Being on shrooms.
First off, it's not really describable... you have to be on them to know what the hell they are.
At first it was like pot, but... once the cover had been flapped off, you can see how much different it is.
The most memorable thing is the sight. I didn't hallucinate at all. It was different... spiritual even, as the famous Mattick once said he experienced.
But going back to sight... it's like, seeing everything casual is much more. It's all much more, deep, needing to be understanded. You sit there and you stare at a tree, a light, a shadow, a movement... and it all becomes so much more. Unlike pot, where, once you trip, you really have no control at all, you do have control on shrooms. The thing is... that control gets distorted when you start focusing on different things... it's hard to concentrate on more than one thing at a time.. which reminds me of how the health teacher described being drunk.
You space out a lot... you get sketchy and you think you are sketchy and you think everyone else is sketchy, and it's really frightening, especially to people around you. You're always asking yourself deep questions and I remember saying what I thought at the time were deep things but they really weren't... but you think everything's just so philisophical and deep and beautiful and learnable. It's all insight, like you are just being born or something and you are experiencing all these things all over again. And when I was coming off it, I felt like I was a changed person, and thought like I was going to value all these "common things" a lot more, but that's not true... the shrooms made me that way and I'm not saying that's a good way to be, but it was a change... and after I was fully off it, I realized this... that I was just a normal being. And that's cool.
