Well I finally got some... that's right, some good acid. I'm very thankful for it. I don't write trip reports normally because Im not a good writer, but I think I have to for this.
This trip report finds me on Wednesday of last week. I came home for thanksgiving break and to my joy I found a letter in my mailbox which contained some precious goodies I had been looking forward to. I was in a very good mood at the time, as I had just gotten out of college for a week and I was looking forward to the relaxation.
Anyway, I got 5 hits. Being wednesday night it was the day before thanksgiving, but I really could not wait to try it. I had been waiting like 4 years... so anyway I dropped 2 hits and met my friend "H" at the park. He was going to the airport to pick up my other friend , "R" who has been at school in Oregon. I was very excited to see him. Anyway, while I was driving to the park I started feeling something very subtle. I didn't realize it until the effects became more pronounced, but I had actually been feeling it like 5 minutes after I took it. The feeling was just hard for me to identify.
I finally noticed that I was tripping a little bit when I opened my CD case to pick one out for listening while I waited to be picked up by my friend H. I was flipping through the pages of CD's and I just couldnt pick one out. I was just staring blankly at the CD pages, and I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to listen to. Sweet! It must be starting, i thought. No visuals yet to speak of, but everything had already taken on a very crisp, clear, and sharp look to it, like my vision had improved a bit. I've experienced the same thing on LSA. Eventually after much laughing to myself, I pulled out a trance cd and fired it up. As the music came on a huge wave of euphoria washed over me, and over the course of 5 seconds I slowly went from having a straight face to having a beaming, ear to ear grin. It was magnificent. I could tell I was going to love acid. Anyway shortly after I put in the CD my friend pulled up next to me. Time to go to the airport... and now I realized what a fucked up situation that was going to be. Too late for second thoughts now, though! lol
I grabbed my discman, cd's and then walked over to my friends car and got in. I told him that I had taken 2 hits, and he was very interested in my mental state. He's the kind of person thats into auras, etc, he trips but has never done acid before, so he was trying to read me and try to see what the experience was like. I found it remarkably easy to converse while on LSD, which was somewhat surprising since mushrooms are hard for me to talk on. I thought LSD actually made me want to talk more, and to describe what I was feeling, as opposed to mushrooms which often make me just want to sit there.. just tripping. Suffice to say, LSD is a much more clear trip.
On the way to the airport I took a few hits of bud and this really kicked things up a notch. This is where the visuals started... and although they never got too strong, the character of acids visuals is so impressive that even a small amount of visuals was satisfying to me. Hard to describe, but on shrooms when you see things, its clear that you're seeing stuff thats not real. On acid the visuals looked razor sharp and clear, basically as if they were really there... which I found to be amazing. By the time we got to the airport my trip was starting to get more intense, and I Was finding it somewhat difficult to talk to my friend and explain what was going on. The feeling was so profound that I no longer felt like talking, and rather just soaking up the experience in all it's glory. I was grinning like a madman still and we were about to go into the airport.
As we got out of the car and started walking to the elevators (we were in O'Hare) my friend asked me if I thought I could handle going into the airport, and surprisingly I felt it would be no problem at all. When I had to, concealing my permagrin was actually no trouble at all. I'm sure I looked a bit weird but I highly doubt anyone had any idea I was tripping. We walked through a long hallway and stopped to look at the Arrival monitors, flight ontime. The letters on the screen were waving and distorting, and the screen itself looked like it was made of liquid and there were ripples going through it. Cool, so we keep walking towards the terminal.
By this time I was peaking. There were TONS of people in the airport because it was the day before thanksgiving and people were coming home to their families. All kinds of folks.. business people, hindu people, clowns, soccer moms, etc. Seeing all these people going home to their families made me realize that is what really matters. There are a lot of things that are important in life, but human relationships are by far the most important. I considered how, as a race, human beings are just looking out for each other, for the most part. It's a big complicated web of roles... but everyone is involved. I thought about the day tomorrow - thanksgiving. "wow, I have a LOT of thanks to give" I thought to myself. At this point I was really anxious and looking forward to enjoying a good dinner with my family and loved ones. It was a good feeling knowing that when I woke up, it would be turkey day. What a perfect day for an afterglow.
Anyway I was tired of standing up so I slipped on my earphones, fired up the trance, and sat down against some booth. Just observed the airport in its busy condition. Like I said, it was packed. I just watched people going about their business. Lugging baggage, drinking water from a fountain, whatever. I stopped thinking at this point and just chilled and observed how things were and what was going on. I've never been more fascinated by something so boring. But then again, maybe that means it was never boring in the first place and it just took the acid for me to see that.
So after a while it became clear that the flight must have been delayed. We headed back to the car and smoked a little more bud. When R finally called H and said he was in the terminal, I almost didnt want to head back into the airport.... afetr getting back into the car I was opposed to the idea of seeing all those people again, even though I handled myself fine.
So we head baaaaaaack into the airport, and we're waiting around for my friend to come through the gates. Right now all I'm thinking is "I'm about to see R! Im about to see R! I'm about the see R!" and I had actually burst out laughing on the way back in just realizing this. I hadnt seen him in 3 months. When he finally came into sight I broke out laughing again and shouted across about 30 yards "what the fuuuuuuuck is up man", huge smile on my face. I had decided I wanted to see how long it took him to realize I was tripping, so I said nothing about my headful of acid.
We made it all the way back to the elevator and still he said nothing, so I just told him and his eyes lit up. "Got some for me?" and I told him I did. He was very happy At this point my peak was starting to wear off. The car ride home was excellent, I always love the look of the highway on hallucinogens, not to mention being in a car whatsoever. Felt like we were just flying.
After getting back into town I had come down significantly. I was just reflecting on everything I just had gone through though.. smoking some bud and relaxing with my friend I hadnt seen in a while. He packed a bowl of some oregon dank that he'd been selling, very good shit, he got the shit for cheap as fuck too. I wouldnt mind moving there =)
Anyway, from this point things were rather uneventful... I went home about an hour later since it was 3am. The next day I woke up at 3pm and the delicious smell of turkey was all throughout the house. A big smile came to my face.
For anyone who is considering trying LSD, if you can get it, DO IT. I waited SO long that for a while I thought it would never come. Im pretty sure now though, that it does eventually find everyone who needs it. LSD is something that I think should be readily available to the whole entire world. Anyone who wants it should have access. It's a damn shame we live in the conditions we do... it is an absolutely incredible compound.
I feel blessed to have seen the world in this way. It really is enlightening.
It has definitely "raised the bar" for me and I would say after some consideration, it is the best psychedelic I've used. First of all, in terms of usefulness, LSD is unmatched. I've never done any other tryptamine that drove me so hard to think about my shortcomings, and to act on that after the fact, to better myself. Second, in terms of pure FUN, you cant beat acid. Its highly recreational at the same time, shrooms are NOWHERE close imo.
Anyway... my fingers are getting tired. I hope you all enjoyed my report.
