Redroping with mushrooms: a way to modify the experience?

[Noisy]

Hello dear Nexians!

During this last day of the year, I was reading my notebook where I write my different experiences.
Something strike me concerning mushrooms redrop. I have done this 3 times during these 2 last years, sometime some of my friends have done so. Each time, it seemed to modify the classical progress of the mushroom trip in a particular manner. I've always red and explained to my friends that redroping with mushrooms wasn't very efficient, since tolerance build up fast, but I now have a doubt.

Those 3 experiences could be described in 3 periods, redrop was made between 1st and 2nd hour each time:

- Period of questionning about human interactions, personnal issues, ego struggling during one or two hours. This introduction, not always very pleasant, resolved when I faced what was needed to, I think the redrop helped.
- Once this was done, I experienced each time pure bliss, synaesthesia, experiences we only could describe as "telepathy" (one was recorded in video). This intensity is quite strange, because each time, the mushrooms dose (Cubensis) wasn't that high (between 1,5 and 2g first, followed by a redrop of 0,5 to 1g). This period lasted each time 2 to 2 and a half hour
- Then came a very enjoyable come down, during 2 to 3 hours, with a lasting psychedelic way of considering things, a high capacity to focus, faster thoughts. This also seems strange to me, because I'm used to come down quite quickly with mushrooms, what could be a problem when experimenting a profound trip.

So, here is my question: does somebody noticed this? Not only the longest duration (7 hours) but this particular sequence and this quite high intensity?

And, by the way: happy new year, fellow Nexians!

So, exactly one year later, I gave again a try to this method, in order to check if what I noted was reproducible.

With a close friend of mine, we took during last winter solstice night 2,5g of Cubensis, infused 20 minutes in lemon juice with honey, on an almost empty stomach.

The onset was fast, the album "Rosetta" of Vangelis sent us quickly in orbite. Our mind was very clear, we got through many emotional states, with a strong mental connection between us, espacialy when my friend started singing and playing drum.

One hour and a half after ingestion of our mushroom lemonade, I took one more gram of the same mushrooms, this time without lemon. My idea was to test if this redrop would take me higher even when I was already in a realy pleasant state. My friend did not redroped.

We started the Stabat Mater of Pergolesi immediately after this redrop. I spent the next 30 minutes in the same state, the music was like healing my body, some painfull points were appearing in my back, my neck and by focusing on my breath, on my body posture, those tensions where disappearing and at the same time waves of bliss were coming to my Soul.

After that, I think when the gram of mushroom ingested began to kick, I began to feel a little bit confused, worried about the way I had to be with some of my close relatives to solve some personnal issues. I took about 20 minutes to get a clearer mind and to focus on theses issues I had to solve. It gave my interesting insights, even if to get them I had to leave my anterior blissfull state, so it was worth it!

The comedown was, this time again, enjoyable, with a little bit of weed and of a blend containing many plants my friend prepared, listening to a Johnny Blue set.

The total duration was approximately 7 hours, with 2 hours really pleasant, with high energy, a lot of emotions and a strong connection with my friend. The next two hours were on a more introspective vibe, sometimes hard but fruitfull. The last three hours were a gentle comedown, during which listening to music and watching cats playing between us helped to reintegrate our bodies. I would say this redrop extended the plateau, compared to my friend, of one hour, perhaps one hour and a half and extended the comedown duration of one hour (what is enjoyable to me as I find usually mushrooms comedown a little bit abrupt).

So, to conclude, the redrop gave my this time the exact opposite of what I experienced the last times: first a bliss state, then an introspective step, before a gentle comedown.

I don't know if I would have experienced the introspective phase without redroping, my friend also had one but a lot shorter than mine. This was the most usefull phase to me, even if it wasn't the most pleasant. So, it seems to me that by redroping I get a more balanced experience, mixing both psychedelic magic and insightfull introspective state, with a progressive comedown, usefull to integrate the informations "downloaded" during the trip.

Thanks for reading and I apologize for the many grammatical mistakes I certainly made, I'm not used to write such long texts in english.

Peace and happy new year!
