Psilocybin Mushroom Visual Effects (Open & Closed Eye)

[MrTomosko]

My fist time was in the wood it was epic !!!

[thedearpsychonaut]

the CEV part was a bit more like DMT, but great nonetheless!

[avedic]

@thedearpsychonaut I've never done DMT...but what I saw with closed eyes on psilocybin was 100% what you see in the video. That exact painting by Alex Grey. It surprised me...to be seeing it SO lucidly...with rotating hues...and the perspective seemed to go into infinity. It was astounding. I sure would love to try DMT though

[thedearpsychonaut]

@avedic psilocybin visuals are quite similar to DMT closed eye, but they are much slower, and i didn't find them as vivid or complex. thats crazy you saw that painting, its a masterpiece, do you know the dosage/strain you took?

[avedic]

@thedearpsychonaut don't know the strain...but the dosage was 5 to 6 grams. and i saw waaaaay crazier things than that with closed eyes. i just found it odd that i saw that specific painting...EXACTLY as you see it here. 100% the same. but way more vivid of course.

[thedearpsychonaut]

@avedic interesting, thats a pretty hefty dose so i don't doubt the significant CEV's. must have been quite a trip

[SoundHead420]

@thedearpsychonaut on high doses mushrooms get more DMT like. they are very similar in chemical structure(N-N DMT and Psilocin) and if you have prior experience with mushrooms and smoke DMT, then trip on shrooms sometime again, you will notice even more similarities

[CaptainHurpDurp]

Nice Tool artwork lol

[willbond]

Did a heroic dose as a youngster. I had some pretty bizarre delusions for several weeks after I came down. A friend of mine did them more frequently and ended up in a psych ward thinking his poop was turning into chess pieces and playing games in the toilet.

[mrsmelloopy]

hi there what you recomend for someone who has never done any experementing(not that i know any one or where to get any thing -im in queensland australia)dose it depent on weight ,level of spiritual readyness any thing like that let me know nameste love to all.

[avedic]

@mrsmelloopy Yep, it depends on both those things. If you're in a good spot in your life and in a good setting and around good people, you're sure to have a great experience. With mushrooms, you want to take enough to have the full experience. I recommend 5 grams. Any less, and it may be too weak to really do anything. My first 2 times were at 3.5 grams and I barely felt it. The next time, I did 5g and it was incredible. Good luck!

[shawszaa]

@avedic Then again, some people have had 2 grams and it absolutely blew them away. So it really depends on what type your getting and also your body.

[Cheznikkkk]

@avedic 5 grams are WAY too much for a first timer.

OP: Try cannabis first, at least once. I would suggest multiple times first, but at least once. Cannabis provides very very mild feeling compared to mushrooms, but it will be your first experience with a mind-altering substance of a psychedelic nature, and you will not know how to react at first. If you feel up to shrooms after that, find someone who has done them and split an 1/8th of an ounce in half with them (1.75 g). Relax, and enjoy.

[avedic]

@MicahMikey1994 the "true" god? sounds like you joined a fucking cult. your vote is don't do them? well, then my message to everyone....do them. from your previous comments you seen to be either a 50 year old yuppie playing internet or a young kid with mental problems. Either way, nothing you said was remotely related to the psilocybin experience. Anyone who sees this...try it yourself. You'll see.

[JONPS360]

@avedic The psychedelic experience is just perfect in every way. It let's us interact with our subconcious, which is always ahead of our conscious, it's just that most people don't use it. What most people don't realize is that the logic (and reality) we have developed in our minds as a society is a very stubborn and close-minded logic. Dimensions (realities) are different states of intelligence and awareness. Autistic children for example, seem slow to most kids in the school system.

