Hello everyone. Before I begin rambling on and on about nonsense I would like to give you readers a type of warning. This may be semi-incoherent and feel like it's jumping all over the place, also it may be quite long. Anyways, here is how our trip was:
It all started out yesterday, friday october 3 2008. About a month ago I acquired some acid and have been sitting on it for some time. My friends and I have been planning a group trip for quite some time now and decided that this friday would be the absolute most perfect night to trip. So all throughout the week Me and my friend B were constantly talking about how amazing this trip was going to be. I decided to do everything I possibly could to prepare for this trip. Not only was I mentally preparing myself for the experience (I have tripped about 6 or 7 times before so I know what to expect, although all of those trips were by myself), but I was also trying to mold this trip so it would be a good experience for everybody. I rented some movies from Blockbuster: IMAX Deep Sea, Speed Racer (the movie), and this movie about traveling gypsies(though we did not watch the gygpsy one). I really sort of picked these movies randomly. I saw IMAX Deep Sea and I was like "This would be excellent for tripping" and I had heard Speed Racer was a feast for the eyes and I figured it too would be good for the trip. Fast forward to Friday. Me and all of my friends go to school, we're seniors this year, and go to our classes and do all of our activities that we have to do during school. Whenever we meet we talk about how cool its gonna be tonight. So a few hours after school Me and my friend B and my friend M and J all met up at M's house and went to the park to play frisbee. This is about at 5 30ish. We go to this very nice park and play frisbee for a little over an hour or so, just having fun. And then our very good friend Z shows up right as my friend M is leaving to buy his friend some cigarettes (M is 18 and thus buys cigarettes for his very good friend who is 17). So the four of us, Me, B, Z, and J continue to play frisbee in this field. (Note: during this time B and M were talking about how maybe tonight wasn't the best night to trip acid [we had the opportunity go to a party] and that maybe we should wait until next friday. I persisted because I wanted to trip very badly and made the argument that we should trip tonight. We left the park with the idea that if we would just see how things went, play it by ear so to speak, and then decide what we want to do) Eventually after a while we were getting a little tired and slightly paranoid because this cop had driven by the park twice, and we had some weed on us. So we all decided to meet M back at his house. At M's house we sit in his basement talking and M's mom tells us that she would like it if we ordered food from Jose Pepper's for ourselves for the night. So we decide what we want and call and place a carry-out order. It was a lot of food lol. Anyways we chill and play Super Smash Bros. Brawl for a bit before we leave to get the food. At about 7 30ish we left to go get the food from Jose Peppers. Me and B had decided that we were going to take the acid when we got back from getting our food and M was apprehensive and said he probably wasn't going to trip, and we were cool with it. I mean if you're not feeling it you're not feeling it ya know? So once we get the food our friend M had told us that glowsticks would be an excellent addition to our trip. Honestly at the time none of us really cared about the glow sticks but M persisted that we go to wal-mart and buy them. So we went to Hobby Lobby because it was closer and wandered around there for 5 or so minutes only to find out they had no glow sticks. So then we went to Wal-Mark and M and Z go in and buy a shitload of glowsticks. The glowsticks have been acquired, it is now time to return to M's house and feast (none of us had really eaten since about 12 30 that day) So as soon as we get to M's house we decide to eat a little and then cut up the acid (you see the acid was dropped onto tiny strips of paper towel, if it wasn't from a reliable source I would've thought it may be bunk). We had 8 hits total ( B and his gf had each taken 1 at the park the previous friday, but B said it was very very weak and aside from slightly altered thinking it wasn't much). So me and B each ingest 3 hits while M only does 1 because he is apprehensive about it (he's had some bad trips and I think goes through some mental/emotional problems from time to time, so 1 hit was good for him). Now there is only 1 hit left, and since I believed what B had said about it being weak we decided it wasn't worth saving 1 hit and B and I each took half of it. Shortly thereafter we had finished our food and made a clearing in part of the basement to sit and play music and hang out, aside from the main TV room of the basement. So M, B, and Z all start playing music (all of them are very good musicians). M was on guitar, B was on keyboard, and Z was on drums. They start playing this beautiful music while Me and J sit there sort of mesmerized and just enjoying the vibe that's going on. Eventually B started singing and I joined in because I didn't want to feel left out of the moment and I figured since I didn't have an instrument I should use my voice as it is a type of natural instrument. So we are all sitting down in the basement playing this beautiful music and M's parents come downstairs just to sit with us and tell us how good the music sounds!!