Beautiful Trip

Not my first time dropping but this experience was the most beautiful, physically, journey yet. I started the night out hydrating myself and having a good meal (tripping zaps my appetite). It also causes some gi discomfort. So some medicine to combat that is taken an hour before I drop.

It takes about 40 minutes for the warn blanket feeling to wash over me, then about an hour in I start the fast climb to my plateau! 1:20 in and the beautiful trails begin with a strong audio reverb. I often get something I call time reverberations sounds repeat with a ratcheting effect. It's the best way to describe it.

2:00 hours in I'm peaking! I love to go out for walks with my dog, this night we go out before the sun sets. 5 minutes in my dog spots some birds playing in a puddle of water, cleaning themselves. As the bird fly to and from the water it's like stop motion film I can see what looks like a trail of birds following each other like a Chinese yoyo. This last a good half hour or so (hard to keep time the trip is quite intense) I always have my camera on me. I always get some photos that the day after bring my back to that moment. Every step I take feels like my feet are sinking into the blacktop.

I returned from my walk realizing I'm supposed to do a photo shoot of a local band. How did I forget, well I put my gear together, called a cab and headed into town. I know the band pretty good so when I walk in and drop my gear one of them comes up to me to go over what they want to do (this is not a paid job). He says 'I see you got started early'. Now I have dropped 30-40 times and never has my wife of friends had a clue! But I was tripping way hard. I set up hit the bar to see if a beer could calm the trip down a bit. It took 3 beers but it took the edge off. The band started (grateful dead cover band). Now I have gone out to live music tripping but never like this! I could almost touch the music, it was almost spiritual. I got lots of great photos that night.

One of my favorite things to do when I'm tripping in public is people watching

One of my favorite things to do when I'm tripping in public is people watching

, and I was not disappointed this night! The place was packed full of people from all walks, I found myself focusing on one person and could understand how they were feeling. A bunch of hipsters with two very attractive ladies were acting like total a holes. It's like they didn't care about them. I could see the disgust on their faces! They just looked so unhappy.

6 hours in and I'm full blown speeding!  I know it's going to be a long night. I love the energy it gives me feels like my body is pulsing. I sit outside the bar watch cars driving by, the long trails of headlights keep me busy, I decided to walk home and forgo the cab so I can enjoy the summer air. It felt like hours to make it home but I know it only takes 40 minutes to make the trip home.

It's 8 hours later and I'm still tripping nicely. I put on my headphones and sit on the patio with a drink, taking pictures of the moon and any backyard visitors (bugs). I have to get some sleep it's getting late. For me anyway Valium is the best way to drop out and get some sleep I take 6mg and in half an hour I'm slowly drifting off to some awesome dreams I know are waiting!

The day after is such a good feeling, the afterglow lasts well into the day. I look through the photos and for a moment feel like I'm back in time to the night before.

 I had tried to take LSD many times but none had worked and I was beginning to get very frustrated.  Most were fake blotter tabs and one was a dilute vile which messed me up but still nothing that would constitute an LSD trip (from what I have heard and read).  I finally got a hold of what I think was the real thing at a Rusted Root concert in Albany.  I had decided on the way up to the show that I was going to try and find it there and began getting very excited for the night.  I was with 3 other friends W, T, and B.  W was our driver and decided to go sober for the night.

As soon as I walked through the door I was approached by a rather shadey looking character.  He asked if I was interested in some doses and told me to follow him in the bathroom.  I was a little skeptical but proceeded anyway.  He said it was $10 a hit but told me he could give me 2 for $15.  I was planning on just one but felt obliged to buy both because of the offer.  I took the first hit and went out to the floor to meet up with my friends.  The show began about a half hour later and I decided to take the second hit because nothing was coming on.  Another half hour went by and it seemed that I felt something but I wasn't sure if it was the beginning or just anxiety.

I suggested smoking the joint we brought and all agreed.  It was a rather large joint and I figured if nothing else I was going to get really stoned.  After the first couple rips I could really feel the effects of the LSD.  The lights started to swirl and grow very defined rays off of them.  The music kept me swaying just as everyone seemed to be.  The crowd seemed to be moving together.  I began having closed eye visuals that seemed to portray what I thought the music was trying to convey.  During what seemed to be the peak of my experience they were starting a song that I was unfamiliar with.  They got a little ways into it and a loud boom shook me.  I was very startled and the mood of the crowd seemed to go sour.  The music was off and the band didn't look very happy.  After a lot racket the band started up the same song from the beginning.  This settled me down along with the rest of the crowd.  They were getting to about the point where the catastrophie had happened before and another very similar noise shook my body once again.  I was now very confused and was wondering if I was reliving past experiences, visualizing things that had already happened.  The silence of the music lasted a lot longer this time but the crowd made up for the loss of noise.  The music finally started back up again and all was well.  They played for a really long time, I think to make up for the disturbance.

We went back to W's appartment where we laughed and talked for a long time, all the while I was still getting a lot of visuals.  By the end of the night my body was exhausted but my mind was wide awake going through all that had happened.

I'd sworn to myself I'd never try Psychedelics, and, most probably, I won't do them again seeing as I've tripped around 10 times, but I've decided to share, for those looking to try Acid, my Acid experience which was almost indescribably beautiful.  Sometime this past February (2005) I was able to find a sheet of Acid with some friends, and after selling most of it off, I reserved about 5 hits to myself.  The night I had it, I decided, though only having done Acid once before (and only 1 hit) to take a large dose--3 hits.  It was supposedly quite powerful, and, as you'll read in a moment, I, at the very least, thought it was.

At around 12 AM I took my three hits, and thought I was getting ripped off for the first hour.  And then, very suddenly, I began to come up very, very quickly.  I'd been pretty experienced at that point, and was only mildly afraid.  I was with two girls, whom I liked, and a psychotic kid who I didn't like, but I'll get to that later.

The first 4 or so hours of the trip were marvelous.  It snowed 2 feet overnight, and I watched it--on three hits of acid.  The snowflakes cast the most intriguing shadows under the low-intensity lamp outside of my dorm, and they seemed to be undulating in large, beautiful shapes, spinning through and amongst each other like some kind of non-aggressive bee tribe, swirling and shooting back and forth.  I was so incredibly overwhelmed I sat down in the snow, wearing, thankfully, heavy clothing, and began to trip the fuck out.  At that point, I started getting the Fear very briefly, but luckily, I got a kiss on the cheek and magically, as if a lukewarm substance were injected into me, I started to have the most amazing visuals.  Returning to my room (because it was balls in your stomach cold) I ran into an RD who was, thankfully, Drunk out of his mind.  I reached my room and hallucinated for about 3 hours with the two girls.

My trip only turned *mildly* bad when I was left alone with this guy.  We'll call him Fuckbag.  Fuckbag was on about a hit and a half, which I sold to him for an exorbant 15 bucks a hit (when I'd gotten it at 6.50) and he was bugging out--bad.  He was the kind of guy who filled empty space with needless conversation, and I thought he was speaking some weird, alien dialect of English that coincided only in its words rather than in sentence structure or grammar.  Finally, after listening to his raging trippy bullshit for a few hours, I came down, and had a very large, very tasty breakfast.  I know this story wasn't THAT amazing.  Peace

There had been a big drought back in 2000. There was no acid to be found anywhere. My friend and I had started experimenting with it when we had finished high school. We had done it a few times, and liked it alot.

T+06:00pm

So my friend had finally found some and boy oh boy were we excited. He came with another dude to pick me up from my house. As I got in the car he produced the tin foil the papers were in and gave me what he thought was two papers but I think he actually (by mistake) gave me four.

My friend was a dealer at the time and we had to go and pick up 4 ounces of weed from this guy. So we were driving listening to music everything was cool bananas. I remember stopping at the guys house, waiting and listening to crazy sexy cool by TLC. Now I know its not the trippiest shit but the intro song that goes for about minute sounded so gooooooooooood, so intense. I moved in a convultionary state when the beat kicked in.....

T+07:30pm

Anyway we had another stop off before we got back to my friends house. Where I dont know, by that stage I was nicely toasted and throughly enjoying myself. While waiting there I remember seeing a guy coming up the foot path my friend (who was also tripping, but on two papers) and I started giggling like mischievous kids. We locked the doors as if the guy was some sort of threat to us, but laughing the whole time.

The guy who was driving got back to the car and we left. Why our next stop was Mcdonalds is beyond me but I was fucked and cant remember. Now is when my brain meltdown commenced.

