To anyone considering tripping here's what you need to know: please be aware that the mental and emotional effects were not well described in this video. Yes, the perceptual and cognitive effects are well documented but those are only a tiny fraction of the experience relative to the flood of emotions. With most substances (including classic LSD, Mushrooms, and DMT) most people will get a hightened anxiety, nervousness, and general physical discomfort at the start (come-up) which is often unexpected and can be very difficult (usually impossible!) to control in the traditional sense. The video presents the first few levels as "controllable if you focus" which is true of the perceptual side effects but it is false of the emotional side effects. Learning how to LET GO and let the experience take you where it will is essential but it's MUCH easier said than done. Yes, bad trips lead to the most learning and growth but can also have a traumatic component that hightens anxiety for months after the trip. Use extreme caution. If you don't respect these substances, you will get hurt sooner or later. Good trips are most common, just immense fun and beauty. Bad trips are good because you learn about yourself from them even if, in the moment, you had a tough time emotionally. Terror trips leave you with life-long PTSD. First time? Start with a low to average dose, see how you react for 2-3 hrs. Stay safe and good luck. Let. Go.

[@dennismetzger9287]

I always have to vomit during the come up so I fight that alongside the nervousness lol

[@brad4058]

I did 3.5g gold caps for my first time. Tried to play Super Smash Bros with my friends who were also trippin out on 3.5g of shrooms. Everyone kept falling off the stage cuz we decided to pick the most colorful stage you can fight on. The warping visuals and the constant rush of random thoughts makes it extremely difficult to concentrate on anything. My mind was blown from all the colors just flying out of the TV at me.

Here's a friggin psychedelic story--Level 8? Though I'm older (60), I smoke weed for back pain and have for a long time. About 14 years ago, I had moved to Texas and nowhere to get any...so got some legal "salvia" from a local head shop who said it was " like a weaker form of weed." Anyone who really knows (and I didn't) could tell you it's like mega-DMT. I had no idea, and that night ripped a single hit from a bong, laid down and hoped to get a bit tired or mellow. The next thing I knew, I was in front of some kind of "being," like a librarian, saying,"The story of (my name) is over" and had me hand him a tape/cd of my life recorded. Next, I was nack in my bedroom with 3 beings by the side door (I don't remember what they looked like), two were at computers punching in 0's/1/s...(I remember thinking "they are using binary," and third scowled at me "you are nothing but a hologram and we control you." Then, he started making the walls disappear, like panels on the holodeck on Star Trek...I was paniced and begged him to stop, not to do it to my dog who was on the opposite side floor (so they did, lol) along with everything else until nothing was left. They had no empathy, more like hatred-filled, and after they made all disappear, and I was left alone in what seemed to be an eternal, black, silent void. I felt overwhelming dispair; kind of said f-it, and let myself dissolve. Then, it felt that I saw "thrown," felt a thud, and found I landed on the hardwood floor in the sphinx-position...else I would have cracked my skull open. Please Understand: At that time (2008 or so), there was no "holographic simulation" theory around as there is today. I would not have randomly made up being in a "hologram"--as if I ever gave holograms any thought. Ditto with respect to thinking about "binary numbers." I may have seen the Matrix when it came out about 10 years before, but I didn't like it or ever think about it, so could not have been "primed" to make this up from that. The experience was as real as reality feels to me now as I type this. I am not a bullshitter or kook--I have a Ph.D., retired professor, well published and level-headed. I was also familiar with psychodelics having done my share back in my own college days. This was nothing like, well anything I ever experienced before or since. This incident shook me up so much, that after, I spent years and a lot of money traveling with my wife (who went for the fun of adventure/traveling...I never told her this story to this day, lol) all over the world for answers. Egypt, Cambodia, Vietnam, Turkey, Malta, France, India, Peru, Bolivia, Belieze, Guatamala, etc. etc. all in search of answers/hints from both spiritual folks in some of those places, and perhaps glimpses of reality to explain wtf happened that one bad salvia day (and then, a real weird thing that happened to us in Peru that borders on the impossible too). The eternal black void haunts the shit outta me. Sorry--this was long. I haven't vented on this for a while. I can't vouch or not for what I experienced...but I think you can tell it was more than nothing. I since, have had many reality "glitches" paranormal stuff and amazing synchronicities in my life. All I can and have absolutely concluded is reality is not what we think it is, and anyone claiming to have a clue is actually clueless. I sure the F hope it doesn't simply boil down to a hologram--that's for sure.

