Some info about myself:
Age: 18
Drugs that I've had before: alcohol, marijuana, speed, ecstasy and nitrous
Earlier in May this year i first had my experience with acid. I had been told about 4 weeks prior that my friend was going to get some blotters and he along with a group of friends were going to do it at his birthday party. Acid was something that i thought would be exciting to do but at the same time i was worried about becoming a nut case after taking it because of some of the stories that I've heard about it.
I didn't really know what to expect with it, i knew i'd get some visuals and some mood changes but that was it.
I find that it is something that you have to experience yourself as I have struggled to even try to explain what it was like to my friends.
About a week before I tried acid I met a guy at a pill party and told him I was going to do it later in the week. He reassured me that it would be a great time and that I would have to psyche myself, “get myself excited” about it. All through that week I made sure that I was eating right and feeling good about myself and trying to get into a happy mood before I did it so I would not have a bad trip. These were some great words of advice.
So we arrived at the party about an hour late to find two people (who i had never met before) who had already taken one blotter each. I and about 6 other people, 2 of which i had never met before in my life dropped half a tab each because the guy we got them off said that the acid was “insane” and that half should be more than enough for first timers. This was about 9:45 pm.
+1hr: I was not really feeling anything and was trying to stare at shit so I might bring on the visuals or something like that, this didn't work at all. I began to think that maybe we got duds or something like that. The two dudes that dropped the full tabs were still acting pretty normal until one of them stared right at me and burst into this hysterical laughter. I instantly became pretty paranoid because I didn't know him and was not sure if he was a first timer as well, I began to think like maybe hes experienced and he's laughing at me for what I'm about to get myself into. By the end of the night i realised that this was just the acid taking its first effects on him.
+2hrs: I first began to feel the affects, they were really gentle and were not scary at all. My first hallucination was seeing the lighting in the room turn kind of brownish/gold and seeing tracers on people as they were walking around, this was really cool. We also stared at the blotters which were pictures from dexters laboratory and they appeared to be dancing which at the time was fucking hilarious.
+3hrs: The people that I didn't know in the group were part of a band and started to play some instruments. The two that were on acid were keyboard and piano and another guy who wasn't tripping was playing the electric guitar. The music was INCREDIBLE, they were able to bounce off each other and make up melodies and crazy tripped out music on the spot. The audio quality in the room was amazing and the music seemed to be coming from everywhere. The music was dictating our feelings, upbeat parts of the music making us all feel happy as fuck. This was one of the most amazing parts of the night and made me wished i could play an instrument too.
After this point I have absolutely no recollection of time, for some reason I was telling myself that I have to read my watch upside down to tell the right time, heh.
The effects were quite enjoyable but I thought that I would like to get a full experience so I dropped another tab and waited for it to hit me.
The group went for a walk to a local oval and it felt really cool all walking together, I hardly knew any of these people but we were all becoming good friends and it felt as if we were all walking together as one. There were small grassy hills on the way and the combination of the smell of the grass and the small incline made me feel like i was climbing a small mountain or something, like i was in the middle of nowhere with just nature around me. I began to think “shit, there might be some crazy people in the park at night”, then it hit me that we were the crazy people.
I laid on my back on the oval and faced the night sky, this was amazing, i was just stuck in the gaze as the colours from the clouds were so intense and the formations of the clouds were mind blowing. I had never ever seen formations like this before and it was almost like God had created it just for this night, just for us. The patterns changed from clean cut clouds sliced by sharp knives, to swirls to random patterns that looked like a toddlers finger painting. The whole sky was covered in purple and at one stage appeared to be a massive Trilobite moving across my field of vision.
At the oval there was also a grandstand that we decided to climb, it was quite high and the climb to the top felt like it took a fucking year. At the top it was amazing to look down onto the grass below, it really felt like i was in the coliseum or something amazingly grand like that, the echos and the voices of people could be heard and this was beautiful.
