background (skippable):
subject is a young adult male, medium build. previous experiences include a long list of psychedelics, some stimulants and a couple of dissasociatives. however, the important thing is that im still on the learning curve regarding DOC, this being my 4th time with the chemical, and so far my highest dose (though still low by some standards); regarding the other chemicals, ive experienced 2c-c and 4-ho-met several times in the past years, all chemicals from the same batches.
the plan for the trip didnt include a combo at first. it was supposed to be my highest dose of DOC yet, and, as stated above, see where it might take me. it was only later that the addition of other chems was decided. i had previously had an attempt at combining DOC with 2c-b added at the tail end, with somewhat limited succes. the two chems didnt meld properly and it felt a bit forced, as if i had come a bit too late with the second chemical. which was probably true, but it felt also like a mismatch of substances. though i plan to return to that mix in the future, this time i decided to add a tripamine in.
the trip (skippable if interested only in the combo part):
liquid measured DOC, dose was 2.5mg ingested at t+0, on an empty stomach. due to set and setting (small house party with a couple of close friends) i also had a couple of beers to pass the time.
not enough to get drunk or anything, but still worth mentioning. i was the sole tripper, and the friends were not supposed to learn of my tripping. this didnt cause me excess anxiety, as i knew i could leave at any time without notice or excuses, and my previous experiences taught me to handle myself in these settings.
first hous passed by in good humor, normal guy chit chat, jokes, playing various music... coming up on the DOC was subtle, not rushed, not rushy. it was after 2 hours that i felt something was off, and by the 3rd hour i felt comfortable at a level i felt would get no higher.
we decided to leave the house party and go to a club. at this point, the entire group was in merry spirits due to the alcohol, and i felt the most awake of the bunch. the vibes were flowing ok with the nontrippers, and this further lowered the chances for anxiety. the club was loud and packed, but the music was sounding great, appreciation obviously increased. visually, there was little to mention, perhaps some breathing effects, some sparkling to the light, some colour enhancement, high contrast...
feeling awake, strong, young and energetic. dancing comes naturally, socializing with freinds is easy, as is talking with strangers, however, there is little empathic push to hug and melt with everyone. but at the same time, it all feels right, as if i am right where im supposed to be.
i try not to appear too interested in the opposite sex, as i already have a SO. but it is difficult, as dancing feels so much better with a partner... at times i get distracted by the complexity of the human social game. i look bemused as guys try to pick up girls, and they giggle in return. its beautiful really. i feel their hopes, their emotions. i feel they are afraid of rejection, i see the joy of being flattered, i see the anxiety they try to hide behind a glass of beer. i remember the feelings i used to get when i was younger. looking at the theatre of interaction feels like reading a book in its clarity.
body load wise, by this moment, there is little if any discomfort, the only true issue being lower back muscle contraction. no jaw clenching, very little pupil dilation. despite the little visual disturbances, and apparent clarity of mind, i would not feel like i could drive, or engage in anything of that sort of responsability.
hungry, somewhat jaded, and in need of a change, i decide to leave the party. it is at this moment that i decide to go for the combo i had planned. though ive only read 1 person having tried it, it struck me as a good idea. so...
dosed 12mg 4-ho-met (somewhat older batch) and ~20mg 2c-c orally. this was at t+5h from original DOC dosing. i opted for low doses of both, doses i would have a hard time feeling by themselves, but that i felt would give a good kickstart to the DOC, which i felt was waining in effects at this point.
coming up from these took what felt like forever, but turned out to be around 1h. there was a bit of anxiety, a bit of GI distress (2 instances of dry heaving, a bit of gas and stomach cramping for 2minutes), a bit of muscle tightening and some restlessness. but all manageble, and all below what i would consider bothersome.
and then... the trip started.
the trip during the combo:
its is really hard to put things in order and find the right words. but one does find himself in situations where it all seems to fit, where all the pieces meld in the perfect picture. so after the comeup fumbling, i felt an intense feeling of eroticism. i felt my body needed sexual energy, needed to be reminded of its animal instinct.
as any young adult male would do at this point, in the abscence of a girl, i looked at porn. the erotic felt exciting, new, strong, and empowering. this would be amazing with a partner. there were surges of enery as the spasms of the orgasm travelled through me.
following, i put some music on. it sounded most excellent. it sounded delicious. it felt like honey in my ears. timeless, the soundwaves caressing my neurons, inflicting pleasure my mind missed. i felt free, free to lay back in bed, eyes closed, enjoy the music. just enjoy the moment, be there and not care about the rest. or care, but knowing that there is place in the world for me.
the sensation of peace might be motif of the trip until the end. various scenarious of tranquility succeded one another with each passing album of music played.
the first hour was spent enjoying strong energy rythms from the chemical brothers, propelling me into a visual treat that demaded some mind work to really get started, but nonetheless was sweet. at this point, tracers were strong, and waving a glowing phone screen around almost allowed for air painting with light tracers... inside the dark room, i imagined how it must have looked from the outside, like a jar of fireflies dancing in the night.
the second hour included more reflective, calmer pieces of music, that invited introspection. i thought about my past, about my loves, about my future and my hopes. all the time, free of fear, relaxed. not analytical but more in an observatory fashion. observing and loving them more at the same time. a kind of adoration of memory.
i indulged in lighting a candle and trying to doodle on paper. visually, this took things to a new level. it reminded me of my first low dose lsd painting, the simple pen strokes becoming coloured, precise cuts in the paper, with new lines stretching out the old curves that i had already painted. at times, the shapes could turn three dimensional almost, cut away from the apper they were drawn on.
sat in the corner, the room felt filled with warmth. i felt like a sunset was caressing my eyes, filling me with the nostalgia of a warm late summer evening. i was dreaming, and being awake at the same time.
the growling stomach demands sacrifice, and i feed it chocolate and wafers. they are delicious, and the first taste almost sends me to orgasm. i drink some water, and it feels like a sparkling stream trickling down pristine from a rockface in the mountains. i drink it as if it were my saving from the draught
turned off the lights, put on a DJ Shadow album. the precision of the beats, the rythm, all impressive, all moving. though i had stayed int he corner of the room, the darkened ceilign was almost cracking open towards the stars. in the nieches of paint, i caould almost make out stars too distant. too faint. but they are there. i am in my own planetarium. i relax.
i breathe in and out. i try to feel the textures around me. my muscles are strained somewhat. i decide to stretch a bit.
and the streching turned into a full body workout. it felt so natural. a mixture of dance, of muscle execises... the gym never felt this good.
i flexed every muscle in my body. i stretched every fiber. i pushed up, pulled up, crunched, squatted, and everything in between. at times it felt as if i could feel myself growing, filling in the man that i felt i should be. strong, healthy, sexual, confident. i was a seed now firmly rooting, growing branches and raising my ehad as a crown towards the sky.
at this point the trip was less visual then before. it turned from a mind massage to a body workout, but the prevailing feeling was of wholesomeness. it felt right.
slowly diminishing in effects, the tired mind retired to sleep at t+11h after dosing, with little pharmacological help (melatonin and magnesium).
what followed was a restful but short sleep (i was awaken by work related issues). following day i felt tired but content, the memory of the night still vivid, the relaxed mind thankful.
aftermath (for the combo part)
pros: beautiful music appreciation, high mood boost, comfortable body load, interesting erotic (no impairment), relaxing, great afterglow
cons: socially impaired, long trip, somewhat tiring, requires work for results (not intrinsicly euphoriant or introspective but a beautiful place to start getting there)
would i do it again? most certainly
ideas for the future? probably higher doses of DOC, or perhaps work the combo in at an earlier point in the trip.