[JONPS360]

@avedic But they are capable of doing things that are thought to be impossible to most people. They live in their own world where anything can happen, and it's because they interact with their subconcious more than we do. They have trouble communicating with us, because we may seem very stupid to them. And when I thought about all of my trips, I realized that the psychedelic feeling is more of a reality and state of consciousness, than just a feeling. Anything is possible during a trip, which is

[JONPS360]

@avedic Against our society's logic. And tripping to most of our society, is 'bad', but to me, it's like meditation (true meditation is probably a better experience), and just deep thinking with a better perception. What's so bad about thinking? I believe in God, but I don't have a certain religion. Oh and by the way, my thoughts that I've shared on here became aware to me during a trip on a total of 35 mg 2-ci. It lasted over 24 hours, best day I've had yet. I've only taken psilocybin

[JONPS360]

@avedic mushrooms twice, and both times were very mild because of the low dosage. I can't wait to fully experience them though! Happy tripping man. -Jon

[avedic]

@MicahMikey1994 .........demons?? are you 8?

[axelmowmers]

I use to get these mushroom pills in g'boro, two people could trip on one. They would hit hard and fast, I took a whole one and was completely gone in ten minutes. Anyone else ever had these? They were my favorite of all the many hallucinogens i've tried!

[TheHotstuff56]

I really want to try shrooms or lsd. Would the closed eye visuals be bothersome? like, if things get too bright would closing my eyes be uncomfortable?

[avedic]

@TheHotstuff56 bothersome? lol...no. I promise you, you cannot prepare for the experience. It will be THE most important moment of your entire life. just try to prepare for that....

[The3rdPlateau]

As far as open-eye goes, I think you did a decent job, except (for me) I get a lot of color rotation...what I mean by that is, if I look at an orange object for instance, it will sort of shift between orange, pink, reddish, orange again, etc. Also, I would've added some bugs flying around or something to demonstrate the trails...and, the objects breathing could've been done better, as opposed to a bunch of still shots fading in and out of each other. In a way, I think this is more like acid...

[The3rdPlateau]

@The3rdPlateau ...however, as far as the closed-eye visuals go, I think you did a better job. I've never eaten an eighth, only 1 gram doses per session...so maybe I can't really speak about this with much credibility (I much prefer acid, don't do shrooms much), but to me the faces within the patterns that Mr. Grey painted are much more indicative of DMT than psilocybin per se...though the rotating colors were very shroomy. I get more movement though, with the closed-eye stuff...

[The3rdPlateau]

@The3rdPlateau I tend to notice acid closed-eye visuals are more delicate and kaleidoscopic, with bits and pieces of whatever objects you've seen in the past few minutes in a sort of ballet. Shrooms closed-eye visuals are more explosive and chaotic, yet in a way more organized (I know that seems paradoxical). In that sense, it's a lot like DMT...but with shrooms, I don't tend to see faces within the patterns, or anything like that...

[LsdEarwax]

@ChateauSiran1986 Ok, from my personal experience, 4 to 5 grams is gonna be too much lol. Im a little guy tho and just a little over a half 8th has been too much for me before. Start low, and find whats right for you. My second strongest experience was with just 1 gram.

[avedic]

@LsdEarwax and from my experience, 3 grams only gave me a mild pot-like high. 5 grams led me by the hand to meet the spirit of the Earth itself, who in turn led me to meet the universe itself. Yet another reason why this stuff ought to be legal...so people can know what they're getting, use the right amount for their body, and get the right sort of experience. stupid government...they hate freedom.

[LsdEarwax]

@avedic Thats very true, it should be legal. I wasnt exactly disagreeing with you I guess, but if I personally wouldve taken your advice without previously experiencing my limits I would have been FUCKED lol.

[Gadmeer]

@avedic Why bother making things up is a question that once was asked?

