Had a gel tab last week I think and I've been long over due with a trip report. Possibly Friday when the blizzard was taking place all over the country.
The only times I've tripped off of this vendor's paper tabs it was combined with other substances. This time, I had only a gel tab and nothing else. With that being said, I can't really compare between his paper and gel options. What I do know is that they are both potent and amazing. The most LSD I have taken is around 1000ugs, and I find it interesting that I can get in the same trip-space with 100ug as with higher amounts. This gel 100ug experience was on-par and above and beyond some of my other past experiences with the same amount, without mixing any other substances.
[One hour after a gel tab melted in my mouth]
Music is playing on my phone. I begin to see alien beings across the carpet and my jeans. These are not fractal aliens. These are not patterns. They are beings, the same type you would see looking through a window out of a spaceship. The carpet was a window into another realm, and the texture of the window itself was flowing and patterned.
I looked out of my windows, and I could see the snow falling. I felt like I was in a movie theater. I was in the Truman show, and I had to get out of the house and run as fast as I could. Before the set around me would fill me up and anticipate my moves.
What was it that I thought before the trip began? I got shivers all up and down my spine. I read in a forum about a person who gauges how his trip will go off of those shivers. I thought back to other trips and remembered that I feel the same shiver I felt just then before I begin to trip, and when it's been strongest before the trip began has also been when I've become injured in my adventures.
Before the trip began, these shivers made me expect for me to go outside. I was feeling the shivers in my spine, because they were a memory. I had already gone outside that night, it was fate. With the movie set idea scaring me, I was about ready to run outside. But I decided that's not what I wanted to do. I was just psyching myself out with the spine thing. I would not freeze tonight in the sort of dazed trips I usually find myself in. I have been outside in the cold in shorts and without jackets before, in the middle of winter tripping, and I love it with all my being. But this night was not the night for me to leave my cozy room.
I stayed back, layed across my floor, and looked at a statue I keep in my room. This went on for a long time. I had turned off the lights long ago, and I could see the carpet underneath my phone flashing white as if the phone screen was flashing. I checked the phone, nothing.
I continued to watch the carpet do this sort of flashing, and I checked if light was leaking in through the windows and if that was causing it. This wasn't happening within my mind. I have observed reality "glitches" before while tripping and confirmed them to have occurred the next day. I figured I wouldn't look into this carpet "glitch", I would just watch it and enjoy it while it occurred. To this day, I don't know why it was happening.
I called someone I know and was on the phone with them for about five hours. I was frozen in the past, in a trip I had with them about two weeks prior. I was feeling them, even though they were far away, and my thoughts were all over the place. I stood for so long in places that I could see indentations in the carpet after I walked away. I also dug at the carpet with my fingers, because I missed the person I was on the phone with and when we spoke I touched the carpet since I couldn't touch them.
When I got up, the digging with my nails and the feet imprints had created a beautiful work of art. I can confirm that it was artwork, and not just a hallucination or amplification induced by the LSD. When I took photos with the phone, the flash took out all of my details and left barely discernible foot prints. When I turned on the light and used no flash, the same thing happened. And when I took photos without any light or flash, nothing could really be seen. I hoped that I could raise the levels of certain colors later, post-production to enhance the photo and see it as my eye did. I have not tried it, but I am more than certain that no amount of editing will display the fine details that the camera could never hope to catch in this day and age. I sketched a metaphor of what I saw, as best as I could, but the sketch was very far from how the carpet looked. I was alright knowing that the carpet art would be gone within a few hours or days, as the imprints rose up and new feet prints erased the details. I remembered it as best as I could, and told myself I could do it again any time. Although if I ever did it again, it would be deliberate. This artwork before me, it was a spontaneous and not-deliberate piece of art. It was temporary, and it was very advanced.
I do not want to go into the details of the things my feet and hands had created, because I hope to recreate that work and share it publicly one day. I am fine sharing that I use psychedelics, but the DNM would raise more questions than I'm willing to answer to those who's eyes would glaze over and stop listening after uttering just a sentence or two, barely beginning to even explain why I acquire these tools of healing and dose myself with them.
10 hours or so after I dosed the LSD, it was 7 in the morning. I showered and fell asleep at around 9 or 10. Then I woke up at 1 and had to start working on something I had put off for a week. The deadline was a day before, I ended up getting the work done by the next day. The client found someone else to do half of the work I completed, and to this day, I'm a little bit bummed about it. Because I said if they didn't use this part of the work, I wouldn't charge for it.
Like why the fuck would I say that you know? Why give myself a hassle and become a slave? I don't know really, I was under a lot of pressure to earn funds so I accepted the work without really thinking how much of a drag it can be designing shit sometimes.
I'd rather design cool stuff in the carpet for free, cool stuff I'll never see again, but cool stuff that will make me happy. You know?
All in all, it was a good trip, and one that stands out from the nearly hundred trips I've taken in my lifetime.
Sorry to hear you didn't get to finish the job you were assigned, been there too many times due to alcohol mostly :/. However, it's cool there are gel tabs still around! Most of the time I see them are at festivals, not the street. Probably due to stealth reasons, same as liquid. I remember the time I got microdots and saved on to them for months due to their rarity. Good score and trip report!
