Lsd is like a toy that induces some mild mental plasticity, and playing with it lets you try on different brain shapes.

You start feeling/tasting the effects in your jaw about ten minutes or so after eating a tab, it’s a but like that feeling you get after rollercoasters but in your salivary glands, idk it’s hard to describe.

At this point I like to be alone, settled in a cool, dimly lit room, preferably lying on my back and on a tile floor (carpet is disgusting when you’re tripping) and I let my mind wander and start playing.

Day to day I’m incredibly visual, it comes naturally and isn’t particularly entertaining any more, I can easily create a looping klein bottle out of an apple and imagine things in 3d spaces. We’re long past rotating cows in this bad boi.

What I’m not able to do ’normally’ though, is build music in my mind. The complex layering and holding all those moving parts in my mind at once is just not possible for me. Unless I’m on acid. Then I’m composing symphonies and exploring all the genres of maths and pattern building I can comprehend.

Acid for is a very sensory high, you will be aware of things you didn’t know you had the ability to feel. It can be very overwhelming if you focus on it and let it be.

I hate being in public or around people on acid (tbh I really dislike such things sober too) and if I’m not careful and get overwhelmed, I can get very lost in all the nerve endings of my face. Having a face full of nerve endings is a very distractingly sensory experience.

Getting out of this groove is easy though, just distract yourself with something interesting once you become aware of being stuck, and avoid social spaces at all costs.

TLDR: lsd is best done alone, lying on my kitchen floor in the dark, so I can play in my imagination. Ymmv.
