My bf and I decided to do a double trip day while my house was empty, and because I got to experience two different types of trips back-to-back I wanted to describe the differences I noticed in the two.

1:00 – Me and the bf made a pallet of blankets, pillows, and all comfy things we could find on my living room floor for us to trip on. This was what we did in the past and it was a perfect set up. Then we went to the store to buy a bag of those delicious little Clementine oranges and some blackberries. The blackberries ended up being good for snacking as well, more on that later.

1:30 - Me and the bf placed two tabs of LSD on our tongues and took a shower so we would be clean and fresh for our trip and also so I could remove all my makeup (definitely suggest this for anyone who wears makeup). I kept the tabs on my tongue/in my mouth for basically the whole shower but my bf chewed and swallowed his after about five minutes because he couldn’t take the bitterness .

1:45 – Bf and I sit down to play the PS3 game Eden (very nice game), which I was enjoying but the bf was starting to feel uneasy with, so he stopped playing and started making his way to the tripping pallet and I kept playing for just a few minutes. The LSD itself is pretty bitter and can make your tongue numb, which was part of the reason for getting the fruit beforehand. The blackberries were perfect to start with because they have a little bit of bitterness to them while still being sweet and then the oranges were so flavorful and refreshing while not being very filling, we ate the entire bag by the end of the day.

2:00 – Both of us are now lying on the floor on our pallet and are starting to trip pretty hard. I feel a lot of euphoria about everything. My mind starts becoming very active and because of that it was like I was leaving my body behind in some ways, like it wasn’t really necessary for the trip at all. I re-lived some of my happiest moments from the last few years like my birthday spent in Guatemala and my trip to Africa when I got to go bungee jumping. These visions were most vivid when I closed my eyes and just relaxed on the floor, and I could feel almost everything I felt during those experiences. Like I felt the adrenaline all over again from the bungee jumping experience that was many months ago.

Besides seeing these things I saw a lot of random images and short clips of memories. Even when I would start thinking of something like looking for a job or the death of someone close to me I was still in a very positive frame of mind and could see the best in every situation and could understand the situations so much more clearly. Something that I think may have influenced my trip was a realization I came across in the weeks leading up to the trip that most of my friends are all Hispanic and that I am naturally very drawn to the Hispanic culture. I say this because many times during my trip I would find myself in a Hispanic-themed place like a refried bean factory (what?), or at a fiesta with mariachi players, or overhearing a conversation in Spanish that I somehow understood even though I can’t speak it or understand it normally. Time was not on my mind at all and I didn’t even look until we started to really come down, so I didn’t know when exactly each of my visions and hallucinations happened. The bf and I found it really nice to hold hands while tripping to let each other know we are there for support, and to acknowledge that we are each having our own special trip that couldn’t possibly be completely explained to anyone. I would say I would be comfortable being physically close to my other best friends I know well because that is how the LSD made me feel in general, not just because he is my boyfriend.

Another note on this experience, and the previous time we did LSD, is that we got SUPER hungry. And it wasn’t even that we felt very hungry, it was more like everything sounded SO GOOD. Example: I shared my refried bean factory moment out loud with the bf and he replied with “mmm, chips and salsa” which I replied “oooh, guacamole”, and so on until we had to stop ourselves from going crazy over Mexican food.

4:30 – We are both still tripping but much more mildly and decide that we still want to do shrooms after and order mushroom pizzas to ingest them on. We go pick up the pizzas while still buzzing a little bit, but everything was very happy and calm still and I had no paranoia about being in public whatsoever.

5:30 – After having a couple pizza slices we grind up 2.5 grams of shrooms for each of us and eat it with one of the pizza slices. I’ve had it in tea before, which was about the same level of trip as I got from eating it, but one other time I had a whole eighth of shrooms and took them in lemon juice to start extracting the psilocybin before ingesting, and that trip I tripped some serious balls. Like more than I ever have any other time in my life.

5:45 – The bf and I grab some oranges, my headlamp, and a bottle of water and head out for a walk to my neighborhood park. Many people were out because it was a Sunday night and a lot of people were coming home from the weekend, so that made me slightly uneasy knowing I may have to interact with my neighbors, but otherwise I did not feel paranoid to be outside. It was a lovely evening and ended up being perfect to start our second trip.

