Mountain High -LSD Trip Report

This was my fourth experience on LSD, and probably the best one yet. I didn't learn the most, but I have never had sooo much fun in my life, I only hope that these upcoming words will paint a picture vivid enough for others to love.

I had this trip planned for awhile with a friend who wanted to try LSD for his first time. We'll refer to him as (B). Along with him, we brought someone who has tried acid once (S) and then we had our "designated driver" (T).

Now we all live in Colorado, and what is Colorado famous for? Skiing, well yes, but even more so, the mountains in general. So we all planned to drive around with T to the mountains and hike around, you know just have a good time. Being B's first time, I wanted to show him what this drug has to offer and to make it a great time.

We all met up at T's house to get ready for our journey at about 10 in the morning, say bye to the parentals and whatever. We were actually going to do a hike, so we had an excuse to be out all day. So we got into T's car and we headed off to the grocery store where we dropped the acid. I did 4, S 2+1/2 and B 3. We knew it was going to take at least 30mins, more likely more to hit, so we went to the grocery store sucking on blotter while getting supplies. Just a couple of bottles of water, I like to get juice, and we grabbed an orange, because as I've read on this forum citrus and acid is like peanut butter and jelly.

So we got our stuff and went back to the car where we rode up to the mountains to get onto a path. About an hour after consumption B and S started to feel their first effects. We had music in the car and it was flowing!! As we went through the windy roads we had a great time just looking out the window, I felt the effects a bit later on, but it was still very subtle. Music got a bit louder and more clear, color was sharper but not neon as I have previously experienced. One thing about Colorado is that there are a bunch of little mountain towns you pass through on the highway, and it was really funny seeing them. The second and third one looked exactly the same and B,S, and I all thought we went through the same place while T thought we were crazy. Anyways, not much happened until we parked at the mountain trail and started to climb.

When we parked I remember seeing all of the other people around us and going oh shit were going to look like idiots... But to be honest, who's going to look at someone and think, What the hell? I think those kids are tripping acid!? I mean let's be honest, some young adults having fun is just going to look natural, so we didn't fret too much. The second I stepped foot out of that car though, things got WAY trippier!! I felt my body high and moving was feeling kind of weird. We packed our backpacks, put on some jackets and went into the mountains! Now B brought some weed with him for us to smoke, and T was going to smoke a LOT too so he didn't feel to left behind. As we climbed up part of the trail, we made sure no one was near us and then ran off trail to some rocks to light up. On our way I found this pine needle that was glowing green yellow and red. And it was the WEIRDEST thing!! As S pointed out, we could all see it glowing, but it was the only pine needle glowing, the only fucking one... out of all of the pine needles!!

So we got behind the rock and started to smoke a bowl, I only took like 2 puffs from a piece, and omg that was some DANK WEED! and it tasted REALLY good on acid. Parts of this trip I was unaware of what was the weed and what was the LSD, they synced together so perfectly. I had my ipad with me which I brought for the hike, so we would listen to some trippy shit while walking and sitting down and stuff. After we smoked the weed, we kind of hung out for just a bit as the acid started to pick up a lot, and we saw patterns everywhere. We then took note at the path, and saw a group of adults looking our way, so we decided to run the fuck away!! This is where all the magic of the trip finally began, and we were all wondering if T was someone how dragged into our worlds for some of the trips...

After running away from this possibly suspicious adults (they very well likely smelt the weed...) we found this rock we hid behind that looked like it was straight out of halo, we hid behind "the bunker" spying at the path, until they passed on. We then walked a bit to have some fun, and every step was so powerful. The enviornment looked different every cm you moved... It was funny how we would walk like 5 feet be in a new world, walk some more. This pattern lasted for a little bit. then we looked back to see we moved like 15 feet from "bunker" and we cracked up!! we didn't even have to hike, this was the journey HAHA!! We started running again as we saw another family spot us out.

