I am usually very carefull when using psychedelics, i enjoy having mild effects, still being able to socialize. But this one night a few month ago, i went home and, i don't know why, decided i wanted a full shroom trip. It is difficult to explain, at the time it was so clear...

Time overlap, everything happens at the same time, also endless time loop, whatever i was doing ended with me at the same place doing the same thing...

Want to do something? Start doing it and realise it is already done... No need to do it again then, great :)

Climax was realising the recurrent mysterious glow i saw during previous use was a big ball of pure light irradiating kind and warm energy, watching over me... And this glowing pure ball of light, that was me.

That was a really really awesome trip. Never did it again nor do i plan to.

I did acid after years of doing shrooms. I forgot who I was and freaked out for a while because i didnt remember how to get home. Then I had this very intense hallucination where everyone was colors and all the souls were divided but in the background of everything theres like a huge pool or lake of these colors that all mixed together. And as people were born and died they went back and forth. Like life was a vacation from being this giant one thing.

I dont do drugs anymore after that, forgetting who i was is scary. This one I firmly believe the government got right by making this illegal. Dont do it.

Even the positive experiences here sound like a nightmare to me. Really glad I never tried this.

LSD + Fear Inoculum + dog cuddles

Salvia, I was sitting on my friend's couch, he took the pipe away from me as I sat back. I looked over at him and started laughing.. Each time I laughed, it was like my vision took a 'screenshot' of the room (like a phone).

Every subsequent laugh applied the previous layer behind the next; to a cascading effect that looked like the old school app drawer from older iOS versions.

After the laughing fit, my abdomen hurt so much that I reportedly zoned out, tried to catch my breath, asked 'how long has it been since I hit that' (it was thirty seconds but felt like HOURS at that point), and was absolutely terrified by the form of my friends cat.

Next thing I remember I was violently throwing up in his bathroom. Good times.

It's always Salvia when this question is asked. Always.

Ketamine after mdma, I've never pushed it mega far but I once was sat on the floor of a small party and in reality I just closed my eyes but as far as I was aware I fell through the floor into a pitch black weightless void, frozen in a moment of time with my friends last words echoing repeatedly, and after several days I rose back out of the floor and returned to my sitting position, just in time to regain control of the CDJs.

Bless you for thinking of the music!

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was it any frightening? did you handle it well?

[–] NuanceDemon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was in a very relaxed state, I didnt even really question it I more just melted into it.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nice heheh, if only I could summon that state more frequently !

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 22 hours ago

No, I'll have to look this up

I accidentally took four tabs of LSD when I meant to take two around 5 years ago. Both tabs I grabbed were stuck to another tab and they all ended up being really strong ones.

It started off well enough with euphoria and visuals but I went to the bathroom, sat down, and I sorta just entered a different dimension. As I was sitting there, all of my senses (like smell, hearing, taste, and vision) started swirling together in front of me as I quickly forgot what it even meant to be myself. As the swirling got quicker, it sorta all just faded to white and I think I ego-death'ed for a few hours but I don't really remember. After a few hours I did managed to leave the bathroom with a bit more clarity but my vision was so distorted it was hard to walk.

It was really intense and I'm glad I experienced it but I don't think I'd want to go through it again haha. I don't really trip much anymore but when I do, I stick to DMT where it only last like 15 minutes

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

LSD is mind bending and a joy IMO, though I don't do drugs anymore that's the one I would do again without worry.

Dreams have been trippier for me than any drug though. I have had prophetic dreams, mind altering dreams, lucid dreams - seem to be able to achieve states of mind while I'm asleep that I can't get while awake.

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Salvia, the strong stuff. I saw colors rolling off the arms of a friend who was moving their arms. I also thought I was outside even though I was inside.

[–] speedythefirst@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Salvia and DMT are fucking nuts. I saw a door turn into a face that started laughing at me while everything around me turned into the most vividly real cartoon.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

DMT doesn't have to be nuts! People look at me like I'm crazy when I recommend DMT as a first psychedelic but if you just mix a bit into nicotine-free vape juice and take it that way, it's honestly a perfect way to ease into it all

It's not like you gotta take a massive hit off a dab rig right from the start lol

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's like blasting off into another dimension.

[–] TrapRag@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

DMT for me, the room started twisting and recursively repeating itself. I felt myself being pulled up through the ceiling and resisted at first but got bad vibes and let myself take off. Clocked out and went to DMT space, thought I was my roommate for a minute, had an ego death, and saw shapes and colors that dont really exist in reality. Came to and all the walls (wood paneling from the 70s) had a sort of shimmery liquid gloss layer on the surface that was ebbing, flowing, and peacocking real hard. Other objects were like that too but the knots in the wood really leant themselves to it.

I had tried varies quantities and types of psychedelics prior and often got high but rarely had any visuals. The few visuals I did have were just basic optical illusion type trippy and pretty disappointing.

My experience with DMT seemed to unlock something in my brain though because the next few times I tried shrooms and acid after that I tripped absolute balls and it felt like I had also done DMT in addition to them.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 1 day ago

Probably very mild, as I've done shrooms once, and I think I told that story before, but anyway :

One night in the old shared house I was staying at, having the apéro with a couple of flatmates, I was drinking from a beer can, and the meager 6 or 7 dried shriveled up shrooms I had had earlier started to take effect. It seems to have exacerbated a specific anxiety I was having, about accidentally swallowing some insect from a opened can. I looked at the can in my hand and sure enough some absurd chimaera between a winged insect (think butterfly) and a field mouse, was standing on the top, plunging a long-ass trunk (think hummingbird moth) into my beverage. I feel like I looked at that thing in disbelief for a couple seconds, then looked away and again at my can and it was gone. I still emptied the can in the grass
