Muddy water and muddier feet.
Note: When I say experienced, I mean with psychedelics and the experience in general. I am not experienced with this chemical, whatever it may be, at all.


So let me first tell you that I cannot be entirely sure this was LSD. An old friend (whom I trust with the key to my walk-in freezer) put a small tablet in my mouth after telling me to close my eyes. When I asked him why he would not tell me what substance it was that I had ingested, he told me it was to simply purify the experience.

Now seeing as the tablet was rather large, it first dawned on me that I had some MDMA or MDA in me. But it was nothing like MD(M)A from what I have experienced.

In around 40 minutes I could define within myself an electrical sort of sensation, much like the feeling you get 30 minutes after some good mushroom tea. I felt as if I was missing something, overlooking some sort of minor detail. However, the restlessness/need to be active I usually experience on LSD was not present.

I only say it was LSD because in an hour it was unignorable, in three hours I was feeling amazing, and in sixteen hours I looked at a clock and did some quick math.

Now for details.

We start back at this "electric" sensation - anyone who has experienced a reasonably weighty dose of cubensis knows it. If I did not know I had eaten a pill, at this point I would have assumed I had consumed five or so grams of good cubensis.

From that point on, everything began taking on an extremely "real" quality. No distortions or hallucinations as of yet, just a bit more contrast between the blue of my coffee mug and the brown of my hat.

T + 1:30 - I start to notice that everything seems to extend towards me. People that I know are many yards away seem to be growing closer, and then I give that specific idea a name - ego.

I have become the center of my experience, and I didn't like that. I have NEVER experienced an ego boost from an LSD trip, but that's exactly what this was. After noticing the nature of the lift, however, it faded and the world around me became much more important than myself.

This could just be my own mind working as a catalyst for the experience, but regardless it was extremely "different."

T + 2:00 - As I sit and view the world around me, I start to recognize patterns in it all. This is something that happens in all of my LSD experiences, so you can see why I am at this point confused as to what I am going through. I am enjoying it, but it is indeed new and curious.

I notice that the way I am living is through circles. I break down the system of respiration in my mind, and time seems to dilate far beyond what I have ever known it to before. The idea is now that this could not be LSD.

I was either rotating my head at an imperceptible speed or I was simply experiencing one movement for a very long time, but it seemed like I could feel every aspect of living. I remember being done with a very deep breath, and I felt a cold sensation run up and into my head, which then became warm and soothing and spread through my body. And then I hit it.

With my head, I struck a piece of plywood that was sitting at an odd angle behind the couch. I remember very slowly moving my head into it and feeling as if my head was imploding. I looked at the piece of plywood as the many pieces of tree scattered, obviously scared of the guy who just headbutted them, and I realized that the plywood was floating.

I can go into my basement right now and look at this same piece of plywood, and it happens to be leaning up BEHIND the couch and not protruding in the way I saw it to be at all. So there's another non-LSD quality: complete removal of fact from the experience.

So I'm into it about three hours now, and everything seems to be radiating a sort of light. I feel weightless as I move across my floor and up the staircase, and to an air hockey table my son bought me for Christmas ("you need the challenge, old man") on which I sort of half laid there for a while. The friend who gave me the dose joined me in the game. I know he wasn't trying to, but he was fucking with me pretty hard.

Once we got the machine on and it had air pumping, it seemed like I got extremely close to the table's surface. Every little hole, however, kept getting larger until eventually the table was completely black.

Woah. LSD? I think not.

The puck is bright orange, so when I placed it onto the table it was orange on black. I focused on it and completely lost track of time, but I heard my friend (finally) as he repeated the same thing: "hit it my way, and we'll do this slowly."

I heard the words so many times, and it took me a while to understand them. I took my hand-beater thing and gave the puck a good tap. It split in two, and both pucks began moving in circles towards my friend.

I didn't notice how it happened, but the table was yet again white. My friend hit one of the pucks and it divided, and this continued until the table had 7-10 pucks on it. Then they started getting sucked into the air outlets. Eventually we ended up with just one puck again, and I quit.

