One of my friends was wanting to try LSD for his first time, and wanted to buy some off of me, so I really got into the mood to trip with him. However, plans changed near the end, and I found my self at my house alone with 8 hits of LSD (about 100ugs+ each) and I really wanted to experiment with a high dose. 8:30pm Alone in my basement, my parents are upstairs I drop all 8 at once with an overwhelming mix of fear and excitement, some type of curiosity. I had already lost track of time, and everything just happened. Color was soon neon and inter-dimensional as it split out through different vortexes of time. I first started by listening to some music and looking at pictures and album covers. I am an artist, I like to paint, and I had finished a painting two days ago that I was very curios to look at. I have two paintings in Acrylic that I actually feel represent my view of the world, they're colorful and have a cartoony feel to them as I am an animator. One of the drawings I have was a building aside a night time sky with a path running down the middle and a large tree on the opposite side of said path. I watched as the Building breathed heavily and changed styles of art. Every once in awhile it looked very realistic, which was very odd because it looks very cartoony. I found this to be important later in my trip... My second painting, which I had finished recently was a painting of Venice Italy, not any place in particular, just my view of it. (So random buildings along a river, not any actual place) The water had a very van gough effect to it (this was real, not part of the trip) but as a stared at it, the water started to look VERY realistic, as the ripples purged out of the 2D + 3D realm into a higher dimension. I am very obsessed with dimensional theory, and many times I believe I witnessed the fourth dimension on my trip--unfortunately in ways I am unable to put into words. Things got scary tho, I believe it was about 9-10 and my parents finished watching a movie upstairs and came down to say good night. I thought I was fucked, I was tripping so hard, time was going soo slow that I would loose my train of thought if they mentioned a word to me. I just took a sip from a glass of water, and said night, trying not to look at them. I already forget what they said, but it was along the lines of good night, they weren't suspicious. I somehow felt very overwhelmed with what had happened, even though it wasn't a big deal at all... This time, my trip started to get very epic. I've seen the idea of things twirling and twisting--especially words, ideas, photos. But now color was changing. My glass of water changed to some tye-dye effect slowly. I soon got overwhelmed with sounds as it circled through my head over and over, and I kept seeing visuals moving wildly everywhere I looked. I couldn't do anything but lye down on my bed while feeling an extreme amount of energy flow right through me. Looking at a white wall, or white piece of paper was FILLED with designs ever changing. It was like it was trying to fuck with me. You'd see things move, but the closer you got to looking at it, everything around it changed, and it kept duplicating, I was seeing never ending staircases everywhere and I really started to see fourth dimensional objects that I don't know how to explain. I was probably at my peak here, but I wasn't learning anything yet, I was just overwhelemed. I knew that it was going to come down though, so I kept telling myself to chill, but everything was temporarily uncomfortable. I was still there laying in my bed, and I went absolutely crazy!! I saw clowns riding unicycles into my head for no reason. I watched crinkles in my bed tell stories, I saw trees come to life in my bed sheet.. I don't even understand anything. And I started to get the idea, that I don't understand anything, so just go along for the ride and see what you find. All of the sudden it stopped. I was thrown back into reality. I got back up from my bed, and realized my parents had went to bed, so I decided to go outside. THE WORLD WAS IMMENSE!! The sky was swelling in a deep purple, clouds changed shapes and colors. Starts where every color of the rainbow, but were shown in some type of neon glow in no specific order. I set up some blankets on a hammock, and this really took me for a ride. I soon forget the feeling of up and down, it was just being. I watched as the world had a 3D effect as if watching a 3D film in the cinema. Things had colored shadows like the blue and red effect, except there was more, I saw blue, Red, Green, Purple and perhaps some more colors shadow the stars, popping in and out of me. Nature soon grew with me, Autumn was a good time to do this, as colors were vibrant. However, it soon got dark. And it was strange, it seemed the more you focused on the dark, the brighter it became, like changing the exposure on a camera, and leaves were now black, but they each had this neon outline. Flowers grew as high as trees and bent in every direction aside from just up. The sky then got very strange. This part was proprably the most thought inducing part. I watched different parts of the world I was in, and the universe would tell me a story. I don't remember the order of the stories, and i forget a couple of them. But I remember looking at a house, everything was peaceful and conflict would happen and then the trees turned into lovers kissing. I looked the other way, and I felt like I was in the 1960s. I felt like it was vietnam, and the sky exploded over and over again, the clouds kept bouncing in red and