so a little back ground info. For those of you who dont know, paradiso is a 2 day edm music festival. also i have had lucy twice prior and have used other psychedelics. we made plans to have someone meet us out there with the L(we will call him luke). skip to festival day 1 if you dont care about the festival expeirence and want to read about the trip.
(DAY 1) so this was a 4 day excursion for myself, my buddy(j) and his gf(m). we drove 5-6hrs out to the venue a day before the event to set up camp. on our way out we stopped once, and it just so happened we saw L at the gas station. we hugged and got all hyped together and then went our separate ways to the campground(s). we get to the camp and pick a spot in the shade by the outer wall(campground was a circle). we have a neighbor on each side of us. about 2 hours in we got a nice plus sized joint given to us from the right and then went on a walk to find some weed to buy.
We finally find some at this group and they let us hit there bong. one of the dudes there actaully made the very cool bent neck metal bong we were smoking out of, called hrb(hotrodbongs). after this we call an end to our first day. (DAY 2) next morning i wake up(6-7am) and find some papers and roll up a j to surprise my group, and then proceed to wake n bake 2 joints. a hr before we leave to the show, my friend asks me to find a rig to smoke out of cause he wasnt high enough off the joints. so i ask my other neighbors for their bubbler and one of them joined myself and J(M is shy and not too people/drug friendly so she sat out).
after a bowl j sits with his gf, and me and the guy(b) really hit it off talking about music/the festival. i mentioned it was my first festival and we started to talk about drugs/acid. next thing i know he was cutting me off a couple tabs from his sheet, gave me what he said was about 2 hits and wished me the best of luck at my first festival
THE FESTIVAL DAY 1
after sitting in the sun for an hour or so we finnaly start getting processed through the check in lines and getting checked by security. i snuck the acid in by putting it on my thigh in my tight spandex briefs, if the gaurd wasnt so focused on overly grabbing my balls and ass he maybe would of actually found it. i think he got what he was looking for tho  after the body search and bag check we were in, and i still had my acid . we proceed to walk the grounds and check out the stages and venue for an hour. then we went to the main stage for Pierce Fulton and i dropped 1 tab while watching there set and staring off into the gorge, i should mention the tabs were tasteless .
about 1hr later big gigantic was about to play and i was feeling rushes of uphroria coming on and was feeling the love so i went and danced with the pierce fulton crowd till Big G started. the main stage went from a small crowd too shoulder to shoulder in minutes if not faster. as soon as he started playing the sax the energy of the whole crowd was massive sending chills up my spine as we vibed together. the acid feels beyond clean and the stage and light show are enticing to look at and im starting to morph with my back pack, meaning it became part of my body as i moved through the crowd(out of body awareness i guess), very hard to explain but if you have used acid you know what i mean. i got the same feeling from holding my water bottle too long
i stayed in the pit for another 2 or 3 hours for galantis and dyro. when dyro started to play i was finally feeling exhausted from dancing in the 100degree weather and went on a misson for water and my friends. i found a booth selling water and bought one for $3(bastards tried to sell it to me for 5 thinking i didnt know how much it was ). at this point i was sitting down looking at the main stage feeling hydrated and great so i took my next tab and continued to dance to dyro.
im peaking hard now, sitting in the main pit with my feet aching while pouring water on myself to cool down, i decided i needed to find my friends. after what felt like forever in the blazing heat i found my friends buying some food, i stood with them in line while they told me i looked kinda fucked up and i honestly felt really high almost uncomfortable so i told them i was going to go sit in some shade we agreed upon. i lay down and start to zone out into the crowd when i hear someone throwup. i look up and see some guy puking his brains out in a trash can so i turn the other way and meet eyes with a friendly person. we talked about sacred geometry and also our love for lucy and dmt until my friends sat down.
