Introduction


This account recounts an unforgettable experience that occurred just days after my 18th birthday. Having a longstanding interest in drugs and psychedelics, I was eager to explore the realms of Psilocybin mushrooms and DMT. Despite my excitement, I harbored some anxiety about trying mushrooms due to the negative experiences shared by friends who had previously attempted them. Nevertheless, I considered myself an open-minded individual when it came to experimenting with substances.


Prior to this journey, my psychedelic experiences were limited to LSD, MDMA, and a few other substances. I had taken LSD multiple times, with doses ranging from approximately 50 μg to 500 μg, and MDMA in doses between 220 mg and 280 mg. While MDMA is not particularly psychedelic, I believe it provides context for my overall experience with drugs. Additionally, I had tried 25i at an unknown dosage, which was reported to be around 700 μg, and participated in candyflipping.


Importantly, I had never encountered any truly spiritual or life-altering revelations during my psychedelic trips. My experiences were more about entertainment and exploration than profound self-discovery. I did not consider myself a spiritual person, and any insights I gained from these experiences were often dismissed as mere hallucinations. I also had never experienced a bad trip, likely due to my ability to quickly redirect my thoughts and avoid dwelling on negative emotions.


Preparation


Acquiring the Psilocybin Mushrooms


To prepare for my adventure, I reached out to a friend who was known for selling high-quality mushrooms. He agreed to provide me with approximately an eighth of an ounce, assuring me that these particular mushrooms were potent. I felt that it was time to confront my apprehensions about having a bad trip and embraced the opportunity to try Psilocybin. Alongside this, I asked the same friend if he had any DMT available for sale. To my delight, he did, and I purchased 500 mg of a golden-yellow powder.


Preparing the DMT


Upon returning home, I placed both the DMT and the mushrooms in a secure, dark location while I spent the next few days researching how to properly smoke the DMT. Living with a parent, I wanted to avoid raising suspicion by using a meth pipe, so I sought alternatives. Eventually, I discovered an article detailing a method involving a vape device.


I owned a Fuchai 200W TC Vape with an Aries Cleito Tank and decided to use the e-juice method. I took 2 ml of e-juice containing 3 mg of nicotine and mixed it with the entire 500 mg of DMT powder. After letting the mixture sit for about an hour to ensure thorough blending, I adjusted the vape mod to a setting of 30 to 35 watts.


The Experience


Starting with Psilocybin Mushrooms


On the night of the experience, I opted to begin my journey with the Psilocybin mushrooms. As a preliminary step, I took a small piece of the mushroom cap to taste. The flavor was utterly repulsive, causing me to gag as I swallowed it. Undeterred, I weighed out 2.5 grams of the mushrooms and shredded them into small pieces in a bowl. My plan was to consume the powdered mushrooms quickly, following it up with a generous gulp of water to mask the taste.


DMT Journey


After the initial dose of Psilocybin began to take effect, I prepared to venture into the realm of DMT. The experience was marked by intense visuals and a feeling of disconnect from reality, allowing me to explore the depths of my consciousness in a way I had never imagined.


Reflections on the Experience


Looking back on this significant night, I realized that my journey into the world of psychedelics was a unique blend of excitement and apprehension. The combination of Psilocybin and DMT opened doors to experiences that were both exhilarating and enlightening, solidifying my interest in further exploring the vast landscape of psychedelics. While I may not have had spiritual revelations, the experience remains one that I cherish and reflect upon with great intrigue.
