LSD, weed, beer - Experienced - "That's exactly what you are supposed to do!"
Hello BL
So, this following report was from friday night at burningman this year. We've been there since monday morning.
Background:
I'm in my mid-late 20's, 6'1" and 220lbs-ish. I smoke weed and drink alcohol pretty much daily, and am experienced with acid and e, having been taking them a few times a year since about 10 years ago. I've also tried other drugs and psychedelics. I've been to burningman twice before, in 2006 and 2008, and I always party "crazier" there (ie take mdma multiple nights in a row, drink all the time, combining things more, drinking absinthe a lot, etc) than at home.
Anyways, if you haven't been to burningman before, its a serious drug unto itself. Bright lights, constant music and art, wonderful people, crazy artcars, harsh environment, radical weather, etc. Its a city of 30-40,000 people and is shaped like a horseshoe, with streets radiating from the center like a clock.
I'm camping with my fiancee A, and a good friend, H, both are also experienced with drugs and psychedelics.
Soooo.... lets get on with it.
Friday night... I've been doing E pills the last two nights (in addition to smoking weed and drinking of course), and tonight I have a hit of really good Acid from a friend. H and I are going to each take a hit of this acid, which is known to be very strong, and my fiancee doesn't like acid but is going to take a big dose of e pills (the ones we've been taking, which are very clean and feel like pure MDMA).
My friend D, from a different camp, is going to join us and take some acid too (its from a different batch than the one I will be taking). He is leaving tomorrow, and I haven't hung out with him much, and want to party with him. He was my college roommate and I don't see him except once or twice a year. We all have bikes and will be biking out to listen to music at Opulent Temple, a sound camp, and wander the playa. You never know what adventures you will have out there.
We all meet in our shade structure, and we get ready (filling up our camelbacks with water, getting glowsticks on us so we can be seen at night, loading the bike basket with extra water, beer, weed, and food for our journey). We make a strong mixed drink to bring with us (A and I drink it over the next few hours). Its around 9:30 or 10 ish when we are ready to go and take our drugs. A takes two pills of e and has another one or two for later, the rest of us dose with our acid.
We head out. How I love the playa at night; all the lights, cool music, and art cars make it amazing spectacle even if you are sober. We bike out across the middle of the city and chain our bikes to a post on the "3'oclock" street to the man, which is somewhat near opulent temple, but away from the craziness/partying, and we should be able to find it later when we need it.
Walking along the "esplanade" (the main street with all the big camps) to opulent temple, I start to feel my acid. I am not getting visuals, but my body feels energized, I feel very healthy and awake. An excitement takes ahold of me, as I know whats coming. My friend H and I are on the same level and we grin at each other as we feel the LSD come on, but my friend D is quiet, and I can't tell if his has hit him yet. My fiancee A is getting really excited and running around, I can tell she can feel the pills kicking in.
The music at opulent temple isn't that fun (dj dan and carl cox, we saw them last year, and they music wasn't that catchy), so we don't dance but we watch the lasers and enjoy looking at all the crazy people. I saw Dj Dan and Carl cox last year at burningman and it wasn't as good this year. The acid is makng my brain go on analytical overdrive. I analyze everything and everyone in terms of evolution and what they are trying to do. Its almost like people are trying to become stuffed animals or chickens (people with crazy fuzzy costumes).
D took more acid that me and H (two hits from a different batch), and he is staring around saying things like "this is too much", i can tell the noise and craziness is overloading him. We step away from the music and people a bit, out into the playa. We decide to go look at some of the other camps.
We go to basscamp, just down the street from opulent temple, which is playing dubstep. Im no dubstep fan, but they have awesome artcars around and have a 30'+ tall giant inflatable tentacle thing that looks like a freaking monster. Its awesome. We all just stand there smiling and laughing. A runs off with my camera to take pictures of art cars. My sense of time is terrible (a minute feels like an hour), and I freak out a bit about her being on her own on drugs running around in all the people. I look around for her but can't find her, so go back to the inflatable tentacle monster. Of course, she comes back with great photos and we decide to walk away from the noise.
We walk out into the playa, away from the city, and I can tell that D is tripping harder than H and I. H and I are running around smiling and laughing, whereas D is walking around, but is staying quiety. I still have no OEVs, but i can close my eyes and see fractal patterns (not overwhelming, but really fun). I'm surprisingly warm, even though i have two layers. D keeps his arms wrapped around him, he's only wearing a t-shirt (we should have thought about getting him a jacket earlier. I have a jacket back in the bike at the 3'o clock street, but we're a ways away).
