Normally, with standard-strength psy-cubensis I would expect 3.5 grams, or an eighth, to be a fairly strong 5-6 hour long experience replete with open-eye visuals, generally beyond simple patterns and visual distortions, as in full-on hallucinations. This would normally happen during the peak, in the right set/setting, with moderately dim lighting, and possibly after smoking cannabis.
The colors are one of the things I always really noticed about shrooms. The background patterns/visual distortions were always on the more vibrant/wilder side, and it seemed really heavy on the pronunciation of the elementary colors. Lines wobbling was always one of the first visual tells during a come-up on shrooms. Faces appear on surfaces/objects, as in you're looking at the swirling grass and suddenly you see a face in it somewhere, like the face of a statue that's made of grass.
I see the mention of time-dilation. That was always another thing I got pretty strongly from shrooms, sometimes even on smaller doses, if I was in the right mindset. It was definitely more mental/spiritual, like you mentioned, introspective and a journey. I'll say that about my experiences, and also about basically everything I've heard from other people, too. I've often compared it to dreaming while awake. When you fall into the right moments during the peak, you begin to go into yourself, into these heavy, deep thoughts where you lose yourself, beginning to hallucinate with your eyes open, even. During my first strong experience with shrooms I legitimately hallucinated my memories playing out in front of me in 3-D space, watching from the 3rd person, and as far as I'm aware my eyes were open the whole time, albeit while sitting in a darker room.
Another cool thing I experienced during that same trip was watching live concert performances on TV and completely and wholly feeling as though I were sitting there in the crowd with the other people that I was seeing. I mean, I swear I was sitting in that crowd watching that band play music, with those blue and purple colored overhead lights. It was magical. By that point I was sold. Shrooms were absolutely insane. Also, were my first psychedelic, so I consider it a good introduction for someone like me. |
