LSD - solitary revelations
Where to start? I wasnt planning to take LSD last night at all and usually I do a bit of mental and physical preperation before a trip, it all happened very spur of the moment...anyway....a quick scene setting of the day that preceded which played a big part in how my trip played out:
Earlier on in the day myself and some friends had a bbq at a local smimming spot, the weather was awful and it rained but we made the best of it and had our bbq and beer in the rain which was very surreal... I went home soon after that and did some work for client that was due on monday. Later a girl I used to know from uni sent me a text message asking what I was doing tonight, and to cut a long story short we got together and had sex for hours and hours....... the day was getting wierder by the minute and setting the scene for a trip i didnt even know I would be taking at this point.
I got home again about 12:30am ready for sleep to find my housemate and a friend sitting up with smiles from ear to ear.... clearly they were tripping out of thier minds! My other housemate was strangely absent and when I asked where he was I was regailed with a story of how the liquid lsd bottle had run out, so my housemate chewed on the bottle (it was in a little plastic breath mint drops bottle) Clearly there was more than just scraps in the bottle and my housemate was tripping in his bedroom by himself... apparently he could barely talk. Lucky him i thought! After hearing this story I was keen to trip and after a day filled with surreal bbq's and totally random sex I couldnt think of a better end to the day. All the liquid was of course gone but they conveniently got some very nice sheets while i was gone so I helped myself to 2 of them, they were droped onto the sheets so I chose the two biggest ones I could find!
Dose: 2 tabs sheet lsd
the doses were supposedly 150ug each but I chose some big ones probably closer to 175-200 each........ so lets say 350ug total... i think.
I played some Sould Calibur II on gamecube with my trippin housemate while I waited for my own to hit. I was getting annoyed that he was beating me even though he was tripping! How I hate the waiting game!
My housemate decided to make "cheese chips" in the microwave, which is a secret share-house tripin' recipe which envolves cooking cheese on a plate untill it goes crunchy and makes possibly the worlds most unhealthy chip...but tasty! He put it in the microwave and went back to playing video games... he was otherwise occupied so I took it upon myself to look how his cheese chips were coming along.... now if anything is good to kick a trip into gear it is watching a plate of molten cheese slide around a plate, and as if on cue my visuals started getting a bit "slidey" and a body buzz took me over..... there we go!! I proclaimed!
Now... normally our trips are in the form of giant adventures and treks around the surrounding suburbs (as I have described in other trip reports) so this relatively quiet night was again adding to a very surreal night. I had always wanted to make a painting or artwork while on acid so i thought this might be the perfect opportunity. I got out my sketch book and some pencils and paints. I started sketching my own hand... kind of like escher where the hand is sketching the hand.... it wasnt great but certainly wasnt bad! I then stoped mucking around and got out the big guns... some paint and a big fat paint brush. I opened a new page in my book and ripped out a clean sheet of paper to work on.... I couldnt help but look at how pure and white and smooth the paper was, so clean! I had an idea!!! I got out some white paint and promtly emptied almost the entire tube onto the page, took a rather large brush and started to cover the page.... once the page had a good covering of white i started making swirls and imagined an ocean with waves crashing and promtly commited this to the page (in rather abstract form) I drew an explosion of light coming from the centre which was quite cool in only white paint.... the lines created by only the shadows of the raised paint. I then saw some wood glue and decided to add a new element to the work... i sprayed around the glue jackson pollock style.... seemingly random but each dribble of glue was intended and meaningful. I took the brush again and mixed parts of the glue into the paint creating an amazing contrast of white paper, white paint and white craft glue. I decided my piece was finished! I looked up and realised how hard this had made me trip, I stood up and almost tripped over myself. The others were still playing video games but wearing down fast and one friend went home and my housemate retired to his bedroom also for a more personal trip.
So here I was on my own.... this night keeps getting wierder!! ive never tripped on my own before!!!!..... Cool! I walked outside to catch some air and looked at the amazing stary night sky.... allthough summer it was a cold night and fog was forming as I exhaled.... I sat watching my breath leave my body and disperse into the universe. This was a moment my trip took on a much more personal feel. It was incredible to see how far you could see your breath go.... when you breath in and out you tend to think of your supply of air to be relatively close to your person.... but as I watched my breath disperse into vapour over a distance of what must have come close to 5 metres I realised how much of an imprint we leave around us and how interconected we are with the universe.... these were lessons I had certainly learned aon previous trips but they took on a new and deeper meaning.