[@Nicolettelocklear]

I’ve heard so many bad things about Salvia. Salvia is the ONLY hallucinogen that I’ve done. It was in 2006 and I had an absolutely incredible experience. I mixed it with cannabis to create a cushion. I also did it with my husband in our home, alone in a sacred ceremonial type setting. I truly believe Salvia is the most strict of plants and demands respect. I studied it for months before making my purchase and I spoke to it and thanked it before and after. I too saw the hologram it told me that my husband and I created the world we live in together. I saw that we have been traveling together in different forms and relationships to one another since the beginning of time (even that we were a form of “Adam and Eve” so to speak). I had a psychic premonition of a small event in my life that I didn’t realize was that until it happened about 3 months later. I saw code all around me, binary code I guess it was very similar to the matrix. I don’t really smoke weed ever but in this period of my life for about a year I was experimenting with things. This day was the day I learned this world was not AT ALL what it seems and like the OP my studying began. One hit of Salvia Div changed my ENTIRE view on the world. It was gentle with me and kind. I remember thinking the whole time “I’m not afraid, wow I’m not afraid” because I’m legit scared of everything 😂😅 I think set, setting, intention and REVERENCE most importantly are crucial when doing salvia. IMO. 🙏🏽🤍

[@PerspectivEs]

The first time I ever did Psilocybin was one I'll never forget. My legs felt so light, and I had the overwhelming urge to just start walking. I walked about 6km to the other end of my town, and then back again for a total of 12. It was like the power stopped at my midsection; my legs felt light as air. Colors were so much more vibrant and I just had this overwhelming appreciation for the structure of the universe. I thought repeatedly how much nature and the cosmos should be appreciated more, how the design of the world around me was just so incredible and I had to acknowledge it.

Each step I took was a beam of energy that I sent into the universe and came back to me in a different way. I had experienced connection with everything I had become unity !!

[@simondiamond2154]

Did anyone else start getting flash backs while watching this .. ? I literally felt every species of psychedelic mushroom, along with every micro dose of every hallucinogen I've ever tripped -in my entire life -all the way from the first time I tripped face off 2grams of mushrooms.. one thing I'll add ... At least in my own personal experience, along with many fascinating conversations I've had with other "experienced" trippers.. the more you trip, the better you get. By 5hat I mean, the better you get at at tripping, and being able to handle those memorizing-face -melting experiences; such like, when one finds themselves on the tipping point of reality, going in and out forgetting who they are or why your there, not a clue of where your at, or what you even are... in any form at all. Trip more often, and you learn certain techniques that can help deter an all out "freak-out". Granted, that's if your dose wasn't too-toooo high. Better to trip with a light/medium experience.. that's when you learn to do the "magic" in those mushrooms, as you begin to experience the world through the eyes of the "shaman"... Most people won't believe it until they trip themselves, but every trip we take, we alter our lives permanently. Depending on how we developed as a tripper, this shall either welcome it's-self as an enduring positive transformation, that forces us to break free from our material delusions, or it will be a highly detrimental experience and will undoubtedly drive a person to the brink of insanity. this is why it's better to learn to trip when you can manage the trip itself, and actually remember the experience! When this is done, you can actually begin to use the psychedelic experience of tripping to 'open doors & open windows' into literally alternate dimensions that your consciousness wakes up into, when you no longer are tripping. Or ofcourse shuts down and sinks/slips further into a world which you have no control over. The question is however, did we ever really have any control over our lives or did we just perceive it that way? I personally have proven to myself through my experiences that that depending on my actions and my thoughts and my deeds that I perform while tripping, it literally controls the alternate universe I live in today, which personally, I prefer to any alternative I could have woken up to if I never experienced the magic of shape shifting realities. That said, Great Video.. well said and stated with the many basic initial introductions into the layers of tripping , love those memorizing visuals as well, pretty accurate I felt too, at least from how I remember all my trips. So remember friends, neighbors, and strangers, trip clean, trip easy, and don't be surprised if everything about your life changes after you took that first trip, and instead take that trip by horns of the bull, and wrestle that mean, intimidating creature, into a form of personal enlightenment and complete positive transformation. Do the drugs, don't let the drugs do you!

Your description of a heavy experience really helped put into context my last acid trip....25 years ago, it scared me off psychedelics possibly for life! I was tripping so hard, and was seeing the most insane, complex, and mind blowing geometric puzzles spiraling, changing, the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life! So yeah, I was having a fabulous trip, so I thought it was a great idea when my friend suggested taking more! So I took 5 more hits and within a very short time I became completely overwhelmed and terrified of everything! I saw my friend with about 8 heads, all stacked up and then the world exploded into static. I remember saying "I took too much acid" but in this weird slow man's voice and stumbled into my bedroom and collapsed onto the floor. The terror and panic I felt is indescribable, the worst fear possible. And yes, I met an entity, THE ENTITY. It was the motherboard that runs the universe. That's all I can say. I saw the man behind the curtain on that trip, and it left me with the feeling that I was NOT supposed to see what I saw. I think I've seen all I need to when it comes to psychedelics, but I'm still fascinated with them, their power is truly awesome .

