Shrooms
I did shrooms recently for the first time, the fancy new legal kind you can buy in vape shops. I made a post on stonerchan, but the site nuked itself and when it came back it lost all its posts, so I'll try to recall the experience. I estimated at the time I took around 0.93g of detoxified Amanita Muscaria in the form of chocolate. It took about 45 minutes to kick in. I noticed my heart beating a little faster, but that sensation quickly faded. I had a mild headache and stomach pain, but I'm not sure if they were related, and I soon forgot them. Colors became more vibrant, and the world started to have a mild chromatic aberration to it. My limbs felt abnormally long, and there was the strange sensation that my senses of sight, sound, and touch, were new and unfamiliar experiences. I could see pretty colors on the periphery of my vision, and pretty lights when closing my eyes. Things that moved quickly had mild afterimages, and I got a euphoric feeling that made me all giggly against my will. I tried play a puzzle videogame to see if I would develop new strategies, but I was noticeably worse and soon gave up on that. I tried looking at some hentai and everything was fucking beautiful, though it was all from my personal collection so I couldn't encounter anything not to my tastes. At the end of the night as I got tired and the effects were wearing off, I put on some headphones and listened to my music. It had the feeling of being "wider" than normal.
A week later, I tried taking half the same amount of chocolate to see if microdosing would effect my dreams, but experienced nothing. Another week later, I tried taking twice as many squares, which should have been about 1.86g, to little positive effect. It took over an hour to kick in, I developed a headache, and a stomach ache that I attribute to the large amount of cocoa and sugar that I normally avoid. When it did kick in, I felt mildly like I was drunk but happier, yet this euphoric feeling was undermined by my disappointment in the effects I was experience. I was a little wobbly on my feet if I didn't focus on it, and a little giggly, but experienced almost no hallucinogenic effects. The most I could muster was making repeating patterns like ceiling or wall look wobbly and melty if I stare at them. This is something I can do when sober, and the effect was only somewhat strengthened. I'm hoping that I haven't built some kind of tolerance after my first experience and that it's simply that there's an uneven distribution of the active ingredient in the chocolate. I spent most of the time playing the same puzzle game as last time on easy mode to get more gold trophies for the sake of completionist autism. I'm going to the eat the remaining bar today, which should be about 3.73g, but could be more or less.
