4 years ago, I got a vial of liquid acid. It was traded to me as 30 hits from a semi-trusted person. I was given a warning to take it easy with it but thats what they always say. It was a school night, but I wanted to sample it. I wrote a report of this night but I am going to rewrite some of it as my grammar skills have improved since then.

Around 8pm I placed 1 drop under my tongue. I waited 2 hours, nothing happened. I took liquid before this once and remember it started working in only about 20 minutes. This person wasn't trusted well so I thought I got ripped off, although I did write "feeling speedy, I think it is anticipation?".

I got pissed off and squirted the whole vial in my mouth at 10pm. I was sitting on the toilet 10 minutes later when I knew I may have made a "cool" mistake(and potentially dangerous but I didn't think that way when I was this age). Colors were bursting and sliding and sliming all over the walls and floor of the bathroom. It came on so fast all at once. I did fear the intensity at first but it was very euphoric also. I went to my room and laid on my bed and the rest of what happened was a little too extreme to describe well.

My TV and other objects in the room were alive and excited. They were floating and melting around and very bright with color. My ego was being lost quite quickly. Soon, I was not completely conscious, or maybe I was but my short term memory was so fucked up I didn't know what was going on. I looked at my hand and it was the strangest sight. It was a flipper or something, or no, 'what the hell is it?' I thought. Soon I wasn't thinking in words, things were just things, everything was itself and I had no emotional connection to it, and I couldn't identify anything. Then I began the transition of not knowing who I was to not knowing what I was...

I must have closed my eyes. I became a bacteria, I figured that is what I was. Bacteria in a lake, although I didn't think this in words I just knew it. Floating blissfully with no thoughts, my visionary image at this point consisted of surroundings to confirm I was a bacteria. Crazy and abstract. I remember a vision of the water that was all around. I don't remember much else.

Sometime during the night I 'woke up' and had no memory of what happened to me the last 5 hours. It was disturbing, but the pieces slowly came together. It was 5:30am. I was still tripping with colorful visuals swirling everywhere. I stayed awake and went to school. All concepts of 'school' and 'bus', a 'classroom' were severely distorted. These concepts seemed almost comical but absurd. I was tripping when I went to school at 7:30. I almost couldn't find my locker and homeroom as the concepts of my everyday life were blown off track. My ego had still not come together yet, or maybe it just came together but wasn't like it used to be, it was wrong.

I went to my classes not talking to anyone, maybe just saying hi to a few people. Everyone seemed weird, not for any particular reason, just for following and being content with this weird 'system' of talking to people, getting these objects called books and these people that stand up and try to teach subjects that had absolutely no relevancy at the time. I was in a weird world, it wasn't me that was weird at this time.

I did go up to the person that got me the stuff and told him what I did. He was shocked and laughing and told his friends. He said "I can't believe you survived to come to school today! Your eyes are still all black dude. That was so much fucking acid, you are our hero!"

His weird face was dirty looking and him and his friends had evil appearences but I was still piecing together the concept of these other life forms called humans.

My mom told me she heard noise during the night in my room and asked if I was up all night. I don't know what I did, I thought I was on my bed all night but during the chaos of an acid trip its hard to tell what a person will do.

I think it took me a good 3 days to start to accept the weird system of living everyday life. I had trouble adjusting, hell maybe I never quite returned to normal after this. Sometimes I think of those same ideas that everything is weird and absurd although I have gotten over most of this way of thinking.

It was a great experience and I don't regret doing that much acid, but will avoid that amount if I ever come across the stuff again. Maybe if I was in a padded room I would.

Well, this was certainly the strongest acid trip I've heard of.. although I think it was quite stupid to take acid during school week and even more stupid to take the whole vial when one drop didn't work, but interesting story nevertheless.

Side question: do you have any estimate how many micrograms you ingested then?

Ego=I. You are either yourself or not.. no in-betweens.

When people talk of loosing ego or ego-death they are talking about transending themselves.. Basically Joe Smith isn't "Joe Smith" anymore. Everyone goes threw ego loss when they die (or so I assume, no proof as I'm still typing.)

Interesting report.. Wonder what was going on in that little black hole area there 8o

Then what do you call the in betweens?

