Ever eaten (or drank, in my case) too many mushrooms (tea) . . .
and seen evil figures behind the faces on your TV?

Happened a while back, but it still creeps me out to think about it.

Maybe its just me.

1. With mushrooms, there's a fine line between hysteria and delirium

13. A buddy tells a story about that...
When the 'light-show' began someone in the audience said loudly, "Shit, man! I peaked a half-hour ago!" The whole audience erupted into laughter.

26. Did it make any sense on acid?
Because it didn't make any sober :(

Then there's the movie version of "Tommy". What the HELL were they tripping on to make THAT??

4. I've had mostly positive mushroom experiences...
usually like an intense peace, especially if I am with good people.

I had a horrifying trip once when I ate 3 tabs of acid & watched Fantasia: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" -- please kids, don't try this at home...

5. I just became really anxious

and felt like I had a thousand thoughts in my head at first...

Once I calmed down, it was pretty neat, but I don't think i'd ever do it again...

18. My philosophy
You haven't taken enough shrooms until you've been through a ritual mumification by Egyptian gods...but that's just me.

(I used to have a roomie that would just throw ounces of shrooms at me to take.)

11. Well, it was 30 years ago, but I saw helicopters surrounding the dorm...
I went and hid in a bathroom stall in another part of the dorm because I thought they were after me. I have no idea how long I stayed there, but when I came out, they were gone.

Years later I learned that there really had been helicopters in the neighborhood that night-there had been a major drug bust.

14. One gentle, happy evening on 'shrooms
Went to an outdoor film screening, then tried to catch a bus home, but couldn't, because the thought of the bus gave us all an uncontrollable fit of the giggles.

16. lots of giggling and an inability to stop grinning
been over a decade since I've done them. Saw The Breeders/Shonen Knife/Nirvana (last U.S. tour)......fought off the urge to belch for fear of ralphing and traumatized myself by looking at my reflection in the bathroom mirror.

17. In high school, must have been 30 years ago
Shrooms all day, I came home and lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. I seemed to be made out of clear plastic, My arms were at my sides and a green fluid was pouring uphill through my fingertips (where they touched the bed) up through my arms and then spilling into my body at the shoulders. I watched this process of my body filling with this green fluid for a while, then realized that my point of view was from somewhere up near the ceiling. Waaayyy cool.

20. from my limited experience
Edited on Sat Jul-24-04 11:30 PM by tigereye
the trick is to avoid pretty much anything man-made and stay in the woods or near water. :) Anything man-made seemed pretty scary as I recall, esp cars and TV. ( tells you something, no?)

19. What makes a kid saw his head off!?
Happened in my town.

Nearly a year ago a nice kid was given some mushrooms and ended up wandering into a neighbor's wood shop where he ran his neck through a band saw. Horrible experience for the city and all involved from the EMTs, the neighborhood and beyond.

21. Sorry I don't believe the bandsaw story
Is that like when we did acid we were supposed to want to fly out windows and turn into oranges and have flashbacks?...Bullshit...I have done piles of shrooms (Batwings) and never once had a bad experience except for the problem with my jaw in the morning was so sore from laughing at everything all night. And I have been waiting for years for a flashback!

2c-c several times. found myself, on the last occasion, staring into my barthroom mirror for hours, loathing my reflexion in the glass. my face was a deep red & black mask, & i felt i cd see all the horrid depravity buried in my soul.

2c-c is rather mild and pleasant for most folks.

hallucinagens, other than pot, aren't for me. never again.

.4 millies of special K, right now. care for a taste?