I went into Mcdee's, and on my way to the entrance I walked through the car park and noticed a man who was standing in the car park. When I looked at his face it appeared rubber-like his chin and forehead were exagarrated he looked a bit cartoony. I entered Mc'dees and waited in line. I dont really remember what I was thinking but I knew it was way to bright and way to intense to be in there on this drug, so I went back to the car.

My friends started laughing at me when I got back, I told them  it was way to fucked up in there. The guy driving went into get me food. While in there buying me food my brain lost all rational functioning thought. I started saying things like ' What are we here for ' ' What can I do '. Basically I could not think of my purpose. It felt very dumb now that I look back. I'd say' thats what I can do put on music ' But as soon as I did that I had to find another purpose. I had become uncomfortably restless. The guy came back and we started eating hamburgers. It did not taste good. Actually very yuckky. We left for my friends house. I dont remember the drive there.

T+10:00pm

At my friends house I had a sudden urge to go home and tell my mother I was trippin real hard on acid. I wanted to be home because it was the only safe place I knew. So I asked my friend to take me home. He replied that he would as soon as he finished bagging up the ounces. I really had to go home the urge was ridiculous. I said to him that I would call a cab so it would take me. He told me to wait five and he would take me straight home. I didnt agree with that I started grabbing the phone and trying to dial a cab. My friend grabbed the phone off me and hung it up. This happened about four times before I could not take it anymore. I stood up and started climbing out his window. When I was half way out my friend grabbed me and said ' man, wait two seconds and ill take you! ' I replied half-sticking out of his window ' You know when you have to go, well I gotta go '

And with that I jumped out the window and Carl Lewis sprinted down the street.

While I was walking trying to find a phone to call a cab. My thoughts went into overdrive. All thoughts were of great meaning all of them having an idea. About 40,000 sub thoughts would branch off one giving me an insight into something which lead to another thing and so on and so on.... The brain is a powerful tool which I think we have not yet mastered, Lsd showed me that night.

While walking everything had a fluroecent hue to it. But taxis stood out like dogs balls. By this I mean they were lit up in some ' thats the way to get home ' sort of way. I stopped and sat on a curb in a street just off the main road. My brain was racing all I wanted was this drug to stop and me to be at my nice safe home, then some guy pulls up and asks me whats wrong (Very weird now I look back). I say I just need to get home, he asks again whats wrong. At this point I just am not thinking properly at all and grab the back door handle and try to get in the car but as I grab the door handle he speeds off. Gloom doom and despair. I felt trapped. As if the whole world was trying to stop me getting home. I kept walking up the main road. I went to a house and knocked on the front door and asked if I could use the phone. An old granny who I probably scared the absolute shit out of said to go away. I kept walking to a service station and finally called a cab.

When I got in the cab I told the driver I was on acid and was not feeling to well. He had some sort of elevator music playing which just added to the effects of helplessness. As we drove under a sign for the freeway all the street letters on the sign were in arabic but yet still in english.

T+1:00pm

When I got home my thoughts started getting the better of me. I suddenly realised I couldnt talk to my mum, I was fucked upppppp. I went to bed. I was lying there looking at my clock thinking that this is how I'm going to be for the rest of my life, and mental defect. In the morning my mum would come and speak to me and would realise she had a mental patient for a son. This pattern of thinking lasted a while and then bang! It all stopped, I mean I was still fucked but the intenseness was gone. I woke the next day sweet as.

That night was a strain on the brain. But I'm so glad I experienced it. I will never forget that night. Ever.

A friend of mine had invited me along for a trip up to the desert to a rave out in the middle of nowhere. I had decided this would be my night to do whatever I wanted. My friend had told me if I wanted to take anything, to run it by her just to make sure no one was giving me anything shady.

About an hour into the evening, we'd met someone who had everything under the sun in his bag. She got into his stash of ketamine while I took a molly. About an hour and a half later, I took another from one of her friends who had driven us.

It was probably the most intense calm I had ever felt. I was able to sit and watch everyone dance and move and feel the beat radiate through my body. I remember looking to the sky and thinking that this is what peace with the universe feels like.

I remember looking to the sky and thinking that this is what peace with the universe feels like.

I also became slightly disassociated from my own body. I had no real interest in sex other than the idea of women. I'm a bisexual woman who leans towards men, so this was an odd one. I was chasing after a bunny girl most of the night who later told me after she was done tripping that she had a boyfriend. I didn't need food or feel any kind of hunger, though I kept up on my water intake.

The come down was gradual, and I had torn apart one side of my mouth throughout the night. Most of the drive home, I felt this emptiness in me and a headache that left me very quiet.

We'd gotten some LSD from some of the people up at the rave as well, and I thought to myself, fuck it. I wanted this weekend. Not quite sure how much I took, I remember it being a small blue tablet, button sized.

For the most part, I felt unaffected around people. I felt more introspective and focused. The girls with us seemed to be tripping out much harder than I was, and we built a tent in their living room.

When people began to fall asleep after two days of being awake, then the real effects kicked in somewhere around 3 hours after ingestion. My mind started to wander and I laid back against a couch ottoman. Looking up into the ceiling suddenly became The Rite Of Spring from Fantasia and I began to see the creation of the universe. It morphed and became the creation of the Minecraft universe. Soon, Creepers began to march towards me, mutated and twisted through a swampland.

I sat up and worked to calm myself, knowing that I was hallucinating. The final moment when I realized that I needed noise and stimulation was when I glanced down to the couch next to me and blood began to leak out the bottom and pool on the carpet. The droplets then jumped from the carpet and began to head towards me.

I've not tried either since. I think I could try E once more, but I think LSD will be off my list of things to do.

I will start off with a little info about myself and my past experience with recreational drugs. I am 18 years old, about 6'2', 120lbs and am relatively healthy.

I first began using marijuana regularly about 8 months ago and have progressed through the use of alcohol, dxm, ecstasy, nitrous, salvia, painkillers, sleep aids, cocaine, and now finally LSD. LSD had been on my 'to-do' list before I ever even tried marijuana or any other illegal substance. When I finally found out I could get some, I didn't care what the price. I left for my regular dealer's (I'll call him T) house around 5 PM on a Friday night with two friends.

I purchased 3 hits, and my two friends purchased 2 and 1 respectively. We each started dissolving them right away and T told us we could stay there until we came down because he had some cool stuff to show us while we tripped. About a half hour after the gels dissolved I noticed that I was feeling very high (elevated mood and a huge grin). T told me to start looking at different patterns to see if anything was moving yet. Nothing noticeable at the time, so T packed a bowl and told us that this would help it kick in. We passed a bong twice around the circle and soon I was feeling very messed up. I couldn't concentrate on anything and everything around me was just swirling and making me laugh. I would decide to do something (change a CD, make a phone call) and forget about it within seconds. I noticed that my friends were having equally intense trips and wondered if I really needed 3 hits, but it didn't bother me too much.

After a long time of just rolling around on the couches and listening to very intensely trippy music, I noticed that I had to pee. I made my way to the bathroom and all the towels hanging on racks looked like they were waving at me. I steadied myself to piss and the toilet looked like it was spinning. I finally got the job done and headed for the door, only to be startled by my appearance in the mirror. I barely recognized myself. My face looked as though it was oozing downward and I had gained at least 50 pounds. I quickly left the bathroom and headed back toward the living room where my friends were.

(T + 4:00) T called my name from his room and I went in. He showed me the visuals that were running on his media player and they slowly branched out to where I could see them on the walls in his room. He prepped a sheet of foil with cocaine and told me to take a hit. He held the foil and lighter and I held the mouthpiece and took a ridiculously deep hit (by my standards) and felt an instant renewal of my original high. Since my friends and I had been basically taking up space in his living room for a good four hours now, I suggested to them that we take a walk back to J's (the guy who took 2 hits) place. I don't remember much after this in the way that I remember other things.

Everything I know about what happened afterward, I know as fact instead of a memory. I am told that I sprinted all the way to J's house, J and his girlfriend chasing me all the way to the front door. We went upstairs and I plopped down on J's mattress. The next thing I know, I could not stop checking the clock. I would pick up his alarm clock, exclaim 'It's not even ____!' and run to the door of his room, which was locked and at the time, quite difficult to figure out. I would lie back down and repeat the process for about a half hour until J and his girlfriend were coming down a little bit and thought they ought to try and restrain me so I wouldn't wake anyone up or injure myself. I felt like I was dying. My body felt like it was crushed and soaked with blood, as though I had been in a bad accident, and I could even taste blood in my mouth. I believed I was at a hospital, receiving treatment for this accident I was in. I was so scared by the thought of my death that even called 911 and my home and everyone on my contacts list trying to get help. J took the phone from me so I wouldn't say anything I'd regret and I felt so helpless. It wasn't long before I thought my heart was stopping and I could hear my parents crying at the hospital because I was going to die.

