This is my experience with psilocybe mexicana. I've tried it at three different dosages and the effects were drastically different and had nothing in common.
Experience №1 with two stems:
Within 20 minutes I felt more relaxed and I was experiencing consciousness expansion. It was as if the area around and above my head had expanded and I had gained access to a new dimension of hyperspace. A great feeling of calm and clarity, however still lacking and disappointing as at the time I was eager to throw down.
Experience №2 with 5 stems and 2 caps of the same batch occurred some two weeks later. Considering the size of the previous dose I consider my tolerance to have been insignificant:
We were about to set out and travel on the highway for a while so together with a friend of mine we decided to make the trip more interesting and ate about 5 stems and 2 caps each, without letting the others in on this, so it was a secret.
T+00:30
Something is beginning to stir up. A little bit of confusion and anxiety.
T+00:50
A weird feeling of being almost ecstatic is developing. As if there is a little child inside me laughing and I'm trying to contain it. There is a slight tone of something otherworldly.
T+01:00
As I am looking out the window there are views of great forests, mountains, clouds and landscapes. It is sunny and there are also dense clouds which are shining in the sun. It comes to my attention that all the colours are extremely saturated and have exceptionally high definition, everything is extremely beautiful and the shining clouds are absolutely mesmerizing, everything feels magical. I am extremely ecstatic and emotional about how beautiful everything is and I feel very overwhelmed, however the feeling is very natural and personal (unlike LSD and 2c-b), and flowing very consistently and straightforward, oscillating towards uncertainty and anxiety ever so slightly. I try to say how beautiful the view is, but I find out that I can't and it's like I'm being blocked. I mumble something and just let it slide.
T+01:10
Suddenly it is as if a screech has become apparent. As if I synaesthetically heard the feeling of a screech, which reminded me of the sky being torn apart (think the sound of a microphone being adjusted), I could feel the sound all throughout the atmosphere. Along with the screech a weird voice consisting of my own thoughts (or something) started saying a bunch of random gibberish, consisting of words made up of randomly connected syllables. I can feel an otherworldly presence, as if I am being possessed, or rather this thing is making an incantation and trying to make me possessed. I am not ecstatic and do not find everything around me beautiful at this point, rather I am very surprised and impressed by the audio hallucinations and am petrified in amazement and slightly weirded out. The feeling I have about this voice is that it's kind of hostile and means serious business, but at the same time it simply has a certain vector set as a direction and it is merely doing its job in stirring me towards that certain way, perhaps judging me, without a sense of mercy and regard for how I might react.
T+01:20
The voice is mellowing out and beginning to sound more and more distant. I feel at great ease and a general sense of wellbeing is starting to overcome me. A vibrating, uplifting and fluid buzz which I can only describe as being reminiscent of a tryptamine is present and as I look around I notice that the surfaces of objects are rotating, flowing and glistening, the visuals are extremely sharp. A very great feeling of religious contentment overcomes me and I feel accepted and very compatible with the current state. The feeling is very natural, personal, magical, mellow, approving and very deep.
T+01:40
Everything is mellowing out and I am left feeling blessed, however the vibration or the frequency is very earthly, grounded and foreign, almost man-made and originating from a foreign identity (LSD and 2c-b create a more cosmic and personal post-peak experience). There are still slight visuals and the landscape looks beautiful, however a sense of boredom is starting to develop.
T+02:00
I am more in control now and not feeling so dissociated. I realize the experience was very dream-like. I am capable of talking but it is still kind of difficult. The uplifting buzz, slight visuals and there is a feeling that something grandiose and divine took place, almost like I'm in some kind of cartoon, comic book or child story, a very warm and cozy yet foreign tone is present.
T+04:00
The effects are subsiding and I'm being pieced back together, yet the pieces do not exactly fit.
T+06:00
I feel rather awkward and confused, however I am very impressed with the experience and how simultaneously light, deep and engaging it was.
T+12:00
We drop 280mg of ecstasy with food and some beers and it is very potent.
T+13:00
We smoke weed and talk, however I am displeased with the company as they’re very fake and ingenuine and mostly trying to be cool, they have no background in studying psychedelics and their idea about life is heavily influenced by western propaganda norms, rather egotistic individuals.
T+14:00
I eat 3 more stems of psilocybe mexicana and drop two tabs of LSD allegedly laid at 330mcg each and stored in a drawer at hot humid conditions for 3-4 months.
T+16:00
There are very little effects present, I think I'm mostly feeling clarity from the shrooms. Of course I have also built up strong tolerance due to consuming said tryptamines.
T+17:00
We are all now very tired and go to bed, I eat another 280mg and fall asleep pretty quickly.
The sleep felt like it lasted a single moment and I felt as if I looped outwards and back into myself. Before I knew it I woke up after 6 hours feeling very well rested and refreshed.
Now for experience №3 which occurred a month later, in the evening, where two other people and I consumed approximately 12 stems ±3 caps each:
The come-up consisted of positive vibes and laughter up until T+01:20. Then we felt overwhelmed by a tryptamine buzz, none of the magical effects from my previous experience were present. Then at around T+02:00 we felt more grounded and adapted to the effects. Whenever we tried to speak, random unrelated gibberish would come out. I felt perfectly fine psychologically however one of us felt very inhibited and out of it, saying that he understands how people could commit suicide while on this. This was very shocking to hear and goes to show that these substances are not meant for rookies or for people who are just looking to get wasted, needless to say only I had gone through countless hours of research to assure myself that everything is fine, without a chance for permanent damage or perversion of one's psyche, and that in case of trouble a few hours of time will resolve everything. Later on we began to experience a very unique emotion which consisted of us synaesthetically seeing/feeling a geometric pattern in the form of a fractal, almost like a portal through hyperspace, pulsating and spinning, we could see this through our minds essentially. We went to sleep with some minor issues and woke up feeling normal.
Psilocybin mushrooms appear to provide me with the most well-rounded package of effects. They are very lucid and clean and provide an extremely genuine and deep religious experience. No weird feelings, very grounded. They are difficult to dose. To me this is the most complete psychedelic and I cannot imagine how adding anything else to it (ketamine, ecstasy, 2c-b, LSD) will contribute to something positive.
You need to have done your research, genuinely care about yourself and the people around you and be able to step into the experience with a firm belief and grasp on the whole situation. Additionally you need to be well grounded. I for one am subscribed to the idea of Christianity, to me there are no chakras, energies, ghosts and perversion, not even an ego as it is portrayed by eastern practices because to me the thinking mind is a tool necessary for exploring the wonders world. Even if there are evil spirits, negative energies and ill-intended individuals, my faith is put in all the right places, it is my sanctuary and I have no room to harbor doubt and negativity.
