The trip of my life... (long but good)

So it was Friday the 13th and we had the perfect setting, we were ready. I've tripped countless amounts of times on various psychedelics but never did I experience something like this. It was around 10pm when I dropped 3 extremely strong hits of LSD at a friends cabin on the river. And then it all began. First I took a walk outside to the river not 40ft behind the house. I quickly realized it looked so heavenly. I saw every color and every pattern vividly spinning and spiraling. I began to look deeply into the reflection the trees were giving off into the river and remember saying "there is so much in there", and words cannot explain what I saw. I saw a lot of faces and people, every shadow or cast of light would present an abundance of faces and all these faces had different expressions. I then saw twinkles and quick lines of light throughout the water as if it were some sort of wild firework show.

I realized the water seemed very inviting, it looked almost as if I could walk on it. Knowing I was under a powerful influence, I chose not to walk on the water, of course. Me and a buddy started throwing rocks into the water just watching how far the ripples would go out, and the moon reflecting made it so extraordinary. I walked to the edge of the dock and layed on my stomach with my arms hanging off. I dipped my arms into the water and the colors began. Every color in the spectrum was vibrating off my arms as I moved them softly through the water. I noticed an amazing feeling as I sifted my arms across the top, feeling lighter than ever before. As I moved my arms in and out I caused the most colorful ripples that moved throughout the water, I couldn't stop doing this. Soon I realized I was having too much fun with the river and there was much more to see and do.

I sat up and took a seat on the steps of the dock gathering my thoughts, and taking in this beautiful moment. I couldn't even begin to explain the feeling of happiness and excitement I was having for undergoing such a colorful and amazing experience. The trip has just begun. I walked back inside to find my friends tripping and enjoying themselves to music and even hacky sack. Although I couldn't quite play hacky sack at the moment because I felt like my body was no longer a necessity on this adventure. I sat back in the comfortable chair and began to look around the room. I said to my friends "it's going to be a long ride". I've tripped hard on mushrooms here before, and most of the room looked very familiar. As the wooded ceilings and floors turned and twisted. Then the lights went off.

My one buddy decided to turn the lights out, and it was the greatest idea ever. There we sat, complete darkness, the only lights were emitting from the digital display on the radio. The music was sending vibrations and colors and all sorts of geometrical patterns off itself. I then felt the strength to stand up and enjoy this feeling of ecstasy. The music and colors and feelings reminded me of those I've read about in psych trance concerts and ecstasy use. Although never have used ecstasy, I for some reason felt like this was it. It was beautiful. I couldn't stop putting my hands together and bringing them to my face and holding back the happiness tears. I kept saying beautiful, because that's the only word that could fit this picture at the time.

As we walked around and felt the vibrations of the music I soon realized I passed the peak of my trip because I felt one with my body again. I decided to finally eat a pack of starbursts I had bought earlier, and whilst still in the dark, shared them among friends. We all sat in a circle, the three of us, I passed out starbursts and decided it would be fun to guess the flavor without seeing, this is when I was thrown for a real loop. The flavors emitted whatever was going on in my head. For example, the first one I ate I tasted some sort of raspberry lemonade kiwi combination, the second a cigarette. This must have been due to the ashtray being right in scent distance, but it caught be very off guard. Also every starbust I ate ranged in size, or so it seemed. The first one normal, the second much smaller, the third almost felt round, and starbusts are not round..

I sat back enjoying the darkness and all the color changing, the music seemed to be on my side and played everything I wanted to hear it seemed. Even a very long remix to a favored song of mine that really made things exciting. With all this excitement I didn't realize I drank my entire jumbo sized bottle of water, and had to take many frequent trips to the bathroom, this was a trip in itself because going from the darkness and being used to that feeling, then the lights and having to accomplish a task of urinating seemed extremely funny. As I urined colors into the toilet I realized this was some of the best acid I have ever done. And although it was about 5 or so hours in, I was still tripping very hard.