the trees overtook me. If you are familiar with the movie Across the Universe, it felt like I was in the strawberry hills scene that Maxwell is in. I know there were more stories, in fact many but I couldn't remember them. But they all were about peace, conflict, then love. I never understood the reason for conflict, but then it just hit me. If everything were linear and straight, what fun would there be with anything. Conflict was necessary, you learn from it. As much as I would love a world of peace and harmony, it wouldn't teach me anything, because it would never challenge me to go farther. I really felt like I was discovering stuff. The world then seemed to be an eletrical circuit board, and the stars were connecting the pieces in lines of color. It allowed me to process everything. And then I was looking at the clouds again, but instead of it showing me a story, I created it. I was allowed to draw shapes in the clouds miles above me, and it was in 3D as well. I drew this crib that I was allowed to rotate. I have no idea why I drew a crib, but it was what came to mind. The universe started telling me stories again. Except this time they were personal, I found my self in other peoples shoes. But just random people. People I know, people I love. I'm not going to get into this because it was too personal... But I lived life as other people and saw the world they did. Which could have possibly have been the 5th dimension. I then found myself hit reality for just a second, and I wanted to just watch something other than the sky. I had my iPad with me, so i opened it up, and put on the movie Coraline. Which is from the co-creator of Nightmare before Christmas, and it kind of a little girl movie, but I've always loved it. It has somewhat of a dark vibe to it, but is also VERY colorful. Everything that happend in the movie, i felt like I was experiencing for my self. Every perspective the camera took, I was there. So Instead of being others, I was being inanimate objects. Views elongated. I then got overwhelmed at looking at a screen so I peaked back up at the sky, but i didn't turn off the movie. I then remember feeling very distorted. I don't know how it was possible, but I felt narrow, as if I got thin and long. The whole universe was squeezed. And my head felt like it were about to pop, but then I got normal, then bigger, and everything was rippling. I then felt as if I were under the sea. I forget to mention while I was lieing on my bed, I stared at my toes as they changed texture and shapes. and the bed sheet then turned into water, and my feet were just flapping in the water. So this brought me back to that, but now I was looking up from the water, and I saw light ripple over the water above me. It made sense, but not now as I type it. The stars then got very strange. They were 3D objects just rotating in the air. Not of anything in particular, just shapes. I found myself VERY creative for some reason, and the movie really helped because I saw someone elses world that I could compare to my own. The houses then got colorful and wavy (well they were always wavy..) but It felt as if I were in a cartoon. Then remember the painting I mentioned about the breathing house. I stared at the back of my house as it changed into that building. It was breathtaking. I then felt like I was in the simpsons for some reason. I'm skipping at lot, because I don't remember much. But I remember falling off the hammock, and I had to go to the bathroom. As soon as I walked things got really psychedelic. I had take a piss, so I just went outside, and it was very slow and powerful (sorry for the nasty picture haha) and I then got VERY cold, so I went back to the blankets, but I decided to go on the ground. I decided to just bury myself in the blankets and not even see the outside world, and I really lost the idea of orientation now. I never felt like I was lying any direction at all.. Things were really curvy, and for some reason that made me think of the beauty of women. Something about them being curvy and not straight. I don't know how to explain this one. A car soon passed, and holy shit it lasted FOREVER, it came by and I don't know what it was but it looked like a cop car because it was flashing blue and red, but of course even if it were a cop car the sirens weren't on. But the sound never left my mind, then it was as if I could manipulate the sound that I heard a while ago. Make the waves of vibration go faster or slower. I then could just create a song with this vibrations from a car I heard awhile ago. And it just didn't go away for such a LONG time. There was something so colorful and creative about everything I was experiencing, I felt as if I had just tapped into my mind and found the source of creativity. I really felt like I learned form this. And I'm desperate to get some new paintings going to see if I can recreate some momemnts with color. There was more, I really went insane, but I find this report VERY long, and possibly endless in description, so I remain to think. It lasted from 8:300pm Friday, to about 12pm Saturday in terms of visuals. And I still feel REALLY weird and disoriented and color seems brighter. Possibly just afterglow. But this is really long. So I hope for people interested into wondering what a high dose was like, or wonders what LSD is like found this interesting. Though, it will never really make sense until you experience it yourself. And experience is the only word to really put to it, because it's more than sound, visuals, and body. You really EXPERIENCE things. Thanks.
