Pictos Trip report

Dose: 5 grams dried Psilocybe Cubensis

I had read many different things claiming you had not really had a true
Psychedelic experience until you had tried doses over 5g cubensis or around
2g copelandia, so when I finally got access to 5g in Cambridge I decided to
eat it and see what the score really was.
I mixed the powdered shrooms with water but much of the powder stayed on
the surface of the liquid making it difficult to drink. I felt a slight
nausea after consuming it because of the amount of material i had consumed
but i found it fine after i had smoked a little bit of a spliff (i soon
stubbed it out as i didn't see the point, the psilocybin was running to
strong already).
After this i put on some eye shades and some headphones listening to a
mixture of ska, psychedelic trance and 601s hippie music. Soon huge
kaleidoscopic patterns were appearing in front of my closed eyes, moving in
time with music. This continued for a while but was soon overtaken with
whole aztec interlocking patterns covering my sight, around this time an Orb
track was playing and i started tracking and saying the lyrics to myself and
relaying them onto what was currently happening to me.
I would be narrating ideas to myself when suddenly a huge burst of
adrenaline would hit me and i would suddenly say to myself Your naked in a
bath and i would see myself lying in murky water in a pink bathroom with my
body covered in thick hair, with strange childlike caricatures laughing at
me. This would only appear for a little while and would soon return to the
huge complex shapes i was seeing before. As the waves of adrenaline that
always haunt the first two or three hours of a mushroom trip were getting a
little less intense i started seeing myself in a room under my floorboards
covered in fountains and small fire torches, with all the brick work in a
very aztec style.
A little after this i decided to take the eyshadows off and sit with the
rest of the people who were tripping on the other side of the room, as i sat
down i started thinking about theories of the universe, especially the
theory of infinite possibilities and as i thought of this huge, utterly
different whole universes appeared in my head, not so much a visual trip but
a very acute thought trips of the like i had never seen, unfolding out until
i could see literally hundreds of them.
Soon after this i got another very strong thought trip, i was flying down
into an unspoilt valley (very like an IMAX cinema if anyone knows what im
talking about) and soon came across two neanderthal like creatures gazing at
each other with a look i can only describe as pure love, dressed in furs
carrying gnarled sticks but unable to communicate something they both felt,
i remember thinking very simple, very pure.
Then i started thinking about cycles and saw the whole of red/blue shift
theory in action and saw anything ive ever thought collapsing then
recreating itself, i started thinking i had discovered the true reality's
all life is based on, how every animal under humans is similar to us but
just more and more confused, i started worrying deeply that i had found out
to much, and what i could possibly do with this information, after all if
you know everything what's the point in living, you will never be surprised
again. Then i started thinking about T Mckenna1s theories especially
regarding psilocybin use and the freak acceleration in evolution humans have
achieved, and that we are not different from animals, nature is not there to
be conquered and triumphed over it is there to be cherished and explored by
everyone and anyone, we are nature.
I have forgotten many other parts of this trip, it was very intense and
much like having a dream, total out of body experiences, total time
displacement theory. To back up what Gno was saying, these levels of
mushroom trips create some of the most amazing things you will ever feel,
but this also exposed me to many things i think could destroy someone if
used constantly or binged on. These drugs are not toys, they are not like
any other drug, they will blast you into another world, use them wisely,
they will destroy you if you don't.
