Well, I am going to try and write this up as best I can. I have been meaning to write a trip report ever since this happend - about two weeks.
I had been wanting to try LSD for quite some time. I am experianced with MDMA, ketamine, pot, and alcohol. I have had one trip with mushrooms. Even trying to compare what I experianced to my mushroom trip is impossible...
It was a thursday night. I worked until about 10 PM and afterward I had planned on going to my weed guy's place and purchase some high quality weed. This took place and I was making small talk when I heard the word 'microdot' come from the next room. I wandered over and ended up finding out that this guy had a few microdots he wanted to get rid of. I purchased 2 and went home.
I got home and took one at about 11 PM. I then proceded to smoke a bowl and get online for a bit. An hour passed and nothing happend. I was getting a bit worried at this point because I thought I had been had, which obviously would be very easy to do with little brown dots the size of a pinhead.
12:15 rolls around and still nothing. I want to point out at this point, thought that I was still fairly stoned, which could have led to me not noticing the onset of the effects. 12:30 and still nothing. I take the second microdot and go to Wendy's because I am hungry. (I know driving under the influence of LSD is a BAD idea but I still hadn't begun to feel any effects, and the Wendy's is about 200 yards away.)
The short drive home from Wendy's is where I start to notice that things were getting 'weird'. I can remember the very first moment I noticed this. I was in my appartment complex and happend to be staring at a wall and I guess the best way to describe it is that just for like a half second I 'zoned'. I felt almost like I had suddenly been placed in this situation and there was this feeling in the back of my head that wouldn't go away. I drove the rest of the way and parked.
I just put the 'zoning' off to being stoend still, as it didn't seem terribly unusual. The first instant when i KNEW for a fact that I was tripping came as I was getting ready to leave my car and go inside my appartment. I had gotten Sprite with my Wendy's and I decided to take a sip. As soon as I did and had swallowed my first reaction was to say out loud, "OH MY GOD" The sprite had tasted SO amazing. It felt as if every molecule of the soda had exploded inside my mouth. At this point I had a grin on my face that I don't think I could make again unless I was tripping. I could feel the LSD starting to energize my body and go to work on my brain.
At this point, I knew I was tripping (duh) but it was still subtle. I had to think about it to realize I was tripping, but it was definatly there. I had a moment of anxiety when I realized I had taken another hit, but that quickly faded to amazement at what I was feeling.
Ugh, a person could do MDMA forever and NEVER comprehend what it is like to trip. i know I am quite inexperianced, but wow... About 1:00 now and I have been chatting online and reading through other trip reports to get a feel of what to expect.
1:30 I have noticed my first visuals. My hands seem a very strange color of red, which I notice and find strange but not bad. I also notice myself staring at my hand. Not because it is 'breathing' or moving at all, but because it looks INTERESTING.
I turn off all the lights in my appartment, pack a bowl and sit back down at my comp to say my goodbyes to people, cause I am getting quite involved with the LSD. I feel really spacey and my thoughts seem chaotic. I also begin to notice at this point that my neck and back are starting to clench and become sore. This doesn't bother me at all.
Right before I got offline I had been talking to a friend, who I had met online through another message board. We had sorta hit it off and were planning to go to a party the next weekend together. I was very excited about this, because I had not had any significant female interaction for quite some time. Anyway, while talking to her I became aware of my first 'though loops' She was talking about some guy who she thought was "creepy". Right when she said that I started having thoughts like, "What if she thinks I am a creep?" "What if i AM creep?" "Does she like me?" "But does she think I am a creep?" Finially after what seemed like FOREVER. I came to the conclusion that she didn't think I am creep. My mind was (well, at least about that!) at ease.
oh! Also, one thing I noticed while talking online was the severe time dialation. It was INSANE. I would swear 20 minutes would pass and I would look at the clock and only 2 had passed. or even none. It was amazing.
Finially, at around 2:00 (this times are all approx.) I got offline and this is where my visuals started to kick my ass hardcore. One second I was looking at my computer monitor and then the next second I looked away, into my dark living room. There were two moments during this first trip that stick out in my head. This was one of them. As soon as I looked into my dark room everything in my vision started 'waving'. I don't want to say melting, because it wasn't exactly melting. The waves continued as I walked into my bedroom and laid down on the bed. Then the real visions (I saw visions, and not visuals, because what I experianced went beyond visuals...)
My room was dark except for a few squares of light coming from the outside. As soon as laid down in my bed, the squares of light were no longer squares of light. They were windows in houses. I was laying in between two houses and I could see the light coming from outside the windows! It was amazing. And the light was neon green.
I stayed inbetween the houses for what seemed like hours then it all vanished. For a second the visuals were gone. Then seconds later neon green light exploded above me. Patterns were crawling all over my walls. It was lovely. My thoughts at this time were VERY looped. I could not get out of thought loops. People say that this is a bad thing, but I loved it. I loved having this incredible complex thought and going round and round in my head. My minds eye pictured my brain as two different 'heads' talking back and forth.
I would say that about 4 or 5 AM i wandered outside, which was the best thing I had done all trip. This was the second moment that I will always rememeber from this trip. The trees were all flowing and fractal-ing into one and other. I could only walk a few feet because my body felt like it was clenching. I stood under a street lamp and I could feel the light falling on my sholders. And light....oh my god. I was totally humbled by being outside. It was beauty.
I stood under the streetlamp for a while longer and just felt the perfectness of the moment.
I went back inside and decided to smoke a bowl. A very interesting thing happend, after I took my first hit there seemed to be a burst of light (sorta) in front of my face. After eacho hit I could feel myself being pulled further into the experiance. My body was beggining to become exausted though, so I thought I would watch some TV. I am so happy I decided to watch TV because Children of the Corn was on TV!!!! I am a HUGE fan of horror, and being on LSD and watching a horror movie is pretty badass. It was really tough to follow, but was very fun eye candy. The thing I remember most about this is that when someone would bleed the blood would run off the TV screen.
My first LSD trip was amazing. I feel very fortunate to be able to try such a beautiful and fairly rare substance (although it does seem to be on the rise again...) A few things i noticed that I didn't mention in the trip report:
First, I have had some really bad jaw clenching with MDMA before but NOTHING touched on acid. It wasn't the chewy sorta pleasurable jaw clenching like I get on MDMA, but a very intense, almost twitchy jaw clench that seemed clench my entire face and neck.
I could NOT stop laughing. Even though i was by myself, it was everything I could do to NOT laugh. I loved it. I can see how just spending time with friends and walking around, being outside on this drug could be wonderful. I really want to try it again...
I fell asleep around 10 or 11 AM finially, after smoking copious amounts of pot. I woke up a few hours later and felt very refreshed and alive. Not at all cracked out, or 'dirty' like I hear some people say they feel after acid. I couldn't have felt less dirty. I spent the majority of the day just sitting outside and trying to gather my thoughts on the previous nights events.
