two hoffmans - a brief report

so this morning i decided to eat 2 hits of LSD. it took about an hour or so for initial effects to begin, but i don't feel like it ever really took off until i vaporized some weed at about 2 hours in. i took a walk in the park and the wildlife was astounding. every one of my senses was crystal clear. i was focusing on a single white butterfly for a few minutes, then i realized there was an entire community of the things. i could literally hear the butterfly's wings flapping. i watched two of them approach each other and swirl around each other in mid-air, just noticing all these insane details that normally go overlooked. animals weren't really running away from me. i was just a couple feet away from all kinds of birds, squirrels, chipmunks. i just felt so connected.
at some points i was getting completely startled by the sounds. a squirrel running by would scare the shit outta me. everything was so LOUD, and moving and alive.

i'm now realizing that this might be better written at another time. so until then....

thanks everyone for the good vibes - you know who you are.

EDIT while i'm not still tripping:
very little visuals. but then at one point i was looking at my white textured wall, and it was moving around, morphing, and breathing - VERY subtly though.
when i went for a walk in the park, my vision was crystal clear. (i had my glasses on too) it was especially sensitive to motion. i was seeing every tree move (kinda looked like breathing or morphing visuals, like the wall in my room, but it wasn't - it was real) it felt like i could feel the wind before it came by looking at the trees. were they creating the wind?! was i?

i sat on the same bench where i had complete-field-of-view-take-over visuals on 19 mg 2ce. no visuals, but i didn't really mind. i saw a white butterfly. i decided to follow it with my eyes for as long as i could - see life from its point of view. well that lasted a long time, i was bored, so i walked up to it. noticed there were at least 5 others of the same type. i was less than a meter away from it, and another flew up to it and they spiraled around each other in the air. by now i was giggling and so excited saying "oh man!" and whatnot.
i was seeing every little chipmunk and bird and bee and bug. often two of each which i interpreted to be lovers. missed my girlfriend a little and wished that she would experience this with me. but i didn't get bummed or anything.
i was getting straight up scared by the sound of tiny chipmunk running behind me. it sounded so LOUD.

i walked around some more, all the while without music because i was listening to the birds. all the animals were letting me get really close to them. except this certain type of bird. that's when i decided i was gonna make birds my new obsession and try to know the names of each species. i actually looked up a few during my trip - the eastern kingbird? was a loud territorial one that didn't let me get close. it was scream at me and go flying so loud and scare the shit outta me.

then i went home to get some food. i had only eaten a banana around noon, and the paper at 12:30. it was now getting close to 3 when my GF gets outta work. so i go home, cook an egg with cheese on half an english muffin and manage to eat it.
then i got online and you can see the results of that in the music thread.

she was late coming home cuz she went shopping, but her phone was dead, so i was getting worried. i was watching the youtube video Xavier Heavyweight that TNS recommended, and tripping the fuck out, probably peaking or close to it...and my 10 year old cousin calls to tell me he has a date on friday with his girlfriend. i hadn't talked to him for awhile and it was really nice of him to call, so after we talked i got emotional and cried. for some reason i often end up with "acid tears" - the stuff makes me emotional.

she came home around 5, i told her i took some LSD after about 5 minutes. she said she could tell, either that or i was really baked. she didn't care. we kinda hung out, i tried to concentrate while she told me about her day. we decided to ride our bikes to a bar and grill.

we went, the bike ride was awesome, the restaurant was awkward as shit. just as expected. i got a steak, spinach and provolone sub with sweet potato fries and ate it all.

it had started to get dark, so the bike ride home was a little extra trippy even though i was coming down. got home, watched some Blue Planet, went for another brief stroll around my apt. complex and it looked so nice and smelled even better.

overall, it was a decently strong trip, but lacked the visuals i normally get, even from an overall weaker acid trip. i suppose that each trip is just different, and maybe i'll get visuals next time. i'm not disappointed at all like i kinda was with one hit though. the head trip was plenty strong.

now that i think about it, my head still feels a bit funny. i called in sick to work the next day, mostly cuz i just wanted to. but i did wake up real sweaty and was just tired overall. had a rough time getting comfortable to fall asleep. and even today (two days after dosing) i still feel a little scatter brained. especially after smoking some weed, i feel pressure/tightness in the back of my head, which i've experienced as an after effect of tripping at least on 2ce. i think i smoke entirely too much weed, but that is another story.

