Bluelighter
5g phillipine cubensis + MDxx + NOS + DMT leaf & snuff: Rewiring my nervous system
Dose:
5g dried Phillipine Cubensis; these mushrooms looked like mushrooms should do, with blue peeking through the dried carpophores and a nice developed shroom shape: SCRUMMY!
800mg Piracetam to try to enhance the Ecstasy. This drug I feel does benefit the experience as it increases the flow of information from the left and right brain hemispheres so it must aid the psychedelic experience to some extent.
1 white smilie: quite a large pill which was most definitely MDxx.
Numerous inhalations of cannabis
10-14 bulbs of NOS + B12 supplement (Nitrous Oxide is known to deplete B12 so it only makes sense to try and counter-act this)
Mood Food (5HTP): Taken after the primary effects of the trip to try and make less of a comedown. 5HTP is the direct pre-cursor to serotonin which is what floods your brain when under MDxx and so it helps to regain those depleted serotonin levels.
Setting & participants:
This trip was set outside as we dropped and wandered off to a place with as few houses as possible. We spent the majority of the time in my friends room which had a lava lamp, trippy posters and my laserpod (a stoner toy.)
The people participating were myself, three others who were dropping MDxx and unknown amounts of shroom tea (max 2-2.5g dried each) and the other two were solely on Ecstasy. I'll call the other three hippie-flippers A, B and C and the other two pillheads D & E.
The Experience:
At around 21:30 we started thinking about brewing the mushrooms. In the meantime I attempted to crushed some "Vilca" (anadenanthera colubrina) seeds, I did my best and we proceeded to seperate the smaller particles from the big ones using a sieve after which I added Calcium Hydroxide approximately 3 parts CaOH to 1 part of the Anadenanthera Colubrina.
Having made the snuff we started on brewing the shrooms. I cut up a small amount of Ginger and we let that simmer with the mushrooms for 15minutes. After both brews were finished (mine was seperate) we commenced the drinking. This brew didn't actually taste that bad although there is always that taste that goes with every shroom brew. My friends A and B let C have a fair few sips of their brew (5g between them) enough to make him feel that Nos later anyway hehe. About 10minutes after that we all dropped our smilies. I was already noticing a changing perception and was getting fairly excited.
Now the time was just after 22:00 so we decided to set off outside mainly in order to do Nitrous Oxide and also to play with my glowing frisbee and poi. I was definitely above baseline now we were walking. As we walked i notice the mushrooms working their magic as everything became surreal and rather pleasant. The night-time auras of the street lamps were now rather accentuated and I noticed a mandala in my pixelated perception; I then started telling my friend A about the rather exquisite pattern that popped into view. My legs felt somewhat like jelly at this stage; however, walking was not a problem. We walked as far as we possibly could away from houses in the area and found a rather open field to trip out and play the frisbee.
I placed my stuff on a low-lying tree trunk and put some Infected Mushroom on. Everyone one was beginning to come up and broke out into pill conversation; it was at this stage I was noticing how different I was to the people on Ecstasy. I find conversation when purely on pills isn't that great as in extremely gurned circumstances people cannot seem to relate their train of thought to other people so you get a mass confusion of ideas and irrelavent points. It was not so bad in this case but as no-one was on my level hence I did notice a seperation.
By now I was most definitely tripping, the thing I love about hippe-flipping is that the sole effect of each drug isn't there rather they synergize together to make a rolling/shrooming rollercoaster. I swung my glowstick poi around; much to everyones awe as they were obviously catching wicked tracers. After this I decided to find and break my ultra-bright glowstick and subsequently started raving to some HARDCORE. I then sat down to get tokes on the joint going round which made things seem alot more interesting. Visuals were now extremly apparent: glimpses of different perceptions/ways of looking at things happened time after time. I told everyone that I was probably not going to be that normal from now on and I couldn't wait to see what was going to unfold.
Now I don't remember the order of events very well from this point forward; however, I think i started to do Nos in this period which probably explains why my re-collection is incoherent. To tell you the truth I cannot remember my first double balloon but I do remember the classic Nos effects and my transcendence to an ineffable realm in which I was stumbling around and came upon my friend A who startled me; everything seemed an iridescent shade of orange/red when i spoke to him . Now I had lost touch with reality quite severely. My friends kept going off in walks in pairs, each time they set off seemed like absolute hours. Someone asked the time and I gazed at my watch which was was quite hard to read by now as my vision started to see two watches and it was only 24:30! I really forget how much Nos I did in this period as the visions are not that memorable. Everyone had now come-up on their pills and were buzzing, we played frisbee and had a go on the poi which looked awesome when my friend swung them round. On sitting and contemplating my body started juddering and I felt as if some sort of cosmic energy was flowing through me, I caught glimpses of psychedelic space that were incredible.
Smoking numerous spliffs and raving we were all enjoying ourselves thoroughly. A constant re-occurence to my trip were these intricate mandalas that kept popping out of space, these were extremly cool and I couldn't help but think that each one meant something very significant.
The trip from here on is very difficult to remember, the Nos sent me SKY-HIGH and it was wicked! One vision off the Nos was similar to the fairy lights I saw up the woods on one of my previous hippe-flips. It was a realm of space that had four gleaming domes of colour with indescribable contents. After this my mind gradually re-built my sensical data into a stable but inebriated perception that was eloquently catalysed by the Nitrous Oxide: the afterglow. Everyone asked "how was that!" and I was in my usual "Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God" state of reaction after Nos.
