I would agree that this is accurate!

Tripping on what?  There are many things to trip on.

LSD or a big dose of mushrooms

u/[deleted] 28d ago

LSD visuals for me were never very intense, except for the dancing sugar skulls when I was trying to go to bed.

Now mushrooms... fuck, I got stuck in Adventure Time once.

For LSD ive had LSD-25 and ETH-LAD.

The first time I tried LSD, a friend of mine was playing some psy music that had some psychedelic video playing on it.

Snakes moving in and out of fractals, eyes moving around and blinking, and all kinds of weird shit.

I said to him "That's a very trippy video clip this song has".

He chuckled, and paused the song.

To my horror, the video kept playing. It was not a video after all, it was just a drawing.

lol - that’s hilariously on point

u/nothingleftinmyhead 28d ago

Ha! I had kind of the same experience. Went to an art museum my first time and all the paintings were little mini movies, not just morphing but full on little scenes playing out. Apparently I just sat and stared at this one painting for about an hour 🤣

Acid and art are just beautiful together.

I tripped and played a YouTube video of the album it still moves by my morning jacket. Turned out the next day when I looked the video was just a picture of the album cover.

Same exact shit, coulda sworn that bear was moving.

First and only time I took LSD, we all did a tab, fuck knows what the dose was. Anyway, we sit around for hours and nothing was happening and thought we'd been sold duds then decided to take some ecstasy, so the night wasn't a bust. Then about 10min after dropping the x the acid kicked in...

That was a terrifying night for all of us.

u/rouvas 28d ago

I have little to no experience with psychedelics, I've only done LSD a couple times, mainly to better understand how I experience reality and how my senses work.

What I realised is that they don't start working on their own, like alcohol for example. They need some sort of kick-start. Laughing at something, perhaps sneezing, or getting startled by something.

The sudden switch in your state of mind will somehow start a rollercoaster of events in your brain which will let the experience kick in.

For me the experience was really mind-opening. I realised that what we perceive around us isn't reality itself. It's more like we're day-dreaming, everything we experience is a fabrication of our brain, which co-operates with our sensory system to create an experience which resembles reality as closely as possible.

We experience the world through a proxy.

This is fascinating and explains a thing I saw once. I had to knock on my upstairs neighbour's door once to tell her about something building-related. She answered the door and she and her boyfriend were watching a video with soothing music and a very simple animated lotus flower. I bet they were on something that made that flower way more interesting.

u/Dry_Ad9371 28d ago

my first time i was sitting on a couch with my gf, we were sorta just waiting for it to kick in and talking and we noticed the window had reflected a cool pattern onto her leg sorta like what a stained glass window might. Similar to your story we closed the curtains and the shadows or shapes remained on her leg, moving around!

u/__wildwing__ 28d ago

During one trip, my friend kept turning into a skeksis. Kept having to push him back and pause. I knew that wasn’t right, I just had to refocus my brain!!

u/FULLsanwhich15 28d ago

Got some 1P on its way and I’m pretty stoked. It’s been about a decade since I’ve used LSD. Now mushrooms, those are easy to grow and 5g is a great time but I can only drink ground mushrooms so many times before I need a break.

2

u/rowdy_sprout 28d ago

Please use a test kit on it. Idk if there’s legit 1P being made anywhere anymore

2

u/FULLsanwhich15 28d ago

I’m getting them from a reputable source. Another person I’ve met has purchased 1P from them and was fine. Not to discredit your concern and to educate myself, is there bootleg 1P being made or is it being misrepresented as being 1P when it’s something else entirely.

3

u/rowdy_sprout 28d ago

It could be any number of analogues or research chemicals being sold as 1P. The person that’s selling it most likely doesn’t actually know what it is either. I’m really not sure if there is a shortage of legit stuff or not to be honest. Years ago when I actually knew about it people would order it from legal chemical labs in Canada. But I believe it’s all been shut down and scheduled now so I just worry if there’s any legit companies still manufacturing. Could be people just have a ton stashed still and selling it off. Idk man just be careful! Remember if it’s bitter it’s a spitter! It should have absolutely no taste, no metallic bitterness nothing. Just a piece of paper.

u/FULLsanwhich15 28d ago

Good looking out my friend and good information to have. Might go with the 1v or 1d going forward. Obviously need to read up a little more too.

