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:
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.