With the next balloon I got up and stumbled round and about halfway through my double-balloon I stopped tooting and staggered around, i heard my friends but i looked towards the sound and they weren't there managing to let go of my balloon in confusion; I gradually came back to a semi-sober state of mind and managed to orientate myself toward my group of friends. At this point I was very gone: time and space had completely dissolved, a point in the trip which was slightly disconcerting; however, the comfort of the Ecstasy most likely benefitted me here. Nos visuals were very hard to describe or memorise at this point, I think it would of been much better to wait until the peak of the mushrooms to get the most profound visual action when under the Nos.
Everyone was now beginning to come-down off the Ecstasy; however i was was still as high as a kite! I made sure that everyone had a bulb of Nos to experience the noetic effects and they were all gleaming with enlightenment. Loaded up another balloon for myself and inhaled while walking and waving my glowstick. The tracer from the glowstick was streaming with intricate detail; blue spots and eyes were among the things I saw within that vision: I continued to wave the stick my face lit up with a super-happy smile as I watched the delicious eye-candy unfold in front of my very own eyes. I caught an image of myself in the shadow whilst I saw myself smiling manically at this beautiful visual phenomena: its quite hard to explain.
When two of my friends went for a walk they noticed a helicopter with a search light, so they promptly came back and told us. This no doubt got me quite paranoid then; however, we then saw the helicopter and got extremely paranoid. It was looking in completely the wrong vicinity and so was not looking for us enabling us to calm down; after it left we were still considerably shaken.
I took another balloon and was catapulted to that famaliar ever-loving Nos world. This trip is quite vivid as I rememebered thinking I had reached that state before as i noticed my awareness shifting in two stages and then to a stage that I had never felt which was even more ecstatic and profound than the last two. Its very hard to describe to you what exactly was going on but that was the essence, in retrospect I think it maybe different chakras opening up within myself; however, this is quite a far-fetched idea.
The next Nos visual was quite incredible: I took the balloon in; my face dropped into a weird expression with my tongue poking out of my mouth as i witnessed a giant, white, luminous, yellow, dripping godhead that was buzzing with blue electricity. Its at times like those that I LOVE Nitrous Oxide. The image of the thing was still in my head after the primary effects of the Nos quite vividly.
Finally the last Nos visual was a bit worrying for those around me although they were laughing at the time saying "You can only imagine what he's going through." Beforehand I said we should smoke some DMT leaf (psychotria viridis) so I could try and synergize it with the Nos; I really cannot say whether it had any effect as I was quite spaced-out already. I took the double balloon in and I joined the universe, my body twisted around in a semi-circle before finally scrunching my face into the ground with my leg and foot pushing my body at which point I joined what I can only refer to as a Gaia-like state of mind. After this I was laying flat on the floor and it felt as if my clothes were being pulled by gravity into the earth and then I awoke rather be-mused. As I sat there I noticed a thought come through my head spontaneously and as it did so I saw what looked like nerves which were glowing bright red change slightly; at the time it felt as if my nervous system had been somehow re-wired although this I don't believe could happen physically.
Everyone was now getting rather cold and we set off back to my friend B's room. I sung to forty six & two by Tool as we were leaving. The walk back was quite weird although it did feel cool as if on a mission which I find is now quite common-place on walks with mushrooms.
We got into my friends room and we put on Alien Dreamtime with Terence Mckenna which was quite fitting for the state we were in: as now everyone was talked out, sitting quietly smoking cannabis. My friend B and I attempted the psychedelic snuff: "Now I know why the indians were knocked back on the floor in agony!" It fucking hurt, my nose was not right until a day after that and I didn't notice any prominent effects although Terences words on the CD were at that point talking about DMT hyperspace and I felt as if my consciousness may have changed slightly, I didn't have that much and I suppose a larger dose may of helped but it was fucking painful. Visionary delights were still unfolding in front of me as we sat back and smoked ganja. C, B & E left at around 04:00 and we proceeded to smoke much more cannabis and brace ourselves for a come-down. I took some mood food to try and help the after-effects of the serotonergic purge my brain went through the night before. I was still seeing stuff for a while, we put our heads down at around 06:00 and I felt GOOD. I find that I didn't really sleep; it was just a sort of trance. When I woke up I smoked a spliff and found myself quite at peace.
Conclusion:
I LOVE hippie-flipping and this one was awesome. I found it had a deeply moving spiritual element that let me realise myself and others quite well. However I don't think I will ever go this far with people who don't know my interior self; it was quite an eye opener for them in terms of drug action as I normally voice my thoughts and some of those thoughts were probably quite dark. In losing my balloon I thought I had no more and panicked I think this disconcerts people every time as they see a side of me that isn't very nice in that the hippie-crack makes you act like an addict quite profusely. Saying that; two of my strongest tripping companions were with me which aided me ground myself amongst the people who didn't know me so well. The trip could of been better if everyone was shrooming as they had nothing to compare me to and pills in my honest opinion arn't that great an introduction to psychedelic space particularly as its purely for pleasure.
One thing that is most immediatly realised from my Nitrous Oxide induced states is that the moment is now and we should be able to live that moment at any point to the full potential. Like in Aldous Huxley's book "Island" the bird is always saying "here and now, here and now is the time" or something along those lines. This is something that has come to mind after my experimentation with Nos no doubt further revealed by reading various writers views on the religious experience. I would particularly like to draw your attention to "The Wisdom Of Insecurity" by Alan W. Watts in which he delves deeper into contemplating the now-moment. I feel that his quotation of Eckhart sums up alot of my thoughts on this very well indeed:
The Now-moment in which God made the first man and the Now-moment in which the last man will disappear and the Now-moment in which I am speaking are all one in God, in whom there is only one Now. Look! The person who lives in the light of God is conscious neither of time past nor of time to come but only of one eternity. Therefore he gets nothing new out of future events, nor from chance, for he lives in the Now-moment that is unfailingly, "in verdure newly clad."
