I've been looking for Lucy for years, and let me tell you when I found her, it was a beautiful day. Five good friends, A beautiful day, and opportunities for adventures abounding.
We dose, three hits each.
It is eight PM and I am trying to decide whether or not what I'm starting to feel is placebo when I look to the left. My friend is laying on the ground, mouth half-open, eyes wide. He is tripping balls. I grin and ask him how he's feeling. He mumbles something. I feel a sudden rush, and am suddenly in a very 'tryptamine' space, though clearer than anything I'd experienced on mushrooms, and not as sudden as the DMT catapult.
Colors brighten and I am filled with euphoria. Thoughts seem to branch associatively rather than proceed linearly. I begin to get a 'persian carpetting' effect from the leaves silhouetted against the trees. Each leaf appears to have been woven into the others in an ornate and extremely pretty pattern, and as I stare the leaves begin to morph into different shapes, from stars to circles to little webs, all made out of what appears to be leafy material. I start to wander, and as things begin to get intense, I let go.
Things are hazy here. I spend much of the next two hours trying to live my life as hard as I can. The visuals are both vivid and beautiful, though they take a back seat to the infinite layers of reality and life that I'm moving through, each moment the most intense and life-affirming version of itself that it can possibly be. At some point, I play guitar with a friend of mine, and as I lose myself in the music I find myself becoming more and more emotional. My friend sits in awe as I sit and just make things up, playing from the soul. No thinking, just music moving through my body and my mind like I am a conduit for some universal message. I stop, shaking and near tears. After a moment of revelling in the emotion of it all, I get back up and go back to the crazy party happening around us. Its about midnight.
Next I know, I am standing in front of the lake, and I know that I need to be in the water. I take off my pajama pants and my shirt, and I jump in. I dissolve into the water, and it is indescribable. It is also cold, but I don't care. I swim for about five minutes that feel like years, and get out, shivering and way too high to find my pajamas. I run into the party in my underwear, and nobody seems to mind.
For the next two hours, I run from camp to camp drinking and playing music and generally being one with everyone. I feel that through interaction without conscious interference, we can all connect and be one. I feel 'one' with the universe in a literal way, the way that cheese and lettuce and bread are all separate, but they are all the same sandwich. I take long walks along the shoreline thinking, I lay down and let the sky swallow me, I lead four mushroom-inundated kids I met on an adventure around the camp, I joined a drum circle, etc. etc. I have little memory of when precisely any of this occurred, and I barely care. This was the strangest kind of letting go I'd ever felt. I'd never let go in a 'GO LIVE BREATHE DO" way before. I'd only been completely overwhelmed, left writhing in my bed too confused and ego-destroyed to move from psychedelics before. I'd never been overwhelmed in an adventurous way. every moment was LIFE. I felt each branching possibility, each moment stretching before me and I felt that I was consciously choosing which 'quantum probability' I could merge with, guiding my life to a more natural, tranquil place.
By the end of the night, i have found camp and my friends and I are all sharing our adventures, laughing and rambling. I have never had an experience this profound in 40-50 psychedelic experiences, nor have I ever found a substance so benign and uplifting. It was truly beautiful, and more importantly, through the whole thing, one life lesson I take with me always.
