I've never felt the need to write an experience report before, but I feel like my Interactions with these chemicals could be Intriguing, or useful to others.

I am an experienced user of Acid (LSD and other synthetics), as well as MDMA. I've enjoyed my fair share of very Intense trips, and in the occasion that I choose to trip now I like to have some Alprazolam (Xanax) with me so I can 'kill' the trip early. My regular connect for Alpra. was currently dry when he told me that he had some 'tv 1003's' after doing some research on the substance I found out that buspirone is an alternative anxiolytic medication that some people believed may be able to have similar effects of Xanax in reference to 'trip killing'. So I got five 15mg bars that actually resemble Xanax bars pretty closely.

Honestly I don't know what synthetic chemical the 'acid' was that I took, definitely not real LSD though. (Not unpleasurable though). The MDMA I received in light, yellow, clear crystals.

I recently heard about 'candy-flipping' and Immediately became Interested in the notion (after doing extensive research).

12:00pm: I took four drops of the Acid via soaked sweet tarts, as well as 20mg of Dramamine for nausea. (MJ would've been my anti-nausea agent but I'm currently on state-issued diversion).

Knowing that it would take an hour or so before I felt anything, I drove towards a favorite spot of mine 15 minutes away. It's a nice, secluded regional park with wooded walkways through some forested wetlands. Very secluded, very peaceful, and very beautiful. [I don't enjoy psychedelics or MDMA in the context of 'partying' or 'clubbing' being a Mormon-raised (not practicing), Eagle Scout I much prefer to be left on the confines of my mind or in the presence of nature.]

I ended up getting to the location about 45 minutes later, as I was feeling the come-up of the acid. Now lately I've been weaning off most chemicals after having gone on a (well informed, and non-careless)' tripping binge'. Doing it almost every weekend for awhile etc. Anyways, the enlightenment I've received from most psychedelics (psilo, lsd, thc, mdma, dmt) has stuck with me permanently, and most of the time tripping now is just choosing to be physically uncomfortable, awake, and restless for 12+ hours

. Accompanied with the come-up came the expected vasoconstriction, spasms, aches, elevated thought process, and emotional sensitivity. My original plan was to take the MDMA at this point and then ensue exploring. Now not to be misunderstood I'm very confident/strong mentally and emotionally and when I say that I had second thoughts about the trip I was about to encounter it does not Insinuate that I was feeling a 'bad trip' coming up, but that simply 1. I felt particularly healthy today and 2. I realized that four drops mixed with .5g of MDMA was probably going to be more intense than what I felt like experiencing today. So that's when I decided that I'd rather just have a (seemingly) solo MDMA experience as opposed to the 'candy flip'.

1:00: I took one bar (15mg) of buspirone with the intent of calling short the trip. Feeling mildly uncomfortable/lightly nauseous I decided to go on the walk anyways to stretch my legs. It's an enjoyable/beautiful place on or off of drugs.

1:15: I start to feel the buspirone coming into my system. I had fasted and so my stomach was empty of anything else but water, A-Z vitamin pill, and 1000mg of vitamin C via capsule. I became more nauseous as I was walking but not painfully so, unlike how most psychedelics make my stomach physically hurt. This was just a weird lump in the back of my throat that kind of made me gag a little bit. Anyways If I feel the need to throw up on any drug I welcome it, so after vomiting some ascorbic-acid tasting, light orange water I immediately felt better. The mildly anxious thoughts I had disappeared, a lot of the muscle aches disappeared and I 'came back into' my body. To the point where I had sober-senses, touch, etc.

I decided to walk around the wetlands for an hour or so before I decided to try and get something to eat. (I wasn't really hungry but decided it couldn't hurt.)

1:45: I get to the TB parking lot under a shady tree and just choose to relax for a time, I rolled up a blunt of wild dagga tips and started smoking it. I enjoy the mild effects of leonurine and thought that maybe it would restore the finer touches of my body I hadn't quite gotten yet.

2:00: I go inside to order a meal, sit down, take two bites and I'm done. I realize that I definitely didn't want food in me and that I was silly for thinking I could eat.