Awesome Trip Report Black Lotus! I can relate with how much of a trip it is to experience your own art on psychedelics. The drastic shifts of color are definitely a quality LSD trip, seems you had some very significant, detailed hallucinations as well. It's interesting reading about your view on conflicts, perhaps paradox? I also relate to feeling like I'm expericing aspects of a movie like you mentioned with Coraline, cept my movie was The Doors. It's really cool the way you describe the mental stories that were unfolded during your trip. Once again, I really enjoyed reading this and I hope this trip inspires some lasting realizations and new artwork!
The high dose is a pretty wonderful experience, isn't it? This right here is something I realized during a trip a couple of years ago. It was an incredible feeling when I realized that for anything to be good you need to have something "bad" to compare it to. :2thumbsup:
Fantastic read Lotus, thoroughly enjoyed it! The universe started telling me stories again. Except this time they were personal, I found my self in other peoples shoes. But just random people. People I know, people I love. I'm not going to get into this because it was too personal... But I lived life as other people and saw the world they did. Which could have possibly have been the 5th dimension. That bit really interested me, but glad you didn't share, can't wait!
Great trip report Lotus. I too had surpassed previous experiences with acid last night. I can't stop thinking about it as well. Good fryday for sure! :sunny:
As said by all previous post, awesome report! This is the kind of experience I've been wanting to partake in (once quality L returns that is); kudos for holding your shit around parents, no matter how brief the encounter, can't fathom! Haha best I've done is barely hold shit on 1/8 of mush years ago to momz
Awesome report! Have you uploaded a pic of those paintings anywhere? Wanna check 'em out I've gotta try a higher dose.. from all the high dose reports it seems it's impossible to waste the experience.
really great trip report, lotus! and sounds like an amazing trip. was this only like your 3rd time tripping? makes me feel "silly" for not having done a high dose myself, after tripping ~100 times... if you wanted to elaborate on the part where you found yourself in other people's shoes...i'd be interested in reading about it. again, great trip report, especially from a newbie
These are the pictures of the paintings as requested... @Pork: Yeah, it was only my third trip haha. I'm a little surprised I talked myself into doing 8, but I don't regret it a bit. In fact, the higher dose was way better, even the insane parts. I hope if you do try it, you'll experience the universe telling stories to you-it was incredible!! As for the other people shoes. I really don't want to go into detail, but in terms of dimensional theory. The 4th dimension is known as time. It has all of our future and past selves combined with our present selves. The 5th dimension shows different "paths" of our future selves. For instance, if I didn't take LSD before, that would have a different future for me. So I'm a little iffy on this one. But if you go off of the idea that we are all one, being in other peoples shoes could technically be the 5th dimension because I lived their lives for awhile. Everything physically around me disappeared. I pictured the person first, and saw them drawn in the stars. I then took their perspective and watched as I felt their pain, happiness, and fears. Whether these were accurate to themselves I don't know. But it felt real to some extent. I then saw how the world saw me in some aspect. I would highly suggest trying a high dose, especially if you have all those experiences, it will really blow everything else out of perspective. Whether you do it alone or in a group is up to you, but I'm glad I did it alone, because I really just did what my impulses told me to do. So I'd suggest a solo high dose trip! Thanks everybody for the responses!
^^just curious, have you ever tripped with someone else? not that solo tripping is "worse," i actually kinda prefer it... i've had a very similar thing happen on 2ce...i told you about it. picturing myself as a starving child, a homeless man, etc. and i've taken some decent doses of L...but never 8 hits. 4 was pretty strong. and 2 of the batch i have now is probably stronger than those 4.... so it's always hard to say exactly what type of dose i've taken. i'd guess that i've never taken much more than ~300 ug.
