My first strong LSD experience

Location: Auckland city, New Zealand. Date: 11 Feburary, 2006. Dosage: 1 tab of "Leonardo" type, taken in halves. Duration: 10 hours to baseline from ingestion point. Was warned these were VERY powerful tabs, so opted to have in halves. Oh am I glad I did that .
Just to clarify, this was NOT my first time (had used 3 times before), but this time blew all the others clean away, despite it only being 1 tab.
Sorry, this is long, but hopefully a good read.
10:30pm: Arrived at dance event 10:45pm: Took half of tab, placed under tounge for two minutes to absorb. Distinct metallic bitter taste noted. 11:45pm: Still no change noted. Took second half as before. 12:15am: Colors seemed a little brighter. Muscle aches. Not sure from dancing or LSD effect at this stage. 12:30am: Notice suddenly - "Holy fuck i'm tripping!". The ground in front of me is stone cobbles, and there are circular patterns where the cobbles are lifting out of the ground, moving to the next cobble location, and dropping back down - continuously, and subtly changing their color as they do so. I have the feeling you get on a roller-coaster just as you go over the ledge before a HUGE drop. I'm not scared. Just a feeling of powerful things to come. It will get much stronger. 1:30am?: I was right on the previous point. The "?" denotes that past this point I experience very strong time compression and dilation effects. One second seems to last an eternity yet 5 minutes can pass instantaneously. I look at my watch and the numbers continously change, never settling on a particular value, going back and forward in time. For those of you who have seen Donnie Darko, you'll know what I mean. Through windows on buildings, blue wormholes open up, and I see the decay, and rebuilding of buildings, towns etc, and the eventual scorching of the land by our sun turning into a red giant, embedded in the walls of the consatntly changing walls of the spacetime fracture. Everywhere. But each one is different. Different outcomes. 2:00am? Being even outside the club is now too much for me. We head off to a flat of a friend to do some Nitrous. Well sort of, it took quite a while - according to the people I was with. I touch the ground to see if it actually exists. I feel like a childish explorer on a world far away. 2:15am?: The people I am with do not allow me to take a double (to which I am thankful for ) . I enhale, then exhale, inhale, exhale (into the balloon) and then.. WOW !!!!!
I witness the universe explode from around me, I as a central point, like the "Big Bang". The world fades/brightens? to a PURE white, like pure energy. I become seperated from my body, looking down from above. I am a frail lifeform, being tossed by waves, ripples in spacetime. This scene then undergoes "cheese-grater" effect, and the scraps lie at the bottom of my "vision". A invisible hand/force scrunches the scraps up into a ball, then the ball explodes, and everything turns to black abruptly. My brain had rebooted. Sensory systems begin to return, spiraling back up, like reverse bathtub drain vortexes, upside down tornadoes in the mind. I sit up and grin, like a Cheshire Cat. Someone (not sure who) said to me "Best NOS ever?" with a knowing smile and I just grin more, unable to speak still.
I might continue this later, but simply writing this out has left me feeling pretty drained haha . We'll call it Part One.

Nice report!

Yes that is the bright magic feeling coined into some easily understandable words for those who have yet to trip.

Thanks man 
Part 2:
2:30am? We do another balloon, outside, on a balcony (don't worry, it was quite safe ) . Again, I am propelled out of this world, but this time is MUCH stranger. The N20 acting as a mental catalyst, the bars in front of me (the balcony safety bars) join with my body, I flow through them, and they through me. It occours to me that if I go through them i'll fall, but I realise the bars are my friend, designed for safety, and will hold my hand and prevent me from falling. I can no longer see, only energy. Reality comes back in strobes, bursts. I remember a childhood book, The Island Where The Wild Things Are. A lion looks at me with malicious intent through the bars, eyes glowing crimson in the night. It's okay though, it's like a zoo, the animals can't get through. This begins to vibrate. I fall backward, and end up leaning on the shoulder of a buddy lying down. I melt into the floor and his shoulder. More bright flashes.
I come to and i'm grabbing the metal bars of the balcony with clenched fists, making a utterly inhuman growling sound . This shocks me enough that I sit there speechless for a few seconds and try to pull myself together. It wasn't unpleasant at all, just surprising.
We head back to the club after this. I feel a little sobered up, but still very much VERY TWISTED. Just not as crazy as before.
3:00?am: Ownwards from here, I am definitely coming down. Mostly just visual effect left (which are still very powerful), though not as much "mindfuck". The ground is a constantly changing mirrored mosaic, with holes appearing in the ground to who-knows-where, ragged holes. I dodge them carefully to the bemused looks of onlookers . I try out dancing and find it to be possible again (it certainly wasn't before) and have quite a good time with this, the music being transformed into visual and touch feedback (strong synthesisia). Wow. Feels great . Even though there are 2 or 3 copies of each person on the dancefloor, colored tubes of light coil around me - I have to be careful to not interfere with anyone else accidentally.
At this point i'll terminate the report at the club scene as it's much more of the same, with no really outstanding features.
I don't go to sleep, but stay awake and watch the sun rise at a beach (~6-7am), still slightly tripping. It was BEAUTIFUL, and I cry tears of amazement and gratitude at the priviledge of experiencing this. I run through my hands through the sand in wonderment, each grain special it's own way, falling as an individual but hitting the beach and becoming ONE (large thing of sand). Even after I return to "baseline", the day seems brighter, everything is just great. I feel a little frittered, like i've done a very difficult yet fulfilling exam,and aced it. I have great appreciation for birdsong . The next day is just as good, after a wonderful sleep .

It's great stories like this that make me want to try LSD, that sounded like an awesome time!
-------------------- "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." -- Abraham Lincoln, 1840.

I dunno about the metallic bitter taste, makes me think an RC might have been present, but it sounds like LSD. especially if you only ate 1 tab.

I've also heard people say that good hits of acid tend to have a slightly bitter/metallic taste as well... whether it's actual acid they're consuming I have no idea, but well, just what I've heard... Amazing trip by the way...

As long as its not so bitter, you want to spit it. A little bitter is just fine, and metallic is right on. Acid no doubt. Can we please leave the RC discussion to when people seriously complain about the bitter taste of their blotter?
-------------------- No ONE wants to know the ultimate TRUTH, as soon as YOU find IT out, YOU want to forget IT. You are everything's way of feeling itself. Happy Schwag, everygodly!
