1. Introduction

The experience detailed here chronicles an intense and vivid psychedelic journey over the course of a day. From the looping anticipation of venturing outside to the stunning visual perceptions at the park, and culminating in a unique DMT experience, this narrative takes us through a series of sensory and emotional highs, unexpected moments of reflection, and the eventual transition into an afterglow state. The timings of the trip are indicated with the symbol "T+,” referring to the number of hours after the substances were first consumed.

2. T+5:30 – The Looping Desire to Go Outside

As the trip reached the five-and-a-half-hour mark, the desire to venture outside became a recurring thought. For two and a half hours, a cycle repeated where I would express the intention to go outside, but each time I would find myself sitting back down, more interested in enhancing the experience by taking another dab. This cycle became so habitual that every 30 minutes, I would declare my desire to go out but instead, I would end up caught in conversation or a new thought process.

This pattern continued until T+8:00, when my friend Omega pointed out that I had been looping in this behavior for hours. It was only then that I realized the extent to which I had been caught in the rhythm of repetition. It was time to finally break the cycle and head outside.

3. T+8:00 – Venturing to the Park and Experiencing the Outdoors

3.1. The Stunning Beauty of the Park

Once we finally made it outside, we arrived at a nearby park as the sun began its descent. The visual effects were still quite intense for me at this point, though I could sense the onset of the "come down." The park was absolutely mesmerizing—its colors saturated and glowing with an ethereal vibrancy. The scene was alive: people playing kickball, children running joyfully, a wedding taking place, and families enjoying picnics amidst the blooming roses in the garden.

3.2. Heightened Sensory Perception

The experience of nature in this state was unparalleled. The warmth of the air, the absence of any chilling breeze, and the softness of the grass under my bare feet created a perfect moment. The earth itself felt alive beneath me as I ran through the park, my senses heightened by the music I was listening to, each note synchronizing with the energy of the evening. Everything felt like ecstasy—what more could I ever want than a day like this?

3.3. Losing and Reuniting with Friends

At some point, I lost track of my friends, Theta and Omega, as I continued to explore the park. However, I wasn’t concerned. The park felt like a safe and boundless space, and I was content to wander freely. Eventually, I found Theta sitting quietly in the shade behind the rose garden. I sat next to them, mesmerized by a tree whose leaves seemed to shift and bloom with radiant light. The visual distortions became circular patterns, creating a complex, moving geometry in the tree’s form. When I shared this with Theta, they mentioned they were no longer experiencing such intense visuals, likely because they hadn’t taken any dabs during the trip.

4. T+8:30 – Intense Visual Effects and Thai Food

After spending time in the park, we decided to get some Thai food. The experience of eating was profoundly intense, as each bite demanded my full attention. The flavors and textures seemed exaggerated and foreign. It took me all night to finish the meal, a slow and deliberate process that mirrored the slow ebbing of the effects of the substances I had consumed earlier.

5. T+8:00 – A New Experiment with DMT

5.1. The Return to Peak Effects

When I returned home after the park, I felt the urge to experiment with DMT. I prepared a dose of approximately 20mg (+/- 3mg) and vaporized it on a glowing hot ceramic nail. As I inhaled the vapor, the familiar effects began to take hold. Within minutes, I was back at the peak of my trip, experiencing intense stop-motion visuals that washed over me. The tapestry on the wall seemed to grow and shift, eventually filling my entire field of vision.

5.2. Vivid Visuals and Narrative Experiences

As the visual effects deepened, I witnessed an unfolding narrative. I saw a family of native people depicted in warm, autumnal tones. They appeared to be undergoing a series of difficult events, facing adversity. However, the story shifted, and they ultimately overcame their opposition, achieving triumph. As soon as this narrative resolved, I felt myself return to reality, with the visuals slowly diminishing.

6. T+10:00 – The Afterglow and Transitioning to Rest

By the ten-hour mark, I had transitioned into the afterglow phase of the trip. Although the intense visual distortions had faded, the enhanced colors remained, giving everything a slightly heightened beauty. I began to take small doses of GHB every ten minutes or so, totaling about 2.5 grams by the time the afterglow fully set in. At this point, I was mostly back to baseline, though still deeply engaged with the world around me.

I stayed up until 5:00 AM, wide awake and completely captivated by a series of documentaries I was watching. Sleep finally came easily after a long, eventful day.

7. Conclusion

This psychedelic journey was marked by moments of introspection, looping thoughts, and a profound connection with nature and my surroundings. The combination of substances, from dabs to DMT, created an experience that was both challenging and exhilarating. While the visuals were at times overwhelming, they were also deeply beautiful, and the evening in the park felt like a perfect culmination of the day’s events. The afterglow that followed allowed for a peaceful transition from the intense peak to a relaxed and reflective state, marking the end of an unforgettable experience.
