( LSD / 1 hit ) - first time - LSD or research chem? ( first trip report)

[curiosity]

I have never used LSD before but used shrooms on 3 occaisons, 2c-x twice and dxm ( if you consider that a psychedelic)
as for other types of drugs i've used in the past ( some distant past) oxycodone, morphine, codeine,kratom,mdma,mda, "speed" ,salvia, weed,hash,amanitas,coke and more I believe, I am about 5'7 weigh about 165 pounds and have a stocky build
I purchased a few hits since I was trying to find LSD for years and wasn't sure when the oppurtunity would arise again

The morinng I am alone and decided to indulge I woke up had an instant coffee and ate some toaster strudels then I decided to drop 1 hit
and meditate, I left it on my tongue for about 7 minutes then swallowed it

20 minutes later I notice a slight change in vision and an odd kind of alienistic feeling
after the meditation I decided to put on a playlist filled with cbl, shpongle and pink floyd on and sink into the bed

This is where I completely forget what happened when so i'll be estimating everything

about 40 minutes after dropping I receive some digestive distress so I go to the bathroom and when I emerge and make my way
downstairs I am definitely tripping but still coming up

about 2-3 hours after dropping I feel like I am at the peak, everything is full of patterns, for some reason I am having many
negative and just altogether weird and uncomfortable thoughts, along with being physically uncomfortable, and I start to grow a paranoia of my mom getting home
since even though I don't see any problem with my occaisonal drug use I know it would scare her since I had a few issues
in the past, I know she will only be home around dinner ( dropped around 7:30am) but I am not sure how long it will effect me for.

4 hours in? - I begin to see faces on a lot of things and I keep being startled by the bush outside my window because its movement
keeps making me think my mom is getting home, although the bush does shine a nice bright red, yellow, blue and green all on different
parts, at this point I am incapable of keeping my attention on any one thing, everytime I tell myself i'm going to get up to get water
or do some other simple task I always forget and it takes me forever to get to it. My cats seems to be terrified of me for some reason,
I went upstairs and pet one and it just froze completely letting out an uneasy meow, everything I look at now has moving patterns
or parts of it and changes the second I begin to look at it both in colour and in shape or pattern, the artworks on youtube for
the cbl albums I am listen to almost feel like they're smiling at me in a way that they portray the LSD and are toying with me.
Looking at and using my body to do any simple task feels very unnatural for some reason, even walking or drinking water feels weird
and very poorly coordinated, I forgot to mention earlier in the report that for this whole report I am getting cold sweats and
really bad gas for some reason, not to mention it feels like I need to pee every 4 minutes. At one point in the peak I tried to go
upstairs but it was so bright and overwhelming that I was almost scared to and its still unclear to me why, I think I just felt
safer in the sense of if I would get caught being high while I was in my room, although the high did seem like it would be quite intense
for one tab if I would've stayed upstairs, when I walked up there everything popped out at me like I was wearing those 3d glasses
even the light coming through the window somehow became 3d in a bright blue,red and purple rectangle the shape of the windows
I was actually scared of accidentally stepping on my cats because of how blinded I felt from the brightness of the colours and
the visuals I recieved at this point


6 and a half hours in- at this point I begin to come down and can slowly start doing normal tasks much easier, at about 7 and a half hours
I am watching normal videos on youtube again like I would sober and at about 8 and a half hours I feel like i've pretty much hit baseline again

The rest of the night i'm pretty tired and kind of nauseous, I end up drinking some kratom tea later then meditating and going to sleep and
sleeping a solid 10 hours which is much better then I usually sleep

I did not consider this to be an enjoyable trip, however it seems i've only had one good trip from even shrooms and its been quite a while since I
had a good psychedelic experience, starting to think I may never have one again enless I were to actually rent a chalet out on the woods for a few days
to indulge which is just way to out of the way

Constructive criticism on the report itself is appreciated aswell

Everything that you described here is entirely within the ability of LSD to cause. Usually when I take it my body feels completely fine and euphoric with zero side effects (except for the frequent urination, that one seems nearly unavoidable for me) but on the rare occasion that I do have a difficult trip with it that discomfort does often manifest as bodily distress. That being said, there is also nothing in your report to safely say that these side effects weren't caused by a more direct physical interaction, which research chemicals sold as LSD could certainly cause. Particularly with the advent of the 25x-NBOMe compounds, gone are the days when we could tell you that what you took was LSD simply because it didn't take several hours to kick in or last an entire day. However, there is still one fairly reliable question that can be asked: did the blotter have a strong bitter taste?