[avedic]

@ChateauSiran1986 Psilocybin mushrooms are what you want. 4-5grams would be optimal for a really great trip. Be prepared to have your life changed forever :)

[GF13LD420]

shroomz ae the shit,and that was a trippy video,its hard to come by mushrooms hee in Nogales AZ

[poplockyanddropit]

This is a really well made video. I have tripped on on magic mushrooms 2 times in the forrest and my visuals where pretty similar to the video. Things slightly changed, moved and lots of glowing color. But my trip was way more brighter then your video. And the trees where swirling and things where expanding and i saw the grass growing lol ! Shroom are mind blowing. They should only be used in moderate amounts with the right people during a good mind setting !

[Xynth0]

I'm experiencing closed-eye visuals right now after drinking 3 days heavily. It's pretty rare I think with alcohol. I saw a hooded guy with a book, menacing faces, random objects. Sometimes if I look around my room, I can see the room's shapes even with eyes closed. Of course after opening them, the shapes weren't accurate but it's scaaryy.. it's so weird that you can see stuff with your eyes closed. Are your eyes even involved in it?

[SuperDriedFruit]

@Xynth0 Your brain is what actually "sees" things; the eyes simply send information. Just like with a camera; it's not the lense that takes a picture, it's the electronics inside the camera that do.

[avedic]

@SuperDriedFruit good, but often overlooked, point.

[taylorshred]

@Xynth0 you do have a 3rd eye you know...

[TheJasonreti]

It's crazy you write this because i took the same type of shrooms, very potent blue psilocybin mushrooms and head the same experiences as your 3rd and 4th times mixed into the same single 6 hour trip. I had the highest brightest highs and the lowest hopeless dark lows.. more than anything it felt profound and significant even as it was happening. I look at lot's of aspects of my life differently now and realize that mushrooms arnt drugs to be taken lightly! You must face all your demons on mush

[bboschboi]

this really isnt what ive experienced with mushrooms but it isnt a terrible representation. for me colors get brighter, most surfaces seem to form patterns, and some time i think i see random objects ass people or animals for a split second, ive only done it twice though, one time 1.5g and 2.5g i wish to more next time

[avedic]

@bboschboi Ass people? lol...that'd be scary on shrooms. Obviously this video can't even touch what it's really like. It's way way way more intense and surreal than this video.

2.5g even is pretty low actually. The first two times I did mushrooms...it was at a similar dose...around 2grams. The 3rd time, it was about 5grams and was way way way way WAAAAAAAAY more powerful. Can't emphasize that enough. Try that much...you will meet the universe itself. Promise. ;)

[bboschboi]

@avedic lol ass people opps! i want to do somewhere from 3.5 to 5 grams this weekend. im not sure if my friends will let me though. :P

[JAKEHARRIS281]

@avedic 5 grams = : ). Try powdering the shrooms and putting the powder in 2 juiced lemons and 1 lime. Increases potency by 1.5 and greater. A little bit shorter but more intense trip. Some have said 3g in lemon juice was stronger than 9g.

[MwQuikscope]

@avedic then try to make a trip-effect video yourselve.

[avedic]

@MwQuikscope what??

[Buchy1369]

@avedic 2.5 g is not low. That is a medium dose. 5 grams is a strong dose and anything above that is almost torturous on the psyche. (At least that's what Terence Mckenna believes.)

[avedic]

@Buchy1369 Well, I just have personal experience to go on. My first two times were about 2.5 and it was a waste. Like a mild weed high. The third time was life changing and was 5g. I've actually heard Terrence say on several occasions that, when in doubt, up the dose. He always advocated taking more than you think you may need rather than err on the side of caution. There's no physical harm...though, like you said, a high dose CAN change your consciousness forever. So, be careful. :)

[MegaNicholas14]

Shrooms are random. Definitely not a party drug. Maybe like a camping or a relaxing one, but should. It be taken in stressful environments. It will make you go crazy.

[SinPyro]

do you really see this shit? because i will Really Freak the fuck out.

[avedic]

@SinPyro haha...this video is just an approximation of the visuals you see just as you're coming up. The actual experience is way way WAY more intense and surreal than this. You can actually forget you're a human being and merge into the universe itself....transcending space and time to talk 1-on-1 with whatever you want to call "god" or "nature." Don't let that scare you though....it's a very exciting, beautiful, and fulfilling experience. It will change you for the better.

