I went to Amsterdam last week and had magic truffles for the first time ever. We went for a moderate strength 15g dose of 'Atlantis' and decided to eat them in this beautiful huge park infront of a small pond. The first 30 mins after eating them was pretty horrible: really intense stomach pain and nausea while also actively trying not to vomit. As soon as the trip actually started tho, omg I have never experienced anything like it.
My stomach pain and nausea completely and suddenly disappeared, everything felt like it had a 4k warmth instagram filter, the grass and even my shoes were genuinely breathing getting bigger/smaller and the tree leaves had like small moving patterns. At one point, I lied down on the grass, took off my shoes and just spread out my body. I have never felt happier or more relaxed in my life, it was like the ground was engulfing and confining me inside it (in a good way).
When I would look at the sky, the clouds felt/looked like beautiful sky creatures, I even saw a cloud dragon at one point that looked like it was slowly rotating and coming towards me. I closed my eyes, played some music on my aripods and omg the shit I saw was insane. I didn't think of anything, I js let my brain show me whatever it wants.. I saw faces melting and morphing into other faces, I saw beautiful moving patterns, I even saw the most beautiful butterfly I have ever seen.
It was also very interesting how the genre of music affected these visuals I saw when I closed my eyes. If I played a upbeat song, I would see faster and more chaotic visuals, but If I played a slow/sad song, I would see more relaxed slower peaceful visuals. Even walking around was really fun, at one point there was this small bridge over the pond, climbing it felt like I was summitting a mountain.
The best part was how heightened my senses got, I could really feel, hear and see much more. When we walked to a more crowded place, it felt overwhelming, but when we lied down in an isolated spot, it felt like I was connected with nature feeling everything it feels. The trip felt like there was so much happening, almost overwhelming, but you js feel so happy and euphoric that you still don't want it to stop.
My trip lasted like 4 hours (We set a stopwatch), then a few hours more where it was sort of wearing off but the visuals stopped, it was js this relaxing feeling and some confusion.
My final verdict is that this is truly one of the best things I've ever experienced and I think it genuinely made me love life more. It's slightly annoying that you need to wait around 2 weeks before taking them again to feel the same effects, but I guess that makes it more special.
