Acid : California Sunshine

How it all started : 

I've been trying to convince Nick for another tab for a few weeks now. I don't wanna do it alone. He ain't ready yet though. We have been clean for nearly 6 days, breaking the usual Goli cycle. We planned to go to a kerala restaurant in Bengaluru for dinner as this was the 2nd weekend of he month. On the way I bought 2 Golis'. We dropped one each and went to the restaurant. This shit was amazing, almost like the first few times I dropped Goli. So powerful, inducing so much fun, made us feel like we were good drug buddies. I hinted this almost feel like 1/10th of an acid trip. Fast-track to the next day, we had planned to go to Bannerughatta Zoo and Safari. Woke up early still high and went there. During the safari, I told Nick "Today seems like a good day to abuse some substances, ain't it!!".Nick thought for a sec and said lets see. I was already excited for the next trip.

We called the plug and set up the meet around 3:10 PM. So here we are in the auto going to our PG, with a stop at the plugs place, in Uber. Nick got out and went to take the tabs, while I asked the driver to wait. Although not in the mood, he waited. It would take some more time, Nick called. So we decided to get back seperately, but Bengaluru traffic helped us get back in the same auto eventhough Nick had to run a few hundred meters. We got back to PG, both freshened up, emptied the bowels and got ready for the trip. 

The come-up : 

This was "California Sunshine", Classic. We had once dropped this in half, but it didnt work back then. It would be amazing to know how it actually is, right? Its 4:08 PM, I placed the tab beneath my tongue and waited for the onset, after some time I felt intense energy rushing through me. This might be much more than what Ultra ganesh (UG) did. I'm not sure what to do with all this energy. We went to the park and sat somewhere. Mosquitoes are back in town bitches. I can't sit as I've only worn a trouser and a hoodie. The park is rectangular, people walking all the time in a direction. We kept on changing seats around the park every few minutes. This went on for a few times. The floor had already started spiralling with patterns. The nature was stll same though. Trees and grass were normal.

Why are only the concrete slabs moving? Is this not pure acid? whats with all this energy rushing through me? Maybe Its a "Rave paper", Maybe I should match the speed the brain is processing to a 180 BPM trance, just to sync in. Maybe I should dance around. My mind was out of control. I was thinking nearly 5 things every second. Maybe this was the mental trip Nick used to tell me. But I was not liking it, I was in for the visuals, not this mad state. We got out of the park and decided to head back to the roof top. 

The peak : 

We brought a pack of cigarretes and few chips and got to the terrace. We just reached the entry of terrace and both sat down. This trip was intense, not visually but something other. Maybe its all this hormones rushing through my body. we saw everything was moving. Floor, walls. The water spilled on the roof had klaeidoscopic patterns consistently. I was standing on the edge of the terrace and looked at Nick. The whole world was swirling like an ocean now. The rooftop felt like a ship balancing on ocean, Me and Nick sailors. We ain't in control of the ship though, Its free flowing. I started rubbing of some of the patters on the floor to see if its real. Nah, Its real. We smoked some cigs and got back to our room.

I wanted to see how my favourite laptop, compared to last trip is. As I enetered the room, I noticed there wasn't any visuals there. Depress.. wait My Laptop aint RGB, why is it glowing  and changing colours. Oh the walls have patterns too, but very feable compared to UG, Its not colourful too, just shadow like imprints on a white wall. Black surfaces had coloured patters, while white ones had feeble ones. My body hair was dropping colourful inks from ends. During all this, my mind is running at 5 thoughts a sec or even more.

I wanted to go out, I was reallly cold so took the jacket. We decided to take a walk. We decided to go the way to office a bit instead of our usual recreational paths, The streets were colourful, blinding lights, sparks, everywhwere. Almost like its a fest around here.We reached a restaurant while watching the road swirled itself into animated, patterned mats. The whole shop was moving as it was a jello. We ordered two lime juice, there were patterns on the store walls and floors and even on the glass , It was colourful. The people around me arent seeing this. This is just a normal day for everyone. We got the lime juice in carry cups and got out. Roaming around in public is sus for sure. We're a bit slow, walking without any plans ahead. "Im just Happy", I told Nick. Im just happy that I can witness what acid feels like, many people doesn't know what it is, and I feel bad for them. We slowly drank the lime and walked back to our PG. 

