No other experiences on this?
I don't know if it is particular to me but I found it very disappointing.
Same here. I enjoyed the experience, mind you, I just wasn't impressed.
Do mind, I only have some experience with LSD.
Pro's:
- Visually impressive. Very impressive. Hieroglyphs in rays of sun that shone through curtains.
- Very grounded, less of a headfuck
- No post trip blues
Cons:
Alas, the pro's correlate with the cons:
- I enjoy "zooming in" on a visual aspect but ETH LAD left no room to focus on clouds or a pattern in a beam of sunlight. It was like being at a parade, with screamy, flashy lights all over you.
- being grounded also means less or in my case no headspace. No room to elaborate on aspects of life, no room to explore certain corners of your mind.
Where LSD is outside of the box, I experienced ETH-LAD as inside the box.
- less musically accessible. Where LSD opens up a large spectrum of songs, picking you up so you can tzirlt about in a song, I had to really dig to get the most out of song.
A bit frustrating, I felt like I missed out.
- short lived (in contrast with LSD), I think I was back at baseline with no OEV or CEV or headspace 6 hours after dropping.
- Uneasy: the jitters I get at the come up in LSD, lasted throughout most of the trip, making me uncomfortable. It wasn't until I stopped rolling, until I felt at ease.
It's the set and setting and the company that really made things enjoyable, but probably won't try it again. In hindsight, I rather would have went with LSD. My friends really filled in the blanks though.
My buddies really did enjoy it though, so maybe it's just me or my blotter that was poorly saturated, idunno.
I suppose my spirit is more compatible with lysergamides?
