don't you love a nice, long afterglow that comes after a trip?!

which psychedelics do you have produce the longest afterglow, and how long do you feel it? does a high-dose/high-intensity trip produce a longer afterglow than a smaller one?
 
This is a good thread idea; after it gets big enough we might just Big & Dandify it. :)

It's funny my best afterglows all seem to come from empathogen trips. I feel good after a nice LSD trip but I feel really good after a true empathogenic experience. The best afterglow I've had in my whole life was from an MDMA experience.

Afterglows for me tend to happen after high intensity experiences. I find they might last 3 or 4 days, sometimes shorter though.
 
PCP has the best afterglow ive ever experienced , for at least a week after I smoke it I feel on top of the world. LSD gives me a pretty powerful afterglow that usually lasts a few days and so does mushrooms. Some psych's like the 2c's usually leave me feeling a little zonked the following morning but after a few hours its turns into a pleasant afterglow that will usually last around the same time LSD's afterglow would. All psychedelics alleviate my depression for a few weeks so that is a bit of a longer term afterglow effect I suppose.

And smoking pot always greatly enhances the euphoric effects of an afterglow for me :)
 
Afterglows usually last about a week for me.

However, some "afterglows" have lasted forever. This type of afterglow I believe is a result of some psychic shift for the better, improving one's own sanity/happiness/spirituality.

I don't have a lot of experience, but I can attest to wonderful afterglows from dmt, peyote, mdma (never once a harsh comedown), mushrooms, and to a lesser extent, Salvia and DXM.

I feel it's important to examine what's different post-trip as it pertains to your afterglow. I feel it helps in the integration process, so that the rest of your life may be one big afterglow!
 
Ayahuasca

No contest <3

Some of the best sober weeks of my life were after a properly respected, genuine breakthrough Ayahuasca session. One that really, reeeeally hit hard and left you almost like a fetus again after it happened.

Nothing has ever, or ever will be able to match that impression of primordial rebirth it can gift to a person even months after.

i find that if i have a great lifestyle or life path set up, the afterglow can feel like several months, but if i'm trippy within a dissatisfying lifestyle, i'll have a 3-8-day afterglow (more if it's a stronger trip) and revert back to my previous mood.
 
i've heard wonderful things about the ibogaine afterglow... anybody with experience w/ this plant?
 
Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but.... MESCALINE! <3 The afterglow of mesc is better than the actual high of most drugs.

aMT & LSD were good too. Not a psych, but I felt good after GBL too. It's strange to get very drunk & actually feel really good when you wake up the next morning.
 
Mushrooms and 4-AcO-DMT leave me with the most wonderful afterglow once the respective drug has worn off. The best way I can describe it is imperturbable calm.

Smoking low doses of DMT gives me an instant "afterglow" effect like this as well.

I've never had a comparable afterglow from the phenethylamines, but hopefully this will change whenever I get around to trying some cactus.
 
can anyone talk about taking advantage of afterglows by tripping while in an afterglow mindset?

say you trip, have an after glow lasting a week, and while still in the afterglow mental state but after tolerance breaks, you trip again and have a wonderful trip due to being in a positive mental state, have another week of tolerance, and repeat..... can it actually work this way?
 
^I never really considered that. Usually after an intense experience leaving me with a positive afterglow I feel no need to trip again for a little while. I feel content and tripping again so soon seems unnecessary. I recently experienced this after an powerful introspective 4-aco-dmt trip.

I haven't done this more than a few times but IME it is possible to imprint that positive afterglow state in order to prolong/deepen it. Every now and then I consider trying this again for longer periods but as is the case with Delta-9-THC I sometimes just don't feel like tripping anymore after really powerful/humbling experiences.
 
Shroom trips give me great afterglows but often fairly short lived, I say often because a few very intense trips have left me glowing for weeks and more.
LSA produces in me a really nice but short lived afterglow. I'm still feeling afterglow like effects of my first LSD trip which occurred over three weeks ago; I had very strong enhancement of all my senses for the week that followed it. My sense of taste, which has always been pretty limited, is still hyper enhanced! <3 Strangely, mescaline barely gives me an afterglow at all.

100% agreed
 
DMT has a pretty amazing after glow. However I may be a little short sided at the moment. I know I've had amazing after glows from shrooms, LSD, DXM, etc, but not all the time. DMT so far has seemed to be pretty persistent with the after glow, but is a little more short lived.
 
DMT has a profoundly pleasant afterglow that lasts for the rest of the night for me. My next favorite is probably a higher dose of mushrooms, the afterglow is about a day or two for that and really comfortable and good. High-intensity LSD trips tend to drain me and zonk me out the next day, although with less taxing trips I've definitely experienced afterglow with that as well.

Sometimes MDMA gives me an excellent afterglow, sometimes I get a relatively mild negative comedown. It all depends on the quality and content of the experience in question.
 
methylone!! always in a super-great mood the next day - even if i only manage to get 1 or 2 hours of sleep, i still wake up feeling amazing.

+1!
Also the setting was on the third day of a tough hike through the Andes, Machu Picchu being the final destination. Prior to this I spent 3 days in the Amazon with a native shaman, who fed me crocodile and piranhas. So yeah, both set and setting were pretty friggin' perfect.
Waking up after this and walking through the beautiful Andes, boy that also added to the afterglow.
