It was 2022, the height of the Covid era in college. My roommates and I had found ourselves drawn into a world of psychedelic exploration, a cosmic journey that spanned several months. As we navigated the uncharted territories of our minds, we were eager to push the boundaries and test the limits of these mind-expanding substances. This is the story of my most ambitious trip yet: an 1100 microgram LSD experience that I fondly call the "Kaleidoscope Dream."

I had become quite the experienced psychonaut, having taken multiple trips on both LSD and magic mushrooms. My confidence had grown with each trip, leading me to push the limits of what I thought was possible. And so, on one fateful day, I decided to embark on my most daring adventure yet, by taking a staggering 1100 micrograms of LSD.

The stage was set for an unforgettable experience. My two roommates, both experienced trippers themselves, decided to join me on this journey, albeit on lower doses. The weather was perfect – warm and sunny, with a gentle breeze that caressed our skin. We spent the day on our 9th-floor balcony, observing the world below like gods on a mountaintop. Mac Miller's soulful album "Circles" provided the soundtrack to our day, as we immersed ourselves in the wonder of the moment.

As the LSD began to work its magic, I noticed that my senses were enhanced to an extraordinary degree. Colors were vibrant and intense, and the world seemed to be painted in high-definition. I could discern minute details at distances that would have been impossible under normal circumstances. My hearing was razor-sharp, and I could pick out a symphony of sounds that I never knew existed. Even my sense of smell was heightened, allowing me to detect the faintest of aromas that mingled in the air.

In an attempt to intensify the experience even further, I decided to smoke some weed. The results were nothing short of astounding. The sensations that had previously been amplified were now magnified to the point of sensory overload. And yet, amidst the chaos, a new ability emerged: by focusing my vision on any object for more than five seconds, I could create kaleidoscope-like visuals that morphed and changed with every heartbeat.

Despite the intensity of these sensory experiences, my cognitive function remained largely unaffected. My thoughts were surprisingly clear and concise, and I was able to communicate effectively with my roommates throughout the entire trip. This was a stark contrast to my previous experiences, where my ability to form logical thoughts and engage in conversation had been severely compromised.

As the hours passed and the trip began to wind down, my roommates and I reflected on our journey. They were amazed at how "normal" I had seemed throughout the entire experience, given the massive dose I had taken. To me, this trip was a testament to the power of the human mind, and the incredible resilience that lies within each of us.

The "Kaleidoscope Dream" was a sensory rollercoaster that pushed the limits of my perception and understanding. It was a trip that tested my courage and expanded my consciousness, forever changing the way I view the world. In the midst of the Covid era, this experience was a reminder of the boundless potential of the human spirit, and the beauty that can be found even in the darkest of times.
