6:30 PM- 450 ug ingested.
7:15- Alert in the form of increased salivation, chemical taste secondary to post-oral activation. The paper was taken in and swallowed immediately, just to rule out presence of Nbomes by virtue of oral ROA.
7:40- Alert in the form of increased feeling in intoxication, begin in mild visual distortions. Surprised that more is not happening, and the inclination to re-dose is present. I avoid doing so knowing that 450ug, based on reported potency, is significant, and I currently have no psych tolerance to speak of, tryptamine or otherwise.
8:15-Still puzzled, waiting for the shoe to fall. Feelings of intoxication, visual disturbance, slight movement on the periphery, color saturation beginning to increase. No geometry thus far, some OEV’s, though mild, COV’s consist of swirling colors of pastel, smooth and nebulous, some archetypal imagery coming and going with Headphones cranking ( I was listening to Fate’s Warning’s No Exit at the time), seems to be an odd blend of 4-ACO-DMT-type CEV’s and classic tryptamine (lysergamide), with lovely, smooth, soft elements, but no geometric patterning either way. Seemed to see human figures or figurines in the mind’s eye, which blended with archetypal content of a very colorful, pastel type, with lots of softened, smooth, morphing qualities. Wanting to break through already, and wanting something more profound (which would come later). No anxiety on come up, no head fuck, and virtually no body load other than GI discomfort in the form of gas, a desire to spit often, and a good deal of saliva production. Other than that, easy on the body and mind, and while I appreciate the body friendliness, head fuck would be welcome. Again, slow to burn, this one, but very enjoyable.
9:30-Still a bit puzzled at the slow come-up, and strong urge to re-dose, but did not. I was almost ready to give up on this compound, but there were reasonably strong effects, just not overwhelming by any stretch. I have a feeling that exploring this at 750ug will be researched next go-round. As with AL-LAD, for me, I am interested a little psychic discomfort, so I will be pushing the envelope with these two, which I think MAY bring about more L^^-like effects and perhaps more spiritual spaces. For me, someone who likes the ego-crushing effects of 5 or 6+ gr mushroom trips, I am always looking for more than eye candy and “fun”. I had the thought last night that both AL and LSZ were kind of like L** with holes punched in it; that they both have samey attributes when compared to L, but nothing that is totally the “same”. Echoes present of said king of all psychedelics, but by no means an equal. Are these both lovely? Indeed. Are they both incredible? Yes. Will they have the horsepower to go to more spiritual realms? I know AL does, as I have been there. I believe LSZ will as well, with doses perhaps exceeding 600ug, but that’s just me. I like pushing the envelope.
9:50- Went outside to a beautiful evening; it is clear, my senses are heightened dramatically, color saturation is pretty deep, and the sky is azure, clear of clouds, and splendid. I smoke a cigarette. It tastes nice as I watch cars go by with tails, and soak in the beauty of being outside. No anxiety, NO paranoia or neurotic thoughts, I feel like I could go out into the night for a walk without fear, but I am enjoying the gentle push of the compound. Other than gas, virtually no body load, no increase in heart rate, very small increase in BP as checked by cuff, and again, this is probably the most easy-to-deal with psych at this dosage I’ve taken. I can see this being a compound for those seeking the non head-fuck psych experience, or at least the potential for that at lower dosages. 4-ACO-DMT is far more “chaotic” than LSZ, as a means of comparison. LSZ seems to be easier to reign in, at least at this dose.
11:30- Suddenly, I begin to feel a push to peak, and an increase in OEV’s in the form of a sudden, deep, color saturation that was markedly different from what came in previous hours. I went outside. I felt something being hinted at earlier, that is, a feeling of largeness of experience, of affinity with the outside, with nature, and with a real profundity of what I was seeing and feeling. It was clearly a peak, and it was clearly different than all which came before. It was the moment I was waiting for, and took about 5 hours to get to. It was sublime, beautiful, and felt like some moments in the past in which I had epiphanies with L**, where everything was so grand, so lush, so deep, and so psychologically profound. It was grand, but just disappointed me that I hadn’t felt it longer. That said, the peak lasted for about another 1.5 hours, and the both OEV’s and COV’s persisted at a greater degree. I then watched Session 9 in hi def, and it was pretty mind-blowing, as the OEV’s that dropped on me suddenly, persisted for some time. I was immersed in the film experience to the point of getting “lost” in it.
12:45- Come down in process, went on through for a few hours, and benzo infusion ensued at 3AM. Thankfully, as this compound had legs, and NO DOUBT I would have been up through 6 AM at least without the sedation compound. More legs in that way, in fact, than AL-LAD, which kept me up for a very long time during comedown.
Thoughts-This is a fine compound with applications specific to it. It smacks of classic tryptamine psychedelic, though different. Both AL and LSZ are very unique, beautiful, and can be wonderful tools. With the very slow come up, LSZ should be administered very early, something it and AL have in common, so as to time things in accordance to what you plan and when you plan to get “done”. It, like Al, have an exotic feel do to their novelty and uniqueness, and again, I feel will be harder hitting at higher doses. I have a feeling the lack of mind fuck at low dosage can be overcome with going into > 700 ug realms. I plan to go to there and beyond, and I get the distinct impression that things CAN get WAY headier, and way deeper all across the board. And in closing, I have to say that both AL and LSZ are about as kind to the body as anyone could ever imagine. Mushrooms are crushing, and fuck your program up the next day. I always need a day to recover from the ego-shattering and heavy body load of psilocybin, but it’s worth it. I have done heroic doses of L** many times, and while much deeper, generally (god like at times), the body load and mind fuck are exhausting, and require a day of “recovery”. With both AL and LSZ, I feel like a fucking champ the next day; no headache, no body ache, no anxiety, no depression, no nothing. Clean as a whistle, and while having limitations, both are gorgeous and worthy of the canon of psychedelics. I must say that both AL and LSZ have impressed, and I see great potential for these tools, and because they are kind, overall, they are that much more useful for those, perhaps, that may be enlightened by the associated experiences offered by the two at low ro medium dosages. To me, they are like companion compounds, which I would use for different purposes, at different times. Like AL, LSZ feels like it would be just lovely for a festival and/or outstanding musical performance. Because they lack the inherent paranoia and anxiety of the sister lysergic compound, I could see them be more user friendly that way and allow one out into a community environment.
