Psilocybin Stories1—There are different strands of magic mushrooms. Since it’s mostly illegal, you will likely not know how strong the mushrooms you have are, and what effects they might have. So it’s best to begin with a low dose.
I prefer higher doses, but for microdosing begin with .1 or .2 grams. You most likely won’t feel anything. Even at half a gram you might not feel anything. So begin low, then go from there.
If you don’t want to feel anything, continue with the .1 or .2 grams. If you want to feel some effects, go to 1 gram, and if you want the whole experience, take 3.5 or more grams.
Remember, each person reacts different to psilocybin. If you are taking other medicine, your medicine may effect your trip — whether it makes you not feel anything, or makes you feel something different, it just depends.
Safe bet is to begin with a small amount and go from there.
Anyway I think psychedelics are basically harmless. For me, they have been more than harmless. They have been extremely beneficial, helping me come to accept parts of myself I didn’t like before, increasing my self-awareness, raising my critical thinking skills, and deepening my spirituality.
The education system, and maybe family members, have taught you and I that “All drugs are bad, mmkay”, but that’s not true!!! Some drugs are bad, but some drugs are better than good, like psilocybin.
You might not feel some of the awesome effects of psilocybin if you are microdosing, but if that’s what you want, start with a small amount and then go from there. I’m excited for you.
Happy tripping.
The Psychedelic Trip Journal has three sections:
Part One prepares you for foreseen factors, protecting you from a bad trip and preparing you for an optimal experience.
Part Two is filled with activities to help ground yourself and enhance your experience. If you’re having a bad trip this section helps shift your focus. If you’re having a good trip this section gets you more in the zone of the present moment — being completely here now.
Part Three is a section of reflection. A place to write and draw what you experienced throughout your psychedelic journey.

One thing I really love about this strain is how it really does have the ability to teach. We all have things within us that we need to work on. Things we keep hidden from others and sometimes hidden from ourselves. Many times it’s easy to just ignore it and hope it goes away or gets better. Golden Teachers will bring it to the surface and make you face it. Being removed from yourself. Your “paradoxical” self is very liberating, educational and can also be very painful. Especially if you’re not in touch with yourself. Your self image more likely than not, is false. We are never the person we think we are. Nor can we ever be that person. At least these will teach us how to come to terms with that.

I find the taste of these to be fairly mild. It’s like a sweet almond with a bit of earthy aftertaste. The effects both the physical and psychologically could be felt within the first 30 mins. My legs felt jelly like. My hands were tingling with pins and needles. This sensation continued on. Which made walking feel like I was wearing snow boots two sizes too big. My hands were frozen. My face flush and my mouth was pretty much numb. My mood however was completely relaxed, carefree and childlike.

There is a continuous high but its intensity comes in waves leading up to the peak. What I like to call “waves of deception.” The reason I give them such a name is the deceptive nature of these waves. One moment bliss, total clarity of mind and peace. The next moment will turn the other way. In comes darkness my old friend. Both equally parts of your psyche. Now you can see things from a different perspective. All your issues you have been dealing with rearrange in your head. All colors are sharp and crisp. Natures elements of wind and rain seem to come alive in a new birth. Like seeing them for the first time. Then the other side of the wave hits. The dark side. The undertow trying to pull you down into the abyss of your indecision, regrets, hurts, anxieties and fears. Be brave this is just a wave. It too shall pass. Let the water heal you. Smooth sailing will come again.

