Substance: LSD Dose: 200-225ug Orally
This report is for anyone interested in a first-timers experience. There is not a lot of tips or anything of that nature, just the straight happenings over my first time using LSD. As I read through it once more I realize how much I skipped over, but being somewhat lazy and feeling that it is already too long as is I decided to not add any more. Hope you enjoy.
It was a late spring Saturday when Brian, Matt, and I assembled at the house. We chilled, watched some TV and made our plans; we'd get up early before the sunrise, ~5:30am, and drop shortly there after. We went to bed early to get plenty of sleep, I was literally nauseous from anticipation of the following day, the exact same feeling of being 8 on Christmas eve. I knew the following day would be amazing. I woke up first, jumped straight out of bed when my alarm went off, no snoozing today. Woke up my buddies in a chill manner and proceeded to make some breakfast. Matt and I ate a solid meal of eggs, bacon, toast and OJ well Brian declined saying he wanted an empty stomach. As we ate we cut up the 10 strip we had, I do not know the actual strength but from the experience I'd guess in the 80-90ug/tab range.
Matt and I the previous Halloween had taken what we were told was LSD but definitely was not, probably some sort of NBOMe (It was bitter and on thick blotter paper.) Matt felt euphoric from 1 tab of it, I took 2 and experienced slight visual hallucinations along with euphoria, but it was nothing, not even close, to what we were about to get ourselves into. Brian had dosed 1.5 tabs of LSD with another group of friends and as such had slightly more experience. Growing up together and smoking lots of weed, drinking, and doing salvia together we knew we had very similar tolerance to those and Brian said he definitely could of handled a higher dose of LSD. So we decided on 2.5 tabs each, ~200-225ug/person.
A quick run down on the environment before I get going on the trip; the house is very nice, huge ceilings with large windows and sliding glass doors leading out into a lush garden. The living room had wood floors with a large rug, two cushy leather couches and a bean bag, real nice speaker system, and most importantly beautiful pieces of art everywhere. Outside was right on the edge of the undeveloped/wilderness but was a lush manicured garden, literally 8 humming bird feeders and high trees/bushes so you couldn't see beyond the garden making it feel very secluded.
Back inside I went to the bathroom, something I'd read was highly recommended before dropping, splashed some water on my face and rejoined my buddies in the living room. We proceeded to stick the 2 and a half tabs under our tongues and just relaxed on the couch. Brian felt it first, most likely from skipping breakfast, he said he could feel it coming on. Matt and I not realizing at the time about how it would hit him first, because of the food, thought it could be a little placebo. At around 45 minutes we decided to go outside, at this point the sun was just cresting over the mountains and felt real nice, a great start to the day. Brian definitely was feeling it at this point, laughing a bit and just talking a little off. Matt and I began to feel the weak beginnings but still had that "the dealer screwed us didn't he?" thought you have before any drug you get takes effect.
At 50-55 minutes I decided the slight euphoria and giggles I had might be it so I best just lay back and relax. Matt told me later that he felt the same and also had somewhat given up at this point of a strong trip and was just chilling. So there we were, Brian was giggling at some rocks, Matt was just kinda talking to me and I was laying in the grass just checking the clouds out. I decided to take my coat and shirt off, it was going to be about 80 out that day and I liked the feeling of cool grass on my skin. Regardless of the bunk acid, it was a beautiful day I thought, the morning clouds were wispy with sun rays streaking horizontally across them. I didn't notice it at first, Matt's voice became distant, the clouds started to move just slightly quicker. I thought it was some wind moving in, bummer.
Then BAM, right there it hit me. I was staring at blue koi fish, swimming in a white pond of clouds, it took me a second to process the image, it was so sudden. From this point on we never checked the time as it seemed pointless so I can only guess how long these events took. Not sure if I could handle this very real cloud koi pond I sat up quickly, and was grounded for just long enough to look at Matt, exchanging a "Oh Yea, this is the real deal" look.
From there I tripped on the amazing sky for awhile, it turned from koi to kaleidoscope fractals to a pulsating blanket that just went on and on. I cannot fully remember what Brian or Matt were doing specifically but each was tripping out on something in this amazing garden. I turned to my side and watched as the grass shifted colors, rising and falling like waves on the ocean. I examined some plants, fascinated by the complex hallucinations they were giving me.
