Wunder Mushroom Gummies with Kava. Trip Report & Product Review
I'll start with a quick product reveiw.
Number of gummies: 10
Smell: Amazing, was hopeful that the taste wasn't as bad as I had read.
Taste: Terrible. As bad or worse than I had read in other reviews. I gagged getting these down, the grape flavor barely exists and tastes like it was imagined by someone who's never tasted grape flavoring.
Trip Report:
I ordered these from Wunder and got them in earlier in the week so when I had a early day off work on Friday I decided I would give them a try. When I arrived home I was in a great mood and decided I'd take the entire bag.
4:00pm
Took all 10 gummies.
5:00pm
Nothing, decided to turn on a comedy special.
6:00pm
Start noticing some slight auditory distortion, minor enough I thought it could have just been an issue with the audio on the special.
6:30pm
Still zero body high or euphoria. Still zero body load. Mild uptick in relaxation I'm thinking this was the kava. Auditory distortions are very noticeable now. No OEVs or CEVs.
7:00pm
I start to dissociate. Minor at this point.
7:15pm
I am now watching myself laugh at the comedy special I have playing. I'm seeing myself act but not actually experiencing the actions.
7:30pm
I get a call from a friend saying he's having friends over and is throwing some steaks on the grill and invites me over. I inform him over my current situation, he laughs and says he'll be there in 30 to pick me up. I watch and listen to myself have this conversation but don't feel like it's me actually having it. I get up to go get a quick shower and change, it's at this moment I realize I'm a passenger in my own body. It was seeing myself walk that made this click. I spend the next 30min watching myself shower and get ready but feel and experience non of it.
8:00pm
Friend arrives to pick me up. We drive to his house. I watch and listen to myself have a very strange conversation with my friend about how I know I'm tripping, and that I'm doing things but not experiencing them, but I'm aware of the fact, but I'm mentally and emotionally just riding along in a body that is just doing things that I'm not experiencing or feeling, so everything feels kind of not real. He asks if I'm going to be okay. I see myself shrug.
8:15pm
We arrive at his house, he gets a beer and gives me water, turns music on and starts prepping dinner. The Auditory distortion is back with the music. More friends arrive. Everyone is made aware of my altered state. I now have 6 trip sitters. I have good friends.
8:30pm
Steaks, chicken, corn, and green beans are on the grill. Baked potatoes in the oven and salad mix on the counter. Now this was the weirdest part for me. For some reason knowing I was smelling good food cooking but not actually smelling it almost sent me into a panic attack. Not experiencing smell or physical feeling and the constant auditory distortion nearly broke me. It made me feel like I wasn't me since I was now so distanced from my physical body. Thankfully a few of my friends noticed I was starting to panic and got me inside where it was quiet and calmed me down.
8:40pm
Food is done. I'm still a little messed up about not being me anymore. I'm not allowed to cut or prepare my own food.
9:00pm
I ate. I tasted non of it. Which is still weird to think about. I know I ate. I know physically I tasted everything. But I can't tell you how anything tasted. I didn't actually experience myself eating or tasting. I saw myself do it.
9:15pm
I feel myself start to merge back with my body. Auditory distortions start fading.
9:30pm
I'm myself again. But I feel weirdly uncomfortable. Like my mind is struggling to process the weird duality I've been experiencing for the last five and a half hours. I'm mentally exhausted. I tell my buddy, he tells me to just go sleep it off in the guest room. I down a big glass of water and I'm out like a light the moment my head hits the pillow.
6:00am Saturday
Woke up from some intensely weird dreams. Felt physically fine. No headache. No nausea. No other negative physical side effects. My mind still felt very uncomfortable when I'd think about the dissonance between myself and my body I was experiencing the night before though.
Overall, not a bad experience. Though honestly not one I am in any hurry to repeat. It's the first time I have ever had any kind of dissociation to that degree and I'm still feeling some minor mental dissonance three days later. . It's like my mind knows and has the knowledge of everything that happened. But the physical experience isn't in the same book so its taking time to merge everything together. It just gives a strange mind feel. Not sure what's in these as my only experiences with psychedelics to this point are LSD, Molly, and mushrooms about 20 yrs ago and more recently metocin, ie Road Trip and Xum.
And now that I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering if the reason I never felt any kind of body high, euphoria, or body load or come up is because I was already dissociating and didn't realize until I noticed the Auditory distortions. And when I thought i was mildly dissociating at the time I was actually already physically separated and didn't realize.