[@persianskeptic4814]

A couple of points I want to add: - The intensity of emotions. Psychedelic experiences on every level can be really intensely emotional depending on your mindset and what you're going through in life. I know this video is talking more about general effects and emotions are more personal, But you should know these experiences differ person to person and you might experience some difficult emotions. - Personally for me synesthesia happens even on lower levels. - Spiritual and mystical internal experiences that can be quite transformative might happen on lower doses as well, you don't need to get to level 6-7 to experience that sort of thing. Psychedelic experiences just feel mystical because of how they change your perception of reality, If you truly embrace the experience and look inwards, it'll 100% be spiritual even if you're only taking 1.5g of mushrooms.

[@Ghoopty]

1) I love your user name - great fucking album & band!! 2) I agree - Emotional intensity is the reason I haven’t done psychedelics in a long time. I get put thru the emotional wringer on a trip, and it’s enough already 😅

[@bycha87]

This is extremely accurate description of the process. Huge congratulations to the creator.

[@TemporalAberration]

I think I got to level 6 once on acid, but it may have just been high level 5. I would certainly appear unconcious to others, but I was not, I was completely unaware of my real enviornment or my body though. I remember floating out of my body, looking at it thinking "if i'm here what happens to it", which quickly stopped mattering as ego dissolved completely. Flew through some trippy space (amnesia starts kicking in here), until I arrive in an infinite expanse of swirling conciousness and energy, in awe at first but then merging with it. In that state everything just made sense, and felt more real than anything I have ever experienced.. Spent probably 2 hours in that part, followed by return to the lesser ego death state, and a period of trying to piece my mind back together, convinced if I did not I would never come back. When I did finally come down I was so excited to share the experience with my friends, only to find I could not, still not done processing it myself, unable to communicate the experience in a way that made sense, and also having some trouble speaking in general. For many months I was not entirely convinced I was not still in the trip, but not to a level where it caused problems. It was one of the most profound experiences of my life, but it also made me terrified to touch psychadelics again for a long while.

[@MrHopran]

