A few weeks back some buddies and I had gotten some blotters from my dealer who had just picked up a bunch from a festival up in CT. We were the first people to try this batch, so we each popped two each and waited for the first rising vibes' electric feel. It was me, my bro (G), my tripping buddy (J) and my bro's friend (D) who dropped, but G and D dropped an hour after J and I did, the other two were last minute additions. So we dropped the tabs around 9:30 p.m and kicked it back in my garage drinking a few beers, listening to music and smoking cigs waiting to come up. My first alert was the taste of the tabs, they were very bitter and this immediately sent my mind into a "what did I just take" whirl. I had read about RC's on blotters, but figured it was just really strong acid in my naivety. I hadn't tripped in about three months so I was looking forward to my impending date with the universe. About an hour went by and we didn't really feel anything, but we were having fun just drinking and ended up making a bonfire in my backyard right next to the woods. I got the sensation at around +1:30 that "something is creeping on me, shouldn't be long now"... and I was right, about 15 minutes later things began to kick in, but after the initial rush it was a slow crawl on the come-up. By this time, being around 2 hours in and I'm still only coming up, we decided this must be some sort of RC, but we just decided to see what it had to offer. +3:30- We finally hit the beginning of the peak and we realized this was going to be a longggg trip. I looked around the fire at J and D (G was MIA but took his with D an hour later) who were laughing at faces they saw in the fire, and all of my senses shot into overdrive. I was witnessing everything going on all at once rather than individually. I'd watch them laughing while sensing the fire and watching the trees dance and the sky opened up and took on a luminescence I hadn't seen since my last big acid trip. My vision would sort of enlarge and shrink every so often which was dissorienting but funny. +4:30- Turns out G took his tabs and fell asleep. I went inside and saw him sleeping, woke him up at which point he looked at me wide-eyed and said "Dude, my room is breathing" to which I replied, "yeah I know." We laughed and he said he'd meet the rest of us outside in a minute. At this point I remembered I had gotten glowsticks and was pumped to start popping them open and making universes in the grass, which we all did asap. We were all peaking pretty hard, stars were connecting the dots and forming constellations before my eyes. We went back in the garage and listened to a bunch of Hendrix (Machine Gun, Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, etc..) and as we watched the computer screen everything was moving around and my computer would all the sudden grow icicles all over it. I looked at the ladders hanging on the wall and the 2 I know are there would multiply to 4 ladders, then back to three, then the original 2, then repeat. Every line was moving and squirming. At this point I really thought it may be acid despite the odd come up. Everything felt right and the visuals were pretty on-point, just a little less mindfuck than acid I've had, but it can vary from batch to batch. +6:30- Still peaking, and even harder than before. Nothing made sense anymore at this point and we were all muttering straight jibberish, lying around the fire in the grass looking at the branches dance and the stars fly. Normally my buddy J and I love talking utter nonsense while on Acid cuz it's incredibly second-natured, so we muttered nonsense and laughed until D threw a purple glowstick into the fire. I saw a black hole form inside the fire and immediately yelled "Dudes, we've just created a black hole; look!" They agreed and we started laughing again. I pulled out my phone (which was off) and had a pretend conversation with NASA: "Hello, NASA, ugh, idk how to put this delicately, but we've created a gaping hole in the flesh of the universe... Japan just went in and the Pacific Ocean is pouring in as we speak..." Then my buddy J pretending to be the NASA person said "Sir, was there acid invovled?" to which I replied "Yes, sir. A whole lot." ...And then we laughed for another hour. We walked through my yard which was a massive expanse at this point, and the grass looked plowed like a farm field. Quite interesting I though. Anyway, this stuff was incredibly visual towards the climax which was probably at +9-10 hrs in. It took forever to get there but the visuals were the most intricate I'd ever seen. It wasn't hard to control at all and had sort of a speedy edge to it the more you came down. At parts it was nearly indistinguishable from acid which is why I say that It tried to be acid, but was missing that certain something that LSD has. It was very in-your-face with visuals like it was trying to show off, but this is still a very useful chemical and I gathered a good deal of insight and introspection during the (eventual) comedown. It was incredibly smoothe and clean throughout, and although the "trip" was probably 16-18 hours, mild visual distortions went on through most of the next day (no sleep that night obviously) and in the morning I had an incredibly morning glow. Everything looked very pastel and nearly cartoonish. When I was finally just about down, it was as though I had "stretched back into a new, clean pair of skin" which felt AMAZING. So in conclusion: I really like DOC. It's a very smoothe ride without a total mindfuck, but I can see there being a very legit minkfuck on higher doses. The visuals were incredible and very artistic, like it's channeling the artist within. I had never seen visuals this intricate in all of my experience with LSD and mush and music was of course beyond beautiful. Make sure you have a longgg time to trip because I wasn't able to sleep for two days, but it was worth it. Peace :2thumbsup:
Sounds like a pretty fun trip, and an interesting latter half. Cool descriptions, I've only heard positive reports about DOC.
Immediately after the trip I started doing a lot of research to find out what exactly it was that we had ingested. I had guessed it was a DOx but it was way to clean to be DOB, which a lot of people say is a terrible RC with a lot of body load. I narrowed it down to DOC and DOM. From reports and general identifying characteristics I'm assuming it's DOC. If someone gave me this when I was expecting acid I'd be a little bummed, but not too much cuz this stuff is really a cool/intersting trip!
