This is my first LSD experience at an age of 20. No psychedelic experience before. The trip lasted 19 hours. The experience was more of a fun time than inspiring so the report will mostly be about the observed effects. I had no tripsitter as I was worried that I would have to entertain that person during my trip but I also prefer to be alone. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
BACKGROUND: 
&lt;br&gt;
This year I decided to try some drugs which, I believed, should be experienced at least once in a lifetime. First one was MDMA which was rather disappointing. The idea of trying psychedelics was already there when I was 17. I decided that I should try salvia maybe if I ever get the chance. This chance never came. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Only recently I came to the idea of trying LSD when I randomly landed at a video of someone describing his experience which seemed to be really intense. I believed LSD was a party drug (which it can be) and that it wouldn&#x27;t be interesting but then I got curious and decided to try some. The main reason for taking it was curiosity and fun.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
PREPARATION:
&lt;br&gt;
The preparation phase went for 1 - 2 weeks. It consisted of reading countless FAQs, information and experiences. I especially researched the potential negative effects. I ordered some L-theanine before the trip because of its promised calming effects against anxiety. I chose a day for the trip where I had no obligations for the following 2 days. I decided that I should take it in nature and had an idea for a location but didn&#x27;t visit it before. I had a perfect sleep of 9 hours in the night before the trip. No food was eaten before taking the tab. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
MINDSET &amp;amp; SETTING: 
&lt;br&gt;
I had no big expectation from the trip. I didn&#x27;t primarily seek enlightenment or life lessons. I am a really introspective person and tend to think alot about life in general. I was also heavily depressed during the last year and I believe I still am but not as bad as before. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
On the day of the trip I was in a neutral state. I decided not to think about the problems in life and simply enjoy the good weather and nature. I had mixed feelings of excitement but also a little anxiety because it was the first time. I arrived at an empty spot in a park at afternoon and couldn&#x27;t stay there. I have a phobia of flying insects and there were alot of them. I spent an hour trying to find a new spot without people but also without many insects. I remembered a good spot at a lake in a forest which had no flowers at all meaning no bees or wasps. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
The lake had some swimmers but I managed to find a comfortable spot with no people and a beautiful view. I sat there for 20 minutes and took the 220ug tab around 1 PM. I held it under my tongue for 10 minutes and swallowed it. The tab tasted like nothing. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
THE COMEUP: 
&lt;br&gt;
I had some anxiety during the first 30 minutes. I was constantly asking myself what will happen now but then I just decided to think about nothing at all and listen to music. After 1 hour I started feeling strange, like my head was becoming really slow and heavy. 30 minutes later I started seeing some visuals. Everything looked like it had a wave effect and the colors started mildly changing every second. I felt great, more euphoric because it simply looked funny and beautiful at the same time. The music became even better. Not long after the visuals became very intense. I noticed my hands shaking intensely. I needed to stare 2 seconds at anything and it would get really strong black outlines. When I looked on my arm it would look like I had black veins because my hair would get strong outlines. What surprised me was that I had no strong hallucinations like seeing something that isn&#x27;t there.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
THE PEAK: 
&lt;br&gt;
The sad part about the peak is that I actively kept thinking about not going insane. I lost the sense of time and reality, I still saw the wavy, color changing visuals and my phone screen looked like it was melting. I felt like I am the tree which I was leaning against and my field of view widened. Time felt very slow.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I started to slightly panic because I still thought about the potential negative effects. I believed that my brain could trick me into thinking that I still sit at the same place but in reality I would already be doing something harmful. It felt like I was entering a fake dimension created by my mind. The trip still felt great but sometimes I would be scared when the music had repetitive parts which made me think that time would repeat itself over and over endlessly. I skipped such music parts to confirm that I wasn&#x27;t going insane. I also did what I called reality checks where I would look left and right, touch a few objects and check if I was still leaning against a tree.    
