T0:00-
Dosed in a gel cap on an empty stomach.
T0:40-
Mostly just feel tired. I am fairly sleep deprived going into this. I begin to
doze off.
T1:00-
I am awakened by a knock on my door. One of my friends decided to pay me a
surprise visit. I am certainly not used to knocks on my bedroom door and I am
grateful I was not tripping harder or this situation would have proven
impossible to navigate. It was a pleasant although unexpected visit (I would
prefer a message in advance in the future). As we were hanging out talking, I
noticed an odd feeling creeping up on me more and more. It wasn’t the churning
bodyload of a coming trip, or the odd shift in reality, but just a glowing high
and dry feeling, starting to smolder in my core. This demanded my focus and
attention and I quickly found myself zoning out in the conversation I was having.
No sensory effects were noted yet but I ended up dismissing my friend so I
could ride out whatever experience was approaching.
T1:45-
The bodyload creeps up now. My muscles are tense and my extremities are
shaking, as a slight nausea walks circles in my stomach before settling down to
sleep. I smoke some cannabis to mitigate these effects.
T2:00-
The world feels as though it’s melting, that everything is turning into liquid
and aether around me. This isn’t perceived visually, rather it’s just the
essence of that feeling being imposed on my mind. I am adrift and swimming
amongst this melted world that still appears very much solid in my eyes.
And
then, the most famous effect of all- I have begun to notice that music is
distinctly deeper. Though it is only slightly deeper in tone it has a sense of
depth in that it feels like it occupies more space, that is has more force and
booming cavernous energy behind it. I am listening to my music on shuffle to
explore the effect.
With
each song that comes on, the pitch drop is more and more noticeable. There is accompanied
by a sense of the waves cancelling each other out and going blank randomly,
like the different parts of each song I listen to have been shifted out of
phase in a way that they destructively interfere. My immersion into this
experience is like a bubble suddenly popped in my head and this is what remains,
similar to how one’s ears would pop on a plane. At this point it’s not particularly exciting, just weird and novel. I am
cognitively mostly lucid, with just the smoldering glowing high that is standard
with psychedelics.
T2:30-
I run into my roommate in the hallway while refilling my water and speak to her
a bit. It’s very strange- my voice is odd and deep and booming and I physically
feel as though my throat should be larger because of the depth of my voice.
It’s an odd dissonance that manifests psychosomatically. Her voice too is the
same kind of deep- it’s profoundly strange to witness that effect coming from a
living breathing human being.
I
am having fun, I am playing with more stimuli just to sample how intense the
effect is. I feel giggly and elated, not from any particular pharmacological
euphoric effect, but a giddiness as this novelty. I want to brag to all my
friends about this truly unique experience. I message and chat with many
different people who I have told about this drug before I had tasted it,
conversation flows smoothly and articulately. I’m having a great deal of fun
sharing the details of my particularly odd experience with others.
I
decide to continue experimenting with different auditory inputs, this time by
watching an episode of “The Simpsons”. I figure it will be something familiar
that exists as a clear reference point in my mind so I will be able to clearly
discern how sound has been altered. To that end, I settled on one of the
episodes I had seen the most times, “Bart vs. Australia”.
T2:55-
After watching the episode, I get the impression that the auditory effects seem
to be a thin veneer, not fully formed. For the duration of watching the show, they
lapse in and out of existence but sometimes they'll catch on me like a sunbeam
shining off of a glittering crystal. They duck in and out and are at times very
intense and jarring, while at others being hardly noticeable. This seems to
fade in and out at random, though to a degree It's like the effect is more pronounced
the more I'm paying attention to it.
T3:30-
I take a gravity bong hit of weed and prepare to take nitrous, just to delve
even deeper. I fill two balloons with the sweet gas, one balloon with two
canisters and the other with just one canister. Upon getting ready to take the
plunge, the balloon with one canister pops. Oh well.
The
effects of nitrous were like I was lying down in a great void while a wall of
sound, big deep black and shining blasted in the distance, its sound cavernous
and immense. But I was paralyzed, floating in place, frozen into the mirror
stillness of an inky puddle while this menacing auditory monolith loomed in the
distance, blotting out the sun and drenching me in the shadow of its sound. The
flanging waves of its thunder were visible as they roared through the air,
rippling the fabric of reality with them. Within a minute or two the effects
had predictably faded, leaving me feeling spaced out and dizzy, also as
expected. There wasn’t much observed synergy between the substances, save for the
fact that the typical nitrous flanging and phaser effect was deeper and heavier.