We stopped running and every single step we were in another world.. it was intense, T was pretending like he had like a sniper rifle or something, and it felt like I stepped into Call of Duty very literally. The weed made things hazy, and VERY dream like, so I didn't really overthink anything like you would normally, you just went with what you were given. And so we stepped into these worlds. I remember the atmosphere of the wind making me feel like it was all in my head, and walking felt so weird, I thought we were all just walking inside of my brain, as the electrical circuits triggered this "reality" or maybe dream, because it really felt like a dream state. I remember LSD feeling like a dream!! but since we were all just saying weird shit and acting like we were in Lord of the Rings or some fantasy, it really felt like a dream. And at other times when the weed was just making us giggle every once in awhile, those long pauses seemed like dream characters, I felt as if my friends were just part of my imagination, and we were just walking along in this dream fantasy world.

We soon found our way back to the path and had to take a breather on the side. It was funny watching people pass us, because time was going sooo slow, and when they passed we would just say hello while tripping our balls off!! and being high like no other haha!! We stopped by the side of the path and put shpongle on, and that took us for a ride. We played doorset perception and Star sphongled banner (possibly my two favs) and we laughed so much when the voices started in dorset perception. What shpongle is good at is loosing you in a melody and then all of the sudden people sing and your like WOW!! We then started to walk the path a bit, and listened to trippy music. We also stared at some trippy pictures I downloaded from the internet because they were soo meaningful!

whenever another family or group of people passed by us, we had to make SUCH an effort to look normal, we would put on an act like oh hey, when do you guys want to eat lunch? and what ever, and to be honest, I was VERY surprised how well we could keep up a conversation... We started to climb again, and I put on The Beatles I am the Walrus. It was hilarious, we went out of our minds dancing up the mountain and stuff. And we'd stop for no reason every once in awhile to just stare off the mountain, or at the patterns in nature. B found some flower plant growing that he'd just smell over and over!! he loved it, and to be honest it smelt kind of good. We then listened to Strawberry Fields Forever, as we felt this dream sensation. We had a pretty good view now, and the scenery bubbled in waves with the music and the foothills far away were like cartoons. T had to keep getting us to focus on the actual hike as we found it so hard to not appreciate all this beauty we were around!! haha

We then actually found this dope hang out spot a bit off the path where we sat down and brought out food to eat. It was like a bit uphill from the path, and circled out with the rocks. So we could see the path, and if you walked up the trail and turned your head it was very easy to notice us, we were trying to be natural, and not sketchy. It isn't odd to see someone eating... I got a vitamin water and that orange, and I don't know how they did it, but B and S actually had some food to eat. I don't know about anyone else, but I CAN NOT eat while on acid... I just can't... We would talk, and crack up soo much!! For some reason on acid, when you laugh, you laugh hard!!! We'd fall over laughing soo much as we said the weirdest things!! Oh man, that orange in itself was an experience, peeling it was like the most difficult thing, and then I'd just hold onto the pieces and feel the furry fibers run through my skin. And the juice was incredible!! We were smoking the citrus!

I remember seeing this biker guy come down, and we had to turn down the trippy music, and we made it obvious we were just eating, nothing else.. shh.. and it was so funny, because this old biker dude was just stopping holding onto this tree while were sitting there, he was stretching and shit, possibly listening to what were saying. And he's just there for ages doing nothing... then all of this sudden, what feels like 30 minutes late this other biker comes in, talks to the other one and they're back down the mountain. We're just like "oohh " laughing our asses off as we all had the same thought!

So we then climbed up this rock formation that was I think at the top. It was SOO much fun, it was such a climb, it felt like Lord of the Rings again. And the view was so incredible!! I remember thinking that having an experience to trip while in Egyptian ruins would be the greatest sensation ever!! I remember some of the rocks took form of Egyptian like themes, including the sphinx and possibly hieroglyphics. We found this cool rock cave formation that looked much like the little crack in the earth you see in 127 hours. We went down there and the weirdest fucking thing happened as we just danced in the rocks. And stared at the rocks laughing our asses off. And we then all seemed to hit reality at the same time as we looked back and were like "what the fuck just happened?" as if we shagged in the rocks. Something about this lycean (sp?) [green algae like fungus] that grows on the rock felt really psychedelic and 1970s-ish was appealing to me as I stared at it. It was like an underwater seaweed just floating on the rock (now keep in mind this was on a dry rock, not even near a river or anywater)

We then got out of this rock and onto the top to look at the view. The wind was SOO strong it was like a deep vibration of nature telling us to be careful, so we didn't stay long as there were even more people at this part. It was weird, because being off trail so much it was strange to find people no matter where we turned..