[SpockCanYouSaveme]

Pot is a hallucinogenic but its the mildest. If you have some top of the line northern California pot you can have mild hallucinations. Nothing like mushrooms though.

[FFS1NICO]

after taking shrooms everything looks really.... real.

[avedic]

@FFS1NICO haha...couldn't have said it better myself. That's the one thing non-users are quite unaware of. I know I was. Before taking mushrooms, I had an idea of what it would be like. Lots of pretty colors, kaleidoscope effects, and seeing things that "weren't there." Of course this was all from movies and TV. In reality, it's more like the feeling of slipping off a tight shoe after a long day. Or removing sunglasses to see the world unfiltered. It's poignant, humbling, and very very real.

[FFS1NICO]

@avedic to describe the effect for non-users i compare it to graphics in video games. when you are NOT on shrooms the graphics are so-so. while tripping graphics are super-ultra realistic and cool.

[chickenbuttiscool]

@avedic yea and its quite overwhelming seeing everything just ahah go at it for the first time after munchin on a quarter of gold caps

[avedic]

@chickenbuttiscool nice user name lol

[buddhabilla]

Very well done.

For the low-dose OEVs, you got the depth perception distortion and the pixellation aspects down perfectly.

[avedic]

@buddhabilla haha...thanks. it's a pretty simple video just made by altering an image. but, i made it the day after, so it was still fresh in my mind. the spider-weby pixelation part is pretty strange to me...it almost feels like you can see each cell on a person's arm.

[buddhabilla]

@avedic

No, it's very nicely done. Pretty much this is the only video (on YouTube at least) that's accurate in any way.

Last time I went outside for a walk at night (low-dose), I couldn't believe that the trees looked so pixellated, that the grass was neatly divided into hexes. Yea looking at your own arms is a trip, you can see individual hairs and some stand out more than others, it's awesome.

[HardstyleRhythm]

ive did magic truffles like 8 times, but its time for the real work x) imma get myself a mushroom growkit soon i think..

[avedic]

@HardstyleRhythm magic...truffles?

[HardstyleRhythm]

@avedic yes, mushrooms are now forbidden here in holland, but there still are truffles which are legal, you see the video called Philosopher stones visual effect on the right from this movie? that r truffles xD sorry for my bad english

[21310085abc]

im waiting for the day of taking dmt :p

[WelcometoLockerz]

hey man i smoke alot of weed but i never tried shrooms, and i want to try shrooms but im kinda scared.. any tips??

[eisenerballer]

YouTube you have forsaken me. Spent a while typing up a long questionarre on the best way to start and it trolls out and says it's to long. iPads don't show character count. Love the video

[LucidInThought]

Diggin' the Alex Grey, great video too, I've had some beautiful closed eye visuals from large amounts of cannabis, but I can imagine they would be nothing compared to mushrooms, I can't wait to go picking :D

[avedic]

@LucidInThought :) i'm always excited for people who haven't tried them yet. mushrooms are way beyond marijuana. way way way beyond. be sure to be in a safe, comforting, natural place. that's the best way to do it. you don't want any potential distractions at all. get ready to meet the soul of the universe itself! :)

[LucidInThought]

@avedic thanks for the advice, i can't wait :D

[LikeTotallyRich]

Marijuana evolved... i used to smoke 10s of times a day from 14yrs old to 22. Now i cant smoke anymore... than plant evolved to a greater teacher. You cant just use this to trip with your budy... the plant teach you stuff and sometime its painfull.

