The narrator shares their experience of trying hallucinogenic mushrooms for the first time in Amsterdam. They purchased the mushrooms at a special store where they were given instructions on how to consume them. After eating 4 out of 8 mushrooms, the narrator and their friends waited for about 45 minutes before they started to feel the effects. They experienced intense visuals, including seeing a pink tree, phosphorescent grass, and detailed faces. They also lost perception of their surroundings, thinking they were at a great height when they were actually standing on the ground. The narrator decided not to consume the second part of the ration, choosing to calm down by drinking kiwi juice with orange and eating Dutch chocolate. They eventually returned to normal after about an hour. The narrator concludes by recommending that anyone curious about trying hallucinogenic mushrooms should do so in a safe place with nothing to do, and to take things calmly and in moderation.
