Introduction


This article details a 1P-LSD experience, specifically the fourth trip of the individual. It focuses on a solo, experimental session, where the user aimed to explore chemical-aided visualization. The experience is chronicled in precise time intervals, highlighting the effects, emotional state, and cognitive experiences encountered throughout the trip. The individual has prior experience with 1P-LSD, having completed three other sessions, including doses of 50µg, 150µg, and 100µg.


Background


The individual is a 31-year-old male, standing at 5'8" (172 cm) and weighing 130 lbs (59 kg). This particular experience took place on February 17, 2018, with the person having used 1P-LSD multiple times before. In previous sessions, doses of 50µg and 150µg had yielded positive and insightful effects, while the third experience at 100µg was a public trip, which was enjoyable but also induced mild stress. Drawing from previous experiences, the individual decided to make this trip a solo venture, aimed at furthering visualization through the chemical effects of 1P-LSD.


Set and Setting


The setting for this trip was a mild, sunny winter day. It was a Saturday, and the town had a home game, which meant that there were a lot of out-of-towners present. The weather had recently shifted, with the day being one of the warmest in a while. The individual had not taken any psychedelic substances in the past three weeks, so there was anticipation for the experience. The subject was alone during the trip and sought to maintain a low-key approach, avoiding high-traffic public places in favor of a more subtle and introspective exploration.


Timeline


The following section provides a detailed timeline of the trip, including the effects at different stages, cognitive and emotional responses, and sensory changes experienced.


+0:00 – Dose Administration and Initial Effects


The individual opted for a careful approach to dosing, splitting the total dose of 200µg into four 50µg doses taken over 90 minutes. To mitigate any potential anxiety, a 12mg dose of CBD was consumed alongside the LSD. The individual had also eaten a light meal of chicken and rice an hour before dosing. This careful approach was intended to allow for a gradual onset of effects.


+1:10 – First Signs of Effects


At this point in the trip, the onset of effects was gentle compared to previous experiences. The spaced-out doses may have contributed to a more subtle start. The first noticeable sign of the drug taking effect was a mild electric tingling in the fingers, which could have been psychosomatic due to the light nature of the onset. The user described this initial sensation as very mild, unlike the tactile sensations encountered in the past.


+1:40 – Elevated Mood and Early Hallucinations


By this time, the effects had become more noticeable. The mood had shifted dramatically, with the individual experiencing an intense sense of euphoria. This was compared to being very drunk, though with a clear mind. Time was perceived to be moving at half its usual speed, a common effect of psychedelics. The first onset of visual phenomena also occurred, though they were underwhelming, likely due to the bright sunlight outside.


The light filtering through the blinds was described as softening and splitting into various colors, creating a fractal-like effect. The individual also noted that there were faint patterns visible on the walls, resembling glowing threads. Afterimages were noticeable, though their prominence was reduced due to the brightness of the day.


+2:15 – Nausea and Food Cravings


Around two hours into the trip, a combination of nausea and food cravings set in, a common experience from previous trips. The individual addressed this by eating a ripe peach and some chocolates, both of which were thoroughly enjoyed. The nausea subsided within 15-20 minutes after consuming the food, which was a relief, and the cravings did not linger.


+2:30 – Walk Through the Neighborhood


At this point, the user made an unexpected decision to go for a walk. The plan was to wander through the neighborhood without a specific destination in mind. The neighborhood was in a college town, and the streets were crowded due to the ongoing game, but the individual sought out quieter, less conspicuous places to explore. These included a head shop, a record store, a public garden, and a local wine tasting shop.


Although there were no significant open-eye visuals (OEVs) to speak of in broad daylight, the cognitive effects were incredibly pronounced. The individual described feeling a heightened sense of connection between everything in their environment. There was a sense that all the signs, flyers, and advertisements in the area were somehow interlinked, as if they all came from a common source.


Despite experiencing such pronounced cognitive effects, the individual was still able to function and interact with others. However, concentration was notably compromised, with the user struggling to stay focused on simple tasks. For example, the individual became sidetracked while trying to walk to a park just two blocks from their apartment, completely forgetting their original intention. Despite the challenges to focus, the experience did not impair the ability to interact with people or enjoy the ongoing exploration of the surroundings.


Conclusion


This experience with 1P-LSD was characterized by a mild yet deep sense of euphoria, cognitive disorientation, and subtle visual effects. The individual’s approach to dosing, spreading it out over 90 minutes, seemed to result in a gentler onset compared to previous sessions. While the intensity of the visuals was diminished in bright daylight, the cognitive shifts were intense and led to an overwhelming sense of interconnectedness with the environment. Despite some difficulty focusing, the trip was overall a positive experience that allowed for introspection and self-exploration.
