Background Information
This report recounts an intense hallucinatory experience resulting from a combination of LSD and psilocybin mushrooms. The aim was to explore intriguing combinations known to enhance hallucinatory effects. Specifically, I had heard about a phenomenon referred to as "jedi flipping," which typically involves combining MDMA with hallucinogens. However, I opted against using MDMA this time, especially considering my prior experiences rolling over the weekend.
A friend from out of town joined me for this venture; however, I will focus solely on my personal experience, which proved to be profoundly hallucinatory.

Timeline of the Experience
Ingestion and Come-Up (6:00-7:00)
At 5:55 AM, I ingested a 225μg tab of LSD. My eagerness to begin led me to take it slightly earlier than planned. A steady onset followed, with initial effects becoming noticeable approximately 20 minutes later. By around 6:40 AM, I prepared 9 grams of psilocybin mushrooms. I ground them using a coffee grinder, mixed them with Sunny D, and drank the mixture, which nearly induced nausea.
As the mushrooms began to take effect, I experienced level 3 geometric patterns forming on my ceiling. These patterns were slow-moving and expansive, appearing in slightly darker hues compared to the ceiling itself. While visual distortions were minimal at this point, I noted enhanced colors and significant physical stimulation, which made it increasingly challenging to articulate my thoughts. To alleviate my nausea after about 20 minutes, I took a dab of concentrate.
First Hour After Ingestion (T+1:00 - T+2:00)
Around 7:00 AM, feeling my nausea had subsided enough, I decided to venture outside for a walk despite the chilly air on my skin. My internal temperature felt normal, and I turned on my music playlist, starting with Moderat. The music altered my perception of the environment, uplifting the mood of the sky and surroundings. Colors appeared deeply saturated, and every surface was intricately detailed.
While walking in a park, I observed the bricks of the fountain area, which seemed to be covered in faces, all screaming to escape their entrapment. Some faces were complete with heads and hands. I discovered a small note resting atop a gutter drain; it was not damp and will be pictured to the right. Reading the note left me confused, and I decided to keep it throughout the trip.
The flowers around me appeared to dance, and I began receiving geometric information through an unfolding understanding of relationships and actions around me. The emotions within both organic and inorganic, yet non-sentient, entities became clear, blurring the lines of my perception. I was aware of my identity, but the thoughts I experienced felt as if they were being generated by the environment rather than by me.
As I strolled down an alleyway, I lay down in the middle of it, reaching out towards the sky. Moving my hands before my eyes felt like peeling back layers of my dimensional experience. I engaged with the sky, seemingly pulling clouds and lighter shades of blue away from it. This blue was infused with complex geometric patterns, representing information, shapes, and emotions simultaneously, which felt like a form of non-verbal communication.
During my exploration, I encountered a cat and spent about ten minutes conversing with it. I sensed that the cat possessed an understanding of my journey and potential future. However, I soon felt the mushrooms beginning to hit me more intensely, and I rose to continue my adventure, leaving the cat behind as I anticipated the impending peak of my experience.
