First time LSD - Heavy stuff

[VoidTraveler]

Last night I took LSD with a good mate of mine and well, that was an interesting and really heavy experience. I'm having some serious issues wrapping my mind around what just happened. We took about 2.5 stamp each at around 22:00. After about 40 minutes we started noticing the real effects and by the time 1.5 hours were past I was seeing the transition to what seemed like hyperspace appear.

I spent a lot of time in a state of zen. Chilled out, not much thoughts going on just being. It felt really divine, hard to describe. About 2.5 or 3 hours in I started feeling REALLY uncomfortable. Felt a creeping feeling, couldn't find rest and felt extremely confused. Didn't know what was going on, wandered around until the moment I sat down, took a few breathes and calmed down.

Not sure how far in we were I decided it was time to smoke some weed. I prepped my bong with a decent amount of high grade hash. My mate joined in, we both took 2 or 3 really big rips and then all hell broke loose. I lost touch with reality and was struggling to hang on. I remember sitting up, seeing my bong on the floor and wonder what the hell I just smoked. It wasn't DMT, that I knew for sure. I kept wondering why I did that, couldn't remember how I felt normally. That kept on going until the acid withdrew a little bit. Just barely enough to remember that I took something and that in the morning everything would be ok again. I kept reminding myself that and that I should enjoy the colors. I slowly came to the conclusion that I took LSD which you take to induce a dreamstate, laid back and then the LSD charged full force.

A wave of energy engulfed me. It crept up slowly but surely. As I let it engulf me I had my first full fledged breakthrough that came with a full body orgasm. I never felt that serene and scared at the same time.

I'm having difficulty with the integration but I'm assuming that's normal for the first real trip on acid. The trip lasted about 8 hours so going by reported dosages I think we had about 100 ~ 125mcgs but I'm going to have 1 stamp tested to get an insight into how strong the dose was. Any tips that can help with integrating?

Hello VoidTraveler thank you for the read.

So this was your First time Dosing some L? Sounded like you had an intense experience.
And Yes when you take L Once you start feeling the effects like you did, and then smoking some Cannabis, Cannabis really Helps Get Things Going on L and potentiates it tremendously, and for a first time user it will hit you hard.

The first time My Friend went under he took a hit that was dropped with two, he doesn't remember most of it, but most of the night consisted of walking through a Dumping ground to get to this abandoned building, and in the building him and a bunch of others, maybe 7 or 8 got a fire going, this place was so amazing walls all covered with Grafiti art Faces and just a bunch of crazy shit. after leaving the building he spent most of the trip on some road with two of his friends, and every time he saw a car he would jump behind the side and get down b/c of paranoia.

when under it is very easy to loose sense of time and sometimes surroundings, as for the breakthrough idk if you can breakthrough on L, but i could be 100% wrong, you very well could of but idk.

The next morning he actually has hockey try-outs he remembers that morning everything that he did such as get out of bed walking to the stairs, going down them etc etc, after every action, it was then replayed in my head and in third person? so strange and seeing himself shower in third person.

But yes there will be some difficulty integrating, but don't worry just give yourself a few days to clear out, After an L trip my friend always loves when it's time to sleep and wake up the next morning with the best attitude, and just appreciation of everything.

I'm not surprised all hell broke loose when you smoked the hash. Whenever I smoke weed on acid, the trip instantly starts to intensify. Even if it's been way after my peak, after the point where I've even lost my visuals, if I smoke weed, it will most likely bring the trip back on with moderate intensity. Coming up, smoking helps to get the trip to come on as quickly as possible. It may intuitively seem like weed will be just the thing to smooth things out when things get stressful, but when things are uncomfortable cause of the acid (likely in my experience - DMT/aya tends to be much more comfortable for me), and you'd wanna slow things down, you'd probably wanna stay away from the cannabis. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear it was such a trying event for your first time. My first time on acid had it's ups and downs too, but the ups were luckily much higher than the downs. Next time you journey, I would prepare a playlist of some sort of music that you might wanna listen to. In the event that things start to get a bit out of hand, the distraction of music can help keep you focused (ironically) and can induce some pretty cathartic experiences. Sometimes your body and mind might get pretty amped up making it hard to sit still or stay in one place (meanwhile ayahuasca seems to completely immobilize me), so it may be wise to think of a place beforehand (like a park or the woods or somewhere nice and peaceful) where you can go to enjoy and take in the beauty of nature and the outside world. Remember that you need to let the experience take you where it will. If it takes you somewhere uncomfortable, and you observe what's going on, and let the experience run its course, you're much more likely to wind up in a place of comfort or peace than you would in trying to resist. This analogy applies a bit more to DMT in the sudden and sheer force category of action, but when thinking of "going with the flow" you can think of it like a roller coaster ride. When you're scared half to death as the car is creeping its way up the tracks, and as you're going over that first largest hill, you would have about as much of a shot at stopping the roller coaster cart with your mental powers as you would the steam rolling DMT experience. You're just doing yourself a disservice by allocating your energy so pointlessly. Ride it out, and it'll be over soon enough.

Hi Void

Sounds like you had a real polarised experience. It can be that way with L. A lot of people, including myself find it hard to experience it to it fullest if you are indoors, with artificial light and technology around you. Projectors etc can give you great visuals and really suck you in and of course there are certain kinds of music which will transport your mind to far away places. But...

My recommendation is that you try it outdoors, somewhere very very very secluded and take the trips 90 minutes before sundown. So you start coming up while the sun goes down. For me, i had taken it around ten or so times and then i took it at a party next to a river, with a massive bonfire going. The people i was with were all very close friends and we had shotgun bongs going around. I also used a very small amount of MDMA on this occasion as i found it would clear up some of the "short circuits" that were going on on L alone. Also, i was never really into the whole drumming culture but man i can tell you, banging on one of those skin drums out in nature is A+++ for some reason on L. That's just my two cents and i really hope you try it some day.

On a side note...cos its hilariously funny i will tell you what happened to me the next morning. So we were next to the river and just before sunrise there was this mist coming off the water which made it look very warm and inviting. So a friend and i went for a swim...not a good idea cos we froze our asses off. So while the sun came up we sat around the fire with blankets around us. At one point i put my feet towards the fire to warm up and noticed i had leaches on my leg. Basically after inspection we found that both of us had around 20 leaches each dispersed all over our bodies. We gradually plucked them off and each one left a little hole with a couple of drops of blood coming out of it...we looked like we had been stabbed multiple times and were laughing our asses off at each other. Then a family drove past us, they had come to fish i think. The dad slammed on anchors on the dirt road and ran towards us thinking we had been the victims of some horrible event. The look on his face when he saw us laughing our asses off made us laugh even more and he literally ran away!!! Haha i still wonder what he must have though.

Sorry i didn't mean this to be so long.

Peace
