Thanks again! And yes, I was actually quite surprised how well the alcohol went with it.

Particularly considering that it has never been the case for me with other psychedelics! I have to say that I felt very strongly that this was because, also unlike other psychedelics for me, the alcohol was not enough to inhibit the trip much if at all. Feeling somewhere between tipsy and drunk while still with that physical and cognitive buzz and still being able to close my eyes and see colors swirling around was certainly a unique experience! I did feel as well though that I was able to feel more traditionally drunk during the peak, as opposed to the plateau during which it took a background role. I definitely think you're on to something there.
I was thinking quite a lot about how you've described the two phases during it actually. The second one was definitely the most enjoyable, no doubt about that, and reminded me a lot of how I feel in the more lucid phase of LSD as well. I would have to say though that I was actually unexpectedly impressed by the first phase too though; even though it was more uncomfortable physically, the hallucinations it gave me were quite deep and played into the exact kind of delirium which happens to be one of my favorite effects from psychedelics period. I am actually a little saddened that the vasoconstriction puts a limit on the dose because quite frankly I
could see myself pushing that very deep just like how I would use a tryptamine or LSD! I would very much expect it to take me to a similar realm, though I also believe it would be intolerable for me at that point, but perhaps once I find my perfect supplement dose and everything for fighting the vasoconstriction I can try pushing a bit higher towards it. :D I will definitely try the L-arginine with it next time as well, and probably aim closer to 1.5-2 mg. Since I've got plenty to work with I figure that baby steps (after this first trial anyway) will probably be the best way to go.
And yeah, I can't tell you how many times I stopped and said to myself "This is supposed to change suddenly after ten hours??", haha. But it did not disappoint in the end. Considering that much of the trip until then was something I'd describe along the lines of being like an equivalent dose of LSD but heavier in nearly
every way (visually, physically, even just general feeling of intoxication), the sudden switch into something easygoing and fun was very welcome and pleasant. I definitely thought it was a much better way to end the trip than just having the first phase fade out would have been.
As for today, I actually do feel really nice, which I also attribute strongly to the second phase. I do have some slight stomach upset, but I suspect that that is entirely due to the alcohol. I would like to try it without it next time, even though they did mix well. Perhaps it was for that reason too though, but I actually did manage to get a full night of sleep pretty easily. I can force myself to sleep without too much trouble six hours into several hits of LSD though, so I had a hunch I could do it.

I was quite pleased with that fact too considering that this was already pushing what I honestly feel might be the highest dose I think I'll ever normally need already, it gives me a lot less apprehension about dosing than I had previously from hearing all of these accounts of 30+ hour trips!
Anyway, I'm a little busy today but I'm slowly working on a trip report for it as well, so I expect that will be up at some point.
