First trip on magic mushrooms

So a while back i had my first experience with magic mushrooms. Me and my friend each took 7 shrooms. So after about 20 minutes i started feeling lightheaded, as my friend did. We went to our local mall for a bit, maybe for 30 minutes still only being lightheaded. We went back outside and took 5 more shrooms each. After a while the streets looked bigger, which was nice. My friend saw a pile of snow and thought it was a polar bear. I could see why he was so convinced of it because of the color and form. We went to the library and sat and started reading. After a couple of second the text in the book started moving. My friend was seeing the same thing. Then the table started moving a little, then everything was moving clinging from left to right. That was nice. Also because of that we could not stop laughing. So i told my friend we should go out to avoid being a nuisance to the people who were reading. We sat outside the library and everything seemed far and people walking were tiny. My friend confirmed seeing the same thing again. After a while i started being uneasy about myself so i told my friend we'd better go at my place. We stopped at a store to buy some stuff. While in line my friend shouted ''my hands are bleeding!'' because they were all red for whatever reason. I told him to stop it was nothing to worry about. He calmed down. Then my uneasyness came back. I turned around and saw this old man looking at us. Paranoia kicked in my thoughts were ''he's after me'' ''he knows everything'' ''kill the bastard''. I managed to calm down telling myself ''don't do anything stupid, he doesn't know anything, leave that good man be''. Then i managed to pay my stuff and we went to my place. My mother knew we took something but was ok with it. We watched tv, the colors wew altering and we couldn't understand anything and we laughed a lot. Later my friend went home and i went to sleep.

Now i wonder. If i take some again, maybe more, is there a good chance i'll think like when i was next to the old guy or if i can't keep calm is there a risk i could assault someone? I don't want to take that chance though.

 

If you take more, and do stupid shit like that, yeah, I guess there's a good chance of things goind badly.

 

If you are a fairly together peaceful individual than mushrooms likely won't make you feel compelled to assault someone. Choose your settings better (although I go to the library occasionally while tripping), but especially if you are tripping with friends and are going to be loud and all that.

Paranoia creeping in like that is not uncommon while tripping, your thoughts sort of reminded me of Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when they pick up a hitchiker and he gets all paranoid "Could he hear me, was I speaking out loud."

 

Okay i guess if there is a next time i'll go with the same friend maybe in a field or forest? Because my slight hostility only occurs around people i don't know, so with only my friend there'd be no paranoia or bad thoughts.

 

Exactly.

Confined places, where you must be close to sober people, can be VERY bad on psychedelics.

If you must be in a sober sort of public, simply make sure you have nothing illegal on you, stay calm, don't make random outbursts, etc.

I suppose you could end up in protective custody, if you're REALLY out of it.... But never admit to doing anything illegal, and you'd be okay in the long-term legal sense. Stay positive and friendly, it's not illegal to be good-naturedly-insane, but it's very illegal to have violent outbursts (be they vocal or physical, for disturbing the peace or assault).

Anyways, if you can not be a total fucking loud douchebag, a library actually sounds like an amazing, magical place to trip..... even if you're way too far gone to read, just knowing all the knowledge and ideas around you would be awesome. I think I'll have to figure out a stress-free way to get myself into a library on psychedelics.

 

Slright thanks for the much helpfull information.

 

i have had similar situations. for me, this is one of the biggest differences between acid and mushrooms. on acid, my mood often doesnt waver except maybe a little bit during the come up. after that i am good all the way through to the end. on shrooms, i feel like emotions come in waves. ill be really enjoying it, and then something small will happen to make me uncomfortable and i will feel like i am being pulled into a bad place. i just have to fight it and stay positive and it always ends up ok. usually if i just focus on something else or remove myself frem the situation i am fine right away.
last time i took mushrooms, there were a couple people i was with that were making me nervous. one of them kept spilling wine on my best friends capret and i thought my friend (who was also on mushrooms and has gone ape-shit on them before) was going to freak out. i got afraid of that. the the kid spilling the wine said he was shaky because he hadnt eaten much. he looked rather skinny and frail to begin with. i got very bad feelings about him. he was radiating unhealthiness and this weird unsettling enrgy that i didnt like. i kept my distance from him. he and my friend did eventually get into an argument and i again i felt the negative enrgy seeping into me and pulling me into a bad frame of mind. during that same night my friend got lost in the woods and i had to go find her and lead her out. mind you she was only drunk and i was tripping balls. surprisingly, this part of the night was not scary. when tripping, i have no fear of the woods. even though it was late at night and i had no flashlight or cell phone. i felt totally at piece with nature. it was actually my drunk friend who was bringing me down. i didnt like her crazy drunkenness. it wasnt compatible with my tripiness. i felt upset with her for being so clumsy and difficult and disoriented. i think the whole night i was seeking a much calmer group of people to be with.
these things dont really bother me on acid. i think next time i will save mushrooms for when i am alone in my apartment and dont have to worry about anything.

 

^^^taking mushrooms alone in nature would be more enjoyable, i think.

last time i ate shrooms, it was at my apt. with nothing to do. i feel like for me they are better saved for a camping trip or something.

or maybe your apt. is at least close to some woods or a park and you can go for a walk there after you eat the shrooms?