(It was a sense of approval from the parental authority figures which is just excellent). During this time those of us who have taken the acid are pretty sure it's working (we are feeling that tripping feeling but not quite sure how the feeling will grow). Personally, at that point, after M's parents had gone upstairs I was honestly feeling disappointed because it had been roughly an hour since we took the acid and I wasn't getting any visuals of much of a trip ( I know, I know, that's not what tripping is all about, but still ya gotta admit it's very fun and exciting). But B talked with me and convinced me that this night had been so perfect so far it didn't even matter if the acid kicked in any harder because everything was going so excellently. I agreed. At this point we decided to fiddle around with the strobe light I had brung and the glowsticks we bought. We soon found out that both were incredibly fun even for the sober people there, plus at this point we weren't really tripping hard at all yet. We layed on the floor of this room with the strobe light going and we stared at this fan that was on on the ceiling. The fan is moving around and around but by using the strobe light (which Z so excellently did, we called him the time master) Z was able to make it seem as if the fan was standing perfectly still. It was very odd and honestly kind of felt like time stood still. By fiddling with it he could make the fan spin backwards or forwards. This strobe light I believe was an integral part of trip. By being able to experience timelessness via the strobe light and fan, I learned to live in the moment and to enjoy whatever happens and whatever comes. It was profound. At about 11 o'clock we decided to smoke some weed between the 5 of us. The funny thing is it took us like 20 minutes to actually get outside and smoke because we just kept talking about things and we would lose track of what we were doing. Eventually though we made it outside to smoke. So we're sitting outside, we have 4 packed pipes of weed between five people and only 2 lighters lol. Needless to say we couldn't figure out the best way to pass the lighters so that we could smoke. Eventually we decided to place lighters in the middle of the circle and take them as we needed them, though this idea was met with resistance at first among the group (it was my idea), and honestly I don't know if we ever actually did that, but we figured out way to smoke all the weed. As we are out there talking, and sitting, and smoking in M's backyard a loud Harley Davidson motorcycle drives by and I am enveloped in the sound of the engine. I decide that that noise distinctly reminds me of Vanilla Ice cream (my first ever real sense of synasthesia in all my times of tripping). At this point I can tell the acid is kicking in and I am beyond happy. We finish our bowls eventually and decide to go back inside because M's friend from earlier (the one whom he bought the cigarettes for) was coming over, let's refer to him as "S". S's mom had expressed that she wanted to call M's mom (but they were sleeping). She's kind of like that and likes to check up on things which is really annoying but I guess I understand where she's coming from because my mom is the same way sometimes, but not at like 11 30 at night lol. Anyways so we go inside and go downstairs. We start just chillin and walking around waiting for S to get there and waiting for a phone call on the home phone for M's mom. I was partially freaking out at this point because I thought that M's mom would come down stairs and talk to us and notice we had shoes on and somehow infer we were tripping or fucked up generally. So then I just started kind of shouting, "Everyone take your shoes off!! Now!" My friend B started laughing and then I explained why I thought that because of M's mom and he agreed it was a good idea and took his shoes off. S came over and there was no parent to parent phone call which was good. Now to describe S. He is a very cool dude and has tripped Acid before so he knew what we were going through. He is a sort of loving bear type figure, an Ursa Major if you will. Also M's other friend Jake was coming over and arrived shortly after S. Now, Jake, he's a cool kid and I like him, but he sort of has a type of negative worldview on things (though he is quite funny). Anyways so we are all chilling in this room we had cleared out to play music and hang out in. At this point we are messing around with the strobe light and glowsticks again. We're just talking and chilling and having some very very cool discussion on life and existence. Also, at this point J was getting very very sleepy and decided to get a pillow and