FATAL MUSHROOM TRIP

"A friend of mine and myself had been planning on eating a large quantity of mushrooms for a long time. We have both had fairly extensive experience with mushrooms; usually eat 3 to 5 grams at a time. This time we decided we would both try and munch a 1/4 each (7 grams). When we picked up the mush from our dealer he warned us that he had gotten a new batch, which know one had tried yet, but was told that they were very potent. We purchased a 1/4 each and went back to my place to eat them.

After devouring the mush at my place we decided to head over to a friends, who was having a small party that night. While we were driving over we could both feel the mush coming on pretty strong, so we decided to stop at a park on the way to have a little break, and trip out in nature for a while. After this point, things get pretty vague and I don't really remember exactly what happened.

All I can really remember is feeling the mush coming on really strong when we were parked in the parking lot of the park, and telling my friend that maybe this was a bad idea to eat a 1/4. I remember him telling me that he agreed, and that he wasn't feeling too good. After this point in our trip things took a really bad turn for the worse.

I was loosing touch with reality, everything seemed so complicated, I was hullucinating really bad to the point that I couldn't see anything that was real, everything was a hullucination coming from inside my fucked up brain, nothing was making sense, and eventually I lost it. I didn't know what was happening anymore, I didn't know where I was, I didn't know who I was with, I didn't even know what I was anymore for that matter. I remember feeling REALLY scared, thinking I was going to die. All I could think of was death; a little voice inside my head kept telling me that "I'm going to die, and it's alright", when I asked the little voice why I was going to die it simply said "mushrooms". I don't know for sure how long I was in this state of mind since it seemed like an eternity, but I would have to estimate 3 to 4 hours.

Finally after what seemed like forever, it felt as though a huge weight had been taken off my brain, and I was somewhat able to think and see again. It felt like I was coming out of a coma, even though I've never been in one before. I was able to understand what was happening now, and why. I remembered that I had eaten a shit load of mush, and must have gotten really fucked from it. I also realized that I was curled up in a little ball in the driver seat of my car, practically naked, and freezing cold. I just realized that I forgot to mention that it was winter time (-10 celcius). Anyways, I figure I must have taken my clothes off at some point in the trip, but can't remember when, or what I had done with them. Then I remembered that my good friend Luke was with me, but he wasn't in my car anymore, and I had no idea where he went.

I just sat there in my car, naked, freezing cold, and in shock for a long time; I was still really fucked up, which is why I never started my car to get warm, since it was so cold out. I would have to estimate I sat there for another 2 to 3 hours.

I finally started to feel more normal, so I motivated myself to try and find out what happened with my clothes, and my friend Luke. This is when things went from bad, to undescribably horrid.

I got out of my car and walked around it in hopes of finding my clothes. To my astonishment I found Luke curled up in a ball, naked in the snow bank beside my car. He was totally white; and when I called to him he didn't respond. I knew he was dead almost instantly, but it took several
hours to come to grips with it. I sat in my car, crying, thinking awful thaoughts that I don't even want to mention, until sunrise. Then I dialed 911 on my cell phone and told my story to the very kind lady on the other end of the line.

The mushrooms didn't directly kill my friend, it was hypothermia. If he wouldn't have been so looped out of his mind like I was from the mush, he would have never gotten himself in the position that he did. I am very lucky to be alive today, as I could have very easily died from hypothermia as well. The police, and paramedics figured that the car must have retained some of my body heat to keep me alive, or maybe I started the car at some point in my trip, and I just don't remember.

Since the "trip" I have had severe emotional problems. I am getting therapy right now, but it hasn't really improved my emotional state at all. I have also since been kicked out of college because my grades are too low, and because I am not emotionally stable. I spend most of my days crying, and contemplating suicide. I wish this would have never happened. I think I have scarred myself for life, actually I know I have.

I guess the lesson from all of this is, if you're gonna do drugs, be sensible, know your limits, and always have a sober person around just in case."

