Goooood heavens!
Its now 15 hours after LSD ingestion, there has been 5 hours of sleep within that time.
We decided to take a moderate dose of MDMA (70mg ; 130mg) and 1:15 hours into that we took a moderate dose (120mcg ; 60mcg) of LSD. All night it kicked our asses to hand them back to us in the early morning hours.
(..few hour break..)
This was really intense. Somehow the MDMA acted as an anchor amidst the turmoil of LSD that kept us grounded in a way, which resulted in the LSD having a more profound impact. It is hard to describe but perhaps it is fitting to say that the enhanced openness of MDMA was taken into the LSD experience.
To pin a label on it, my friend and I agree it was as if the LSD were 2.5x more potent, but in a way that didn't allow us to be as volatile as the LSD experience itself - the MDMA component kept us in the then-and-there preventing LSD dreamlikeness from taking over.
The MDMA carried over into the experience by also creating a background of good feelings one could focus on in the calmer moments, and which the LSD could blow up to dazzling heights. There were moments that I was raptured with the most profound joy ever.
However pleasure was beside the point. Above all this session was governed by INTENSITY.
MDMA went in at 21:50h, LSD went in 23:05h.
The ascent of the LSD completely obliterated the peak of the MDMA and unleashed the thunder and awe upon us.
The ascent of the LSD to full intensity lasted between 2 and 2.5 hours for both of us.
I recall that I tried to feel my body, assess what it was I felt. It was somehow as if my body itself was hallucinating: I felt a whole cosmos within my flesh. All sorts of things were within me and I felt this with my flesh. A most remarkable synesthesia.
We discovered that putting out the light, creating darkness, provided a haven of relief from sensory overload. We alternated this with light and discovered that we both were irritated somewhat by the normally unnoticable throb of the AC grid, at 50 vibrations a second. Candles provided relief from the irritant synthetic light, and we put a tray of tea-candles on the table, which was like a (safe) campfire on the table.
These modest doses of MDMA and LSD combined opened up a world of intensity. One that has a unique nature of itself. Though the effects ofcourse are additive, the experience is highly synergistic. My friend had a phase of considerable trouble in coming to terms with the effect, himself and his life. This came to an early resolve.
Somehow the flexibility of LSD was combined with the focus on healing that MDMA provides, resulting in an intense but profoundly healing experience.
But - do not be fooled that a candyflip will be all rosy because MDMA is involved. Nothing of the sort, in fact the MDMA makes the trip harder, both in intensity as difficulty, because it grounds you in the middle of a raging trip.
Before the trip I decided to take 6mg bromazepam (equivalent of 10mg diazepam or 0.5mg xanax) at the time of MDMA dosing for added security. I thank my lucky stars I did so It did nothing to diminish the profundity or intensity of the experience, but it probably helped alleviate the initial alarm I get when ascending on strong doses of entheogens. There ofcourse were moments if intense concern of all sorts, but fear did not spin out of control as to become the vortex of a panic attack. In these strengths a benzodiazepine was useful and led to a more productive, rewarding session, because it prevented a senseless state of anxiety - so material actually got worked with. The equivalent of Valium 10 at these strengths would be good to take the edge off, but definitely go for Valium 20 or equivalent for any emergency braking there may be.
This was our first candyflip in the proper way, and we both are very satisfied with the results. My friend has become a bit disenchanted by MDMA, feeling he has learned the lessons MDMA can teach him, but in the candyflip combi it for him to proved highly rewarding. It was profoundly entheogenic and touched the essence of Self.
We utilized some nitrous oxide which gave staggering potentiation and a considerable afterglow. We had to take this one breath at a time with the other tripsitting. One would take an inhalation, close his eyes and completely lose it for 5-10 minutes, then the other took his turn, and so back and forth. Incredible. Each had just one charger in his bag and we had to take it one inhalation at a time. I have hallucinated in places that I didn't knew even existed. No rainbow colors, just psychological onslaught.
At the early morning hours, things were as they should be: still quite high but sober in comparison with the tempest that had raged before, psychologically completely ravaged, but feeling right about the whole endeavor. We had found total peace with the trip and ourselves. I prepared us both one glass of Vodka Orange to finish us off and let fatigue take over from there.
We both completely had our fill for a long time to come, but we definitely want to re-enter. Next time however we'll settle for a regimen in the order of 100mg MDMA, then wait 1 hour, then add 50mg MDMA + 40-80mcg LSD.
It was downright incredible. Thanks to all for your guidance through your poll votes and advice, and especially to OMR for successfully lobbying for the winning dose regimen & PM goodness 
It was truly blessed.