blanket and go to sleep on the couch. I don't blame him, he was high and he had 2 girls he was having sex with the next day, so he needed his energy. I'm going to be honest here, at this point (hell it was probably sooner) I don't really remember exactly what happened and when it did. So from now on I will continue to tell the story chronologically, although some details may not be 100% accurate. At this point S and Jake really wanted smoke because they were both completely sober. So M, B, Jake, and S go into the basement bathroom and smoke some weed. So I decided to keep J company because he was going to have some food before he went to sleep (he sort of woke up/never really fell asleep and was really hungry). So I helped him get some food from our leftover Jose Pepper's mexican food. We couldn't microwave it because it was in aluminum foil containers so we needed to put it on a plate. I interrupted my friends' smoking session and said, "Where are your plates?" or something to that effect. I think my friends were slightly ticked off but it was just really hilarious so M told me they were in the cabinet behind the bar. I got J a plate and he put a burrito on it, microwaved it, at half of it, got on the couch, and then fell asleep. All this time I'm just sitting on the other couch next to the loveseat J is on staring at the blank TV screen (big screen TV, nice) thinking about stuff. Shortly after my friends are done with their smoke session and we decide to put in Imax Deep Sea. I think this is somewhere between 1 30 and 2 00 am. We put it in and Me and B are overwhelmed by how amazingly beautiful it is. Not only are these creatures of the deep incredibly complex and bizarre, we were seeing fractals EVERYWHERE!!! It seemed as if all of nature organized itself around fractals! This was amazing because on the screen there were some real life fractal examples plus we were "hallucinating?" fractals everywhere else on the screen, in fact at times I completely forgot I was watching an underwater landscape. At this point B made a very good statement that seemed to fit, "Speaking of fractals, all life". This phrase at that time seemed incredibly profound (and still does). It was marvelous how fractals were seemingly everywhere in nature and the universe. This sort of complemented another profound phrase uttered earlier by B at the beginning of the trip, "All the beauty in none of the chaos". It almost doesn't make sense but there is such a deeper meaning and profound truth to it. It was marvelous. Later on after IMAX Deep Sea (or maybe during I don't remember) M, S, and Jake all left to go outside and smoke a cigarette. Both Z and J had fallen asleep and it was just Me and B watching the movie and talking about shit. We had amazing conversations and touched on some profound truths, we connected with each other and we knew exactly what each other was talking about even if we could not explain it. I don't remember everything we talked about (it was too much to attempt to remember). It would be feeble to try and talk about what we talked about, but maybe what we talked about isn't so important (even though i believe it was) but rather the connection we felt and wavelength at which we were operating was one and the same. It was a very cool feeling. So then they get back from their cigs and we put on Speed Racer. Now I had no idea what to expect other than lots of colors, and that's exactly what I got. The movie itself was beautiful for the eyes and all of the characters seemed to signify cultural archetypes which was also very cool. During the course of the movie I realized that the storyline was the least important part of it, and that everything else about the movie Speed Racer was very important and interesting. In this sense I believe it is an absolutely excellent movie. Also, during to course of the movie, Me and S decide to go to the bathroom and smoke a bowl to ourselves and talk and chat. S is a pretty cool dude and we had a very nice conversation although I remember little of it. But, again, during said conversation I felt a really strong and cool connection with him and it was very pleasant. Then again me and him are kind of similar, we even look a hell of a lot alike which is wierd. Anyways we finish our bowl and go back to the movie. After a long time of watching the movie while talking about it it finally ended, though before it ended B and M had a bowl in the bathroom and I imagine they experienced the kind of connection that Me and S and me and B and all of us together experienced. After the movie it was about 4 30 am. S had gone to sleep and Me, B, and M were very hungry. We go over to the bar area where all of our food is (we put it in the fridge to save it for later, fuck yes!). We get out all of our leftover mexican dishes and there were three tortillas left. We just reached in and grabbed the food with our hands and put it on the tortillas. It felt so primal and right to handle food that way with your hands instead of utensils. We had our snack and me and B had a fruit juice drink which we decided had a very feminine quality to