100 Datura Seeds + 300 ug Acid Note: About a week ago, I discovered a fascinating corner of the internet: trip reports. Although I’m very familiar with LSD and shrooms, despite never having done them, I never fully grasped how powerful and life-changing these substances can be.

Summary
LSD is an extremely potent classical psychedelic with a relatively safe physiological profile but powerful psychological effects. Tolerance develops rapidly (within hours) and dissipates within 5-7 days. Set and setting are crucial for minimizing adverse reactions.
Perspectives
“This is the greatest trip I had ever had thusfar. I was in total control of myself and my thoughts the entire time but could let my mind drift off to my discretion.”
“I have experienced so many beautiful moments, and I believe learned much, through the use of this remarkable drug.”

For reference, I'm a night audit (work 12am to 8am) it is my only night off as I work 6 days a week. I live in the mountains with staff housing. So we are 40 min away from the nearest town to give an idea of where we are.
Ok, this will probably be more extreme than the usual trip post. I am unapologetic. I have tried to write this in a way that captured the experience I had, which was ... look, I'll let the piece speak for itself. This is EXPLICIT.
At the time I was 16[M] going on a huge bender after a breakup. I had tried MDMA, benzos, percs, shrooms and speed. I woke up around 5pm to find a tab of acid in my pocket that i don’t remember buying. I’d never tried acid before so I wanted to do it alone in my room.
It always goes like this: I usually trip 2-3 times per year. Leading up to each experience, I always tend to forget why I’m even taking it — “why do I like LSD again? it can’t be that cool.
Discovered Sphongle through this subreddit few months ago, and I have been obsessed. It’s at a point where nothing else even comes close and it’s all I want to listen to always. While tripping, in the gym, on my walks, while cooking. It’s taken over my life.
I heard getting some acid up in the booty might make for a short, really intense trip... Lies. Earlier today I put a 100 ug tab in a gelcap with some water, rubbed a little chapstick on that doggie and pushed it up the shoot.
Ordinarily I don't get a lot of pleasure from anal. Yesterday I had an orgasm that lasted for about an hour. It was bliss. I could not move or speak during. Shockwaves still going through my bod. I felt my vessel being pumped.

Woke up quick, at about noon, just thought that I had to get enlightened soon. This is the 2nd weekend after two more of our kids have moved out of the house and there is a lot of work to be done.
The Night I Accidently did 4 tabs Prelude The experience was amazing, scary, exciting and definitely life changing. I spoke about my LSD experience with a couple of good mates. Excited to tell them what happened that night I soon learnt I need to choose who I tell carefully.
To give some context and background information: this is not my first trip on a psychedelic. Mushrooms was my first, then it was DMT and then acid (LSD or some research chemical, I'm not entirely sure).
'Painting Realizations: 10 Things I Learned From My First Trip' Before starting this report, Id like to explain who the people involved in my life that will be mentioned are. Ill refer to myself as Len. Im an international student who has recently moved to New York City to attend college.
It all started on January 10, 2008. This is a list of the events (minus some of the more embarrassing ones) that occurred on that day. I cannot be sure of the order in which they all occurred since my memories of it are all jumbled around, but Ill try my best to write it down it the right order.
Melting Art, Witches, Entity Contact and The Akashic Records. My first LSD Trip: I took the sugar cube around 8 or 8:30pm in front of a 7/11 while the dealer was right there. After he left I walked in the opposite direction down this street to my Russian friend's house which is pretty much already right there.
This was my first experience with this substance. I was extremely depressed about perceptions of my career stalling and post-graduate identity diffusion and losing touch with people who had mattered to me-- this depression had been growing on me gradually for years but lately had worsened further in severity.
WARNING: This is VERY long. But hopefully worth your while! On August 30th 2009 I had the trip of a lifetime. Ill start from the beginning Also, this is a pretty long story I realize, so I hope youll bear with me. I think anybody may find it interesting and hopefully valuable.

Note: This is a trip report I wrote literally over a decade ago. There are things in here that may be a bit dated, and a few things I'm not sure I even believe anymore - but it was a great day and the start of a long and amazing journey that changed my life.
Prior to writing this I have tried to explain the following experience to only one person in detail, and one other person in brief. My recent curiosity about the effects of Datura led me to read a number of reports on erowid.com, which then led me to read some LSD reports.
Date: August 7th, 2010 Time: 12:00pm - 10:00pm Drug: Lysergic acid diethylamide Dose: 1 Blotter (0:00) + 1/2 Blotter (+1:30) Location(s): Rocks State Park Baltimore Prelude: It had been over a year since I had last done LSD, or enjoyed any psychedelic for that matter.
PLEASE NOTE: I posted this trip report on another forum and didn't get a membership on this site until a month ago, so I finally found this section and realized I should share it here. It's a LONG read, but I've gotten an immense amount of positive feedback. I hope you have a good read.
Guys, here's an old trip report of mine, almost 15 years old, with a retrospective 420 days after the session tacked on after it. Enjoy! EXPLORERS IN THE FURTHER REGIONS OF EXPERIENCE Where to begin? Where to start telling the tale of the night my Old Self died, died on my living-room couch? That fateful night had been...
Substance(s): LSD, Nitrous, tobacco Dose: 2 *potent* hits of blotter, and quite a few bulbs of nitrous. This was my first experience with blotter. I have had microdots, liquid, and sugarcubes in the past. Setting: Small town college campus, springtime, sunny warm day. Set: Very good mood, with 2 very good friends.
