Substance: LSD
Form: Brown Microdots
Dose: 2 Microdots (250-300ug each)
Location: Everywhere!


It was last Sunday and my two housemates J and D and another good friend S were sitting around wondering what to do and decided to eat some microdots. Realising we had a friends housewarming on that afternoon we thought it would be a challenge to see how long we could last there without going nuts or someone realising we were tripping. At 4pm we all took 1 microdot each and drove for 30 mins to the housewarming. The party wasn't quite as exciting as we had hoped but we stood around and played a few games of pool while the effects kicked in. The affect was quite mild because I think we were all holding ourselves back and trying to be normal. Nobody suspected a thing. We all agreed we needed to get the hell out of here! But with no driver we had a problem. D drove us here and assured us he could drive back. Cautiously we all agreed. (NOTE: I Do NOT recommend or endorse driving while tripping) I was in the backseat just taking in the view. The road was wet which made for some quite nice visuals but made the driving for D a bit trickier. J was in the front seat attempting to focus his energy and drive with D, it must have worked because somehow we miraculously made it home!

Once home we could let ourselves go and that we did! We cracked open a few beers and just let the trip unfold. On top of our TV is a massive double speaker meant for the back of a car which we decided looked like the televisions eyes! The screen was his mouth and I promptly blue-tacked a coke bottle lid on for his nose. We decided he looked angry so we ripped up triangles of paper and blue tacked them to the screen to look like giant teeth. We declared in a dominating monster/robot voice "Look at ME!!!.... I AM TELEVISION!!!!". we sat down and smiled. I don't think there was any doubt that the trips had kicked in. By this stage it was about two hours after the first trip and me and S decided to take a second microdot. J and D couldn't because they had work the next day so they were content with one.

We just sat around rambling and discussing the universe (as you do) for a while and I noticed the second kicking in. Things started to get a bit crazy. Pieces of the room started jumping around and I couldn't (read: didn't want to) concentrate on anything for more than 5 seconds. Nothing could hold my interest. The intensity died down and I lay back on the recliner and looked at the roof near the light. The light was a bright fluro and casted awesome shadows on the bumps of the paintwork. It's a spot I always love when on LSD. Then the roof kind of split open and there was a massive hole in the roof leading to another dimension. I was a bit wierded out by that but soon I got used to the intensity and just rolled with it. A friend that owed J money come over and we decided to play the how long can we make him think we are straight game. He wasn't phased by the monsterised tv and just started talking with us. We held it together perfectly until D flicked an ash of his smoke and flew toward me (admittedly about a metre away, hehe) I swerved to miss it and said "Whooaah! Take it easy man!!!" The ash came to rest on the floor nowhere near me and we all lost it and burst out laughing..our friend was still none the wiser! Eventually he left after not having a clue what we were rambling about. I love that on acid how you can talk total nonsense to each other and still make sense, but anyone not tripping has no idea what you are saying. We smoked a cigar which was kind of cool, watching the smoke swirl everywhere.

We then decided we needed to go on an adventure to the local club for a drink (going anywhere on LSD is an adventure) it is about 15 minutes walk away through lots of tree lined paths and road underpasses. It was an overcast slightly rainy night but the street lights reflecting on the wet road was just magic, each rock of asphalt looked like a glazed black bubble. We went under the last underpass which goes under a major Parkway. It was huge and seemed like some kind of natural rock formation you might find in the outback. It was like a giant rock monolith. After being awestruck by its beauty we continued underneath to see the lights of the club on top the hill, like 4 wise men heading toward the light. Only one of us was a member so we had to be signed in. I was too scattered to write my name and address so I just wrote WOW! on the stub. The carpet inside is bright blue and filled with multicolour spirals made of dots. You can imagine the reaction we had! The floor just spirals and flashes and spins, and don't even get me started on how exciting poker machines are when your on LSD (bling bling doo de dup de bing!!) We walked to the bar and me and J got beers and S and D got rum and cokes. We found a table and marvelled at our drinks for a while. The bubbles on the beer were filled with spectrum/rainbow colours, and the frost forming on the rum and coke was making upside down mountains on the edge of glass. Very impressive.

