The night started as they often have, feeling a powerful urge to have a deeply psychedelic experience… It had been quite a while since my last venture into the other realms, and I felt as though a cleansing, powerful experience would be a good thing for my mind & soul..

Sitting idly at B’s house I took quite a large dose of LSD, whilst B & S each took one. They looked at me and laughed as they knew my intentions this night. To delve extremely deeply into my own psyche.. We wouldn’t be on the exact same level this evening, but that was ok, as they were now experienced enough to entertain themselves.

Often on trips I’ve had to be the guy who makes sure everyone else is having a good time, keeping the vibrations positive, making sure things are rolling along smoothly. Pointing out visuals and keeping things light and “fun”. This night however, they were to be on their own. I really needed hours of clarity to myself, with no distractions..

As the first waves of psychedelic infusion crept through me I noticed the walls beginning to breathe, I was entering that oh so familiar place quite quickly. High dose experiences have a tendancy to come on really fast, and can catch you unaware. Luckily, I was prepared for the rather heavy body load, and proceeded to slink back into my chair, just as I pressed play on Pink Floyds seminal masterpiece, Breathe…

I leant back in my chair and watched as the carpet below me transformed into intricately detailed swirling geometric patterns, morphing in time to David Gilmours guitar sound, similar to this :

Sitting around making small talk with B & S, i remembered i had my new LED Poi with me in my tripping kit. I pulled them out of the bag, grabbed my headphones and went outside to play with this new “toy”.

I was hardly prepared for what followed, and this is where things got really rather interesting. As i began twirling the multi coloured balls around my head, in front of my body and generally all over the place, i decided now would be a good time for some Psytrance.

Now I know Psy isn’t everyones cup of tea, people seem to either love it or hate it. Im firmly in the love it camp, and specially when in an altered state. I pressed play on some Talamasca and began my intimate dance with the gods of psytrance…

Twirling the poi around I became entranced in the music, moving to and fro, dancing playfully around the yard. All the while i was noticing the effects of the acid growing increasingly stronger. Everything was moving in waves, trees swaying side to side, the road in front of me morphing and the grass gleaming with irridescence.

It was one of the craziest feelings I had ever had. I could feel my mind warping into some other reality, as I became convinced I was in an epic battle to become the master of Poi & Psytrance. I pictured myself at an outdoor gathering with hundreds of other people all twirling playfully and dancing this cosmic dance i was entrenched in.

Twirling gave me such a positive, spiritual feeling, as though I was bearing my soul in a way. Displaying what I was feeling, through the music, through my physical motions. Much like dancing only even more intense and obviously visually spectacular…

I was caught making rings of colour around myself, as the trails would hang in the air for a good second before disappearing. Picturing the poi as some force field around me, as B snuck outside and shot at me with a large Nerf Gun. We were in some kind of battle, as though in a videogame, my shield versus his gun. Our lives had been leading up to this point, now to see who would be the victor..

It turned out there was no real victory, as Nerf guns soon run out of bullets! ;)

I went inside half out of breath, eyes feeling incredibly large and quite “awake”. “That, was one of the best things I’ve ever done, I need to do it more, NOW.” I exclaimed to B & S.

Back outside I listened to some more Psy while twirling. It was around 1:30 in the morning now and my mind was spinning as fast as the poi, when I suddenly had to slow down. I saw a car pull up outside the house. It looked so much like a police car that I could only accept my demise…In my head I hastily ran through all the repercussions of what would happen to me. Not even thinking why the police would be here. I had accepted that I was in trouble for some reason, and I had probably got everyone else in trouble too.

As i realised this I figured, what the hell, and proceeded twirling right in front of this car. Might as well give them something to look at I thought!

Soon enough though, a small unassuming indian man got out of the car and walked up to the gate. No police uniform in sight. At this point I thought I had twirled myself into some alternate reality, once and for all. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

I went over to the gate and found the man holding a carton of eggs, bacon, and milk. He said nothing, and handed them to me. A look of sheer terror on my face, as I simply could not work out what was going on. “For you” he said.

For me? For me? Why….Why am I being given groceries, in the middle of the night by some strange man!? I took them and stood briefly outside in disbelief as the car drove off…

Walking back inside I felt distinctly unnerved. B had a huge grin on his face.. “Did the shop just come to you?” he said whilst laughing. “Uh Yeah… WHAT!?” I replied. “I thought that would spin you out” he said. Spin me out it certainly had. Turns out that B gets some groceries delivered to his door. At 1:30am on a friday night. Wow.

This whole thing had left me shaken, I went back inside and smoked a bit to calm down, assuring myself I was back to “normal” lsd reality.

The rest of the night was fairly uneventful, as I chatted with B & S before retiring to bed. I now have a deep love and respect for Poi, as well as knowledge of how deep psytrance can take you into your own head if you let it. Its not for the weak minded thats for sure, and some of it can be quite dark in nature..but if you can get through that, the rewards can be plentiful..

Oh man it's so funny seeing that picture of you spinning the ball. I tripped a few days ago and my friend had a bunch of glowsticks with the connectors to make them into a small ball. He put a string the through the ends of the ball and started spinning it. Totally reminded me of your picture except yours is huge!

Thanks for sharing Ego,

sounds like you had fun, I have always wanted to get into poi/glowsticking/etc but have never really gotten the chance. I may have to play around with my fingerlights the next time I trip