Having done cid about 80 times, and assuming a blotter is 50-75ug, I estimate this trip around 750-1125ug. Its hard to tell but I think it was equivalent to 15 hits although it was sold as 30.
what the black market calls a dose is pretty puny
I am not the black market, I am basing this on much experience.

Just because I didn't freak out doesn't mean I didn't have the amount I said I did. Dose doesn't correlate well with bad trips/freakouts, although they are more likely to occur on higher doses. Some people can keep their cool, like I did. I just flowed with it. I have had terrible trips on 5 or 6 hits because of the situation or my mind resisting the change.

Yep, but what can I say? I was 15 and invincible :)

There is no in between.. You are you are you are not.

I think you might be confusing ego with after effects and thoughts or something.
 
There is a such thing as partial ego loss, at least to me. Partially losing who I am, although some facts about who I am remain. I think it is a pointless arguement.

You can make your own definitions if you like, or just make a new word.. psychotherapy only deals with "I" and as it stands right now, Ego means "I am" and has sense before LSD was around. To argue would be counter productive for both of us. :)

When you loose ego there are few things you can bring back as something that can be described in language (current.) This is because you remove space/time from the variables and you can understand reality as it really is for a short time.

Yes indeed - but I think you may agree 50-75mics is puny


"Just because I didn't freak out doesn't mean I didn't have the amount I said I did. Dose doesn't correlate well with bad trips/freakouts, although they are more likely to occur on higher doses.

I am sorry if I gave the impression that I thought you were mistaken or lying - that is not the case at all & apologies if it came across that way - I simply didn't get much impression of the intensity from your perhaps overly concise report. Also the fact you even considered going to school threw me rather (but hey you were fucked) and that the worst of it seemed to be you had trouble finding your locker - how the hell did you find the school?!

I totally agree that lower doses can be harder work than higher ones - and in fact for me personally psilocybin is way way way more likely to result in a nasty/bad trip than LSD despite the latter being much more complex/intense
 
I am basing the 50-75mcg estimate on erowid, I believe that is what a blotter is average (not sure thats accurate). To make it more simple I will say, I believe my trip to be equal to 15 hits of average blotter. What I call average might be lower or higher than others though. I don't think any of us can be sure of an acid dose unless they made it and have a very expensive scale.

Hehe, I was fucked. I was still tripping and didn't want to be around my family. I just floated my way to the bus and let it take me to the chaotic school.

Yes this is quite strange. Maybe on higher doses it overwhelmes a person so much they have to flow with it, while on lower doses one may feel compelled to resist it. I have heard people say that 5-meo-dmt is easier when they breakthrough.
 
When LSD takes over your body, ego can mean red, purple, cat, or dog.
You aparently haven't ingested enough to experience this wank.
 
This wasn't my most intense trip... I know what you mean.

Acid can be a great tool and lots of fun, but there should be a certain age limit. I was 14 when I first started tripping, and I think it warped my emotional and social growth. I am not all fucked up in the head, I think I am near normal but this stuff is serious.
 
dunno if anyone pointed this out yet but the max dose your body can trip on at a time is about 700-1000 ug and the rest just sits there waiting to be absorbed ulting in a longer trip if u go over your bodys limit of lsd so u woulda been trippin for a long fucking time
 
^^ Go read some of the trip reports on 'thumb-prints', literally dipping the tip of your thumb in crystals, people who have done them report there is a big difference 1000ug and 5000ug.

i have had two really intense acid trips.. well three or four maybe?

and a couple shroomers

exceeding 4g or 5

well.. one acid trip i had, i only stayed with it for 3 hours, but i took 5 hits.

that was my first confrontation with what i like to call "reality"..

the second, 11 hits.. that was when i was catapaulted into a neuronal layering of some sort... a fractal universe resembling nerve structures..

could see my bones perfectly and the blood rushing through my skin.
 
Intesne man! I had a simular trip where I became just another cell. I looked in the mirror and did not know what or who i saw. I only saw an egoless, emotionless face. I wouldn't call my experience ego loss, but it was very detached from reality.

Then again what is reality... :)
