I did some AL-LAD earlier this week, together with my buddy Einfachfunk, perhaps 200ug (I was holding two blotters for a few minutes asking which one would you like?
) got in a nice psychedelic headspace, slight body high, less wavey and much more constant than 2C-B or LSD, but no visuals were noted. Music was great, will have to compare with LSZ & LSD soon?l
He started jamming a bit on his Korg ms2000 with vocoder and a little green delay stomp box, (with which I still need to come to terms with, as it sounded so awesome but is of a brand I once vowed to never put in my signal chain.) The music flowed without effort, it was simply pure audio porn... I didn't notice much of the AL-LAD beside a bit of headspace untill then the most intense experience was this great synergy between these two components and this velvet deep funking music him playing the keys and great but alien vocoder voice.. Truly out of this world... (I'm getting to 4-HO-MET) but first time to have a smoke and a post musical orgasm smoke on the couch.. Then he presented a plate of grilled chicken wings.. Now I wasn't particularly hungry nor were they appealing, were it for the fact that he has a cat that is pretty shy, so I decided to give it a display of pure carnal decadence, leisurly tearing the meat, when I was finished she started purring on my lap I slowly flicked a last piece of warm chicken meat from the bone right in her mouth.. I had shown her there was no need for shyness nor lashing out.. Because I was the apex predator and commander of meat.... We had bonded at that moment I thought it was a small price to pay to earn it's trust and respect, I love cats and always let them come to me first.
A few minutes later Einfachfunk was talking, joking, playing tunes and suddenly looked at me and knew as he put ut he was eating pancakes and I was riding the rollercoaster (I must have looked a bit like the hitchhiker from from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.) cold sweat started pouring and then I made a run for the toilet and what happened was somewhere between puking and demonic exorcism... It felt like puking pieces of hard rubber and bits of evil being purged from my body (perhaps it was all the crap from the weekend before)... His toilet has a pencil drawing of something resembling the sun / sunshine and at that moment it looked like some sick joke...and I felt like a POW or a sort of neophyte trapped in this little sarcastic toilet/dungeon unable to do anything but try and expell the remaining pieces of car tire from my body untill I had finally shown I knew how to be truely "Dirty Brown and Miserable"..
After some lightheaded moments, where Dr.Einfach even checked my pulse etc. (which made me feel in good hands as he has plenty of experience handling emergency admissions of various cases being it substance abuse, psychosis, mania etc. and would have been one of the best to have around in case of trouble) we concluded it was just some sort of purge and there was no real reason for concern. After a little while I felt actually good, cleansed even... (This was the most extreme thing I noticed from laddy and I'm still on the fence with this one perhaps I will try it again and leave out the King of the Jungle chicken eating part..)
After a little breather I decided this night wasn't finished and definately not like this and took out some trusted 4-HO-MET and dosed 19mg and 11mg for him and after a redose of 9mg and another 15mg for him I was having the best trip I've ever had unlike the earlier times where I noticed only some tracers and pulsating colors. The room was sometimes a see of fractal like glittering visuals. His cat sometimes was connected to a purlple long molecule like dynamic lattice of triangular shapes that adjusted its size when it moved. I was lauging in amazement and just saying almost shouting wow... Wow! At times the whole room seemed to morph into almost someting completely different at one time he even looked like a completely different person.
When I went to the toilet I was amazed how friendly and nice it was, then I remembered this was the exact same place I had felt like an incarcerated POW only a few hours before and laughed.
The contrast beteen the two perhaps the shedding of frustration or funky chicken maybe both of AL-LAD and the super friendly and deeply rewarding visuals and relaxation of 4-HO-MET made for one of the best nights I've had in a long time, as far as 4-HO-MET goes this was the best!
Strangely the 4-HO-MET didn't do much for my friend this time but there will be plenty more occasions..
For now we are looking for the perfect musical door opener, AL-LAD was ok, but will probably also explore the 2C's. (2C-B, 2C-C, 2C-E) Perhaps experience 2C-D's tofu properties...
IME 4-HO-MET is more fun and relaxation than anything productive, but after this I must say it is my favorite psychedelic.
Makes me think that perhaps I would be able to apreciate more with a bit of experience... Makes me want to get some acid.
At perhaps 200, before eating I felt I could easily feel comfortable on AL-LAD in a club setting or even in public. Because I was in a good mood and definately not tripping hard.
