Dr. NS psilocybe experts (what the fuck did i do)

Over the past few months, my interest in mushrooms has greatly increased. Living in the pacific northwest, they are very abundant so i figured, sooner or later i have to try them. I have done lots of research and i felt that i was ready to run some tests myself to get comfortable with them. (not eat them yet)

So this happened on monday night, and i have since been enlightened mentally.

I was walking home the same way that I do everyday, through a forest. I have always been well aware of the mushrooms growing almost everywhere through this forest. Well, i figured, before i try these, i better get understand these on a personal level. I carefully picked 15 psilocybin cubensis mushrooms and brought them back to my house. After i had eaten dinner i ran spore prints on all of them. (For those of you that don't know what a spore print is, it is where you rub the mushroom onto a piece of paper. The psilocybin in the mushrooms reacts with the starch in the paper and turns a purple/blue.) Since i did 15 spore prints, my finger tips were covered in mushroom stuff. I was going to wash my hands off, but i had been sidetracked by my realization that i had to make someone a beanie.

So...At around 10:30 at night, i was sitting in my room eating some doritos. Well, me being me, i had to lick my fingers off to get the dorito dust. Fuckme.jpg

Without thinking anything of it, i licked my fingers off, splashed some water on my face and proceeded to going to bed. Well at around 11, i was laying in bed with the lights out. I started to feel as if i was on a VERY heavy indica, and i started getting VERY scared. I could hear footsteps walking through my room, lots of them, and i looked up to see several distorted shadows. I could see the outline of my cat laying at the foot of my bed, and i didn't want him to become possesed by these figures. I began to reach for him but i realized that my feet were around 50 feet away, i could feel the length in my body and my cat was extremely small. Im talking around the size of a squirrel.

So at that point, i had no idea what the fuck was going on. A thought popped into my mind that i had ingested the psylocybin from those mushrooms earlier. At this point, i was beyond terrifyied, more so than when we saw a dead man just a few feet away from us on our road. At this point, i thought that these shrooms were bad and that i was slowly dying. I jumped out of bed and looked in the mirror, i had completely lost my sense of self and the human form made ZERO sense to me. I proceeded to take a piss. When i was "done" pissing i left the toilet and walked to my counter, only to realize i was still urinating.

With the thought of death in my mind, i wanted to run up and tell my parents i was going to die and that i needed my stomach pumped. But i could not think of an appropriate excuse that involved ingesting psilocybin mushrooms. I eased myself into bed, terrifyed. After two hours trembling/shaking, i had accepted death and told myself i was ready to leave the world. I managed to play "the end" by the doors as i slipped into what seemed to be a week long sleep. When i woke up the next day, i looked around, amazed at life. I moved my fingers in and out and took slow steps. I was in complete denial of life at that point. I did not talk to anyone at school that day, as i was to busy thinking about the perception of reality and if i had died last night. My outlook on life will likely never be the same.

The next day in school, my teacher drew a long line across the smart board, and that exact line had appeared on the whiteboard next to the smart board, except i could see into what i believed to be the room next door through that line. To this day, i am still having mild residuals from it.

so NS, what the fuck happend, will i be ok?

yeah, yeah TL;DR
 
damn never heard of tripping off like contact like that. at least with out eating it you know? but i don't doubt it i guess all i can say is be happy you didn't accidentally ingest like an eighth of them alone hahahah like that would ever happen but i guess it could be worse. + vibes dude i know what it's like to have a bad trip. Seriously i can't think of anything more frightening. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I would wish it on my ex though. she kinda sucks.
but i'm curious about your knowledge of these. like i don't remember from your post but had you taken them before? or did you just do mad research on them?
 
Are you sure your mind isn't playing tricks on you? I mean you just licked your fingers which yeah might not have been 100% clean but you didn't stick them in your mouth after every shroom you touched. Also how long had it been since you did the spore prints?

You might have gotten a little bit of the effect and then anxiety did the rest. That's what it sounds like at least. I mean if you were playing around with a wet sheet of lsd that's different.

And what you were saying about the next day I didn't really get that.

IT seems like you might want to stay away from hallucinogenics. They aren't for everybody.
 
your fine, flashbacks can happen but they rarely do after a bit of time, for me it was about 6 months. bad trips are gnarly tho, and an unintentional trip, in the darkness and uncertainty of nighttime could definitely be a recipe for an awful experience. best advice i can give is don't dwell on it too much. your still fundamentally you, and the world is too.
 
this might be the case, but i know that what happened should not have happened so i am just very curious. also i read that if you ingest lethal mushrooms that it takes around 2-3 weeks to kill you, so im concerned about that.