All of a sudden, I did die (in the trip of course) and I thought I was in 'limbo' with J. I was trying to have him communicate to my parents that I was very sorry and all sorts of things I would want them to know that I didn't have the chance to tell them. For the rest of the night, I believed 'god' was taking on the image of J so I would be comfortable in heaven, or wherever I was. I sat in J's room feeling depressed that there was so much I hadn't done and then I realized I could do anything I wanted to. I started to get naked and run for the front door, ready to explore heaven. He caught up with me and suggested that we go to his dad's house for the night. It was then that I wondered why god would have a dad, and I thought the maybe J was satan. I refused to go with him, basically trying to show satan how tough I was and began throwing things at him. Apparently, I was still tripping (to be able to think things like this) but it wasn't obvious to me. I was scheduled to work the next day at 12:00 and I skipped it because I still thought I was dead. It wasn't until a little after 2:00 when I got a phone call that I realized I wasn't dead and I hurried home to get ready for work.

I would still do LSD again, but probably a smaller dosage and I would need a tripsitter who wasn't tripping himself to help me through something like my own death. I will not again do the combo of LSD and Cocaine, although I cannot say for sure that that is what set me off. I hope this report has been helpful, or at least entertaining for anyone who has read it.

--------My friends side of the Trip--------

I'm one of those guys who just loves to trip. Winter is on its way, so my friend and I decided it was time to truly enjoy the weather and trip balls. It had been a normal Saturday so far, hung out with my friends and smoked bud. Me and my friend (lets call him G) finally met up around 6 o'clock. What happened next was nothing unlike anything I have ever experienced.

First tab dropped, heading over to my friend J's house to smoke and snort the 2cb. We smoked a few bowls of some decent piff and had the powder laid and out ready to sniff down. Then a text from J's mom came through saying she would be home any minute. G and I put the other half tabs under our tongue and snorted the powder very quickly. The burn was unbearable, it felt as if fire was being shot into my nose! I've snorted mainly different drugs before but nothing really compared to that. We wanted to see our good friend before he left to travel west, so we headed up to the woods. After walking around in circles we decided going into the woods tripping this hard was not a good idea, so we went down to a local park and waited. My nose had finally stopped burning. G really had to take a shit, so he ran into the woods and left me to sit in this field alone. This is when the drugs really started to kick in. I felt as if everything was floating, everything looked as if it was a hologram. There was this over whelming vibration in my body. At this point I got a little scared. I had tripped pretty hard in the past, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for this. I was still alone and getting scared, I started to call some sober friends just to keep me calm. Nobody would answer their phone so I thought music would work. I put on some chill Matsiyahu and started to relax. G finally came out of the woods and he was with two of our friends. We smoked a couple bowls and wished him well in his travels.

By now I am tripping insanely hard, I needed to find a place to charge my phone and make plans for the night. We walked down the street to the local middle school. There was a place I could charge my phone and we could just chill. I looked down at the cement and pointed out how many rocks were on the ground. As I said this it seemed as if it was raining, there was thousands and thousand of black spots of the ground now, it look like rain drops. I stared at the ground for a few minutes. The drops rose up and started forming fences, and waves and different shapes. I stood there just tripping out while G walked in circles yelling about how hard he was tripping.

We then got bored with the School and started to walk around town. Everything on my body was vibrating, even sound was vibrating ( that is the only way I can describe what I was hearing) Talking on the phone was such a difficult task. When I would get on my skateboard the sidewalk would explode with color and vibrations everywhere. We finally made plans to meet up with two other friends and smoke some white widow and a blunt of K2 (friend was on piss test). We sat at a picnic table and smoked some bud and K2, I put my head on the table and felt as if I was flying threw a vortex. I completely lost touch with reality. I had no clue what was happening. My friend K called me and asked if I wanted to chill, I let him know I was tripping balls and he was cool with it. The only problem was I had to walk across town alone.

I began to walk under a bridge, the walls started to close in on me so I ran. I needed to get somewhere safe, with people. I finally stopped where the our old skate park was and just starred at the empty lot for a while. I decided I should go bomb so hills and take the long way to meet up with my friends. I was happy again and enjoying being alone, it was very relaxing. I kept forgetting where I was going and heavy visuals kept distracting me. I finally arrived at my friends house, I get there and sit down. About twenty minutes later some people started coming over for a little get together. I didnt want everyone to know I was tripping nutsack so I tried to chill out. I could stay calm for a few mins but then every little thing would just trip me the fuck out and send me into a deep trip. Little things would trip me out really hard like a poster, my friend rapping, phone vibrating etc. I got fronted an eight of some homegrown headies and figured I would be good for the night.

Its now about midnight, Me and K are about to walk to our friend C's house to smoke mad buds and sleep. We rolled a cannon joint for the walk and just talked. The walk took about half an hour and I was still tripping really hard. There was nothing to do at C's house except smoke weed and listen to music. I figured it was a good chance to really trip out. We smoked 4 or 5 nice joints and a few bowls. I sat down in my nice chair but a blanket on, and just absolutely tripped my fuckin brains out. I felt as if my spirit was coming out of my body, the vibrations were even more intense. I just stared at the TV and enjoyed my trip.

I slept about two hours that night and still felt pretty good well into the next day. I wish I could put more detail into my feeling and visuals but its all way to much to explain.

--------MY Side of the Trip.--------

Well as my friend said, I am also a person that loves to trip. Me and my friend (A) decided we would meet up around 5:30 which was when we bombed the acid. For some reason it had a very bitter taste, I'm really not sure as to why but it was really good acid. We had 2 hits to start with so I gave my friend A a hit, and me, myself a hit. We both put it under our tongues and walked to the place where we were gonna meet up with this dude to buy another 2 hits because one of the hits we took was for one of our close friends Z who happened to be leaving since he recently turned 18 and was eager to travel west.

I got the acid from the dude and then we decided to go to J's house. We got there and smoked a bowl, and I decided it was time to break out the 2nd dose and split it, I split it and gave the other half to A and we continued to smoke another bowl. We were high as shit, and I decided to whip out the 2c-b and divided it into 2 equal piles. As soon as I did that J's mom texted him saying she would be home any minute. We rushed and I quickly poured out my bubbler water into the sink and told A we gotta sniff this, so we proceeded to sniff the 2c-b (such a bad idea). It was almost a similar burn to snorting MDMA, or 2c-I. It felt like my nose was being ripped from the inside-out, it felt so fucking terrible for a good 20-30 minutes, until we got water and sniffed a little to make it go down quicker. But before that we ran outside of J's house hoping his mom wasn't gonna show up as soon as we were leaving. We went back around the block and did complete circles. We wanted to see our good friend before he left to travel west, so we headed up to the woods where there was a camp. After walking around in circles, not knowing where to go we decided to call Z and he ran down to us as soon as I got done taking a shit, taking this shit was so fucking freaky, I almost couldn't find leaves to wipe my ass with because this weird fog overtook my vision, and my body started to vibrate, even my hearing vibrated. We met back up and smoked a few bowls, as I gave Z his birthday present (the L). At this point the acid was kicking in for me, I could feel the waves of everything, and the colors of everything, and looked around the grass we were sitting in as it waved in solitude. I was freaking out at first, feeling like I wasnt prepared, I have never felt like this doing any other drug and let me tell you, I've done quite a bit of drugs. I felt like I was in the clouds, or in some altered reality as hallucinations started to take up my vision completely. We decided going into the woods tripping this hard was not a good idea considering it was pitch black out already and we had no idea where we were going, so we went down to a local park and waited. My nose had finally stopped burning and so did A's.

I started feeling the vibrations more as we waited, and told A we should leave, so we decided to go to the local middle school to charge A's phone, as we got there I started to feel the acid even more. Abstract started to fill my vision, the waves were filled with abstract, the side walk had a bunch of black rocks on it, and those rocks were flying around, not in sync with reality at all I told A I was tripping absolute nutsack. I started walking around feeling as if I couldn't feel anything between my knees and feet, as if there was nothing connecting them. We decided we needed to go smoke some more. So we started walking towards a graveyard and I told A to look at the trees as the wind blew, and it looked like no other thing I've seen in my entire life. The tree's were waving but they were popping out at me, as the wind blew harder, it looked like things were growing on the trees. We got closer to the hole in this fence and as soon as I got there I asked A if he was seeing what I was seeing 'Did it feel like your eyes opened to a new dimension? Are you seeing everything in 3rd and is everything really fucking colorful and cartoonic?' and as soon as I said that I couldn't see into the darkness where the hole was supposed to be, so I quickly turned around freaking out, and A followed me.

