So on Sunday my best friend and I were originally planning on taking 300ug of LSD, but instead decided to go for a more laid back and recreational trip. We decided to take 300ug of AL-LAD. I've used AL-LAD many times at a dose of 150ug and 225ug, LSZ all the way up to 300ug (with 225ug being my sweet spot) and I've done LSD a number of times that is almost into triple digits.
300ug AL-LAD was one of the most intense psychedelic experiences of my entire life. It was like a completely different drug than 225ug, to such an extent that I'm actually entertaining the "hot spot" theory of AL-LAD blotters. It was a lot of fun for a while, it was one of the most euphoric drug experiences I've had apart from pure tested MDMA. We thought we were peaking, but then all of the sudden at 5:15 pm we realized we had ACTUALLY hit the peak. The same feeling that previously was euphoria increased to such a level of intensity that it was no longer pleasurable, nor was it unpleasant. It was just pure overwhelming intensity, no words can describe the sensation. Visually it was impressive, but I've seen crazier. But the intensity... the only thing that tops it is breakthrough level DMT. Intensity is too light of a word to describe the physical and emotional maelstrom that I endured.
It was honestly the closest I've ever come to losing my shit on psychedelics. I just wanted to curl into a fetal position and wait for it to calm down. But while I've been tripping regularly for 8 years, my friend has been tripping for only 11 months. I knew that if I lost it, he wouldn't be able to weather the storm alone. I had to keep reminding myself that everything was fine- it was a beautiful spring day, we were in my backyard with a beautiful view of the mountains, and I was with my best friend. At times it was wonderful, even sublime, but then it would quickly swing back to being too much. We didn't speak much and just walked back and forth in my yard, breathing deeply and listening to the Dandy Warhols.
After exactly 50 minutes it calmed down. We were still tripping very very hard, but it was much more manageable and very enjoyable. We ended up laughing about how seriously we had underestimated AL-LAD and how caught off guard we were. We each had a couple of beers and reflected upon what was one of the most intense experiences of either of our lives. It was interesting to say the least and gave me a new appreciation for the true power that AL-LAD can actually have.
In other news, my relationship with my girlfriend is going fabulously! We've only been seeing eachother since mid February, but it's already the most intense relationship I've ever had. I'm no stranger to serious long term relationships, but what I feel for this girl has actually made me reexamine what I thought love was. It's been a whirlwind of intense passion, the type of relationship I never imagined actually existed in the real world. So that's been absolutely amazing.
And I have the next three days off of work! I haven't had three days in a row off since January of 2013, when I was recovering from breaking both of my feet in the army. I requested these days for my birthday, which is Friday. I'm turning 26 and my girlfriend and I will be celebrating by eating sushi and attempting to break our record for how many times we've made love in one day (the current record is five times in one day). So it should actually be my best birthday celebration in a very long time
though she doesn't seem to mind too much when we're out clubbing lol. Think she even likes rubbing it in other girls' faces actually :D
so game on when we visit the states 
) and I didn't want to be the third wheel. But now I'm going to see Govt Mule tomorrow night.
