What a strange thing to legalize. I don’t know if I would have voted yes on that. I just don’t see the point.
My experience taking shrooms:
It’s my 21st birthday. Me and some homies went to a casino for the weekend. One homie says he brought shrooms but prob not enough to get us all high, so I should be the one to take them because it’s my birthday.
I eat like 3 caps or whatever you call them, When we got to our room. Then I don’t even think about it, we just go and sign up for a Texas hold-em tournament. I’m doing good. Started out 2 tables and I made it to the last table. This took about 45 mins to an hour. Some old *** lady kept stealing my blinds so I put her all in when I get pocket aces . She calls with 3-8 suited. Garbage hand. Ends up getting a flush on the river.
Anyways I’m pissed I got knocked out and I had been pissed at this lady for a while, I never knew that the shrooms had probably been kicking in for a while. I tell my Bros I’m gonna go back to the room to drink some of the booze we brought. As I stand up from the table, I start noticing all the slot machine noises are REALLY sounding strange now that I’m paying attention. I start walking to the elevator and the noises are getting out of hand. Like some Weird loopy carnival music type noises. Then I start getting these like tickling shivers all through my body that make me start laughing uncontrollably. Then I realized I had taken those shrooms and they are without a doubt kicking in.
I can’t stop laughing as I’m trying to get to the elevator. Every noise I hear, I start to VISUALLY see. Like waves in the air all different colors. Someone hit a jackpot on a slot machine and all the noises came at me but I could see them like waves in the ocean. Had to sit down on a bench to muster up the strength to get outta public eye before I start acting a fool.
Then all these crazy thoughts start running through my head non-stop. I had all these brilliant ideas. The answers to all my physics homework. How to defeat Duke’s full court press. Just random brilliant stuff. I somehow make it to the elevator, and then my room. Then the rest of the 10 hours I spent staring at the roof in my room trying to come up with answers to everything in life. It wouldn’t stop. The tickling waves going through my body also lasted like 6 hours so I was laughing like all night.
I tried to chug the makers mark bottle we brought because I though maybe I could just get drunk and get rid of these hallucinations. I drank almost the entire 5th like it was water and I didn’t puke or feel drunk or anything. Craziest experience in my entire life. It was fun. I would do it again. But no way in hell I could do it more than 1 time a year.
Scary thing is, it changed my mind drastically. The way thoughts moved through my head that night is the permanent way I think about things now. I don’t know if the chemical makeup crossed up some wires or opened up some unused part of my brain but it changed me 100%. Kinda scary. Man
