Two friends and I went to a beautiful nature park outside our city which we’ve tripped in before. This was the first time we were trying 4-Aco, but we were all experienced with acid and somewhat experienced with shrooms. We dosed volumetrically, dissolving our entire packet (of known weight) into water and then measuring out a 60 mg-equivalent portion of the solution. We then each drank one third of the solution (equivalent to a 20 mg dose).

T=0: I consume the solution. Chased it with iced tea and it tasted fine.
5 min – rapid onset. Body begins to feel light/floaty.
10 min – body becomes heavy. Nausea kicks in.
20 min – heavy vomiting. I was the only one of us to experience nausea/vomiting, but another reported stomach pain throughout the trip.
20-40 min – visual effects kick in. Distortions, fuzziness, illusions of motion and shifting frames. Eyes seem to be everywhere (trees especially).
45 min – a nice old lady in the park comes and talks to us. Able to hold a wholesome conversation, however constant fear in the back of my mind that I’m going to vomit/I’m going to scare her.

1 hr – strong closed eye visuals. When I close my eyes, I am cascaded into this wonderful world of colors and fractals; however, if I pay attention I notice these almost Easter Island-looking heads watching me. Their eyes are fixed on me, however they do not talk or even move at all. I feel very comfortable in their presence; they strike me as extremely powerful yet benevolent.

2 hr – the peak. I was walking down a hill but felt completely weightless. Significant time dilation. I keep trying to close my eyes and re-enter this beautiful heads-world inside my mind, however my tripmates want to keep walking. I want to chill with the heads but actually seeing them requires me to focus pretty hard, so I can’t do it while walking. I kind of wasted the peak because I had to go on this trek, but I honestly don’t think I would have broken through any further had I just lied down and committed myself to the heads-world. Then again, it sucks to think of what could have been; oh well.

2.5 hr – effects begin to wear off. We finally sit down and I try to go back to the heads-world but I can no longer get that far. I tell my tripmates about the heads and sure enough, when they close their eyes and really focus in, they also see the same heads! We then start to see the heads in the cliff across from us, almost a Mount Rushmore of these mystical Heads gazing upon us. By this point the drug is wearing off and post-trip euphoria is settling in. Everything’s funny, food tastes pretty great and music’s fantastic.

3 hr – visual effects are essentially gone. Everyone’s happy and we just vibe out on a pier listening to music.

5 hr – after-effects die out. I’m essentially sober. We return to our normal, shitty lives in the concrete jungle of capitalism.
The next day – I slept great that night and woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Very optimistic and extremely confident the next day. Pretty nice afterglow.

One major thing I found about the experience (not necessarily good nor bad) is that I did not think deeply while on the drug. I didn’t get big realizations, I didn’t learn anything, I didn’t feel “woke”: I just existed within that moment in time and simply put, that was enough. This contrasts to times I did acid where my mind was blown right off my shoulders. Once again, this isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing.

Overall, this was a fantastic experience and definitely a chemical I would do again! The body load was a lot better than previous times I’ve done shrooms (I was once reduced to a vegetable by 5g) and the closed eye visuals were exceptional. Open eye visuals were pretty lame compared to acid, but that’s to be expected.