 

sounds like a perfect dose for a day trip. Are there many people in this park and did you listen to any music? If so what?

 

there are always a few people in the park. not many today. i'm sure a couple people walked past me wondering what i was doing.

on these psychedelic walks in the park of mine, i usually listen to my mp3 player, but today i opted for the sounds of nature. the birds seemed so fuckin loud.

but then i did listen to music in other parts of the trip. i learned that "heavyweight" by infected mushroom is a sweet song. and writer dropped some good tunes on me as well - see the music thread.

ahhhh yeah Infected mushroom is dope, that's nice you surrounded yourself with the sounds of nature though and the park is not to crowded.

 

that's why i always get scared in the woods at night. there are always noises, especially in the fall when crisp leaves are everywhere. the woods are always alive, but at night the livliness becomes questionable (to me) due to the lack of visibility.

and i remember trying to start my last trip report while i was still tripping but pretty far down...it' didn't work out too well. it started coming out in poem format i think it's funny...

sounds like the park did you good

 

yea, you guys have heard a lot about this park by now.

i feel like i trip in trip report mode now. i picture myself telling you guys about my trip, while it's still going on. i know it's not really good to do that, but i can't help it

 

squirrels. all we really want is nuts..

 

heavyweight is pimpshit! :sifone:

 

so i was surprised, but not disappointed, at the lack of visuals. there was other stimuli to make up for it.

 

i saw an albino (not totally albino though - so maybe it's not the right word) one at the park today.

crazy how deeply HFs is in my brain. i can't see a squirrel without thinking of orison.

 

maybe you burned up your visual cortex with all the 2c alfabets..
what I mean is. give them a rest you think?

 

haha its funny you mention that cause my last San pedro trip that's exactly how I felt too. There is like a slight sense of obligation almost to report back. Although my last trip (dmt) I can't say writing a trip report was something that came to mind.

 

hehe, I think about many you guy/gals when out and about also...

 

well i've only done 2ce and 2cb, -b only twice, so if anything it was 2ce. but i don't think that's the reason. i mean, maybe it has something to do with it...i dunno

 

Damn right And it's title is very appropriate, when you listen to it during a powerful trip

I'm glad you had a good trip, porky. Can't wait for a more detailed report

 

Heavyweight is an awesome song agreed, the only reason i avoid infected mushroom at times is the singing/rap in some of the songs.

Brings me right back to reality, but that song doesnt have any of it so its on my list Have they made any albums without rap kinda stuff on?

 

they have rapping on some songs now? You should check out the album 'I'm the supervisor' by infected mushroom. The title track which happens to be the first song is kind of meh but the rest of the album is flat out amazing. Some key tracks: "Stretched" "Cities of the Future" "bombat" "Noon" "frog machine" of those only cities of the future has lyrics. Older albums like b.p. Empire and classical mushroom are more traditional psytrance.

 

see EDIT while i'm not still tripping in the first post

 

That's a nice report. I always enjoy your reports, for some reason. I wonder why you had little to no visuals. That's odd. My visuals were INSANE on 3 of the Hofmanns. Still, it sounds like it was a nice trip

 

yea, i wonder the same thing. maybe two hits another time would give me visuals. 4 would probably do it
i did have some CEVs while listening to Xaviers Heavyweight that consisted of complex geometrical patters. and also the morphing and breathing of my wall. but that's it.
what kind of stuff did you see on 3?
