Trippin' out...

So one of my close friends recently started selling psylocybe cubensis mushrooms... Since then he's gotten me LSD and 2C-B (which I'm saving for summer).

Man has my world been rocked. I trip out every weekend now. Last friday I ate two tabs of Hoffmann's Jubilee LSD. I guess it was supposed to commemorate the first LSD trip in recorded history (bicycle day). From what I've researched online, the hits were anywhere from 150-250mcg. I ate two of them.

The first thing that seemed out of the ordinary was the bitter taste of the blotter. It could have been something else the chemist put on the paper, but it tasted real bitter.

An hour later I was in the woods right as the sun was going down on a hill, splitting a delicious orange with my girlfriend and my best friend (also the dealer). We listened to tree frogs bark for about an hour, then we went for a walk around historic Salem, MA.

We sat on the edge of a 20 foot rock cliff over the ocean, watching the stars and the waves crash onto shore. It was perfect. We sat there and talked for what seemed like hours.

I can't smoke weed right now since I'm on drug testing for school (military school). I decided one hit wouldn't show up on a drug test since I have low body fat and the next potential random test wasn't for two weeks later.

I took one rip of this real headie weed, and held it in for as long as I could handle. Then I let half of the hit out, and breathed in more air. I must have held that hit in for 2 minutes.

I felt the high creeping up on me, and the acid kicked back in hard. For three or four hours the intense visuals that I experienced in the woods had subsided and I was really just feeling the bodily effects.

Crash went my ego. Speech didn't make much sense anymore, and I was having difficulty with social interactions. My mind was blown. I was tripping harder then I was before.

I've eaten LSD at least 20 or 30 times, but never really tripped out this hard. I've been eating mushrooms a lot lately, so the clear trip was nice for a change.

I made a playlist of about 30 songs on my laptop and experienced auditory distortions for the first time. I could actually hear frequencies coming out of the speakers that I normally couldn't hear.

Then I started playing with my zippo. It was as if I had just discovered fire for the first time. For the first time, I saw fire as a fluid.

We ate the hits around 10pm, so we stayed up all night. Right before sunrise, we walked back into the woods and stepped out onto a raised wooden walkway that passes over a salt marsh. the forest was just beginning to wake up, and the calls of birds could be heard tweeting from all directions. I layed down gazing at the clouds, and every once in a while a canadian goose or hawk would appear, gliding across the sky. When I sat back up, the sun had completely risen, and it was like I was seeing color for the first time.

All three of us then went out for breakfast at a bagel shop (we were still tripping after 12 hours!), then went back to my buddy's apartment and crashed.

My friend is now cashing out of the mushroom business (his connection dried up), and it is uncertain when the next time LSD and I will cross paths again. I have a strong desire to culture my own mushrooms, but what I really want to do is synthesize my own LSD. I'm not sure when I'm going to do it, but when I do, my dream is to distrubute it across my country so that anyone who wants to can experience the wonderful things that I had seen and done on that night.

All in all, I'm becomming more and more of a psychonaut. I just finished reading Albert Hoffmann's book: LSD- My problem Child, and I can't get my hands on enough psychadelic literature to keep me busy. I feel like its taking over my life, but at the end of every trip, I've learned something new about myself and the world around me.

When you come across LSD, buy it, and eat it, and appreciate it for what it can teach you. I hear of far too many people who trip out just to see pretty colors and get fucked up. LSD gives you a little bit of time to smell the roses and discover something new about yourself, and the reality you live in (or the percieved reality, I should say).

This weekend I'm going to eat 3.5 grams of my friend's mushrooms (which are the strongest I've ever encountered), and sit in my room with the blacklights on and headphones in my ear and see where it takes me.

It looked exactly like this.

i'm positive it was LSD

 

I know how that goes, brother... I've eaten LSD countless times and I'm very familiar with the trip.

Its a shame that acid is so hard to find nowadays. I can't imagine it being such a horrible problem in the 60's. As Hoffman said, LSD had a lot of promise, but "it was hijacked by the youth movement and made illegal by the very establishment that movement opposed". I just finished his book a couple days ago and its really given me a whole new perspective on the hallucinogenic psychedelics.

I was discussing with the previously mentioned friend about why LSD was illegal in the first place. He holds the belief that most people couldn't handle it and would abuse it. I stand fast with the idea that if everyone was somehow able to abuse it, 12 hours later they would be better people for it. So they might do stupid things while they were under the influence of it, but I still stand by the belief that it builds better people (or rather lets people discover the better person inside of them).

If I can get my hands on some Lysergic Acid Amides and a culture of ergot, who knows what the availability of LSD might be in 5 or 6 years... One of my dreams (which I haven't quite turned into a life goal yet) is for LSD to be just as available as marijuana, however legal or illegal.

But man... After tripping out so frequently the past few months and reading a lot of psychedelic literature... I would give up a body part to have a cup of coffee with Albert Hoffmann.

EDIT: As far as the taste, could it have been the ink from the blotter, or even just the blotter I was tasting? Speaking of shady business, there could have been an adulterant or contaminant in the LSd when it was made.

 

Well, by definition acids should taste sour...

 

You guys do raise a valid point with the taste, but if it was DOB or DOC, the trip would have been noticeably longer. Visuals kicked in about 45 minutes into the trip, and after about 3 or 4 hours (when I referred to sitting on the rock cliff) the active visuals were all but gone and all I noticed was the rainbow halos around lights and 'sharper' distinctions between colors.

If it had been DOx, wouldn't the trip be 12-24 hours long? I fell asleep around 9am the next day, and we ate the tabs a little after 10pm the night before.

Further discussion is encouraged, I'd like to get to the bottom of this.