So we decided to head back to the car, and this is like 3-4 hours into our trip, we still had a lot to go, we then went back. And for some reason all of us had NO idea where to go, aside from T of course. We were laughing about how we saw trails everywhere, like we see every possibility of where to go, we just need the one, "THE WAY!!" *bow down* T helped us back, and it was funny how walking back, we "relived" parts of our trip, it was as if we went through this mind loop. It was as vivd as the first walk up... We passed this one tree near the rocks that had a bra and pants hanging on it, and it was near a cavey like portion of the rocks. Were like 99% sure that we passed a couple fucking in the rocks!! haha. So we walk down, and people are weird, as we walked by them it felt like off of that Doors album cover "strange days". I had two thoughts for every person we passed. One feeling was like it meant nothing at all, I'm just passing my self in another place and time. And the feeling made me feel as if I sensed and felt the presence of these other peoples worlds wel walking by.

So we walked down and to us the paths were endless, we couldn't find our way back if it weren't for T, and it was funny as we were walking and heard this walkie-talkie static buzz. I freaked out a bit as if the law were out to get us for smoking... and we looked behind us as it was the park rangers.. OH SHIT i though, T being precautions said to us, "hey, how about we go check out this loop and then head back to the car" The park rangers passed us, we said hi. And they were on their way. I don't know if they heard about the marijuana smoke or if it was just a coincidence but that was scary shit!! We then headed back to the car. and I remember that walk taking ages. Since we were off path for most of our way up, we didn't "relive" any of our way down, or have a sense of distance to where the car was. I remember us talking about how this is life should be. The freedom to get stoned and experience such a great time in the mountains freely. Just live life and learn from your experiences, it was really great! We loved it! We then saw the parking lot appear out of NO WHERE!! It was insane, so we got back into the car, and put on some music. T was still a little too high on weed to feel comfortable to drive, so we just sat back and listened to some music.

We finally started to drive off, and this time the drive was much more intense, I think we were at our peak here. Maybe a little before the car, but we just sat back as the drive felt very fast! Every single car I saw looked like a cop car. Like it transformed shape and color into a cop car until it got closer enough to us so I could see it for real. I stared out the window as the rocks and clouds synced with the music. The clouds have a very trippy effect as they made the world look more than just round... We passed some cottage, and for some reason, stones have the coolest effect to me while on LSD, it was the greatest house, it was like a kingdom!! So beautiful! We then pulled up to some Red Rocks (Not THE Red Rocks amphitheater, but a close area, where climbing the rocks isn't actually illegal.)

Out of the car, we found this random path that was in the middle of nowhere that we climbed up and it was strange as we looked up the mountain, it got taller every time we looked away then back up. I then spotted this "HUGE BEAST" on the rocks on the other side of us, and B and S saw it with me, kind of freaking out, and T points out as it is just a dog running around, but for some reason to all of us it looked bigger than it should have been for being so far away that it was strange. Which reminds me thinking of this person that was riding a horse on the mountain we were last on. I guess that is something you can do, but that is when I thought I was out my mind as I saw this person on a huge animal. Anyways S got hungry again... and of course T was hungry. so we got back into the car to pick up fast food. I remember that's when S said: "That's why they invented fast food. To get your food fast then continue back to being stoned." haha

So we parked in the parking lot and B and I decided to stay in the car while B and T got a burrito from Chipotle. I guess we set off some sort of alarm, cause the car started flashing and beeping on us while they were away. It was so funny, the car is just flashing for the public to see as were tripping in the back seat. Not knowing what to do, we just ignore it... haha and start drawing and stuff just thinking. What felt like 15 minutes later S and T come back as they scream "you guys are retarded! You were just sitting back in the car while it went off this whole time, doing nothing to stop it!?" haha I remember S saying something like how he was surprised how he could keep his cool in the store, and that he saw this hippie guy that he felt like he connected with somehow. Anyways they ate a bit as I drew and let B mess with my iPad.

