No such thing as tripping on 500ug of acid for shits and giggles man, it’s very normal to feel shaken.Thanks man. I wouldn't count it as a bad trip. I think of bad trips as those with anxiety and paranoia. I didn't experience that. Only profound sadness. But grief can be very releasing once you get it all out, so I kind of hope the trip has triggered a process of really getting out some pent up negativity. I've often been a go tripping for shits and giggles kind of person but I'm respectful of the potential for significant long term psychological effects (good and bad) from acid. I found it really interesting that the first thing I did when I woke up after the trip was go lock up all my drugs for a week. I just didn't want them and didn't want to be thinking about them. It was kind of only the money invested in them that stopped me flushing them (there was a few grands worth of meth). I thought I'd give it a week and pass it on to someone who'd appreciate it if I still felt the same way.
The big realisation or feeling of the trip was how disconnected I am from people socially. I'm too much of a loner (for reasons I spent hours realising and recalling while I was tripping) and I don't want to be. It's clear the amount of meth I smoke inhibits good healthy social connections (I'm just a super functional loner but can't even manage a coffee date with another person). It will be interesting to see how my current feeling of distaste for other drugs continues as I reflect on and integrate this trip. A good cry never really hurt anyone.
All I know for the moment is I'm not the same guy usually moderating around the place here anymore. My sense of humour has taken a little holiday and I feel very serious. It's interesting what you say about big trips causing you to cut back on booze. Stimulants (prescribed) caused me to quit drinking. It would be cool if acid caused me to go another step and quit stimulants.
Memories fade however, the distaste for oneself, lifestyle and some drugs fades as well, it’s the carousel I’ve been on for a long time. Tripping is easy but applying shit in the madness of everyday life is tough in comparison. I‘ve learnt that you cannot count on psychedelics to turn shit around, they can help but it’s like only a couple percentages of the way.
Anyway, what I‘m trying to say is that you’ll probably be back to normal in some time but it’s on you what you want the normal to be.
I’d give up on the MDMA tbh, tested or not, it must be mehdma, much talked about on this forum. There is nothing there, I have really tried, it is hopeless. Being low on serotonin, which you should also be after meth binges, brings a lot of issues with as well, many that aren’t really noticeable in the moment. It’s probably adding to some of the sadness right now.
