Throughout my relatively short history with psychedelics thus far, I’ve had a number of unexplainable experiences with LSD, psilocybin, DMT, and DXM, but never what I’d consider a ‘bad trip’. This pattern of luck shattered last night, leaving me in the grips of a terrifying experience that I still cannot wrap my head around. To fully understand this experience, I feel it is important to detail the context surrounding it. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
My mental health is something I often fear for, and while psychedelics have taught me many important lessons, they have begun to produce increasingly sinister vibrations with each time I trip. These sinister undertones primarily emerge on the comeup of an experience, often manifesting in the form of vague, ill-defined imagery of maniacally laughing faces, glaring eyes, and sharp tendrils moving back and forth slowly. Attempting to say with certainty what causes this phenomenon would likely be impossible, though I believe it could be due to my persistent lack of sleep. My relationship with sleep has been spotty at best for nearly a year now, a fact which is made apparent by my occasional bouts of hallucinations and extreme paranoia. Still though, I thought very little of this and attempted to ignore it so as to avoid a trip taking a turn for the worse. Obviously, though, it grew too intense to ignore and culminated in a sudden and hellish experience that has left me shaken since it happened.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
It was 8:20 P.M. and the sun was long gone from the sky. I had just finished eating dinner and prepared myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich stuffed with 3.6 grams of mushrooms and a single tab of acid. This was a combination unfamiliar to me, though I was well acquainted with the substances on their own. I went on a short walk to kill time before it began and then settled down in my room under the warm cover of a blanket. I noticed the first effects around an hour after ingestion, and the subsequent comeup maintained a remarkably slow pace, leading me to believe the trip would be anticlimactic and uneventful. So, I went into the adjacent room where I had already prepared a pipeful of weed and took a few solid hits before returning to my room to relax and enjoy the rest of the experience. I spent the next couple of hours listening to Townes van Zandt and Herbie Hancock while watching the inside of my eyelids. I loved every second of it and found myself feeling fully at peace. The more I allowed my mind to drift off, the more it felt as though I was being held in the arms of someone behind me. I felt an intense love for everything around me. &lt;div class=&quot;pullquote-right1&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;pullquote-text&quot;&gt;I loved every second of it and found myself feeling fully at peace. The more I allowed my mind to drift off, the more it felt as though I was being held in the arms of someone behind me. I felt an intense love for everything around me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- , as many on psychedelics often do. --&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Around 1:15, the effects of the mushrooms began to wane slightly and the acid was still going strong. I decided I would return to the other room and smoke the remaining grass in my pipe to extend the peak of the trip and resume the blissful state I was now coming down from. After three or four pulls from the pipe, I suddenly felt extremely fatigued and lightheaded, as though I were about to faint at any given moment. I quickly straightened the desktop up and set my alarm for the morning before heading back into my bed, worried I would pass out. I buried my head into my pillow to try to relax and rest my mind for a bit. When my eyes closed, I was near immediately overwhelmed by what I was witnessing. A floating head of Ronald Reagan (no clue why) soared across my field of view, mockingly laughing as it passed. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Then, my vision went entirely dark before the word ‘Lucifer’ appeared in glowing white lettering. This sent a rush of fear into me, despite never having been a religious person. What followed was a brief, but seemingly endless onslaught of horrific, sullen imagery and incoherent, dysphoric thoughts about impending death, fear, and speaking to extraterrestrial beings. I cannot fully recall what conclusion was reached through these thoughts other than a vague sense of terror and complete loss of sanity. I was oddly unphased by this at the time, only finding it mildly odd, but as I continue to try to wrap my head around the experience it becomes more disturbing and strange. Despite having taken the acid only five hours earlier, I then went to sleep around 1:30, as I knew I would only grow more shaken by the experience the more I thought about it. It is now 16 hours since I first ate the acid and mushroom sandwich, and I am relatively back to baseline, although the nonspecific paranoia and confusion remain. &lt;!-- I plan to ease off on the psychedelics in hopes that these feelings will dissipate. --&gt;&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