If you're not having positive experiences on psychedelics in general, just trying new substances probably isn't going to fix that. Perhaps you need to try finding a new location to trip in for a while, or a new buddy to trip with? Needing to hide the fact that you're tripping is never the proper setting for a psychedelic experience unless you're really just doing it for fun, not because you'll get in trouble if you're found out. You want to place yourself in a situation of absolutely no anxieties or responsibilities every time you trip if you want to get the most out of your experiences.

Thanks for sharing this report.

Thank you for the advice the blotter had no taste however my mouth did go a little numb after I started tripping but I had already swallowed the blotter a while before this, and unfortunately I have a very difficult time not having anxieties whenever I do drugs for some reason lately as I mentioned at the end of the report I think the only setting that MIGHT work would be way out in the bush, but even then i'd need a chalet for a day or 2 so I could be 100% sober for the drive back, not to mention its a nit out of the way for a trip imo but maybe one day i'll do it, I thought about doing it in a local forest but their are always people going for nature walks and whatnot so i'd probably feel uncomfortable with it

You're quite welcome. Well, considering the time course of effects in your trip, if the blotter was tasteless then the probability that it was anything but LSD is almost zero. A numb mouth while tripping isn't anything to worry about; a decent number of people report something like a metallic taste on the tongue while on LSD.

I was like that way for a while too actually. I still need to monitor myself a little better than I used to because of it. I would panic whenever I took pretty much any drugs about physical issues I didn't even have, and I think it was really just because of the way I was overdoing every drug I could get my hands on and messing with my head a lot. It took a good while but I was finally able to learn enough about anxiety and proper set and setting to get back to where I am now where most of my trips are actually pretty euphoric and wonderful again, unless I actually need a hard experience shoved down my throat again.... I think as long as you keep a similar mindset and just keep trying to figure out the most suited environment for your trips, you'll be able to get back to the positive ones again. That chalet sounds like it would be great actually. I hope you get around to it some day.

The last time I went walking through a local forest while tripping with a friend while people were still out and about, I had to beg him not to go up to this group of joggers and start telling them how we're on LSD and he "knows" that they're on LSD too. I am a little more hesitant about it after that as well lol.

 

[curiosity]

I really hope I get the chance to someday aswell, i'm pretty sure it was LSD at this point and I will probably give it another attempt in a better set and setting if and when I can find one, but wow your friend must be extremely comfortable on psychs to actually want to do that loll xD

 

[Sapphic Geometry]

Perhaps extremely comfortable is not so much the right term as extremely delirious, hahaha. He seemed to be holding himself together quite well actually, but as I found out more over the course of that day he was spiraling pretty heavily into madness lol.

The fact that it felt "alienistic" makes me think it was definitely LSD. Every time I have done that I always get this extraterrestrial feeling in one way or another, Ketamine tends to do it too but more of a simple outer space related thing. Also, you mentioned that there was no taste and the 25x-NBOMe series does tend to have a strange taste to it and numbs in a way different to LSD. LSD give more of a numbing feeling that is electric, whereas NBOMe feels sort of like an Icy-Hot pack. It sounds like you were so worried about your mom coming home and finding out that your mind made the trip a little unpleasant for you. If you still want to give that another go I would suggest doing it at a time where your mind can be free of worry and you can just let your mind enjoy the trip. If you can only do it at home then maybe try doing it while your mom is asleep and just put some music on your headphones.

Sapphic Geometry- I had an experience like that on LSD only I was chatting with some people in a drug chat and figured I wanted to go find someone to "translate my LSD thoughts into sober people thoughts". That was just one of the various moments of that night where I wanted everyone to know I was on LSD because of how damn good I felt. The only other time I get that urge to tell people is on MDMA and I think it is because we feel so good that we just want to connect with someone who feels exactly the same, it isn't understanding we want so much as someone who is living that exact experience in that moment.

Sounds kinda like LSD, but who knows really? And LSD lasts 12 hours, not 6.5.

Were your eyes super dilated? They should have been if it was real.

Almost any psychedelic dilates your pupils.
