Psychedelic Bump XXII

i think i'm gonna pull a GB....trip and go to my local library

it's gonna be the huge one downtown though, not the smaller one that is closer to where i live. they have the book i want at the one downtown. i think i'll dose 18 or 20 mg miprocin, take a shower for the comeup, listen to some music, and then ride my bike to the library.
then i'm gonna go with my wife to this tea room that is really fancy and decorated.

 

o_o..

 

So yesterday/today before midnight I cut a 1/4 of one of those blotters (which btw were the bottom of a picture that I'm pretty sure is one of those tarot sun) rub it against my lips and mouth for like 30seconds and no really bitter or weird taste or numbing sensation, so I took the remaining 3/4 right away.
I felt it coming up for the first 2hours, it felt a bit weird but pleasant I loved the music, i listened to a lot of psych rock, I had a weird feeling in my stomach, but it was ok. During this part, the feeling I had was different if I was in my small dull toilet or lying on bed or listening to one song or another. I had no real hallucination like I had on mdma (ie seeing stuffs that aren't there) but some things could look weird, like they were about to morph but didn't, it was more about the impression I had from looking at them.
At this point I had no real energy, actually I was tired and had to move to not fall asleep, I knew it was still coming up, so I kept listening to music. But somehow I was feeling time passing, and it was heavy, and I thought it was weird and cool but not that crazy, i felt a little bored, the music was kind of slowing me also. That was what I had feared the most, getting bored during the experience because I was really just alone in my apartment at night with not so much to do.
At this point the whole thing changed, I knew it was gonna last for hours, and I wanted to enjoy it, so I couldn't just get bored (things felt more intense than usual, so being bored was more unpleasant than usual). I stopped the music, paused and thought about what was the situation - or rather 'what condition my condition was in'. Where was I ? Doing what? and why ?
But it was not about the trip, not about wondering what it was doing to me, if I was enjoying it, feeling good or bad, or if stuff looked like this or that, I just looked around. And, well, everything seemed normal, like it had all gone away, I felt 'sober', normal. There were things I liked, things i didn't like, questions I could turn over in my head for hours putting a lot of words, ideas to it, and some other things about which I didn't know what to think. Nothing had changed, but I realized I was ok with all that. I just had to be here, live the moment.
I would have wanted to say from this point [3-4am] that I was not tripping anymore, that I was just living like usual in a great mood, but at the same time I was dancing and laughing at everything I looked for more than 3seconds. There was euphoria but I was very clear headed.
I didn't had to go into a big complex trip, meditating about big ideas and questionings and all. The trip was not a trip to some imaginary place for away, it was an opportunity to experience everyday reality with clear new eyes.
From there the trip stopped fluctuating, there were no more 'effects' just a new perception. It was like when you're in a good mood and get a little euphoria from listening to some music and dance a little, except this state of mind was permanent. At first I was trying to put it in words, thinking about how I could explain that to somebody, then I just danced to some music, cooked some rice, watched an american dad episode (the eps in which stan goes inside roger's mind ^^), went on the internet. Time passed quickly but not in a strange way (nothing was strange or weird anymore), and around 8/9am I decided I didn't look too high anymore so I went out for a walk. This felt really great, I just took a little tour around my city (lots of old monuments and beatiful places with trees and plants (little parcs)) for half and hour and went back, smoked a last joint and slept like a baby.
Today I'm still feeling very well, like I'm more ' sober ' than I was yesterday. I'm actually glad about the way I planned it, there were some moments when I wouldn't have wanted to be at a rave for example, doing it alone allowed me to take the time to understand the experience. Next time I want to do it outside, but I'm not thinking about it for now.

PS : Sorry if this is long and probably hard to understand sometimes, it's still hard to put in words, and english isn't my mother tongue, so I just wrote it down without rereading.

 

^ A higher dose will provide stronger visuals with more pronounced cognitive and emotional changes.

Hooray for tripping at the library!


I was shown an interesting article, I will definitely make a day out there and be roaming Golden Gate Park in December or if we have some decent rain before then looking for these...

