Yeah man it was intense. Perfect first festival, very loving vibe, I didn't meet anyone who wasn't awesome. I'm super drained and scattered today though and yesterday was like a weird dream that was very difficult to get through at the end. I did take MDMA twice, once at a full dose with a large dose of LSD, and once in a small dose on top of methylone and then a bunch of MXE, so that's surely contributing.

I think that's pretty normal after a festival. Even without the drugs, I think I would be pretty scattered and out of it after a few days of dancing in the heat and not getting much sleep. But the experience is so worth it. I can deal with a few days of feeling fuzzy if it means I get to have an experience like that. I can't wait for next summer when I'll be able to afford to go to more festivals lol.

 

[xammy]

Xorkoth I had pretty similar feelings about the Forest Festival I was at two months ago rest well a few days and enjoy having been able to have the most amazing time one could have. you'll have the memories with you forever

 

[Xorkoth]

Ah, work is so hard today! I feel so cloudy. I slept 10 hours last night but I'm still passing out in my chair and my head feels stuffed with cotton.

 

[Tralen]

When I went to that festival back in April, I ended up having to work at 6am the day after the festival. We left, got home in time to shower, and then I left for work. That was the hardest work day I've ever had. I was falling asleep on my feet. Next time I'll be sure to ask off for the days following the festival as well

 

[Xorkoth]

Yeah good call... we even left early on Sunday instead of staying for the evening. I didn't feel tired at all during the festival, boundless energy, but evidently I tired myself right out.

EDIT: And I'm really bummed I lost 7 hits of really awesome acid, plus my 2C-E and rest of my gram of MXE... at least I still have most of a gram of MXE at home, and I managed to keep ahold of the weed I bought. I'm hoping it will turn up in my friends' things... I kept it in a double bag in his cooler, and I looked there yesterday before I went home and didn't see it but I can't count on anything I did yesterday, I was barely able to leave his house with my car keys and then drive home. 8(

 

[Tralen]

Yeah man, losing shit sucks. I lost 5 hits of the best acid I ever had, and 40 mg of 4 ho met when I was at Counterpoint. I was gonna eat the 4 ho met right before sphongle came on. I was so pissed I lost it.

 

[Xorkoth]

I lost all my drugs at various points and found them all every time too (or someone did at least), except I fear this time it was permanent. Oh well I can get more and at least I still have my DOC and weed. Best I don't trip for a little while anyway, I feel more brain fried than I ever have right now from psychedelics. I definitely went hard for my first festival. Paying for it a little now but I'm glad I did it.

 

[SONN]

I lost a strip of really good acid just because I was on mxe in my house hahah

glad to hear a glowing report from you xorkoth I reallllllyyy wanted to go, but virginia is one too many states away.

tbh, nitrous is the main drug that makes me feel like i'm losing brain cells, but only after doing a certain amount of it. I'm glad you enjoyed candy flipping, and the sense of freedom you get at a festival, it is awesome isn't it? I cried the monday after bisco and I didn't even trip, I only rolled on the second night and did coke + ketamine all three nights, and I was also having feelings of being in some sort of alternate reality. Your mind is having so much fun it has to rationalize it with crazy metaphysical theories hahah

I bet you taking a multivitamin every day for a week or so would probably make you feel a lot better, I've been tuckered out by DOC before too.

 

[Xorkoth]

I didn't do much nitrous, just a few inhales each night. And to be honest, in retrospect I wish I had stuck to just the LSD, adding MDMA made me feel fairly out of it. The LSD I feel would have made more a more memorable night, I was feeling the music a lot more before the MDMA. I enjoyed it, it was great, but it's the one thing I'd change. The first night I had an amazing time taking methylone and a bit of MDMA from a friendly stranger and a friend, it might actually be my favorite overall night because I also had a magical MXE experience in the later part of the night, the best MXE of the weekend too.

I think honestly the biggest thing for me right now isn't the tiredness and drained feeling, it's the extreme nature of the consciousness shift I experienced, mostly just because of the environment, which is SO different from our normal lives. It was like experiencing paradise, and then having it taken away again, while you're still reeling from it. Way more intense than I expected, I knew it was going to be fun but it was like a different time and place that was so beautiful. I miss it. At least I get to go home to Asheville which is kinda like that anyway.

 

[Help?!?!]

Haha, festivals are the shit! I'm so glad we have one of the nations best permanent, year round festival site! It's such a wacked out place! There's nothing like rolling and tripping hard as fuck, chain smoking all the joints being passed around on a beach with a full moon, at the perfect temperature, then having an unknown jam band bust out the Super Mario Bros theme song perfectly on their instruments after doing normal covers! Plus the place is like an open air drug mart with everything you could want from LSD to good opium with people just calling out their names as you pass by their camp site. Plus the entire area just reeks and I mean reeks of top notch headies 24/7. Also the place is crazy because it has no lighting for the night! We sure learned that the hard way the first trip when no one informed us of this and we had no flashlights! Thank god a super nice group of people wandered by when we were pretty far from our site in the woods in the pitch black. Of course we were mangled which just made it worse! Without them we probably would have been wandering around linked till morning! People do some weird shit there too! Ahhh makes me want to go to Gory at the Quarry! People walking around in crazy costumes all night on All Hallows' eve! Oh yeah and I forgot to mention the fun of bagging up your drugs on the hot days and swimming out to the small island in the middle of the quarry or diving off ledges into the super clean water!