We then turned our sights to people watching. I'm sure everyone has sat in a public place or a bus and looked at people and tried to work out their stories just by looking at them. On LSD you can do this tenfold. I was able to look at someone for like a quarter of a second and know the story as the night went on our predictions were agreed by all to be spot on.

Two people we observed were at the table next to us,.two old men, about 60 odd. They were obviously old mates, maybe since school, but seemed to have some kind of unspoken hate for each other, they just sat there and drunk and watched the big screen. One went to the bar to get another round of drinks and we started talking about them a bit too loud. The old man realised we were talking about him and looked away but kept looking at us out the corner of his eye. We lost it and started laughing. D was the only one who was in direct line of sight of the man sitting right towards him. The rest of us were able to look away. D couldn't handle it. Every time the man looked over D would burst into a giggle fit. His friend got back but the old man wouldn't dare mention us to his friend, and we knew it. I felt terrible but what could we do! After a while he got up to buy his mate the next round of beers and somehow we managed to do exactly the same thing to the other old man! We were laughing so hard. The other got back with the drinks and sat down. So here were too old men, both totally intimidated by us, but neither would talk to the other about it. Both men were looking at us, but neither knew that the other knew. We were unintentionally torturing these poor bastards! Eventually they changed tables, but made up some excuse that had nothing to do with us. We all took deep breaths and thanked ourselves that it was over!

We got another round of drinks. I got a Bourbon but S and J decided to get a gin and tonic (more for something cool to look at than too drink). I ordered the drinks and the bar lady asked me if they wanted lemon in there drinks! I thought to myself. "how cool would floating lemon be too look at! Of course they fucking want lemon! Are you crazy!". I said "Yes please!!" I went back to the table and we marvelled at the lemon for ages, its transparent segments shinning in the light, it was magic! We pretty much did that until it was time for the next drink. We ordered the same but they were out of lemon!!! Being resourceful we recycled tho old lemons but mashed them and twisted the inside out so they looked like some kind of gangly deformed jellyfish in the drinks! We stared at them again for ages, moving the glasses in the light to get the best view.

By this stage quite an amount of coins from change had amassed on our table. Myself and D got into an argument about how the coins should be arranged to look natural as if they had just been thrown down. We argued quite intently for several minutes rearranging the coins into different arrangements. John said, "Woooah" and commented that we were looking at it from different angles,.and not just from different angles but from inside different people. At the end of the day we were just trying to share our point of view with each other. In each of our minds we were right and our arrangement was perfect, we just wanted to share that with each other! We apologised and laughed about the whole ordeal. I think there is a big lesson in that for anybody though. Any arguments from arranging coins to full blown war is at the end of the day just people trying to share their views with each other, it's not aggression,.its sharing. Its wanting to share something so bad,.and wanting to let people see what its like to see through your eyes so bad that it can build to aggression. We dubbed this phenomenon, Sharing Battles.

I went to the toilet and had to do number 2. My mind ran with thoughts of what had just happened and space and time and the universe! I must have thought a weeks worth of thoughts in 5 minutes. I finished my business and opened the door. I was startled by a man at the urinal and thought to myself, "Shit, I hope he didn't hear me!", referring to the mass of sound that must have been coming from my brain! Realising there was no sound I sighed relief and went to wash my hands. I looked at myself in the mirror (which I highly recommend on LSD) and saw myself without my ego. I looked at myself as other people see me, without any of my self inflicted doubts. I really liked what I saw I thought. I'm a pretty fucking cool guy! I strolled out and walked back to the table.

We marvelled at how our table had this bubble of insanity over it,.how could no one see the madness that was unfolding at our table. We laughed at the fact that we stayed perfectly under the radar, no one would ever suspect we were on drugs. If we did something weird they would just put it down to getting drunk, how wrong could they be. We were the ones pitying them for living in their mundane lives, drinking away their sorrows and partaking in the weekly ritual of coming to the pub. We on the other hand were aware of everything around us and having the time of ourlives. Sure I'm looking at my drink for 15 minutes,.sure D hasn't stopped laughing since we got here, but they were the sad ones. We felt sorry for them and decided too leave.