2:05: I hadn't really noticed before (after regaining my fine senses I assumed that all aspects of the trip had ceased) but I was definitely still tripping. I realized after looking at the textured walls by my table that I was still having some pretty interesting, and beautiful visuals going on in my closed and open eye.

2:10: I did a self-eval of my emotional, mental, and physical state and realized that I still had a lot of the 'soft emotions' associated with psychedelics, but with none of the abstract/hyperventilated/disorientating thoughts I usually experience.

I was stoked honestly lol, my two favorite aspects of tripping are the visuals and the emotional sensitivity. So basically I accidentally happened upon a seemingly great combination that had unexpected results. Just to clarify what I mean by this, I was basically fully-fledged in sobriety, with vivid visuals, and emotional sensitivity. (In my opinion) all negative aspects of the trip had been eliminated and was left with only the positive effects.

2:25: I left for home to relax, maybe play guitar, maybe do some MDMA.

2:45: I get home and I'm still feeling pretty great, so i decide to watch an episode of Seinfeld while I prep the MDMA for ingestion. (Crushing, parachuting)

3:00 I decide to only take a .25 for now and save the rest possibly for later.

3:05: I decide to let the come-up hit me in the shower, as it's always been a favorite meditating spot with or without drugs.

3:40: Mild euphoria tingles into my body, accompanied with more interesting, complex, and colorful open and close-eyed visuals.

4:40: After a very enjoyable period by myself, I got out to get ready for meeting up with my girlfriend at her house. And also at this time parachuted the other .25 of MDMA.

5:05pm: Sparing the details of euphoria, love, and playing guitar at my girlfriend's house I'm choosing to skip this forward to about midnight.

12:00: I feel that most of the MDMA has worn off, I'm still very comfortable, not irritable, left in a state of well-being, but still experiencing some mild visuals. This is when I left for home.

12:30: I still felt pretty awake (assuming from the drugs since my pupils were still very large), and I decided to take another 15mg bar of buspirone, thinking that it would make me more drowsy, and guide me into sleep sooner.

12:35: I retire to my bed, turn off the lights and put in my headphones listening to some Circa Survive. In complete darkness with my eyes open or closed I experienced a very nice assortment of mostly colorless, complex visuals/impressions.

12:55: I detect the 2nd buspirone bar starting to kick in not by my physical state, but because my visuals became much more obviously colorful, expansive, and complex, which came as a real surprise to me. (Hoping for sleep, not something else for my attention to be drawn into)

1:30: After no detection of fatigue, I get up to use the bathroom and to examine my pupils. (Still very large) At this time I started researching buspirone a little more only to find that insomnia, and wakefulness are noted side effects. I go back to lay down, figuring that I'll just enjoy the music and visuals until I, or they fade.

2:00: Still awake, and obviously tripping I'm left in confusion. It had been 13+ hours from the acid, and 6+ hours from the MDMA yet I was still in the trip. I usually am out of each of them by their regular duration. This was when I decided to write this report.

In conclusion: The buspirone was not successful in 'killing the trip'. Instead it just eliminated all of the negative aspects
In conclusion: The buspirone was not successful in 'killing the trip'. Instead it just eliminated all of the negative aspects
(physical discomfort, elevated/disorientating thoughts, vasoconstriction, muscle spasms), which resulted in a very comfortable, and appealing, visually-accompanied, practically sober, trip. After the ingestion of the MDMA I do believe that I experienced a mild interaction between the MDMA and (non-LSD) Acid. Not quite a 'candy-flip' I think, but still incredibly enjoyable. After the 2nd buspirone bar, my visuals re-lit more colorfully and complex and (regretably) did not leave me drowsy or sleepy.

The extension of my trip I attribute to one of three possibilities: A. The MDMA/Acid combo synergized in my system and extended the life, B. The buspirone somehow extended the trip, or C. The combination of the three (on an empty stomach) synergized and extended the trip.

I'm curious to hear of other people's reports with buspirone and psychedelics (I couldn't find much besides disatisfied psych. patients who wanted benzos or diazepram instead) because I had a very enjoyable experience. It was an unexpected, but welcome synergy.
