Mushroom Madness

[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated, tripping, or extremely sleep deprived is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
I had prepared a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with an eighth of supposed 'really good' mushrooms. It was 12:00am when I ate them, 35 minutes later I started to trip almost out of my control sitting in my friends car with him smoking weed behind a building. I was talking to the skull on my punisher shirt, I saw shadows moving all over the ground by themselves with nothing casting the shadow in the first place. I said I needed to get out of there, and told my friend to remind me later not to underestimate these mushrooms, as they were highly potent. We picked up a friend of mine, and then he ate a half -eighth.

Then it got crazy. My shrooming friend came to my car with me, I gave him my keys, I was tripping too hard for driving. We drove to a nature park, he started tripping just as we pulled into a little parking area with a nice view of the road behind us, and the woods in front of us, where we felt safe. We switched seats, and listened to music and put my sunroof down and saw stars moving around. We got out of the car, trees were all bendy and moving in towards us seemingly menacingly, but neutral all the same with the bright-ass moon shining behind them. The clouds were morphing into things, my friend got scared, we got back in the car, he said he was glad there was glass between us and the cloud creatures.

Then, even though I was tripping hard, I felt I had peaked and was staying on that peak and I could handle driving with good concentration, in retrospect, this was not a good idea. I started driving through the park at 20 miles an hour because there were deer all over and we wanted to look at the crazy morphing shapes along the sides of the road. I slowed to a stop and we attempted to converse with deer, we drove all over, my friend , not one to get angry, made me stop so he could get out and attack a road sign that he 'hated'. We drove all over, hooting and hollering and causing a crazy scene. We forgot there were houses there in that park. Complaints must have been called in, because as I drove along one of the roads out, we saw headlights, I sped up to normal speed, and watched the cop car go by, then in my rear view the brake lights go on and it goes to turn around as if it were looking for me. I completely flip out, as does my friend.

If this experience didn't happen to me, I wouldn't believe this part possible at all, but it's very true. I punch my car to 60 and we zip along dangerous roads at 4 in the morning where there are lots of hills, and I 'm going fast as hell but I see the headlights of the cop car coming after me over the hill, every hill, every turn, I can still see a faint glimmer of its headlights as it follows me, although it never put on its lights, I gunned it so it was a ways behind. I was screaming and cursing at my friend, he was smacking the window and cursing and yelling at me, he roughly directed me to his house while I screeched my car dangerously around back roads to get there. We get to his drive way and I pull all the way in and kill the engine and I sigh and we kick back the seats and just look up at my car and the crazy visuals as we laugh about not believing our luck.....and then I think to myself I spoke too soon, sure enough I see in my rear view lights, a car has pulled along the road and stopped in front of my friends driveway, it was the cop. My friend started to flip out beyond reason, but I told him to shut up and listen to me and we'd make it out. I said lay back in the seat and don't move so the car looks empty. We both do..the car pulls past after about a minute, and goes around the bend but looks to be turning around to come back again! I say let's get the hell out of here, we bolt from the car to his backyard, his parents were light sleepers, we were tripping too hard, we smoked cigarettes to keep warm and talked but every noise we heard we thought was something to come get us. After 35 minutes, we got in my car and drove to my house where we crashed.

We couldn't believe our luck with the escape, it was crazy, but in the future, I won't drive while shrooming, it's just confusing as hell and not worth the risk, best idea is an isolating peacefull place with some weed and friends to chill out at.
