As a psychopharmacology major, I took this adventure very seriously and was determined to have a great trip

I was at UT-Austin in the early 90s, when I decided to eat shrooms for the first time.

As a psychopharmacology major, I took this adventure very seriously and was determined to have a great trip. I had the tools and the talent. My suitemate had just returned from Mexico with an assload of pills: valium, vicodan, all the usual suspects...

We each kicked it off with 10 mg valium and 5mg hydrocodone to insulate us from any possible panic reactions or other unpleasant weirdness. It worked brilliantly and 45 minutes after the pills, we went to our friend Blake’s room. Blake, as an experienced shroomer, already had them a-brewing when we arrived. We poured a cup and even with the sugar, it tasted like ass but it was drinkable.

I was not apprehensive in the slightest -- thank you pills! I noticed a potent head rush come on pretty quickly. Then it left before returning but even stronger.

This time the floor looked like it was at about a 30 degree slope. This visual was so real to me that I literally fell ass end over tea kettles trying to compensate for the slope! I got up and we laughed our asses off for a while. Then the shroom effects subsided some but when the next rush came, it was so massive it felt like I was growing taller. My head was like a balloon stuck on the ceiling. Then I noticed how beautiful the girls became; especially Ginny and Amy.

They were hotties stone sober, but on this shit, they were goddess-like. I had an idolizing, kooky schoolboy crush thing going on. I was so taken by super hottie Ginny that even though I talked to her all the time, now I was stepping all over my dick. I made the stupendous decision to inqure with her the following day.

As the trip was winding down, we took another round of pills and I hit the sack. The cool thing is when I got up the next day, I felt BETTER than a normal morning and was full of confidence. That weekend, I hooked up with Ginny!
