3 hits of WoW = WOW!

i am back from the festival. We had a great time. There was significant rain which moved the parties into the inside of the tents on one of the nights, but everyone had a grand old time.

i haven't taken mid or high dose LSD since March, 2010. In hindsight, i am not sure why. i had been low-dosing for the summer festival schedule, i guess to ensure that i would be functional, social, mobile, etc. Very nice feeling of light chemical euphoria with no visuals.

Well, at the festival when i decided to dose i chose to make it a little stronger. i didn't think (ha ha) eating three small hits of the White on White LSD that i had on hand would do much other than bump me up the next level from chemical euphoria to light visuals. Ha ha.

Well, i put the doses under my tongue and began my usual ritual of smoking combination bowls of hash and pot - i made sure everyone around me got nice and baked too. Within absolutely no more than 20 minutes (i had a completely empty stomach) i got an alert. Surprising that i would feel it that fast, but pleasant. Within the next 10 minutes, it was building rapidly . . . both the feelings and the CEV's and OEV's. i decided i had better get up and slowly move towards home base (camp) just in case . . .

This was a delightful, hilarious and BEAUTIFUL walk. It had started to rain and the dirt roads were full of muddy footprints. The rain drops were gorgeous, rainbowy, crystally, glisteny. The footprints were hilarious. They were prints in the mud with wet edges and they lit up and came alive and started dancing around each other. Meanwhile i felt like i was floating about 2 inches above the ground and could NOT make a bad step. Never came close to slipping or loosing my balance.

i made it back to camp and my husband signalled me over to come sit with him and neighbors. i was getting slammed with effects and visuals at this time and made no attempt to pretend otherwise, . . . just smiled at everyone and tripped out on things. At least one of the group (not my husband) was in EXACTLY the same situation. Neither of us was able to talk much. My vocabulary seemed to have disappeared. Someone asked me about the music in the rain and i could not accurately describe that technicians had covered the instruments and speakers with sheets of plastic. Someone asked me what kind of music Bluetech made and all i could do was laugh and mumble that i was the wrong person to ask right now.

Finally, my husband got up and said he was going to take a walk or do something and asked if i wanted to join him. i just kind of giggled, said i would go hang out in the tent for awhile and "try to get my vocabulary back together," which made the entire group laugh in a good natured way. i stumbled back to the tent, where everything was moving and alive. i stripped down and lay on top of my mattress and started laughing/giggling. EVERYTHING looked and felt hilarious. The effects were continuing to build and my limbs started to twitch a bit. i could feel myself getting dragged down into the trip or a kind of trance, so i pulled a blanket over myself.

This was a dome-style tent with the main poles criss-crossing and forming triangular type shapes on the top of the blue tent material. The raindrops hitting the tent made beautiful patterns, and the triangle shapes suggested that everything break up into fractalized triangles with eyes open. Things kept getting more increasingly fractalized overtime until EVERYTHING seemed to be made up of tiny, rectangular, purple pixels. It reminded me of all the speculation and sci-fi talk about our reality possibly being a (computer or other type of ) simulation running in the far future. i was laughing again! Hey, at least it was a nice simulation and very pretty!

Eyes closed yielded DMT pre-breakthrough geometry in the gorgeous colors of the DMT cat in my pic signature. Think sacred geometry combined with ayahuasca visuals.

While laying there i became very detached from my body. It was similar to dissociation, but not as intense or disconcerting or confusing. But, i was not able to sit up or stand up without difficulty, effort and lack of stability for a couple of hours.

As the hours passed, in the middle of this, i was laughing but concerned about being "stuck in the tent" in a bit of a hallucinogenic trance. So, i downed 65 mgs of MDMA in the middle of this to try to ground me back into my body and bring me back up out of the depths. Ha ha. Didn't work. Just made me laugh more when it came on.

Once in awhile my husband would peak his head in and all i could do was peak out at him from under the afghan and giggle! After a couple hours of this i was able to speak coherently to him and tell him what had been happening and become more interactive. Eventually i was up and around, smoking pot again and enjoying the afterglow. i wound up crashing a lot earlier than i hoped (before 2 a.m.) because i had dosed around 4 p.m. and we had gotten up to depart for the festival right before 3 a.m. the previous day. Needless to say, i was exhausted.

Many other things happened and i had a great night, but these were kind of the high points of the trip.

This was a delightful experience. i liked the way it came on so fast and hard, leaving no room for doubt or skepticism (My neighbor dosed and said just when he was starting to doubt, he got an alert.) and yet it was very smooth and gentle. Strong yet gentle. How could i not like that as a woman, he he.

My DMT abstention break continues, though i took a couple tiny tastes (clearing a bit of non-inhaled vapor from the Vaporgenie when other people took hits). But, i will be dosing again on October 2nd. Crazy for me to wait only 2 weeks instead of like 4-6 months, but we have the double-whammy of Oct. 1 being our 22nd anniversary and October 2nd we've got a combination Outersect/Infected Mushroom/Shpongle show, . . . so . . . though the Summer festival schedule is over for us there still seem to be good events.

Peace & Love,
Spicey Cat
Brrrrrrp!

