1. Introduction

In this article, I will recount my detailed experience with 1P-LSD, a psychedelic compound, and describe the sensations, visuals, and shifts in perception that I underwent during the trip. This account captures the unfolding of events as I navigated the journey with the support of my brother and girlfriend, who acted as my trip-sitters. The insights and experiences that followed challenged my understanding of reality and left me with a deep sense of spiritual connection.

2. Setting the Scene

2.1. The Starting Point

At around 12:45 PM, I took three 100ug tabs of 1P-LSD. I was joined by my brother and girlfriend, who were prepared to help me through the experience. They were there to keep me grounded and ensure that I was safe throughout the duration of the trip. As I ingested the tabs, I was mentally prepared for the usual sensations, yet little did I know that this trip would unfold in unexpected and profound ways.

2.2. The Trip-Sitters

My brother and girlfriend were familiar with the effects of psychedelics, and they knew how to provide support during such intense experiences. Having trusted people around me was reassuring, as they would ensure I was safe and could intervene if necessary, which contributed to my ability to relax into the experience.

3. The Initial Effects

3.1. Early Signs of Anxiety and Nausea

The first hour of the trip felt familiar, like many previous experiences with psychedelics. I began to notice the early onset of anxiety and a slight feeling of nausea. These sensations were typical and not alarming, but they were still uncomfortable. I found myself feeling jittery, unable to sit still for long, and fidgeting constantly.

3.2. The Onset of Fidgeting

As the come-up continued, the anxiety worsened slightly, adding to the fidgety sensation. However, I was aware of these feelings and simply tried to focus on my surroundings to ground myself. It was still early, and I knew from past trips that the intensity would increase over time.

4. The Peak of the Trip

4.1. Dissociation and Memory Loss

Around the one-hour mark, things began to intensify. My dissociation started, and I could no longer comprehend objects or situations as I normally would. I’d look at something, assess it as lucidly as possible, only to immediately forget everything I had just thought. It was as if I had lost the ability to hold onto thoughts or memories for more than a moment.

I felt like I had regressed mentally to a child-like state—disoriented and unsure of what things were or meant. This sensation was disconcerting at first, but it quickly became a part of the experience that I accepted.

4.2. Heightened Visuals

As the trip progressed, the visuals intensified. Patterns started to form on the surfaces around me, constantly moving and shifting. These patterns were present whether I focused on them directly or viewed them peripherally. This was a noticeable change from my previous trips, where I typically had to focus on an object for a few seconds before the patterns would form.

The visuals grew more intricate and vivid, and at times it felt as though they were pulling at my very being. My environment began to distort in a way that made it feel as if I was becoming part of everything around me.

4.3. Merging with the Environment

I began to experience a profound sense of merging with the objects around me. When I touched my clothing or the sofa, it felt as if my skin was blending with them. This sensation was both surreal and exhilarating, as it removed the sense of separation between myself and my surroundings. I felt like I was one with the fabric, the couch, and even the air.

4.4. Sensory Amplification

Eating fruit became a sensory revelation. The sweetness of the fruit was unlike anything I had ever experienced, far more intense and flavorful than in my sober state. Even something as simple as drinking water took on a new dimension. The sensation of cold water traveling down my throat was magnified, and I could feel the water’s movement in three dimensions, as if it were flowing through my entire body, not just my mouth and chest.

By this point, I was around an hour and ten minutes into the experience, and everything was continuing to intensify, pulling me deeper into the trip.

5. The Experience Deepens

5.1. Walls and Geometry Transforming

The next phase of the trip brought an overwhelming shift in my surroundings. The walls of the room began to peel away, and in their place, transparent fields of geometry emerged, hovering about three to four feet from me. These shifting patterns felt like they were part of the very fabric of reality, and they seemed to interact with me as though they were alive.

5.2. The Connection Between Body and Headspace

At one point, my hand began to take on the visual form of the patterns I was seeing. It split into many thin lines that slinked up the walls, mimicking the geometric shapes in the air. I recall making a remark about how the visuals were a bridge between my body and my mind, but the exact meaning of this thought remains elusive. It felt as though my consciousness was expanding, connecting to a greater whole.

5.3. Moving to the Bedroom

As the rain outside intensified and the mood became more somber, we decided to move to the bedroom. I lay down, and speakers were placed on either side of my head. My girlfriend lay beside me, offering physical comfort. My brother, who was acting as the trip-sitter and controller of the music, selected a piece to accompany the journey: Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy. The music amplified the emotional depth of the experience, adding another layer of beauty and transcendence.

6. The Spiritual Connection

6.1. The Joy of the Experience

As I lay there, enveloped by the music and the patterns in the room, I felt an overwhelming sense of joy and awe. The visuals continued to evolve, and I felt connected to something larger than myself—something ancient and transcendent. It was a sensation of pure bliss, an emotion that filled my entire being.

6.2. A Sense of Communion with Ancient Practices

In my altered state, I felt a deep, almost spiritual connection to past cultures and people who had used entheogens for religious or shamanic purposes. I imagined a young man in an indigenous tribe, perhaps in Africa, Brazil, or Mexico, undergoing a similar experience with a different substance. This feeling of communion with ancient traditions and spiritual practices felt profound, as though I was participating in a ritual that had been guiding humanity for millennia.

7. Conclusion

This 1P-LSD experience was a journey that took me through moments of deep dissociation, sensory amplification, and emotional transcendence. The visuals were intense, at times pulling me into the very fabric of my surroundings. I felt a sense of merging with the environment and was struck by the idea of shared experiences across time and culture. Ultimately, it was a deeply spiritual journey that left me with a renewed appreciation for the connection between mind, body, and the universe.
