Date: September 18th, 2010
Time: 5:30pm - 9:00pm
Drug: 4-acetoxy-dimethyltryptamine
Dose: 8mg
Location(s): Pittsburgh
I had my second experience with this chemical last Saturday. I decided to be cautious with the dosage again because my scale is kind of unpredictable (American Weigh Gemini-20). The last time I aimed for 7mg I had nice rolling psychedelia going on, this time I shot for 8 and it was somewhat less impressive. Dosage method was parachuting. I'll be concise, there isn't a whole lot to reflect on.
The peak took a little while to hit this time, full effects were up to steam by about an hour in. We were sitting on the grass in the plaza, the group consisted of myself, my girlfriend (who was sitting), and 3 dosed companions (Jamie and Dustin from the previous report as well as Meg, who has a bunch of experience with psychedelics). By the time we completed the walk I was feeling that characteristic lethargy, so as soon as we reached the grass I laid down, while the rest of the group remained seated. I turned my eyes to the sky, which was starting to pulse a little bit, while they started discussing the other people on the plaza. After about 15 minutes had elapsed, I was at a peak. I stared up into the previously blue sky and watched as all sorts of colors, mostly flashing reds greens and yellows flowed into the spaces between the clouds. I saw birds that were so high up in the sky I would've not normally noticed. I don't mean that this was a direct effect of the drug, but that I never see them because I rarely lay on my back and look at the sky for extended periods of time. Eventually it became hard to tell real birds from the sparkling dots that were taking up the periphery of my vision and slowly creeping into the non-periphery. I kept letting out sighs at the beauty of it all. Meanwhile my friends were talking negatively and positively about various people who were enjoying the plaza. When they were talking about some woman who was apparently wearing something crazy I told them to stop being assholes, and that it was harshing my vibe (like, my vibes man, yeah). I turned from my back to my stomach so that I could converse with people, but this changed the character of the trip greatly. Apparently the grass had been slightly wet, and when I turned over I suddenly felt very cold and shivery. I laid with my face in the grass staring at the blades for a while, then I sat up to examine the trees at the Carnegie Library and the nearby Cathedral of Learning. More like Cathedral of Leaning...ha. Shit was all bendy. A little girl was flying kite and I longed to fly my stunt kite. The sky began to look menacing as the sun was going down, and I asked whether or not I had permission to shit my pants in public if a tornado were to form a short distance away from us. We got up and made our way to Schenley Park so that we could smoke some bud I had just bought on the come-up of the trip when it got a little darker. After we stood up to leave the plaza, the interesting part of the trip was essentially over for me. I still felt very spacy and definitely "high" on something that was definitely a tryptamine, just not really tripping. During this period though I did do a lot of thinking about how I was able to make the distinction that although this was its own chemical, I could still tell that it was a tryptamine based on my previous experiences with tryptamines vs. those with phenethylamines and other classes of drugs. Sure this drug is vastly different from say LSD but there are commonalities, and the more I take drugs of this sort the more accurately I can compare and contrast. It's neat that there is something essentially "tryptamine" about the various tryptamines, I'm hoping to have the same experience with phenethylamines when I get some more phens under my belt because it really is fascinating, sort of like comparing different works of art by the same artist.
Anyway, that "peak" only lasted about an hour, making the entire experience only last about 3 hours this time. By 8:30 or so was basically sober (other than the joint we ended up smoking). We spent some time exploring the Cathedral and getting into some rooms we probably shouldn't have been in, which eventually wigged me the fuck out when some people came around. I ended my night by hitting up half price late night Indian food with my girlfriend and although I eventually got a small headache (probably not from the 4-aco I'd wager), I was loving the combination of colors and flavors mingling with the cannabis and the very tail end of the 4-aco.
Though fun, this experience was disappointing. Enough nipple tweaking, I want to go balls deep into this chemical, its so forgiving that I feel like even if my scale were to go horribly wrong I could still handle myself on a moderate overdose of it. This coming weekend I will either be doing my remaining LSD or a 15-20mg dose of this stuff, either by myself or with my girlfriend only.
