An Experience with MDMA and Mushrooms
by Puck
Were I to have ever actually done drugs, which of course i haven't,
I might
have found shrooms and x to actually be a MARVELOUS combination!
The
combination of the hallucinatory action and intense body consciousness
of
the shrooms interact very well with the empathic edge of the x,
and it can
be a very moving, intimate and entheogenic experience.
I have found myself a few times in very interesting social dynamics,
heh, on
the two, especially when garnished with some nitrous... and sexually
is a
very viable combination especially in comparision with, say, a
hit of lsd;
the visions can be almost overwhelming, their tangibility almost
on par with
2cb ( perhaps the x carrying the suspension of disbelief more
effectively);
everything falling into very cohesive imageries, and very organic
and
spiritual as well as personalized... this is the combo on which
i've found
myself engaged with the shiva, a writhing mass of giant earthworms
getting
frenetically busy a la Giger, etc.
I've always been fairly sloppy with timing my intakes, never myself
having a
good understanding of what is best; i would probably advise taking
the x
fairly early on, like right after your stomach settles suitably
to hold the
stuff down....
Which reminds me of a few other experiences actually, which earn
a caveat
despite my basic enthusiasm: the times i have decided to lay the
x on well
after the mushrooms already had ahold of my brain, it struck me
that the
shrooms really didn't trust the potentially inauthentic sentiments
of the x,
and always, just at the moment the x touched my tongue, my stomach
would
react very violently to it and simply not let me take it down,
to the point
of vomiting into my hand as it approached my mouth. have ruined
a noteable
number of nice x capsules by barfing them up immediately, there's
another
$20 on the desert floor.... So bodily reactions are much more
acutely a part
of my experience combining these two, and unless they're introduced
to one
another early on in the road trip, they may not become the best
of friends
;)
another interpretation of this situation might be: i have an overeager
tummy
anyway, and more frequently than not do get nauseous on even just
x or lsd,
much less shrooms... i've started interpreting it as part of my
own little
ritual, and take it in stride usually. it might be that thee anticipation
of
the x hit gets the shrooms going, i barf, peak, and _that's_ when
the x
should be ingested. the shrooms always kick in most strongly immediately
upon coughing them back up; perhaps i should just embrace the
inevitability
of me upchucking, have done with it, and then drop the x into
my newly
available belly...
just a few thoughts. if you have any difficulties with the notion
of
crawling on your hands and knees toward the nearest shrub or toilet
during a
few dizzying moments, it might not be adviseable, but if you have
learned to
hack it elegantly it's certainly worth the risk. i have a few
friends who
actually refuse or are reluctant to take shrooms because it might
want to
make them hurl, which i think is a tragic and silly evasion of
a truly
magnificent experience. give it a go, then, and as far as my reckoning
goes
i can't see any likely real harm.
happy hunting,
Puck
