..hehe I've been typing nonstop since this happened
A lot of this goes without saying, but before you read about my experimentation I want to thank you guys for all your help. All of your guidance, pointers, etc… definitely helped me through my first trials. I can easily see that without the right preparation this substance could dole out some heavy experiences which might not be welcome to all.
Interestingly enough, I'm finding that actually transcribing the experience is markedly more difficult than with any other substance I have worked with.
Here is what I have consumed:
Thursday 11:42PM: 4mg freebase out of bulb. **no resin at this point although there were 7 participants in this trial, 5 of whom shared this bulb with me (2 others insufflated their doses). While I did weigh out my respective doses, there was always a considerable amount of resin left in the bulb after the first hit.
Friday 12:30AM: 3mg; 2:20AM: 5mg. There were a few resin hits in between, although nothing as substantial as the last 5mg measured dose. A friend ended up bringing over a nitrous tank at 3 in the morning.
Saturday: 2:15AM; I’m an hour into 4 hits of dank LSD. 4mg freebase out of new bulb **two smoke partners. I lost track of time after this point, although I remember weighing out two more low doses and one 9mg dose. Two resin hits were taken as well.
On that note I think I’m going to use an odd analogy (so bare with me!) in attempts to describe the ‘high’ I get from smoked doses.
0-20s Breathing becomes immediately labored, heart rate jumps. I release myself to the impending experience.
20s-3m Depending on the dose, the size of the psychedelic brick that hits you here may vary. At higher doses (6-8mg) it feels as though someone just threw a brick through your front windshield. At low doses (<=4mg) it is enough to be felt, although not generally that immediate and abrasive—more like some pebbles being innocently kicked up against your windshield whilst leaving a crack that can’t go unfixed. At this point I release any remaining tension and allow the varying body load to position itself above my chest.
3-10minutes: It feels as though the ‘pieces’ of my windshield are in the hands of an old friend and trusted teacher: I can be sure that I’m safe, but I remain willing and ready to hear what they have to say. The grip does not lessen, but instead lifts itself from my chest and redistributes throughout the rest of my body. The phenomena of the restructuring begins. It can be extremely uncomfortable at times, but it does not go without reward. I often take deep, life-affirming breaths that seem consistent with my state of mind:
holy fuck. During this period I am usually fixated on the intense body load but find odd glimpses of intense euphoria and other indescribable feelings that come and go without hesitation.
10-30minutes: The restructuring is coming to an end. As the pieces come together, I find the body load decreasing, and a state of euphoria begins to creep in and make itself at home. I enjoy this headspace with my eyes open and closed. If you are to mix this with marijuana I recommend you do so now. Synergy is powerful, but nice. If smoked too early in the experience it can potentiate nausea and other uncomfortable side effects so tread carefully.
30+ Pleasant afterglow that can be utilized in a variety of ways. Nausea may or may not return.
Synergistically, 5meo is amazing with LSD. The effects potentiate my visuals considerably and the low dose body loads turn into a sedative, yet deeply satisfying body high. While watching the sun rise this morning my immediate field of vision turned into a mosaic unlike any I have seen on LSD before. The headspace is quite nice as well. I talked myself into oblivion with a few friends as I normally do, although tonight I also made some definite strides in some personal avenues that I have been working on as of late. I highly recommend this combo
As for the individual low-dose sessions themselves, I feel as though these notes should satisfy what I experienced. The high dose, on the other hand, is much more difficult for me to fully describe. I have written up some preliminary notes, although I'm still attempting to wrap my head around what occurred. I'll save that full story for another time.