 

I still haven't written my 3 shiva TR, nice that you experienced something similar

Yeah it's amazing how fast and strong good acid kicks in . . . like an avalanche.

Infected Mushroom and Shpongle?! *jealous*

I wonder what your thoughts are on the "sacred" feeling of acid, compared to the "sacred" feeling of tryptamines. There's something I can't put my finger on with lucy, I think it's the "cleanness" of the experience, that in combination with that unique "celebratory sacredness" feeling, is just too beautiful for words. Existence creating a holy potion through which existence can celebrate existence

 

That sounds like a great time Spicey! Kinda reminded me of my first (and only so far) acid trip, how everything was so beautiful and hilarious, strong but gentle. That's so awesome that you have your husband and what sounds like a great group of people to trip with, I wish I had a good support group. It's always awkward tripping around someone who you know doesn't understand or approve, but "tolerates" it. I'm still learning how to deal with the Fear as it's only been recently that I've been really feeling it.

Anyway, great report as always, thanks for sharing and I'm glad you had a beautiful time

 

An intense but light hearted trip it sounds like. Kind of made me wish I was in Northern California right now, its dry here. I really want to go to that Infected Mushroom, Shpongle (I believe he's spinning a Hallucinogen set too) show but I doubt I could get a ticket after paying for the plane and everything.

 

i wanna try some acid =(
totally impossible to find where im from. DANG!

 

i think so too. That is where the Outersect guy will step in. i presume kinda like this:

Actually, i was at this show, but by this point, i had stumbled out into the hallway and sat down against the wall (along with A LOT of other people), sunglasses on, mind blown . . .

 

Hallucinogen is some intense stuff! I remember my 2nd 2ci trip listening to half of 'The lone Deranger' album by him and just being transported to a very distant and synthetic dimension with eyes closed.

 

did you have a favorite performance of the festival spicey cat? Was this the festival ott was performing at you were talking about awhile ago.

Blutech is ambient btw.

 

Yeah, my vocabulary is back, he he.

Well, i loved Michael Franti and Spearhead.

Really loved the music, energy and positive message of both Indubious and Alycyon Massive (who i got to meet and give a gift to in person - what a wonderful performer).

i also enjoyed the Irie Dub Mafia & Organick Time Machine . . .

This was a different festival from Mystic Garden Party, which was in July . . .

 

Oh ok I remember talking about the other one but dont remember seeing any follow up after.

 

Unfortunately, Mystic was a fun disaster. There were a number of (4) venue changes, one of them within 48 hours of the event. Needless to say the thing was chaotic, everything late in setting up, etc. Meanwhile, huge numbers of scheduled performers and speakers cancelled and there was the smallest turnout i've ever seen at a festival (under 5000 i am sure).

During this time, we had a chance to speak with the local Fire Marshal who confirmed that in all his time working in that area he had never experienced a heat wave in excess of 112 degrees for over three days (which is what we got).

It was really tough. We were highly intoxicated without taking drugs due to drinking many of gallons of water but having electrolyte problems.

Everyone tried to make the best of it, but unfortunately, i find myself mainly complaining. Also having second thoughts about Burning Man in 2012. This event (Mystic Garden Party) was only 5 days and the heat was literally insane.

 

A high point of Earthdance:

Sounds like you had a good time.
Hiding under the covers giggling made me laugh, then wonder why your hubby wasn't in there with you, I know I sure would have been. :drool5:
but then again, I am a dirty old man in training, and psychedelics can make me rather "frisky"

Curious, any guesstimations about how many total mics that dose may have been?

 

LOL! i hear you! And he's quit training now that he's 60!

Anyway, we've been having some conflicts lately so we weren't there yet, . . . but we actually got some work done at the festival and things have been smoother since so we are working back to that point - he'll dive in under the afghan to join what's left of my giggling self next time no doubt.

Impossible (as you know) to know dosage, but guessing is fun. i weighed 118 and thus 55-60 mcg should have hit me like what everyone feels a typical 100 mcg trip is. Thus, i would guess 150-180 solid and real micrograms . . . .

 

Thanks for posting the song spiceycat. I have a new song I can play with or jam over when I'm bored!

 

What an honest appraisal of dosage.
I was thinking maybe around 250-300, but you know your response to it better than I do.
See kids, you don't have to tell people you took 872ugs and tripped balls to impress. LSD is a lot stronger than often thought.

 

"could NOT make a bad step. Never came close to slipping or loosing my balance."

i can definitely relate to that. when i took three hits camping in the woods by a creek. we walked up the creek for about 3 hours and i was barefoot.

i also liked the part about laying in your tent at the festival. reminded me of the small fest (like 500 maybe 1000) i went to this summer. i had a pretty strong trip for a hit and a half. i gave my bro the other half for his first trip ever. we laid in the tent laughing like maniacs for a good chunk of the time. he held his fingers together in a geometrically perfect square representing the small square of paper he just ate in AWE

 

My first acid trips gonna be today, I've got two hours until takeoff. :]

 

Awesome story!!! I could relate to a lot of it.

When are you going to see Infected Mushroom? They kick ass!!!!
