I've had many opportunities to try LSD and have passed on all of them because i felt like i wasn't ready for such a powerful drug. I tried it for the first time two days ago.
pre-trip drug consumption: One 70-90mg MDMA pill (Blue sherrif's badge), a lot of cones. I had dropped the pill at 2.00pm, and had all but comedown by the time i went to consume the tab. I have a pretty high mdma tolerance, and an extremely high cannabis tolerance.
I took the drug at the same time as three other friends. Two of my other friends had never consumed LSD before either and one of them had had it around 15 times.
We decided to have a little bit of fun with it and consumed it downstairs in my friends basement with nothing but a TV for light and a Wii and xbox.
7.30pm - Placed one Che Guevara tab underneath my tounge, and had swallowed it by 8.00pm
8.15pm - Starting to feel a warmth in my body, things seem to be a lot funnier than they really are.
8.30pm - I smoke two cones and immediately start to feel an intense wave of body rushes. The body rushes seem to be at my chest, leaving me feeling breathless and making for a very intense start to my trip. I was really enjoying myself by this point, laughing at a lot of shit that wasn't really that funny.
9.00pm - Things start to 'breathe', slowly but surely my vision starts to turn all fish-eye lens style, i look over at my other three friends who are all out of their mind, probably a little more so than me at this point. Even my experienced friend was sitting there giggling at the TV screen as my other mate played the Wii.
9.30pm - The waves of euphoria start to amplify, things become really intense. We turn the light on just to see how things are, and as soon as the light goes on the fish-eye lens affect is in full play. I start seeing 'behind the eye visuals'.
10.00pm - My experienced friend's face is half blue/half red. I am laughing at everything, there are small vortex's appearing at the other end of the room and the whole room is patterned, and very green/red/blue. The behind eye visuals cover everything in the room with what looks like newspaper writing.
10.30pm - We run out of cones and cigarettes and decide that a walk down to the shop to buy more cigarettes will be a fun idea. At this point none of us are experiencing nausea, and we're all having extreme body rushes, talking shit, stopping half-way through sentences to laugh at shit. The moment i step outside my vision goes completely black, and shit starts to get extremely wacky.
10.45pm - I feel like i'm in a circus walking down the street, weird noises are pulsating through my head, although i can't distinguish what they are as i'm too busy watching the vortex's ahead of my swirling out of control and my friends head looking like some sort of beast from a freak show. The whole time the trip gave me the vibe of being very circusey. I had no clue where i was, i couldn't focus on anything, and a pretty strong nausea had started to settle in by this point. THe whole walk was in complete darkness for me, my peripheral vision was all vortex's and everything seemed so out of proportion. My mate who had taken LSD before started to talk about a rodeo ahead (making it up). As he explained it, my mind began painting the picture, and i watched as a rodeo with light everywhere began to appear up ahead. Luckily we got home quite shortly after this as things were getting way too intense for me.
11.30pm - we were back safely at my mate's house but his mum and little brother throw me off and freak me out. We go up stairs to get some sanctuary but the whole room looks like darkness, all i can see is what's in front of me, which keeps warping and changing, still making me think i'm in a circus. My other mates are tripping just as hard as me. None of them had had a pinga before taking the tab and i think this was why my trip now seperates from theirs.
12.00pm - I am in complete mindfuck, my stomach is on the verge of vomiting, the walls are still breathing, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is on, but watching it only makes me panic more. I start to notice myself going a bit insane. The mindfuck becomes way too much for me and i think i'm going to vomit. I go to the toilet and stand over it, the walls start to pattern and an extremely bright light appears to be shining down over the toilet. I end up not being able to spew, get a glass of water and try to calm myself down.
12.30pm - I am still in complete mindfuck, no matter how hard i try, my mind reverts it back to something bad and makes me sick. I'm not really freaking out, to my friends i look like i'm just spacing out, but inside my head i'm having a shocking time, just waiting for it to finish.
for the next 4 hours it was all the same, the visuals slowly died down, and gave me a better sense of security, although the mindfuck stayed there the whole time. I really couldn't handle it, i don't know if it was too high a dose for my first time or what, but i don't see how anyone could slightly enjoy this drug at a festival or anything, even when my mates were considering inviting over two other close friends to smoke some weed with us i freaked out and asked them not to. The visuals were extremely overwhelming and walking in complete darkness not knowing what was going on and thinking i'm in a circus scared the shit out of me. But what made the experience undesirable for me was the extreme body load/nausea i felt after what seemed to be the peak. I'm not sure whether i was still coming down from the MDMA earlier on or what, but after i got back from that walk, it was all downhill.
I think i could enjoy LSD a lot more if i were to have taken half the dose i took. I just really wasn't ready for the mindfuck it produced, and the extreme warmth/rushes i got.