Wonderful report, you really captured a lot of the bursting content of each moment found in an LSD peak, particularly a high dose one. It really is like a different substance as you approach 1mg. I really like your paintings! The part about the universe telling you stories, that rang true with me. I felt on 15 hits that I was part of a grand narrative, that the entire universe had been aligning for 11 billion years [in part] so that I could find myself then and there, with that dose in my noggin, experiencing that kind of thing, and it was all scripted in the very language with which it was all composed, all tied together, the message and the medium.
i know it's gotta be quite different on a *high* dose, but i feel like i've experienced that on just a hit or two... but i know i've experienced it more on my higher doses
kind of.. I was with this kid for just a bit, but then we had to go our separate ways, but we were texting each other the entire time. this was my second experience. We both just took 2 hits. I finally feel the need for some rest off of Lucy for a couple of weeks or so.. Which I'm glad, because I felt like I still needed more after the first 2 experiences. But I have plans to trip with this same kid who wants to try LSD for his first time, and the kid that I "kind of tripped with" who has become a very good friend of mine recently. I think were gonna try LSD, Shrooms, and DMT together (not at the same time of course haha) But I agree you can get some of those effects off of the lower doses, because I felt it with my first experience. But now it seems that all of your senses take part in it even further. They correlate more with each other. There was a time I was twisted up while laying on my bed and I felt like I was being sucked into a black hole, I really freaked out for a second, my body felt like I was being sucked, it looked like I was being sucked, and it was very powerful!! I'm not thrown off of the lower dose scene at all, but if I have the money, I'd rather drop 10 than 5 or less.
I really like the paintings, I'm really jealous of any sort of artistic talent, but I find these paintings simple but relaxing, good stuff.
Great expirience!!! I was always saying, and I am repeting mysef again - above 500 ugs the real deal begins. Yes you can have a good trip with lower dose, but with high doses its garanteed that you will bring something back. Another thing, I know plenty of people like to trip solo on the high dose, but there is nothing better than tripping with somebody you love and trust with your life on high dose. Its like you are exchanging the whole knowledge between you, like you are teaching each other and very often you are tripping the same thing, or play different roles in the same trip. Telepathy is very common, and you keep pushing each other to the new frontiers of existance and reality. You morph to each other and exchange roles, views, scenery, dimensions, every now and then somebody comes up with the new realisation witch is elaborated and deeply understood as the other person build up on your begining and then you continue where they stopped. Its like when you go running, it is much better if you have somebody runing with you, so you can push each other and run more, or faster. Black_Lotus, if you realy want to try to trip with that kid more and you find out that you are soul mates, do a high dose together, but on some place where you can feel safe and relax, somewhere where there is no parents or anybody to distract you. Play the favourite music (if possible psychedelic trance) as that keeps you together so nobody wonders away alone. Well done girl for a third time!!!
I've taken quite a bit of LSD in my time, and I must admit that I have no idea what this sentence means. The words color, neon and vortexes (vortices, I believe you mean) lead me to think that you are referring to the tiny spiralling circles which show up in front of the eyes on all psychoactives, and are particularly entertaining on psychedelics, but I could be wrong because I have no idea what they have to do with time or other dimensions. Gautama Buddha had something interesting to say about those peculiar little light brites, you should check out the Surangama Sutra. Not to be a douche, when your on enough acid, anything can make sense, now matter how its described lol
^^ haha, I still know what I'm talking about, but I have noooo idea how to describe it. It's like objects and color went through you, you could feel what was behind you, and to your side, everything spiraled out, and you could sense beyond yourself I don't know if this will make sense. But no that's not douchy, some things just make no sense sober, cause your not on the same train of thought. Or trains of thought..
I love those swirlies, I could see how someone would call those inter dimensional. When i trip acid, i can see those swirlies make all kinds of designs and words, and the way they do it is so beautiful and intricate. They all swirl around at different speeds, and what makes the words is the colors meeting up with eachother (eg, the blue side of one swirly touches the blue side of another, and this happens in lines of siwrlie). It's amazing that my own mind can make this happen, so mathematical and intricate.
