So recently, and quite by chance, I found pan cyans growing in my garden, after fertilising my plants with cowpats collected in the streets around my house.
Decided to take 2.5g, which I powdered in the blender. I mixed them with a little soup to make them more palatable, and then had a cup of coffee to wash it all down.
It started to come on within 15 minutes and was pretty strong after an hour. Really, I felt it was too strong, but I'm always able to remain rational and not freak out or anything, so I was ok.
Went and lay on my bed, and the visuals came on, and they were like nothing I've ever experienced. They were like bejewelled 3-D molecules, but so incredibly intricate, like microscopic glass beads in every beautiful colour you could imagine. They were stunning, and seemed to be reaching out to me, like they had realised I could see them. So I was encouraging them to come to me, telling them repeatedly how beautiful they were. It seemed like they were kind of dying off at the tips, like a plant that needs watering, so I kept switching between telling them how beautiful they were, and apologising to them for somehow hurting them, or perhaps for humanity ruining our environment. There were tears streaming down my face.
I've never had visions/hallucinations that seemed so real like that before. At times the molecules warped into a kaleidoscope of stained glass windows, and then turned cartoon-like. They were exquisite and overwhelmingly beautiful.
I found I didn't want anything to enhance the experience and more than it was, so I didn't smoke a spliff, and I switched on SomaFM Deep Space One so wouldn't have to be dealing with changing music.
So there you have it, a lovely afternoon.
One of the interesting effects was my tinnitus disappeared throughout the whole experience. It was only after I'd come down in the evening I took a toke on a spliff and it kicked back in, as if a switch had been flicked, so that was disappointing. I've been aware that weed seemed to make it worse, but this really hammered that home. If the tinnitus disappears again next time I trip, I'll stop smoking weed and see if it ever returns.
