Experiences - Trip Report: Pure Psilocybin Powder in Capsules

[elscorcho717]

SWIM has a friend who is a chemistry major and has been experimenting with extracting the active ingredients in several drugs. SWIM has been only happy to oblige by being his guinea pig and trying his pure MDMA powder, but yesterday SWIM was surprised when his friend had completed another "project" that he hadn't been told about.

My chemist friend had been growing mushrooms and extracted the psilocybin from nearly a pound of them, putting the dry equivalent of a quarter of shrooms in each capsule. SWIM was the first to try these and he hears they were incredible!

One capsule was taken on an empty stomach. Less than 20 minutes later SWIM was experiencing intense hallucinations and a very stimulant-like body high without the typical nausea associated with eating mushrooms. After about an hour SWIM reported not exactly losing consciousness but being so immersed in the shroom-world that he no longer felt he was "all there". When he "returned" from shroom-space it was nearly 8 hours since he had started and he was still hallucinating, just not as intensely.

I know that tolerance builds quickly with hallucinogens so it's too bad that he won't be able to take it again soon, but SWIM looks forward to it and highly recommends pure psilocybin over eating dried mushrooms.

Sounds like quite a time! Do you know what method swiy's friend used? Did he use the crystals of the gods technique and use the crystals directly, without keeping them in solution? inquiring minds would love to hear as much about it as you can tell.

I'd be interested in hearing a more detailed account of SWIM's trip, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Unfortunately, I cannot pretend to understand or know what method my chemist friend used to extract the psilocybin. I do know that cubensis mushrooms were used and SWIM reported that the powder had reflective properties under light (similar to that of pure cocaine). However it looked more like crystals rather than plain white powder. However since SWIM swallowed the capsule without taking the crystals out for examination, he can't recall anything else about its appearance.

Once again, SWIM swallowed the pill on an empty stomach and began to notice intense perspective changes after 20 minutes. By the half hour mark he was experiencing hallucinations akin to those he would have at the peak of a normal shroom trip. Throughout the next half-hour they became more and more patterned and intense and took up more and more of his field of vision. SWIM was keenly aware that he could only see 50% of what was really in the room... then only 40%... then only 25%... then only 10%... and (I think) at about an hour after swallowing the pill, he HIMSELF was swallowed into shroom-space. Now, through this whole time SWIM believes he was sitting in one spot, or at least stayed in the same room but it was as if the room did not exist. Even though his friends reported his eyes were open they were not seeing what was in front of them but instead the psilocybin was making his brain interpret optical signals completely differently and to put it simply, he was tripping balls. He remembers a lot of geometric patterns, a great body feeling and a deep feeling of unity and peace with his surroundings. When psilocybin lifted the shade it had pulled over SWIM's eyes it was night, and nearly 8 hours had passed since he had taken the capsule. At this point he was still seeing patterned effects but he began to slowly begin seeing the room again as it was. The "come down" took about another 2 hours. SWIM reported falling asleep and slept soundly and happily for about 7 hours. He awoke in time for work refreshed, and with a few abstract concepts from the night before still lingering in his head that are still entertaining him to this moment.

SWIM can't wait to take it again!

Decent report, and one of many. Keep up the good/informative work.