The things in room are slightly floating? The bed is at 30° angle we are lying on it, not knowing it. More like cant process all this right now, My brain feels exhausted with the thought train. I saw my pupils dilated like crazy, almost the same size as iris.

It was time to rave. After all in my head, its a rave paper. I took out my phone and started 180 BPM psytrance mix made by spotify. Snow Crystal started moving my limbs and when Maharani Hi-Tech started I was already dancing to the high speed beat, giving my all into it. In between my mom called, Shit, I've to lock in now. I took the phone, I have no idea what she was talking about, something about my relatives obviously. I couldn't care less. I put it on speaker and made affirming noises for a while. Then I hung up and BOOM, Maharani is back and I danced again for another half an hour. 

My visuals almost died out by this time, just patterns on clothes, floors, walls which would be there after the peak. But my mind was still going like a jet, I almost felt like some higher power was telling me, You're not upto this level and should slow down a bit, slow down the frequency of drug use? I wasnt sure, but it felt like they were telling me to not aim for the peaks as I wouldnt prolly be able to handle it. Physically I was fine though. This trip never had me a bit of paranoia, nor a close call to a BT.

Nick had Prawns pickle with him. Wait, he has badams too. Lets try that. I dropped a few badams on my blanket to see that, they had dense shadows, almost like they were a bit floating on them. I tried to get a few prawns out, It took me forever. I tried a prawn, It's aroma is piercing my nostrils, Its texture? I didnt knew it had this texture. It was so good. Next I tried a badam with it, Mind Blown! It was good.

The come-down : 

We went back upstairs. Our terrace has a seperation. Nick sat on the left and I was on the right. We decided to stay there alone for a while. I don't like being alone, So I started calling my friends who would be fun to talk to. I had a cig left from the box we bought in the evening. Called four, None took the call. 2 mins down the line, Everyone started calling back, I took one after another and talked for a while. I had more control of what I'm saying than when I dropped UG. After a while we went back to our room. Nick had a blanket he brought from home as it was winter. He took it out and we just stared onto it, feeling it, making small depressions on it using fingers, amused by its texture. It had snow crystal like woolen imprints all over it. I felt like SAing it, not that I did. It was that nice. Nicks bedsheet had small bright coloured cotton granules and they were glowing. 

I took my laptop and thought of watching something for a change. I couldn't go past the Windows 11 wallpaper. It was swaying, gently as a feather. It had different colours, The screen was shifting an inch randomly now and then. I sat there watching that for sometime. Then I opened an image of a red tree with lotta branches and watched it getting trippy. It was fun. Then I realized why am I watching this artificial screen when there is nature right outside? Can't I just walk out and eperience this for real?

I told Nick I'm headin out. It was 10:50, I blasted music in my earphones and got out alone. The roads were just like in a typical acid trip. I got 5 more cigs and started walking around. There were dogs around and one started to follow me, It started stomping back of my chappals, causing it to hit on me harder, but I was careless and walked around smoking a cig, not giving it any attention. It left me alone after a while I crossed its territory. As I was walking back to my PG, wait, Nick is coming towards me. He said he wanted to buy a lolipop. We went back to the store and asked for it, but there wasn't any. We bought a few toffees and returned back to our room. Nick later told me, he came searching for me as he was not ready for me to get lost like Ryan did during the last trip. 

As the trip was almost settling down, I wanted to shit real bad. I went to the restroom and Is this diarrhea, JESUS, It was pure liquid. As it went in the toilet, It started forming patterns, I was disgusted at the same time amazed how it turned out. I got back on my bed. Nick already put on his eye mask and was ready to sleep. By  this time we were both exhausted by the trip. We just wanted to get this over with and sleep. Around 1 AM, I was a  bit horny, I have lotta porn on my laptop. As the newly bought chrager started working, I've started watching porn on the lap again. I decide to jerk off. Man was it pleasurable. It was insane. I think acid can make you do stupid shit. It's so easy to get me to do stufff when I'm on acid. After cumming I saw my body was full of miniature red, blue and green lines. I stared at it for a few minutes and then laid down to sleep.

Trying to sleep was hardtime. I heard musical isntruments like a Pink Floyd song periodically. There were visuals matching them too. It went on for a few times , Then I fell asleep. Convenient trip indeed. Much lesser visuals than UG, Much more mental trip than UG. Not my type of acid and dont wanna do "Cali Sunshine" again. Not a big fan at all.
