your acid stories

Several years ago I went on a pretty intense day hike with a friend to a place called Gothic Basin and brought recently acquired acid, which I had never done before. Once at the (amazing, beautiful) top I took a small amount, maybe 1/3 of a tab, figuring it would do something but I should make sure it was legit and I didn’t react badly to it. On the way down my friend got stung by a hornet; she’s allergic to bee stings and had not brought any medication or an epi-pen. She decided to just run 3-4 miles down this quite steep mountain trail in order to get to civilization before the reaction got too bad, and I followed. I was pretty terrified that I’d put a foot wrong while running and then we’d be truly screwed, but we managed to get back to the trailhead in one piece and I drove her car back successfully and all was well. My first time taking a full dose was much more chill and relatively uneventful.

A dear friend has a quite amazing story about taking a large dose of mushrooms with his friend while sledding, then his friend bonking into a tree and breaking his jaw, and then driving himself and tripping broken-jawed friend through the snow to the hospital while peaking.

Tripped for the first time in many years recently. I though I'd be up for it but wound up filled with dread and self-doubt. Cried for a long time. I think I am officially too old for that sort of nonsense.

Yeah, I had a couple mushroom experiences in the last year or two which were not filled with grace, illumination and merging with the cosmos; I just felt weird and decided that I'm not gonna be a part of the neo-psychedelic tribe. I'm glad for the experiences of my late teens & early twenties, but that was then, this is now.

That said - a buddy bought a vape pen filled with DMT and that was kinda rad because it only lasts a few minutes; a bit like nitrious oxide but with more visuals.

I've been pretty curious about that. I've never tried psychedelics and the dude who's been goading me into shrooms is pretty insistent I take a full dose, which I really don't wanna do out of the gate. DMT pen might be cool though

Had a drop and then went and played in the ocean, just wading in up to my calves, running away from waves, exploring sea caves etc.

I can't officially recommend that since the ocean is a dangerous place.

But it's the best thing you could possibly do.

excellent revive

Those three LSD trips I mentioned upthread were the only ones I've done so far. I still want to trip once or twice more in my lifetime.
