Alright, I'm new to this site (a friend told me about it) and I've just spent the past 3 hours reading some of the trip reports. I must say, there is some crazy stuff out there! Anyway, reading these inspired me to post my own experience with acid.
I've wanted to try it for a long time, but it seemed that it never came around to my town. The one time I did try it, I only took one hit and it was very weak, so I didn't trip at all. That night is actually a whole other story all together...
Anyway, this August, a lot of acid came around agian. I knew a bunch of people who had done it and they all said it was really good. The guy who was selling was a friend of mine, so I told him to save me two hits. It was the beginning of August, and a bunch of us were going to a Keller Williams concert. For those of you who don't know who that is, he is an amazing musician; he actually plays all the instruments himself and uses a live loop recording to sort of "build" his own band. More on that later.
So anyway, I arrived at the concert with one of my friends and met up with my guy. He had two hits for me, as promised, so I paid him and took them into the bathroom with me. Now, the last time I had tried acid, it was a liquid drop on a sugar cube. This time was two small squares of paper. They were dark blue/black in color and had sort of a metallic sheen to them. I didn't really know how to take them. I had heard of letting it dissolve on your tongue, so I tried that. I let it sit there for maybe 10 minutes or so before getting annoyed, so I just chewed them up and swallowed. It tasted kind of gross, like eating paper, but the squares were so small that it was over quickly. After taking them I went back out to join my friends.
I was nervous when I took it, but as I waited and waited and waited for something to happen, I became more and more frustrated. I think it was because it was my first time and I was looking for something to happen; I've done a bunch of other stuff (shrooms, roll, etc.) and I've gotten so used to knowing what to expect that this was completely different. I kept asking a friend of mine (who had tripped before) when it was going to kick in and she just told me to wait.
About an hour and a half (I think) after I first dropped, it started to kick in. The concert was fabulous anyway, but then things just started to look different. The entire stage had candles all over it, and I noticed the candlelight just looked incredible. It was as if I was watching the light in slow motion and the light and I were the only things in the entire room. It was really personal, and having the music in the background just made it that much better.
After staring at the light for I don't even know how long, I started noticing the instruments set up around the stage. Since he (Keller Williams) plays everything himself, all of the guitars and things are on stands around the stage. I was staring at the bass guitar when the neck of it seemed to bend a bit. It was like a jerking motion, and it looked like it was bending towards me. Then it would sort of fade back to its original position. There were holes in the body of the guitar, and to me those seemed like the mouth of it. When he started playing the guitar I swear I was having a conversation with it.
Watching the rest of the concert like this was amazing. The type of music is really chill and acoustic, so it became really personal and exactly where I wanted to be. Whenever he started playing a new instrument, I felt like it was another person being introduced to this musical conversation that only I could hear. Looking at the people dancing in the audience was also something I'll never forget. This took place in a small venue, so I could look around and see almost everyone there. But when I would look at people, I would actually see through them. Everyone was glowing in shades of reds, blues, purples; basically any color you can imagine. I would look at a person and then they would become transparent so I could see the person standing behind them. Looking around I also was feeding off the vibe of the room: it was as if I had stepped into this colorful, dancing utopia. Needless to say, I didn't want the concert to end.
But, it had to, sad to say. The ride home was amazing though. My friend was driving, so I was able to enjoy the lights on the highway. To get back to my house, we had to go through an underwater tunnel. Now, I've been through that tunnel many times rollin face, but trippin was a completely different vibe. I forget exactly what music was playing, but i do remember the lights whizzing by over my head. They were bright white, and it was like just one big flash of light, like someone had just taken a picture right in my face. I thought the tunnel was never going to end, and it felt like we were going about 100 mph.
When I finally got home, I think it was around 1 or 1:30 in the morning. There was no way I was going to sleep, so I decided to get on the computer and talk to whoever was up. Before I did, I changed into some comfortable clothes. The strangest thing was I had a pile of clothing on my bed, and when I would look at it, all the clothes would start flowing around. It seemed like I had a river of cloth floating on my bed. It was really cool, but then it started to freak me out a bit. I stopped looking at it and just turned on the TV and got on the computer.
There were a lot of my friends online, and the strangest thing was how uninhibited I was feeling. People I had never talked to before I just struck up conversations with. I think it was mainly because I didn't want to be alone. I started talking to a different friend of mine who had been at the concert; he was trippin too. He then became my compainion for the rest of the night. :)
The rest of the night was very long and time didn't really seem to be there anymore. I remember I would look at a clock and only about 15 minutes would have gone by when to me it felt like 2 hours. My friend and I had some really long and deep conversations that night, but I had to keep myself entertained while I was just sitting at the computer. One of the first things I noticed was when I was watching TV. Some rerun of a talk show (like Regis and Kathy Lee or something like that) was on, and I remember being so disgusted with all of the celebrities. I would look at them (most notably I remember Britney Spears was on) and their faces would morph into incredibly ugly and grotesque figures. I felt like I was seeing the inner personality to celebrities' outer beauty: all of the greed and fakeness I thought these people brought to the world manifested itself onto their face and it disgusted me to no end. I felt like if anyone had actually been in the room with me I could have seen right through them and discovered who and what they truely were.
All the while I kept talking to my friend. I was getting some really good visuals, and I remembered a trick that someone had told me. I tore off a tiny piece of tissue paper and put it on the desk in front of me. Then I just sat there and watched it. At first it just glowed different colors, mostly reds and oranges. From those colors I started thinking about fire, and all of a sudden the paper became a little flame! It reminded me of the candles at the concert, and I just sat there watching this perfect flame on the desk. I started thinking of different colors, and whatever color I though of, the flame would change into! It was one of the coolest feelings in the world knowing that I could control this piece of paper with my mind. After a bit, the flame got boring, so the paper started morphing into other shapes. I could pick it up with my eyes and then watch it fall down on the desk. Then it started to dissolve into the desk only to reappear. I don't know how long I watched this piece of paper, but I think it was somewhere along the lines of 2 hours or so. Like I said before, time just didn't matter.
After all this, I was finally getting a little tired, so I decided to try and go to sleep. By this time it was almost 6 in the morning, and I had taken the acid at around 10. I was tired, but it took a little bit of lying completely still for me to fall asleep. The last thing I remember before I did drift off was the stars on my ceiling sort of wavering like water and then falling like a meteor shower. It was completely calming and soothing.
The next day I was tired, but it wasn't too bad because I could sleep in. I haven't done any acid since that night, but only because it hasn't come around to me. I really really liked it though. I almost like it better then rolling, partly because it's still so new to me and I don't know what to expect. I also didn't have that cracked out feeling I usually get after a night of rolling. I'll definitely do it again, although next time I'd want a bunch of friends around me who are trippin as well.
 
wonderful report!
It is so exciting to read beautiful experiences like yours.
Once you learn to control the anxiety that may accompany any acid trip, there is nothing but pure beauty to be discovered, or created!
Welcome to Bluelight! Enjoy and keep those good experiences coming ;)

Plurred-
It's hard really to describe his music....he writes some songs about ridiculous things (there is one called "Bob Rules" all about The Price is Right)....and then other times during concerts he might break out into an old Dead song. If you have Kazaa or something like that you can download a bunch of his songs and see if there's anything you enjoy. It's acoustic and chill, but always fun to listen to (more so if you're stoned :) ). Here's his website:
Keller Williams
Enjoy!!! :)
 
what a lovely report! glad you had such a good experience with acid.

^^^^^^
I have had a similar experience, (i was not driving btw) i remember believing the car was a spaceship and we were travelling through space at the speed of light, and the lights in the tunnel were stars and meteors flashing by.