We went to this park off of main street, and met up with M and D and smoked a blunt of K2 and smoked white widdow. M was on pee tests so he was smoking the blunt mainly but obviously we all took a couple hits. At this point I knew I had to go home soon, it was 9 and my mom told me I had to be home at 9:30-10 because A couldn't sleep over, my room was 'too fucking messy, and it's not fair to my friends if they have to sleep in that mess of mine' (exactly what my mom said.) at around ~9:40 A went to his friends house, leaving me with M and D. It sucked leaving my tripping buddy, the plans didn't work out at all as what we planned for. M and D walked me partially home, and as I walked home, I stared off into the stars, and into the sidewalk, watching all this extremely indescribable abstract flow past my vision. My legs still felt as if they were clouds, and I wasn't walking but floating. The acid gave me a huge euphoric rush at this point, and my vision continued to blur, as if fog was in front of me until I was about a block away from my house. I feel like it was my consciousness telling me to sober up a little bit as soon as I walked into my house, as my dad is in the living room which is where the front door is. I told him it was fucking freezing outside, and then went upstairs in awkwardness as he didn't respond.

I waited on my bed, at this point it was 10:15 I started tripping even harder and harder, my body started twitching more and more, and I felt like my vision would never stop waving, and the longer I kept my eyes open, the more abstract showed up, and if I looked into my skin, I could see the art flowing through my body as if it was written all over my skin. I looked into my wrist and saw a totally different world, where there was only trip, no reality, I can't even begin to explain it, everything was so unexplainable, it only lasted a minute and then I looked up thinking WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED. I put on some dubstep and chilled out for a little talking to people on facebook, and just looking at the art all over my walls as it shimmered in epicness, with colorful waves flowing all over my walls, and my vision, body and hearing kept vibrating it was very uncomfortable at first, but eventually it got soothing.

I decided to turn off the music, and watch tv, and there were some funny ass movies on comedy central. I totally forget the names, but regardless they were funny as fuck, and made my night so much better, considering I would laugh at so much that was said. I stayed up watching tv until 5:30 or so, and everytime the commercials came on I turned away and stared off into my walls hoping to continue my trip without technology distracting me. At 5:00 I decided to try to go to bed, with the lights and tv off, which made me freak out a little, I couldn't stop having tremors but they felt oddly good. As it got to 5:20 I got up and turned on the lights, packed a bowl, smoked it, and passed out after around 30 minutes of trying to make myself stop thinking. I slept for around 2.5 hours and still felt good in the morning, I smoked another bowl as soon as I got up and felt automatically refreshed, as if I was a new person. Seeing and feeling things I thought I would of never seen or felt in my entire life. Regardless of being scared when the trip came on, it was a really fucking awesome experience, if you attempt doing acid and 2c-b at the same time, definitely be prepared for reality to vanish. This was my side of the trip. Thanks for reading! Happy tripping!

I have been an experienced drug user for about 6 years now, doing almost every drug imaginable in my past, but finally cutting it down primarily to pot and alcohol. Getting most of my drug use out of my system before even getting to college, I was more than satisfied with sticking to herb and brew. I did enjoy eating mushrooms or acid every time I got the chance due to them being relatively rare drugs around my area and have tripped shrooms about 35 times and had about 8-9 previous lsd experiences eating as much as 3 hits at a time.

Me and my friends picked up a ten strip from a total sketch job, and with the thick tabs and nice logos we figured it would be good stuff, not realizing how right we were about that. On Friday night I had drank pretty heavily despite knowing I was going to trip the next day, and got only 7 hours of sleep. Waking up tasting booze in my mouth, I knew I did not have time to nurse a hangover and had to eat the “LaLa” as soon as possible because I tend to have 20 hour acid experiences.

Me and my buddy both ate two hits and took the train downtown. After about 25 min. I began to feel funny and being sensitive to chemicals sensed the acid taking my to LaLa land quite quickly. We arrived to downtown Chicago, and the day was beautiful, not a single cloud in the sky and the warm sun beating down on us. We were trippin pretty good for about 3 hours, walking around and ddecided to go see a movie, Kung Fu Panda. It was one of the best times ever. Anyways when we got out of the theater the acid seemed to have calmed down and I felt like the trip was coming to an end even though it had been only 5-6 hours into it.

We decided to go over to my friend’s apartment because it was his b-day and he was going to have a party. We made our way up there and when he opened the door and we walked in, all of a sudden everything changed…towards the worse. He was watching the new hairspray in a very dark room and I walked up to the tv and when I saw John Travolta in the fat suit, which was hilarious, for some reason I got really REALLY really frightened. Travolta’s eyes seemed really dilated and the grew huge like alien eyes. I got cold/hot flashes and the room began to cave in on me. I had my ipod and decided to go in my buddy’s room and listen to some weezer because they always put me in a good mood. But as I lay on his bed and began to listen to the music, everything became tooo intense. I closed my eyes and I began to see all my friends and family, EVERYONE I knew laughing happily but aging at the same time and rotting out, I saw myself graduating college, getting married growing old dying..I saw the universe and my own insignificance within it. This all sounds very cool, but it was one of the most intense incites I had ever had. I couldn’t keep my eyes closed it was too scary, but when I opened them, everything was still really messed up too. The lamp shades were dancing around the lamp, a movie poster was crawling around the wall and the ceiling was wavy as if it was liquid.

I realized I was having my first bad acid trip and felt like I was about to have a psychotic breakdown. I ran out of the room and decided to talk to my friend. He has long curly hair and as he was trying to talk me down, all I saw was little versions of his face in his own hair laughing at me. My best friend now seemed like a freakish demon in my eyes. I decided to go outside and get some fresh air. I stepped outside and the sun was now setting. I had taken the cid hours ago and it took me soo long to peak that I realized I might be tripping for much longer than I had expected. I saw downtown Chicago with all the lights on and a purple sky with the sun setting and it seemed so beautiful that it hurt my eyes to look at it. In fact my eyes were so dilated that I could not really see anything more than 20 feet in front of me too clearly and people in the distance seemed hazy and unfocused. I decided to go back inside and have a beer, hoping the alcohol would take the edge off..and it did. In fact I got a pint of rum and decided to just get drunk to calm the whole trip down.

Good idea! People showed up for the party and we all ended up having a great time. But I still have goosebumps about the hour or so of hell. Because when the acid is in my head, I cannot escape it..Anywhere I go I'm still tripping, and despite my love for psychedlics I think I got my fix of the ultimate acid trip where I felt anymore would just kill me. I’ve eaten 5 hits before and not tripped as hard as I did off these thick, tasteless, star branded blotters. I don’t think I will trip again for at least a year, even though everything worked out ok. Setting is everything, I thought my trip was over then I switched locations and I got a mindfuck.

Acid, Ether and Alcohol - The Perfect Mix

My friends had just finished their end of year uni exams, and although I still had one more assignment due the following week, I decided to go out with them to get 'totally trashed' on a nightclub crawl.  Of the 4 other people I was with, 3 of them had no intentions of having anything other than lots of alcohol

Of the 4 other people I was with, 3 of them had no intentions of having anything other than lots of alcohol

, indeed when I pulled out the acid for myself and the other friend (who also knew about the ether) they seemed to deny any knowledge of 'what that shit is'.  In any case, at about 10pm (it was a Thursday night), I had one tab and my friend had only a half, despite my attempts to convince him to have more.

I had never tried these particular ones before so was unsure of the dosage, but banked on waiting an hour for the onset.  Half an hour later we parked the car on a popular strip and all got out to go get out first drinks and 'get the ball rolling' so to speak. Luckilly, I had a full bottle of Bacardi rum on hand and also plastic disposable cups. We each has about 3 shots worth of rum, sculled in one hit (except the guy who still had to drive us to where the main clubs were).  When I opened my case to get the rum out, my friend who had also had some acid noticed I HAD brought along the ether; 99+% pure reagent grade diethyl ether.  He had tried it before, when I first got the ether and we had our first binge (which was not done in conjunction with any other drug), so both he and I knew what to expect of the ether, but not really what to expect with the ether combined with the alcohol.