The first thing we see on the playa is a little flashing pole with letters on it. Its flashing words in what seems like a wierd pattern, but we say it out loud and it comes out as:
"you get what you get and you don't get upset"
I think that's an awesome piece of wisdom, especially on drugs
.
We wander further. I notice a circle in the dust and point it out to D, who is freaked out. The circle couldn't be made by a vehicle or a bike, its too perfect. I say something about it being made by aliens or satanic rituals, and then realize D looks really freaked out, so I laugh it off and talk about something else.
We wander further and find a "tunnel" of lights, suspended on metal hoops like 10' high, spaced out about 5' each. We are approaching it from the side, not the ends. D stops and says " I can't go through the wall" and stops (there is no wall there). I laugh and leap into the tunnel, saying "look, its fine" and run back and forth through the imaginary wall, and D comes in.
During this wandering, I find that walking backwards is a lot of fun and I say "this one time at burningman, i was out in the desert walking backwards on acid!" I keep on laughing.
H says she wants to go walk the perimeter fence, she and I are full of energy. I kind of want to as well, but I doubt D and A would want to. Also, I know I might come down way out there, and we're low on water, and our supplies are way back at the bikes.
We find statues of the letters L O V E out there, with pens for people to write love notes on them. Silly jazz music is playing, and its pretty cute.
Note that this whole time out in the playa you can see opulent temple, also its a full moon and super bright (i kept checking my watch thinking it was sunup, but it was only like 2am), and the wind is blowing from the city.
We see a field of red flags and wander through, with the wind blowing as hard as it is, they make a cool noise.
Then there is a screen out there, and I walk up and see its an image of a dead rotting horse. I know this would be bad for some people on drugs, so I turn around and say " you guys won't like this" to A, D, and H.
at this point we turn around and head back towards the city.
D runs out of water, and we decide to walk back to the bike to get water (we have a stash there). Its like 3-4 am (i forget exactly).
while walking back, A tries to ward D up by putting her warm felt skirt around his midsection. This is hilarious, because D is really confused and high and stands there with his arms trapped under the skirt and is like "this won't work at all".... poor guy. We decide to just get back to the bikes.
We get back to the bikes, get the water and I give my jacket to D. I grab a beer and crack it (at this point, I kind of want to mellow a bit). We smoke a bowl and I can feel the acid kick back into gear. H starts freaking out a bit, and talks about going back to camp. We talk to her for a while and decide to wander around a bit more and then head back. After smoking a bowl, i find that I am getting more CEVs in the form of cool moving fractals when I close my eyes.
Walking towards the man (the burningman statue, which is like 60' tall), we see people walking across the playa, one guy is running back and forth and flapping his arms like a chicken. I say "that's exactly what you are supposed to do!" and we all laugh.
We see a guy lying on the ground with no lights on(not good out here, you'll get run over by a bike or an artcar). We walk by him to see if he's ok, and he lifts his head up and says "I'm a bunny!" and then lies back down. Oh well, we leave him. He's probably high as hell, but he'll probably be ok. Its a crazy place out here.
We see a few more art installations, and then head back to our camp. I'm still tripping pretty strong, and I am confused as to how H wants to go to sleep. A is coming down from her e and wants to go to bed.
I drink a few beers on the way back that were in my bike rack (3 total), but don't feel any real effect.
We get back to camp. We still need to go back and get the bikes, but A and H are going to bed. D has calmed down a bit, but is still tripping and wide awake like me. He and I decide to go out and get the bikes, which will take a while. I grab 4 beers and put them in my cargo pants and we head out (its like 5 am).
Walking with D, we talk about life and the future. He's got a new job across the country and is excited about it. I talk about my life and my upcoming marraige, etc. We get out there, and I have drank all the beers, and don't feel that much different than just tripping (Acid can't be tamed and its always the stronger drug!). I did have to pee a lot though, which was reallly annoying. Next time I'll try to have like a mixed drink or something.
We get the bikes and ride back towards the center of the city. I stop with D at his camp and watch the sunrise (you have to do that at least once out here!), then head back to camp to sit in a chair and pass out.
Conclusions... a great trip with a lot of fun and craziness at burningman. Good times. I don't think i can go to burningman and not do acid, the place is made form tripping. I really enjoy the feeling of acid, and the way it makes my brain work. Still, I will wait a while to integrate this experience before I do any more.
You get what you get and you don't get upset.
I'll be happy to answer any questions.
