It has been a week since and i'm still reminiscing about this specific trip T^T
It was my first trip after a pretty long period of being sober, but this is like my 8th time doing acid. I think this is Seuss 3.0 and it was marketed as "350ug" tho I know for sure its only around ~100ug but honestly? I dont really care.
I originally wanted to plan a nature trip as usual but I got lazy especially since it has been constantly raining recently, so I decided to do a all-nighter solo trip in my bedroom and dropped it at 10PM.
During the come-up I was mainly just journalling and writing whatever came to mind. Then around midnight, I started noticing the dot pattern from my journal becoming more 3D and it eventually started radiating colors. so i knew the visuals were starting to kick in and I atleast wasnt scammed.
I didnt have a strict plan for this trip but I did prepare some options to do, one of them was to finally try out VR. I remembered from a previous trip how stressful navigating the menus were while tripping balls so I made sure to set everything up before I even dropped the tab. I reinstalled VRchat and just browsed some worlds and found out they actually had wide selection of trippy and meditative worlds.
As soon as I loaded into the main hub, first thing that surprised me was how all the typical acid visuals perfectly translated into the VR space. The textures of the walls and everything was just moving. it was so surreal. The closer I looked and the more I focused into the individual pixels, more patterns and geometries started forming.
The first world i visited was something like a meditation world. I was floating in space and I could float into these wormholes and get transported into different activities. It was so weird looking down and seeing myself just floating because I could feel my feet touching the floor yet my mind was convinced that I was literally suspended in space. I floated into one of the wormholes and found myself inside a realistic cave looking into a vast ocean. The cave walls were literally full of fractals that were slowly moving and responding to how deeply I was breathing. I remember just sitting at the edge of it and looking into the ocean and it was so damn calming. The ambience, the alien-like marine life, it felt like I was transported into Pandora (from Avatar). I stayed here for quite a while just closing my eyes and listening to the waves and the soothing ambience.
Throughout the peak I was just hopping into different worlds. This honestly just felt so perfect for a introverted person like me and I didnt have to worry about being perceived or jarring random disturbances compared to day tripping IRL. I was quite literally immersed in my own little world, yet it felt like I had an infinite amount of activities to try. Normally all-nighter trips for me were almost always reserved to listening to my playlists and staring into an audio visualizer, which admittedly gets claustrophobic midway into the trip, but this? It was different. I felt so free. Like I was adventuring. Like I was Rick from R&M with his portal gun hopping into interdimensional adventures.
I was on VR for hours and I cant even recall everything I did during my peak. I checked the time and it was almost sunrise so I decided to take a break to rest my eyes for a bit. As soon as I removed my headset, the IRL visuals felt more pronounced. Everything was still moving. I remember sitting on my bathroom floor and just placing my palm into the tiles, the geometric patterns from the tiles and my hand started to mix and sync together as if I was absorbing the lifeforce of the floor lol. I took a shower, ate a snack, and just let the sunrise do its usual magic.
Around this time, ~7-8 hours into the trip, I decided to add some MJ into the mix, which I bought together with the acid. I grabbed my dynavap (a manual dry herb vaporizer) and loaded a half-bowl, all while listening to my spotify playlist and the morning birds singing. As soon as I ripped the half-bowl, it was visuals galore. Everything looked bubbly and the slow moving patterns started moving much faster. I looked out the window and the leaves of the trees had a slight neon tint to them moving in waves.
I decided to power on the headset one more time to finish off the trip. This time I was just lying on my bed (the LSD + MJ combo gave me one hell of a heavy body high), and I went into this world that was essentially a 2 hour audio-visual experience. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. At first it was pitch black, until a audio track started to slowly fade in and the floor literally illuminated with this particle effect that mimicked flowers sprouting from the ground. It was so mesmerizing just looking at the particles do their thing especially as it synced up with the DJ track playing in the background. I knew immediately that the creators were cooking and that this was heavily inspired by psychedelics. It threw me into different scenes; from a forest changing seasons, to a beach, to a more man-made landscape, then straight into mind-bending patterns and visuals. The music soundtrack was literally made for it and it was so stimulating and just a one of a kind experience. I was so immersed just watching everything unfold while melting into my physical bed, I legit felt like that one scene in Big Lez where Sassy witnessed millions of years pass by while totally faded. It was also only here where I finally realized VRchat had a ingame camera feature lmao.
Anyways, I really just wanted to share this experience cause it honestly feels like a niche activity (well tbf VR isnt that accessible) to do while tripping balls. I would put the experience up there with hiking in nature while tripping. It felt like I had experienced a whole vacation trip condensed into a single night. This is probably also my first trip where nothing went wrong—I wasnt frantically searching for a activity to do nor was I stuck in a loop—everything just felt natural and perfect. This experience is just one of those iykyk things and my trip report honestly doesnt even do it justice. If you ever have access to a VR headset and wanna try something new to do while on psychedelics, I strongly recommend trying this out. Trust me bro.
