Sensory Deprivation While Taking Psilocybin Mushrooms

August 11, 2014 by Jadiel Aedo 13 Comments

I recently visited the floatlab in Venice, CA for my regular isolation tank visit. However, this time I consumed 7 grams of psilocybin mushrooms. I stepped inside the tank and lied down in the salt water. I immediately begin to float. It’s completely dark, and since my ears were underwater, I couldn’t hear anything either.

About 30 minutes into my relaxation, the mushrooms began to kick in.  I began to regret taking such a large quantity of mushrooms. I contemplate getting out and making myself throw up, but it’s too late. I start to freak out a little.  An insane amount of colors and complicated geometrical shapes begin to form across space. I hear trans music at full volume. At this point, I’m not having a pleasant experience. I notice my body isn’t relaxed anymore. It’s tensed up. So I take a deep breath and calm myself down. I begin to focus on my breathing. soon those intense colors and shapes become beautiful. And the loud trans music becomes a softer, drumming sound.

The rest of my experience was amazing. As I reflected on the things that make me the happiest. And I realize how much work I have ahead of me in order to become the happiest and healthiest person I can be. At the end of this 3 hour experience, I felt refreshed and relaxed. Like an overwhelming burden had been lifted from off my shoulders. However, I knew that if I didn’t put what I learned into effect immediately, it would’ve all been for nothing.

    What did you learn from it? If you don’t mind me asking? Did these thoughts just come to mind or did you see something that told you what needed to be changed?

    3 hours later you were refreshed after taking 7 grams of mushrooms? either the level of psilocybin was very low or somethings stinky

      I agree, 7’gm is a hell-a lot! Top that with the tank? And 3 hours later refreshed? Those were stinky shrooms.

    That was the shortest, least descriptive trip report I have ever read. I know that sens dep can shorten the psychedelic experience a bit, but from 7 grams, you should trip at least 5 hours.
    Either you just eyeballed the dose and mistakenly called it seven grams, or the shrooms were not that good.

    7 G’s is a massive amount. I take 2 G’s and will last me a good 5 hours at least. If I did what you did I would need pages and pages to describe my experience. Especially in a sensory deprivation tank. Bizarre article

    I’d be careful with mushrooms and dep tanks. You’ll come out a ape-man sooner or later.

    LOOOOOOOOOOOL!
    THIS IS UNPLEASENT !
    ARE YOU FUCKING RETARDED?
    HOW ABOUT VISUALIZING DEATH FOR 3 HOURS.
    YEAH YOU FELT UNCOMFORTABLE…..

    I’m shocked at this article, definelty NOT a genuine trip of a lifetime.
    As was expected upon reading title.

    Seems highly underwhelming.

    Reading about someone else’s trip is as useless as reading about someone else’s dream. Why did I bother?

    I have my doubts about the validity of this article. 7 grams is a HUGE amount for iso. 3 hours? Maybe peak in 3 hours. Ive done 5 in a tent in the woods at night and was still tripping at sunrise.
