For a while now I have been developing a chemical fascination of sorts as of recently. I am currently a college student and due to multiple projects on drug safety throughout my educational career, I decided to say “fuck it” and experiment. In the past I have smoked weed and consumed alcohol like any rebellious teen along with a year long stimulant kick (mainly adderall and other add medications). Currently, I only smoke weed, drink very infrequently, and regularly take 150mg of Lamotrigine as a mood stabilizer due to being bipolar.

This was my first experience with any psychedelic substance. With a bit of advice from a friend of mine, I went into this experience expecting nothing and knowing it would be different than anything I've done before.

Experience report

Timeline

T+ 0:00 - Ingested the LSA tea along with a cup of coffee and water. Tastes horrible. I almost vomited while drinking it.

T+ 0:05 - Ate 3.9 grams of seeds along with the 6.5 grams of seeds that were made into the tea.

T+ 1:00 - So far nothing much. There was slight visual warping along the corners of the walls in my apartment and the shadows in the corner of my room were slowly pulsating, like they were breathing. My body was sore with my shoulders and chest muscles feeling somewhat tight and I felt heavy. There is this constant slight urge to vomit coupled with slight dizziness and disorientation. I got up to move around and was sluggish. Like I had weighted blankets wrapped around my body.

T+ 2:00 - I felt horrible. Nauseous, dizzy, hungry then not hungry, hot, my jaw is tight now and I felt as if I was in a slight state of mental distress. (Written during trip) As of writing this, I am now leaving my apartment to walk to a McDonald’s for something resembling a meal. I have had certain thought patterns in my head that at the time, made me think I should become vegetarian and stop eating meat.

T+ 2:30 - Before I left to go get food, I joined a discord call with some friends of mine. I spent the entire call trying to describe exactly how I felt to them when my vision felt like it zoomed out. The best way to describe it is like I changed the field of view in a video game. I then spent a decent amount of time in this call staring at myself to which friend A said to me “Hey, how’s the character creation going?” Friend A and friend B then spent the entire time of me being on the call, trying to convince me that I was in a video game and messing with me. This irritated me to the point where I yelled at them to shut up, then left the call to get food.

T+ 3:00 - Going outside and on my run to the local Starbucks was jarring to say the least. Outside was like stepping into a completely alien world. The wind whipped against my skin as the cool breeze filled my entire body with a tingling sensation. The blasting of ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All” did much to cool me down. Starbucks was horrid at the moment. I was incredibly paranoid that everyone around me would know that I was currently in the midst of a psychedelic experience. I ordered my coffee and sandwich, grabbed them, and left as quickly as I came.

T+ 3:30 - Eating became horrible. I was super aware of everything involving my oral cavity. Swallowing food was laboring. I could feel the chewed sandwich and hot coffee making its way down my throat. I was experiencing muscle twitching in my arms and shoulder muscles along with restless leg syndrome which was uncomfortable.

T+ 4:00 to 6:30 - This whole point can just be characterized into three sections; Awe, Remembrance, Reflection. The world around me diffused into an abstract complex I could not even describe. Everything amazed me. Time flew by. I walked into my room after leaving a call with friends to calm me down from my experience outside, collapsed on my bed as I lost all connection between my brain and limbs, and stared simply at my sheets. I became lost in the fibers of my white bed sheet. I called my boyfriend during this time which was not the best decision. He was aware that I was under the influence but the sudden call caught him off guard and made him worry. I simply wanted to express my thoughts and reflections about life to the world, how I fragmented my mind and split myself into two. The call ended quickly with him being displeased at my decision to go outside for food despite me being safe and verifying that nothing would happen. A quick session of back and forth texting, starting with me apologizing to him for making him worried and that he can go back to watching stuff with his friend, him telling me that he’s upset, and then telling me that it was because I went outside. After hanging up, I flipped myself around and stared at my ceiling for around an hour and thirty minutes. I spent that time thinking about myself and my own experience with mental illness. Being bipolar has really had an effect on my life. For the longest time I have never come to terms with it and still even denied it. But during this period of reflection, I "had a conversation with myself." I cannot fully describe it as the words still have not come to me but it was much needed. I spent the rest of my time after my revelation/reflection thinking of life and how much I really loved my mattress. The infatuation with my mattress was insane. I focused on how it felt, how it molded around my body, and felt like I could become one with it. This ended when I needed to use the restroom.

T+ 6:30 to 8:00 - This is when I started my comedown. I could finally move my body again and I was able to formulate words and sentences. I felt extremely tired and all I could really do was sit down and watch a video so that is exactly what I did. I called my boyfriend again to apologize and hash things out. Everything between us was fine in the end. I drank around 2.5 liters of water after my trip, took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and then got in my bed and fell asleep to videos of art restoration.

Post Trip

Overall, this experience was a decent one. The trip to Starbucks, my friends messing with me, and the call with my boyfriend were not the best but the rest of the trip was alright. I don't regret the experience at all but I do not think I would do LSA again because of the body load.
