Intro/Prep:
My wife and I recently went on vacation to the blue Ridge mountains. We had a lovely house rented for a week right in the mountains for us and our dog.
Since I had never tried a lemon tek out before (or these specific mushrooms) I ran a test run with a stem weighing .55g one early night in the vacation. I was pleasantly surprised with the tek on this low dosage. It actually seems like it could be a great dosage to aid in medidation and I may experiment with this more in the future.
I think it has been at least 10 years since either my wife and I have partaken in the the magic fungus. We planned to give it a go later in the week. On the day in question I asked if she was still feeling like giving it a go and it was a yes, but she was anxious which we both though was a health thing. We planned our meals so that we would have empty stomachs by early evening so we could begin with some daylight and get the transition to night in the trip.
My wife and I broke up about 4g. Heated up a few lemons to get some extra juice. Put the broken up mushrooms into a metal tea ball and squeezed the juice. Then added a little bit of hot water to make sure it was all covered easily. Let this sit with occasional stirring for ~20-30 min. At end squeezed the mushroom mush to get the liquid out. Mush was thrown away.
Report:
Effects started possibly as fast as 10 minutes, by 20-30 it is coming on strong. We decided to leave this lovely little local radio station on (WNCW) instead of selecting our own music. This ended up being a great decision! Effects are building and building quickly, but with no stomach discomfort at all. Very soon I find myself in a very familiar state. My wife comments on this same thing even though it has been so long for any psychedelic for her. The "oh yeah" effect. With eyes closed and still I find I am in a very deep state that is hard to english, it's like I am listening to the music in many dimensions and can easily drift away/dissolve in the state, however I can bring myself out with some movement. This state is ever present and I can go in/out of it at will as it continues to build. Despite this really overwhelming feeling (not in a bad way) we can still communicate very well. Words don't always come like normal, however there is a clearness that is amazing in my mind. No fuzz at all and a stillness. I can hear both of us exchanging deep exhales and from this I can easily tell my wife is in a very similar place as myself. Time is extremely out of whack for both of us. From 20min in to the first hour it feels like a big meld that lasts hours. The randomness of the music was such a great experience. I felt like I was in really good hands with the DJ's, first the 2nd half of world cafe and then the local DJ. I do value the whole silent darkness thing, but on mushrooms I feel I can go really far with music. Maybe it is because it is such a huge part of my life, being obsessed with finding good stuff for a long time and also making my own.
Funny side note. When trying to look up the playlist for the night after the fact I found out the title of the show from 8-9 that night is called "Peak Of The Week™". My wife and I both got a kick out of that.
After a while we go out on the deck at the house. A change of scene is nice. Even though we are still very much deep in it, we can easily talk. And talk we did. We talked about how it is funny in daily life that a slight change of scene such as couch to bathroom, living room to outside porch is so trivial, but in this state it is so immensely different. We also talked about the weirdness of how amazing the whole experience was going, but yet how CLEAR we felt. Mind you then I could still float back into the "feeling" I guess I'll call it at this point but my mind just has so much clarity. Perhaps it was mixing cannabis with my trips before that clouded them, but this is weird, It is simultaneously a really "intense" trip and very easy going and lucid. After talking about how different the experience can always feel from what people try to describe and the englishing problem we decide that really the best thing we can come up with is "Awesome". A word that has really lost so much meaning, but this state is a perfect fit.
Overall this was such a great experience a long time in the coming. This lemon tek is how I will be using mushrooms in the future. Some part of me wants to play the scientist to help gather some more info by eating 2g normally to compare, but I don't know if I will be able to bring myself to do that after such strong, but easy on the stomach experience. Especially now that I am older and only doing these longer sessions a few times a yearish and not every week like my former life.
