Ahh the memories.. lived in Japan from 97-2000 on Jet. Walked around Shibuya on the orientation nights and saw a person selling 2cb and musshies on the first night. Didn’t believe it cause I though drugs were a bit of a nono. Went to an outdoor psytrance party in gifu (Strong sun moon festival) with Juno Reactor and there were about 5000 people there and loads of people selling musshies and then found out they were legit-well kind of and contacts for parties and mushies in Tokyo. Found Conscious dreams in Okubo with big displays of Hawaian, Spanish and mexican musshies (Hawians were deft the strongest). Bought shit loads-they also had all the 2ct series drugs plus Mescaline and AMT. Even had the discount card-buy 5 get 1 free haha. Found loads of good parties-Yokohama bay hall, Warehouse Odaiba and an amazing hippie drug culture that I thought didnt exist in Japan. It was fantatic.Went to parties about 1 a month in Tokyo-wickedly good parties… anyway the more we went to parties the more we met different people and the better the drugs got.Loads of MDMA-Israellis will sell this-ask any of them and you can score and loads of acid-very good quality-from the crystal. Loads of parties-outdoor ones, man what a culture I didnt have a clue that existed, had such a blast for a bout 3 years. Its a shame its all gone now but Im sure there is still a wicked culture there

lived in tokyo from 98 to 99. bought shrooms a few times from the guy who always seemed to be selling them on the street in shibuya. they were pretty weak though. did them once with a friend visiting from boston and we went to tokyo disneyland. what a mistake. waiting in line for the damned space mountain for TWO HOURS while high was clearly an amateur move. one time though my classmates and i found a guy dealing the real deal shrooms (he said they were from mexico) in a record store in kichijoji. now those bad-boys were fun, we ate them in a beautiful cemetery and walked to shinjuku-gyoen. i recall thinking that i was inside of a j.d. salinger novel. it was a great trip, my friends and i all got blasted and we were in more or less natural surroundings so the stimuli was at a minimum…..i had heard that there was a guy in my dorm (i was a junior abroad student from the states) who got accosted by a cop for j-walking late at night in roppongi. the cops took his i.d. then searched him. i heard he had a bag of just a little “shake” (remnants of weed) on him. he ended up getting kicked out of the dorm AND doing a month in prison. getting shipped back to the states like that has got to be embarrassing – so be careful! the authorities, while sometimes acting as arbitrary enforcers of the law, do not f— around regarding illegal narcotics. and the justice system is not even as remotely tilted in the defendant’s direction as western countries….though after i left japan a lot of the kids in my dorm got heavy into ecstasy and blow so shows you what i know.

came to Japan 2000…did lots of mushrooms…had no problems whatsoever other than having to repaper my closet doors after coloring them with a red whiteboard marker to make the handles look like they were bleeding and having to wash the light over the kitchen sink because I had colored the entire thing red…great times, if you could handle yr drugs you had no problems…dumbass actors trying to fly ruined it for everyone…wish i could get some now…

I lived in Japan 9 years ago, living in Nagoya for a little over a year. The times I did find any type of drugs (legal or not), it just seemed to be a scary experience. I was at a friend\’s apartment the first time I smoked some pot. Her friend came through the door and started stuffing towels around all doors and windows. He told us that if anyone even smelled it in the building, we are all going to jail. Yeah, pass the \”j\” after saying that…now I am really ready to get high. Other times or most times were in clubs, where ex was flying around like flies in a barnyard. Friends and I traveled to a music festival east of Tokyo way up in the mountains. There was so much acid it made my mind melt and got to the point of becoming not so fun. Of course, I have to say that festival still has immeasurable memories and some from the drugs that were eaten and smoked. That was the only time, I really felt free and unafraid of my surroundings. Just writing this, makes my heart hurt. Nothing will ever replace those memories (a swirling brain or just calm and sober); even the ones that were erased by the acid on the mountain are treasured!

Came across this page when searching the net tonight as I am heading to Japan in a few days for the second time and was wondering about mushrooms/psychedelics in Japan.

Basically the first time I was there I was basically on a 2 week bender out in Shibuya pretty much every night heavy drinking and hitting up all the clubs. One niht in CLub Atom I was fairly drunk and was dancing to some crazy psy-trance when 2 Japanese guys came up to me and started repeating “Ganja, ganja” and laughing. As I walked back towards the bar they came up to me again and started asking if I like ganja and charrie. Charlie, what they weere trying to say is slang for coke in the UK, where I am from. I thouht drugs were a maor no-no in Japan but these guys got me excited so I asked a bit more about ti and the guys said they would ask for me. I have no idea why they ust came up and started asking me to begin with though. Basically the club closed and as I was leaving one of the guys came up to me and said he can get me ecstacy. I told my friend and he as interested so the guy took me down the road to meet some very shady looking guy with full body tattoos, standing there with his hands in his pockets ust staring through me not saying a word. I started thinking the whole thing was a bad idea and told the guy it was cool.

Another thing I was wanting to mention was that I used to order a lot of 2c-i, 2ct7, 2ct2, 2ce, 5MeO-DMT, etc to the UK from an online source that was located in Shinjuku. So I know that stuff must be available in Japan and I read kinoko’s post above alluding to that. I was wondering if anyone has any information on any of the 2c analogues and their availability/legality on Japan. I understand running around taking drugs is a stupid move but I would love to have a day/night of tripping in Tokyo, I imagine it would be pretty fucking insane.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

my e-mail is ecky@hushmail.com if anyone wants to share anything.

You guys are both right. To anyone considering psychedelics, you should try them at a safe, quiet setting with good friends, preferrably with at least one person sober to look out for you.

I didn’t write about it in this article, but earlier that same day we ate some Mexican shrooms (the weaker variety) and had an amazing experience at Kaiyukan, the aquarium in Osaka. The penguins’ fur was so shiny and beautiful, and the seal’s eyes looked so deep and intelligent. I felt like I was communicating with him (he was underwater, I was on the other side of the glass). When I moved my water bottle, I discovered I could make him do back flips and turn his body just like I was turning the bottle. Amazing animal. I was drawing a small crowd, and some kids asked if I worked there. Even after I was done playing with him, he followed me around wanting to play more. The best part was the jellyfish, under those trippy blacklights. They look like creatures from another planet (even if you’re not on anything). So, yeah, I do think that shrooms are better in a natural environment.

As for my buddy and his strange behavior, he kept exclaiming, “I’m controlling space and time!” and he was dancing with all sorts of girls, ripping off his Superman shirt to expose his hairy chest, etc (he works out). He was the life of the party until he took things overboard. I wouldn’t describe his experience as a bad trip. Just a bad decision, he he.
