i wonder how it's like to be on all of them at the same time
Can’t speak to being on all of them but multiple psychedelics at once change the visuals a bit and add confusion, at least in my experience.
Instead of the usual LSD color shift and rhythmic “breathing” of the room, the visuals were more geometric and I didn’t have the same mental clarity. I got a nonstop stream of thoughts that would interrupt my ability to follow where the thought was going.
On top of all the other visual noise it was like my peripherals had a colored plastic overlaying what I was seeing, so it would appear more green sometimes and red other times.
I wouldn’t recommend it. The experience may be completely different from mine because mine was LSD, NBOMe, and a synthetic psilocybin analogue, but sticking with either LSD or psilocybin is way better. Each drug has its own side effects that are manageable by themselves but make it really uncomfortable when they stack. I remember being itchy, thirsty, and kept swapping from being too hot and too cold. I had energy but was couch locked. I wanted to talk to my brother and room mates but when I tried to communicate, new thoughts just kept coming in and I’d forget what I was trying to say halfway through a thought. It was very frustrating.
I've done acid and mushies at the same time and totally loved it. The way they played off each other and created varying peaks of intensities of each was quite the experience. Absolute rollercoaster and exhausting for sure but for me it worked out great. I wasn't really trying to communicate with anyone though and yeah if at any point I had a goal for something it was more or less impossible. Just gotta float down those rapids and see where you end up not much point trying to swim anywhere specific
interesting
4-aco-dmt?
Yep! Wanted to prevent having people think it’s related to DMT since they’re completely different but that’s the one
That one was sadly still on my bucket list prior to having left the scene; I may never experience it now. Though, I had quite the experience with 5-meo-mipt. Inspired by Alexander Shulgin, I chose administration via vaporization and inhalation. It’s probably the most intense psychedelic trip I have ever had by far… and my buddy and I used to take 10g of golden caps at the beach all the time. A little bit of that stuff goes a long way.
Interesting too, the chemical transitions from a translucent white to a deep profound red after vaporizing it. Quite the effect.
2c-p was different from lsd because I felt more "sober" (despite all the visual stuff and running thoughts, I was more aware where I am, I had no "gravity issues", etc), and also saw the geometric stuff, like hexagonal ripples on water and fractal clouds. So if you mixed with 2c-something, this could be just that.
I'm imagining an Inception-like scenario where you start at the first/lightest level, and then work your way down to the lowest/hardest, then slowly come back up, similar to peaking and the comedown, but with more stages. I'd imagine dosage would be a real issue here.
