well today finally came, my best friend arived from Victoria today and we did our first and last mushroom experience (don't want to make it a habbit). I was actaully really nervous at first, but I found a serenety just overtook me as it started to set in so I got up the nerve to just take the dose I was intending and I gotta say it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. intense would be the best word to describe it, it was definately the most incredible experience of my life.
we started out with the shrooms in my room and just sat there and chilled, listening to music. then after about 40 minutes we just barely started to notice it so we decided to get going to the woods where we were planning on tripping, since my parents were home and we didn't want to get caught. just as we were heading out, our (sober) friend "jessica" (we'll call her) came around so she joined us out to the woods. oddly enough, the first 3 hours we just felt like we were kind of percieving things a bit differently, and my friend was actually feeling really down and depressed. so we declared it a crappy and uneventfull high and headed back to alisa's place.
now on the car ride there, that's when we realized the trip wasn't done, it was only just beginning. I was sitting in the back seat just laughing my ass off at some points and just chilling at others, and he was sitting up front, still feeling very depressed and withdrawn.
upon ariving at her place, we sat down on the couch and just talked for a bit when it suddenly came upon me, I just started laughing hysterically and realized that I would get my trip after all and said "thank you thank you" (to the mushrooms gods I guess). my friend just said "oh, it looks like it hitting mike after all, wish I could get there", and surely enough, within 10-15 minutes he was right there with me.
the whole time we were on the couch laughing hard (in on-and-off spurts), struggling to describe the overwhelming and wonderous new consciousness and perception we had gained. everything seemed to be remarkably clear and beautiful. We both felt incredibly euphoric and felt incredibly close to each other, something that sounds more like ecstasy actually, just sorta talking to each other about the journey we were both on and both understanding each other perfectly and how we saw things (my friend was definately no longer depressed). I remember looking at the walls and seeing them going all wavy kind of matrix style, and when I saw the bob marley poster on the wall the colours just changed into the most incredible picture I had ever seen. I went outside once, for reasons I'm not sure of, and was overwhelmed by all the lights and images outside and the shere beauty of it all. finally I noticed a bright pink house across the street and said "oh damnit that house it too pink, I can't handle this" lol and went back inside. heh, also I actually said to my two friends how much I loved them (shut up, I was really high ), but my other friend was saying the same thing, it was a remarkable emotional experience, we both had tears going down our face from what we both decided was an emotion that didn't exist before we tried the shrooms, but it was the most wonderfull, incredible emotion of my life.
after about 3 intense hours we both came down at the same time (the whole thing happened in perfect unison actually) and we both felt we had a much more possitive outlook on life. the best way to describe it was when my friend said "it just blew my mind open" and I think that was perfect, "opened" was really the only word for it.
personally, I found it opened us both up more than I ever knew possible and let us deal with everything in our lives that we struggled with in amazing clarity. honestly, assuming this experience is consistent, I think shrooms could be used in psychotherapy. I've come out of it a better person and my innitial fear about trying it was totally unecessary, I didn't feel all mentally "smothered" like I do when I smoke weed (not that weed isnt' wonderfull).