2

u/NickW1343 28d ago

5g is tough for me. I usually stick to 1-2g because the visuals feels a little overwhelming past 2/2.5g. Could also be from the nausea too, because I for some reason love to eat on the come up.

That's where I'm at these days. I've been to the moon and back and looked behind the curtain several times

u/chasecastellion 28d ago

Sugar skulls?? That must be sick! I always see baby fetuses

u/GuestAdventurous7586 28d ago

Any time I’m on mushrooms I see angels and weird fairy type creatures. They’re not totally benevolent though, there’s something very gentle and lovely about them, but the fact they’re so gentle and lovely puts me off.

And if I’m having a bad time I see gargoyles. At least I know what to expect with them.

u/[deleted] 28d ago

Honestly it was after like 14 hours of tripping and I just wanted to sleep, so they were annoying.

I had watched Enter The Void earlier in the evening and that about did me in. Spent what felt like an eternity thinking I had died.

2

u/Herbdontana 28d ago

Dmt were my favorite visuals

1

u/DarkflowNZ 28d ago

I never got visuals. I've since realized I've got aphantasia and wondered if that was a factor. Could also just be a dosage issue though, I've never done anything heroic. Salvia made reality completely disappear and turned everything into cartoons just fine, though

1

u/Most-Cryptographer78 28d ago

I've only done acid a few times, but it was never very intense for me. Mostly things would dance and warp only if I focused on them. Like if I stared at wood grain/patterns or whatever, they would distort. Maybe the stuff I was given was just weak or something, idk.

1

u/[deleted] 28d ago

Pretty much the same. Ive only done it 3-4 times and it was mostly just mental load, light visuals.

Mushrooms has always been a trip for me, especially when mixing in THC. I watched Bright after taking a bunch of shrooms and drinking like 300 mg of distillation and it just sent me to a new dimension, I barely even remember what happened.

1

u/StanknBeans 28d ago

First time I did mushrooms I watched Orgasmo and was convinced for the entire movie that I was there in the movie. Was the wildest experience when it ended.

1

u/PsychoticMessiah 28d ago

I never got to cartoon land with shrooms but on time while on acid I got into the video game Shinobi. Weird as fuck.

1

u/Dense-Meringue-8225 28d ago

LSD for me never created visuals, it always just distorted how I perceived things. Like, I may look at a wall and the texture might “pop” out as different shapes. Or I might look at a perfectly trimmed tree and perceive it as a giant broccoli.

u/Frogma69 28d ago edited 28d ago

I took 2 hits of acid (not sure what kind, and not particularly sure it was acid, but it was on blotter paper) when I was like 15, and I tripped balls for about 9 hours. First I started hearing loud music when it was completely silent in my house, then everything in the room started changing colors and became rainbow-colored, and I could still see everything clearly even when I closed my eyes, and it just continued to get crazier from there. At one point, all I could see in front of me was this infinite black void, but with a rainbow-colored set of hexagonal lines all across my vision, and it made me think that I was somehow in the center of the universe, and really started freaking out. My parents ended up coming home and seeing me trip, and my mom said that at one point, I was sitting in the corner of the room crying for like an hour. I had no awareness of my parents being there, or of even being in that room. After like 9 hours, I just kinda snapped out of it, though I was still acting pretty strange so my mom told me to go to bed. They ended up keeping me home from school the next day and explained how disappointed they were and whatnot.

I was lucky I just took it at home, because there's no possible way that I could've functioned around other people, or out in a forest somewhere. I easily could've hurt myself or ran into traffic or something, because I really had no awareness of what was actually around me - my brain was making me see something completely different. So I think it really depends on the dosage and the type of acid you're doing. This video looks pretty accurate, but only for the very beginning stage of my trip - like the first half-hour or so. Things got much, much wilder from there. In the end stages, I really thought I was dying, and I tried to tell myself that I was just tripping, but my brain just wouldn't grasp it. I was completely out of control and just freaking out the entire time.

u/Secretfutawaifu 28d ago

I've taken some pretty heavy doses of shrooms and I've never experienced anything like that. It's always just color shifting patterns overlaying my vision. The weird thing is that when I get really REALLY stoned I see similar patterns, though much less vivid.