we talk a bit more about the festival and then say our goodbye and go our separate ways. i was on a misson for food and my friend was helping me find some. we got to the bass stage for the end of haywyre, and i bought pizza during intermission for the next set. i sat down at the first spot i could to enjoy the food but became repulsed and nauseous very quickly from how hot the food was and how hot and heat fatigued i was feeling. i set the pizza down while Trippy turtle was talking and i no longer wanted or could sit up so i layed down right were i was and stared off into the sky. i remember thinking i needed some water and was about to attempt to get up.... thats when the bass hit. i was floored,(couldnt or didnt want to move) maybe about 20 feet from the front stage getting my world rocked by the bass. all i wanted to do was cool down but i didnt want to move. luckily a girl came by and sprayed me down after a long time of laying there . the mist felt like it was causing shock like euphoric waves down my body and i never felt so relieved from mist .
i took advantage of my chance of coolness and clarity to stand up(did a quick look around so i could tell my friends i was fine and just leaving the area but they were nowhere to be seen and i didnt want to get closer to the stage cause i was already feeling bass heavy. i walked away to the next stage on my to water and stopped to watch Green Velvit do a couple songs(his hair was cool lol). i finally got to water filling station by a waterfall and refilled my pack, i drank some water and then took of my shirt and just basked in the greatness that we call hydration.
the next goal was to take a piss. i remember walking through the thick crowd by the outhouses and just dripping sweat with the sun beating down on us(im sweating now thats a good sign). i had my bandanna up cause it was soaked in water but also cause it was smelly as shit(lol). i stepped into the stall and started to pee when i started to pour sweat(felt like 130degrees) and thought to myself i need to get out of here. at this moment it totally reminded me of "fear and loathing" when the main character is in the desert wanting to get out. i turned around and looked in the bass shaky mirror and laughed cause i even had the fear and loathing style going on(glasses bandanna, hat and my drink). right before i stepped out a couple fly's buzzed in front of me and made me think of a scene( we cant stay here this is bat country)from the movie. i stepped out laughing and people were just looking at me like wtf so i continued and went to find my friends . while on my walk i started to think about the cultural levels of people who attend festivals and make the community what it was. i felt that i was understanding PLUR and was thinking about the guy who gave me the acid to help me have the time of my life at my first festival, it made me want to help others have a good if not great time. i also started to notice the drug scene, what i mean by that is i could tell who was drunk, who was on molly and who was on acid. the awareness of that came when i was thinking about different cultural experiences, it made it that much easier to relate and vibe with everyone in a state of plur
at this point i didnt think i would find my friends but as soon as i rounded the hill to the main stage we walked into each other. at this point we sat down to armin van burren who had a magical feeling in the air [flash=,]https://youtu.be/NNO7SQEZ4Gk[/flash] , and talked about where i went and how we were enjoying the show. my friend asked behind his gf back if he could have a a little bite of my acid(his gf has no idea he like to trip,kinda fucked up) i was out tho so it didn't matter and i told him the situation.
he seemed kinda down since him and his gf were standing around at most of the shows and he wasnt tripping, so i took them down to the pit and danced with them for armin, showtek and knife party. after this i was very tired and high so i went and sat on top of the hill for martin garrix and his light show. a beautiful soul offered me her refraction glasses to use and it made my visauls crazy looking. i took them off cause it was a bit much and just watched the lazer light show hit the leaves of the tree i was under. i still felt high the next day and the festival was a great experience and there is so many interactions with people i wouldnt trade for anything
so many beautiful people and such a loving community. i could not have asked for a better first festival or a better venue. if you ever attend a festival remember P.L.U.R peace, love, unity and respect. know your limit and when to say no or yes, and always bring extra stuff to help others out or in case of emergency, even if its just a smile and good vibes or some extra water dont hesitate to help your neighbors.
also i heard a couple people passed away this year, i just want to say you and your loved one will be in my thoughts and prayers RIP 
love, laugh and live every day like its your last spiritual, soulful and simple is the way dream, delightfully and have divine moments
