Hello Nexians,
I have enjoyed your community's work from a distance, and I would like to contribute some of my experiences. More than the substances I have used or the things I have seen, the places I have been stand out. Based on the comments, not everybody travels the way I do. I would like the other people who have been to other worlds to feel free talking about it.
I first experienced the shimmering disconnection that I have come to know so well when I tried nitrous oxide for the first time at a party. Everything acquired a certain sharpness, turned a deeper color, and I had a strong feeling that things had gone almost - but not quite - this way before. All evening I felt like an alien gazing out through the eye-parts of a new species. Only the next day did I feel back to normal.
I kept experimenting with dissociatives for years. Many people prefer ketamine, but I have always been most impressed with the rapid onset and recovery of the inhaled anesthetics. Lab-grade diethyl ether is my favorite. The greatest tool of a century of surgeons has taken me on more exotic journeys than all other drugs save the Spice. I have found myself in future hospitals inundated with plague victims. I've watched from the ceiling as my limbs were posed in artistic positions for surgeons' photographs. Quite commonly, I will find myself rising and falling as though on a glass elevator in tune with my level of intoxication. Get off here for the extraterrestrial petting zoo, or hang on for the next stop.
I have to "dive" quite deeply into the ether fugue to achieve these results, so the practice has never been a frequent affair. DMT can provide similar effects with less lead-in, and the visuals are more classically psychedelic. Both Spice and ether have taken me on voyages to other very concretely material places, but only Spice ornaments the familiar world around me in quite such a baroque fashion. It is almost always at higher doses of pure Spice that I break through fully. As all experienced trippers know, there's no predicting what you'll see.
I don't mean to encourage people to follow my lead willy-nilly; I only mean to describe my method for relatively consistent immersion into other realms. It's entirely possible some people won't trip at all, no matter how much you give them. Still others might be afraid if they'd seen the things I have.
Enjoy the ride!