[21310085abc]

weed can make you trip....the last time i smoked some i swear to god, is was like shrooms. i experienced every ambience and state of mind of my life. like situations of my childhood or how certain movies made me feel. everything color wise seemed more animated enhanced and vibrant, and i didnt know my identity or what skin or a human was and i though of people as a mass of tubes and endpoints and i got super horny from the body high i was getting haha i went to bed at 8, 4hrs earlier than normal

[WelcometoLockerz]

@21310085abc yea i know what you mean i think i experienced a little bit of what shrooms is like from my first time smoking marijuana i smoked a whole joint to myself and i thought i was dieing lool

[avedic]

@WelcometoLockerz man...im jealous of you guys. i remember how it used to be like. my first time getting high was intense. the room seemed super 3d and just walking was beyond possible. the closed eye visuals were amazing and shroom-like. these days i just get paranoid. might have something to do with being arrested for marijuana possession, going to jail, and having to fork over thousands in fines. :P

then again, the creative aspect is still there, which is the most important part for me.

[thehen1100]

Matee im 15 and want to experience the hallucinations. Ive done weed and that pretty good but the ones i can not wait to is LSD and Shrooms. But i just want to know first! Explain what you saw in your best trip, what happend? and how long does a trip last? cheers

[avedic]

@thehen1100 My best trip was out in the woods. I recommend doing mushrooms out in nature, definitely. but, be careful you aren't around other people who might make you paranoid...it will be amplified massively when tripping. my best time, i saw...well, god. and i was an atheist. not god in any religious sense but, rather, i saw/felt/heard/sensed the deepest meaning of the universe and what reality itself is all about. it was VERY intense and lasted about 6 hours total. Quite worth it though.

[BrutalPodSmoker]

@avedic how much gram did u use

[avedic]

@BrutalPodSmoker about 4 grams the time it was most intense. sadly, i've yet to do it since then. i think i would do 5 or 6 next time.

[supamilk131905]

@thehen1100 This stuff will take u too gOD.... u try normal mushrooms i would say take 2grams for first time and see how u feel but dont do it somwhere around ppl u will trip out and time is slow i watch like 2hrs of shows and only 5mins passed by thats how slow time is.. its great just dont do it around ur family do it when u kno ur somewhere safe and at calm

[thehen1100]

@supamilk131905 Cheers :) but where can i get the RIGHT ones coz me and mates wanna go picking but i dont wanna get the wrong ones!

[Brant2493]

@thehen1100 i dont know what your trying to prove really... "ive done weed" you dont hallucinate off of marijuana and you cant do weed, you smoke it and or eat it tard

[thehen1100]

@Brant2493 Well how come everyone else understood what i meant you spastic! Meaning ive already tried a specific drug you wanker and yes you can hallucinate off weed look at oldspice 420s comment im pretty sure that in reality trees dont breathe and ive hallucinated off weed!

[Brant2493]

@thehen1100 take some shrooms and you will see what the world really looks like and realize what u said about tree's is very redundant, and ive been smokin at a pretty constant pace for 7 years, i guess it's possible but i doubt because it never happened to me, but i reaaallyy dont think you can hallucinate off bud

[avedic]

@Brant2493 You most certainly can hallucinate off pot. Granted, that only happened to me when I first started smoking. Nowadays, not so much. But, the 2nd time I ever had marijuana it was baked into brownies. I had two of those and was definitely going through what could be termed hallucinations. The whole world became a cartoon and visual dimensions were waaay off. It was pretty amazing. Sadly, my tolerance is such that I haven't experienced that since. Maybe a good reason to quit for a bit lol

[Brant2493]

@avedic you sound like a butt nigga and should just shut up ive ate brownies many times dude i dont know if i trust your logic

[avedic]

@Brant2493 My logic? It was an experience ass clown. Besides your inability to use punctuation, you can't tell me to shut up on my own fucking video. I really hope your real name is Brant...because that would be way too hilarious. Might be the douchiest name ever...right up there with Trevor. Keep eating those brownies, bro.

