I decided to try out an 8g nang using a whipped cream dispenser.
This time the nang went in successfully with the container releasing very little air. I knew this was going to be the experience.
I put the nozzle in my mouth upright and pressed the release valve. I was sitting down on my bed. Right as I pressed the release valve, I played 'Nangs' by Tame Impala on my phone while I was wearing headphones plugged-in to the phone. A lot of gas, more gas than ever, came in. I could barely hold it in, but I kept it all.
Within seconds, everything was blue. I decided to stay upright. The music started to 'span out', as in I could hear the detail of the music. The wubs at the beginning did not sound like wubs; the music sounded like 'one'. I was hallucinating hardcore at this point, seeing many small circles intertwined with each other. I saw black and the circles had either a blue, red, or green outline (these are also the colors our trichromatic receptors perceive).
When the music started past the introduction part (when the drums started playing) I could hear a guitar string (synthesizer) vibrating very intensely. Dububububububub, dubububububububub. At this point in time I felt very alone and scared. Time seemed to expand. As the next part of the music played (after the awesome drum solo) I could still hear the intense guitar string, although it was fading.
However, my music appreciation went up greatly and it made me realize Kevin Parker is a musical genius. He probably hears music at this level and knows how to work the synthesizer. Therefore, the music is beautiful.
When I play this song sober, I can still hear the music 'spanned out' at the beginning, but I don't hear the guitar string.
