BODY WEIGHT:

Prior drug usage: Daily marijuana smoker but not too extensive of a list beyond that. I’ve tried blue lotus, penis envy magic mushies, amanita muscaria, damiana, and that’s about it.

Dosage: 2.5 grams initially and 5 grams 2 hours later. <1 gram Marijuana THC-O cartridge

Set + Setting: In my home - where I feel generally comfortable and at-ease. Prior to consumption I had the intent of having a good trip, nothing major or groundbreaking.

Preparation: 2.5 + 5 grams of amanita pantherina sourced from a very reputable online vendor. Chopped up and popped orally with a wash of juice. Definitely made it more palatable than plain. No food prior to consumption. One cup of coffee early in the morning.

T-0:00: It was around 4 pm that I decided to take my first dose. I had experimented days prior with 2-3 gram doses but never got much further than a slight head change and buzz. So I decided to start with 2.5 grams, which I weighed out on my digital scale. I then chopped them into small bits and popped right into my mouth with a quick wash of juice. I’ve grown accustomed to the taste but it still makes me gag now and then. Definitely much better with the juice.

T-1:00: Began to feel very different. Hard to describe it as a high or drunk feeling because I don’t feel it really captures the sensation. I began feeling vibrations of energy or warmth. Slight nausea in my stomach makes me want to go lay down for a bit.

T-1:30: While laying down I start to feel that head change I was talking about prior. That plus the waves of warmth rushing over me cause me to feel extremely euphoric. I decide I wanted to do something physical so I stand up and that’s when it really begins to hit me. I feel inebriated like I had done a few shots of vodka. Not falling over or anything, but I need to concentrate more on the things in front of me. I was still cognizant of my surroundings/ current state.

T-2:00: By this point I’m thinking that I’ve reached the peak, but it was a little underwhelming. So I decided to up the ante and pop 5 more grams. I weighed it out, chopped it up, and popped it with juice - just like before. By this point I’m thinking, “Well shit, maybe I just made a mistake.” - recalling information regarding the potency of this variety of amanita. No going back now. As I still have control over my faculties by this point, I decide to roll a cigarette.

T-2:30: Rolling the cigarette turned out to be a chore. My hands started shaking halfway through rolling and I began to shift in and out of consciousness. Looks like the first dose is finally kicking in. One second I’m rolling, the next second I’m shaking myself awake to get back to rolling. What should have taken no more than a minute took me probably 20 minutes to do. After finally completing the task, I went over to my chair and had a seat. Sparked up my cigarette, and began to have the most introspective trip of my entire life.

T-3:00 until ~5:00: In between bouts of attempting to maintain consciousness, I would come to formulate profound thoughts and visual patterns in my mind. Correlating things from my life - to the broad expanse of the universe and existence in general. The feeling was intensely strange, like I was watching a stage play of my own life interwoven with the feelings of the universe. I would get a feeling of something, say for example sadness. Then my mind would begin to unravel images from my subconscious that seemed to produce that feeling for me. It were as though I was taking a third-person seat to view my own psyche. This went on for quite a while.

To the naked eye I bet I seemed like a mad man. I remember thinking I’ve been in this entranced state for an alarmingly long time. At some point I snapped out of the trance and decided I wanted to smoke a little bit of weed. But I was still doing that bit where I would drop in and out of consciousness. I grabbed my lighter from the table then dropped it, then grabbed it from the ground and dropped it. I repeated this pattern maybe 10 times and that’s when I realized I was really tripping. After finally getting a grasp on my lighter, I went for my bong. Grabbed the bong aaaand… I drop in and out of consciousness… to the sound of glass shattering. I look down and there’s shattered bong everywhere. RIP bong. Anyways, I cleaned it all up and decided to hit my Delta-8 cart instead. I thought that it would calm my trip down but it only seemed to elevate it even further.

T-6:00: By this point I’m definitely peaking. The phasing in and out bit has now increased ten-fold. To the point I decide to just sit and keep my eyes closed in order to counteract it. Time becomes completely dilated for me. I began having waking visions. Not like I can close my eyes and see something, but rather, I would open my eyes and my mind would be in a whole new place. The surroundings were still the environment I remain in, but my subconscious seems to be filling in the space between what I’m trying to perceive and what is actually observed. For example, I’m just staring at my room, with a monitor mounted on the wall, a bookcase underneath it. I’m looking at these things and I’m seeing them. But my mind is in Wonderland following Alice down a rabbit hole in the corner of the room. Best way I could describe it.

Another example of it was when I went to roll another cigarette. I was 100% sure that I finished rolling it, moved it from one hand to another. Only to find out there was never a cigarette in my hand. Thinking I left it at the table I was rolling at, I check over there to find it’s not there either. Truth be told I never even rolled that cigarette - I just thought that I did. This left me stumped for like 10 minutes, thinking I just found a glitch in reality or something. After that, I was in a stupefied state for an ungodly amount of time in between coming to and then subsequently falling back into said stupefied state. I don’t know how long this went on for but it felt like an eternity.

T-7:00 - ?:??: Eventually I snapped out of it and started to feel somewhat normal. I don’t know when it happened but suddenly I was capable of rational thinking again. From that point up until I went to bed I just marveled at the wild ride I had just taken. Cost me a bong and probably a bit of my sanity, sure. But to me, it was worth it. Never has sitting in a chair for 6 hours ever been as mindblowing as that, hahaha.

The following day. I did not expect to have such a long trip having consumed so little. Definitely taught me to treat Panthers with the respect they deserve. Glad that I went into this with positive intentions as it surely contributed to the outcome of my trip.
