When I was 17 I was in my last year of high school. I was living at my parents house, and periodically exploring psychedelics. I tried to do it as safely as I could but looking back I was definitely pretty reckless. 

My friend gave me 14g of shrooms and warned me that they were pretty strong, I wasn't that concerned. I had done 1g and 1.5g before and found it enjoyable, so I decided to do 3g.

I ground it up and put it in a water bottle filled with OJ. Started drinking it over the course of about an hour and was having a pretty good time. I decided to make myself some tea. I steeped the tea bag in the mug, left it in, and added some honey. 

I got on discord and was talking to a friend, while sipping the tea. Somehow, the teabag broke open and a bunch of little tea leaves spread out in the tea. I took another sip, not knowing this, and started to cough once the tea leaves hit my throat. 

I was coughing and coughing, and once I stopped coughing I couldn't tell whether I was still breathing or not. I thought I choked and had died. I lost complete touch with reality and saw my own funeral. I thought how awful of a person I was, what I'd done to my family, I had never felt so dark and down in my whole life.

Eventually I reached over to my phone and texted my mom 'Help, I think I'm dead'. After putting the phone down I couldn't remember whether what I had done was real. I was just sitting on my bed fading in and out of reality.

Eventually my mom came in and sat with me. She asked me what I took, I said mushrooms, then she just held me. It took me about two more hours to come down, and when I realized that I was alive I started weeping.

It felt like being born again, I felt so much joy after feeling so dark. Definitely the most powerful emotional experience of my entire life.

I have not dabbled in mushrooms since that moment.

I think overall it's a good thing, but also an important cautionary tale about dosages and having a sitter. The smallest things can turn a good trip into a nightmare

Word, I’m glad you were okay in the end.