So about a month ago I took my first LSD trip. It was in a small hut near a forest with 2 of my friends, so 3 people, but only 2 of us (luckily) took the acid. Me being me, I wanted to have the full psychedelic experience, so I took one tab which was supposedly 200μg. For about an hour nothing much really happened. I was a little giggly, but that may have been just from the excitement. In the next 30 minutes, some visual distortions started appearing. Dinosaurs in the trees, Auschwitz children on the ceiling, Lenin on the right side of my friend's face. Anything with a slightly more complex texture like leaves, bark, stone walls, etc. my brain would just expand recursively into more and more complex patterns. The effects were especially pronounced outside where it was dark since it was kinda late at night so we tried to spend as much time as possible there to explore our newly attained senses and not get cold while doing so. My friends also took this opportunity to smoke some weed. They were also drinking beer throughout the night. Usually, at these kinds of events, I drink and smoke as well, but since it was my first time on acid, I wanted to have as vanilla of an experience as possible, so I restrained myself. Looking back, maybe I should have drank as well since alcohol and weed apparently weaken the effects. At this stage it was really fun, everything felt new and exciting and me and my friend felt like explorers of a brand-new world. That feeling lasted for about 15 minutes after which the weird stuff began. We were just sitting down at a table discussing the effects, trying to explain what it feels like to our "sober" friend. It was late at night, I felt a little drowsy and the visuals were starting to get a little overwhelming, so I put my head down into my crossed arms to lay down and relax for a while, but the moment I did that, I lost all control over my body and my mind just went nuts. Fractals of infinite complexity, everything just spinning around. I thought: "This is it. This is the trip. I'm just gonna enjoy myself for the next 8 hours". Every sound, colour and thought, they all were just a part of this abstract painting that me and my friends were painting together. It felt like we were bouncing thoughts and ideas back and forth between each other all equally contributing to the final image of the evening. At some point, I lost track of which thought is mine and which isn't and I just went with the flow. I still felt very excited, so I just enjoyed the ride for the next 10 minutes trying to figure out the rules of the new world we were in. Well, I say 10 minutes, but honestly from here on out time stopped making sense so any time information I give can be wildly inaccurate. Thinking that I have figured it all out, I started laughing out loud uncontrollably. To my sober friend it looked like I was laughing at his joke which apparently wasn't that funny to the degree I was laughing, so he knew something was up, but honestly, I wasn't a part of that conversation for the last 10 minutes and I don't remember anything he said. Anyway, he tries to check up on me if I'm all right. I'm trying to answer back because I can somewhat hear him but it feels like I'm 5 layers under reality and to get anything out is a challenge. Any coherent sentence that I try to formulate comes out just as random sounds and squeaks. My friend now knows that I'm not good and so he grabs me and turns on the lights. Mind you, until this point, we tried to make the inside of the room as dim as possible so that we enhance the effects. So he turns the lights on and BAM ... I'm awake, back in the real world ... for about 5 seconds after which I dropped back again into my daydreaming group session. Anyway, the way my friend tried to wake me up made me think that an ambulance was called and I got a panic attack thinking that I ruined the night. After all, it was my first time, so it could have been too big of a dose for me. I really didn't know what was going on with my body. By now, I could be somewhere completely else on stretchers carried by paramedics for all I knew. To make it all worse I knew 8 more tabs were lying on a table and my friend was talking the whole night about taking another one as he didn't feel the effects for the first hour thinking that we took only a quarter of a tab, not a whole. So I thought we took the rest as well. This made my anxiety spike even more. Given this moment I'd like to also thank my sober friend who didn't take acid with us giving me one small sense of hope. So by now I pretty much wasn't sure of what is real and what isn't. I saw recurring images of all the possible night iterations where I either am carried away by paramedics or I'm still just lying down on a mattress next to a fireplace or we are still outside exploring all at the same time. It felt like I got one deja vu every second. It also felt like only by thought I can control the outcome of the night. Any thought that I had felt as real as if it was really happening at that moment so I tried to think as positively as possible. My friend tried to wake me up to give me some water. I'm back again in the real world for another 5 seconds of rest time. This time I'm just scared shitless hoping for it to end ... it didn't. Any attempt to wake me up from here on out would just reassure me into thinking that the paramedic storyline is real. At this point, I started to feel like time is going backwards. My thoughts were going forward, but key moments from the night started appearing again and again, and thoughts that I had before at some given moment, which didn't make sense at the time, now suddenly started making sense only in the context of the future. So yeah ... for the next six hours I was just really miserable hoping for everything to end and that what I was thinking isn't real. When I finally came back after these 6 hours, at first, I wasn't sure if I was really back or if this wasn't just another hallucination. My first memory after waking up is of my friend talking to me, but I wasn't really paying attention since he could have been just a product of my imagination so no meaning in answering. After about 5 minutes I realized, that yes, this really is the real world. I wasn't even happy or anything that I'm back. I was just so drained of any will to live after trying for hours to communicate and not being able to. Well, that concludes the story of my very first and as of now only psychedelic trip. I don't know if I want to try this ever again, maybe sometime, but definitely with a smaller dose. I'm not sure where would my experience rank in the context of this video, but I'd say at least a 4. Definitely a strong thought provoking experience. I'm still thinking about it quite often. For anyone still reading, thank you for your time, sorry for my rant and any mistakes that I've made (I'm not native). I just wanted to write down somewhere my experience. I hope your trips go better than mine. Trip safe. PS: Visuals in this video are VERY accurate. Probably the best I've seen on yt.

We live in different countries so we had lots of time to discuss beforehand. Going to visit him again in a week.)

When I stopped smoking weed and tobacco in January this year I was often experiencing level 1 without taking any psychedelics. I also experienced lucid dreams which I haven't had for many years, and even astral travel on a couple of occasions during sleep. A few months later I had the urge to start smoking again, only tobacco, and all that stopped. This tells me even tobacco can diminish the memories of dreams similar to weed and have an effect on Seratonin and Melatonin. I'm determined to stop again even though it's proving harder than before, I want back what I had for the first 3 or 4 months of this year. It was a strangely magical time.

I went from smoking weed daily to cutting it down to once or twice a week, and I have had much much more vivid dreams, and less groggyness in the morning, ive also noticed how much more fun it is to be high on the days I get to smoke. Weed is great but overusing it (just like anything) really kills its greatness for me.