^This is a funny, yet true statement.
We all react in different ways to just about everything.
Some people have allergies, some don’t.
Some people love horror movies, some don’t.
Some people love nature, some don’t.
Our bodies and personalities react to what we ingest AND what is outside of us – our environment impacts us.
This post is about your personality though, what is within you.
If you have had or currently have mental health issues, psilocybin might help.
It also might not help, so if you’re afraid of having the dreaded bad trip, make sure to prepare yourself as much as possible for a good one.
-Set Intentions
-Pray
-Prepare environment
-Prepare your mindset
It can also help to trip with someone you trust.
They are awesome for me, and others, and might not be for you, but if you never try, you’ll never know.
If you’re extremely pessimistic then I’ll be honest with you, nothing is going to fix you.
You need to believe you can be healed. Even if there’s the smallest belief, it can grow, and psilocybin can help you heal. You gotta believe.
Begin with intent – know why you’re going to try psilocybin.
Prayer is then encouraged.
And then get in the right headspace.
^Although sometimes you won’t be able to get into the right headspace until an hour or so after ingesting psilocybin.
It’s easy to be pessimistic in a pessimistic world, so I understand, and I’m pessimistic about some things. But with psilocybin therapy, believing it can help you is part of the process, and it might take trying it before you know for sure it can help you.
P.S. – psychologists&researchers have found that the questions we ask ourselves can strongly impact all of our experiences.
So ask yourself “what if psilocybin therapy could cure me?”
Now you’ve planted that idea into your subconscious.
The process has begun.
If you want to try psilocybin for therapeutic purposes, begin with intention and prayer.
—What outcome are you hoping for by using psilocybin?
—Defining a specific destination, your outcome, puts you on a path with a clear destination.
—This is similar to intention. Once you know your intention, now ask for it.
—You don’t need to believe in a specific God to pray. We are all communicating with life constantly, whether we know it or not. Life is responding to us. Our thoughts hold power, and prayer is directed thought. It’s thought with purpose.
—If you never ask for what you want, how could you ever get it?
Set your intention.
Ask for what you want.
You can dwell in intention and prayer as long as you want to before ingesting psilocybin.
It really is a magical experience, but there will most likely be both highs and lows throughout the experience, and in the end, it all passes.
It’s fleeting. Enjoy it.

