I hadn’t taken LSD for several years and I decided to take it again with some friends on New Years Eve. It was up there with the best of LSD I have ever had with incredibly strong warping in my visual sensory perception and extremely vivid hallucinations. However, it was also extremely very challenging.

Form

LSD was supplied to us in the form of sugar cubes instead of the more common blotting paper. Via this method, a certain dosage of LSD is dropped onto each sugar cube.

Dosage

• We were told that this dosage of LSD was quite strong and that perhaps half a cube would suffice to begin with.
• We decided that we could handle taking a full sugar cube each. We expected the trip to be very strong as a result but we felt that we had created the ideal conditions for our trip.

Ingestion

We placed the sugar cubes under our tongues and let them dissolve completely

Time of Effect

My friends smoked a bit of marijuana to help bring on the acid trip but I went in cleanly, it took a mere 10 minutes for me to feel a very strong and distinct rush coming over my mind and body. I announced this to my friends who felt the same and agreed.

The Trip

• The following trip that occurred was not subtle in the least
• Our entire world was changed right before our eyes. We were at times able to focus and dicuss what we were seeing and this did not alter our perception at all
• We were not conciously using our minds to create the visualizations and experience. We were simply in a world that we had to navigate

Hallucinations

• Not too long after ingestion I felt a strong and rapid change in my senses and I found myself in a completely different world
• All textures on wall, floors, tables, chairs you name it, were leaping off their surfaces, bending and altering in colour
• Colours of surfaces appeared to be made up of many other colors that had been scribbled to create the colour I was looking at
• Our focus at a few stages centred around a middle eastern rug to the side of the dining area
  • It was breathing, the carpet bulging  up to 40cm with each breath
  • Our focus on the rug made us feel like we were in an exotic place and that there were flies in the room dancing above the carpet
  • We spoke about what we were seeing and feeling and it felt like we were experiencing a very similar if not the very same trip
• A corridor of the house had warped dimensions and angles and the length looked a lot longer then it really was
  • The sunlight in the corridor bent and changed, warping the corridor even more like a flash back memory from a movie
  • A friend and I were looking at the cobwebs in the corner of the corridor and as we had a conversation about the cobwebs they started to mutliply, enlarge and pulsate with a threatening colour as we spoke. This was a thrilling but controlled moment
• Cracks in the concrete in the garden became enlarged as I starred at them, like enormous cracks in the earths crust.
  • Ants that ran past the cracks looked enormous and detailed also
• There were many faces popping out and warping inthe wood of the backyard fence
• The garden felt like a paradise filled with exotic butterflies with beautiful personalities
• We pulled cushions from the a lounge inside the house and placed them around the yard and it looked beautiful, like a middle easter outdoor lounge area
  • We wish we had a hookah pipe
• The trip and visuals were so intense that closing our eyes was not an option for the peak that lasted approximately 5 hours

Audio

• The hosts of this acid trip decided to put on a Dub CD that played throughout the house. None of us were great fans of Dub music but were neither put off by it
• We discussed the importance of the Dub CD during the more lucid moments of the trip but more so after the peak
• We were so far gone into the world in our heads during the peak of the trip that at times the sounds of the Dub CD were the only thing sthat kept us remotely in touch with reality so much so that, we almost believed that without the CD the trip could have had many more bad moments
• We therefore referred to the Dub CD as the “lighthouse of the real world”
• Once the peak was over and we were coming down, lieing on couches and the floor with pillows and blankets, the Dub CD soothed us for several hours until we slept

Trip Timeline

Peak (1:00pm-6:00pm)

• The peak of the Acid trip was extremely intense
• Physically, our stomachs are feeling a bit tight like we could vomit at any moment, but we ignore it and accept it as a minor part of the trip
• The only way to deal with the intensity of the trip was to walk up and down the house to change our focus
  • We could not keep still, it’s a little difficult to explain why, but we needed to keep our bodies moving but most of all our minds moving to something different
  • We also felt that we needed a bit of space and the safe environment of the entire house and yard allowed us to get our space while finding eachother quickly and easy for short bursts of conversation
• This intense peak lasted for approximately 5 hours
• As I’d already mentioned under visualizations, the trip was too intense for us to close our eyes
• At one stage I’m not sure why but I realised that I had been crying
  • Some research indicates that this could have been because of sensory overload and crying was a response mechanism of sorts

Post Peak (6:00pm-1:00pm)

• It’s daylight savings so we still have the sun in the sky
• Things are feeling intense but we are still quite high, it’s just far less intense compared to the peak period
• We are in a state that we can take more and take in more of what we are seeing and how we are feeling
• We are happy and satisfied and laying in the backyard. We do this until the sun goes down
• We sit in the lounge for some time before deciding to go for a walk which is quite adventurous down alley ways, past backyards with neighbours celebrating New Years Eve
• We are still hallucinating and seeing things in objects and the night sky is particularly mesmerizing
• Back home we pull the secondary couch (not the nice one) from the house hold out onto the verandah
  • The stars look amazing
  • We can make out pictures from the clouds, sometimes seeing the same thing
  • We can see faces in trees
  • We have music playing through the house and the front door wide open
  • We have put on Fireworks Glasses to enhance our magical visualizations
  • We have beers and other drinks to usher the New Year and we feel perfectly safe on our couch as people walk by wishing us a Happy New Year
  • We are out there for a few hours before we decide to head back inside

Coming Down (1:00pm until sleep)

• After a few hours sitting on the front porch of the house, we move inside exhausted
• The lights are off, we have music playing, cushions, blankets
• The christmas tree has us mesmerized with our fireworks glasses on
• We are having quite nice conversations
• I decide that perhaps a little bit of weed may help me edge closer to sleep
  • I realise it’s a good idea on the floor and I’m feeling very very nice
  • The rest of the group follows suit and agree that it is a very nice feeling
• The Dub CD is put back on, we are all very comfortable and satisfied and with the CD on repeat we can’t help but think and talk about how it is the best CD that has ever been made
