LSD - Trip Report (first time)
    #27906707 - 08/17/22 12:15 PM (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dosage: Half a tab of unknown strength

Tested: Yes - blotter was confirmed to contain LSD using a testing kit (provided by festival drug testing facility)

Disclaimer: I am rather sensitive to tryptamines. Lower doses of psilocybin mushrooms yield medium dose side effects and I suspect this same sensitivity can also account for the following LSD experience. I have done mushrooms on several occasions including one session of Mescaline (I consider myself "lightly" experienced with psychedelics, mostly comfortable with low/medium side effects).

Expectations: I was expecting this to be a light / manageable trip based on what others had told me to expect from half a tab (with the possibility of nothing much happening at all).

T:00:00

I let the blotter sit on my tongue for around five minutes before washing it down with water.

T:00:30

Nothing to note - still talking normally and just enjoying the festival environment.

T:01:00

Noticing a slight shift in "feeling". My skin feels clammy / sticky and standing in the direct sunlight makes me feel the sun's intensity more than I normally would.

T:01:30

Restless. I can feel the energy building and a slight trembling / body buzz like sensations (not too dissimilar to Mescaline). I can notice slight visuals - lines and extra layers forming on objects around me. When I close my eyes I can "sense" a flashing, pulsating feeling to everything. Despite the energy I feel quite tired and almost drowsy...like the drug wants me to lie down and close my eyes.

T:02:00

We decide to head back to the tent to grab some juice - at this point I decide to take a seat and I explain to my friend (who is also on LSD) that I feel restless and that I can feel myself "denying" the experience. He tells me to let go and let it in. At this point I can feel the anxiety building and I'm starting to regret taking the acid. I know that I'm in for a long, unforgiving ride. Whilst in the forest I keep getting a peripheral visual effect where I feel like I'm surrounded by fog or smoke (this happens every time I enter the forest...but nowhere else). My friend suggests we walk down to the lake for a change of scenery - i agree to his suggestion. On our way down to the lake I can feel the anxiety morphing into a fight or flight response...I sense a panic attack approaching. At this point I stop and say to myself "don't you dare...you're not going there - you're going to be open and enjoy this experience no matter what happens...there is no other solution".

T:02:30

At the lake we meet a guy who wants to chat with us. I feel like I can't talk at the moment, but once I try I find I'm actually quite lucid and able to talk. I glance around occasionally and notice the sky is strobing from pink to blue and that some objects are changing colour entirely. I observe the dock on the lake and notice that it's starting to dissolve into a fractal-like pattern sitting next to it (at this point I'm thinking "I'm way too high for this situation right now...how has half a tab produced this level of tripping?"). The conversation shifts and we start talking about Covid (not sure how this happened, but it did) and I exchange a story of how I ended up in hospital with the virus. And this is the moment...it hits me - i relive the experience of lying in the hospital bed on the IV thinking "will i be one of those statistics...will i die from Covid?" and "how will my partner cope with this?...will she be ok?". I realize that I didn't process this moment at the time and I break down in tears next to the lake...I can feel the comfort of all of those who suffered putting a hand on my shoulder. It was a powerful release. And this is where the psychedelic trip begins...I had let it in, I had made peace with it...it was waiting for this moment.

T:03:00

Powerful visuals - everything looking like a face or a set of eyes, objects changing colour and shimmering...patterns are in absolutely everything...as if they had always been there. Closing my eyes reveals endless tunnels of geometric shapes. It's really difficult to keep track of the time here as it feels like everything is going so slowly. The fear is now gone and I'm just open to the experience. Occasionally I catch a "flaming eye"...not sure how else to describe it, but I've seen this on mushrooms before.

.

~T:06:00

The intensity occasionally subsides where I feel quite normal and often partake in conversations. I get another sensation that I need to rest and close my eyes...so my friend and I retire to an area that overlooks the festival. Up here I'm glued to my chair...it's fully dark now and the forest / everything around me looks spooky and threatening. I close my eyes and observe a visualization of my older brother...I can feel the fear building, I'm scared of what might happen next. I'm reminded of the trouble I had with my older brother during childhood / young adult life...but I don't let it bother me. I let out a "F***K it, that's all in the past now...I still love him". This clears the "dark" sensation that I'm feeling and I can sense that approaching these problems with love is what seems to work best in this state (who'd have thought? /s).

T:8:00 - 10:00


Coming down gradually at this point....still experiencing mild visuals and deep levels of thinking, but nothing like before.

T:11:00

My friend and I call it a night, it takes around an hour before I can fall asleep - I experience closed eye visuals where I observe strange, almost grotesque imagery.

The next day I feel absolutely exhausted and it takes a few days before I feel "right" again.

Some interesting observations:

   
  •     I was surprised at the energetic / tired (conflicting) sensations

  •     The visuals reminded me of a higher dose mushroom trip that i did when i was much younger (very similar)

  •     People talk about acid as being a "clean" drug. To me this wasn't the case...I could feel my jaw doing weird things and had a strange (metallic) taste in my mouth at some points in the night.

  •     It's no joke...I don't agree that it's easier to handle than mushrooms

  •     Would I do it again at a festival? probably not...but I don't regret the experience at all

  •     Overall positive experience with some difficult moments, I learned a lot about myself.


LSD gave me the trip that I needed...not the trip that I wanted.

Great read. As someone who has never tripped on shrooms but who is also sensitive to drugs I really value your coping methods when the trip seems like it's taking a dark turn.

10mg of commercial edible THC blows me out. Closed eye colorful and high pattern visuals, euphoria, slight open eye wavey distortions.
So, the thought of trying shrooms worries me.

Yes, sounds like we're similar - low doses of THC overwhelm me far too easily. I personally find low doses of shrooms (0.5 - 1.0g) way more manageable than THC, so if you're still curious you can always start on the low end. These days I tend to stay away from anything THC related.

would be interesting to see what think of LSD when at hOMe to a clean house, comfortable lounging, an ease to being about and some good food prepared when want.

Set and setting fun factors to play about.

For instance, years ago, i found best to keep whatever dose next to bed and when woke for the day off to first urinate of day, i would down the dose and get back to bed.  Waking up to a spectacular display of art was always a pleasure.  Some incredible experiences be had laying in bed and drifting away on the light of LSD.  One; seen life on fast forward and lived a whole life played out beautifully, not that life gone in that manner having seen vision to, yet was a four hour film roll played in the mind.  I see as the LSD starts to come on, easy it is to get under the wing and catch the draft.

Put some work into setting a grand trip for self.  Look to all that is of comfort and keep what can near.  Enjoy!

Hip, hip... WhoRAy!!!

Eye was thinking the other day...  ahh, thinking never done me no good.
