Psychedelic Bump XXXIV

Question for those of you who have experience with LSD (or 1P-LSD to be specific, although I've read that the effects are essentially identical):

If I dose at 6:00am - 6:30am, when can I expect to be functional again? Thinking of tripping tomorrow during the day, but I don't want to still be mid-trip when my wife gets home with my daughter at 4:00pm. I don't mind some residual effects, I'm not going to be hiding it from my wife or anything, but I don't want to be too spacey when interacting with my kid.

Thoughts?

 

The peak of the trip will likely be over but you may still experience some fairly pronounced effects by the 10 hour point. If you don't mind residual effects, I think you'll be 'functional' but if you're planning a substantial dose, that also can be a good time for reflection and integration.

 

I'm planning one taking one 125mcg blotter. The effects might be dulled a bit since I'm on a low dose SSRI at the moment as well. Not sure if I want to do it tomorrow or not. I might head out to go camping for a night or two and do it there instead.

 

I think the timing will be just right. By that far into it you will be fine interacting with family and it most likely will be very enlightening

The euphoria and hallucinations induced from eating Psilocybe “magic mushrooms” have earned the fungi a cult following. Sandoz chemist Albert Hofmann isolated and determined the structure of psilocybin, the main ingredient in mushrooms that leads to the psychedelic effects, nearly 60 years ago. That discovery and subsequent mind-altering experiments by Harvard University psychologist Timothy F. Leary have left scientists longing to develop a large-scale synthesis of the compound for medical uses, which include treating anxiety and depression in terminal cancer patients and treating nicotine addiction. Yet no one has been able to unravel the enzymatic pathway the mushrooms use to make psilocybin, until now.

 

Ended up going camping for a couple of nights and taking 1.5 of the 125mcg blotters because I was worried that one wouldn't be enough since I was on an SSRI.

Great experience, although it didn't last as long as I expected. I took it around 11am and was pretty much back to baseline by 5 or 6pm.

 

I found that when I was at the peak of the trip, I would kind of get lost in the headspace for a bit and then would kind of snap back to a period of lucidity when I would get distracted by a noise or get up and move to a new place. Are these lucid/functional periods normal, or do they go away with higher doses?

 

i've never taken that high of a dose...but on the peak of 4 decent blotters...or 2 great microdots, and again, during the peak - i might have a hard time walking or doing other simple things. but that period of being almost "incapacitated" doesn't last for too long.

for example, while hiking on that amount of L, i will need to take a break, and maybe lay down in the dirt because at that point i don't care - and i'm high enough to become one with the earth haha.

psychedelia does seem to come in waves, with waves of relative lucidity..but i imagine that probably goes away with even larger doses than what i'm talking.

interestingly, my acid trips these days seem to last only about 6 or 7 hours. i wonder how much 'LSD' is actually 1P-LSD or another similar lysergamide.

i'm glad you decided to take it while camping, eggon. that would have been my recommendation. you guys might remember my camping trip posts. this is the first summer in like 7 or 8 years that i didn't go camping at that same spot, where my brother and i were usually dropping L. we did go camping this spring out in the Arizona desert though, so that kinda makes up for it.

was that your first "real" experience on any lysergamide? i'd be interested to hear your thoughts

 

yeah, this was my first real experience. i had played around with microdosing a little bit and had attempted a full trip a few years back but the acid wasn't strong enough and it was underwhelming.

I was really surprised with how positive and happy I was during the entire experience - there were times where the trip felt almost like mdma, but without the speedy/jittery sort of feeling. I went into it for the purpose of thinking about some things that have been troubling me lately (anxiety, dealing with chronic pain, and depression) and I was able to come to a few realisations about the source of some of that pain and the ways in which I have been dealing with it in an unhealthy/nonproductive manner.

i'm still working on implementing some of the lessons into my life, which is proving harder than i had hoped. in the middle of the trip it all seems to make so much sense and seems like it will be easy to change, so it is a bit disappointing to come back down to earth and realize that even when I know what I need to do, it is still just as hard to change habits that I have developed over years and years.

overall though, it was a really positive experience. I will have a week in september where I'll be at home by myself, so I will likely plan to trip again then. I might up the dose a bit since I'll be in my own home by myself. I'm thinking of going for 2 tabs, so 250 mcg.