After arriving home my cousin was starting to have a bad trip. He kept going on about these different “perceptions” he was having and was really over analyzing everything. My friend told him something about a wave that is perpetually breaking and this really made my cousin flip out. He started to think that maybe he was going to be stuck like this forever because he had forgotten what normal reality was like. This spread to me like a disease and i instantly thought the same thing, like “fuck, what if i end up schizophrenic or something”.
A smaller group had wandered off for a walk as well and he was getting quite worried about them so he rang them on his phone. I watched him and heard a person on answer and say something like “hello”. My cousin instantly looked at me and his eyes seemed to grow to the size of golf balls and seemed to just be the epitome of desperation or something like that which really freaked me out. I began to ask him of they were dead or something bad had happened to them. He was stiff as a board and eerily quiet, we had to almost carry him down stairs and try to calm him down. We put him to bed and he seemed to drop off to sleep quite quickly.
My visuals would be really intense for about 10 minutes and then I'd feel as if i was normal again for about 5 minutes, then I'd be tripping harder than before for another 10 minutes. It was as if there was no plateau, it was kind of scary and made me think like maybe I should try and get some sleep too. I decided to that we should have some weed and that would make me feel tired and i'd be able to get a good nights sleep. BIG mistake. As i inhaled the joint i felt pretty normal as the visuals had worn off, as i exhaled the smoke came out my nose and seemed to hit me in the face like a freight train and i knew that i was tripping harder than ever. I estimate this was about 7-8 hrs after dropping the acid.
We were listening to an album by tool called Lateralus. I had never listened to Tool before as i am more into hiphop, but this shit was fucking amazing. I was getting tons of OEV and CEV's, one that i can recall is seeing lines and lines of different Arabic writing in my field of vision, I kinda know what Arabic looks like but i am not Arabic and don't even know how to read any of it. At one stage the music was getting so heavy that i felt my heart beating like crazy, i was getting really pumped up and stared down at my forearms which appeared to be as thick as tree trunks and i was gritting my teeth with clenched fists trying not to freak out. I eventually had to run into another room and just try to chill the fuck out because my heart was beating so damn fast. I was too afraid to go out there and listen to more of the music because i thought it might provoke another incident like that.
I moved into the kitchen and saw two people that I knew, i was tripping very hard and began to think that maybe I was the only one in the group that was still feeling the effects. I asked my friend how he was going and he said that he was fine, the other person said that he was also fine. I told them that i was going good. Just as I did that the whole room started to glow bright white and a voice in my head said to me in this really calm and cool voice “You just lied. You thought you could handle me...Well...I'm going to fuck you up now”, and i once again had to run out of the room and try to calm myself down as I really thought that i was going insane. Maybe i would never be the same again after this.
As the night dragged on i was becoming quite bored of the visuals and kind of just wanted to get some sleep, which would be basically impossible. I was very relieved to find out that i wasn't the only one who was tripping his ass off and others around me were feeling it just as hard. The sunrise is one of the most intensely beautiful experiences of my life. I looked out as the sun was coming and i can only describe the colours of that morning as “deep”, i could fall into them, they were so magical. I had to turn my head away because it was way too intense, but at the same time so great that i forced myself to have another look.
It still felt as if the intensity was gaining in strength every 10 minutes or so and I thought to myself that this shit has to wear off sometime. Near the end it basically just dropped right off and i was normal again, slightly tired but just stopped seeing stuff as intense. There was basically no come down or anything like that, other than being slightly over-talkative.
I checked my watch and it was 11 am. I had been tripping for about 12-13 hours all up.
My first feelings after it was finished is that I would love to do it again, but maybe in a years time or something like that because it was really overwhelming. Definitely one of the best experiences of my life and even though I did have some unpleasant parts in the trip this was fine with me as I was able to overcome this and learn from the experience.
If anyone is thinking about doing acid I say go for it if you think you can handle it.
