Well, here goes, my first trip report, an unconventional one at that.
Substances consumed: None. Last substance consumed was approx 1/2 a cone of cannabis (around 0.05g) approx. 26 hours ago.
Set: Slightly tired, irritable.
Setting: In my room, well lit (flourescent lighting), comfortable chair, cool room temperature.
Time: 2:50am
+0:00 : Sitting on the Australian #Bluelight IRC channel, talking about my ability to be able to get open eye visuals from smoking cannabis.
+0:03 : Sitting in my seat, I notice that I start to feel as if I have pins and needles, before the sensation quickly intensifys into a fuzzy, prickly sensation that I usually feel with the onset of either LSD or shrooms. I look to the ground, and notice that I am able to make out the same distinct pattern that I am able to see when under the influence of cannabis, LSD or shrooms.
I become incredibly confused by this, trying to understand why it is happening. I talk to various people on IRC, asking a few questions as to their takes on why this was happening to me. Someone mentions that it may be a hallucinogen flashback, which I brush off as a very far off chance, thinking that they don't ofter occur to people.
I focus on the body sensations that I am feeling, and note that if I concentrate harder, I can control the level of the sensations through my body.
+0:15 : At this stage, I'm feeling a bit concerned and overwhelmed with confusion and panic, trying to understand simply why this is happening. Anxiety begins to set in.
+0:20 : I decide to have a quick glance at Erowid's LSD page, to see if there is any information on flashbacks at all, and come across THIS page, an excerpt from the DSM IV about flashbacks. I seem to fit into all the categories for this to be a valid reason, and I cannot come up with any other ideas.
+0:30 : By this stage, I've pretty much accepted that it's a hallucinogen flashback of some descript, and so decide to enjoy it a bit. I sit in front of my heater, and let the hot air blow across my arms. I feel my whole body start to tingle, and then shut my eyes. I can then see what seem to be wavy distortions in my vision, and I feel like I am floating for a second or two, before I jolt as if I'd just fallen back into my chair and open my eyes.
+1:15 (previous current time): Still going, body sensations have mostly died down, pattern still visible on ground. I'm planning on hopping into bed, and watching some late night television, hoping to fall asleep.
+1:35 (current time): I've been too 'jittery' to sleep, body sensations basically completely gone, pattern is faint but visible, not nearly as vivid as it was. I'm going to attempt to get some sleep again now.
Hope this is ok
