I get a body high from acid AND mushrooms.. except the acid body high sucks, and the mushroom high feels like my entire body is having an orgasm.
Also, you have to be careful with mushrooms and 'enlightenment' because even though while on them you feel like you have some epiphany and some vast knowledge is shown to you instantly, the mushrooms are altering the way you think. It's like giving you another way to reach a conclusion on a subject, even if that way isn't exactly sound or totally correct.. but when you're tripping, you don't see that. The key is deciphering and understanding the things you feel while you trip.. I really hate to use this as an example, but seeing as how I just watched the end of the first matrix on TV, I'll do it anyways. It's the same concept as the oracle.. she told them what they needed to hear in order to learn the real truth for themselves. Mushrooms are a guide.. not a map.
"And this pad sure is a long way from my face." -lmao
Great idea to write down your thoughts while you were tripping.. it really really really makes first trips a lot easier to handle because when you write, you aren't fighting the trip, but you are letting your mind and imagination go. I always have a pad and pen when i'm tripsitting for a first timer.
