(2ci?) First psychedelic trip- UNEXPECTED

[deidara]

Yesterday evening my boyfriend and I bought a half gram of what we were told was mdma. It looked like mdma, and the people we bought it from told us them they an ecstasy like experience from it so I thought we had no reason to doubt them. We are IV users and have never injected mdma before so we wanted to try it. I have been doing a lot of research on injecting mdma to prepare for this.

When we got home, we thought we would each do half a pt, but wanted to be safe injecting a new drug so we each did about half of that (a quarter pt)(im not sure the mgs) As soon as I pulled the needle out of my arm I started to trip hard. It was not molly. I have only used psychedelics twice in my life, and in low doses so I am not at all experienced with them and have never really "tripped" before. Since I was expecting to be rolling instead of tripping, I started freaking out because I had no idea what I had just injected. My boyfriend is very experienced in psychedelics, and tried to calm me down by telling me that its a hallucinogen, and lets wait a few minutes and see what happens before we start freaking out and telling people what we just did.

This calmed me down a little, but about two minutes after I did the shot I ran into the bathroom to puke. I was puking for at least 20 minutes, and my boyfriend was simulanteously puking in the sink. Well once we got all the sick out of us, I realized that I was in for my first real trip and I might as well enjoy it.

My boyfriend put on Shpongle and some trippy ass computer screen visuals, and it looked so amazing. I felt like I could dive right into the screen and swim around. The music sounded so amazing in my head, I could hear each separate instrument and it's exact melody. I layed down in his lap and closed my eyes and was having crazy visuals through my eyelids it seemed like.

After about an hour of laying around listening to music, we decided to go on a walk around our apartment complex. We walked to the pool and since no one was there, I really wanted to get in so I took off my shoes and socks and started walking down the steps in the water when I realized I still had all my clothes on haha. I was so paranoid that every person we saw knew what we were doing and was judging us. We sat out by the pool for a while and it felt so good to be out in nature, I felt like everything was right with the world. My brain was going a hundred miles per second and I was having so many amazing realizations about myself and life and my role in the world. (sucks that they are so hard to remember lol)

When it started getting dark we started walking back to our apartment, and I was seeing crazy trails from all the lights. I kept thinking spiders were all around me (spiders are my worst fear) but when I thought about that I could tell myself, they're not real, remember? I am hallucinating. So it was kinda like I could influence the trip which way it turned. Like whenever I started trippin about negative shit like thinking everyone is judging me, I would just remind myself that I am an adult and no one has the right to judge me, everyone has something that they really enjoy, mine just happens to be taking drugs. IMO there is nothing wrong with that as long as I'm not fucking up my life. (which I have been lately, I've been struggling to get off opiates) thats another reason it was scary, was because I don't think I am in the right headspace for a psychedelic trip and probably would have turned it down for now had I known what it was.

With all that being said, it was an amazing experience nonetheless. Now I understand why psychedelics are not to be taken lightly. Next time I decide to trip I will be mentally prepared. I realized so much about myself while I was on it, like this voice in my head (i think it was my own) kept telling my that I don't need opiates, I can get off them and live happily without them.

It took about 30 min to reach its peak, we peaked for about 4 hours, then started to comedown. We smoked a few bowls to help us comedown, but it was kinda mellow, like it kinda just slowly faded away. I talked to a friend online and was having so many feeling of empathy and hope and shit like that. Then I went and layed down in my bed and when I closed my eyes I was still having cool visuals. I was thinking about a ton of shit in my mind, like a lot good and a lot bad. I have a lot going on in my life right now and I think whats what brought that about. Anyways it took me a couple hours to fall asleep, but I slept good after that.