 

Bump for 50 mg 2cb and a Phish show. Because I am me I am looking for the true psychedelic experience from it.

 

Hell yeah, my friend went to that. 50mg is quite the dose! How was it?

 

yeah, i've only taken 2cb as high as ~45 mg and that was a hell of a trip. unfortunately, i get quite the headache on the comedown of 2cb, even at doses around 30 mg.
i wish i could find my trip report for this on the old HF

 

It was good and ended up being a fairly decent head trip. Still not as intense as LSD but I was beyond the therapeutic just feel good for a few hours kind of experience Shulgin had in mind I think. It was kind of a chaotic scene out there. For example nitrous tanks were being run in the open in the daylight feet from police in some cases. They usualy hide until after the show and go hard for 15 minutes after you walk out. But I heard they made a big effort to close all that down after the final show Sunday night. Kind of makes sense since that will be when they have the most cash to seize. That element is generly known as shady anyway just dealers with no interest in the music. So being around it gives me a bad vibe.

I really prefer this stuff to MDMA. It still gives me that wow the music sounds so good and I could talk to you for hours feeling just a little more natural feeling about it and I don't get a come down. A few other people in the group also took it some their first time so it made for a good experience.

 

I'm ordering some more 1P and plan on bumping my dose up a bit this time since I'll be doing it at home. Planning on taking 250ug this time. I'm on a much lower dose of my SSRI so I will have a lot less of it in my system by the time I trip in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping that it will be a stronger experience.

 

sounds like an overall cool time with the 2cb, anakin. kinda sketchy with the nitrous like you said, but dosing with a group of people and live music sounds like a blast to me. i took some 2cb with a friend (more like acquaintance) for a minus the bear show once. that was pretty fun. and 2ce for a couple of different shows...including minus the bear a different time
i think i took some 2cb to see built to spill as well. point is....i think those two phens work pretty well for a concert. LSD is a little more hit and miss for me personally, i've had some times on L at concerts where i kinda lost my cool. but i've also had the best times on L at small festivals...which is probably more like the vibe of a Phish show.

i haven't seen phish before, but i've been listening to some of their live stuff recently. one of my tripping buddies is a huge phish fan, and used to go on about how they improvise or "jam" ...i am just now appreciating how cool that really is. like how their album songs are just a 3 or 4 minute "skeleton" to hang a 16 minute live version on. got any favorite recordings on youtube? like my friend would be like "this is the best version of piper that they ever played" and proceed to throw it on youtube.

...kinda makes me wanna did into my little 2cb stash. but with my schedule, a dmt trip is probably more like it - all i would have time for.

i found those 2cb trip reports of mine. 36 mg and 43.8 mg, if anyone is interested in (re)reading

 

what's the expected potency compared to LSD? i'm guessing it's a bit less potent, but do you know a percentage?

so many psychedelics, not enough time.

 

probably my favorite phish jam..
amazing what an E-chord and A-chord can explode into ..

Not really sure, actually. I've read both that the effects are nearly identical, but also that 1P is a bit stronger but has a shorter duration. Depends on the source.

In my experience it does seem to have a shorter duration than what I would expect from LSD-25, but that could also be influenced by my SSRI (cipralex). Unfortunately I do not have experience with LSD-25, so I can't really compare the intensity or similarity of effects.

 

I found 1 hit of 1P-LSD comparable in intensity to 1 hit of red star microdot LSD.

 

DMT talk on Secureteam .. Most the stuff we all be over 100times. The video go on to say the machine would be some kinda DMT injection and allow the subject to communicate with Aliens or God. blah blah..
