It’s hard for me to put into words what a trip is, other than the basic; an altered state of consciousness. Really I just think It’s a pretty fun way to spend an afternoon. I have loved mushrooms since my dad first gave me a handful outside of a concert during the summer of 2014. My first experience was actually hell because I was alone and didn’t know what to expect. I think I was also drunk and coming down from another mystery drug so that definitely affected things. it also gave me some pretty terrible poops. My first enjoyable trip was hilarious though. I remember feeling like I had the coolest friends in the world. My mind painted everyone with a sort of lavender mood lighting which was very flattering for even my ugliest friends (and before you think I’m shallow I could be talking about their insides ok). Everyone was a comedian to me and I didn’t have a care in the world! One trip I had I think I “saw my aura” but I think I was also trying really hard to be “enlightened” (it was green in case you were wondering). Also, I don’t know if everyone has this side effect from shrooms but I can orgasm suspiciously easily when I’m tripping. I’m not gonna question it though, hehe. I think some people can use mushrooms as a way to heal parts of themselves. Either literal broken bones or a broken heart. It’s all about intention. I think there’s a million ways to connect to God and ground yourself and there’s also a million ways to have fun. Mushrooms to me are an easy way to do both. Ultimately a trip is what you make it.
