Cannabis & Shroom Trip Thread

Used to dabble in psychedelics in my early days (18-27). Never had a bad trip once, until the last shroom trip back in 2012. Honeypot shrooms from the legends in Fourways. Went overboard and had 3 pots in one go, at home in my room. Started off really well, curtains moving on their own, lights brightening, feelings of euphoria...

Then it took a turn for the worse. Started to lose touch with reality, almost Inception like. As it went deeper, I felt as if I was getting further away from myself. In that intense paranoia, I began to feel as if I had destroyed my life by taking this dose, and the hallucinations intensified tenfold. Similar to others, I curled up into a fetal position, closed my eyes (holy sh*t, the things I saw) and battled through it for hours.

Bounced back to life after a couple of hours feeling completely drained and traumatized. That trip changed me forever. I went from an aspiring psychonaut, to someone who now hates being in a position where I am potentially not in control of my actions and my mind. I do miss it sometimes, but I can't bring myself to touch psychedelics again. It was the first, and only, time in my life where I truly felt as if I had lost control of my mind. Now, the fear prevents me from ever braving it again!

One day though, I hope to do a shamanic led ayahuasca 'cleanse' and a pilgrimage to the himalayas with some charas!

Seems like enhanced physical senses is a common occurrence.

Tried searching related scientific studies on hearing but could only find papers for experiments in the 70's, only testing whether hearing got worse while stoned. No groups were tested to ascertain whether hearing improved.

Had some cheese whilst stoned and it was the best cheese I ever tasted even though it was bargain bin gouda

I had a similar bad trip once, it put me off shrooms for about 5 years.Only recently started again, but havnt done anything over 2g dried.
 
Friday night had some Berry OG in dry vape. For the first time cannabis made me very talkative. Whatever popped up in my head would come out in words, there was no filter. Now I know what extroverts go through.

Saturday afternoon was time for edibles. Ate a donut and a half which equaled to about 45mg of THC. An hour and a half later and it was tough to understand some English words and phrases while watching TV. Every now and then sounds would become distorted, including hearing double.
 
Today went to a year end function on a boat. Before setting off in an Uber to the meeting place vaped dry mix of local skunk and Chemdawg. Husband and I were stoned on the bus, and an hour later we were on the boat.

It was a good test to see how well I could blend in with drinkers, and it worked. Nobody thought anything strange about my walking style. People in earshot looked only slightly suspicious when I commented on the colours being so vivid. And the couple next to us at lunchtime joined me in a foodgasm over the ice-cream and fruit salad. Had a space biscuit during lunch and settled into another high.

Boat ride itself was truly an amazing experience, especially when it bobbed up and down when speed boats flew past.

For some reason I imagined everyone on the boat as an 8 year old. It was hilarious. At one point I could hear people say an odd word out in every sentence. The funny thing was being aware that the person didn't say the odd word but not aware of what they actually said.

Down side didn't spoil the overall experience but was unpleasant. Kept wanting to go the toilet every 15 minutes for the first two hours. Felt like cramping with diarrhea. Eventually learnt it's just mind over matter.

Cannabis is not a psychedelic

In dispute. This article explains the lack of reasearch on cannabis. Speaking from personal observations I've experienced both hallucinations and expansion of consciousness. Surely I can't be the only one.

Marijuana isn't typically thought of as a psychedelic — a drug that produces hallucinations or an apparent expansion of consciousness.

This is terrible. Usually my orders are delivered the next day, but I am in JHB.

I know a few people who have had similar experiences. Although I have never, and I find it hard to imagine weed having those effects (I smoke every day). I usually just assume it's because the person is just not familiar with the effects of weed, and thus just interprets it as hallucinations. Weed doesn't produce hallucinations, rater it intensifies things we are experiencing such as sound and sight, coupled with the anxiety and very deep thoughts, to the point where some would call it a hallucination.
I guess it depends on the person.

You mention smoking weed daily. Have you vaped weed or eaten edibles? How it's consumed could make a difference. To me sound isn't only intensified. I've heard voices coming from the TV sounding like chipmunks and a few times a tone that is the devil's voice heard in horror movies. Visually there's been a honeycomb pattern and a superimposition of what looks like a motherboard.

Although I can tell you that when the trip is over it doesn't seem real whereas with shrooms it a person wondering. And while I haven't had a bad trip on weed yet, my recent shroom trip wasn't good. It feels like some of my vitality was taken away, leaving me feeling older.

Come to think of it, edibles can be pretty dam intense, maybe even to the point of hallucinations if you have enough. I've never vaped weed though so I can't talk on that.
I think that "older" feeling you have from the shrooms is all the universal knowledge you've gained Shrooms does have a way of making me feel weird for a few days after, but not in a bad way. I actually enjoy it. Like a sort of afterglow. Just me though

First trip had that feeling of heightened awareness with an awesome afterglow but not this latest one. There are actually gaps in conscious awareness during the experience. Have you ever had that happen to you?

Yes, for sure. It probably looks like you're "zoned out" during these gaps in conscious awareness I'm sure this is because of the fact that we are in a state of "higher consciousness". Some people can reach this state without psychedelics, and I feel that this should be everyone's goal when using these substances.

I usually don't remember parts of my 5 gram shroom trips... but the benefits last for months in my case (after I have finished putting myself back together LOL)

Thing is we don't really know what's out there in conscious world. In this trip the ugliness of earth became more transparent when the elves who coded the universe just shrug it off with a "Pfft, humans" attitude while finding myself in a room filled with void screaming "Stop the killings!" And blue dwarfs were rolling on the floor laughing, saying "It's hilarious." Very unpleasant to put it mildly.

Are you saying there's more introspection to do after a trip to put things in the right prospective? How long does that take?
