It's high noon in Woolwich, London, and four dedicated psychonauts are preparing themselves for a nice lunch... of LSD. We're each taking 2 100 microgram hits at 1pm, and we've got ourselves holed up in my trip fortress in the loft of a converted Napoleonic munitions factory, with the phones unplugged and only this forum as our window to reality. The cast for today: Goons: Major Failure Male, 5'9", 14.5 stone, spirit guide: Al Swearengen Resonance Male, 5'9", 11 stone, spirit guide: Doctor Zoidberg Street_Hotdog Male, 6'6", 15.5 stone, spirit guide: Geodude Non-Goon: codename stoatzart Female, 5'8" , 9.5 stone, spirit guide: Deinocheirus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinocheirus) All four of us have done shrooms together twice and weed countless times, while resonance, hotdog and myself have a longer history of doing shrooms together. We spent last night smoking bowls and listening to various things, and we're just finishing rigging the place up for tripping before we drop the tabs and start watching David Attenborough's Planet Earth. Street hotdog is hanging up a colossal image of ganesh in front of one of our big windows, Resonance is mooching around drinking juice and sorting the kitchen out, and Stoatzart is taking a shower. Wish us luck guys; the three of us goons will be posting our thoughts and reflections throughout the next twelve hours or so, so join us at 1pm GMT for the crunch.

Poster: Resonance Just another preliminary post here. Last night was quite a wild one. I drank two huge bottles of Nigerian lager, and being the lightweight that I am, woke up with a bit of sore head. I've got a bit of a sniffle too, but since I've seen that episode of House where Hugh Laurie drops LSD to cure a migraine I figure I'll be just fine. Major Failure has a mild case of the runs, so you may be wise to anticipate a pants-making GBS threads extravaganza. We've also got a Wii in the house. Plasma Pong is going to blow my mind, although I realise that playing games may be the last thing I want to do when we're knee deep in the mire. We're a close-knit group, so it should be good times. We were snapping at each other this morning over absolutely nothing, but I put that down to the pre-trip jitters. Soundgarden's on the jukebox right now. Things aren't looking so good... I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota. I'm British. Is Minnesota really that bad a place?

watching the "shallow seas " episode of planet earth. It's a good choice. Ganesh is starting to look relatively interesting.

Resonance: Full-body tingles kicking in. Think we're all pretty much on the same page right now. Just had to turn Planet Earth off because it started seeming a bit too violent. Strapping ourselves in for what could be a bumpy ride. Tripping in the daylight is quite a novelty. Don't think I'd want to try playing the Wii right now. The bathroom tiles were looking very strange a moment ago. Started seeing streaks of light shooting across the squares. Bodily functions felt weird too. Listening to Porcupine Tree 'Trains'. Clichéd? Absolutely.

Euphoria kicking in. Watching the raging River Thames out of the window. Incredibly intense. The music is ripping me apart right now. Seems like a more peaceful, gradual comeup than shrooms. Enjoying it very much. Think my peripheral vision is starting to get a little cheeky...

yeah, I think I'm definitely sideways now. The music wire just came out of our laptop and it was like not being able to breathe for a minute - we all flapped until we had the pipe plugged back in! This is remarkably odd, I have that quintessentially psychedelic feeling of being very "deeply within" something, as if there were a lot of thoughts looming around my immediate sphere of perception, queuing for my attention and clustering to observe my field of vision at the same time. While I have been typing this post I would definitely say I had "come up",just shy of eighty five minutes into this adventure. Resonance has just commented that he, too, has the "under the sea" feeling. Yeah, definitely on acid now. That's rather wonderful.

Resonance: Having a loving blast now. Listening to Shpongle. Thanks to people who are replying! Really appreciate it, but slightly too battered and distracted to respond. The Ganesh wall hanging is proving to be a big hit. The other three are rocking out over there right now. poo poo. Street hotdog just put some 3D glasses on me. That's different. Good to have trip companions, that's for sure. We're all in our early twenties, by the way.

