I decided to try LSD for my 50th birthday. But I wanted to test things out a little first before the big day arrived. So I experimented with half a tab a few times and went up to one tab which gave me some very faint CEVs. But I didn't understand about psychedelic tolerance so I wasted a few tabs before I figured I needed to wait a week or two to try again. So I waited and was rewarded with a beautiful warm winter's day where I could go outside in a long sleeved shirt and bask in the sun. T=0.0 - Took one tab and went outside to spraypaint some model rockets I had built to launch with my son next time he visits. That only took a few minutes so went back in and smoked a couple bowls of cannabis with my wife.
T=1.0 - I wasn't feeling much so I took another tab and went to sit in my chair with headphones on to listen to Sgt. Pepper by the Beatles. The music sounded incredible; like I had never heard music before. I am an amateur guitarist and music is important to me but now I could hear parts I didn't know were there. By about the 3rd song I was seeing some amazing CEVs like I had never seen before on LSA (which was the only previous psychedelic I had tried). It felt like I shattered into fragments and somebody scooped me up in a bucket. Each little piece of me heard a different piece of the music. I also could see/feel/experience my emotions from a non-judgmental viewpoint. I am a recovering alcoholic and I haven't had a drink for many years, but there was always a shadow lurking in my mind and I was afraid of it. But now I was able to just let go of the shadow and it evaporated. It was as if the entire universe was telling me it loved me and I don't need alcohol ever again. This was a huge relief and I started thinking that EVERYONE should take LSD. It was the first time in my life that I felt like there is nothing wrong with me. All the stuff I had been discussing with my therapist for the past years just made sense from an emotional point. Usually it just makes sense intellectually. I felt like I was healing on a very deep level.
I noticed that I was really loving the vocal harmonies of the Beatles so I put on the Smile Sessions by Brian Wilson for some Beach Boys harmonies. I couldn't stop smiling at the beauty of music. I wanted to dance or move around so I got my headphones and my 11 month old puppy and took him outside to play fetch. We played fetch until the puppy was tired. Usually I get tired first but I could have played for hours. While we were playing I could see that we are not actually separate but two parts of something much bigger and we were actually playing fetch with the entire universe. Since the puppy was tired I sat in a chair with my face to the sun and shut my eyes. Albert Hoffman said that entheogens should be taken in nature and I can see why. I felt connected to everything and could almost convince myself I was sitting on a beach except my fingers were cold since it was January.
T=3.0 - As the sun started to fade I went inside and smoked another bowl of cannabis. When I blew smoke across a sunbeam it looked so beautiful I nearly cried. I looked down at my very worn out black jeans that I use when I am painting and renovating the house. Now they were turquoise and purple with Aztec or Mayan looking patterns. Wow! First ever OEVs!!! I started noticing them on other things: walls, celings, floors. It depended on the texture of a surface and the light falling on the surface. Some walls were normal while others had pastel Mayan patterns. My black cat's fur seemed to be made of all colors! My head felt like the TARDIS from Doctor WHO: it was bigger on the inside because I was the whole universe.
T=4.5 During the afterglow I listened to more music but I didn't keep notes on what it was. Everything sounded amazing. After a while my wife wanted to watch some British Murder Mysteries on Netflix. I had a little trouble following the plot but I didn't care because I was enjoying the actors' faces changing colors. Usually different shades of red, blue, and purple. Sometimes gold like C3P0. I just hung out with my wife watching tv and smoking a little cannabis until we went to bed and had the best sex I can remember.
That all happened a few weeks ago and I still feel wonderful. Alcohol has never seemed less desirable to me and I am tryly grateful for that. My birthday is in a couple of weeks and I will definitely be tripping again with a higher dose. And I hope to play fetch with the entire universe again. And thank you bluelighters for all your posts. I lurked a lot and read thousands of posts before I tried this. Much Love, SgtPepper