I can no longer estimate the time, because it was seriously that intense. A minute meant nothing - I remember walking back down to ground level for what could have easily been hours. I seem to recall full-blown conversations with many people on my way down a total of maybe 40 steps.

Once downstairs, everything took on a wiry appearance. People's figures became as thin as baling wire, and they whipped about as they walked or moved.

Many times I would look outside and the trees would be sinking into the ground. I also distinctly remember seeing a couple clouds combust and leave thick black smoke in the sky.

I want to experience this again.

But I have no idea what it was.

It was wonderful.

I don't think I wrote enough, honestly.

Beautiful report. Very well written. And your description of what you saw is quite clear. I feel like I'm watching it all happen myself.

It might be LSD. Did your friend tell you it's LSD? (Does he know at all?) He's kinda a douchebag if he gave you a chemical and doesn't know himself what it is, and didn't disclose that fact to you. :p

I get very strong visual hallucinations including color transitions, outright warping of objects I'm staring straight at, and superimposition of fractal patterns over my visual input. That segment about the air hockey table, and the dividing puck sounds wonderful.

LSD can come on large tablets; if your friend (or his hookup) dropped a drop of liquid onto a sweet-tart, for example.

I dunno. Everything you've described can certainly be ascribed to a strong acid trip. Then again, it might be something else entirely. Who knows. But even if you get the same chemical again, your experience will be entirely different, I'm sure. :) Happy tripping.
 
The no-telling thing is an example of our trust, he sees us like brothers and tells me he wants to treat his brothers as he'd like them to treat him. He's deeply into a lot of the spiritual connectedness of things, and it was a shared experience because he too ate one of them.

We do these things at pretty regular intervals, it's just that this time it was different enough to tell you guys!

And yeah, in retrospect it was a lot like LSD so I'm assuming it's just a liquid dose straight on and out.

It was wonderful.

Yeah, LSD lasts about 12 hours in me then drops off pretty quickly (usually I fall asleep then).
 
Nice descriptive report. LSD usually seems to only really be full blown for 8 hours or so for me and then slowly dies, then slightly comes back and then I go to bed.
 
So, even though you "want to experience this again," your friend won't tell you what you took? Even now, afterwards? Something's fishy here.

wth? If he's your "brother," then he should respect you enough to be HONEST with you. If you ask him for an answer "what was/is this drug," he should respond immediately and truthfully, or else say "I don't know." If he is comfortable with dropping mystery doses you give him and doesn't want to know what the substance is ahead of time, that's cool. But if you're curious as to what just happened, you should ask what it was and he should tell you. If he doesn't, that's not being a "brother," that's being irresponsible.

It's just annoying that if you're going to post a big thread here and spend the whole time wondering what it was and trying to spark some sort of debate, you should at least just ask him first :p
 
Well, if the Audiocide is happy not knowing, then I don't see why we should care. If, on the other hand, he would really like to know and his friend refuses to tell him... well, that may be a different story.

If he doesn't know, then what possible purpose is served by this thread? Should we refer to it whenever we take unknown doses of unknown drugs? For the record, I think this was made up.
 
I mainly wrote it because it was a very profound experience, and I have come to believe that it was LSD, as this specific friend has always specialized in such products.

He told me he'd prolly have more next time from the same source.

So essentially this report was to show just how "different" everything can seem when you're not buying into what you have experienced previously.

Many times my friends (and I'm sure at least one person you all know) have demonstrated the power of placebo.

I did my best to describe it, but the difference is so completely seperate that at one point I just knew it couldn't have been LSD.

Think what you will - I've always been an advocate for "knowing the self," and understanding that simply approaching the same situation from a different side constitutes the idea of learning from experience.

edit: Just to point out that I wasn't exactly too worried about what he was because I trust the guy we're talking about here. If I came up to him and asked him what it was in a serious way, I know he would tell me.

But then that would completely dissolve the memory of that, this sort of beautiful ignorance.

If I never know what it was I took, I don't care. Maybe it helps me in a way it couldn't help you.
