Introduction


In November 2019, a 19-year-old male subject embarked on an experimental journey with 1cP-LSD, a recently introduced psychedelic substance. Following the prohibition of 1P-LSD and other LSD derivatives in Germany, the substance 1cP-LSD emerged as a response within the research chemical (RC) community. The chemical structure of 1cP-LSD is a minor modification of 1P-LSD, and it is believed that it is metabolized into LSD-25 (the active compound in LSD) in the body. Even in cases where it does not fully metabolize, the effects of 1cP-LSD are widely regarded as being nearly identical to those of LSD.


This report chronicles the experience of one individual who took 1050 µg (1.05 mg) of 1cP-LSD, offering insight into the psychological and sensory effects, as well as the overall experience at a high dose.



Initial Dosage and Onset


The individual began their experience by preparing the environment for the psychedelic journey. They arranged drinks and sweets, closed the shutters to block out light, and set the stage for their experience. The subject then placed seven pellets, each containing 150 µg of 1cP-LSD, into their mouth. They chewed the pellets and allowed the active compounds to be absorbed through the mucous membrane.


After just a few minutes, the first visual effects began to emerge. The world around them started to warp and shift, and everything took on a slight gleaming or shimmering quality. At this point, the subject found themselves laughing uncontrollably. The laughter was reminiscent of a previous experience, and although it was familiar, it felt almost overwhelming. For about 30 minutes, the subject laughed continuously, which became difficult to control, even though it brought a sense of euphoria and joy.



Peak Experience


The Ego Death


As the effects intensified, a small light appeared in the subject's field of vision. The light seemed to move closer, signaling the onset of the peak. This moment marked the beginning of what could be described as an "ego death" experience. The subject's sense of personal identity dissolved, and they were no longer able to track who they were or their relationship to the world around them.


The table in front of them vanished, and their vision became engulfed in a vast, dark void. In this state, the subject described seeing the entire universe unfold in their mind's eye. They experienced a sense of duality, fluctuating between the perception of a collective consciousness and their individual ego-based consciousness. This profound loss of self was accompanied by an overwhelming sense of unity with everything, beyond the confines of their individual identity.


Visions of Infinity


At this moment, the subject began to experience vivid and surreal visions. They turned on several sound frequencies, which seemed to enhance the journey. With eyes closed, the subject saw what they described as "the matrix"—an infinite, rotating series of transparent walls that extended into eternity. These walls formed intricate geometric patterns that appeared to stretch without end, presenting a visually overwhelming experience.


In addition to the kaleidoscopic visual effects, the subject observed glimmering particles, luminous points appearing and vanishing in rapid motion, streaks of light that seemed to emanate from alternate dimensions, and various ethereal movements. The sense of infinity, of being able to peer into an endless expanse, was described as both magnificent and humbling.


The visual experience eventually slowed, and the subject's perceptions of the world began to stabilize. When they opened their eyes, reality appeared more ordinary, but they were still deeply immersed in a heightened sensory experience. Soon, they were pulled into another visionary state, where spirals and geometric patterns continued to shift, divide, and repeat themselves in a seemingly endless loop.



Visual and Auditory Effects


The psychedelic visuals of 1cP-LSD were described as intense and transformative. At the peak, the subject witnessed the world warp into surreal shapes, with various geometric patterns, spirals, and infinite visuals that seemed to stretch far beyond the limits of ordinary perception. The subject also noted that there were points in the experience when they could observe what seemed to be particles or streaks of light coming from alternate realities or dimensions, adding an otherworldly element to their perceptions.


In addition to the visual effects, the subject activated different sound frequencies, which enhanced the experience and seemed to deepen the connection to the psychedelic state. With eyes closed, the sounds accompanied their visions, further intensifying the feeling of being immersed in another plane of existence.



Return to Normal Reality


After what seemed like an eternity in the altered state, the subject found themselves gradually returning to normal reality. The transition was described as surreal and blissful, as if they were being reborn. The world around them felt warmer, slower, and more beautiful than usual. The colors of the environment were still enhanced, adding to the feeling that everything was more vibrant and alive.


Though the subject had returned to their baseline reality, the experience had left a lasting impact on their perception of the world and themselves. The intense visual and sensory effects faded, but the memory of the journey remained vivid.



Conclusion: Reflections on 1cP-LSD


Overall, the subject regarded their experience with 1cP-LSD as positive, noting that the effects were nearly identical to those of traditional LSD. The journey through the intense visual and emotional states was transformative, offering insights into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the self. The experience was intense but beautiful, providing a sense of connection to the universe and a deeper understanding of the human mind.


Despite the profound nature of the experience, the subject issued a note of caution. High doses, such as the one taken in this report (1050 µg), can easily lead to overwhelming or even dangerous experiences. The intense psychological effects, such as ego death, are not to be taken lightly. A bad trip could quickly turn into a terrifying and disorienting experience, and users must be aware of the risks before deciding to take such substances.



Warnings and Caution


It is important to approach substances like 1cP-LSD with extreme caution. High doses can lead to intense psychological and emotional experiences that may be difficult to process, especially if the individual is not prepared for the depth of the journey. It is highly recommended that individuals consume psychedelics in a safe, controlled environment with experienced trip sitters present.


Users should only partake in these substances if they are fully aware of the potential risks, both physical and psychological. Psychedelic substances like 1cP-LSD can evoke powerful and life-changing experiences, but they should not be taken lightly. Safety, mental preparation, and mindfulness are key to ensuring a positive outcome.
