Background:
Me and a friend of mine decided that we wanted to try 4-Aco-DMT. It's the first time with this substance and only our second psychedelic. We chose a Sunday with lots of time to spare and we both had a good mindset. We were excited and had prepared beforehand.
There was paper to draw if we felt like it, good headphones with music we liked, a trip sitter and benzos if everything was to go wrong.
Our history of use was short having only tried 14mg of 2C-B and not any other drugs except weed and alcohol.
Trip report:
0:00
It's 11 am and I woke up about one hour ago. I didn't eat anything on purpose.
We both took a 20mg pill and continued talking about normal things.
0:20
Good thing I didn't eat anything. My stomach is not feeling good and I become aware of a weird feeling. It's like something is off. Nothing in particular just a general feeling of anxiousness. There are not any noticeable effects but the weirdness is getting worse and worse.
0:25
The onset is very fast. About 2 minutes ago I just felt weird now I can clearly see geometric patterns on my pants and the floor, table, carpet etc.
It's like someone hit the gas pedal from start. Me and my friend seem kind of overwhelmed. We both start laughing. I remember that I laughed but I kind of didn't feel good. I had to take deep breaths to focus and relax. It was hard to "let go".
The bodyload was also very prevalent. It was a heavy feeling in the limbs with a kind of buzzing feeling throughout the body.
0:40
The visuals are full on psychedelic now. Flowing, breathing and morphing of objects. Closed eye visuals with tunnels of green and bright geometric structures. Tracers and "rainbow scales" in my visual field.
The head space is also getting very intense now. I'm thinking stuff like "is this getting better or worse?" and "am I enjoying this" while it's getting harder and harder to think straight.
Me and my friend go out into my garden.
1:00
The garden feels much better. I remember stating that "inside is way to electric. The garden is warmer, embracing, welcoming. Nature leaves more space for my thoughts". This was one of the leading thoughts of my experience. I became very interested in nature. I watched flowers like I never saw them before, I layed down in the gras and it felt extremely good. I watched the clouds form geometric and fractal patterns and remember a overwhelmingly good feeling as I saw birds flying above me.
One of the best moments was when I saw birds in the sky flying in formation. For me it seemed like one half of them were flipped upside down like they were just reflections on the surface of a lake or a mirror.
My friend also layed down and was very quiet. He seemingly snapped in and out of this world. He closed his eyes and layed on the ground for a while then he suddenly got up again, not saying anything.
I didn't want to close my eyes because I was way to fascinated by nature and in my head there was a thought of "missing out on nature" if I closed my eyes right now.
1:30
Me and my friend are still laying in my garden. Colours are intensified with a dark green, purple and reddish brown around some objects like trees and dirt.
I decide to close my eyes and go explore my mind. For some reason my mind wandered to my dead mother and my ex girlfriend (for me both experiences are very hard to think about normally). I remember thinking about those two persons and about the events that are connected with them and in what felt like 20 minutes for me I just came to terms with both the death of my mother and the breakup of my girlfriend. In reality it was about 2 minutes as the trip sitter later told me.
There were no negative thoughts through this whole process. Afterwards I watched my reflection in my mobile phone and I felt nothing but deep satisfaction seeing my face. It was a feeling of "coming to terms" with everything basically. During this time the visuals were not important to me.
My friend later told me that in his time of laying on the ground (what felt like a really long time for him) he thought about everything and anything. The concept of thinking just felt so good to him that he kept thinking and thinking not noticing anything around him and actually disconnecting from his body. He "became his thoughts" as he described it.
He also described intense closed eye visuals with entity like creatures looking down on him. He said that there was nothing scary about it, just a feeling of warmth and comfort
2:00
The mind trip is getting less and less intense. We talk about how stupid it is to put an "age" on drugs and experiences when it is clearly connected to oneself and not the concept of "age". This conversation was very insightful for both of us even if our tripsitter described it as "extremely simple".
The visuals become more prevalent again with geometric patterns and flowing motions on all surfaces.
We put some music on and lay inside again. It is not overwhelming now and we just loose ourselves in the music feeling it all through our bodies.
3:00
I'm on the come down. I can only see visuals if I concentrate on surfaces now and the mind trip is gone apart from some thought alterations.
My friend is still in his thoughts and feeling the music.
4:00
We both stop feeling any effects and come back to reality.
Afterward:
Light afterglow for about 3 hours. Processing what we felt and saw.
