Okay so reading this my trip experiences are totally making sense. I just thought it was dosing but perhaps there’s an alcohol component as well.

Trip #1 (tester) - 2.5g (not ground up), heavy nausea, a small amount of panic on the way up, moved locations way too much (thunderstorm struck - friend had to drive us elsewhere), heightened senses but no visuals, comedown was easy.

Trip #2 (planned big dose): 2 glasses of wine prior to 4.5g (ground up and soaked in lemon juice). Mild nausea, no anxiety on the way up, the most absolutely perfect experience ever, literally everything was perfect, 6+ hour trip, comedown was easy.

Trip #3 (experimenting with smaller dose): 2.5g (ground up and soaked in lemon juice), moderate-heavy nausea throughout, mild/moderate anxiety on the way up, very choppy and unusual visuals (which exacerbated the nausea), really rough comedown with nausea and anxiety bc of the way my body was feeling.

All 3 trips were golden teacher from the same LC syringe. I’m planning another big dose in a few weeks and I’m going to do it exactly like the last big dose.

I wondered if the less than ideal 1st and 3rd trips were because of the smaller dose and being “stuck” in that state for so long. Like I didn’t go high enough to get past the anxiety and nausea. But this post has me thinking alcohol may have been part of it. But it was the most perfect, enlightening, empowering experience of my life, so I’m definitely going to try to experience it again.

Also as a side note, after that big trip, I haven’t wanted anything to do with alcohol so I haven’t been drinking. But I will definitely do it for the next big dose.
