An Intense Journey

I had been planning out this trip with four of my friends for about a week beforehand. There was only one of us who had done any psychedelics before, and so he was to be our trip sitter. I had researched online about LSD and thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect from it, so I wasn't really nervous about taking it. The guy who brought it had promised us that it was 'legit, 100% pure L-S-D' and we were inclined to believe him. This was the main attraction that day, but I had brought some salvia (none of us had done that either) and another friend had brought some weed.

At about noon that day we met at a friend's house (he lived on a small farm) and set out into the woods. We took several gallons of water and some tea and settled in a field between two sections of woods and sat in a circle. We decided to smoke some salvia. I had several large hits of that from a pipe, but I didn't really get much out of it. I felt really high for about five minutes and everyone else said they felt the same.

After about fifteen minutes we went up in the woods to take the acid. We each took two tabs at the same time. The taste was a very chemical taste that numbed most of my mouth, which is how I now know that it was an NBOMe compound, but I thought nothing of it. I was expecting to slowly come up over the next hour or so, but directly after taking it one of the guys there started saying he was feeling really crazy. I kind of laughed at him for overreacting to it, and as soon as I did, I was hit with intense nausea.

We decide to go back to the field that we had been in. While I was walking back, by vision became blurred when I moved my head. I lay for a few minutes to let it kick in. At this point, I was afraid that I would go into a bad trip, but I managed to keep happy thoughts during that time. After a few minutes I sat up and was surprised to find that it looked like nighttime to me and that I could not see very much. I also had a very intense and unpleasant body high, as though I was standing in the middle of a hurricane. After some time, my vision became more clear and the color returned to the world. I forgot about the body high as soon as I noticed to visuals that I was having.

I remember little of the next six hours, however. Maybe it was because I took so much and it was my first time, I don't know. Talking to the other guys about that day has helped to recall a lot of details. There were long periods of time that I remember nothing of except for what everyone else said. I will do my best to recall everything in chronological order.

For the first hour or so, I was relatively stable and aware of what was happening. I didn't let anything upset me because I could still keep an objective view on things. At this time, my visuals were limited to the colors being brighter and I colorful 'tint' to the air. I had tracers if I looked at things, and if I focused on something for a while, I would notice patterns and morphing. I didn't feel like talking much, as I felt more like an observer of everything I saw rather than a participator. I payed attention to what the others were doing, but didn't really talk to them a lot. Two of them got into a fight over a hat that they both wanted to wear. I tried to wander off into the field once, but the trip sitter convinced me to stay with them. Earlier, I had been concerned about the fact that the entire area we were in was a place were cows were kept, but I forgot about it until this time. I herd of angry-looking cows came over a hill and everyone started to jump over a fence into a different field. I told them to stay calm and the cows wouldn't bother us, and so the cows went away after a while. This is about the time that my visuals were becoming larger, such as the ground moving up and town and the trees swaying in strange ways.

One guys had stayed on the other side of the fence and I decided to join him after a while. We all had a long discussion about which side of the fence was the 'right' side of the fence to be on. I decided that I was correct in staying on that side, as that held significance to me at the time. Now, my visual field was becoming increasingly disconnected from my thoughts. I became less aware of what I was seeing and what was going on around me as I approached my peak. I began to see fractals over top of my vision and moving images in my head even when my eyes were open. One of my friends, the one who the acid had acted the fastest on, was beginning to have a bad trip. He paced back and forth before panicking and running off in the woods. Afraid he would alert the people back at the house, our trip sitter ran after him. He yelled for us to help, but I was the only one who could respond. I ran into the woods after them, but stopped and began to laugh at the whole situation. I hugged a tree until they came back through, when my friend had calmed down and agreed to come back.

This was the point at which I felt lost in everything that I did. I couldn't think straight and nothing really made sense to me. I felt as though I had had no other experience prior to that as I went into the peak. I went back to my spot and sat down. The peak of my trip was absolutely fantastic. Although I didn't have any sort of spiritual experiences or anything of the sort, what I experienced was very profound. I experienced major time dilation and forgot who and what I was entirely. My idea of myself became what I was experiencing, and all I knew was that it was the most important thing to ever happen. There had never been anything outside of this and there never would be.

At some point, the time dilation caused me to go into some sort of time loop. I experienced several segments of time over and over again. Each segment had a different 'theme.' By that, I mean that there was a different main color to everything that I was seeing, and there were different words and phrases for each segment. I would, for example, be seeing lots of trees and the sky as though there was a blue filter over all of it and I would see 'LSD' in bold letters at the top of my vision. The same happened for red, but the word was 'ACID.' I believe there were four segments in total. I accepted the fact that the loop was the only thing that was or would ever be and came to enjoy it, as it felt exhilarating. At some point after this (I was told by everyone else what happened here, but recall the conversation they had at the time), we all went back into the woods and sat on a log. I don't remember doing this, but I remember what I was seeing and hearing while I was there. My vision was like a spinning vortex of color and I heard everything as though it was echoing through a huge empty space. I was beginning to worry that I may never come down.

I came down after we went back to the field. I was enjoying myself thoroughly and started paying attention to the visuals. I stared at the clouds and trees as they moved. I tried to drink some tea from a gallon jug, but poured most of it on myself by accident. I seemed to finish coming down almost instantly when one of friends asked my if I had come down. I stood up and realized that I had just tripped on acid. We headed back to the house. I still had some major visuals at this time, and continued to for several more hours. Overall, it was a very interesting experience that made me appreciate what psychedelics can do.
