subjects:

 3x 70kgish males


1x 70kg grrrrl
  
All experienced psychonauts

 dose-- 5gms  each;

 air dried Psilocybe subaeruginosa dried weight eq to 25gms wet weight --freshly collected last week

 10mg  diazepam at about +30mins for other 2 guys+maybe 1mg xanax(not sure)
 
 Now this has been done before, many times in the past, but this has to ranked in the top 3 trips I've ever had

    At one point I was fascinated,, listening to my "mind arguing internally with itself-like watchin a computer workin as many parameters were set,,before "the most logical side won, or something!" .........and I felt like a third party watching!!!

 Most particularly due to the setting Great friends, NO Stress-a very comfy house with a n equally comfy backyard, and Everything needed, including the diazepam which proved very valuable to all

 I have included an extract from erowid which pretty much explains what was experienced "by all" participating as it is Much less work for me--

    I got Seriously Defragged yesterday, and am still 'a bit of of a stranger' outside w "other people" who havent been there

  again,, I cannot, without writing a short,30 page story, "describe adequately" these events,, except to say, aside from a bit of nausea, It was fuckin GREAT +4  ;D

[...] The essential shape of the graph is all I want to get across here, since the actual dosage varies from person to person sometimes by a factor of two.

[ Notes:

The dosage figures given above apply only to the obscure Australian mushroom Psilocybe subaeruginosa, so ignore them; the basic idea of the scale works well enough for any psychedelic. As for individual response, an acquaintance of mine has a threshold 3 times weaker than usual, ie. 1g for her == 3g for most people. ]

Level 1:
    This level produces a mild 'stoning' effect, with some visual enhancement (ie. brighter colours etc) Some short term memory anomalies. Left/right brain communication changes causing music to sound 'wider'
Level 2:
    Bright colours, and visuals (ie. things start to move and breath) some 2 dimensional patterns become apparent upon shutting eyes. Confused or reminiscent thoughts. Change of short term memory leads to continual distractive thought patterns. Vast increase in creativity becomes apparent as the natural brain filter is bypassed. (*)
Level 3:
    Very obvious visuals, everything looking curved and/or warped patterns and kaleidoscopes seen on walls, faces etc. Some mild hallucinations such as rivers flowing in wood grained or 'mother of pearl' surfaces. Closed eye hallucinations become 3 dimensional. There is some confusing of the senses (ie. seeing sounds as colours etc.) Time distortions and `moments of eternity`. Movement at times becomes extremely difficult (too much effort required)
Level 4:
    Strong hallucinations, ie objects morphing into other objects. Destruction or multiple splitting of the ego. (Things start talking to you, or you find that you are feeling contradictory things simultaneously) Some loss of reality. Time becomes meaningless. Out of body experiences and esp type phenomena. Blending of the senses.
Level 5:
    Total loss of visual connection with reality. The senses cease to function in the normal way. Total loss of ego. Merging with space, other objects or the universe. The loss of reality becomes so severe that it defies explanation. The earlier levels are relatively easy to explain in terms of measureable changes in perception and thought patterns. This level is different in that the actual universe within which things are normally perceived, ceases to exist! Satori enlightenment (and other such labels) (**).

Notes to the above:

* In order for the human entity to survive, it must learn from an early age how to shut out (or filter) the masses of information reaching the brain. This process of selective filtering allows us to become centred on a single thought. (Imagine being completely aware of all the signals coming into your body at the one moment, imagine being aware of every square inch of your skin and how it felt. Imagine being eternally aware of your tounge in your mouth, that itch on the end of your nose or the sound of the air conditioning hissing softly in the background. I believe that tripping brings back those awareness that have been shut out ever since we were three.

 0 hour
    --as always, when i put some drugs "in my body Orally I can 'feeel their effects within minutes--those subtle signals your brain knows means "here we go!!!" mdma does this, and so do mushies--in fact I "dry retch' at the taste of shrooms--the fisrt time ihad them raw. about 15 and my body knows VERY WELL whats about to start happening if it gets a taste ever since---but thats anoher story--

  Ok its 11am we've had a smoke, I chugalug down the powder with about 50ml of H2O--we all have some difficultly "getting, and holding it down" except the Grrrrl who put it in spoonfuls on her tongue Dry, then washing it down
  I felt it within 5 mins and went outside to have a cigarette,,within 20 more minute I was at a level 2 which went to 4 in the 2nd hour and stayed there for about 60mins
slowly returning, feeling quite tired but I had just laughed for abou two hours--And I mean Laughed--hysterically,,while having a great bonding experience with my friends
  It was a great day
  Btw the whole trip was back to baseline within 5-6hrs --  but I cant type properly today