After a few deep huffs each (we put a hanky at the opening of the bottle and turn it upside down to just wet a little patch and then hold that at our mouthse and sucdk a lungful of air through the wet patch) we were laughing our arses off whilst the other people with us kind of looked on with curiosity and disapproval as if we were inhaling gas or glue or something.  Although the high only lasted a few minutes, the residual effects of the ether persist for some time, a bit like being drunk on alcohol after inhaling heaps of nitrous oxide (which gives a similar high).  By the time we all got back in the car it was about an hour after we had taken the acid, and although we were both thoroughly intoxicated by the alcohol and ether, we were pissed off because we couldn't feel any effects from the LSD.  However, in hindsight, the euphoria we had could not be explained by just ether and alcohol; that is, once the ether high wore off, we were still giggling and talking to each other as if no one else was in the car, like in our own private little world in which we could understand each other completely clearly but everyone else was just minding their own business.  My friend doing the acid and ether with me was especially annoyed about the acid as he was certain he had just sucked on an untreated piece of paper for an hour or so (and this WAS his first ever acid experience).  I however knew better.

I could feel a detached, altered awareness which I recognised from the previous (and first time) I had ever had acid before.  Perhaps my friend, despite my warnings to the contrary, expected to have massive hallucinations on half a tab, or expected to feel a hit as the LSD came on or something, like most other drugs.  What I think happened is that he convinced himself that the LSD was bogus and continued in his skewed, slightly altered state for the rest of the night, repeatedly denying that the LSD was working on him, despite my efforts to explain to him certain behaviors which we were both exhibiting could not be explained by either the ether or the alcohol.  It is worth noting at this point that we drove to the main clubbing area, where we planned to go to maybe 3 or 4 different clubs and have drinks at each one; which we did. We we drank steadily (maybe 2 beers an hour) from about 11:30pm till about 4:30am.  Also, we had maybe 2 more small binges on the ether; I have a little hip flask only big enough for about one shot of liquid, and I filled this with ether so we could do it in the club.

The first club we went to, I was starting to feel really fucked... As in, the alcohol was making my movements a bit awkwards, the ether was still giving me a bit of a residual high and there was something else... Which could only be the acid -  skewing my perception and creating a psychedelic euphoria which was magnified by the loud speakers and flashing lights in the club.  I bumped into an old friend from high school (about 3 years ago) and the first thing he asked me was 'what are you doing tonight? Eccies or what?', which was a little disturbing because I never talk to this guy and he would never expect me to take drugs; I was never into that when I knew him.  I can only suspect that he noticed our strange behaviour and knew it was something other than alcohol, or perhaps noticed my eyes were dilated (which they were).  I explained to him that we were just having some ether and he was not really surprised (maybe he could smell it and knew what it was).  I think his dad is a doctor so he would know all about ether.

Anyhow, we had some shots in the club and my acid/ether friend brought a bit of the vodka back up and we were kicked out of the club.  I was quite fucked at this point, and remember that we had the shots (I didnt see him bring it back up), then I noticed he was walking to the exit next to a guy in a suit, who I (at the time) suspected was a friend of his from work or something. I didnt even suspect that he was a security guard.  I remember asking him as they walked away 'did I miss something here? What's happening?' then we were outside and he explained who the guy was and what happened.

So we went back to the car and refilled the little flask, did that ether and went to the next club.  I remember walking around the club as if I was touring a museum, as if those people were just in another world, and I was talking about them to my friend as if they could not hear me (remember, in our own private little bubble?).  We had some more drinks and finished the flask of ether, and I decided to do an experiment, because he was still saying that the acid was a dud, despite the obvious non-alcoholic, non-ether effects on his behaviour.  I was not feeling drunk as such, just a little weird and invincible.

I was not feeling drunk as such, just a little weird and invincible.

 I decided to play a game of Point Blanc, the shooting game.  I scored higher than I ever had before, getting 100% accuracy on levels which I had never been able to pass before (I am an experienced Point Blanc player).  It was as if I had all the time in the world to pick targets... Like times was slowed down.  Then we went over to a pool table and my acid friend played pool against one of the other guys who had been having heaps of drinks and was really pissed.  I remember sitting down and waiting for ages, listening intently to the song being played by the DJ (one of my old favourites) and wondering why the game was taking so long.  The My acid friend won the game and came over to me, saying to his defeated opponent 'gee, what a quick game!'.  I asked him how long the game had taken and he said maybe 5 minutes, and I was shocked. I swear I had been sitting there for half an hour or more, waiting for them to finish.  But then I realised that the same song was still playing... And a song doesnt last 30 minutes!!! DAMN! Was this the LSD working on me?  I wasn't quite sure, but I remember asking my friend throughout the night 'what time is it? How long have we been here? How many songs have been played?'  I was thoroughly experienceing time much slower than everyone else. I felt like we had been there all night when we decided to leave, but it had scarcely been 2 hours.

We went to the casino to sober up a bit and breath tested ourselves on the machine. I had 0.053 and my acid friend 0.12. BAC.  This was at about 5:30am.

I have to say that this was the best ever drug experience I have had; the alcohol, ether and acid worked wonders, and I didnt have a single paranoid, anxious moment the whole night.

I didnt have a single paranoid, anxious moment the whole night.

  There was a window of about 4 hours when I was just feeling absolute euphoria, total bliss, but was still able to function normally as if I was only a little drunk.

Best of all, I didnt have any hangover or comedown the next day.  The dance music really enhanced the experience.

This was my first experience with lsd, and I gotta say, it was certainly an interesting experience. It was a couple nights before halloween, and I was attending my first rave. When we drove in they were just starting out the music, with guests still attending. While getting prepared for the night with all my necessities (bong, water, wallet ect.) my friend T comes up to me and says he would like someone to try acid with him. Being ever curious about hallucinagens, I agreed.

I placed the tab on my tongue and sucked on it for a good 20 minutes before swallowing it. After about 20 minutes, I overheared that same friend talking about finding someone with good e. Since it was my first rave, I wanted it to be memorable, so I offered to pitch with them. We walked off with the dealer to head back to his car. He was with several other friends, and they were all very high on their own product, so were difficult to deal with, let alone keep them going in a constant straight line. Finally after about 20 minutes of trudging down the road with them we arrived at his car and paid for our product.

On the return journey, I thought I felt a little different, but I wasn't sure what to expect to I wasn't sure if it was hitting me yet or not. Our only visibility was our phones, we could see very little, all of a sudden, we weren't on the road, and were very disoriented. I couldn't understand how I could've traveled off the path, I was so sure of my way. After a couple minutes we found the path and continued on our way. We got lost a couple more times, but eventually found our way back to the main area. By this point it had been about an hour, and the acid was definitely affecting me. The world had taken on a slightly more defined and sharp appearance, the black seeming less profound, light and color having an unusual hue.

I popped back my caps and went to smoke weed. While I was smoking, I could feel my lungs expanding seemingly more easily and much larger than usual, and when I exhaled the smoke, it swirled around in a dancing pattern, coiling before my eyes in the air as it rose out of sight. I entertained the thought that if the smoke had a concious mind, it would be a very joyful entity. I went and conversed with several of my friends and checked out the music at all 3 stages, listening closely to the bass and the rhythm, finding subtle patterns in the way the music swirled, invisible around me. Finally the e hit me, and hit me hard.

Very suddenly my body got warm and fuzzy feeling, my sense of touch increased tenfold, I leaned against a car and let out a long sigh of contentment, feeling the air rush out of me, it felt incredible. I felt alive and vibrant. I walked to the far stage and started to dance. Liquid dancing (a dance of fluidity, mainly using your hands) is very popular here in B.C, and I was no exception. My hands and body flowed like never before, I could feel all the muscles contracting and releasing, but they were no longer made of flesh and tissue, or at least I could feel every bit of the water in my body, and it made everything easier. I danced for hours and hours, I felt amazing, untamed, details became even more defined, I could see the sweat beading other people, their emotions flowing out from them. The entire world around me was a sea of light from the colored lights above the stage, bathing everyone in vibrant green and blue and red. I conversed with few, preferring to dwell in the serenity of my perfect mind. I could think more clearly then ever before. My personal regrets and pain clawed at me, but they could do no more harm to me than a flea would.

I conversed with few, preferring to dwell in the serenity of my perfect mind. I could think more clearly then ever before. My personal regrets and pain clawed at me, but they could do no more harm to me than a flea would.