I wandered back inside and decided to go to my bedroom, I took a candle and some strawberry incense to set a bit of mood and sat them on my windowsil. I thought I might like some music so I grabbed a small clock radio I had, plugged it in and found the first station that the tuner slid to. A Clasical station!!! Not what I had expected but certainly most welcome. It set an amzing mood. I closed my eyes and let the music control my visauls...my mind went rampant with random pictures and memories and infinate spirallying psychadelic fractal imagery. Damn this was good lsd i thought!
I opened my eyes and watched the candle shadows dancing to the music, sublime!
I realised i needed to pee, really badly! So I jumped up ran to the toilet flicked the light switch on and went about my business! The lights!!!! oh my god! I had been in the dark for the past hour or so and the light was so intense. My visuals became more intense than I have ever seen before... the walls distorted, the paint slid off the walls and the toilet bowl looked like it was growing and would devour the whole room! My laid back candles and classical music trip just turned into the freaking magical mystery tour!
I wandered back to my room and caught my breath, turned the lights back off and went back to my solice. Classical was still on but I wanted a change... i thought it would be hard to tune a really fidly radio while tripping this hard but I slid the dial randomly and landed on a station playing some very chilled trancy techno....perfect again! I let the visuals run wild again and the beat syphoned through my mind and transformed into pictures for my mind. Tasty!
I opened my eyes again and looked around... I wanted some cool visuals and was concidering turning on the light when I found a torch! Jackpot! I shone the torch around the room and the light left trails behind it of smaller circles of light.... it looked like a snake of light! I bored of this soon enough and shone the torch directly in my eye (just incase you thought I wasnt trippin hard enough) it blinded me momentarily which was kinda cool....i then put a bit of my doona over the torch so only i tiny amount of light filtered through, I put my eye to this and saw something amazing! Now the thing is I actually tried this today while sober and it still worked so it wasnt just some crazy visuals allthough they didnt hurt the experience. I looked into the light and at just the right angle and focus point of my eye I was able to see what I can only describe as the thin layer of mucus over your own eye. Somehow with he refraction of light and what not I was able to see this substance over my eye in amazing detail. It looked like clear oil.... with streams of dark dirt and impurities being repelled by the mucus....it looked like I was watching single celled organisms under a microscope. I was breathtaken at my ability to see this layer of my own eye. Im sure its hard to believe I could see this, but I could... and still can if I recreate those conditions sober.
I must have played around witht that for an hour or so.... i needed new music/sound..... the sun was coming up slowly through the window and I changed to a station that was playing awesome techno remix's of top 40 pop songs. Although I dont like the songs the beat was so good....after 3 or 4 songs I took a double take and it wasnt even techno!!! It was just pop songs!!! argghh!!! but the beat?????? I listened and realised the techno beat wasnt coming from the radio but a neighbour across the way. I wandered outside to see where this mysterious beat was coming from and saw some neighbours we have never even seen sketching out from what I asume was a big night on pills and playing some loud ass techno at about 6-7am in the morning... wierd!!! was this for real??? I was tempted to go and say hi but noone else was awake to back me up.... I wasnt about to introduce myslef to strangers while tripping. So I went back inside...
With a now comforting techno beat in the background I lay in bed and changed the station again....it was radio national, a talk show and they were talking about the most awesome shit! Here I am tripping out of mind and there are these people talking about becoming one with nature, working with the energy of the universe, it all sounded very taoist... was I even hearing this?? surely not! The nonsese of it all made me trip pretty hard and keeping track of exactly what was said became hard, but I gathered it was about a book about a priest who defied his religeon because he saw the universe as it was, nature in all its glory, he saw what I was seeing!!! But they ellaborated on the subject matter more than a normal book review bringing in other people to interview. One of which was Bob Brown... the leader of the greens party! wierd!!! And ill be fucked if the guy isnt the biggest freakin tripper! He is going on about how we all need to come together to see our part in this collective universe and strive together for an ultimate goal of happiness! He has my vote! I couldnt believe my luck of randomly tuning into this while I was tripping.
I realised I largely underestimated the worlds potential to "see" the world as a beautiful place and understanding that we must work with nature, not just in an environmental sense, but rather with our own inner nature. I was dumbfounded that I was able to listen to people who knew these truths on a mainstream radio programme. I all of a sudden had an overwhelming sense of hope for humanity.... maybe enough people do see the light to make a difference.... maybe a time of change is coming? The whole idea of a collectively enlightened society made me warm and fuzzy. Everything would be ok...
...the show ended and I drifted of to sleep and that was the end of my trip... I certainly wont be forgetting it for a while.

I used to make them when I was a kid and called them a Scrunjinvil for some reason.
