I've been in love with psychedelics since I was 17 years old and I tried LSD for the first time. Then subsequently I fell in love with mushrooms. Now ever since trying with and realizing that I had a solid connect. I tripped acid at least twice a year since I was 17. And I would rotate between mushrooms and acid, because while they both share a cross tolerance factor, I always found the mushroom tolerance was not as strong. So I would alternate but it was always either one or the other. And then it wasn't even until my mid 20s that, I was actually presented the opportunity to try DMT. I had to try it three times to even get anything out of it.

The fact that all my friends were standing around me saying "can you feel it yet?" absolutely killed it for me. I never actually even got a taste of the experience at all. Never. At the same time because I never had a surplus of material to run that experiment. For the longest time I would continue to study, and respect these compounds separately.

I got to a point where I told everybody to fuck off and that I was gonna go down in the basement and do it by myself. That was an experience but it's not really my favorite thing because it doesn't last very long.

Same thing with MDMA. I was never presented an opportunity to try it until I was in my mid 20s and even then I've been prescribed adderall since I was 17 years old so it's not really my thing.

I was that person in the group that would take acid or mushrooms before we go to a social or public event, and I would get most of the way through the night. And then I would tell everybody that I was tripping and they would all be like how can you do that I have no idea you're crazy man. I enjoy being that crazy person. I. Love. Psychedelics. Lol

I continued regularly dosing all the way up until, a night came where I was really drunk I ended up taking three tabs, and two points of MDMA. Because I work construction and it was pouring rain and I thought I was gonna be fine, was certain it would be a rain day with no work. But when I woke up two hours late for work, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping I was late and I was tripping face. I get a call from my boss and he's pissed, he said I don't care what condition you're in just get your ass to work we need you. So I got in my car and I still completely fucked up to work at my construction job everything was fine, until the acid started to wear off. Then I got sick. And I was throwing up, on a job site of an incredibly rich older couple. And I was mortified.

This led to me slowing down. I stopped taking so much. I started focusing on my career because it did become a clear that I could not win.

Fast forward to May 16, 2024. After a really gnarly round of severe weather came through Omaha. And dropped one of the first F5 in the Omaha area in 50 years. I had gotten off work at my full-time job and was presented with an opportunity, I had arborist experience and I wasn't afraid of heights so my friend called and asked if I could help clear a tree out of the road in front of his uncle's house.

I get to the tree I see that it's already mostly leaned over, it's an easy climb. I just did not think about how high it was. I get up to where I'm about to ask for the chainsaw? And I felt 17 feet to the concrete. I landed on my shoulders like a grape on a toothpick. I broke C4 through C7 in my neck.

My life has changed in the blink of an eye. I went from being extremely independent did everything for myself. To spending 10 months in the hospital having to ask for everything. I survived 10 months in the hospital and eventually moved home, I'm unable to work for the rest of my life. Which yes sucks ass... But it has presented me with a unique opportunity.

I have decided to devote my life to studying the effects of LSD and psilocybin and MDMA, pioneering research on high level spinal cord injuries like mine. Using the substances for physical therapy. Using the electricity of LSD to try and wake up paralyzed limbs. With promising results so far! I have a surplus of these compounds now, and a giant stash of mushrooms. I think currently I have 57 g of enigma, 26 g of makilla gorilla, and 10 grams of blue Vuittons.

So I decided to scratch the 12 year itch, I was committed to trying LSD and mushrooms at the same time. I wanted to take ~100ug, and I wanted to take an eighth of mushrooms. But I decided to crazily up the stakes even more. (I'm pretty sure this is the downfall of the story) I weighed out 1 g of enigma, and 1.25 of makilla, and 1.25 of the blue vuittons. Pretty sure this is where I fucked up because the makilla gorilla, well it's not an overly visually trippy strain? The body high is insanely heavy. I almost compared to it actually feels like I just took rip of DMT that lasts four hours.

I dropped the acid and then a half an hour later I ate the mushrooms. LSD was coming on with a familiar feeling. And much like mushrooms is any other time. I don't really feel it until it's too late and already intense, and then it's gone as fast as it came on.

About two hours into the experience all the novelties of both substances completely faded, I started losing touch with what was real and what was fake. I was watching Futurama with my mother in the room and the faces on the TV took on a very unfamiliar terrifying.

After doing some reading I found out that it's called the uncanny Valley. Luckily I had the wherewithal to know what was going on and then it was just a bad combination. Had I not cut the tab in half, that probably would've been one of the scariest things that's ever happened to me.