[@TheKvltSith]

Me and buddy went fishing and split 🍄 about 4gs each. My experience was between level 3-4 Moderate and Heavy. Smoking 🌿 definitely made it a lot more intense. My buddy helped me out of a negative headspace in my trip which wasn't by any means a bad trip. I was in a bad situation in life so he let me vent to him and he gave me his advice. There's definitely something special about talking with someone when you're both tripping. It's no wonder why governments keep them illegal. Hell, I've never really had a "bad trip." Challenging ones for sure but still overall a beautiful experience.🍄 tend to go in waves for me especially the mental part of the trip. Makes you think about everything in life. No regrets doing 🍄. Never tried acid though. I have no idea how different it is to 🍄.

[@b.entranceperium]

Weed always causes more anxiety, paranoia and clouds up my psychedelic trips. The difference between acid and shrooms is probably subjective but for me acid is more "electric" and you as the tripper guide the ride while mushrooms seem to be more 'wavy' and 'earthy' and they tell you where the trip is going to go. Its so hard to put in words, but there definitely are nuances imo.

[@adabofeverything7120]

Well.. if this says enough. I did acid at least 12 different times before my first shroom trip, and my mind was so dead set on what a general "trip" was supposed to look like, shrooms forever weird me the fuck out. They are too different of a ride, and my mind can never take them. Haha

[@user-vp9xn3wb7v]

Acid was very similar in my experience.

[@michaelhoste_]

@@b.entranceperium Electric vs earthy/wavy is pretty accurate. But I also think that acid is a bit more of a wild card - there are many different acid experiences that kind of get structured out of the situation. Frequently, the metaphorical effects predominate over tbe visual so that you are effectively having a completely mental experience (that sounded funny). I treat acid with a lot of respect. Be mindful of where you want to be - in a safe, flexible, escapable space with the right people, or with no one if preferred. It's so difficult to pin this stuff down. This is why people feel so compelled to talk about it. I meant to write two sentences and I still can't shut up!

[@smmusicplus96]

Acid seems to linger in the psyche with prolonged use. Shrooms are more contained to the experience. Does that make sense?

[@davidsams6823]

Thanks! Let me repeat, Thank you! Awestruck. Grateful to support you bringing light to the world!

[@VipurHD]

I never done shrooms, but I’ve been practicing meditation and looking into all old eastern philosophy and way of life like Buddhism, Taoism, zen, ect... heavily for years, getting deeper and trying to understand what this life is. So I have had some of these experiences in the video in my head in deep meditation. From seeing hallucinations, some geometric shapes(not as intense as the high level shroom dose but can get very interesting), talking to entities or spirits and being able to feel there presence, astral projection, knowing everything is one. my experience u eventually feel the wobble of your soul when your thoughts calm down and less come in, and if u keep calm u end up forgetting U have a body or realizing the imagine u are looking at has been in your head the whole time, making me realizing everything comes from within and we control it, answers come to u too in the same way it was described in the video. If u practice and can astral project u feel a tug from the body and by this time your thoughts are way less not many thoughts if any, they almost more come to u more as like a lesson or something u are supposed to see for growth, but u aren't attached to the thought in the same way u normally are u realize its a thought and u can choose not to connect with that thought and u are more viewing the thought more than identifying with it.. besides that it’s just peaceful bliss and i mean beyond comprehension peaceful bliss, u see "the light" they talk ab after dying everything gets bright like the sun is in your eyes out of no where, even tho your eyes are closed and probably in your room. at this point u understand everything is one and there's no describing it, u understand there's an afterlife bc u are literally out of your body, u felt the tug out.. at certain points before this u see a blue ball, that can move or create shapes, even hallucinations ive seen soooo many. and that’s said to be your higher self, soul, spirit something like that and it can communicate through subconscious imagery like scenarios. Basically u are now tapped in to the subconscious and if u know how to communicate with entities u can and they will communicate through the imagery like i said and from my experience u use emotion and imagery to communicate back., theres def some negative energies out there but if u ignore them and understand love is stronger than them it quickly vanishes into a peaceful state. which is where to start to astral project if u practice. u calmly wait and then since u have much control over your head at this point its able to use the imagery in a dream like viewing that u can feel entities messages.. u even can almost see a face that it creates a image of off energy and the blue ball. I know when u breath a certain way your lungs release natural dmt. Our lives are literal dreams states that we can create and change by emotion and through thought the heart chakra being the most powerful manifesting tool, feeling the love and gratitude for what u have already. When u want something that indicates subconsciously u don’t have it, since this is a dream like state and responds off how u feel not what U think, so u gotta be thankful for having what u have or what u want and almost pretend u have it already ,know it’s yours just based off thought, the universe brings it to u. Anyone should look up Neville Goddard, Alan watts, Terrence McKenna a couple very interesting people. And if your interested in different levels of meditation look up the 7 stages of Jhana. i found it interesting the similarities ive had with this video but i understand why. i do believe more in them being beings of light tbh tho.