Resonance: loving hell, Major and Stoatz are off to fetch the pet snakes now.
|
# ¿ Jan 20, 2007 17:16 |
|
Resonance: Well, they said they were off to fetch the snakes, but it's become painfully clear to Street Hotdog and I that they're just having sex. Stoatz is fetching major's snake, if you will. Failure just said "Being on LSD from moment-to-moment is like shuffling a pack of cards, and every now and then you get the 'acid card,' but you're not sure when you have it. Or something like that. As soon as I can get a handle on this trip I keep feeling like it dumps me back in to a different level. Major Failure fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jan 20, 2007 |

Resonance: My Bloody Valentine now... 'Loveless', of course. Simply incredible. Still have absolutely no footing in this trip. I'm used to feeling like I have at least one foot anchored somewhere, but not at all with LSD. I think that's the loving charm. King Psychedelic indeed. What a beast!

Resonance: Tripping when you're slightly under the weather is alright too... you're aware of the illness, but it's not exactly going to get in the way of the chemical.

major failure: this is like being a guest in my own loving chatshow. Wonderful. The lights are out and the glowsticks are here, and this is one hell of a loving drug, let me tell you. This is like a loving advert for acid. I just stepped into the shower and what happened inside was one of the most perfect moments of my life. I've got this much to say, and this much room to say it in, and so I'll be content to say very little at all. I'll have it all in my head for the rest of my life anyway, thank God. Hooray for this!

Resonance: If I was ever put on trial for being a suspected drug person, and if for some reason I decided to deny it, the knockout blow from the prosecution lawyers would be the image of me enjoying the most amazing shower of my life, with the only illumination being a glowing necklace around my neck.

tehschulman posted:Yes YES! These guys are perfect for tripping to. I'd also suggest Mogwai if anyone has some kicing around on an iPod somewhere. Keep up the great thread guys and stay positive! Acid makes for some great memories hello you, major failure here. I wrote the last post too, how about this eh? I don't know whether it's because I croaked that boke a minute ago, but a legendary fresh wave has hit JEEBUS to take recourse to my spirit guide once more, it's like that preacher in deadwood.... when he's having one of his nightmarish tumour-induced fits, and looks like he's seeing angels? Yeah, I can see the angels, but without any of the pain and suffering this really is a fascinating drug. I'm looking forward to trying a more intense dose sometime.

"speak! speak! use words! paint a picture of images with your mouth!" it's just occurred to me that if I did this at the age of 80, it would still feel the same. In that way, there's all kinds of lovely implications

Resonance: gently caress me. I've just now had the realisation hit me of how loving beautifully the phrase "acid shifting gears on you" describes the experience. Just had some weed, and I've been loving turbocharged into a different phase. Can barely organise my thoughts now. Incredibly tough. These two drugs colliding is quite inexplicable right now. Unbearably hilarious conversations happening all around me. Life fucks me up.

the old internet, eh? things just bashed through into a whole new loving cellar for me like a rampaging cave troll! we're in the cocksucking crystal maze here have found myself surveying various aspects of my perception in order as if they werre familiar creatures in a zoo, exhibiting unusual new behaviours I'll gave to abandon this train f thoughts now, things just went through the making GBS threads window sensations of growling dogs and purple lanterns in the shifting gloom just crikey still having the most incredible time! a++ would trip balls again

Resonance; acid and weed, makes your eyes bleed!!! Weed has really made this trip much more intense.

Almost unbearably intense now. Feels like my reality is shattering. Pretty dark poo poo. Feels like I'm watching myself, but I know it's the acid loving me. Not sure if the weed had that much effect. Strapping myself in for a rough next phase!

Resonance: Jesus, I tell ya. One moment you think you're a wily old psychonaut, then the next moment you're being slapped with an acid-shaped shovel. Think I'm doing alright. Listening to Incubus.
