Hey there everybody! Just last weekend I had my first psychedelic experience, it was probably the most intense experience of my life thus far. Ignoring the urgings of my friends, I took 2 hits instead of one; and boy am I glad I did! I always thought it was a little cliche when people said they "entered a different world" when they tripped, but now I see that this description is the only way to come close to describing what the experience is like. I always thought psychedelics were just about the visuals and that I would just be "seeing cool shit," but I never took into consideration that it was about the combination of stunning visuals, and an entirely new and beautiful mind-frame! I felt like everything was new; sounds, tastes, words, even myself. It was like waking up from a dream that I had been having all my life, and I had been asleep for so long that I had forgotten what the world was like. Perhaps the best way of describing my mindset is by saying that I knew there were certain perfections, and certain imperfections all around me, but the presence of all these perfections and imperfections seemed to combine and I could apprectiate the imperfections for what they were; I didn't care that there were imperfect things because I knew all the perfect things would more than make up for them. Going to a Clairinet, Marimba and Piano trio concert was probably the most awe-inspiring event of the day (either that or making my own music). Since I had just made my own music, seeing other peoples' ways of creating and performing music was the most powerful thing I had ever experienced! I hope this brief summary of my experience has helped those who are looking into trying psychedelics of any kind (although I highly reccomend Acid ). There are so many things happening around us that we are not aware of, and this substance opened my eyes to that. Now I have a question to the more experienced trippers; I was thinking of doing 3 hits for my next trip, does this seem like a little too much for a second timer? I had a great time doing 2, but I'd like to see just how far this can go! Thanks for taking the time to read this!
As a doctor, I suggest that you take 3 next time. But just wait until you take 10! :cheers2: It just never stops getting more insane. The fractal rabbit holes are eternal
First off, you have a way with words my friend, and you in this poster's opinion, you have captured the essence of the experience marvelously Bravo! I will be sharing your post with a friend of mine who will be dropping with me for the first time in a week. As for your question, 3 is not much more than 2! I would personally go to 4, or even 5, but I am a bit bullheaded
That's almost exactly how i felt the time i tried mushrooms. although it was more like i was reliving the essence of some early, spiritual childhood that i'd totally forgotten about until just then.
Thank you all for the postive responses! I'm definitely doing 3 the next time I trip, which I hope is sooner rather than later. The only thing that left me a little dissatisfied about the whole experience was that it was difficult for me to recall the type of mind-set I was in during the trip. So perhaps next time I should write down exactly what I'm feeling at certain moments. As for the people that are trying it for the first time soon, the only way of preparing you for the journey you will embark on is by saying; there is no way you will ever be prepared. I certainly wasn't when it started kicking in, but just because there's no way to prepare for it, doesn't mean that you can't have a fantastic time! In fact, I'd say that's half the fun. Once again fellow plane-travellers, thank you for the postive responses, they made me want to make more of an effort to be active on the forum again!!
the first i dosed i took 5 hits and it was sick! although im not new to tripping ive done mushrooms over 20 times along with a handfull of rc experiences
Johnny, it's normal not to remember the mindset, because the mindset is an actual configuration of your brain involving chemicals, electrical activity, and information flow. When you come back down, that configuration is reset to baseline, thus making the memory of how you felt extremely difficult and soon impossible to remember. It's like trying to remember every second of last night's dream. You can't, because the dreams were not simply stories in your head to be recalled at will, they were the result of a very specific and very complex neurological event or state. And of course, words only go so far. Think of all the writing throughout human history on the topic of Love. Yet what words come near to that fluttering and warmth and milk of life we all feel at some point? I dare say none, for mere sounds of a language are akin to hammers and nails, and how can we divine from the presence of hammers and nails those forms which they create and are created for?
thats sick i cant wait for friday to come im so excited to trip for my first time i hope i have that kind of wakeing up out of a dream state you were tlkin about i think it would b cool to b able to look at myself and the world with new eyes
