I have taken LSD about 12 times in my life. A lot of the times were quite interesting. I will proceed to tell the story of my first trip. I will also post stories of future ones. Some of these stories are in depth and some are stories with short descriptions and small interesting parts of them based on what I so choose lol. Thanks for reading!
So this acid trip (my first time) was in 2015 or 2016, so I was 15 or 16. I remember it was with my oldest friend i’ve had in my life, who we’ll call H. And we had invited a dude to trip with us, named Liam. I don’t remember what led up to tripping but I remember decent chunks and interesting parts. First off I remember the dude Liam had the first vape I ever seen in person which was cool. Funny enough I thought the guy (Liam) was cool for having one. And what’s also funny is that he had a box mod. I don’t remember the exact one but a similar one is shown below.
What’s also funny/cool is this is before the surge of the Juul or pod vapes. Meaning, the vape shown above is the vape from the early stages of the emergence of vapes. These vapes could blow huge clouds but have very low nicotine compared to a Juu/Pod vape. For example, box mods (shown above) either have nicotine amounts of 3mg or 6mg.
Shown below is the juul and a common pod vape (called the Smok novo)
Just looking at the Juul and the Novo brings back memories. How could I have been fond (and still sort of am) of such a small simple device? It’s the fact that you could keep it in your pocket and do it anywhere. And the aesthetic and beautifulness of it. And the fact that you don’t need a lighter and it will basically last forever because all you need to do is recharge it and put in new pods and e-juice. And most of all: the buzz. If you were to go even 10 hours without inhaling it (like going to sleep) and you were to wake up and inhale it, you’d get this buzz which is free dopamine. It calms you down but also energizes you. The buzz makes you lightheaded and forget reality for atleast a few seconds. Did I also mention that you could do it ANYWHERE! On planes, in the bathroom, in your room, ANYWHERE! And again, no one knows the dangers, so it’s pretty social acceptable to inhale it 100s of times a day. I’m three years sober from it but just looking at those vape designs and knowing that it was always there for me (in my pocket) just makes me miss it. So why do I abstain? Mainly: money and because I have a chronic cough that I am trying to treat and I certainly know that vaping won’t help it.
Anyway, back to the LSD story. Our buddy Liam had a pocket mod which I thought was cool and I hit it I think. To this day my other buddy during the trip (H) always tells me how much of a loser Liam was and I don’t know why. All I remember was Liam was really chill and cool and minded his own business. Yes both him and H went to an alternative school for people who flunked/ got in too much trouble in normal high school (the one I went to) but whatever.
So yeah, in that trip I remember taking the acid with all of them. I believe it was 100ug (one tab — a standard dose). Then I remember we all just walked to the beach. Then I remember we were all chilling under a tree and the acid kicked in and I decided to take a vow of silence. All I remember is both H and Liam talking for a while and then they both realized I had been dead quiet. They asked each other: “Why is Max not talking?”. Lol. Then we walked to some apartments nearby and met up with this dude named Andrew. Again I was dead quiet and this guy also asked “Why is Max not talking? Lol.
Then I forget what happens after but I remember going back to H’s house. I remember I was weirdly in the mood to party and have excitement. Liam knew some dudes nearby who were always down to party. H didn’t wanna party though and wanted to chill at home. So I remember just me and Liam walking to his friends’ house. I remember walking up a hill with him and feeling like I was in a neverending music video. The crunch of my feet hitting the concrete and the crunch over and over creating this loop of my feet hitting the concrete over and over like I was in an endless foot hitting concrete trance.
Then we finally get to Liam’s friends’ house. It was basically a trap/heroin house. We both walk in and it reeks of weed. It is dead quiet and there is minimal lighting. We walk through the room after getting in the front door and get to the end of the house where it is the living room. All we see is Liam’s friend named Adam and another dude named Ray. Funny enough, I actually had in school suspension with Ray like a year before.
It is sketchy as hell. The lighting in the living room is so dim and it just feels really ghetto and dirty.. I don’t know how else to describe it. A little about Adam and Ray: Ray is this tall skinny black dude who is a big stoner and not very academic (bad grades in school I think). Adam is this skinny white guy who I have no idea about his history really. But for both of them I believe they both did heroin. I literally walk into the living room with Liam and they are sprawled out on the couch with their eyes half open. I don’t think they were just high on weed.
Anyways, we all talk to eachother and they agree to drive us to a party nearby. So we get into their car. We must be driving for like 5 minutes when I notice that Adam’s driving is just really careless and not very dilligent. I have this weird feeling that we’re gonna get into an accident and die. So I start going crazy and shout to let me out. So I get out and I remember I am literally down the street from the friend H’s house (who I also took acid with).
And again I go into this weird trance. I remember it was dark out and cars were passing by. The trance felt like it was happening because I went into this weird loop where I was walking and then i’d look backward and then forwards. And then i’d keep looking backwards and forwards and hearing cars pass and getting scared. And this would happen over and over and it literally felt like the scenery and sounds and what I was doing was happening over and over and nothing was changing. Meaning, I wasn’t getting closer to H’s house and it felt like it was taking forever. And the loop of hearing cars pass and my feet walking and looking backwards and forwards and feeling like i’m seeing/ the same things are happening over and over with no change really scared me.
So I think I start getting hysterical and crying and feeling like i’m dying. So I call H. It turns out, he went over to another friend’s house when he thought I was going to party with Liam and Adam and Ray. So when I call H, he tells the other friend (who he went to’s house while I was gone) that I am having a breakdown and they agree to walk back to H’s house. So then I finally meet up with H and the other friend (who we’ll call N) at H’s house ( who again, is my other main friend who I started the trip with with Liam).
Then they calm me down and we all walk together to N’s house. I remember getting in N’s house and we all walk upstairs to N’s room. Then I remember calming down as we watched the Trainspotting movie and I weirdly fell asleep during it. Why was it weird? Well, I think I was only 8 hours into the acid trip, and acid is supposed to last like 12 hours and make you really energetic and restless, so it was strange I was able to fall asleep.
Overall, just like in real life, the acid trip had good and bad moments. I don’t remember the visuals of that trip too well (but I do for other ones). But I do remember the sort of coolness from taking a vow of silence and the cool music like trance of walking up a hill hitting the concrete. It also felt nice meeting up with my loyal friends H and N and calming down and falling asleep.
That’s just one of my acid stories. Check out later for future ones! Thanks for reading,
Viper.