I am not sure how long this went on for, but all of a sudden it seemed like as a group we all decided without speaking to wander inside. I was surprised to find how far out I could feel one moment then almost completely sober another. We walked in, filled some bottles with water and walked over to the couches and bean bag in the living room. My iPod was connected and I hit play on shuffle, unable to read the words off the screen. I laid back on the bean bag as the melody of Suite Judy Blue Eyes came quietly, yet almost overwhelmingly washing over me. My eyes slowly fell upon The Painting. It was a scene from Southeast Asia somewhere, a boat at a dock with hills and tropical jungle in the background. It looked normal for about a nanosecond, then it exploded. The colors were beyond anything I'd ever seen, vibrant and ever changing, it was moving and vibrating. Slowly it leaked from it frame and consumed the entire wall, colors pulsating with the distant beat of the song. I felt extreme euphoria looking at it, I was paralyzed by it. Realizing Matt and Brian were speaking, incoherent to me, I grasped for the words and barely managed to tell them to take a look with me at The Painting. Immediately they saw what I did, this painting had it going on! After some amount of time had passed Brian decided to go explore the house a bit, specifically downstairs. Matt and I not wanting to break this trifecta energy we had going followed. We made it down the stairs to a small nook area with a bench, not quiet in the basement, not quiet on the main level.
Here Brian and I had the oddest experience, it was completely over, we were completely sober again. Somewhat disappointing but also relieved we sat on the bench and were amused as Matt attempted to read a book. He was unable and we decided to head back upstairs. I stopped and grabbed some water, still feeling completely sober. I headed back into the living room, it was like restarting the whole thing again. I sat down, and just like before it came on full force real quick. The painting, the music, the wood floors, all of it vibing and all of the trip was in full swing again. Brian looked over and said he was also right back in it. I am not sure what caused this odd in and out effect, but I was just stoked to be back in it!
From here the trip became serene and extremely enjoyable, allowing me to steer it more then before. We headed outside into the garden once more. I took a pad from a lawn chair and laid out on the grass, just absorbing the rays of the sun. I rolled from pad to grass to pad, from sun to tree shade and back. Brian and Matt found relaxing spots and did similar. We spoke a bit, but mainly I remember just laying back and feeling so lucky to be alive, to have that day, it felt perfect.
We cycled inside for water, music or some reprise from the sun multiple times. None of us remember exactly the time line at this point, just the moments all mixed together. Inside and outside slowly combined as we opened windows and doors, it felt amazing being able to seamlessly move from the comfort of the couch to exploring the garden with the music softly playing inside and out.
Still both environments offered something different. Inside I felt like an old man, wrapped in a blanket like a shaman, the painting all the while still going off, a constant reminder of the trips continued strength. Outside I felt like a child, fresh off the umbilical cord, everything was new and wonderful.
All three of us were on the same page, just drinking it all in, and it just kept giving. We started to move farther and farther out in the garden, exploring all it had to offer. We spent what seemed to be hours watching a mother robin hunt worms then take them back to her full nest perched in a near by tree. This gave me much joy, realizing the meaning of 'garden universe'. Everything did exactly what it did in exactly the right way.
We worked up to going on a walk around the neighborhood, an excellent choice. The vibe followed us from the garden as weaved around the winding streets and took in every detail, just loving it. Heading back was the first time I checked the time, at 6 I had to go to a family dinner, something I had dreaded the day before.
Now though the thought of seeing my family floored me. I was excited to hug them, and to hear about their lives. It was a short drive over and I took it very slowly, I was by no means tripping at this point but felt opposed to any kind of rushing. I arrived and as expected had a great time just listening to the latest each family member was up to. I stayed only for a short time though, not wanting to leave Brian and Matt for long.
As I drove back I saw two figures high up on the mountain above the house, immediately I knew it was them. I parked and sprinted up, loving the feeling of exerting myself and breathing deeply. At the top I crested to see them sitting looking out at the soon approaching sunset. Not much was said, I just sat down and we watched as the sun drifted under the horizon, and then as the city slowly lit up. It was one of the most peaceful moments I've ever experienced, we had the perfect day from sun up to sun down.
We headed back down to the house. Sitting around snacking on some food and drinking more water, still not needing to say much. At around ~9:30 Brian and Matt said goodbye and headed back to their homes. Not feeling up to mentally reviewing the trip yet I turned on some TV to just zone out for a bit. A movie was playing, but I soon muted it. I quickly became sleepy, and shuffled off to my bed. I slept wonderfully and felt 110% in the morning.
If anyone has any questions or comments please don't hesitate to ask, I dropped one more time since, obviously I am not very experienced but would still be happy to answer.
TL;DR: I did LSD, it was good.
