One of my best friends got married this weekend and to celebrate me and my other best friend decided to take a little lucy for the evening's celebrations. We decided on taking only 1/3 of a hit because of the crazy strength of these hits lately, and because we would be with dozens of our sober friends who don't know about our substance use and didn't want to be too psyche'd out to function in a social manner on this occasion. We took the 1/3 hit, chased it with a bump of K, and got in the car to drive to a restaurant to meet everyone else. The drive was only about 15 minutes so I wasn't too nervous about this, the K would hit me before the acid did I figured, and driving on (low dose) K is fine. About 5 seconds after the blotter went down my throat (I never hold sublingually anymore, I find it does not speed up absorption time at all unless your stomach is full of food) I got a little head rush, a little warm, a little tummy presence, yup, this is LSD. 10 minutes into the car ride the K was hitting me nicely but it was definitely not just K, there was a widening, a slowing, a 'majestifying' of everything, I was beginning to feel strange sensations in my jaws, that telltale "taste" of LSD suddenly entered my awareness, and a grin began to naturally assume on my face. At the restaurant the smells and sights were too much . . . I had barely any appetite. I was beginning to feel courses of serotonergic energy throughout my body. I needed to close my eyes ocassionally and breathe. My heart was pounding, this was it, this was Lucy beginning to entangle her holy self in my everything. We finished at the restaurant, I dropped the bride and groom home to their wedding night, and me and my friend went to my place to drop the car off, grab some supplies and head out into the dark night to ride this trip and discuss the events of the weekend. As we sat in a field the lucy began to truly peak (3 hours after ingestion) and we both did a nice line of K (our first time mixing) and sparked a bowl. Our awareness became fluid, wide, deep. It coursed over the topology of meaning, rivulets draining into normally inaccessible corners of our minds, liquid witness spilling into the limitless basin of the cosmos. We discussed highly personal things and wondered whether our conversations would even make sense to a sober person, I wished we could have recorded it for posterity to check, but that is just a minor point of interest, and in fact it would not make a difference really whether or not a sober person could understand (though I suspect they could if they were 'on the level'), as we could understand, and that was the whole point. We got up to change locations, sitting now on rocks overlooking a babbling brook in the moonlight, the clearing of trees above the brook revealing a tapestry of jewels shimmering and winking on a velvet sheet of austere fabric. Lucy was really revving up at this point, and we began to notice powerful visuals, full fields of color and spectrums of meaning and sense data shone through everything and overlaced everything and everything was it. We both gasped at the strength of this sliver of paper we had eaten, and I pointed out that this was the first time either of us had ever tripped on LSD in the dark, and that I suspected that during daytime tripping much attention goes to analysis of sensorial data, while at night attention is much more aligned internally with the trip, as there is not much going on 'out there'. I stared into the shadows and reflections of the brook below us, seeing the stars and treetops reflected in it, and small fish swimming silently under it, and a fantastic thing happened, I experienced a long moment of profound vertigo, as the infinite depth of the cosmos above reflected into the infinite depth of the water below, and as infinity crashed into infinity and each fell into itself, the entire visual field suddenly "fell into me", by which I mean I experienced myself RUSHING into what I was in, my being hurled into the reality it was already in, hurtling at the speed of light to right where I was, through a dimension not accessible in normal vision or any other sense or mode of thought. My mouth fell open, I had never experienced anything like this before on any molecule, and I closed my eyes in humility, knowing I was well deep within the womb of lucy, utterly at her mercy, heaven and hell an eyeblink away. Closed eyelids provided fantastic scenes, at first just squiggles and swirls, then more shapes, then objects and things I cannot name, then entire scenes and events, and finally what I can only describe as entire universi began effortlessly filling my vision. We would open our eyes and look at each other and laugh. "I'm not even going to try to explain what just happened" I said, my friend just shook his head, he was there too. This was the real deal . . . what is this molecule, how can it do this. I closed my eyes again, reality inverted, my mind on the outside and everything outside on the inside . . . the inversion was just as real as the original, was it even an inversion? It was a cosmological phenomenon, spacetime, insofar as our thoughts and beingness reside in it, formed a mathematical tear in a single point at the center of everything, and flipped inside out, and the underside of reality danced around us, and us within it. Inverse reality, the inside-out of everything, presented itself to us, a familiar space from our lysergic meanderings, and we were hushed again and again by the ecstatic undulations of reality/unreality. Rain began to fall suddenly, forming thousands of expanding waves in the water, our awareness linked to the expanding circumference of them, widening us in all ways as they fell. I looked up and saw a clear sky nevertheless, and understood it meant it would pass soon and was just the periphery of some storm. It ended a minute later, though we were well shielded by the thick foliage above us. The acoustic shimmer of rain on leaves, falling water in a forest, filled everything with a droning lullaby of fertility. With that we made our way home and slept. A most priceless treasure, nothing more need be said.
thats some raw knowledge there, i think that definitely does happen now that you bring it up sounds like you had a wonderful time atriot:
Night tripping is soo nice! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It sounds like you had a really awesome experience. Great TR.