I am not looking for anyone to help clarify what I took, because that is against the rules. I simply wanted to document my first psychedelic experience especially since it was unexpected. There is no way to know exactly what it is unless I got it tested (although people we have talked to about it seem to think its in the 2c family)

I discovered a new cattegory of drugs and I love them! I can't wait to try LSD in higher doses (I've only ever done 1 tab) but know I need to be in a clear state of mind to do that. If anyone read this, thanks.

just space out the experiences, don't do them too often or you'll lose the magic real fast.

you can trip twice a week no problem, it's not like MDMA. anyway highly doubt it was a 2c given the amount but either way, glad you enjoyed your experience, i imagine IVing a psychedelic for your first experience would be rather intense but you handled it well. Try to be a bit more careful when buying drugs from people, as they often don't tell you the truth. If you want to play with psychs there are plenty of vendors that are more trustworthy than your average dealer IMO.

Dude you can not trip twice a week, lol. It gets old real fast, try doing that with a 2C, you'll see. It's fun at first, but you'll quickly see it lose all complexity and joy.

Yeah I agree, I don't think I could trip twice a week. Maybe twice a month at most. That was such a special experience, and if I did it too often I think it would lose a lot of fun.

i tripped twice a week for many years lol you just have to double your dose on the second night, does it get old? yes but will you still trip? most certainly. So long as it's not an NBOMe the first night, you'll be fine to trip the second night and if you triple your dose, you can easily do a third night. Puts a lot of wear and tear on the body.

Not to mention you could smoke DMT once a a day for a week and not notice any issues with tolerance

yeah it's not as special but it's not like MDMA, where it becomes complete shit if you use it too much. Tolerance to 5ht2a psychs is relatively forgiving, not like MDMA where your serotonin is drained like a vampire drinking your blood.

Hot damn! Your first real trip and its an unintentional IV shot at a dose of ~25 mg, which is a medium-strong dose for most 2Cs when used orally... and you handled it well too! I have to say, that's quite an impressive reaction. Congratulations then, for being so strong in the face of unexpected and potentially quite mentally damaging events! I'm going to hypothesize very confidently that you will absolutely love psychedelics, and are very well suited towards using them in a positive manner.

My reasons are thus:

First off, you managed to reject the initial panic with the input of your boyfriend. This is important because it means that you're receptive to others when you're tripping, so that if you ever do get the Fear with a capital-F that you can't evade on your own, you likely will be able to resolve the problem with the help of a sober trip-sitter or somebody else that is tripping.

That leads to my second point, that you were able to talk yourself down out of any hints of unpleasantness once you finished coming up and puked. This is evident from the mention of being rational about the potential paranoia that everybody knew what you were doing (tripping), and the spiders bit. I greatly value my ability to talk myself out of any unpleasantness in my state of mind while tripping; this is in my opinion the single most critical ability required for somebody to trip and consistently enjoy it.

Third, you decided to just go with the flow and enjoy it once you realized that there wasn't aything you could do about the fact that you'd be tripping quite hard for several hours. The skill of learning how to manipulate your mental state as mentioned in the last paragraph is critical, but the ability to realize when something isn't susceptible to change and thus has to be accepted is important too. Being able to take an unexpected or bad situation and find the positive in it is a very good thing for tripping, and life in general.

And finally, you managed to extract what sounds like a fair amount of personal insight without ever having had any real practice in learning how to produce something useful and relevant to normal life while in an altered psychedelic state also lends me the impression psyches and you will play well together. Also the ability to turn over and examine something potentially negative like opiate abuse in your mind without allowing that negativity to infect your mood and thus lead to a bad trip is great. I have had the exact same problem of being an opiate addict and though I'm extremely experienced at tripping, for a while I was apprehensive about whether I would be able to examine it in my mind without getting into a negative or depressive vibe tripping. Luckily my faith in my ability to do so while staying emotionally objective was well founded and it wasn't difficult at all, but having that trait in a first time newbie tripper is another thing entirely.

So all in all welcome to the world of psychedelics! This was a hell of a way to be introduced to it, but as we have all said you handled it like a champ, and I expect you'll be thrilled with what the diverse, awesome world of psychedelic compounds has to offer!

Cheers

Thanks for your positive feedback Deinonychus! That makes me feel good and confident that I can use psychedelics responsibly to enhance my life rather than destroy it like I do with opiates. I didn't realize this before, but psychedelics are in a COMPLETE class of their own, they are so much different that most other drugs. I really respect these substances and the people that use them responsibly