Oh and if this helps, 9 out of the 15 spore prints were successful, but i am unsure if all of them were done correctly
 
That's where your anxiety is fucking you over. If you started to feel some mild effects, your mind started wandering to the thought of poisonous mushrooms which can bring on some intense side effects. A hardcore anxiety attack is a lot like a bad trip.

You said you didn't eat any of them and it was just what might have been on your fingers right?
 
dude i would go to the hospital if you keep having problems. for an excuse..well you walk throught the woods right? say youwere fucking around and throwing shrooms or some stupid kid like shit like that, they would beleive you
 
Hahaha you won't die dude you're fine seriously. Like the abortionator said if you were playin around with a wet sheet of LSD this would be a hugely different story. You licked your fingers after touching shrooms I have never heard of anyone tripping badly just by touching moist or fresh psychoactive mushrooms. Like he said probably had a little effect of the drug extrapolated to the max by anxiety. You won't die in two or three weeks though hahaha
 
you did not and will not overdose on mushrooms. seriously your psyche would be way way way more fucked for a lot longer than just one night. its a ludicrous amount to overdose, you would be insane by the time you got there.
 
placebo bro. u wernt tripping from just touching them. there active at a dose of a gram or more. espeshily if the wet u need like 50+grams

 
If you ate the wrong kind it's not that hard.

As for anyone that hasn't eaten shrooms before and wants to try them. By them from a reputable source prolly somewhere where your friends have gotten them recently. Then you pretty much can't fuck up, and you won't have the anxiety thinking you might have eaten something crazy poisonous.

Also, it's a pretty bad idea to just take a book on mushrooms, and go into the woods and start collecting and eating mushrooms. Go with somebody who knows what they're doing a few times or just buy an 8th from somebody.

It never hurts to be careful.
 
OP from your post I would guess that you accidentally took some psilocybin from licking your fingers, and then the anxiety of accidentally being on mushrooms when you wanted to go to bed and with your parents in your house probably just killed you. Anxiety = tripping balls.

A friend of mine picks shrooms sometimes, and he usually prints them by putting his caps onto a piece of paper, and then puts a glass over them, and leaves it overnight. Take the cup/caps off the next day and there's a really nice spore print left over. Never heard of people actually pressing them into the paper before, just thought I'd offer another method that I've seen work well.

As for flashbacks... You might still have some in your system the next day; its common to feel a bit out of it for a day after tripping. A bad trip is just in your head though - none of that shit happened, there are no mushrooms in you any more, and you're fine. Stop dwelling on it, and it goes away. You need to integrate the experience of the bad trip into your life, and you do that by just calling it a bad experience that happened, and is now over. Drugs don't rewire your brain except with heavy use, and don't convince yourself otherwise. I find its generally bad to assume that you have life changing experiences while on mushrooms, although you can definitely have very significant experiences. Its all what you make of it.

On that note, for anyone who is planning to try this... There are a lot of mushrooms out there, and most of them do NOT make you trip. If you're going to do this there are good ways to ensure everything goes well, but you need to make sure you do it right or you could end up having a really bad night. spore prints are key, and so is knowing whats growing in your area.
 
lol those mushrooms did not do that to you man.

i would hesitate to believe a mushroom trip that was that crazy unless you ate a lot.

my buddies have eaten a quarter or more and not gotten to that point lol

any time i've done shrooms, i don't go full retard. i mean you're tripping out, and at peak times things can get a little weird...but what you described is pretty wild.

anxiety at it's best. goes to show the mind is actually the most powerful drug.

i wish i could get fucked up like that on command haha.
 
Not all mushrooms are the same. Some you can eat a whole bunch and you don't get THAT fucked up. Some you eat a few caps and your fucking tripping hard.

"any time i've done shrooms, i don't go full retard. i mean you're tripping out, and at peak times things can get a little weird...but what you described is pretty wild."

IF you eat enough good shooms, shit can get really wild.

"anxiety at it's best. goes to show the mind is actually the most powerful drug."

Exactly.

"i wish i could get fucked up like that on command haha."

derp derp derp
 
Lesson learned...be careful?

But seriously, sucks you had a bad trip but don't pick mushrooms from the forest
 
Interesting story. I've never tried them myself but I definitely have no want to do so. But I guess you could look at it this way; If you only licked your fingers after touching them, imagine what it would've been like if you ate them...
 
