The week before I had been up in Yosemite, I had a bag of melted sugar cubes that I got from a friend last minute because I was desperate to trip up there. Unfortunately, they were totally bunk; I got nothing out of it whatsoever. But, before I left I knew he was getting a sheet of pure LSD, I pitched in $80 to help him buy the sheet, and hopefully it would come in the mail the day I got back from Yosemite, which was the same day I was supposed to be going to Nine Inch Nails @ the Verizon Amphitheatre. It was quite hectic considering; I got my 8 hits about 20 minutes after I got back and like an hour before I left.
I live in LA, and the 405 had tons of traffic, at about 5:50PM I dosed 2 tabs, and it kicked it just when I wanted to. Trent came on @ about 8:30PM, so I was tripping hard as fuck. The only thing that bothered me was the come-up, throughout my trip I had terrible tension in my neck and head, and it got more intense as my trip continued. None of the people I went with were tripping, I had asked my friend and he said, “No thanks”, but he ended up regretting it afterwards, figures.
When NIN finally came on, the visuals really became intense, the liquid crystal displays at the concert had spirals all over them, and they were so heavenly bright. Lights and smoke coming from the stage were morphing one way to another, and the bass from the music enhanced the euphoria. I know a good amount of you guys listen to NIN and Trent is just such an amazing, compassionate singer, I felt like I could connect with the emotion exploding from his lyrics. This was my second time seeing NIN, and last time I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl and they put down an entire projector screen in front of the stag where they showed different organisms moving around, time-lapse footage of dead animals decaying and being eaten up by maggots, water particles moving around, etc. So I was hoping for some effects that were just as impressive, and they DEFINITELY were. It looked like the stage was made of lava, all of it was red, there were red bubbles floating in the background (close-up footage of moving water with red lighting).
It turns out that the father of my friend who I was with owns the company that takes care of NIN’s finances, so we got backstage passes and I actually ended up meeting Trent in his trailer. He is actually an amazingly down-to-earth guy, and his talking voice sounded so much different that his singing voice. He had this amazing greyhound that looked like a Bengal tiger, I found it kind of funny that I was just totally tripping balls and paying more attention to his dog than him. But nothing I could say at that point in time would truly describe my love for his compassionate music and for the concert he had just put on. All I said was, “Awesome concert, man” and before I knew it we were already walking back to the car. I refrained from telling Trent that I had been on LSD throughout most of the concert.
As amazing as the concert was, I realized that I still had a good 4-5 hours of tripping left. I had this amazing “sauce” light stick that I was swinging all over the place and on the way home I was able to move particles inside it, as if it were filled with water, or some gooey substance, when I put the strobe on I could see the primary colors: green, blue, red, with every white flash of the light, all with fractal patterns glistening across it.
The close-eyed visuals were just as insane, if not even more insane. When we were driving home I felt as if we were in a space shuttle; cars zoomed by at light speed, and billboards would move around, animated, as we drove by them. When we got to my friend’s house, a movie was already on and I was able to create vortexes all around and inside the television. Soon I was making my own movie; a person riding a horse became a centaur-like creature, a man’s tunic turned into an entire city of houses, etc.
This was all quite amazing, but it didn’t get reality-shattering until I introduced myself to a mirror and used emotions and facial expressions to warp inanimate objects. I would observe my face in the mirror, watching it warp when I smiled, grimaced, or laughed. I imprinted that imagery in my head and looked down at the pavement and I could create that inside the tiles. I felt my face stretch out and the tiles of the bathroom floor would stretch as well. I also took off my shirt examined my chest when I sucked in a big deep breath of air, and I could see my ribs contorting and stabbing in random directions. I was truly inhuman. I found moving my body around was most effective when animating other objects and creating new ones. For example, rocking back and forth at something made things get smaller and larger, as if they were sponges. When I rocked back and forth in front of the mirror, the floor and everything inside this bathroom moved with me. I realized that the greatest source of light was white light, because you can see all the primary colors, and fractal patterns would burst in and out of the like small explosions.
In front of the mirror, I turned myself into a ghoulish, disgusting creature and then I freaked myself the fuck out. Everyone was asleep and I was all alone in this humongous, dark house. I wanted to go to sleep but I couldn’t; it was 13+ hours since dosage and I was still tripping hard as hell, everything I looked at began to morph whether I wanted it to or not. Photographs just melted right into the walls, furniture danced around on the carpet, and whenever I looked up at lights I could see green, blue, yellow, orange, and red swirls ejaculating in random, yet organized directions.
I realized that there were 2 ways to perceive something, either to look up very close at it and recognize specific patterns and create new ones, or look at something from a certain perspective, and KEEP that perspective EVEN when you move around. I could turn my head clockwise or counterclockwise and the floor would move with me. For example, creating a mountain in the floor, and being able to keep the structure of that small mountain as you walk in circles around it (this was difficult to do, but definitely the most rewarding).
When I closed my eyes in attempt to sleep, I could see photographic-like imagery that was so sharp it was as if I was still opening them, like faces of people I don’t ever remember seeing before, or tentacles squirming around at me. I ended up being able to look at myself even when my eyes were closed, as if I were still in front of a mirror. I could see my mirror-image while closing my eyes. My ears were also ringing from the concert and I could make my own music that corresponded with the visuals I had. It wasn’t exactly music though, more like random noises (some were quite unpleasant) that got more intense as my visuals got more intense, and vice versa. I began to wonder whether I would just trip forever and my head was just fucking killing me. I tried watching movies but every person's face in the movie would just warp and warp until the movie didn’t even make sense. I circled around the house late at night because if I stopped moving everything would just start to morph like another creature. I felt like I never wanted to trip again.
The most intense visuals were the ones that moved at me, like a humongous blob of goo, or a cloud and those are the ones that really freaked me out after 15+ hours. I began to make things that would scare the shit out of me, like faces, or organs or guts with blood moving in and out of them. Fear is the greatest emotion and I couldn’t stop it.
And then, somehow I fell asleep, I don’t even remember. I woke up to the most vivid world I’d ever seen, everything was still moving but in a more controllable, more comfortable manner, and the sun was out as well so I wasn’t nearly as frightening as I was earlier. I took the most amazing shower; the soap on my chest would bubble uncontrollably.
I don’t regret ever having this trip, the next day, I observed everything like a new-born baby discovering a new world. I’ve done acid before but NOTHING ever this pure. The after-effects lasted so much longer than I expected it almost frightened me. But I although I don’t regret going solo in a dark house, it was a stupid decision, I wouldn’t nearly have been as scared if I were with a fellow tripper, or another friend; just so I could still grasp reality. It was my first time tripping alone, and my first time doing REAL LSD. I can’t wait to trip again, but this time in a safer environment for my brain, and with other people.