[Brant2493]

@avedic lol you gonna make fun of me for my name? hahahaha your hilarious dude and we all have freedom of speech so i will tell you to shut up on on your own fuckin video lol i'm just clearly stating my opinion and sorry for not using punctuation... you gonna give me an F? lol i'm just giving feedback homie, don't get all butt hurt.

[oldspice420]

never shroomed before but iv had these effects after i smoked a ton of weed. like when i stared at trees for a minute they began to breath and kinda warp around. and when i closed my eyes i saw a vibrant colorful vortex for about a second then i snaped out of it. makes me want to try lsd or shrooms now, the closed eye hallucinations are just wild.

[avedic]

@oldspice420 lucky...I remember weed having a similar effect on me when I first started...but it has since worn off. Maybe I just need to cut back lol...

As for mushrooms...the visuals are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAY more intense than weed lol. In a good way! This video doesn't even come close to actually capturing what it's like. It's intensely 3D and colorful and REAL and an all-around ineffable experience. Try some soon...you'll love it. :)

[oldspice420]

@avedic yeah i was fascinated by the hallucination that the weed gave me but was upset that it was only a flash. although i might do lsd since its safer and i hear you can control yourself easily if you dont take a large dose

[avedic]

@oldspice420 good call. I've only done acid once, but I loved it. It made the whole world soft and super colorful and clouds would morph...there were even a few times where it seemed like time wasn't behaving normally....like I would feel like I was jumping to the past, future, or looping through a moment. It was odd. But mushrooms were ALOT more "spiritual" for me than acid. I mean, I talked to these eternal cosmic beings that told me what reality is all about lol...

[zackjp]

is 3 grams enough to trip out

[avedic]

@zackjp depends on a few things....most of all the mushrooms themselves. I've had 4 grams before and it did hardly a thing. The best and most profound trip, the one this video was made about, happened off about 4 grams. So, take that for what it is. It also depends on who you're with, where you are(these 2 are way way more important than you might realize...you'll regret being around assholes once you really start tripping.) Also, depends on if you've eaten before or not.

[tubeituped]

The great outdoors is the best place to experience this wonder drug from nature. You will realize again and again how beautiful the earth is. Down side to that is you will find out that everything that we need is found in nature and we don't need all of this materialistic crap that we have now, and it's depressing how we have ruined out planet. Once you get back from the trip you will probably like your materialistic crap that you have. Shrooms can help you find the source of any issue facing U

[SmokeCheck4]

this is a good video and like everyones comments and i read your discription Avedic all very accurtae. Shrooms is definately overlooked and given bad rep by society. They exist naturally it from nature and the experience is truly a mind blowing experience. I encourage everyone to be with people they trust do it indoors and home where you dont have to worry about goin any where or anyone coming. the setting is key very key. Just remember it is not real or maybe it is but wow it really awesome.

[SooperPanda]

I myself have had many of psilocybe mushroom experiences, to this day i can count up how much ive induced but itd be somewhere around the higher end of a pound maybe two. I love taking high doses and you dont really have to starve yourself.. a few hours of fasting will do just fine. i recomend going in a dark room and just lettin your mind run wild.

[avedic]

cool. :) i seriously cannot wait for experience #5. it's an amazing substance.

[jw22345]

next time u dose i would highly recommend doing 4-5 grams (dried). if u do this you will experience everything that the mushroom has to offer. i did 4g about a month ago and i saw things that no man has ever seen or will ever see again. i didnt eat the entire day though so i had a pretty bad body load. lesson learned. i had insane cev's too, one of the things i remember were blue and orange fractals, moving around and shifting.

its an experience that shouldnt be overlooked by society any more.

[ohsnapitsmaryyy]

wow, closest replication to an actual mushroom trip i have seen. i experienced closed eye visuals very similar to those on my last trip...patterns interweaving and moving backwards into space

[odra10]

really accurate

[spishcadet]

pretty cool from what i can see baby :) that shot of the tree actually looks a lot like the tree we saw while we were sitting on that bench! <3
