1. Introduction


This report provides a detailed account of a personal experience with the psychedelic substance 1P-LSD. The trip took place on March 29, 2018, and was documented by a male participant with prior experience in psychedelics, including Psilocybe Cubensis, LSD-25, and DMT. His height is approximately 5'5" and his weight is 45.5 kg (100 lbs). At the time, he had recently ended a serious relationship and was experiencing emotional recovery. Though not ideally suited for a psychedelic experience, the trip offered personal insights, along with intense physical and emotional effects.


Background and Previous Experience


The subject had previous exposure to various psychedelics:


  • Psilocybe Cubensis (5+ times)
  • LSD-25 (7+ times)
  • 1P-LSD (3+ times)
  • DMT (twice, no breakthrough)


The subject was also a regular cannabis user, which he used to medicate for anxiety and ADHD. The participant had a history of poor reactions to prescribed medications and found cannabis more beneficial for managing these conditions. On the night of the trip, he chose to experience the psychedelic in a social setting with two friends in his room.




2. Timeline of the Trip


Preparation and Initial Consumption


  • 7:00 PM: The group decided to smoke cannabis first to help settle in before the trip. After each person had a bowl, they prepared the environment for the psychedelic experience, ensuring a comfortable setting.

  • 7:30 PM: The subject and his friends consumed a single tab of 1P-LSD. There was no notable taste from the tab. They smoked another bowl of cannabis. The subject experienced a slight sense of anxiety, which was typical for him before a trip.


Onset of Effects


  • 8:15 PM: The effects of 1P-LSD began to take hold. The subject felt a mild physical euphoria and spontaneous sensations in the body. While he started to notice these early effects, there was only minimal anxiety, and the experience felt manageable at this stage.

  • 8:45 PM: The trip began to intensify. The subject described feeling intense shivers throughout his body, accompanied by slight stomach discomfort. At this point, the effects were stronger than expected, which led to an increase in anxiety.


Peak Experience


  • 9:45 PM: By this time, the subject was experiencing a full-blown psychedelic trip. Visual distortions became pronounced—edges of objects were blurred, and the room took on a soft, hazy appearance. Objects seemed to melt and morph into strange shapes. When the subject observed his friends’ faces, their heads would seemingly flow and morph like bubbles.


The group began to get stuck in thought loops, and the passage of time became difficult to track. Music became an immersive experience—songs sounded like they were tailored for the trip and almost felt as if they were crafted to induce specific emotional states. The subject described the music as incredibly beautiful, though his perception of it was altered—songs would feel like they lasted for hours, repeating on loop, and certain sections of the music would reverse, with voices playing backwards while the melody continued.


A particularly strange delusion emerged where the subject believed that one of his friends harbored animosity toward him. This feeling was unsettling, although it was likely a product of the heightened emotional state caused by the trip.


The Duration and Aftermath


  • 11:30 PM: The subject’s trip reached a point of overwhelming intensity. A repeating pattern on one of the posters in the room extended beyond the poster and covered the entire room. The group had initially planned to go for a walk, but rain kept them indoors, and they continued to sit in the small room, engaged in conversations that seemed to repeat endlessly. Time felt completely warped—minutes felt like hours, adding to the confusion and unease.


The subject eventually decided to retreat to his bed, hoping to find some relief. However, this decision exacerbated his emotional state. Lying down, he experienced strong emotional and physical pain, which he attributed to unresolved emotional distress. The trip produced an overwhelming sense of emotional intensity, manifesting itself physically. The subject’s thoughts seemed to shift from cognitive reasoning to a more emotional awareness, where his internal monologue was replaced by deep realizations and emotional insights.


  • 2:00 AM: Around this time, everyone began expressing mental exhaustion. They all decided to rest for the night. The subject was still tripping intensely, lying on his couch and staring at his dresser. The dresser morphed into a strange, animated character, and the music began to distort once more. Despite the onset of physical exhaustion, the subject’s peak experience with 1P-LSD lasted for about six hours, and he ended up falling asleep still fully under its influence.




3. Conclusion


The 1P-LSD experience, though intense, provided the subject with deep emotional insights. Throughout the trip, there was a sense of emotional turbulence, ranging from confusion and anxiety to profound realizations. The subject's emotional pain became tangible, manifesting as a form of physical discomfort. Despite the challenging moments, the overall experience offered a valuable opportunity for self-reflection and processing emotions related to his recent breakup.


The trip, lasting well into the night, was marked by intense visual distortions, repetitive thought loops, and an altered perception of time. Music played a significant role in the experience, further enhancing the subjective reality of the trip. Though the decision to lie down and "wait it out" was not ideal, the subject was able to navigate the experience, eventually falling asleep still under the influence of the substance.


In hindsight, the trip, while not without its difficulties, offered valuable moments of clarity and emotional release.