 After a long while I finally got tired, and my mind snapped out of the trance the music had left me with. I walked away from the stage and returned to my ride's car. I spent much of the remainder of the night contemplating my life and conversing with a select few friends. I wanted to know so much, I wanted to learn so much more about everything. I asked them a lot of questions about their own life, immersing myself in the lives of the people I knew to be my friends.

Several hours later, I started to come down, my soul and mind becoming more and more aware of my normal, physical being. At around 6 am we left back home, getting a couple laughs at cars in the ditch. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable experience, in which I learned a lot about myself. I've tried several drugs, and lsd is by far my favourite

The first two days had been spent with my roomate's mom and grandmother. Boring as hell and even slightly irritating, his grandma was a sweetheart, and oblivious to our intentions. On day three, we had decided to take a trip to Sea World - something that my roomate's girlfriend had been wanting to do since we first were planning this road trip. Grudgingly, I went with, and we spent the next 12 hours or so cavorting around fishes and whales and whathaveyou. Not exactly my idea of a good time, but whatever...I go with the flow anyway.

We get home and his grandmother is tired and just wants to go to bed. We stayed up a little later with his mom, until she too went to sleep. We had already decided midway through the day that we were going to be taking our drugs that same night, so when the coast was clear, we dropped it.

We offered half a hit to his girlfriend, but she wasnt sure she wanted to...until the blotter was halfway dissolved in my roomate's mouth. They shared the rest of his hit and off we went, walking down the road to Wal-mart. Strolling through the empty streets in the warm florida air, we got a few moments to reflect and take in everything that had happened to us so far, and everything that was about to. This being my first time with Acid, I remember being particularly nervous about it - but my experiences with other drugs calmed me... I knew that no matter what I saw, I would be in control of myself, and that I wasn't going to 'freak out' or anything like that.

The first giddy wave hit us as we were standing in line at the store. I remember thinking, 'is this it? Has it finally hit me?'. But it was just a precursor for things to come.

We managed to get home in short order and without incident. The drugs were definitely taking hold. We had been smoking copious amounts of ganja before and after we went to walmart, but this was something else... I could feel this body buzz coming on like a wave almost...I suppose that is the most accurate description, but it doesn't begin to describe the actual feeling.

It was after a few minutes of sitting on the back porch, having a conversation with my two companions, that I decided that I wanted to smoke an Al Capone Sweet. For those of you who dont know, the Al Capone sweets are little rum dipped cigars that you can buy at pretty much any convience mart. Tobacco lovers, give them a try...they taste amazing. Too small to roll a blunt with unfourtunatly. Oh...and get the non filters, of course.

So we decided to make another trek, there was a CVS pharmacy nearby that sold them. We all put on hats to cover our eyes and once again traversed the lonely streets to reach our destination. Once we were finally underneath the unsettling buzz of the flourescent light though, in the cool air conditioned confines of the poor mans Walgreens, we realized exactly how messed up we were. No hallucinations yet, but the body buzz was so strong it almost paralyzed me.

With a great show of willpower, I walked up to the counter, lifted my hat from my eyes and asked the gray haired man behind the counter for the Al Capone sweets, rum flavored. Unaware of what they were he asked me in a heavy southern accent as he slid the pack over to me, 'Well what are these here?'

'It's a cigarillo' was my response.

'I'm goin' to have to see some I.D. There'

So I took out my wallet and showed him my out of state license. He took a minute to find my birthday, did the math in his head and then gave it back to me, satisfied that I was of age.

'Illinois huh? That's a long way off' he said, almost disapprovingly

'Yea, we're here on vacation,' I said, indicating my two cohorts, 'Drove down here...24 hours or so.'

Things were going horribly wrong in my head. As I was talking to the man at the register a young black woman, his manager or something, came up to him and punched a few buttons on his register. It popped open, and she made change for him. As he shut his register though, something strange happened... She seemed to get the skin on her hand caught in the register, and he turned to her and laughed...but it wasn't an ordinary laugh. It was more sarcastic, like they were sharing a private joke or something.

I didn't know what to do...Were they being snide to us? It seemed like a scene from a movie or something. To this day, I can't figure out if they were showing us a little bit of that southern hostility that is only reserved for 'out of towners'. And who knows why it bugged me so much....but the entire walk home and for the next hour, I obsessed over it. Not always verbally, I kept my mouth shut after about 5 minutes of talking about it, but in my mind I kept turning the situation over and over in my head..did she really get pinched in her register, or was that just a way of interrupting me and getting me to leave, or was I just out of my mind?

Now, the thing about acid is it will make a person terribly paranoid. You'll start seeing faces where there are none. Heads will appear to turn and stare at you when you see someone in the corner of your eye. When someone does look at you, you feel incredibly creeped out my their gaze.

After the CVS, things get very hazy...We went back to the porch and spent the next few hours tripping out of our minds. I remember fragments of a thousand experiances, hints and whispers of what my mind was thinking at the time, and just barely a taste of the wonderful and beautiful feelings that shook me into another plane of existance.

What I do remember:

Watching the ceiling, it was a simple porch roof made of aluminum siding, cast with shadows and faint discolorations. But while I sat in my chair, feet propped up on the table in front of me, that simple roof became a canvas of colors and shapes, which the mind cannot possibly imagine on it's own.

What can only be illustrated as raindrops of neon rainbows forming an entire seascape. I can see the entire topside of the water at some times, as if I were a bird looking over this brightly colored ocean. Other times I was under the water, watching the fish and plants.

I remember one fish in particular...I remember immediately naming him the Coelocanth. Compromised of the neon particles, it snapped at my face - then the hallucination ended.

Nicks beard hair growing at a rapid rate.

As I looked at Nick another time, he said that it felt like his face was melting. As soon as his mouth formed the word melting though, I saw his eye and nose droop down to his chin. He saw my eyes go wide with disbelief and possibly even horror, and instantly began laughing. I joined him.

Going inside to try and sleep it off sometime at four in the morning. The air conditioned house, along with the ambient buzz of the television and the mere mental freakout of taking acid at my roomate's grandmother's house killed my hallucinations entirely. I felt uneasy though...something in my gut just did not want to be in the house. So we go out and smoke another bowl...and the hallucinations return. Another few hours is spent in ceaseless amazment at every hallucination. By our count the drug should have worn off, and yet, here we were...still out of our minds.

I've been typing for almost an hour now...and honestly, that is all I can remember about acid. It was an experiance I wont forget though....if that makes sense.

I have to firstly say that I completely advocate the use of drugs as Ive had fantastic experiences on so many occasions.  However, there was one time in my drug history where I took too much LSD and had an experience I could only equate as utter Hell.

I was 19 at the time and completely up for doing any drug.  I bought 10 trips from my neighbour at college and went home to do acid with my friend.

The night began with him and I going to this girl's birthday party, but before going in I said to my friend that we should take 3 trips each (I had a brilliant experience in the past with acid and assumed that taking 3 times the strength could only make it 3 times better).  The night began really well as my friend and I gradually became higher and higher on acid at this girl's party.  Of course the party was at her parents house, hosted by her parents so we weren't exactly doing the most civilised of activities.  I told my friend that we had to leave and he agreed so we left to walk home.  I lived in quite a rural area and so the walk home was essentially through part of a town and the country...

The walk home was phenomenal.  Whenever I used to do acid, the whole time-era I was in went back to the 1950s as everything became black-and-white, and the streetlights gave a neon tint making the whole world be in pure technicolor.  So many mad incomprehensible occurance took place like a huge friendly Great Dane in the middle of nowhere with no owner with it.  Imagine that, walking down a country road and fields far miles from any houses and a huge Great Dane comes up to greet you.  This was obviously a stray dog but the coincidence of us tripping as well was mad!!  And we were still getting higher and higher on acid...

Anyway, once we got back I said to my friend that I wanted to go in and listen to the Orb music to really add to the experience.  We separated from each other and I got in my house.  This must have been the early hours of the morning and I knew that its always a good thing to drink a glass of orange juice before going to bed when I've been tripping.

I opened the fridge door and got a glass from the cupboard.  I then started to pour the orange juice and the whole world then became orange, pure ORANGE.  This was the hallucination becoming solid, no trails of lights on the edges of objects, but a complete change of my visual field to the colour ORANGE.  The whole world became one single shade of orange, no differences in shades, just all the same shade of orange.

Of course I started to panic and the experience got worse and worse.  I then had the images that I was seeing, merging into each other all around me.  Every image around me - what was a toaster, what was a kettle, what was an orange juice carton, a chair, they all started merging into each other and I was seeing images as though they were monsters approaching me from the left again and again and again.