That is FUCKED man.

[Ice006]

That's some fucked up shit. Knowing that shrooms can take you far enough away from your body to not feel extreme temperatures.. I like my acid, but maybe shrooms are just that little bit more powerful…

[Jay212]

That story is very hard to believe. 7g's is a lot of shrooms, but anyone who's taken 7gs can vouch for me that they don't fuck you up THAT bad. Curling up in a ball with all your clothes off? blacking out and forgetting shit? That's like... overdose levels. And they say they're experienced with shrooms.. This sounds like the government trying to scare people off of shrooms. Then again, there shrooms were ultra powerful.

[SToNeR ChRiS]

I don't know man. I've never done shrooms, so I'm not one to argue or disagree with what you said, but I'd see how the story could be true. With that being said, the fact that they both ended up naked in a fetal position as a consequence of the shrooms is pretty random. Nevertheless I wouldn't want to be that guy either.

[Ikku]

Perhaps they weren't psilocybin mushrooms? The one time I did shrooms I ate five mushrooms, they were very large, at least a gram each. Probably quite close to 6 or 7g, it was a hell of a trip but their trip sounds dissociative, not hallucinogenic. I remember the entire trip, and I was never delusional. I don't see how someone would get naked in the freezing cold even if they were tripping balls, it just doesn't alter your thought processes that way.

shiiit this makes me wanna do drugs and stuff and drink all alone so im not responsible for anyone but myself if anythign this horrible happens... like today,,,me and my friend too vodka, tequila and sum sunny D mixed it and drank it, her 13 year old cousin tried sum too (barley any like....a bottle caps worth) then like 3 hours later shes like... my stomach hurts and you guys know why and all this other shit and im just like wtf?? its been 3 hours its not the shit you drank its cuz your in a frikin bathing suit and the house is cold haha

ya.... and when my friend tried weed for first time he got me worried first with the deep coughing.. then he was acting all weird just standing there waving around in cirlces ghahaha

weeeiirrddd

[logically]

I agree with Jay. It's probably government propaganda. Unless they were a different kind of shroom like ikku said, they wouldn't have messed him up that much. Shroom trips are amazing! don't let the government scare you away

[Dr. Greenthumb]

I've had similar experiences after consuming large quantities of shrooms. Nothing as bad as your story but similar feelings of losing all touch with reality and waking up half naked curled up in a ball.

My condolences to the family of your friend.

Sounds like you're in a really rough place in life right now but remember things will eventually look up just try to make peace with the past and move on.

[Jay212]

Lol. Dr. it's not his friend, it's just a story he found on shroomery.org.

[hashpipe]

well its really fucked up,

but why in gods name would you eat 7, SEVEN!, grams of dried shrooms of unknown strengt. thats a fucked up thing to do in the first place, unless doing shrooms is like your hobby or something...... and i personally wouldnt get in a car before/during/after a normal trip, let alone after 7 grams

now if i would know the guy i would still be sorry for him but come on, you need to think before just eating a ridicilous amount of shrooms, all i did was between 3 to 5 grams probably, but i imagine that 7 would be too much of a good thing

If it was the government trying to scare people away, I don't think they would have said 'know your limits and always have a sober person around'
If it was the government trying to scare people, they probably would have said something like 'dont do drugs!', but there is a possibility because this scared the shit out of me to trip on shrooms for a while.

Maybe they finally realized that the "don't do drugs!" ads don't work as well as they thought they would.. It makes sense that they would approach people this way because look how many people actually tune into these stories posted all over the internet. I'm sure the government knows by now that people are going to do what the fuck they wana do, and telling them "no." isn't enough. So they learn to live with it and try to get people to just be as safe as possible if they choose to do this shit.

Also, in my city they don't tell people not to do drugs anymore, they just tell you to be safe and there's government funded places that actually supply free disposable needles and pipes to people. It's insane..

Damn what city do you live in?

[Jay212]

Ottawa. The capital of Canada.
