I went to go visit my buddy in his hometown, this was a decent train journey about a couple of hours or so, but he said he would guide me through the tripping experience, since he's done much larger doses than I have and is quite familiar with the psychedelic head space, also this was the very first time tripping. First of all after meeting him in the town centre we took a bus to his place and sat down in his room, he's got a decent little Afghan strain of pure indica cannabis growing in his small tent, he looks after it quite well, the orange glow from the bulb made the room feel warmer, which was quite soothing. He already had his sound system set up ready for the experience. We sat on the floor, cut up his half of the tabs (he bought 10) which meant two to take now and three another time.

I couldn’t believe how small the tabs actually were they were these tiny fragile pieces of paper, which I picked up with a pair of pliers, trying not to destroy the acid, with the grease on the hands and fingers. We sat and chilled for a few minutes, then headed to the park and sat down and had a fairly regular conversation about what I wanted to get from the experience and such. Not feeling a lot at the 20 minute mark, but at about 40 minutes in I’m getting the stabbing sensation in my arms the vasoconstriction, also I had this strange urge to get up and go somewhere even though I knew I didn’t. I think my body knew that this was going to be a journey. Also had to go to the toilet a fare bit my body preparing for the mental experience. About an hour or so in when we returned to my buddies room, I walked into a room whereby his cupboards were breathing everything felt alive and constantly in motion. I decided to lie down just so I could take it all in and not be too overwhelmed. I lay on the bottom bunk of the bed staring up at the mattress above me and just blankly staring at these floral patterns and watching them spin, twist and turn and evolve into complicated shapes and eventually they morphed into faces. At first the faces weren’t too bothersome, then things took a turn for the worse and these faces became evil gremlin faces that I couldn’t escape from being stared at.

I felt constantly judges by the world around me, my friend put some trippy beats on and that didn’t help. For me trippy music is frightening whilst tripping because the Doppler effect in the music was quite disorientating and the music felt as though it was getting louder blasting the house with music, the walls were coming in. Closing in and enveloping in, the faces were breathing heavy their big eyes shooting at me with their constant discerning gaze. All of a sudden I blinked and it changed, the room become a weird sort of stage, there was all of a sudden a spotlight in the middle of the room, and people coming and going from this odd stage set like I was an odd observer to this weird orchestrated play of my life. I went to use the toilet and walking around his house, made me realize that the entire house was rocking like a boat and I swear I could hear the coming and going of the tide and the crashing waves. Seeing that I was in significant distress my friend decided to get me into some new scenery to try and take the trip in a better direction.

At this time it was about 5 in the evening and fairly dark unfortunately. Walking through the paths in the park was a journey as the earth moved up and down in this beautiful rhythmic way, as if mother earth was breathing, like the earth was just some huge rolled out rug that we were journeying across. The crisscrossing of the tress were beautiful. They produced this unfocused kaleidoscope effect where I can see the red and blue, like you see on old 3-D glasses merging in and out of each other. Carrying on the path looking at the bushes I could see these gorgeous glowing butterflies that gently caressed my hands when I reached out for them. It was a clear night, thankfully so looking up at the moon was a truly humbling experience I couldn’t stop feeling like I’m so lucky to be alive, to be, just stood under this majestic thing that is the universe and how I'm a part of it as well as it’s a part of me. Coming down the faces became less angry and more neutral, extremely cubist almost as if Picasso had gone wild with the brushstokes in the tree branches.

We sat again in the spot where I was only 20 mins in and it looked completely different, how there were eyeballs hanging from the trees and such. There was a theme of being scared of being constantly watched in my trip. When we got back to my buddies room I had 3 big hits of his joint which kicked it up a notch again, it just gave me strong paranoia. Which made some parts of the trip slightly uncomfortable.

I slept deeply that night and woke up with that acid afterglow, feeling soothed and relaxed and everything oddly back to normal. I had become so used to the reality of these faces staring at me it became my reality for 13 hours. It turns out I have much more mental strength than I thought I had.