We went to the supermarket across the road,.not to buy anything, but just to spectate, like walking through an art gallery. Looking at the fruit and vegetables is amazing, so shiny and colourfull and organic..I walked down the isle with pickles and such. There was a jar of various items pickled in brine with little seeds. I had to stop myself with all my might from shaking it and holding it up to the light like a snow cone. We realised we had been in there for a long time and should probably buy something. We decided on soap so we could put it in the microwave when we got back (more on that later) but realised it might look a bit suspect if 4 guys buy 2 packets of soap,.so we decided to buy more weird items to totally confuse them. D found some kind of rubber dots for protecting the floor and J found a massive jar of hundreds and thousands commenting, "Do you guys know how well these bounce???" (More on that later too!) We purchased our items and proceeded on the walk home.

The walk home was much like the walk there except we went a different way. The wind had picked up and there was two types of wind, a high pitched low wind and low pitched wind in the trees leaves. They sang to us and competed for our attention. We picked flowers from peoples gardens and smelled them. We marvelled at the stars which had come out before us. I commented, "is that star moving?", "Is it the one that's on the right of that cross shape??" He managed to pick the exact star our of thousands,..even though the star wasn't moving at all! I was a bit spun out by that!

We arrived home and cleared the kitchen bench and proceeded to pour hundreds and thousands all over it watching them bounce and bounce and keep bouncing all over the floor. We got bowls and set up intricate puzzles were we poured them into one bowl and into another and made them bounce in weird directions. I sat down and J angled a bowl into my mouth and it rained hundreds and thousands all over my face and tongue. We each took turns and as the others had their go the tiny balls would move so fast you couldn't see them but the persons tongue would just appear to grow coloured balls on it as they stuck on. The whole thing ended in a massive hundreds and thousands fight throwing them at each other and all around the room. Needless to say we made quite the mess.

J went to bed as he started a new job the next day. The rest of got the soap and put it in the microwave. You need a good whitish fatty soap and what happens is it blows up to around ten times its size and forms a giant foamy ball…. But goes hard again when it cools down…. Its amazing. We made a soap sculpture and passed it around looking at the intricate details we had just made. Wow!

D had saved the thin wood strip that the cigar was wrapped in earlier. We turned the lights out and lit it and let it burn like incense, it was very relaxing and calming watching this glowing red ember. We did this for 20 minutes odd and then decided we should burn more things. We got a plate and burned some jasmine tea for the fragrance, then poured some Fanta into the tea leaves forming a lake in it..We lit some candles and the three of us started making a wall around the Fanta to make a little dam. We commented that it looked like a tiny city. We then started adding other ingredients to our city or civilisation as we called it..We had created life on a plate! One packet of raspberry jelly crystals, and a handful of sultana bran, a few oats and a toilet roll later our city had turned into a sprawling metropolis which we promptly set fire to.. We kept playing with it and manipulating and adding things too our civilisation for about an hour until the plate was full of so much wax we had created a giant candle on a plate full of kitchen ingredients. The liquid wax got so hot it started bubbling which mad us all lose it with laughter. The bubbling got so loud you could here it from the other end of the house. Our peacefull civilisation had turned into a bubbling fiery cauldron from hell. We realised with all the wax it would take ages to burn out so we decided to incite an ICE AGE! We got all the ice cubes from the fridge (some shaped like penguins) and made the fall down on the plate like meteors! About 15 ice cubes managed to put out all but small village fires on ourplate. We got our candles and covered the non melted ice cubes with wax so there skeletons would still be there after the ice had melted. We watched the last of our civilisation burn out.and commented, "What if life and the universe as we know it is just some guys fucking around on a plate!" Haha,.and with that we turned the lights on to see what we had made. a mess!