T5:00-
I have been languid and bored for the last few hours, doing nothing but
browsing the internet and listening to music. The novelty has for the most part
entirely worn off from the experience. I decide to dose 8 mg 3-MeO-PCP orally
just to spice things up a little bit.
T5:30-
Start to feel the dissociation like a big cloud or a huge fog bank hovering
over my brain, blurring and distorting everything that passes and streams
through it. What were once crystal clear distortions have been sacrificed to
noise and reverberation, the auditory inputs turning fuzzy and buzzy. Like
sunlight through an overcast day, the light is dimmed and scattered.
T5:40-
There is now a distinctive but mild tinnitus. It is very slightly annoying at
worst not existing to any degree where I would consider it intrusive or
problematic. Other than that, there is the typical expected interplay of
3-MeO-PCP with a psychedelic, though it is a very atypical psychedelic. The strange
physical warping, the bubbly numbness, the sense that my field of vision is
clenching and flashing.
T6:00-
I am feeling like there is a great glacier crawling through my mind, shedding
pulses of frigid intensity and strobing my field of vision. My fingertips are
numb and everything still sounds deep. The beating and pulsing rages like a
storm, further mutating soundwaves around them. I decide to go out for a walk, throwing
a dash of etizolam onto the stack.
T6:20-
I set out. I am unsure of why I am doing this or whether this is a good idea.
Seemingly smelling that I had stepped outdoors, the dissociation pounced on me
full force, quickly subduing my mind. I feel so genuinely and intensely out of
touch with reality. I do not feel like I am actually outside, and I am
questioning the physical existence of every object around me, I am questioning
the very flow of time that all of these objects are subject to. My movements
are uncoordinated and I am surely stumbling like a drunk. The distant appear
close and the close appear distant.
I
wanted to walk to the river nearby, stand on the bridge and feel the glorious
breeze and gaze upon the glowing skyline of my city in a heavily altered state.
I stopped at a nearby park along the way for a breather and noticed the effects
reeling away- perhaps this was the etizolam cutting things off? I shouldn’t
have thrown that into the mix. I desperately smoke cannabis to try and elevate
myself again. I sat amongst tree roots as the effects creeped back in with the generous
application of that cannabis. They enclosed me, embraced me, then choked and
entombed me, the full moon inundating the night with a shower of silvery light
that imparted the world with an eerie metallic glow, a glow that chewed away at
my cognitively mangled form. As nice as the cannabis was, I suddenly found
myself extremely thirsty.
Reaching
a place where I could obtain water was a long and arduous walk on a warm night,
the stresses of which imparted me with an even deeper sense of creeping
sobriety. I was able to stop in a 24 hour convenience store (It was about 2 AM
now) and was lucid enough to buy several bottles. Why I didn’t just fill a free
cup is beyond me. The auditory effects are only barely noticeable now.
T8:00-
I finally journey out to the bridge, mostly feeling dazed and tired. Further
application of cannabis plunges my head back beneath the water. Truly I am
nothing but a hedonist, greedily hunting for memories and experiences and
ravenously devouring them. They pass through my drug infested gullet, mangled
and deconstructed into their raw essences, the only thing that can be distilled
from the mnemonic fog of this obscured mind. The skyline is beautiful, the
lights dance on the reflection of the water, everything is still pulsing and
flashing and my body still feels as though I am levitating above the bench I am
sitting on. It is as if I a tuning into a great deep bass note thrumming at the
heart of all of these lights and buildings, of the latent fury of the potential
energy of so much constructed against the will of nature. I am truly alone in
this tempestuous virtual world, entirely in the present and sequestered from all
that came before and all that came after me, sequestered from all that exists
around me except as pure sensory perception. It was so still around me, I felt
like the only thing moving through a frozen world.
I
eventually decide I should get some sleep and make the trek home, catching a
bus that shortens what would otherwise be a very taxing walk. At this point,
despite all of my attempts to fight it, the etizolam and the vestiges of the 3-MeO-PCP
have taken their place at the forefront of my mind, fogging my memory. I
remember very little of the bus ride home, other than everyone on it seemed to
be asleep or on the verge of falling asleep. Illuminated by several incompetent
and flickering fluorescent lights, it was such a dim and quiet and starkly
tranquil yet unnerving space. The auditory effects are certainly gone by now.
T9:00-
I finally arrive home. It’s comfortable and I am still catching visuals
according to my notes but my memory of this is faint. They are described as
bright feathery flashes and radiating feathers on the whitespace of my computer
screen. Alternatively they are coralline, iridescent, the playful manifestation
of the afterglow, the fireflies at dusk after a full summer day. I dosed more
etizolam, ~1 mg, showered, smoked some more, and passed out, getting a long and
restful sleep.
