Last night I had my third 25i trip. My first trip consisted of a 1mg tab at the start, with a redose of 1mg at around t+6H. Being that this was my third trip ever, I never fully completed my trip report because I kind of lost myself in the beauty. I really noticed the potential this drug has for music on this trip. Here's an incomplete trip report from the first 25i trip:
Never before have I seen visuals as I did with 25i. My experience with psychedelics is a short list consisting only of two acid trips.
I smoked a small bowl just before dropping; I’ve heard there is a noticeable feeling of nausea during the come up.
T+0:00 - First tab is between my upper lip and gum and I can immediately feel the numbness taking effect. I planned to spend the trip listening to music and playing video games for the most part. For now I am watching a friend play Dead Space, a game I previously completed and know (so I’m not necessarily worried about having a bad trip).
T+0:15 – Starting to feel a bit less normal now. There’s a strong cold sensation of nausea in my stomach, but it’s not difficult to keep distracted from it. The come up on 25i is VERY quick compared to LSD.
T+0:30 – Feeling full effects with trails and breathing of walls/ceiling. I have never gotten such smooth and fluid trails on a trip before this, and watching Dead Space is getting a little overwhelming. I decide to leave and begin listening to music. My first album is Between The Buried & Me’s self titled, first album.
Music sounds incredible on this drug; it’s almost indescribable how much I am enjoying this album right now. Everything sounds very open and free and awesome. The ceiling is where most of my visual focus is, creating the most beautiful fractals and patterns I have ever seen.
T+1:30 – Back to watching Dead Space. Colors are looking AWESOME and it’s really easy to just sit back and watch this. My friend and I are talking about pretty much nothing while he plays, just joking about the game and how utterly amazing I feel. As he plays a smoke a few more bowls, loving the effects that psychedelics have on smoking. I can smoke a whole bowl in one hit without coughing or feeling any sort of irritation in my throat.
T+2:30 – I’m now listening to The Silent Circus, another BTBAM album that has me floored in this state. I listen to about half of the album before I can’t lay still anymore and decide to go back to watching my friend play.
T+3:30 – I ask to play Skyrim, a game that is amazing while tripping. I played a month ago while tripping acid and loved how immersed I actually was. Concentrating in this game is downright impossible to do. I’m having TOO much fun just running around the world, appreciating all of the colors jumping out at me. Grass swayed realistically, shadows are blowing my mind, and interactions with NPC’s have me completely captivated.
T+4:30 – I’m in a cave and so confused about what I’m doing that I decide to quit and go outside for a bit. I pack another bowl and look over the city and sky, amazed at the light show before my eyes.
So, my second trip on 25i was spent mostly listening to music again because I love what this drug does for spacial positioning on well produced albums. There's not much to tell here, but the dose was a more modest 750ug.
Gender: Male
Weight: 125 lbs
Age: 19
So last night, I started with 750ug again, but 40 minutes later decided to take the other 250ug for a 1mg dose. I started by watching Colors_LIVE, a live album by Between the Buried and Me that's about 2 hours long. As the first set played, I noticed the usual creeping effects. Colors were enhanced, sound felt as if it surrounded me, light tracers and trails were forming slowly and strongly.
About 50 minutes in I was coming up pretty well, at about a ++ at this point. After 30 more minutes or so I decide to pause the concert and just watch some TV. The come up is getting incredibly overwhelming at this point, so I turn on something familiar, Friends. It's the thanksgiving episode, and I'm laughing hysterically at everything that happens. +++ and it is at this point that the trip becomes a little dissociative, and time dilation is doing crazy things to me. I look at the clock when I feel a considerable amount of time has passed, but usually it's never more than 7 or 8 minutes. When Friends ends I try to find something else.
Ah! Dumb and Dumber! I haven't seen this movie in 4 years or so and began watching right when they swap vehicles. This movie is a MASTERPIECE while tripping your balls off. Everything that happens is hilarious and familiar but induces a lot of thought as to what is all going on in this movie. Here is where I'm getting some VERY dissociative effects, kind of leaving my body and just becoming a point in space. A full ++++ is taking place and a couple of people come downstairs. Communication is utterly impossible as I'm peaking and I can barely keep a linear train of thought with the movie playing in the background. They leave me to myself seeing as I'm in my own world and I begin listening to an album in 5.1.
WHOA this is most of the reason I wanted to trip in the first place. Listening to this album sober puts me into a trance with the clever mixing and I wanted to see how spacial awareness was on 25i. It is incredible. I'm casually talking with a few friends on the computer as the music sucks me in. The trip mellows into a steady +++/++++ at this point and most of the vasoconstriction is gone and I'm feeling very euphoric. At the end of this album I decide to continue talking to friends and just hang out for 30 minutes or so. I then get up to move around, and decide to clean up the basement a little.
After cleaning up, I decide to listen to BTBAM's most recent album, Parallax II: Future Sequence. Pure magic. The fractalling visuals and breathing objects all around me swirl and undulate with the music as I just lay back with my mouth wide open. Closing my eyes really dissociates myself into the music, as I feel one with it. I can't even come close to dissociating like this on two hits of acid, but that's an entirely different experience.
I switch to listening to The Sauce by Pantyraid. Seriously some of the best music I have listened to while tripping. When things get very glitchy, my visuals get ultra intense and pull me back into a ++++ at times. I smoke a few bowls as I lay down to get to sleep easier, and listen to some Motion City Soundtrack as I wind down. At this point it's about 8 hours since I dropped and the visuals are very light, still a gentle mind fuck, but getting to sleep wasn't too bad at all.
Overall this trip was extremely eye opening for myself. This stuff is a serious psychedelic, and I don't think a mixture would be a wise choice with this one. The full agonization of the 5HT2-A receptor is a big reason for this.
It's worth noting I am lucky I didn't lose my mind on my first trip, and I URGE anybody trying this drug to start low, like in the 300ug range. There really is a lot of unpredictability in this drug, and the dissociation at the peak can be frightening if you're not ready for the feeling.
On a side note, cryptix420 should really slow his roll.