The trip was almost all worn of by now so we said our goodbyes and goodnights and went to bed. I lay in bed and closed my eyes and my mind created the most intricate amazing pictures in front of me. I saw a thousand shinning stars, each at the total mercy of mind, I could make them move anywhere but I got bored with that after 2 seconds so I turned them into a family of brooms with Mr Potato head style faces then I turned everything into a swirling mass of liquid which promptly turned itself into 12 or so cubes and formed a landscaped garden with hills and trees and shrubs. The shrubs danced mechanically on the architecturally sculpted grass. I thought, "enough of these grass crazies!" I laughed aloud at what I had just thought. I then realised that while all this wacky imagery (which I was controlling was going on) I was also thinking and assessing the nights events in my mind, also using pictures. I was thinking of 2 totally different things at the same time, each in vivid detail. .I was breathless at realising the untapped power of my mind. I closed my eyes again and a grid appeared,.I realised, "this is my mind" I am not looking through my eyes. The front on viewpoint then warped into all directions at once. I was looking in all direction, in front, behind, above and below at once. I was again breathless that I had never thought of this before. I had always used my mind as if looking through my eyes. With these discoveries under my belt I somehow managed to drift to sleep with crazy imagery again speeding through my mind.

And that's my trip

Your trip reports fucking amaze me mate. I'm impressed by the clarity you seem to have in recalling your trips, and the way in which you convey them to the reader. It seems like you had a fucking blast, and jesus christ, the 'need to trip' nerve is going gaga in the back of my brain. :)

Nice work, best read I've had in ages! :D

I just got myself a microdot. Ive only ever candy flipped on a half a trip (green buddah) and an e, then some pot, at chop fest in the bush north of sydney this year, and that was the time of my life. Although i didnt hallucinate at all.
Im going to do a bit more reading before i indulge on this dot. But I cant wait for it.
fantastic report. :)

I love this report! I missed it when you first posted it... thanks for sharing! :)

Great writing style and detail to the story, and a lot of fun to read. It made me feel like I was there, almost.

Two people we observed were at the table next to us,.two old men, about 60 odd. They were obviously old mates, maybe since school, but seemed to have some kind of unspoken hate for each other, they just sat there and drunk and watched the big screen. One went to the bar to get another round of drinks and we started talking about them a bit too loud. The old man realised we were talking about him and looked away but kept looking at us out the corner of his eye. We lost it and started laughing. D was the only one who was in direct line of sight of the man sitting right towards him. The rest of us were able to look away. D couldn't handle it. Every time the man looked over D would burst into a giggle fit. His friend got back but the old man wouldn't dare mention us to his friend, and we knew it. I felt terrible but what could we do!

Both men were looking at us, but neither knew that the other knew. We were unintentionally torturing these poor bastards! Eventually they changed tables, but made up some excuse that had nothing to do with us. We all took deep breaths and thanked ourselves that it was over!

I love being in a state of mind where reading people becomes so natural. Hilarious (yet sad in a way)!

By this stage quite an amount of coins from change had amassed on our table. Myself and D got into an argument about how the coins should be arranged to look natural as if they had just been thrown down. We argued quite intently for several minutes rearranging the coins into different arrangements. John said, "Woooah" and commented that we were looking at it from different angles,.and not just from different angles but from inside different people.

Extremely good point... I've thought that before but the impact of it was lost because I never remembered to write it down.

We arrived home and cleared the kitchen bench and proceeded to pour hundreds and thousands all over it watching them bounce and bounce and keep bouncing all over the floor. We got bowls and set up intricate puzzles were we poured them into one bowl and into another and made them bounce in weird directions. I sat down and J angled a bowl into my mouth and it rained hundreds and thousands all over my face and tongue. We each took turns and as the others had their go the tiny balls would move so fast you couldn't see them but the persons tongue would just appear to grow coloured balls on it as they stuck on. The whole thing ended in a massive hundreds and thousands fight throwing them at each other and all around the room. Needless to say we made quite the mess.

You need a good whitish fatty soap and what happens is it blows up to around ten times its size and forms a giant foamy ball…. But goes hard again when it cools down…. Its amazing. We made a soap sculpture and passed it around looking at the intricate details we had just made. Wow!

First of all, what is Hundreds of Thousands? I don't think we have it in America.

Second of all, that sounds like an awesome activity.

And third of all, I never knew that about soap and now I'm going to have to make a soap sculpture at some point with someone else who doesn't know that. =D

You should definitely submit this to Erowid. And write more reports. :)

Damn it! This was from 2003. No wonder I missed it! =D it sure as hell has me wanting to finally have a strong LSD trip though.
