DOSE:
25 mg oral 4-HO-MiPT (capsule)
BODY WEIGHT: 90 kg
Mystical Experience

Background: I have previously taken other psychedelic substances, including magic mushrooms, truffles, LSD, and other variants like 1V-LSD, AL-LAD, and 1CP-LSD. I don’t take any other drugs or medication. Ten days ago, I did a test dose of 2-3 mg to check for any allergic reactions, with no noticeable effects.

Set and Setting: I am in good physical and mental health. I ate a light lunch (a salad) and had prepared a 25 mg dose. I measured it out from the 100 mg of fumarate I received from a trusted source, using my Gemini-20 scale, so I expect a possible margin of error of about 5 mg. After weighing it, I placed the dose in a capsule along with a bit of L-arginine. It’s winter, so it’s a bit chilly outside (around 9-10ºC), but the temperature indoors is comfortable.

5:30 PM: I take the capsule with water.

5:50 PM: I notice some intestinal discomfort and mild nausea, similar to mushrooms but to a lesser degree.

6:00 PM: I start noticing visual distortions; lights and colors appear more vivid. I still feel some stomach discomfort but am surprised to already be noticing visual effects so quickly.
I still feel some stomach discomfort but am surprised to already be noticing visual effects so quickly.


6:10 PM: I’m definitely experiencing visual distortions. The walls in my house aren’t completely flat, and if I stare at them, I can see them subtly shifting. The movement is slow and very fluid. The floor patterns move in the same way if I look at them for a while.

6:15 PM: I decide to go to my backyard to observe the plants and the outdoors. The tiles are also shifting. The drifting is still slow. I look up at the sky, which is currently clear, and I can see very faint lines forming random, rectangular patterns.

6:30 PM: The sensation is more relaxing than anything, so I decide to let the experience flow. (Note: I’ve taken other psychedelics in the past, and I usually don’t experience very vivid CEVs or OEVs.) I decide to lie down on my bed and cover myself with a blanket, as the substance seems to have made me feel colder. I turn off the light and put on some music. I notice my heart feels like it’s beating faster, but my watch indicates it’s normal, around 70 bpm.

7:00 PM: I’ve been lying with my eyes closed for half an hour. The nausea has passed, and I’m experiencing visuals. For some reason, and for the first time in my experiences, I feel the trip has a mystical or religious quality (I should note that I’m not a religious or spiritual person). It’s hard to describe, but the visuals are somewhat strange, with fractals and organic motifs. It’s not particularly beautiful, yet for some reason, it feels reassuring. I wouldn’t describe it as a bad trip at all.

8:10 PM: I’ve been in bed this whole time listening to music on my phone. I’m now noticing fewer visuals and thought the effects would last much longer. The trip has felt quite mystical and philosophical, with a somewhat sensual aspect; at times, I also felt an increase in libido. I wrote down what I was seeing:

“I think the vision represents what I perceived as the ¿origin of something?, influenced by my cultural biases and experiences. A rooftop of a palace with columns reminiscent of ancient Greek architecture and a woman in an immaculate white robe. The visions of the woman overlap, and her face can’t quite be seen. Neither can her body—although her clothing is translucent, she’s not fully exposed, but rather ambiguously in between. The colors are vivid and unreal, and the sun recurs in the sky in a looping manner, like a fractal that advances to a point. At that moment, I felt this scene was the origin of something”.

8:30 PM: I go out with some friends for a walk. I don’t feel any visual distortions, but I’m in a great mood and feel like chatting with them.

9:00 PM: I have dinner at home, with no noticeable effects remaining. Physically, I feel fine at this point.

Overall, the trip felt a bit more intense than I anticipated, though very manageable. I was even able to write and use the computer at times to play music. Although it was more intense than expected, it was very positive and relaxing, as well as much shorter than with other substances. Additionally, the physical sensations were very pleasant; with other substances, especially LSD, I tend to feel more physically stimulated, with my heart racing more.

The only thing that really surprised me was how quickly I started feeling the effects. In general, this is one of the substances I’ve enjoyed the most. (The text was translated by an AI from another language.)