[@Ilovesunlight]

When I accidentally took between 9-15 hits of acid I definitely made it to what she describes as level 6. I can’t remember a lot of the trip, I only really remember coming up and then coming down, but the effects were immediate after taking. 20 minutes after eating the sugar cubes, my entire body was vibrating and I could not hear my friend yelling my name right next to me until his maybe fifth try. The rest of what I remember is mildly stereotypical of a hero dose, autonomous entities and all the rest but what really keeps me up is having gone unconscious with my eyes open (or so my friends tell me) while peaking. There is roughly 4 hours of my trip that I cannot account for, having apparently just sat on a couch staring at a wall with my eyes wide open. I don’t really remember drifting off but I do remember the intensity increasing to the point of knowing all I could do was sit down and ride it out. I really wonder where I went during my peak but something tells me I’m not supposed to know considering how difficult it was to come back to reality after that one. I basically had to relearn how to be a human entirely and I still have my struggles regarding. I was 16 at the time and am 23 now, too much acid for probably anyone, let alone a 16 year old. Thanks for reading!!! Love to you

[@ErikPelyukhno]

Wow that sounds traumatic! I’m glad that you’re still with us. Just because there aren’t really any deaths on mushrooms or acid doesn’t mean there’s no risk of hurt from overdosing.

[@Ilovesunlight]

@@ErikPelyukhno I appreciate that and agree, some people never really come back from trips like that and I’ve often felt like one of them. Since then I’ve had my troubles with anxiety and have worked through it to a reasonable extent but it’s definitely shaped my philosophies and ideals for the better I do believe. I remain indifferent to the specifics of the supernatural but since that trip I have even had my share of what I personally deem to be mystical experiences, often wondering if that trip pushed me into that world. While psychedelics can change your life for better or worse, I do often believe they are not for everyone, especially in massive doses. Like your point, they may not kill you, but they may factory reset your ego whether you want it or not 😂. Thanks for the kind comment!!!

Impressive , and you know your stuff young lady. I am 69 years of age now and hav logged in many mind excursions. I still have one kind of experience on LSD that never occurred again. I was 19 at the time, and was camping with two buddies . We each took a full dose of blotter acid which supposedly came from Tim Leary's lab. The dot on the paper was the size of a quarter. One hour later I felt myself being led away from my friends whom I wouldn't see until the next day. I felt as if something powerful was coming and I was helpless. Tne next thing I know , I was standing on a rock in the middle of the woods arched backwards with my spine in a back- curved position. I was missing my jacket, belt and one shoe and 17 hours had passed. After recalling enough pieces of the experience through the next several months, I realized that I had fallen into a trance state of consciousness. What I recalled was a metaphorical story of my life and beyond. I could write a book just based on that one experience. . . . so there may be yet another level of experience . . . . the psychedelic Trance level.

[@asdf9890]

Pretty great analysis and ranking, and I got to say, the visuals were pretty convincing that I was tripping. As a 46 year old, experienced with acid and shrooms since the early 90's, level 2 is at most what you'd want to do as a beginner. Level 3 is done solo only with experience and a positive, controllable setting. Level 4 and above only with a sitter or at least multiple friends with you on a trip. Trust me, I ended up putting myself in the ER only on a level 3 after years of abstinence and thinking I could handle it on my own in an uncontrolled setting (nature hike, bad trip, poisonous bugs attacked me!). I do agree with your comment at the end of the 6th stage, it's just not worth it. Although I do think I experienced "ego death" somewhere between level 4 and 5 once when I was younger. It profoundly changed my outlook on life and the way I carry myself, sometimes not for the better. I became more existentially nihilistic, withdrawn, and very low self esteem (I basically saw humans as no matter how much you achieve, you're always insignificant, weak, and not even a speck of meaning to the greater power of whatever it is) . Experiencing these things don't always improve you....I didn't expect to keep adding to this lol, I'll stop.

[@AJ-tg9vo]

I have had a nihilistic period as well and I would seriously recommend checking out optimistic nihilism.

Please, not ‘guide’, or ‘therapist’. The essential point is the intrinsic wisdom … just keep them safe and resist the temptation to ‘subtly suggest stuff’. There are more than enough charismatic, narcissistic ‘gurus’ and ‘life coaches’ out there … BTW, it was also a little bit mind-blowing seeing some of my favourite psychedelic locales from the last fifty years. Mt Macedon (even the amenities block at the bottom of the hill …), the Botanic Gardens. I actually found some lovely shrooms there, before they dug that section up and re-landscaped it.

