First of all, I am not promoting the use of legal or illegal substances. You are risking your health as well as the health of others. This is strictly for harm reduction.

I got into it, like you would expect it. A friend of friend of mine told us about his story about his first time taking Magic Mushrooms. I was shocked and interested at the same time. My entire life they told us that drugs are a bad thing and I never thought, that I will get into stuff like that, but i was not able to get his story out of my mind. So I thought that it would not hurty anybody, if I would inform myself about drugs one more time. After hours of reading trip reports and scientific papers my mind was blown how badly I was tought about drugs and their harm in school. But the one situation that leaded me really into psycedelics was at a evening in a small group of 4, where we drunk some nice whiskey, played cards and celebrated the 19th birthday of our friend "Judas". Long story short, Judas got some Mushrooms as a delayed birthday gift from my friend "Henry". One leads to the other, so we decided to take some Mushrooms together the next week.

The Intake:

It was late January and the day finaly had come. We planned to drive as early as possible out into the nature to eat the mushrooms. That did not went as planned, because we had to wait for Henry, who got into trouble that day and was the trip sitter. 3 hours later we finaly met at the main train station of our city. Henry was the only one who knew the location we were heading to. We decided to take the mushrooms right at the train station, because we did not really know, how long the effects will last. So I secretly put my gramm of mushrooms of the strain "Albino Penis Envy" onto my cheeseburger I bought earlier and ate it in mid public. (Yes it could have went very bad, but at no point we had that in our minds)

The Comeup:

After like 20 minutes we arrived at out destination. A village with a lot of nature arround, but the train station was right in the middle of that village and we had to walk a bit into the nature. Henry decided, that we will go to a lake, where he was and tripped before. After 20 to 30 minutes of walking, because we were walking in the wrong direction (Thanks Henry) we were in some outer parts of the village. We were on a small path between two field when I could feel the first effects to come up. 

The Trip:

The huge trees that grew there looked amazing. I saw more details of everything, the colors were more colorfull and intense. Everybit of the nature looked more aesthetically than before. Everything looked so new to me as I saw these things for the first time in my life. Judas and my other friend "Jan" made some fun of me at that time, because I was a step ahead of them. 5 Minutes later we walked into a forest, because Henry leaded us in the wrong direction again. One time I was so fascinated of a plant that grew up a tree, that I called my friends, so they could see it too. This was the time, when I realized, that Judas is on the path to the other side too. We headed back out of the forest and finaly found the lake. Because it was late Junuary there where no leafes on the trees and it was pretty cold, but Judas and me were fascinated by the lake and the light it reflected. The water was only about 100 Meters away from us and we walked upto it very happily. With every step the light became more intense and the view became more and more amazing. But then Henry happened. He said that we should sit down a bit away from the public path. So he leaded us onto some dark path. This was the first time were we could not stop laughing. The difference between that shiny, bright and happy lake to this dirty ass dark path felt extremely funny. After a short laughing break, Henry and Jan went ahead and Judas and me followed them. We felt that Jan was not where we were. We felt like we were in our own bubble of interpersonal relationship. I can't describe that feeling of connectivity between us... After a few minutes we took a break of this long walk. My legs felt like they never stopped walking in my entire life before. It felt like I was standing still for the first time of my life. At this time i felt that there are body effects coming up. I could not let Judas walk behind me anymore, because it felt like he was pulling my bagpack. My vision begun to pulsate a little bit... Finally we found a nice spot where we sat down for a while. It felt like we were at this spot before, like we met us there hundrets of times before. A feeling so familiar and nice that it could never end. I recognized that faces looked way different than before but also very familiar. Surprisingly I relized that I never felt cold at anytime and we were out there in the cold for a few hours by now (Something between 1° to 5°C). It was like the mushrooms splitted me from my body and all the things from earth to be in a state of open mindness, just like a little child that was never tought the values of a society... We started our jouney back home (So it is Henrys turn again). What started in laughing ended in a state of philosophy. A state where I started asking myself why things are like they are. A state where everything had a mental value but nothing a logical sense. At this time Jan started to discover the world like we did in the beginning of the trip. I was a bit mad at him for that, because he disturbed my state of thoughtful being a couple of times... I can tell the end of the trip pretty clearly. As we were waiting for the train back home, I knew that it was over, but the entire evening I had a feeling of spiritual wisdome.

I hope you like my little story and I would like you read yours