I lost the complete 'core self' that we all have.  I term this 'core consciousness' - the part of you which is the experience of being 'you'.  Your 'I' if you like.  That went from me and all I was thinking about was 'This is insanity there is no 'I' I am just an amalgamation of sensory inputs, I do not exist.  I also thought that even though I was 19 I was wearing my mind out completely i.e. I thought I had the mind of a 100 year old person and so I was running out of my finite numebr of thoughts.

I must have at some point taken all my clothes off, because I then remember walking round my small village completely naked with not an item of clothing on me.

The whole trip lasted for at least 14 hours as I eventually came down enough to find where I was and get back into my bedroom.  I have to tell you though, I cant image an experience ever being worse than that.

Mixing Lsd and Mdma. Lsdma.

My experience with drugs have been nothing but wonderful, with the exception of crack and cocaine. Which I stopped using about 5 years ago, cause it was causing me too much problems to handle. The usual addict problems, stealing, cero trust, no girlfriend, no real friends etc.

I’m 25 years old, and I tried acid at the age of 16. So by now I've lost count of how many acid I have taken in this period of time. Now about MDMA, I've only used it for like 2 years; I've done it around 15 times.

The day I decided to tried candy flip (acid and mdma at the same time) was the night Infected Mushroom was in town. Just 2 days after my birthday, so I was really in a good mood. And that’s why I decided to try it for myself. Hoping to get higher than usual.

I took a drop of acid like around 10:20 pm. And waited around 15 minutes to take the mdma capsule. I took the acid and the capsule at that hour cause I knew that the band was going out to play around 11 pm.

The upcoming was weird; both drugs were taking place at the same time. I can't say I felt bad, I was just agitated.

The upcoming was weird; both drugs were taking place at the same time. I can't say I felt bad, I was just agitated.

 Experiencing some anxiety. I didn’t know whether I should stand up or sit down. After maybe 15 minutes this condition disappeared.

After that the trip took another condition. I could really feel that I was high on acid, but at the same time I felt really eloquent, hyperactive. I was moving and talking really fast, I was feeling really well. The band was already playing they had like 30 minutes going on, and I was dancing, yelling. Felling higher and higher, so I decided to take a break and go out to chill for a while.

As I walked outside the building I felt the high somehow different, because of the changing set. Now I was outside, and could listen the band playing inside the building just behind me. I found a friend outside and asked him for a smoke.  As I was touching myself, I felt my touching sense to be really sensitive, so I was rubbing my hands in my legs really quick. My friend told me that I looked really hyperactive. And I was, so I smoked the cigarette and then got back inside...

My trip with candy flip was basically it, I was on a hyperactive acid, doing 1000 rpm. With minimum visuals but with a lot of visuals...it’s a weird pleasant state of mind. I felt I wanted to do a lot of things at the same time.

After some 4 hours, I felt that the mdma was falling down, I was feeling kind of sad cause I wasn’t as high as I was just 2 hours before...and also felt sad cause I couldn’t feel the acid, I knew I had 4 hours left of my trip with acid, but I couldn’t really feel it. I was just feeling kind of high.

I didn’t slept the whole night, around 4 am I took another half of another mdma capsule. It gave me an extremely high pleasure. Cause the acid was coming down, and since it was only half of one, it gave me just the vibe and energy that I was looking for.

As I look back, I can now tell that I like acid and mdma better by themselves. All though I think acid is the best way to open my mind up, so I’m not mixing those things up any time soon. The next weekend I took another drop of the same acid, and I felt way better than on my trip on candy flip, which I liked a lot.

Hello, this is Jordan. I am not going to tell you about the full acid trip because there are plenty of other trips written up online that describe the same basic stuff. So I want to share the unique part of my experience. I was at a friends house and took one dose from a blotter paper at 9:00am to start the trip.

Sometime deep into the climax of my LSD intoxication I was sitting in a living riving on a wooden chair. For some reason I was looking at another chair sitting somewhere in the middle of the room. This chair was a computer desk chair, a chair with four wheels and spins. It was facing me. However, I imagine the description is not too important. So, I was looking at this chair when I noticed something very odd. Everything started to rotate. I wasn't moving, but everything I was looking at, in example the chair, was rotating in all directions from one point. This startled me a little bit because I was seeing the backside of the chair, even though the FRONT was facing me. [NO, the chair itself was not moving!] The rotation speed seemed to speed up until I realized that I was seeing the chair, and the rest of the room, at every possible three-dimensional angle at once. It is extremely hard for me to describe what seeing the chair and the rest of the room from every possible angle was like.

Everything was sort of meshed and took on irregular shapes that I would never have been able to comprehend before seeing them. It did NOT look like a bunch of different images layered over each other. It was almost as if my vision was bending around each object. But seeing the chair from every angle made me realize that there was more to it, much more to it. By that point I realized I was not only seing the chair in every possible three-dimentional angle, but I was also seeing more of the chair than was ever there in three dimensions. It was almost as if everything I was seeing imploded and exploded and retained original shape at the the same time, yet meshed into one shape that still has me baffled. The chair that normally looked so straight and so symetrical was now a complete mess. It was like...it was EVERYWHERE. But everything else in the room was everywhere too! What I thought was everywhere before didn't seem to exist because everywhere took on a new meaning. I also began to feel like I was being...pulled. Pulled isn't the right word though, because the feeling I am trying to describe I never thought existed. It was sort of like being pulled by gravity, but not just down, in every direction. And in other directions that I didn't know existed. And every part of my body down to each atom felt like it was being pull in every direction plus the directions that I didn't think existed. Again, remember I am trying to be careful with the word pull because it really wasn't the same. But it was as if I taking up new space. Space that I've never felt before perhaps.

I have not been able to get over what I saw. I don't know if I actually saw in 4 dimensions, but what I saw was not at all normal.

After a couple years of somewhat regular use, there are a few things I started to notice.  One is that I starting looking at life and the 'rules' differently.  So I know there were some changes going on, a waking of the mind.

I had been color blind since a traumatic event as a young child.  I have some ideas on why, and know the how, but being color blind is embarrassing to say the least. Let me just say, the 'need' for color got put unto the back burner for the sake of preservation. At many points in my life, if the crayon didn't have the label on it, I could not tell you what color is was, other than light or dark.  Grey, brown, green and dull red's all looked exactly alike to me.  Beyond that I can tell a difference between the primary colors, especially if I knew that's all that was there, but it was more by elimination than recognition.

Anyway one day I took a couple hits, and was walking down Garnet Ave.  My friend at the time was on the same dose as me, and we were feeling it.  As I walked and tried not to look too many people in the eye, there were red bricks on the ground, and they really got my attention.  They looked more red than normal, but more than that they had a 'uniqueness' about them I had never seen before.  The texture was 'trippy' but more than that, the colors just had my attention like never before.  The color had meaning to me, which it never had.  Then like a bad movie, A purple laser beam shot out of the corner between two of the bricks, and hit me in the eye.  There was nothing there just bricks and mortar, but something had happened, I had seen purple for the first time in my life.  I understood it, recognized it as a color in itself, not just a shade of blue.  An audible pop went off in my head when this happened, and to this day, 20 years later, I still see colors.  I don't see them with an 'artists' eye, but life is much better for me now, I can stop and smell the flowers, and appreciate the melody of colors that populate a spring meadow. Life has much more depth to me, and I believe LSD rebooted part of my brain that had been disabled in my past.

My trip began early that day. It was about 11:00 a.m. when I took the first hit. Although this could have been mind over manner, I believe I felt the effects of LSD the second it dissolved in my mouth (I also felt this way almost immediately after taking shrooms). Of course, the effects weren't very strong but I noticed a slight change in consciousness. Colors began to get a lot brighter and I noticed something was different. However, I wasn't exactly sure what it was. After about an hour, I was disappointed that I didn't experience any kind of hallucination. At least it wasn't what I expected. At this point, my mind was altered a great deal and the colors were very enhanced. They were absolutely beautiful.

This is when I decided to take the sec  ond hit. It ended up being a very stupid decision because I was called into work. I was a waitress, and this is definitely not something I want to be doing while I'm tripping! I went to work at 3:00 p.m. and worked until about 8. I was very uncomfortable at work because I was sweating a great deal. Perspiration was dripping from my body. One minute I was hot, the next I was cold. I also kept knocking things over. I was a very klutzy waitress. Lets just say I didn't get very good tips that night! One thing I noticed about my experience, which was similiar to shrooms, was my imagination. I would look at something and imagine myself to be somewhere else. As if I were in a movie or a different world. For example, when I looked at a table under this very bright light I imagined I was in a movie. There was a person sitting at that table smoking a bowl. When I was on shrooms, I imagined that while I was walking down the street I was actually in the ocean. I thought the lawn sprinkler was a huge wave. Anyway, let's stay on the subject of LSD....