I don't think people are getting it. The effect from the shrooms was minimal if any. The anxiety was the biggest problem.

IT just makes more sense to me to buy something that you know is legit, especially if you're new to things. Then you know that, alright I'm gonna trip but everything's cool and I'm not gonna die. Picking randoms can leave you with that thought in your mind as seen here.

But when eating anything, anxiety can be a real bitch. Gotta be careful and get a nice setting. If you're scared to trip probably wait till you aren't. If anxiety fucks up your trip you still gotta ride it out for a few hours.

 
inb4 ohmybosh. but really, not a chance could you trip that hard from that little. iv taken 10g for simmilar results (ego death)
 
I ate mushrooms almost every other day for 3 or 4 months, my tolerance was quite high and that was on day 4 or 5 in a row of eating them
 
Yea... I seriously doubt you found cubes in the NW in december. And you definately weren't tripping off licking your goddamn fingers. This thread is ballsacks. 10g isn't an insane dose of dry mushrooms (cubes at least) if you're experienced.
 
Great way to fuck your body up but alright that makes sense. If you don't mind me asking why the fuck did you do boomers every other day for 3 to 4 months that is literally unbelievable. Like were you on deck and just kept at it? I've taken a lot of psychedelics but never ever had the urge to do them on a regular basis. It's so hard on your mind hahaha
 
I assumed they were dried, as 10g wet isn't enough to experience anythingfor the vast majority of people on the planet. And I don't believe the 4-5x a week thing... finding the time to do it 4-5x a week is difficult enough.. and that's not even thinking about the tolerance that your body builds up exponentially when you take them in such rapid succession... You'd be taking retardedly large doses for minimal effects after a week or two
 
I agree. But seriously why the 3 or 4 months of just eating boomers hahaha I have never met anyone who likes mushrooms that much. I have never even heard of someone continuously using that long. Especially since you gain a tolerance to mushrooms so easily. You can eat a half eighth one day and take an eight the next day and won't get as high as you were the day before.
 
it was more like 2-3 times a week, usually not tripping real hard just some tea and on weekends maybe dose a little more. 2-3 days and my tollerence would be down to near normal. It took its tole on my mind and body I was ppretty tired all the time
 
I did boomers a few times a week for a few months. Almost every day for a little while.

I didn't eat large amounts every time. I stopped smoking weed so I just sate mushrooms instead. My friends would smoke a blunt, I'd eat a few caps.
 
pretty much the same thing, stopped smoking weed. Me and my roommate who I hadn't previousl met had a lot of mutual friends and we'd always have people over and trip. one of us would come home from work not planning on doing them but the other would be down to trip and have a few buddies over so we'd join in and vise versa. I was having lots of fun experimenting and I may or may not have been selling so I always had a good supply. And yeah its hard on the mind, sometimes I'd take a break from partying and go back to my parents house for a weekend of rest and relaxation
 
the drug just opens the door, what you do with it is all up to you. i have traveled places purposefully of small hits of acid, and have stayed relevantly stable of larger hits. it really depends on how far you want to push it. anyone who has really experimented with the the wide range of possibilities surrounding these drugs will agree with that
 
Sounds like a drunken night to me... I came home, starting pissing everywhere, thought I was going to die and passed out.
 
I was really hoping for a fresh prince of bel air ending to that story, i am disappoint.
 
This thread is crazy. Good info. I believe it, too, the trace-effects-to-anxiety theory.

I've never done shrooms, (I'm not ready yet mentally) but there was one time in college where all my friends were tripping on shrooms. I got there late, and there were none left, so I broke out some good afghan hash and took a couple bong rips. I was good and body buzzed, and we all went to another building's lounge and put the couches together. We were all together, and at this point everyone was peaking their trip out. All of the sudden my buzz was totally different than ever before (I had been blowing this afghani shit for the past week) and I became super empathetic, reading my friends' feelings really well; I genuinely loved and cared for them in a new way. Then one of the girls started playing the piano and I could feel the notes in my spine. We shut the lights off and we were all sort of cuddling and having deep conversation; then I look out the window and see the river glow BRIGHT and almost lift off from itself in a moon-light colored haze. It was fucking trippy.

This was strictly a contact buzz. After that I was really impressed at our collective abilities to project thoughts into our external realities. Their brainwaves were fucking with mine, it's like how yawning is contagious. That's my guess anyway. Even if it was purely in my head, it was super intense.