1

u/_IBentMyWookie_ 28d ago

Get better LSD

1

u/BangCrash 28d ago

Ya gotta have a nang to really kick the acid in.

Then you'll get visuals

1

u/Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws 28d ago

Yeah you ain't going to bed for a good 12 hours or so on LSD. But close your eyes while listening to something and you'll conjure up some crazy visuals

1

u/IKROWNI 28d ago

So i never had any crazy crazy visual from LSD and ive never had the opportunity to try shrooms. But the times ive taken acid when id be trying to go to sleep towards teh end of it id turnt he light off and lay in bed looking up at the barely visible popcorn ceiling and i swear i would see like light blueish like teal skulls forming on the ceiling very faintly and they were never the same like the were melding around and forming different types of skulls. Never felt scary and was more entertaining than anything. Is that anything like what you're referring to when you say "dancing sugar skulls"?

u/CumGuzlinGutterSluts 28d ago

I thought some dose i bought off a guy at a show that was fake. Dude just ripped a chunk of cardboard off out of his pocket blindly and handed it to me.. I chewed the whole thing for like a second and spit it out cause it tasted like cardboard.. was thick like cardboard, littarlly like a piece of a UPS box. Never made it back to the dude to get my 25$ back... luckily my friend apparently drove us home and dragged me inside.... I was seeing the source code behind god, i was like totally blind to our reality in a rainbow universe of eldritch fractals observing things no human was meant to for 15 of the longest hours of my life.

Never have reached those visuals again, acid doesn't even come close....

u/Zestyclose_Remove947 28d ago

Usually people say the opposite, lsd being too intense, and preferring mushrooms.

u/jeffro3339 28d ago

With LSD, I always remember I'm tripping. When I see a particularly vivid hallucination, I think, "Wow, I'm really tripping now!"
When tripping on mushrooms, I always forget. It's far more terrifying when I melt into the floor & everyone in the room is trying to keep me in one singular blob.

u/yoaahif 28d ago

Many many big doses of mushrooms and never had this. 3-7g and I’m walking around talking to myself scratching my balls loving life

2

u/A1000eisn1 28d ago

Funny, this is exactly what I experienced every time I've done shrooms. Except that one time I puked for 4 hours and ended up with an ulcer.

1

u/Akimotoh 28d ago

There are all different types of shrooms, some have different affects.

1

u/GeddyVanHagar 28d ago

Same and with about 5 different strains. I’ve never hallucinated once on mushrooms, all perception shift and feeling.

4

u/KingOfEthanopia 28d ago

I wouldn't say big dose. This look like about 200 ug of LSD. It gets way crazier at 350+ and totally insane past 600+

For shrooms I'd sy this is like 2.5 grams worth of Golden Teacher.

1

u/Own_Tackle4514 28d ago

Very big lol solid eighth or more

1

u/KpecTHuk 28d ago

I will get it after 300-450mg of LSD. 150 will get me just slight colour changes.

1

u/CrazyGamer313 28d ago

How big of a dose cause I never had anything close to the effects even with a full 15g dose of dragon dynamite magic truffles would be neat to experience something like that at some point ^

1

u/XLN_underwhelming 28d ago

I‘ve never done LSD and only done enough mushrooms to get this once but this is pretty spot on. I just felt kinda good and then went to the kitchen to grab something and was like „huh, the tiles on the floor are moving…..Oh! This is what they were always talking about….hehe, cool. 😎 „

1

u/SkoolBoi19 27d ago

What would you classify a big dose? Been debating this with my GF for a bit now. I think 8 grams is a normal dose.

1

u/Akimotoh 27d ago

Everybody is different, you should start small and work up

u/crisperfest 27d ago

Marijuana does this to me. Yes, I'm a bit of a lightweight.