When I finally arrived home from work, I listened to a lot of music. A lot of Pink Floyd of course, some punk rock, basically anything I liked a lot. Later that night, when I tried to go to sleep, I found that my eyes refused to shut. They would immediately bulge open. This is when things took a turn for the worse....

The nighttime part of the trip was the hardest. The shadows on my windows transformed into monsters. (I had been waiting for a visual all day, and this was what I got!) Some of them looked like skeletons. I thought I was going to die. I kept thinking that maybe I should leave a note for my mom and apoligize to her. I wanted to tell her that I loved her. I was really starting to panic. This was very scary and at one point I wanted to start crying. I did eventually calm myself down, but this took about an hour. Eventually, I did fall asleep. It was about 3 a.m. but it finally happened.

All in all the trip was amazing during the day. It was a very interesting experience. LSD is probably the strangest drug I have ever taken. The night was difficult, but I made it through. I learned that I like shrooms a lot better. I've never had a difficult experience on shrooms and this is why I like them over LSD. Every shroom experience has been highly pleasurable and a life changing journey. LSD was pleasurable at first, but difficult at the end. It wasn't the least bit life changing, just mind altering. VERY mind altering.

[Erowid Note:
Driving while intoxicated, tripping, or extremely sleep deprived is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]

I had tried lsd once before with little effect other then intense laughter and apprehencation of music. I was pretty open to trying it once again with a higher dosage and my friend 'joe' felt the same way. So one day after waiting for a time to do it we decided to go camping at a beautiful lake. We had to do things like meet his gf and pick up the acid and by the time we were on our way it was 138 am. We wanted to go up to whistler first but when we got there the highway was closed so we sat on the side of the highway toking out of my bong when we decided to drop the acid.

We then drove down to the lake and got out for a look see. It was 4 am and light was just starting to appear over the mountain. Nothing much was happening we sat on a bench played frisbee and walked around. At about 5 the sun started to come over the mountain and that's when it started. I kept seeing these shapes of gods in the sky and the trees but not only where they moving but they were dancing as if there was some kind of music playin. This was just the start the dancing and movement of the gods intensified and there were more of them dancing and swaying to the music. Not one single god was the same, some were smaller some took up half the sky but they danced together constantly. Then in the trees I saw purple and yellow elephants shrinking and spliting into 2 and multiplying over and over again. All I could do was sit there and watch this happen. It seemed to calm down as the sun eluminated everythign.

We played a little more frisbee until we decided that we should go somewhere else. So we got in the car ( I do not recommend doin this even though we did) and we drove up to whistler to skate the park. We were so distracted by the ppl lookin at us the 2 weirdos that we left. We wanted to smoke some more pot so we found an old loggin road and we walked along it and we looked over and there was this massive rock face and we saw like carvings in the rocks that shaped ppl and we started to believe that world was made for humans and this is wat the carvings told us. We stared at these carvings as we packed a bowl in the bong. We decided we had enough of these crazy carvings by this time it was 9 am and we thought we should find some other symptom of entertainment.

So we drove yet again and while driving we see this beautiful river that was fed from a glacier and it was beautiful. We parked the car and climbed up the hill and all of the sudden we stopped and looked at the ground and there was a fast layout of vibrant colours these moss like plants grew all along this forested hill and they all had different colours from red to blue from green to orange and we were absolutely blown away after a huge colaberation of this we decided to move on

We found the river and we swam in it. Was amazing the cold water hit us like 1000 bricks in the chest. We hung out there for a while smoked another bowl and left. We drove home and crashed instantly I was so tired. Lsd was one of the most amazing moments in my life but not without its marks on my mentality.

It was my very first taste of 'hardcore' drugs. I had done pot and plenty of alcohol but not much else.

I tripped with a couple roommates, we all took it at the same time around 1 or 2 pm.

We started by watching the Beatles classic 'Yellow Submarine'. Amazing, we had fun just lying on the floor and watching all the crazy things in that movie. But since I was on the floor all it took was a slight uncomfortable moment to make me want to constantly move around. Eventually we became restless and went on a nature walk. We walked to a small area near by, void of people. Stood around a sewer grate, watching it, some of us first trippers were paranoid about what people would think if they saw us.

We then headed back, realizing that we were indeed tripping hard. We would some and go a lot throughout the day and night and my sense of time was lost, when I would come back I would go to my room and sit on my bed, everytime I did this I would think to myself that maybe I was caught up in this infinite time warp, thinking I would be doomed to do the same thing over and over.

I then began to trip by myself. I saw the wood grain on my roommates bed grow and change, then the ceiling would form these sort of rainbow images. I then began exploring my computer, realizing how much, much better some music is. Beatles, Pink Floyd, and other artists sound amazing. I closed my eyes and lied on my bed relaxing and feeling my body sort of melt away, where the only thing left was my existence, no materials just my thoughts and mind. I then went back to my computer, watching my background morph and icons move. I attempted to go online but failed, so I just went to Itunes visualizer, the visuals were amazing, it seemed as if it would seep into our reality and become the only thing I could see.

Then we reunited once again. We took another trip outside and basically attempted not to look foolish. While tripping, I always felt paranoid that someone would see me but when others would say this I would look at them and the only evidence of the trip was huge pupils.

We eventually also decided to take a trip to a dining area here. Everyone seemed to be looking at us, eating wasn't a high priority because LSD makes me lose my appetite. I had only french fries, none of which I remember eating. The others either had nothing but fruit. It was alright except we ran into an authority figure, not a cop but someone who could get us in trouble. For first time trippers, going out with lots of people is not recommended until you know how to handle it and how you will feel.

Finally the rest of the trip consisted of us finding places to rest and savour the rest of the trip. I had to stay up until 5 am because I couldn't come down from it. One guy who had tripped went to a party later.

All in all, I had a fun time. Would definetly do it again.

A couple weeks ago I was busted for smoking weed at school, and managed to get away with probation and drug tests. After some searching aroundonline and asking some questions of friends, I decided to try LSD, as it would not be picked up in my tests.

A friend who quit using anything a while ago gave me four OLD hits. The fact that these were old no doubt accounts for the relatively mild nature of this trip, I knew that it would be weak so I took it all at once, at about 11:00 at night, along with a glass of OJ, I heard that helped.

It came on slow, I started feeling my mood go way through the roof about 20 minutes into it, and by 45 minutes in I had a huge goofy grin, and just felt different. When I walked I adopted bizarre postures because that felt more right somehow.

I sat around talking on AIM, and at about an hour and a half in, it began to look as though the words on the screen were at odd angles to each other. I though this was WONDERFUL and giggled joyfully. Not much longer after that it appeared that each word was on it's own little island, and the islands were moving and bumping each other. Once again I was laughing ecstatically at this sight. I figured that this was where it would get really interesting, so I signed off AIM to enjoy it.

I walked around my room, all hunched over and smiling ear to ear. I saw that if I stopped and focused on something, it seemed to swell and bend gently. I sat on my bed and put on headphones, then turned up 'Tales Of Brave Ulysses' by Cream, one of the best psychadelic songs ever. I put it on loop because I liked it so much and felt really connected to it. I found myself sitting on the edge of my bed feeling wonderful, rocking back and forth listening to this song. At this point I was watching the walls bend towards me, swelling and twisting. I was still overjoyed by this.

Then came my revelation: In Stephen Crane's story 'The Open Boat', the character of The Correspondent is sitting on a tiny boat in rough seas, fairly sure he will die. He remembers a poem about a dying soldier that he learned in school, but he never cared, despite how touching the words were. He realizes that now that he is dying, he understands it. He knows how tragic it is that the soldier is dying, and the only way to know that experience is to have it yourself.

I UNDERSTOOD 'Tales Of Brave Ulysses'. I knew that I had reached that level, I could really understand. I was so happy to have reached this level of connection and understanding with anything. I would listen to the words: 'You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever, but you rode upon the steamer to the violence of the sun' and I knew that I could never be brought down forever, that I would rather go and be the sun than live in the leaden winter. I knew, and I UNDERSTOOD.

There, alone in my room, I UNDERSTOOD.