Now this is where it got extremely weird. The ego was returning in some of my friends, much quicker than it did for me. As the birds started singing their music awaiting the sun to come up, we decided to grab chairs and sit and watch outside. I sat back in my chair and watched the trees. I was fascinated by them, I can't put words to what I saw in all the trees, but it was much more real and intense than anything inside the house. There was a rainbow of colors radiating off of them and into infinity throughout the sky. As we sat there I mentioned the birds, toads and sounds of the river flowing was like natural music to the ears. But then this is where the trip took a whole new turn and changed my life forever.

I sit here 12 hours after this with chills and struggle trying to put what happened into words. The birds were laughing at us. As we sat comfortably watching mother nature entertain us a weird feeling flowed throughout my body, and this wasn't a normal one, or one I've ever felt in any of my psychedelic trips. The birds were laughing, I felt very frightened almost and I'm not sure why I had this paranoia. I glanced at my friends and they seemed to have been feeling the same, quickly in a non-joking matter we returned into the house which at the time felt like the safe zone. As I was calming down from this weird happening a bird somehow made its way into the room and flew throughout it. Although I was not as scared, I somehow felt it was for a reason, and as this bird couldn't get out I felt scared for it. Feeling weak from the acid and excitement I sat and just watched this bird fly around the room trying to find its way out. I felt for some reason I didn't have to help it, and it went right out of what appeared to be an entrance into the room, and then I knew the entire time the birds knew how to come in and out. There was a hole in the corner of the screen, it was all normal, but it seemed very odd.

All of a sudden as I stared at the playing cards on the table I felt like I was living an Alice in Wonderland trip. I was still tripping very hard and things were still moving as they were all night, but a very odd feeling flowed throughout me almost like this was death and I was dying. I felt kind of sick and everyone also said how they really wanted to go home. This scared me into wanting to go home. I felt as a human being for that instant something inside of me said this is not right, something is coming. I never felt feelings like this before in my life, and they were extremely strong. I quickly ran inside to gather all of our things to leave, we jumped in the car me in the back seat, my friends up front, ready as ever to get the hell out of there we couldn't find the keys. As I sat in the back seat my friends ran back inside to find them and I sat there alone. I looked around and the windows began to fog a lot, and I started to sweat heavily. I reached down to open the door but the child lock was on, and I couldn't get out. A feeling came over me once again and I felt like this was a test, when all of a sudden I glanced in the mirror and saw what I thought was a ghost behind the car, slowly walking up and I even heard the most frightening sounds of footsteps more scary and real than any horror movie in my life. As I tried to control my thinking I felt like I was in control of everything going on. For some reason at that moment I zoned out into a pattern of thoughts I realized I had to get out of this car or I was going to die of the sweat and dry mouth. I couldn't move. I felt like I was dead but still seeing. My heart felt like it stopped and so did life itself. I sat there in infinity and eternity and knew what hell felt like.

(continued below)

 

For the first time in my entire life, mentally I begged for God. I begged I would be okay, I begged my friends would be okay, I begged for this to end, I still couldn't move. I looked around the car sweating and then it hit me that I needed to go home to be with my family. Somehow the strength came out of nowhere and I propelled myself to the front seat, unlocking the doors and excaping the car. Without my friends nowhere in sight I felt all alone in the world and made way for my house. Despite me being over 40 miles away, I felt I could walk the distance, and I had to. As I walked down the road I felt like God was guiding me. I smiled. I kept walking foward realizing the birds were on each side of me and even ahead. (i'm getting tremendous chills). Ahead I saw deer, and they were just staring at me, I kept walking and thinking that it would be a very long walk, but almost fufilling, so I proceeded on.

As I did the sign of the cross I felt I was saved. And this never felt more natural to me. But I wasn't. I left my friends. I left my friends back at the house, they were still looking for the keys. I felt another odd feeling flow throughout my body and it told me to go back, to help my friends as they could still be going through the same thing. I turned around and headed back. On my way I really felt one with God and it was beautiful, I felt I was a creator and this walk was for reason. As I walked back I heard nature as I never heard it before. The birds were walking in front of me, hopping along with me as I hiked back to the house. I looked down the driveway and there were my friends, I yelled "yo" to signal to them I was okay.