Yeah that's what I thought too, I also think being in an environment I could control (put the music I want, pause it when I want) also made it easier on me, I'm sure it would have been stronger if I had been in a rave with music, peoples and lights. But I'm really happy with that first trip. I feel very clear, kind of like when you're doing maths and have formulas everywhere and then recopy it all on a new paper, nothing has changed but it's more clear. That and a great mood!
I still have 3 left (actually 4 but I'll give one to a friend), so maybe I'll do one at a show (i felt the need for some trance these last few days) and 2 alone but I'll have to find a cool place outside, find the right moment and place

 

that sounds like a quality LSD experience my man.
very cool!

 

amanita..

 

so 18-20 mg was the perfect amount of miprocin for yesterday. i actually couldn't tell if it was 18 or 20 mg, because my scale was bouncing around a little.

i ate it, hopped in the shower, and then left for the tea place. we got "full afternoon tea" which was a selection of finger sandwiches (things like crumbly blue cheese and pear), cheese, quiche, cookies, dried cranberries and a chocolate covered strawberry, and a scone with cream and jam to spread on it. ...and a bottomless pot of "caribe" tea - black and green teas flavored with strawberry and guava. everything was absolutely delicious. and the place is set up like a little girl's fantasy or something, with fancy hats and tea stuff all over - it was like a real life alice in wonderland tea party haha.

then my wife dropped me back at home and i rode my bike downtown to the library. and i guess that's pretty much all i'll say. i'll let my pictures do the rest of the talking.







the fall scenery was pretty kick ass too.

 

A friend is about to try his first 25i experience. Hasn't tripped anything in about six years. He is going to do one tab. I did two tabs of the same batch this spring and had what was for me a medium-intensity trip. He is happy to do just a small dose and doesn't mind if the experience isn't mindblowing.

Two questions he did want to know the answer to:
(1) Does 25i-sensitivity correlate to body weight?
(2) Does anybody have experience w/ keeping 25i over a long period? Does it lose potency over time? I've been keeping the tabs in a non-airtight baggy, around room temperature, in a dark drawer. Anybody have experience about this?

We have a good setting and, although he is nervous about returning to psych's after so long, his mindset is otherwise good. Wish us luck!

 

in general, i think that the effects of psychedelics don't depend much on body weight. for 25-i, i would say that it's too new to be able to tell.

as far as it's stability...it's probably quite stable at room temperature, especially compared to LSD.

 

psychs dont care about body weight. dont give the dude more because hes fat.. OMGS.. no..

phens would last forever in moderate storage..

 

bump for 40mg 2C-e last night.

3 yrs or so and mine was good as day one. :2thumbsup:

 

Bump for 2 hits of LSD (Hoffman, Alex grey) tonight

Yeee-haaa!

 

whoa! how was that? your highest dose yet?

 

it was good, scattered and hard to keep the trip 'making sense', if that makes sense, but it was good. ~52 is the strongest -e trip i've had, this one was just... nice...
but ya, refrig/freeze your pea's. i've had good results with that so far.

 

Hey HF! Still a lot of familiar faces. Sending positive vibes for everyone! I've been a little hiatus. I just got my first official Chef gig. Its a respectable chef driven restaurant group based out of San Francisco. Been very caught up in that. I lurk here from time to time. All is well and I wish the same for you guys. The community here is something we need more in this world!

 

Bump LSD.

 

:2thumbsup:

nice to hear life is good !

 

good to hear good things from you, chen.

did you mean you were on a hiatus from tripping or from HF?

 

Kind of both. Not that there was a personal reason not to. It just came down to having enough time. With only one day off a week it's hard to commit to any psychedelic besides DMT. One day is technically enough but not when instead of thinking five steps ahead when your a line cook, it goes to ten when your managing. So I took advantage of the free time to myself. I started seeing girls again also. I'm legitimately trying to find a healthy balance between doing what I love and my personal life. There's more to existence than work. I personally think its important to contribute to the community but you have to have balance. Namaste everyone!
