Took 5. Mixed with lemon juice (it hits you faster and harder, not recommended for larger doses like 3 and above) realized that everything and everyone is merely constructed by the brain in an elaborate hallucination that I have no way of knowing if anything is truly real or merely conjured by my consciousness. I havent gone back to mushrooms since as the feeling of being utterly alone is too much to bear.

My first time on shrooms. Two friends and I took 4.5g (I think) each. Three other friends who did not know about the shrooms joined us shortly after and we went walking into the woods. The whole experience was surreal, at one point I had someone else's hands, and later on I bounced an old tire off my friend's head. He knows he deserved it for trying to fuck my sky.

I've done much smaller happy time does since then, but would love to trip in nature again!

I thought it was profound at the time, but no, it wasn't at all.

This was a meme I posted a while back and based on a true story:

Basically I thought that plants were the manifestation of God himself. All around us, providing us with live-sustaining oxygen and food.

Did a bunch of acid for a while, and that had a pretty profound effect on how I perceived the world.

But the most profound was a DMT trip that made me stop being an atheist.

Darkness made my trip much more powerful.

In the darkness, i saw sowe worms. At first i was afraid of them, but i immediately realized i could erase them if i wanted, and became unafraid. I watched them grow into an entire universe and became a small part of an enormous alien life form. I felt energy flowing in and out of me until it shifted toward out. Eventually, life moved on from me. I died and became buried under a meadow of grass, yellow flowers and small trees. I realized i was in heaven and could have whatever full experience i desired. My reward was to resume the life i am living now.

It wasn't so much that it was profound, but that something incredibly odd happened to me.

I had taken lsd but not enough to go full spaceman or anything so I was definitely still sharing the same experience as everyone around me lol I was in a house with 4 other people who were inviting friends of theirs over for a party so this one girl walks in and looked fine, like generic whatever nothing standing out, but something inside me was practically screaming "I fucking hate this person" and sure as shit 20 minutes later she's walking around the house criticizing everything and making fun of my roommates.

I never lash out at anyone, but this girl pissed me off so much the way she treated everyone that I lost it. Just said basically you're a fucking guest, just some girl our friend brought over, you don't like it here get the fuck out! How dare you come in here and treat everyone like this!

It was so wild to just have such an intense feeling about someone before knowing anything at all about them and it being 100% correct.

One time I read about the Buddha and I decided to just sit quietly under a tree for as long as it took. It took a while. Sure I've also tried lots of drugs but nothing really beats zazen if you manage to get to the end.

Idk about profound but the most extreme was the time I did a bunch of speed and came home to a mushroom party my bffs were having and wanted me to join. Despite misgivings, my desire to do drugs eventually overcame my reluctance.

It took a lot longer than usual for the mushrooms to kick in. I thought i was in the clear. And then WHAM I was reduced to a gibbering idiot for like 12h. I tried to eat my gf's leg, and then started licking our shag blanket to the point my tongue was raw for days and I could barely eat. Thats about when I came to, because apparentlyid been at a whole ass party for hours before this which j have zero memory of. At that point, tripping balls and aware everyone was worried about me, I started blinking through realities - literally, id blink my eyes and suddenly everything is alien green, shit like that. All I could do was lay on the floor and wait for it to end. My gf at the time was endlessly patient with me, bless her.

Thats when I worried id broken myself and my mom was gonna have to check me into a hospital. Thus began the worst idk 4-8h of tripping ive ever had.

Just laying on the floor, immobile, sometimes crying, terrified my judgmental mom was gonna have to go through a bunch of trouble over me. Stuck in a hellscape between the two women i loved and praying it would end.

On the plus side, lots of movies just dont do anything for me bc my own brain traumatized me hard enough. Im working on that. I saw Hellraiser 2 years later and had a good laugh.

At the time, it was rather profound, although if I learned any truths beyond what hours of intense psychiatric pain can do I dont know what it was. All in all 2/10 (i did apparently have a good time at that party)

Don’t.