6:15 – We are sitting beneath some power lines at the back of the park when we notice the trip beginning. First it was apparent to us that even though the sun was going down, it seemed to be getting oddly brighter in the park (there were no street lights and the moon was only half-full). Then we noticed that we seemed to be able to SEE the power lines vibrating. It was like we could see the energy field right around each wire. I also noticed that if I looked at the sky, even with all the light pollution, I could very vaguely see most of the stars I usually couldn’t see. Granted, both of these are likely hallucinations but they seemed very real and both my bf and I saw the same things. We then take a walk through this very dark, wooded area and it felt so magical that we walked back through it three more times. I felt like I was attached to every tree, shrub, stick, leaf, etc by a tiny, tiny string and that as I passed the string did not break but instead became infinitely thin. It was kind of like string theory, except I saw/felt it happening. I felt very connected to the woods and nature and felt very safe there as well, even though it was very dark. Turning on my headlamp seemed like a disservice to the nature around me in its natural sleeping state, so I never ended up turning it on.

6:45 – We head back to my house to finish out the trip. My cat was the best part of this trip I would say. She was absolutely majestic and beautiful to us and we couldn’t keep our eyes off of her. When she would let us pet her for a while we were in heaven. She seemed to know something was up but was very calm around us nonetheless. In my experience, having an animal around for a shrooms trip is a really good idea because it is more of an open-eye, full-body experience and if I don’t have something positive to focus on, it could lead to having a bad trip. At least that’s what I was thinking when I was sitting there marveling over this beautiful creature that lives in my home with me. I had some serious moments of clarity and wonder while on shrooms, but unlike LSD, it was all with my eyes open, looking at things. For instance, I was checking out the ceiling for a while when I noticed how the air vent messes up the continuity of the ceiling from wall to wall, but how it is necessary for the air conditioning to work properly. This idea I then applied to five or six other random, unrelated situations in my head very rapidly like how a fancy party has to have trash cans and a cleanup crew to work properly, even though they are physically undesirable to the party atmosphere. The other situations I honestly couldn’t remember after the fact, but at the time it was all so clear and was epiphany-like.

7:45 – Towards the end of us tripping we headed to my bedroom because we figured my roommates would be coming home soon. My bed was absolutely heavenly and put both of us into a lucid-dream like state. We were very relaxed but not necessarily falling asleep just yet. We decided to hug because it sounded like a good idea and because we had really only come into contact when we held hands during the first trip. That was the best damn hug I ever had. (Anyone catch that song reference?) It felt like the bf’s hand was covering half of my back at once and was really warm, and the feeling of being hugged by another human was just so euphoric. It was like I could feel any stress I had left being released out of my body and the oxytocin was pumping.

8:15 – We have a bowl of weed out of my pipe to finish out the evening, at about 5 big hits each. This actually brought back the shrooms feeling some and mellowed us out even more. I have smoked while on shrooms before and while it was physically awkward to do in that state, it had a very nice, synergistic feel to it. We decided to wait until the end though to give the shrooms a full chance to run their course. It was a really nice ending to the trip day and after we still had energy to play some video games for a couple of hours.

Post-trip - The next day I felt off, groggy, and sleepy all day. I had a headache most of the day. These effects I have experienced every time I’ve had shrooms but never on LSD. I always feel like a freaking champ the day after LSD. For the rest of the week I had more vivid dreams and felt just a bit happier in general. I also felt like I had connected on a deeper level with the bf and it was a lasting feeling for sure.

TL;DR - Overall this was a very eventful, enjoyable day but next time I will stick to just one or the other when I go to trip. LSD wins out in my opinion because it is easier/more enjoyable to take, it is more guaranteed to give me a happy/euphoric trip, and because I don’t get a nasty hangover the next day. Shrooms is more open-eye based and I saw more colors and open-eye hallucinations. LSD is more closed-eye based and I was in more of a lucid dream-like state where I could think of what I wanted to at times and could control my trip more IF I wanted to.
