Introduction
This report describes a significant psychedelic experience involving a combination of LSD and cannabis. The user took two tabs of LSD, estimated at 200 micrograms, along with four bowls of cannabis, totaling around 0.8 grams. The goal of this experience was to explore the effects of combining both substances and to gain insight into the profound changes in perception and consciousness that these substances can produce.
Pre-trip Conditions
Previous Night's Experience
The night before the main trip, the user took one tab of LSD and smoked cannabis, leading to a late night, going to bed around 3 AM. This pre-trip experience set the stage for the following day, contributing to a sense of tolerance and tiredness when dosing again. The previous night's trip was enjoyable but provided an important lesson: trips taken too closely together may diminish their intensity and impact.
Mindset and Preparation
As a result of the pre-trip experience, the user realized the importance of giving proper respect to LSD. The intention moving forward was to approach trips with more mindfulness, including meditating in the days leading up to future experiences. This preparation reflected a growing sense of reverence for the substance and a desire to maximize the depth and meaning of the trip.
The Start of the Trip
Setting and Dosage
The trip began at home, with plans to meet two friends later in the day. They were aware that the user would be under the influence of LSD and intended to provide a calming presence. The dosage consisted of two tabs of LSD, totaling around 200 micrograms, taken at approximately 1 PM. Within an hour, the initial effects started to manifest, setting the stage for a transformative experience.
The First Effects
The first sensations began as a familiar “wavy” feeling, where visual perceptions started to shift and become more fluid. Along with this, thought acceleration was noticeable—a common feature of the LSD experience where the mind races with rapid, profound thoughts. After about 90 minutes, the user reached the peak, where the intensity of the trip increased dramatically.
The Peak Experience
Visual and Mental Sensations
During the peak, the user felt as though their entire body was involved in the experience, with sensations building up like the slow crescendo of the iconic THX logo sound. This auditory and physical sensation resonated throughout the body, creating a fully immersive trip. Visually, the world seemed to shift and morph in unusual ways, amplifying the sense of being disconnected from ordinary reality.
Heightened Euphoria and Connection to the Universe
One of the most striking aspects of the peak was a profound sense of euphoria. The user reported feeling "extremely happy," noting that this was the happiest they had ever felt in their life. Alongside the euphoria was a powerful feeling of connectedness, as though the user was in tune with the universe and tapping into a higher consciousness. This sensation provided a sense of understanding about the larger "big picture" of life and existence, although the specifics of these insights were hard to articulate. There was also a strong feeling of déjà vu, adding to the mystique of the experience.
The Role of Cannabis
Amplifying the Experience
As the LSD peak continued, the user decided to smoke some cannabis, hoping to enhance the experience. Cannabis often deepens the effects of LSD, adding another layer of sensory and mental stimulation. After smoking four bowls (approximately 0.8 grams), the trip intensified. The combined effects of both substances led to even more vivid visual distortions, stronger thought loops, and a deeper connection to the self and the environment.
Reflection and Deep Thought
Being stoned during the LSD trip allowed the user to reflect on various aspects of their life and the experience itself. Cannabis tends to encourage introspection, and in this case, it helped the user analyze their trip in real-time, exploring the depths of their thoughts and memories. This reflective state was crucial in processing the overwhelming sensations and insights that the LSD was revealing.
Conclusion
Lessons Learned
This trip taught the user several important lessons. First and foremost, they recognized the importance of not overindulging in psychedelics, particularly not taking trips too close together. The experience also reinforced the need to approach these substances with respect, as they can have profound and lasting effects on the mind. Moving forward, the user plans to engage in meditation before future trips as a way of preparing mentally and spiritually.
Post-trip Reflections
After coming down from the high, the user felt a lasting sense of appreciation for the insights gained during the trip. Although some of the more profound thoughts were difficult to put into words, the experience left a significant impact on their outlook on life. The connection felt to the universe and the happiness experienced during the peak were moments that would stay with the user long after the effects of the LSD and cannabis had worn off.
