Pretty new as a member to this forum, but thought I would post about my first LSD trip (2008) because It was one of the most life changing moments of my life.
So it was the night before my 18th Birthday, and I had consumed an MDMA pill earlier in the evening, but it had pretty much worn off when I was convinced by a friend of mine that I should try my first tab. I took half of a red strawberry, and the trip that I had was an experience that I've never come close to in any of my other psychedelic experiences. I took it in the early hours of the mornings, so when it kicked in me and a the other people who took them, decided to go chill out in Newtown Cemetery. I was loving just sitting on the grass looking up at the awesome patterns the leaves on the trees and the sky were making, sort of like a light blue and black kaleidescope. Then one of my friends gave me some orange tinted sunglasses to wear. I found that the pleasant orange world I was looking at to be highly enjoyable so I wore them for an hour two while we giggled in the park, and slowly made our way down the road to a friends place to go sit in their back yard so we could hide away from the people of the normal society who were beginning to go to their respective jobs. When we made it back to the backyard, I decided that I had had enough of staring at the beautiful tangerine sky and wanted to return to the colour spectrum that I was accustomed to. However, when I took the glasses off I was not greeted by my familiar colour spectrum. Instead everyone's skin was now green, one of my (usually black haired friends) now had purple hair, everyones tongues and mouths were now fluorescent pink. The fence which was usually a light brown was now fluroescent yellow, with fractal patterns that seeped from the ground onto the fence, with the plants which I think were now a deep red and blue added to the fractal patterns on the fence. The sky was now the brightest blue I had ever seen, not the light blue that I'm pretty sure it was meant to be at that time of the mornings. Since this was my first trip I tried to describe this to my friends, while laughing hysterically because I thought I was loosing my mind because I hadn't ever heard from any of my friends that acid would create the effects that movies and television describe. My friend wasn't very helpful in trying to calm me down and said that he thought I was loosing it, which really didn't help to placate my fears. Since he wasn't being helpful I decided to just go with because there was nothing I could really do. Eventually the colour spectrum went back to normal, it could have been 5 mins or it could have been 30 mins, I don't know it felt like an eternity. During that period of colour insanity I just laughed in the way that I know acid makes you laugh: you laugh because you think of something funny to yourself, you try to communicate it and fail and then you laugh at yourself for failing, then you laugh at yourself because your laughing so hard. When the colours went back to normal, I did then have fun for a while putting the glasses on and then taking them off, while calling the word with the glasses on red world, while referring to the glasses on as blue world, giggling the whole time. The trip finally wore of sometime around lunchtime, and I spent most of the day on my 18th birthday asleep on my friends fouton. So yeah thats how I entered adult life.
I don't think this description truly captures the experience, but it's something I've wanted to try put into words for a while.
Has anyone else ever had vivid colour changes? If so what tabs were they? and what dose did you take?
