First Time Xtcy Experience

I took the the tab when I knew I had the full day off. It was a quiet relaxing day. I played peaceful new age music.

After an hour I began to feel very mellow. Thoughts came to mind about graduate work in philosophy -- feeling that I was one with all and the authors. I got up the courage to get a pop on the main floor of my building. I ran into two ladies I knew. I found myself hugging them. They were quite responsive. For several hours I had feelings of oneness with the universe, and felt peaceful and relaxed. I felt as though I could have slept, but didn't want to as I felt so rested and at ease.

After five hours of ingestion, I felt the effects diminish. I slept a solid 8 hours, although I have suffered from insomnia my whole life. I felt no effects the next day, other than feeling relaxed. I did, I should add, drank about five glasses of water, and a pop, to stay hydrated.

The experience changed my perception of reality. I now know that it is our purpose on this planet to love, and to act with loving-kindness. Little things matter, as we are all one.

I am not a 'quack!' LOL. I have a doctorate in the sciences.