1.3 grams of psilocybin
Tomorrow, or tonight if I’m not too tired.. I’ll make a thread of what happened the best way possible. You would not believe it.
Quick note: centralization is bad, that is why bitcoin will work. It helps us connect to what we used to have: Togetherness. Openness. Roots. I found so many answers.
Key word that stood out to me: searching.
You just won’t believe what happened or what I learned.
Alright let’s start. My breakthrough.
So we ate the shroom after taking a dip in the water and getting familiar with our surroundings.
Straight vibing and chilling. We get the effects such as: heaviness, more-so a body high.
Fast forward
We are just realizing shit and nature.
Later on.. idk how long we were just talking, looking around, realizing the beauty in everything. Then people came down. They’re clearly they’re the ones that maintain the falls because shitty ass humans leave trash and have no appreciation for nature, what its about.. i digress.
They came down to fix this bamboo raft because people use it for fun like us you know. It was super cool because they were family.. sort of like a tribe. NO ONE said anything. We all just mind our business and whatnot. While we trip and shit
There was even a “leader” of the tribe. He’s just an uncle or brother or something. They’re local people.
Didn’t say anything to us even tho we were throwing mandarin peels on the ground (fertilizer for plants 🙂
Anyways..
I finally take a dip in again. I grab a bamboo just to lay in the freshwater. Looking up at the greenery surrounding me. All the life. The breathing of leaves. Beautiful.
I try to tell my friends to come in, but don’t want to force because on shrooms you just accept. But in this case they were fine so I didn’t want to bother them.
The “tribe” people are done trying to fix the raft so they head up to the top of the falls.
There was one kid that was having trouble swimming because the river was getting intense and this is where I start tripping the fuck out. I started feeling it took on my feet and I was telling my friends that we should go up because there is possibly a flashflood.
The sun was going away and getting a little shady. The river current was getting stronger.
So I manned the fuck up and my first thought was: survival. I told my friends, “look i know im tripping out rn, but i think its a great idea to start moving up just in case”
Mind you, im on shrooms and so are 5 others. Im the one that took these guys on the hike. I was panicking hard af. One friend was just straight chilling with no worries.
But I had to take lead. I started pouring out half a gallon of water out into the river for lighter bag
I turned on my speakers and started hiking up the trail and told them, “Alright I got music. We are going to survive. We are not ending up on the news. Follow me and the sound of the music playing”
I was leader. This is where the breakthrough started.
In that moment I was like, “no one dies. i love life. we must enjoy everything and all the things. appreciate one another. we dont have a lot of time.” so on and so forth..
My mindset was strictly survival for my friends and I.
I threw all the bottles. Shirts, socks, whatever trash i could find and just throw that shit in my bag man. None of that belonged there. I was even thinking not even our shoes that we wear belong in that environment. Made-made bullshit.
I started trekking up the trail. I was fucking tarzan bro. Grabbing on branches and roots with one hand. Completely forgot there was a rope on the left side. I was even holding a waterproof bag full of ice and shit in one hand.
“Lets go guys we gotta get to higher ground!!”
Then we got up higher and at a safer area. Then I just sighed and told my friend closest to me “i know im tripping hard, but i love you guys and life. I wanted us to be safe”
He said “its okay man, don’t worry”
Then we got to the top-ish part of the falls where the “tribe” people were. They weren’t really tribe. Just locals, but I felt the energy and vibe that they had and connection to nature that WE ALL LACK.
They left when we got there.
It was beautiful. The scenery and everything. The flowers. The openness.
This is where I just sat and reflected. I actually teared up a bit.
I wish I recorded my thoughts and what I said. I’ll try to recollect.
I realized as a first-world country/citizen we keep searching for answers. We’re so disconnected from nature. I felt like the psilocybin made me a plant in a sense. It made me realize that we are all connected. We feed, reproduce, etc etc.
I started thinking about openness, which is what I was searching for trying to survive. We were down at the bottom of the falls, a little open, but a little enclosed. I wanted to get to the top. Be open, free, safe, more..
my friends looked like they never seen nature before. when we got to the top they just went in the water and laid there. I felt like a tribe leader and leading them back to our roots as a species.
Pure bliss. I started thinking about openness and how we all need to see this beautiful place and take care of our earth. We need to share and be at peace with one another. Our problems are so small. We’re so boxed in.
Then I started thinking about how centralization is FUCKED. Government control, police, money, our phones and narcissistic mfs. We humans keep searching and think we know so much. Searching for closure, a sense of safety. What if the safety is to be free?
Music was playing and realized that 808s and drums and shit are so big in hip hop because we gravitate to that shit naturally. How did our ancestors “make music” or sounds? Drumming and shit. Oscillating sounds are peaceful cause we have a deep connection to it
I started thinking about rappers. Why do we rap and think its the greatest shit? Because FREE FLOW and OPENNESS.
We are just like plants and need to soak in whatever we can get. Just make its right. Keep things simple.
Minimalism
Why are modern houses so minimal nowadays? Simplicity. We are realizing the best things in life are free. We don’t need much. Everything we have is around us and we need to appreciate it all.
Thank you @CryptoAnx on Twitter for your Psilocybin Story!!
…So I clearly picked the stick up. Magic. It really did feel surreal. I later showed my friends who, at the time, we were all a little separated, walking around in our own worlds…but the same world.
^Another realization — The truth of Paradox.
I saw both sides of many coins, and realized that they were all true. Like just above, we’re all in the same world, but also, we all operate individually within ourselves, our brains, mind, or whatever. Heart too.
Another Paradox — That we are all connected and that we’re all separate. Similar to above. We’re all living individual lives, but beyond who we think we are(which might be ego?), is who we actually are — which is one entity. I’ll relate this one to living in the state you had as a child. There was a time in our lives, when we were really young, that we didn’t separate ourselves from anything. It could have been from our lack of knowledge/education….but it could have been that that is who we are in our purest form? We don’t fear anything. We don’t fear death because we don’t think about it. We’re truly living in the moment, thoughtless, and isn’t that what so many people try to do, or have always been trying to do? — reach that state of bliss, of no thoughts. We see people turn to drugs, alcohol, food, anything to try and get away from “ourselves”(who we think we are), and yes, psilocybin is considered a drug, but there are things that are legal, like Cigarettes, that are wayyyy worse for our health(not judging as I dabble sometimes, just comparing).
There are many reasons Psilocybin is illegal while there are numerous lethal things that are legal. We are on our way though, making progress, more people are opening up to it, and this is actually one of the good trends to follow
This comes from my experience though, so it may not be for everyone, but I believe in psilocybin’s benefits. It’s more than great seeing research and studies being done in this area, and I look forward to all that is to come from it 🙂
This was a short excerpt from My First Real Trip.
