Hello, a new Bluelighter here. I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first post.
Some background, age 34, male, 16 years of experience with psychedelics, around 200-250 trips, more than half of them with LSD.
Recently, I had a couple of very intense experiences with 1P-LSD. First was with 1mg, I meant to take 500µg but screwed up a bit with dosing and ended up taking double. The 1P was acquired as powder and diluted in alcohol, then dosed volumetrically. The trip was very intense, as one would expect, and very LSD-like. It felt the same as my strongest experiences with Lucy. Huge visuals too. I felt it early, maybe 5-6min after dosing, and the last time I looked at the clock it was t+0:35 and I was already tripping hard. I noticed that there was no sedation, which I often get from big doses of L, but besides that, it was just as intense and visual. Maybe an hour into the trip, one of my two mates I was tripping with started getting paranoid suspecting we were planning on killing him. We managed to talk him down, but it took a while before he understood that no one was after him. And even after that, he managed to forget several times that he was indeed safe. That definitely had an impact on my trip. While it didn't turn into a bad trip for me, I was worried and it took a while to relax after the situation subsided. Later I learned that he had been threatened recently over a girl which was probably the reason he became so paranoid. Coming down, I thought I noticed some vasoconstriction in my hands, but we were playing hand percussion instruments so it was hard to tell. At that point everyone was feeling super. I'm all too familiar with vasoconstriction, since I was on tramadol before for my back problems and mixing it with L gave me a very strong effect. Once I was familiar with the distinct feeling, I knew that I had felt it before on big doses of L, but it just hadn't come to my attention because the effect was so light. There's more to that trip, but I'm trying to keep this short(ish) so let's move on.
My friend (the one who didn't get paranoid) said that he felt higher than he had ever been on L, and he has taken massive multi-milligram doses. For me it was around the same strength. He also claimed that it felt subtly different from L, whereas I could not make any distinction between the two. Two weeks passed, and we felt like tripping again. He had tripped once with 1P in the time between, starting with 300µg and boosting with another 300µg an hour later, resulting in an intense trip, but much less so than the first time. We decided on 500µg. Now the 1P was in sugar cubes, made with the same solution and definitely no dosage screw-ups this time. We dropped the cubes, just one each with 500µg in it for accurate measurement. I don't like eating sugar so I just bit it once to crumble it and swallowed. Now it took effect even faster. I could feel a definite treshold in 4 minutes, and two minutes later I started feeling bodily euphoria. That is not usual for me, I've always felt some degree of anxiety coming up on L though with big doses the phase shortens. This time there was absolutely none. Euphoria was the first real effect. Visuals started in under 10min. The trip came on very hard and fast, my last scribbling is +3 at T+00:14. Very soon after that I was floored. My friend has this lovely soft thick carpet which I was laying on, and he brought me a blanket so I was warm and cozy. At this point the bodily euphoria was huge almost MDMA-like, and I was also getting quite horny. Mentally I was in a very happy place, too. I don't know if I could stand up if I wanted to, probably so, but didn't care to try as most of what I was seeing was just fractals and navigating the room would have been difficult. This felt way more intense than any of my experiences with L, or the 1000µg 1P trip two weeks before. I don't really have words for it. I felt like falling asleep with my eyes open. As soon as I stopped thinking, I started to dissolve. Maybe I did lose consciousness at some point, it's hard to tell. But here was the sedation that was absent in the first experience. When I started coming back to my senses, three hours had passed since we ingested the stuff. I thought it was maybe an hour or so. Usually I experience time dilation when tripping, but this time it was the other way around. All the time my friend remained quite operational, and said he was not tripping nearly as hard as the first time. Seems his one week interval was not enough, but two weeks definitely was for me. I need to ask him how long I was silent laying there. From there the trip progressed with very nice visuals and good headspace, very much the usual LSD effect but I did notice a lot of morphing. My friend's face morphed into countless different characters. I seldom get morphing effects, usually it's just fractals. I could also control the intensity of the visuals with ease. Throughout the trip I felt exceptionally safe, there was no anxiety, not a slightest bit of fear, no dark side at all. At around 6h mark, the effect lessened considerably, just like with L. Soon after, I noticed vasoconstriction, pressure building up in my hands, then feet, and momentarily slightly in the face, too. It never progressed to a painful level, but was enough to be uncomfortable. It subsided in few hours. Why was it so pronounced this time, when I had taken double the dose two weeks before? It seemed to match the more intense psychedelic effect. Or maybe it's a vitamin thing, somewhere I read that niacin might help, and indeed with the on the day of the 1mg I had taken my usual vitamin dose which includes niacin, and with 500µg I hadn't for days. I believe it's actually a metabolite causing the vasoconstriction, as I've ever only felt it after the peak. Coming down, we smoked weed and I drank a few beers. Closing in on 12h mark, I was very tired but still could not get to sleep, so I took 500-700µg of alprazolam and fell asleep soon after. No chance of eating anything during the trip.
Anyhow, it seems to me that 1P is less predictable dose-response wise than regular L. Halving the dose never doubled the effects before. Last batch of L I had lasted me 2½ years with no such surprises. Maybe next time I'll take 250 and see what happens. :D Seems it might be potentially stronger, too. Though the strength of street acid is usually overrated, I'm still pretty damn sure I've taken over 500µg of L before, or else the best acid I've ever gotten my hands on was less than 50µg/hit. For now, I'm not fully buying the prodrug theory. Sure, it probably is a prodrug, but it seems there is something else going on, too. People here talk about a slower comeup, something I didn't notice but maybe with smaller doses? For the record, I had eaten very little during the day of the more intense trip, and had a practically empty stomach.
