Last night i had my second LSD trip, i'm really happy with this one because i was completely sober when i dropped so I was able to get the full effects which i robbed myself of the first time. I bought 5 ganashas though i only took one of them because i got to admit i was pretty anxious about doing it and it was an achievement on its own for me just resisting spitting the thing out lol My setting was perfect, i was in my own house on my own in my bedroom, i had left my heating on all day so my house was nice n warm. I just bought MGMT's album that day too so that was my music of choice for the night though i was only really listening to music on the come up, it soon became unimportant and a wee bit annoying actually. I dropped at around 10pm and was pretty much regretting it by 11pm, i was not sure if i was in the mood for tripping i felt tired and anxious but knew it was to late for these types of thoughts there was no going back and as much as i wanted to there was no shaking it of. My mood changed pretty fast once the effects came on it was really similar to my LSA experience's so i felt more comfortable with this though it was alot better without any nausea and the visuals were pretty pronounced. I was experiencing euphoria once i got into the swing of it, MGMT was really uplifting and there were enough breathing objects in my room to keep me amused in the mean time. I was getting this ticklish feeling in my stomach which was making me laugh and could be brought on by stretching my back and legs. I was lying on bed for a while or it is more accurate to say i was rolling about in my bed, i kept getting tangled up in my blankets though and this was stressing me out, a couple of times i didn't no which direction to go to untangle myself. The trip took a turn for the worse at some point mainly because the weird feelings i was getting in my body and i had a weird taste in the back of my mouth which was reminiscent of extacy which i hate. I knew i was going into a bad trip and the more i tried to avoid it the worse it felt there was no kidding myself here. I was trying everything to avoid it but was just getting myself more and more disorientated. There was a couple of times i felt like going to the ER i was really close to it but i knew deep down this would be stupid and the reception i would have got wouldn't have been as sympathetic as i wanted it to be so i resisted but the problem was still there none the less so i needed to do something. I decided to start drawing which was the best decision i made, after about 20 minutes i was so engrossed in what i was doing i had completely forgot i was having a bad trip, as soon as i realized this i was over the moon, everything was going great again and i was so proud i never went to ER. It was like something just clicked and everything fell into place the introspection came on like a tsunami i felt i was being showered in gifts for not pussying out. I was still awake by 8.30 this morning though the effects had wore of by now, i was basiclly just basking in the glow. Very valuable trip for alot of personal reasons, very happy lol
Sounds like a pretty strong trip, definitely good you didnt opt to go the er. Sounds like the body tension and mindfuck was pretty strong. I do get a 'taste' in the back of my throat on LSD like I can only describe as metallic and my gums often feel dry and rubbery, never had a similar taste on e unless I snort it. Do you have any of your drawings to share?
Yeh the taste was like if i had snorted E i should of have added that lol im a bit shy of sharing my drawing unfortunately i feel they were pretty personal though i will tell you they were pretty fucked up lol they were a direct image of the fear i was feeling at the time, the best one i done was a very distorted picture of a being kind of squatting and cowering in a way to hide its face from something behind it, (i say being because it looked nothing like a human, i distorted it deliberately to express how bad i felt)
Well it was mainly the the body load that was fucking me up tbh the visuals were pretty strong at this point too and i couldnt seem to anchor myself, i never helped myself by not sitting still trying to avoid it because i was getting quite disorientated, actually at this point it nearnly reminded me of salvia you know that nervousness you get when the salvia kicks in and you try to escape it?? dunno if you'll get my drift by that but thats whet i felt like, kinda flailing it seemed lol
Sounds like the bad part of the trip turned out to be a test or a blessing in disguise. Glad you enjoyed it
Maybe you should just let the trip take control and just drift with it and let it flow if that happens again. I hear resisting isn't always the best idea. Drawing and playing instruments would sound like a good idea to me as well.
I've sometimes experienced flu like symptoms during onset; the early clinical studies mention this as well. Music and a warm blanket helped. It never lasts long, and I hardly give it a thought nowadays, and it is only occasional ... it does not seem to indicate poor quality or anything. Good adjustment btw.

i'd be interested in seeing those drawings as well. don't be shy if i ever feel a bad trip coming on like you described, i try to change my setting. like if i'm starting to lose it in my bedroom, maybe i'll go to the living room, or better yet, go for a walk. glad you got to experience LSD, and that you have 4 more delicious hits left!