One thing you didn't mention, that becomes more noticeable as you age, is the enhancement and distortion of memory. This effect can be tremendous even at low or micro doses.

I didn't even realise that I was tripping. I was just so mesmerized by everything I saw. Crystal like forms that I'm not capable of explaining in words.

I’ve quit smoking cigarettes, lost almost 40 pounds of pure body fat, diet & exercise, meditate, and just generally became a better person. They also helped me with illicit drug use. I am , unfortunately, in a Suboxone clinic and ever since I started tripping again awhile back, I’ve been trying to slowly get myself out of there. I’m down to 1/4 my original starting dose, and I am doing great, but DAMN IS IT HARD! Lol

This is by far the best / most informative video to show anyone who may have a prejudice opinion of what psychotropic use is really about. Very good job on making the video. In my years of use with psychotropics , this video is amazingly accurate visually and very informative

[@NewStarConstellation]

This channel is one of those rare gems you sometimes come across surfing KZbin. Thank you for your efforts. Subscribed. Oh, and please make that video about Microdosing. I read about this concept a while ago, and although I never have taken psychedelics it is a very interesting topic.

[@DigitalBard1]

Much much research has been done for decades, but it's getting very popular now. Psyilcybin can be used to treat PTSD, drug and alcohol addiction, to cure depression and anxiety, grief, and a whole manner of different mental afflictions. Many states in the U.S are pushing to decriminalize. It's an uphill task, but it's getting there slowly. Mushrooms really are a cure all miracle substance. They helped cure my depression in ways that are indescribable. Many countries in Europe are also pushing to decriminalize, and are using psychedelics in similar research. I think the issue the government's have, is how to make money off it. Of course it's always about money, and never about helping people. The world is changing though. There is a huge psychedelic revolution happening. When you look into history and ancient traditions like shamanism, then plant medicines were a huge part of thier culture. And to be honest, I feel that is what is lacking in modern society, we lost touch with our natural healers and teachers, and then the world went to shit. It will come back, it's inevitable.

[@Rain-hn2yf]

New sub and new to psychedelics. 2months in and its been fantastic, from micro dosing to deep states as far as level 5 in this video. Stumbled onto your channel after searching for information on psychedelic entities. However back to this video I feel you hit the nail on the head explaining every level. I can't speak for level 6 though, I can't explain the amazing feeling I get at level 5. Great video look forward to browsing more on your channel.

[@RennyBQUEEN]

This is by far the first time I’ve seen a scale or video effects that actually mirror a lot of what being on psychedelics is visually like. This is very well thought out my friend.

[@YourBoySB]

One thing that would’ve been a nice addition would’ve been the visual representation of people under these different states. Being in nature and in a friendly, familiar setting is key to staying on the good side of an intense trip, but I think it’s important to discuss and be aware of potential downsides as well. Seeing what happens to people was one of the craziest visuals I’ve ever had and ultimately kept me from continuing to use psychedelics. I believe I reached the “strong level” but was not in an ideal setting and unfortunately it ruined tripping for me. I had probably 100+ awesome experiences and one bad one turned all future experiences into negative ones. I believed I had seen a demon or devil of some kind at the time, although now I feel like I may have just seen the outlines and edges and shapes being extended and intensified to a degree that completely changed the appearance of people into ghastly grotesque humanoid figures. Ugh. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

[@MInquisition]