Now I want to break up this report to say a little something. Anyone unexperienced in psychedelics who has heard the myth that people think they can fly while on LSD, or do something stupid like open a car door while it's driving. THAT'S A LIE, and anyone who has ever done that, is a FUCKING RETARD!! You have a lot of control on this drug, and though precautions and saftey should be used, it doesn't make you kill yourself...


Anyways after eating we weren't sure what to do, so we drove off and parked at some neighborhood to go to a park (like a playground) so we went to this playground to smoke some more weed, and it was strange. Still having some dream-like effect, it felt as if this dream existed only for that moment and no other reason what so ever, just like a dream place exists as. And we for sure got spotted, but who really cares? We smoked a bowl on the play equipment then got the fuck out of there as some people clearly saw us. We then drove off closer to T's house as we parked in some trail as the night grew dark. Street lights started to come on, and the world seemed like a whole other place at night. For some reason I would say night is trippier than day. I don't know why, at all. But it feel trippier, because even in my previous experience it felt trippier at night. Anyways we parked at this place while T had to call his parents. We had to go home in like an hour and B, S, and I are all still tripping. We were alone in this parking lot, and we saw this bathroom house thing that was breathing while colored like a cartoon. I had to take a piss, and I love peeing on LSD, it takes long, and you think so deep. Just while taking a piss.

I come back to the parked car, and S put's on this folk music with a banjo and we all just start square dancing in the parking lot for no reason as T comes back from the phone call just breathless at how weird that was. And then B, S, and I smoke another bowl for the come down and it was nice. It was a very smooth effect. I'd say that smoking on the come down made it soothing and just a little more trippier for the end bits. The street lights got more vibrant and colorful for me immediatly after smoking, and it was nice because every exhale of breath i had on the car ride home felt like it carried some pot smoke in it.

But before we went home, we just went to the grocery store real quick to get some doughnuts for T. Now walking in the grocery the first time didn't seem to have any significance, but this time, it felt so weird as we relived our morning (the beginning of the trip, and now at the end) it felt really deep for some reason, all the symbolism behind it. People at kings didn't have any clue, even though we felt so weird. Luckily our day and age has self check outs, so you never HAVE to deal with other people.

Now back at T's house we had an experience, we quickly rushed to T's bedroom to get our hiking clothes off to avoid any suspicion of smoking and come downstairs. Now T's family was about to have dinner, we didn't have to eat with them, but we had to get something to eat in front of them. T's brother knew we were tripping, and is silently laughing his ass off at us (he kept a good act though) and we make these AWESOME pot stickers! Now I don't like to eat on acid, but to keep an image, i went for it, and it was SOO good, and surprisingly possible to eat. Although each pot sticker was an experience..!! haha After eating I went to put my plate away, and the world got all Alice and Wonderland on me as I was very tall in this small house. And T's mom was there so I had to act like it was nothing. S kept bringing up how we shouldn't be afraid to be in front of others, because not a single person know's what is going on in your head.

T mentioned how we should go in the hot tub which was a good idea so we could be away from his family looking casual while the acid wears off a little more. So we get into some bathing suits and sit outside in his hot tub. and it was incredible!! The night sky is just so lovely while tripping L! The moon is vibrant, the clouds are colorful, and psychedelicly patterned, and the reflections of the hot tub's water was out of this world. We just sat back and talked, and again, even just talking about random shit, I was stunned how easily we could hold a conversation. On my first experience I remember thinking in so many tangents, and you still do, but for some reason we could all talk on a focused topic. We mentioned how it was cool how we could communicate with each other throughout this trip while not actually saying anything to each other. And how we all could relate to the world. Just had a nice chat. We were now at the come down stages of the trip as time slowed the fuck down. Now I know I mentioned that on the mountain time could feel slow, but everything was also so in the moment where as now we could think more... clearly I guess you could say. And things were actually slower, movements of others, voices, sounds, and so forth.