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
After an hour I was surprised by some swimmers and people who passed by or just wanted to take a swim. I honestly didn&#x27;t expect to see anyone because it was the worst place to take a swim. My trip became worse because I thought that these people would know I&#x27;m tripping but at the same time they were an indicator that everything is still real and happening. I realized that I was not a tree. I had some really weird stare moments and at one moment a person waved at me for no reason and I just waved back. At that point it became all too confusing and I decided to go home. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
GETTING BACK HOME AND THE REST OF THE TRIP: 
&lt;br&gt;
I felt like I was capable of going back home and I had to take public transport. I focused as much as possible on being careful but luckily there was no potentially dangerous traffic. It felt like the train would never arrive though. I didn&#x27;t feel anxious around people and made it home safely. For 10 hours I would sit on my couch and listen to music. It was the best part of my trip. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I felt happy and comfortable. The music was amazing. I liked to imagine some juicy fruits and splashing colors or fresh juice when I listened to a certain type of positive energetic music and I couldn&#x27;t stop listening to that type. It felt amazing. At the same time the colors would change perfectly to my mood. Seriously I would&#x27;ve wanted to take a screenshot because the colors worked like a perfect photo filter. The wall had interesting patterns. Sometimes I would see cartoon figures, not really with my eye but with my mind. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Eating was weird. I had ordered a pizza and only ate half of it. I felt bad afterwards and forced myself to eat it when it was cold already. I kept feeling sorry for my body. I saw the part of the brain responsible for survival instincts as an individual which had to struggle throughout the trip while my other part of the brain would be a childish individual trying to have fun and not knowing the consequences and I kept apologizing to the survival brain. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Bathroom visits were also weird. When taking a piss I would see a mild hallucination of a big ocean wave and when looking into the mirror I would see myself as another person sometimes and judge accordingly. My face was slightly changing the shape and my pupils were pulsating. It all wasn&#x27;t too bad though. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I had a few moments during the trip where I would see a figure repetitively every few minutes or think about a word that doesn&#x27;t exist. I believed that the figure had some kind of meaning and that I would find out later in the trip with a big life lesson. Sadly that wasn&#x27;t the case. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I had a repetitive thought, I kept asking myself: What if this all isn&#x27;t real? What if I&#x27;m still sitting at that lake and it&#x27;s already night time while my brain creates this illusion of me being in my safe place. It was a scary thought. I asked myself if I would wake up from my trip after death in the fake realm. I refused to believe it and found the thought way too crazy.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
THE COMEDOWN: 
&lt;br&gt;
Around 2am I felt the effects getting weaker. I believed this was the time to go to sleep but I just couldn&#x27;t. I decided to watch the 5th element movie which was funny as hell. I became heavily frustrated at 4am because I still couldn&#x27;t sleep. So I just sat there for 4 hours, reading more experiences, trying to fall asleep a few more times, watching videos and thinking about the trip. It was the worst but probably most inspiring part of the trip. At 8am I tried to sleep and managed to fall asleep at 9am for 3 hours. It didn&#x27;t feel like sleep but I also didn&#x27;t feel tired after.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
THE DAY AFTER: 
&lt;br&gt;
I felt wonderful, like I had found energy for life again. I relaxed a little bit. I was invited to a party for that day. We had some weed and I wasn&#x27;t sure if I should take it. I decided to take a few hits and it felt much stronger to the point where I became anxious. I saw some light visuals again. I wasn&#x27;t drunk at all, only had 2 beers. I left earlier because I was falling asleep at the party.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
CONCLUSION: 
&lt;br&gt;
I must say, I probably had the best feeling of my life during the trip. Even if the comedown was unpleasant it will be an experience I will never forget. Sadly I haven&#x27;t had many inspiring thoughts and I believe it was because I worried about having a bad trip too much during the peak. I believe that I may have to wait a few years before actually being able to think about life properly during a trip but I sure can&#x27;t wait for it.&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