Nothing else has *visually* compared to what I'd experienced before seeing the graphics in this video, great stuff - some of the better looking ones are the ones that don't have visual depth to them, can't say I've ever experienced anything like 9:52 before. There's something immersion-breaking about being able to pick out how far something is away from you when you focus on it. But the blink transition like at 10:10 is SO good, I'd find myself trying to re-blink again to reset what I was seeing sometimes bc I'd figured I'd just blinked wrong or something. But some personal context that this vid reminds me of - DO NOT underestimate all the effects that weren't shown visually or auditorily, that were read out or shown listed on screen. At 9:15 they mention your thoughts seeming more significant - oftentimes your thoughts will come to you more as if they're some reality-breaking realization, like a cascade of repeating "aha!" moments from playing a puzzle game. Even the most nonsensical ideas become *very* believable when you combine some of the listed effects like delusion, emotional intensification and enhanced spirituality. If you're fighting the trip, you'll get driven down the trip even harder because of your pattern-seeking brain trying to make sense of it all. Multiple effects will feed off each other to create that feeling of physically or spiritually being somewhere else. A lot of the visuals in the video at face value just seem cool-looking and trippy. But when you're in the headspace of the trip, you ascribe meaning to them and they stop being shapes, and start being stand-ins for some greater *thing* you're thinking of. Your sight will bleed over into the things you feel physically, and you'll get placebo'd seeing a ball you hold wrap itself around your hands, and you'll feel the ball grabbing back at you. When you see faces, you'll pair them up with the hands and deduce that there must be people all around you. If there's people all around you, you must be being watched - and if you're being watched, maybe you're also being recorded. Maybe you get some sense of de'ja vou - like maybe you've seen yourself in this moment before. From the recording that's being taken? - Which would mean all of this has already happened, as you're currently living it. Which means you're living in the past? Or the people you saw before are living in the future? Which means that time must be flat if you saw them earlier at the same time as you've been existing, which means maybe life is only viewed *subjectively* in a linear way, but really all exists at the same time. If time is flat, surely you'd be able to hear every sound you'll ever hear if you just listen close enough - and sure enough it comes, voices of all the people you've ever known or people you haven't met yet. Sounds you hear repeat and layer over eachother like a recording that records itself, but doesn't seem to come from anywhere at all. And when you see the spinning, multi-colored tesseracts like at 1:17 and, possibly, these could be the source of the sound - all of the time-flat lives that surround you that you could never see before when time was linear. But if you can see them now, where does that mean you're at now? A place where physics don't make sense anymore, and time is flat and infinite, but you can pretty solidly say you're not dreaming, yet you're outside of your own life able to experience it if you only focus hard enough. If your trip leads you to believing that you must be dead, and you weren't ready to die yet, good luck - don't dig too deep into your thoughts, don't try to make too much sense of it, and take everything as it comes at face value.

@TRIPCLAN

[@Enders.paradise888]

I think the highest level I’ve been at is between strong and heavy, it was when I lemon tekked 8 grams. Mushrooms are by far the most mind boggling thing on this planet. Especially when you go in deep, nobody can convince me mushrooms aren’t some sort of interdimensional aliens. Also the visuals used in this video are INCREDIBLY ACCURATE!😮

[@asdf9890]

What's "lemon tekked"? Sorry, just a curious Gen X'er who's never heard of that before. And yes, I've tripped harder on shrooms than any acid trip. And I did a lot of acid in the early 90's. Edit: never mind, I just looked it up. Wish I knew about this! Seems a better way just because you don't have to chew up dried up shroom jerky!

[@liamstanley5599]

Dude I agree for some reason the only side effect I got from 7g was slight itchiness and I listened to the very best of Jimi Hendrix while tripping balls. Pretty sure that’s as close to communing with God as it gets

Also the colors that I saw while in the pitch black of my room were amazing. But then I went downstairs and saw all the mini lights within my living room electronics and felt like I was in my own pocket universe!!

Thank you for speaking and bringing information instead of just making a "psychedelic video", I had avoided to watch this clip because of the overload on the internet of videos that proclaim to replicate the psychedelic experience, all of them focused exclusively on the "visuals aspects".

[@mr.beatspt.2969]

Those visuals remind me of the hypnagogic hallucinations I used to have while trying to fall asleep. They were often times intense and somewhat disturbing but I battled through them and did some research which helped me a lot in understanding what I was going through at the time. Great video and the music was spot on! 🤯😎

[@beekerbod4072]

Amazing visuals. I’ve never taken psychedelics, so it helps to get an idea what it’s like.😮😊

[@youqqwheniq8502]

The visuals in the video are quite well-made but it really doesn't matter how good you animate it. Psychedelic visuals is something that's unexplainable and it cannot be recreated. For example i might look at a video or picture and say "Damn thats trippy" but i've never seen a video or picture that even got close to what its really like. Sadly it's something that you've got to see yourself. I always tend to say that explaining psychedelic visuals to someone that never took psychedelics is like trying to explain to a blind person what a color looks like.

[@get_ready_1]

Level 4 is like LSD and 5 and above would be like DMT

[@magne7771]

I don't know what to expect going IN to this video, so I'll just, say this much- I was an _angry_ boy. For a LONG time. That turned into my _default._ When I first started trying _weed?_ It felt like my brain itself was being _restructured._ It was like THAT SCENE from Death Note, in The Helicopter. The sensation was like... I was flying. FAST. So fast I gripped my seat. When I closed my eyes, I saw space itself. I saw a vertical line in the middle, a light at the end of the tunnel, as space _curled away from me, into the line._ It was surreal as all hell, and I've never been the same since. It literally changed me. Leveled me out. If I stop smoking pot, for good, I won't be like I was. I'm fascinated with psychedelics. They're wonderful tools of self discovery. I can't even _begin_ to tell you what it would've taken for me to change that drastically, naturally.