S had to leave now, and B and I were going to sleep at T's house for the night. So we go down to the basement and set up some beds, and turn on the TV where Lord of the Rings was playing! OMG!! yeah! That movie HAD to have been inspired by LSD, the shire was so trippy!! and watching the hobbits run around with the bigger sized people made B and I CRACK UP!! it was hilarious! It was like another fantasy's take on Alice in Wonderland with the size proportion thing being skewed. Now I was texting a friend that I text on all of my trips and his. And his last trip, the day before I was telling him about ego-death as I am very interested in it. Not knowing about it, he wanted to try it. So he texted back to me this cool idea that he tried where he just sat in the closet in COMPLETE darkness and he felt like he got close to it. So B and I tried that. It was very strange, I suggest others to try this. The dark blinded your sense of sight, but it didn't make the visuals go away, it was like you could control the visuals also. This was a very important part of the trip now that time was going slow, where B and I talked about the experience. The first part being so in the moment, this felt like a reflection/reactionary phase of the trip where we talked about what we learned and loved. What we see and want to see in the world. I was very glad to see that it opened up B's mind to the world and showed him the idea of perspective.

So T getting a little scared, came to open up the closet door to see if we were okay, we walked out and came back to Lord of the Rings. Walking back into the light made things way trippier. The world seemed to just flow together. T was getting tired, so we turned off the TV and got ready to sleep. I took out my iPAD and headphones and listened to slowed down music on my ipad haha. The Beatles are fucking incredible on the come down of the trip, the music feels slow, and you pick out every melody of the song. I even love the songs that I don't normally listen to sober, just because they are so fantastic. I then slowly drifted to sleep to wake up the next morning back in reality! It was such an amazing experience!! I love the world of LSD, and as always wish to return to another insightful love of this state in the near future! I hope this was as enjoyable as it was long... I would shorten it, but it just all felt so incredible!

Peace and Love,
Black Lotus

 

Sounds like a magical time. Glad to hear you were safe with a designated driver and stuff. Good on you dude.
Good story, too much to comment on so I"ll keep it short.

Trip skill #1. Setting. Take note of how that seemingly minor change totally changed your trip at that moment. Good thing to understand.

:2thumbsup:

Next time you're around a bunch of rocks on a voyage, think about this cartoon. You'll journey through time.

nice video voyage

ahahahahaha, YES!

ok, now i'll read on...



sounds like a really awesome time/trip!

 

lmao

 

Great trip report! That was a fun read, made me want to trip again soon. I love hiking on LSD. I've done it a few times in NH and it's definitely my favorite way to spend a day tripping. Never been to CO but have always wanted to check out the Rockies, perhaps I'll search for some LSD once I finally get out there!

I had to laugh at the LOTR part, I've totally watched that coming down off acid and it was great! Trippy as hell and way more intense. I wasn't even a huge fan of the movies sober but I've had a new found appreciation for them ever since :2thumbsup:

 

Cool report, really gotta get my hands on some Lucy

Awesome vid as well, Voyage. I love short animations, with a decent message they can really hit home.

 

Sounds well planned and plenty of things to do. Day tripping, night trippin, hiking, your friends place, etc. bomb food too. :O

 

Cool trip report Lotus.

 

I put that pine needle there.... so glad somebody spotted it.

 

Awesome

 

Voyage i watched the Brother video after that one and i dont know how someone would be able to watch that without getting suicidal thoughts lol

 

Sounds like you enjoyed your trip. Sounds like a much more recreational trip than your previous LSD trips which exemplifies the importance of set and setting and the versatility of LSD but sounds like a great time with your friends.

You highlighted many of the reasons I don't enjoy smoking weed on LSD, it sort of just changes things into a more goofy, go with the flow type trip and takes away some of the challenging elements for me.

You have a very good way of explaining some of the perceptions and sensations of LSD and this trip sounded like the primary highlights were the sensorial effects.

 

really enjoyed reading that, sounds like you had a good time!

 

Are you referring to the Younger Brother- Crumblenaut song?

I listened to that song on a mescaline trip and it was absolutely amazing! The plants around me were all dancing to the beat and it turned up the trip a notch into this mystical type feeling.

 

"I felt as if my friends were just part of my imagination, and we were just walking along in this dream fantasy world."

i get this too.it's as if i have multi personalities,but instead of them being in my head there out there running around.
