(LSD/1 WoW Tab) First time: "Entering the world of psychedelics"

[cyberius]

Since I started doing various types of drugs, I always looked at LSD with this fear, and great desire to do it. I've heard people had the best and worst times of their lives, and it has really changed them for better and for worse. I thought that it was like being sober and looking at pretty colors morphing around the room for 12 hours - and I was so wrong. LSD is a mind game, sure it can bring up great hallucinations, but the best part is the head space and thought process changes. I never saw anything breath-taking, but I gained a new respect for the world around me that has lasted to this day, a month after my first LSD trip.

[T+ 00:00] It was 10:00 P.M. I had taken my blotter and put it under my tongue. It tasted a little soapy, but it was generally tasteless. I am in a very excited and anxious mindset, ready to enter the world of psychedelics head on for my first time.

[T+ 00:05] I kind of felt this, electrical feeling at the base of my tongue. Is it my mind or just the drug doing what it is supposed to?

[T+ 00:45] First alerts come about now, and I feel some strange bodily high. I feel that whenever I move my body, I feel tense and I get this electrical feeling in whatever I moved. I keep checking my eyes for dilation, and my pupils look slightly bigger than before, but still not the dilation I've gotten from MDMA or Amphetamines.

[T+ 01:00] My parents are going to bed, I think I'm starting to feel the effects full on. Talking to my parents seems so, alien. I managed to talk to them normally, but it just felt, different. I notice that my pupils are even bigger now, but still not as close as an MDMA high. I also note that thoughts seem to be so much faster than usual, this is definitely nootropic in spite of the psychedelic edge.

[T+ 01:30] I'm starting to peak. Colors just seem more significant to me. They don't look really different, as much as they seem new. It feels like I'm seeing the world for the first time, and it is really spectacular; everything just looks so crisp, and clean! I decide to go outside and sit in my back yard with my headphones as it's a full moon and it's really bright out. I notice a sort of an emotional euphoria, not a full body orgasm like MDMA, but more like a feeling of great happiness and amazement.

[T+ 03:00] Time feels non-existent, and when I look at my phones clock, the seconds seem to be going by slower than usual! I'm still where I was before, just listening to some trance and looking at my surroundings, it all looks so surreal. I see light visuals, like when I look at the sky, the clouds kind of morph around and get bigger and smaller, and the clear parts of the sky look to be rippling with blueish colors a vertical fashion. I'm feeling very euphoric, the world is so beautiful, and I feel very good about myself. The music also sounds so much better than usual, the melodies are so much crisper, and it just sounds so much better to me.

[T+ 05:00] It's about 3 A.M. and I go inside and lay in bed. I'm definitely starting to come-down, and I feel great anyways. Unlike an MDMA or an Amphetamine comedown, it feels like a relief, and a happy walk back into reality. I put my headphones down on my desk, and I am just laying in bed, trying to sleep. I'm seeing some CEV's surprisingly. It faintly looks like I'm going through a tunnel into a darkness, and the 4 walls around me are just going backwards. This continues until I fall asleep.

[T+ 14:00] I wake up from the best sleep I've had ever. I feel energetic and refreshed, and like a new man.

Overall, LSD was a life changing experience for me. I had never felt so amazed in all my life, and even though I never saw any intense CEV's or OEV's, I love this chemical and plan on doing it again after a responsible time.

This sounds like a wonderful first time experience. I'm quite surprised you ventured into it for the first time solo and am glad to hear it was a breathtaking experience for you! I've never solo tripped, but as I've noticed, doing this drug with a very close friend(s) in a personal environment can make for a very special experience. A responsible amount of time between trips is a great piece of advice you've given yourself. Great report!

I'm glad you had a great trip, but reading about the soapy taste and short duration, I can't help but wonder if it was an nbome. For me, 14 hours after lsd, I'm usually still wired.

How did LSD change your life? I am a huge psychedelic enthusiast and educator, some folks call me 'shaman' and lately I make it a point to live up to the role others see me in.....even if I never use those words to describe myself....anyway how did LSD change your life? What is different now? What was something in your life that was there previously, that has changed in response to LSD?

I ask because the statement that, "My life is changed" is very reoccurring among psychedelic users. But save for ibogaine, or maybe some other strange ones that can physically alter the brain, eat up damaged cells and behaviors stored in those cells, start generating new ones, etc....I do not believe psychedelics 'change' us but I do think the experience is a grand 'wake up call' and if you get the alarm and get the message...you can work hard every day to be 'changed' and to 'practice living' the changes you see and desire.

OP: know I post these words to help you along the way....I say these words to help make the 'change' you speak of still be present a year later. 90% of the time psychedelic trips (that are not somewhat directed before hand, or that do not have a smart-guy, therapist, shaman, etc to help one direct and do the 'follow up work')...don't often stick a year later...in the context of using a psychedelic outside of a ritual anyway....ritual can be a therapist, with guides in the woods.....you know something other than haphazardly dropping a hit of acid with no intention beyond seeing what it does.

I want you to be one of those people who mean 'LSD changed me" by figuring out what exactly it changed, what did you want to be changed, and then how you will work towards maintaining this change every day!

Sure you must use your brain here to answer these questions but you will be a better person for doing this exercise and at the end of the day, you will have a far greater chance of meaning what you say now...and have it still relevant a year later.

Great write up Cyb, sounds like a you had a cool journey, and am quite suprised you went into it alone for your first time, but thats cool, no distractions, just full on focus on yourself and the effects etc ..
I tripped with friends for over a decade before i took mushrooms alone, Mexican and liberty caps one day only last summer, it was also a great experiance.

Thanks for sharing, Take care ..