it. At this point Me, M, and B smoked a bowl in the bathroom before bed. It was cool and enjoyable, since we were coming down we were able to reflect on our trip and we all agreed it was pretty fucking excellent, all three of us felt a connection and a bond I believe. At this point Me, M, and B retired to the space we had cleared earlier for music and hanging out. This is where we would sleep because because where everyone else was sleeping was feeling cramped and stuff, plus since the three of us had tripped we figured we should stick together obviously and drift to sleep. It was about 5 00 am right here. We all talked for a bit and M was the first one asleep. B and I watched videos about the golden ratio on youtube (very, very interesting and myserious stuff). Eventually we decided to turn off the laptop and attempt to sleep. We realized this was futile and continued to talk a bit and stuff and we noticed now that we were laying in darkness and no one was talking we were getting auditory hallucinations and things. At this point B about fell asleep. I was the last one up and had a semi-difficult time going to sleep. I kept tossing and turning cause I was on the floor and not very comfortable. Then my friend Z's phone started making noise because it was his alarm to get up. You see Z had cross-country practice and had to get up early. Well, Z decided that since he was technically injured and couldn't compete that he had better just stay and not go to practice (or was it a meet i forgot). Well, his phone still kept sounding the alarm a lot. I honestly have no idea if I fell asleep or not. Eventually I got up with everyone else and while tired felt oddly refreshed even though I only got maybe 3 hours of sleep MAX. By now we weren't really tripping anymore but we had (at least me and B for sure, M was still asleep) an amazing afterglow. I just felt as if I was glowing from the experience.At this point M's mom had gone to the donut shop to pick us all up some donuts for breakfast (she is very nice and thoughtful like that). We ate donuts and talked with her and it was kind of wierd because there was connection I felt with her that I've never really felt before.The same thing with M's dad (And my parents once I got home too). It feels as if I am connected to everyone and everything. After a while S, and Jake and J ended up leaving. M, B, and I then went to go play music for fun. This time it was different though. It was B on the drums, me on the guitar, and Z on the piano. Now, B isn't bad on drums at all but he's not as good as Z is. And Z was playing piano and he's very good at it. I was playing guitar and I took lessons over the summer but dropped it sort of. I ended up just playing these two chords over and over and we had an excellent jam session just like the one that started the trip. It was the perfect way to end it. At this point we proceded to clean up the basement and get everything in order back to the way it was. And by the time we were done cleaning up it looked pretty damn good. Now we gathered our things and departed from M's house and I drove B home. Again during the car ride we had an amazing conversation. Only this time, because we were sober I can remember what we talked about. We talked about religion and how Christianity is really so similar to those eastern religions and how the mystery of God is just depicted in various ways throughout each culture. Also during the car ride (and the night) we talked about languages and how each culture develops language to express ideas, but it seems as if some cultures and languages are better at expressing certain ideas better than other language. For example we agree that Spanish was a very sensual and passionate language, as is the whole Hispanic culture in general. None of us are really fluent in Spanish (though I like to think I'm pretty close) and none of us are of hispanic descent at all that we know of. We've all taken Spanish courses though and are able to talk about it better than we would be able to other languages (though I postulated that French is best at expressing mystery, and Italian is best at expressing passionate feelings [similar to spanish but with less emphasis on love and romance] and more feelings such as Anger or the feeling you get when you win something). Anyways I could keep rambling on and on and on. Now that I'm done describing the events of the trip I want to talk about all the ideas and things we talked about, but I guess that is best saved for various topics in the psychadelic experience forum. If you've made it this far congratulations. This is the end of my post. I thank you thoroughly for reading it. If you have any similar experiences or comments please share them. I would love to hear what you all have to say. -------------------- All drugs should be legal

I think the best parts of my group trips have been connecting deeply with my friends.
 You write pretty well, that was easy to read.

Thank you, I honestly feel like the acid has worked in a way that helps me to better articulate my thoughts. I'm no longer really fumbling over what to say.