I went back into the house, they asked where I went and they still couldn't find the keys. I sat back down feeling so nauseated from everything that was hitting me. I felt overwhelmed with knowledge. The three of us came together to the table again and began to relax. All of a sudden any thought in my mind was being created in this reality. For example, when I thought negative thoughts I heard the house creek very loudly. I began to think this was the devil making his presence known. I glanced at my friends and at this time I felt in control of the universe and my surroundings. Then I heard rabbits, or mice, or some type of animal running through the house, all around. As my thoughts increased and became stronger, this sound became louder. I never felt more out of the norm in my life. If it weren't for my friends hearing these sounds, I wouldn't find them significant, but I felt in control like never before. I began to think happy thoughts, and pray God was on my side and would help us get through this. I glanced over at my friends and watched them scurry around for the keys to get out, but something was amiss.

They were looking in the couches. Inside the couches for the keys. As if somehow they magically ended up deep within them. I watched and couldn't quite grasp why they were doing this. I felt as if they have gone absolutely crazy and I was left all alone. I said to everyone relax, lets gather our thoughts. At this moment we came together again and I never felt love for them like this ever. I felt we were selected, we knew what needed to be known. I became overwhelmed again and the nausea kicked in hard. I then focused in again on the brighter things in life, what's real, what's happiness, love. And the nausea began to go away. I placed my legs on the table, kicked back and took a deep breath, within this deep breath I felt I took in all the good energy I have been creating in the room with my mind. It was the most fresh breath I have ever taken in my life. It was once again beautiful. I glanced at my friends and decided to help find these keys. I stood up and felt a dazed feeling almost as if I was extremely tired and about to pass out, this may have been due to the amount of sleep I had prior, which was very very little. I went to the other room to lay down, as I layed there I saw eyes all over staring at me, this didn't scare me too much, I smiled back knowing that a presence was with me. With that the keys were found and my friends said it's finally time to go. I gathered the rest of our things and helped clean the rest of the place up, and we hopped back into the car. It was an odd ride home as I still felt a bit looped. I noticed myself looking at every little thing so much differently, for the better. I again smiled, it was more of a permanent smile the entire way. We began talking about what we learned. Although I tried to be involved in the conversation, I was on my last leg and just was ready to be alone with my wonderful thoughts and fall into my sleeping state.

I arrived at my house and it looked so familiar but as if I haven't seen it in a very long time. I walked up to my room and layed down still tripping a bit. My thoughts were still racing and I could have used a Valium or something to help get my mind off things. But I just kept staring out my window and watching the trees blow and the fading rainbow colors vibrating off of them. After I finally fell asleep in my own room, I woke maybe 4 hours later feeling extremely refreshed and energized. I hopped into the shower in hopes to regain the familiar feeling of myself and reality. It was never so clear. It was one of the most comforting showers I have ever taken, I finally felt real again. I walked downstairs to finally be with my parents face to face and I never felt so great, it was a feeling of enlightenment throughout me and I felt it radiating off of myself and with my family, again a beautiful feeling. It's been a rough relationship with them and never did I feel so good at this moment, and I will continue to carry this with me. For the first time in years I felt the need to be with them more than ever, so I aksed them to a movie and they gladly and happily accepted. We went to see the movie "The Happening" which was a trip in itself, and I recommend any user of psychedelics to see it as it has a very deep meaning to this life we are living.

This was LSD trip was the most amazing and influential thing that has ever happened to me. Every time I do psychedelics I go into it with an open mind and my attempt to learn what is real and of course better myself. This trip has taken me to a whole new level of consciousnesses and I have not stopped thinking. This world is a very ugly place, and it's us humans who is the cause, as ignorant as we all can be sometimes. I take this trip as a warning that there is something coming. I never have been so sure about anything ever, but I only can hope others eventually realize this without the use of psychedelics.

I will end this with an Amen, because it never felt so right. To me LSD is a sacrament and should be taken very seriously. To think, this is illegal...
