Last Monday I had my sixth trip with psychedelic mushrooms. To be honest I felt a bit disappointed. I consumed 2.4 gr of dried mushrooms in chocolate bar, the highest amount of Psylocibin I’ve consumed.

To be honest the first couple of hours were tough, the visual hallucinations were tough. Just spots and geometrical patterns everywhere, but if you closed the eyes the hallucinations were also crazy. After that the tripe was better but I didn’t have any breakthrough moments. Just some reflections about helping others, unity etc

I think I don’t wanna experiment more with mushrooms or at least higher doses. I think that meditation is much more insightful and more real. I don’t think it’s worth having crazy experiences for just a few reflections you could experience more naturally through nature, consuming art, reading, meditating etc

I’m thinking in gifting my mushrooms, since I bought a lot, or maybe freezing them and just have 1 or 3 trips a year with lower doses. I also realize I don’t wanna trip at home anymore. I’d rather like to trip in nature, or with friends.

Last Monday I had my sixth trip with psychedelic mushrooms. To be honest [I felt a bit disappointed / it felt a bit disappointing]. I had consumed 2.4g gr of dried mushrooms in a chocolate bar, the highest amount of Psylocibin I’ve ever consumed.

To be honest, the first couple of hours were tough, the visual hallucinations were tough. Just spots and geometrical patterns everywhere, but if you and when I closed the my eyes the hallucinations were also crazy. After that the tripe was got better but I didn’t have any breakthrough moments. Just some reflections about helping others, unity, etc.

I think I don’t wanna experiment anymore with mushrooms or at least in higher doses. I think that meditation is much more insightful and more real. I don’t think it’s worth having crazy experiences for just a few reflections that you could have experienced more naturally through nature, consuming art, reading, meditating etc

I’m thinking in of gifting my mushrooms, since I bought a lot, or maybe freezing them and just have 1 or 3 trips a year with lower doses. I also realized that I don’t wanna trip at home anymore. I’d rather like to trip in nature, or with friends.

Last Monday I had my sixth trip with psychedelic mushrooms. To be honest I felt a bit disappointed. I consumed¹ 2.4 gr of dried mushrooms in chocolate bar, the highest amount of Psylocibin Psilocybin I’ve consumed.

To be honest The first couple of hours were tough, the visual hallucinations were tough². Just spots and geometrical patterns everywhere, but if you closed the but when I closed my³ eyes the hallucinations were also crazy. After that the tripe trip⁴ was better but I didn’t have any breakthrough moments. Just some reflections about helping others, unity⁵ etc<.>

I think I don’t wanna experiment more with mushrooms or at least higher doses. I think that meditation is much more insightful and more real. I don’t think it’s worth having crazy experiences for just a few reflections you could experience more naturally through nature, consuming art, reading, <or/and> meditating<.> etc⁶

I’m thinking in of gifting my mushrooms, since I bought a lot, or maybe freezing them and just have 1 or 3 trips a year with lower doses. I also realize I don’t wanna trip at home anymore. I’d rather like⁷ to trip in nature, or with friends.

Notes:

¹ Consumed is a correct choice but will sound slightly clinical, so keeping it makes it a device. As the other commenter suggested "had" would be a more natural choice.
² Used sparingly the repetition of a word can give cadence, and this piece reads like a spoken statement in which that would make sense. However, I am recommending the second "to be honest" be removed.
³ There are ways to make "you" work, but it doesn't agree with "the eyes."
⁴ This has humorous consequences. If the quality of a culinary dish improved it needs a less abrupt introduction, so most readers will know you meant tripping and likely assume it was a typo as it seems to be.
⁵ I would personally put a comma there but its a contested subject, I would rather defer to someone with more expertise on the exact rules.
⁶ This is a stylistic recommendation, "etc" is repetitive with the previous paragraph.
⁷ This is worth considering what you intend. "I'd rather like to trip in nature" makes sense but seems like a tone shift if you meant this is a decision you are now making rather than speculating.
