LSA (HWB) - 1st time - the eros that is existent within all matter and energy

Voyagers/participants: A & B Date: 27th July 2004

Timeset: 21:17 (finished ingestion)
Dose: (LSA) six seeds: Hawaiian Baby Woodrose; crunched and chewed in mouth.

Setting: A's room

Mindset: Very tired and for me probably not the best mindset to be in; lack of sleep and lack of preparation before hand combined with the nausea to create a terrifying and fear driven state.

Experience rating (Shulgin’s scale): PLUS THREE (+++) Not only are the chronology and the nature of a drug's action quite clear, but ignoring its action is no longer an option. The subject is totally engaged in the experience, for better or worse.

We walked down to a nearby track to get away from all social contact in order to consume the seeds. We simply just chewed and swallowed the seeds. After ten minutes the effects of the seeds had taken a light grip and around thirty or forty minutes into the experience nausea was eminent; we smoked some nice marijuana to level the nausea, the nausea did not dissipate entirely such as in a mushroom trip but remained. We decided to walk back to my house and in doing so the nausea somewhat lightened down. I imagined myself walking with a glowing aura coming out of my stomach indicating the presence of a divine chemical this feeling/imagination was re-iterated throughout the experience.


On returning home we felt the effects of the seeds but were not tripping and after talking to some people present in the house we went upstairs to my room where we remained for the duration of the trip. It was a good three hours of laying there, making fun patterns with a laser pen before we started to trip hard. My memory from this point is highly erratic and remembering events in sequence to when they happened is very difficult.


We noticed that as the lava lamp went lighter or darker as it melted a different atmosphere became present in the room; the ceiling near the lava lamp began to mutate and form a warped pattern that was constantly changing. We smoked a second joint of decent marijuana which seemed to make things a little more interesting. As I closed my eyes I felt my spirit flow through the space-time continuum through a series of portals and revolving images that sent me further into the psychedelic state. We then smoked a second spliff which made me much more aware of the psychedelic experience I was partaking in. What happened between here and the petrified oblivion I was thrust into I do not know; on going to the toilet I came back up and the nausea made my trip into a nightmare. I remember falling down onto my bed with waves of intense panic piercing into my mind. My friend had put music on and I insisted that it not be too loud as with each movement he made and each sound the music (Pink Floyd) made, my paranoid disillusions became much more apparent and I didn’t like it one bit.


As I turned to face my friend all I saw was some person not a friend and I didn’t like this either, I quickly turned the light on sat up and began gazing into Alex Grey’s Transfigurations remembering that a change of scene would change my attitude to the trip. Having overcome my initial fear I felt somewhat better; however, on lying down and turning the light back out I felt extreme panic and frustration. On placing my hand on my heart I felt it beating faster and faster, I became aware of maybe having a panic attack and feared a heart attack (very unlikely in reality.) This terrified state continued until I vomited which eased the whole experience down to a comfortable and enjoyable level this must have been around six hours into the experience.


There was no deep introspective analysis during the experience; however, afterwards I felt something so profound and awe inspiring towards my life and nature it was like looking through the eyes of a child completely free of opinion, assumption and reason.


When I look back into the experience I remember a lot more than what I thought actually happened and in this way the trip has benefited me immensely. Firstly I will be so much more careful of trying new substance in the future as in assuming I was adequately experienced in mushrooms did in no way prepare me for this experience. The feeling of dropping something too big to handle became apparent and I have never had that fear with my now new found ally Teonanacatl. I am calling mushrooms my ally as I can seek their knowledge anytime but with LSA my understanding of the drug is far to narrow; with this trip I have come to realise that each substance/chemical will show me something very different to what others have shown me. The most important aspect of this experience was the fact I managed to define to myself what is beyond our materialistic world. Beyond the metaphysical layer lies a force and entity that is beyond explanation. This being is an Eros that exists behind all matter and energy. Every object/plant/animal consists of matter that is the universe itself, the universe is not a word to describe what is above our heads it is a word that defines everything in our existence.


The effects of the LSA lasted at least to 10:00am the following day and as I sat on a stool in the kitchen smoking my morning cigarette I gazed at a tree and with no one being present I whispered “everything is beautiful.”

You mentioned teonanacatl (mushrooms) being your ally, something which you can rely upon for wisdom any time.

Do you feel that the wisdom of the HBWR seeds conflicted with that of your ally?

I have felt that psychedelic drugs have been teachers and allies to me as well... mushrooms, mescaline, and LSD in particular are the ones which have had sufficient depth and "wisdom" to be allies. While the teachings of these psychedelics are very very different, it seems the lessons all boil down to the same themes: love, peace, getting back to the essence of your own human nature, society is absurd, etc. HBWR and Morning Glory seeds always had a darker theme for me though, and it seemed like whatever lesson they might have had was harder to interpret.
 
Excellent report man. I can completely concurr with the afterglow, the viewing of the world through a childs eyes the morning after. Its as if your mind takes this unexpected journey to which the end is a nice peaceful place.

I don't think many people will say that LSA is an enjoyable drug but rather a test of will.

Peace
 
i called mushrooms my ally because i feel "ready" for them whenever i want but HWB was very dark as blue dolphin stated, during the experience you cannot comprehend what is going on or even make sense with the state you are in which is different to mushrooms, slipping through reality into a psychotic state is much easier with LSA and seems to be much more slippy/lubricated in terms of control of the experience. I recall calling cannabis my ally during my second mushie experience (the first one freaked me out.) I like to look at a substance as if it is a friend that i can learn from, with mushrooms now i can control them pretty adequately to have a pleasant, introspective and enjoyable experience. Going to try mescaline for the first time in a few weeks and can't wait; i have a feeling from what i have heard that it will be quite gentle.

sorry forgot to answer your question (blue dolphin) "Do you feel that the wisdom of the HBWR seeds conflicted with that of your ally?"

I have felt the same with mushrooms in the dark aspect of the experience but not so vivid and not so frightfully real; with mushrooms i could rationalize with myself but if i had not previous psychedelic experiences before i had taken these i think the trip's outcome could be very different like screaming and shouting kinda thing. I do not believe it conflicted with the wisdom learnt from the mushrrom experiences; however, it showed me a different aspect to that wisdom: before i had felt that merging with the universe was a joyful and positive experience to take a holiday from game reality with the LSA it was a very dark rendition of this feeling and my friends and everything i held dear in a materialistic sense i didn't want to let go for some reason; this is why i think that the "afterglow" of an LSA experience is so much more profound than that of mushrooms as it shows you something so much more real and in a human body it is not nesscessarily that comfortable as this feeling of the universe is in my opinion a state of death and with LSA you break into a futher boundary through to what is actually there, the cosmic consciousness.
