This report details an experience I had after consuming marijuana following the consumption of methamphetamine. While the experience outlined in this report includes reference to the consumption of both drugs, I have chosen to focus on the effects resulting from the consumption of marijuana as opposed to the direct effects resulting from the consumption of methamphetamine. While consuming the methamphetamine was enjoyable I do not believe it is of sufficient interest to be the basis for this Trip Report. However I would highlight that had I not consumed methamphetamine I believe I would not have undergone the same experience had I consumed marijuana alone. I believe both the combination of the comedown and the sleep deprivation resulting from taking methamphetamine was a contributing factor to the experience detailed in this report.)

* Background *
The background to this experience was that I had consumed approximately two points (0.2 grams) of methamphetamine on late Sunday evening/early Monday morning. While ordinarily I would be able to sleep relatively easily about 24 hours after consuming methamphetamine, on this occasion I was unable to sleep for an extended period of time; this was concerning as it was over 24 hours since I taken my last dose and I had only slept for fifteen minutes having tried in vain on Monday day and earlier in the evening. I decided to smoke several small cones of marijuana using a water pipe in an effort to either fall sleep immediately, or relax until the effect of the methamphetamine declined so I could then fall asleep.
* Experience *
After smoking two very small cones (each cone containing a quantity of marijuana about the size of 2 grains of rice) I decided to pause before smoking the third; I was conscious that I did not want to become too intoxicated and make myself ill by smoking too much at once. (I have a very low tolerance to marijuana particularly when it is smoked in a pipe, compared to eating an extract.)
After a couple of minutes I glanced at the kitchen bench and experienced something for the first time – I was hallucinating on marijuana. I had never experienced either closed or open eyed visuals before after consuming marijuana even when I had been strongly intoxicated. But in this instance I had clear open eyes visuals. The ‘image quality’ of the visuals was very high – unlike the ‘image quality’ from LSD which I found to be generally low, particularly when examining an indoor environment. As this is a complex concept to explain I will provide another example. I find that the visuals that occur after consuming 2-CI can result in objects changing shape and colour; they often appear blurred around the edges and have a halo of coloured light surrounding them. In this experience there was no colour change and no halo was apparent – my vision was perfectly clear and did not have the distortion characteristic of visuals I have found to be caused by other hallucinogens.
As I looked at the kitchen bench, individual objects sitting on the bench began to move, swaying or tilting from side-to-side. The bench was concurrently beginning to form a gentle and fluid wave pattern similar to small ripples on the surface of a pond. I did not feel similarly affected when looking at other objects around either the lounge room or my bedroom. The wide spacing of the objects on the bench, and the varying shapes, materials and colours of the objects in the kitchen, when contrasted by the solid black marble bench on which they were sitting, provided the clearest showcase of the visual effects I was experiencing. I also experienced multiple auditory hallucinations including hearing voices talking and music which appeared to be at times nearby and at others distant. These voices did not transmit a clear message; they were simply ‘background chatter’ and did not have either positive or negative connotations. The music had a slow tempo and tone and was a tranquil contribution to the experience.

Since writing this report several months ago I have reflected on this incident several times and found that it was in hindsight a welcome addition to the range of hallucinatory episodes I have experienced. The clarity of the visuals, the inoffensive and at times calming nature of the auditory hallucinations and the lack of paranoia or other negative feelings emerging from the event have left me with a sense of joy about an experience that was a complete, but welcome, surprise.
