my mystical journey
wow, yesterday was a long day. not a bad long day- just a long day. probably because i worked from 730 in the morning until 2. uneventful. then i went to gus' house with gwen where we finally did it. we were going to eat shrooms. i had about a gram and half at first when we put them in fettucine alfredo (something i definitely recommend, as they tasted really good covered in alfredo sauce) and the adventure began.
they take awhile to kick in (about an hour) so at first i was angry i didn't feel any different. we played super mario for awhile, which was when gwen's stomach started to hurt. at first i thought it was nothing (it's typical to get stomachaches from shrooms) but minutes later she looked in a great deal of pain. so she called to go home. at that point, me and gus didn't feel much of a buzz so we ate more (him with an apple, mine in cereal. we both ate about another gram or so). gus was panicking so i kind of had to stay calm so that they both wouldn't freak out. by this point she was in some kind of excruciating pain so i kept telling her to puke, which she finally did. thank goodness, because she went home for a bit and then felt fine so she came and met us later.
back to the journey. it started kicking in in gus' basement just before gwen went home. people say you see things on shrooms- the only things i saw were some weird visuals (i described it as 'color confetti'- i could tell it wasn't a tangible thing but little spots of color looked to be floating in the air.) and things would appear to move a little, things like that. you laugh a lot when you're on them; these little visuals crack you up for awhile. it was good.
the real part of the adventure was when me and gus went to the mall. we went to the bus stop where we talked about the nature of the human race and stuff. this drug, at least for him, makes your philosophical thinking go through the roof. me and gus never really talk about any insightful ideas but the whole journey was basically us spouting philosophical reasoning to each other. lights look really cool outside at night, i must say. a couple times my body felt really light and floaty. fluid, almost. that was quite neat. the bus ride was interesting. i tripped gus out by explaining how we can physically do a lot more than our society's boundaries would allow- for example, i said, this bus physically could just keep driving onto the highway- the only thing stopping it is these accepted boundaries.
the mall was the perfect place to go, i think. everything looked so animated- however, we both concluded that the mall is an artifical wasteland. which it is, everything is so packaged and manufactured. we talked about that for awhile, then called gwen to see if she was okay. (i was afraid she might be tripping out in her room but no worries, she puked it all out.) we decided to meet her at williams at 9, then continued tripping out around the mall. gus couldn't really control himself so i had to be calm and focused at times to keep him with reality. i was under the impression that shrooms were a really uncontrollable drug. it's the same as being high- you know you're fucked but it's doubtful anyone else would.
most of the night consisted of me and gus discussing ideas. that's what i love about this drug- it kind of brings everyone to my page of thinking. i found that i didn't think more or deeply, but it was a lot easier to express the ideas i had had all along because now he understood. it was a great bonding time for us, i must say.
then we met gwen, which was when my buzz was faded. that was pretty uneventful, but she seemed amused with our stories.
this doesn't even begin to explain half of it, but the experience was really something i'd be hardpressed to put into words. i can tell you that it is a wonderful drug and i would definitely do it again. unlike how most drugs leave you with a "downer" effect afterwards, this one makes you feel extrememly satisfied. i would say it's a little like pot without the adverse effects. you can talk coherently (i talked to my mom for a good ten minutes on the phone while tripping out hardcore and it was fine.) you don't get the munchies (actually, you have no desire to eat at all), no pasties and you want to talk more, not less. no red eyes (although your pupils dialate like crazy). it loosens your inhibitions but not in the adverse ways of alcohol. (you don't want to do stupid things but you're more likely to talk about thoughts and feelings.) to anyone not against taking drugs, i would highly, highly recommend you try them at least once. i have absolutely nothing negative to say about my whole experience. it makes you very alert for the whole experience, like a strong caffeine buzz but wow, do you sleep well. i had the best sleep in a long time this morning- i felt so rested when i woke up it was incredible.
on that note, off to work i go- so in conclusion, shrooms get two thumbs up.
