11PM: 30mg Capsule of AMT taken orally.
1130PM: No effects as of yet, I sit and wait talking to a friend of mine on Skype with a cup of ginger tea to counteract the known side effect of nausea that this drug can cause.
12AM: Still not a great deal of any noticeable effects, however I start to feel slightly more alert and awake. However this may be a simple placebo effect due to my high expectations of the drug.
1AM: Feeling alert and very happy, much like an MDMA feeling but far less profound. No nausea yet whatsoever, starting to feel much more talkative on Skype with my friend, who is fully aware of what I’ve taken and was there to chat for when I started tripping. From what I’ve heard from many friends of mine this is the stage where the nausea becomes an issue, but I think the ginger tea I drunk previously had soothed my stomach so it really wasn’t noticeable.
130AM: The slight but very apparent MDMA come up like buzz is starting to fade slowly. I’m still in my kitchen at this point, and go out to smoke a cigarette to kill some time until the much-anticipated trip started. As a fairly inexperienced recreational drug user, I was starting to feel somewhat disappointed, the kind of ‘oh it’s not working’ attitude. However I persisted and carried on listening to some music (which began to sound amazing) listening to music I hadn’t heard in a while, and I experienced a sense of joy thinking back through the memories associated with these songs.
1:50AM: At this point I was really questioning my body’s reaction to the drug, nothing seemed to happen whatsoever, this may either be due to my high expectations or the fact I just wasn’t giving it a chance. Anyway, I decided to gather my things up from the kitchen table to move upstairs to get comfortable. After stopping to wash my hands and face due to the hot and cold sensations, which were by no means uncomfortable or overwhelming but they were apparent. This is where things really start to get going. I finish up in the bathroom and begin to walk upstairs to my bedroom, as I walked through my bedroom door (in the pitch black) I began to see STRONG visuals, fractal like patterns of all shapes, sizes and colors that would move in all directions. This was the first moment I’d ever experienced something like this, and I immediately placed my belongings down along with a glass of water and just sat on the floor becoming lost in the increasingly potent visuals I was seeing.
2AM: At this point I’d moved into my bed, and I was becoming increasingly amazed at the element of control I experienced. I realised at that point that no matter how much research or trying to conjure up an image of what tripping is like, I realised that it was nothing like I had imagined. I found it very easy to simply ‘snap out’ of any strong visuals if I chose.
I found it very easy to simply ‘snap out’ of any strong visuals if I chose.
230AM: After having somewhat of a mindfuck, I started to really embrace the visuals and I felt like I could control their direction and speed etc. I found it hard to experience these visuals with my bedside lamp turned on, simply because it was too bright and they just weren’t as exciting. Even my laptop light was too bright to comprehend, so, I put my surround headphones on and a playlist I’d previously made and lay back to enjoy the unfolding experience.
3AM: Immense visuals now, I keep seeing a great sense of depth in my ceiling, even though it’s pitch black, it felt as though it was a lot larger than it really was. At this point the fractal waves were completely in harmony with the music that was playing. I strongly suggest ‘Dancehall Places’ by Mint Royale. Before my eyes, the fractals started to morph into all sorts of beautiful and colorful things, I saw Chinese dragons floating all over the place, with a large blue window that shone an intense, but comfortable amount of colour from it; these colours would change every few seconds or so. I felt as though at times I really had to focus on something for it to get more intense, if I moved my eyes too quickly (which was proving difficult at this point) then many interesting things turned into blankness and something else would appear – very hard to explain but it was peaceful bliss.
330AM: At this point, I find myself satisfied with the experience and decide to get up and turn my lava lamp on in my room, this was AMAZING. Now I was slightly agitated at staying in one spot for too long so I found myself sitting in different parts of the room oddly enough. I have many wall posters including one of Bob Marley and Slipknot. I was sitting watching Bob Marley physically moving, his dreads and face would move slowly from side to side, and his face eventually turned into blankness, at which point a lions face is staring at me, with beautiful colours surrounding it. This fascinated me so much; the fact that I had never seen something happen likes this before my eyes. The Slipknot poster elongated and I saw all the different band members waving at me, as the logo came out of the poster and twisted around – mind was blown.
4AM: Due to the late onset I experienced with AMT, the effects were felt in the early hours of the morning (130am) so at this point I was still tripping very hard. I wanted to get up and experience different parts of the house, so I went downstairs again to my living room where a giant mirror sits on our wall. This is when things got very interesting, I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror and before long, every part of my physical being was morphing into different shapes and my facial expressions would show many different emotions. At one point I thought this might be a bad idea, as many of my friends mentioned that it can be fairly intimidating on your first trip, but I found it truly fascinating. As I sat and stared at myself in the mirror, my furry hat starting to pulsate as if the animal it came from was still alive in some way. My Eyes grew wider and then shrunk to the size of peanuts, and then got massive. After laughing at this for a considerable few minutes, I looked outside to see that the whole back garden was shifting and moving like waves in the sea. I have a very large oak tree in my back garden, this appeared to grow almost 3 times in size, and the footprints in the snow would literally fly around the garden and then a sheet of fresh snow appeared, this repeated over and over along with the highly intense but calming visuals.
5AM: Back in my bedroom now, thoroughly enjoying the experience, I begin to feel quite tired, maybe due to taking it all in at once made me feel very sleepy. However, I wanted to see if anything different was to occur, but I ended up gazing through my ceiling to the forever exciting and bright fractals that were surrounding me. I placed my hand out in front of me and one by one my fingers started to disappear, and my curtains and wardrobe (which were fully closed at the time) appeared to open and close very fast in the corner of my eye.
530AM: At this point, the visuals are slightly less intense; I decided that I must try and sleep as I’d had my fun with AMT. However, it was very difficult to close my eyes and try and sleep, mainly due to the visuals being the same whether my eyes were open or closed, it must also be noted that this is the ONLY time I felt nauseous throughout the whole experience, it can be fairly overwhelming when you don’t want it to be. I decided to take 2mg of Etizolam to see if it would help me to drift off to sleep. Which, before long, I was dead asleep and got a considerable amount of sleep (7 hours).
My experience with AMT was fantastic, I never could quite put my finger on a typical ‘psychedelic’ experience until now. It was nothing that I imagined. It was easily controllable, as I’d come to terms with the fact I was tripping, and my positive mindset and environment meant that nothing was too overwhelming.
I’m almost certain the ginger tea is what soothed my stomach, it worked wonders.
18hrs after the experience my heavily dilated pupils began to return to normal size.
Overall, highly pleasant drug.