Interesting, only 1/3 of a hit? Was there are lot synergy between the L and the K? Sounds as if you had a very enjoyable time. I wish there were someplace like your river within a close distance to me. From the pics you've posted it looks like a beautiful spot for such journey's. Good times, Good times.
the synergy between L and K was unbelievable . . . no wonder Leary ranked them together . . . unbelievable. i regretted smoking the pot, it made us forget what we were saying very often and did not add anything to the trip really, that the K did not add in a better way already. next time i will save the pot for the comedown and just do a k hole rail during the L peak. ya just a 1/3 lol . . . i keep doing less and less and getting further and further lol. extrapolate this pattern and my next trip report will be on 0 blotters and will be +++++ but i wanna munch on a couple of these babies.
I been saying that you don't need too blow the top of your head off every time to get good things from Lucy. A couple of those would definitly be a "sit the fuck down" experience, at least for the first few hours.
Wow. Amazing description - I felt like I was there with you! Happy for you that you got to experience this. I've never done K, but I have done lots of Lucy (we get along great), and someone having a good trip always makes me smile.
are these the buddha blotters? sounds like a hell of a trip. i'm very skeptical that you can feel LSD 5 seconds after swallowing a blotter though. maybe i'm not a hardhead after all, and you're a lightweight lucky
I am most definitely a lightweight, with all substances, except some phens. And I am hyper aware of any chemical changes in my system, and can regularly feel LSD seconds after it touches my insides. Same with virtually every powder I've ever eaten, 4-aco-dmt, MDMA, whatever. It may be related to my rather enthusiastic IBS; very rapid absorption into bloodstream, and once it's in there, it's about a one second journey to your synapses.
I am much the same way. Hell I can smoke pot seeds and feel it I am especially hyper-sensitive to any type of stimulant effects. A cup of coffee at 6am will still be with me at midnight. The half hit of blotter I took yesterday at 11:30am kept me awake until 4am. I fucking hate that. Same with cactus potion, very aware of the stimulant effect of mescaline and keeps me awake for 18 hours or more. Mr. Writer are you also sensitive to non-drug induced changes in your state of conciousness? I often can just lay in bed and start to get awesome hypnagogic visions and altered awareness. I also can "feel" LSD within minutes of ingestion. Like an initial spark that is felt within minutes but diminishes and then within 20-30 minutes I start to really feel it coming up. Placebo effect? maybe, but still a noticable effect none the less. Pork your just a bleeding hardhead
Yes any change in consciousness or body state, substance-wise it's even easier because you can connect the very subtle change to the fact that you just took something shortly before. I really do think it's tied to my IBS though, I can often detect oral onset before nasal onset. Things in my belly move fast. With stimulant effects, I have the interesting ability to fall asleep in their wake, I can relax myself enough to enter a dream state while still quite stimmed. obviously to a point.
wow mr. writer, that really is quite an awesome description. i've had those enlightening moments on cid, but i would have a difficult time describing them in that kind of detail. i'm happy for you, and jealous at the same time tho cuz i haven't been able to find it in soooooooooo long. but i'm glad people are still appreciating it's potential.
i don't think i'm a hardhead cuz it takes me at least a half hour to feel LSD. it's quite normal in fact
You might have a hard head but you have a soft heart. It could be placebo effect for me. One thing sort of related is the last time I cut up and prepped a bunch of San Pedro to make a brew, when I was done I felt like I was under the influence a bit. Could I have actually absorbed enough alkaloids through my skin to feel it? I tend to doubt it, but then again I did feel noticeably different after wards. Who knows, maybe some people are more sensitive to the effects than others and Mr. Writer and myself could be among that group.
I think it's just excitement, familiar feeling, a nostalgic rush of energy sent from the mind, etc. Specially if 20-30 minutes later is when you feel something again -- THAT's the LSD. I do think, for Writer especially, a part of your brain is REALLY wired and ready to soak this stuff in, so it's no surprise you get a surge of energy the second you dose. I guess i'm just guessing as well, but I am the type of person who will guess the justification route a million times before I can put faith in something higher. Realism sucks. As for hardhead vs. lightweight. Trust me there are more advantages to lightweight. I swear my weed tolerance is way too f'n high for the relatively short amount of time I've been smoking. I'd tell you now that I'd trade in a heartbeat. /2cents
