Introduction
On February 10, 2018, I decided to take a break from my previous experiences with psychedelic drugs after a traumatic event that landed me in the hospital. This hiatus had allowed me to reflect on my mental state, but after weeks of struggling with severe depression, I felt compelled to experiment once again with 1P-LSD. Despite my concerns about how it might amplify my depression, I decided to proceed, believing it could offer me a way out of my emotional rut.

When I swallowed two tabs of 1P-LSD at approximately 2:30 PM, I felt a rush of apprehension. The doubts and fear I had about the potential for another bad trip were heavy on my mind. But despite this, there was a sense of inevitability — there was no turning back now.
Onset of Effects
Initial Sensations
Around 3:00 PM, the effects of the 1P-LSD began to take hold. A sensation of warmth and pleasure spread through my chest, growing stronger with each passing moment. I felt happiness unlike I had in months, and a sense of relief washed over me. The anxiety I had felt earlier quickly faded, and I began laughing uncontrollably as the feeling of euphoria intensified.
First Visual and Emotional Changes
As the pleasure and joy enveloped my body, I realized that everything felt perfect. I began to lose my sense of time and space, but at that moment, it didn’t matter. I opened my laptop, and messages from people on Facebook seemed to fill my screen. Yet, rather than causing any distress, I was able to detach from any perceived negativity — I was floating in a state of pure joy and bliss.
I decided to close Facebook and listen to music, specifically Liquid Skies by Kai Tracid. The music amplified the experience, and subtle visual distortions began to take shape.
Immersion in the Experience
Altered Perception and Introspection
By 3:30 PM, I was fully immersed in the psychedelic experience. Colors around me shifted constantly, flowing from blue to green to pink to red. The environment seemed to warp, with depth perception being distorted to a great extent. I walked over to the mirror and was stunned to watch fractals slowly envelop my face. The reflection seemed to morph, and I became lost in the thought — was I the reflection or the "true" me?
This question didn't matter in that moment because I was completely at peace, absorbed in a deep, personal sense of joy. I spent time contemplating the nature of my reflection, enjoying the self-exploration as I played with the idea of different personas.
Physical Euphoria and Self-Exploration
The physical sensation of euphoria continued to intensify. It became so overwhelming that I couldn’t stay still. I leaped out of bed and returned to the mirror, staring at myself and reveling in the intense pleasure of the moment. As my usually low self-esteem disappeared, I began speaking with my reflections, adopting different personalities, and discussing how beautiful life is. It felt as though I was in the presence of many versions of myself.
While the experience was overwhelmingly positive, I also experienced an urge to clench my jaw throughout the trip, which was more of a side effect than an actual discomfort, considering the euphoria I was feeling.
Reflection on Life and Personal Struggles
At one point, I checked the time, only to be surprised that it was already 4:30 PM. It felt as though I had been on the trip for many hours, yet in reality, only two had passed. As I lay in bed, I thought about the many challenges in my life: my struggles with college, family tensions, legal issues, and financial problems. But in that moment, everything seemed trivial.
The realization hit me that, despite everything going wrong in my life, none of it mattered. The universe was so astoundingly beautiful that it was impossible to remain sad. I was in a place of pure contentment and felt as though I could never again experience depression. The weight of my worries was lifted, and I was transported into a blissful, dream-like state.
The Peak of the Trip
Music, Movement, and Joy
The rest of the experience involved a blend of music, dancing, and a renewed sense of wonder at the world around me. I spent hours reveling in the music, enjoying the visuals, and consuming content that made me laugh on YouTube. The experience was full of joy, and I felt connected to everything in a deeply profound way. I also noted that the effects of 1P-LSD seemed to closely resemble those of LSD-25, based on my observations throughout the trip.
Conclusion: Aftermath and Reflection
My psychedelic journey lasted until around midnight, though the visuals began to taper off by 8:00 PM. As the effects slowly wore off, I took 10 milligrams of Melatonin to help me sleep. As I lay there, drifting off to sleep, I felt as though I had been reborn — my depression lifted, and I could see the world through a new lens of positivity.
Looking back, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and joy. I was committed to revisiting this experience in a couple of weeks, knowing that the trip had not only healed my mind but had also reminded me of the profound beauty of life.