Sonn, simply remember that first and foremost, if you have the might, courage, and grace to accept and love yourself, your never truly alone! Not to mention if you properly carry the fires of friendship and love bestowed to you and keep it close to your heart, how are you ever really alone? Be glad as well as sad that you released yourself from that sort of poison before it caused your downfall. Everyone wants to believe the world is a wonderful place and the world itself is, but the people and things that inhabit it...? I don't think so! Things aren't perfect, you can't do whatever your heart desires, people don't always change, tragedy happens, etc. If you can accept these facts without being put down by them or let it negatively poison your will then you will be one powerful being! Also totally agree about the opis, got IV lorazepam as well as hydromorphone at the same time and that was my same thought. I'd take IM'd over IV anyday and only really care about IM'ing certain things like dissociatives or the like. Everything else is oral or plugged.

 

[Xorkoth]

Really good post Help.

I agree, people do a bunch of crazy shit at Lockn. But that's so awesome! Just being with all of these unique people who are having as much fun as you, and meet them and be friends. Did you end up going? Obviously I didn't see you, not that I probably even would have randomly because of the crowds.

I'm having a pretty intense re-integration with the normal world... 4 days of a festival pretty much rocked my world, it's weird knowing that this alternate, beautiful reality exists and happens regularly at many places and times, so different from how we normally live, and that I jived with so much. It was honestly a really powerful experience, and I'm reeling from it a bit. Also still feeling the sheer exhaustion from it. I really miss it though, that's the worst part. Today I would have just slept in the shady forest grove that has amazing laser shows at night, cool and comfortable on the ground. With friends and like-minded strangers, and we could hang out and listen to music at night. Instead I worked, which was kinda weird feeling.

 

[Dondante]

I'm having a pretty intense re-integration with the normal world...

I hear you. It was really hard to come back from Bonnaroo back in '06...such an intense and amazing experience. Haven't been to another festival since, sadly. I almost went to Burning Man this year, but circumstances didn't allow. Ah well, there's always next year...

Anyway, be patient with yourself...reintegration may be harder due to the fact that you probably have 2 serotonin molecules left in your entire brain. Rest assured, you'll be back to normal soon enough.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

refreshing rain, but there were NO RAIN CLOUDS.

Had this happen to me in Hawaii, it's pretty crazy.

Anyway, sounds like a lovely, wonderful experience you had at the festival. I'm happy for you.


Someday y'all, someday I will own a gosh darned tiffany lamp:

This one goes out to roger, 'cause he loves it as much as I do:

There's nothing wrong with some Lorde every now and then, THR

What did you think of Weird Al's take on her? Fun stuff.

 

[psy997]

I thought it was awesome THR, like seriously genious

 

[xammy]

Almost placed an order for MXE but glad I didnt. I'm not sure I could resist taking it too often.. better to wait at least another month. Maybe I get some of the magical feelings again the longer I wait =)

 

[Xorkoth]

You will get the magic back man, if you wait. I did MXE a little bit or a lot each of the 3 festival nights, by the end it was not nearly as magical. In fact only the first night was truly magical. Walking back to camp in a huge mass of crowded people after the music felt like we were all molecules of water, flowing towards the faucet, whereupon we *dripped* out and began flowing freely and randomly. My friend who I was mentally connected to (both on MXE) felt the same way, we just looked at each other and were like, that's what this feels like! I combined it with methylone/a bit of MDMA that night, it really was a great combination.

I feel much better today, still a little down I suppose but things feel pretty normal again which is good. Still tired too but a lot less so.

 

[zzz101]

^dude, i can understand that feeliing of when you were walking back to your camp. and the crowd 'dripped' out.

i once did MXE on mdma comedown, it was amazing. the night was amazing. one of those mdma adventures where things happen you don't forget, and where you walk more so than anytime on your life of mdma.

i love MXE. a shame i don't know ANYONE who likes it enough to do it going out, instead of coke or mdma, alch >.<

yeah the magic goes very quicky, but comes back with short break as you already know.

 

[Xorkoth]

I guess I'm lucky, I have a few friends who are into MXE, and at the festival everyone got down (half of them had never done it before either). MXE is so much more fun with other people because you get that group mind stuff.

 

[xammy]

My friends like MXE too, actually one of them introduced me to mxe =) I really have to keep it only on weekends or something, it loses the magic so fast if you do it every night.. I remember at last day with my bag I had done ~120mg, smoked weed and drank some beers and I was chilling with my friends. I was pretty fucked up it was fun, but the experience was only a shadow of what it could've been without tolerance..

Xorkoth I fucking love DOC man, I took half a blotter at this school event last week where everyone got drunk etc. I love them low doses for partying! Of course I drank pretty decent amount of alcohol too but they go perfect together
