT TO ME..VERY SALVIA LIKE..." - In pretty much all my salvia trips I always have this sensation of being surrounded by familiar presences....thats how I was feeling at the time.The time dilation was huge, in the notes you can see I was typing something on 1 - 5 minutes intervals, for me the time that had elapsed felt looooooong, almost timeless. I would start typing them become VERY amazed that just a minute or so had elapsed since I started typing.
"SALVIA AND SHROOMS ARE RELATED!!" - On my first salvia trip weirdly after the trip ended I felt like I had experienced a magic mushroom trip. At the time I knew very little about magic mushrooms let alone tripping, It was actually my first REAL experience I have had with any mind-altering substances, heck I hadn't even tried alcohol at the time but for some reason I felt like this was very similar to shrooms. If I had to guess I would say about 20 - 30 mins of thought occured in my head for me to realize this conclusion and type it, but in real time less than a few seconds had elapsed, I literally just finished typing this bit "TIME DOESNT MAKE MUCH SESE JUST COPYIN SHIT ON MONITER" then after a few secs(in real time)I typed the next bit about salvia and shrooms being related.Many aspects of my shroom trip felt very salvia-like, but I wont get into that lol explaining salvia trips always prove to be a conundrum.
"IF TRIP STARTS GETTIN BAD JUS SMILE FOR 10 SECS CUZ ITS AL IN UR MIND!!!" - at this point trip was getting abit bad and I recalled reading that smiling for 10 seconds makes the trip turn good. To my surprise it actually worked. The premature bad trip was very salvia like....in that it felt like if the trip turned bad it was meant to be, written in stone, and absolutely NOTHING could be done to stop or end it.
"I THOUGHT PEOPLE WERE HOLDING ME HANDS!!" - I most stress that a very small portion of my trip made it to the notepad, at any given time I was experiencing several things at once, I sort of just randomly typed up whatever was on my mind at any given time. At this point I was 100% convinced that many entities were holding my hands.
.........Getting quite tired now so i'm gonna get some sleep lol It would take me about an hour more to finish deciphering the rest of the experience I might finish that another time so in the mean time I'll just skip to some of the main lessons then finish it there.

Weed is a very good way to prepare yourself, and introduce urself to psychedelics. It is best to ingest them as edibles, as edibles will yield more intense,mild-psychedelic experiences.

I was hoping to get to the enlightenment part but I am really tired so to cut it short, all my.....negative aspects of myself were bought up and sorted. To give you an example, I don't have trust for other people. lol even for my closest friends I don't have any real trust for them which is mainly why I always trip alone, however during the trip I started calling some friends,emailing some and chattin to some via facebook, even though they weren't actually there with me I felt very connected to them then I started feeling very connected with everything,then eventually BECAME connected with everything. It's a long,trippy story after but the end-result was me coming to the realization that I should have more "trust" in other people and be more "connected" with them.

Please note that all though alot of my notes seem like complete gibberish I just had difficulties wording what I was experiencing once I finish deciphering it, it should make more sense.If you don't get any of this then I suppose there is no point in deciphering the rest but if you do, please do tell me and I will work on getting the rest translated.

Again...of topic but it feels like I finally get why a lot of people dislike salvia. With salvia I have come to realize euphoria must be earned it isn't going to make you feel euphoric for no reason. In one of my trips I had to earn my euphoria by breaking free from a negative thought-loop in which I was a bird-like creature that would never be as good as flying like the other birds.

 

Fun read! I hope you'll continue to look back on this experience with great joy and respect!
I haven't read through the attachment yet, I'll have to get to that, but I remember having the urge to write everything down my first experience with acid myself.

I'd really love to hear the enlightenment part if you can remember it well enough

 

Nice read, I love the inner monologue and enlightenment happening there. Shrooms can be a great tool for self discovery, that's for sure. I find it interesting that you were relating your Salvia trips to your psilocin/psilocybin trips, as I find them nothing alike myself. I do get the strange feeling that I am briefly experiencing triggers or slight resemblances to other psychedelics, but can never pinpoint which one, or if I am just having a different type of trip. I found this a lot more powerful with research chemicals such as miprocin and 25I-NBOMe though, and not so much mushrooms. Yeah, I know what you're saying when you smiled and made things turn better. Mindset can be everything while tripping, but the best part about it is, you've learned the tools to get out of a psychedelic rut! Refreshing to see an other great trip report in here. Perhaps make it more readable and make it into paragraphs better next time? Thanks for sharing.

 

Interesting and enjoyable approach to the trip report. Some very interesting self realizations and that's cool how you felt more connected on your trip. Seems like you spent a good amount of time drawing parallels with Salvia, I have felt some Similarities on the Salvia comedown with shrooms but not otherwise, although I've only smoked Salvia have yet to explore the quid method.

I suggest checking out some nature if at all possible on your next mushroom trip, all those connection qualities you mention can reach some pretty amazing levels with some good scenery.
