nights. In this experiment I tried ingesting the Ludiomil some two hours into<br />

the LSD trip. <strong>The</strong> amount of dream activity subsequent to this experience<br />

was far less than my previous experience when I'd ingested the Ludiomil<br />

before taking the LSD.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Ludiomil took effect some 15 minutes after ingesting, and the change<br />

was quite apparent. It intensified the acid high and produced what I'll<br />

describe as a "platinum plated" acid trip. It was as though every perception<br />

and thought were coated with a silverish translucent light. I described this in<br />

the LSD chapter as a "thin invisible membrane between myself and<br />

anything my senses touched upon."<br />

<strong>The</strong> most spectacular part of this journey came later when I took a balloon<br />

of nitrous oxide. I have tried nitrous with virtually every <strong>psychedelic</strong> and<br />

every combination. I thought I knew the limits of the nitrous experience and<br />

was quite unprepared for the remarkable transformation that took place. I<br />

can only describe it as a totally hilarious, melting through the bottom of the<br />

universe as it all came swirling down into me. <strong>The</strong> "melting" sensation of<br />

this experience was most distinct from the common nitrous high.<br />

In my third experiment with this combination I took the Ludiomil five hours<br />

prior to the LSD. This produced significantly more dream activity during<br />

subsequent nights than when I'd ingested the Ludiomil after the LSD. This<br />

trip also allowed me to take a closer look at the "membrane" between my<br />

mind and what I perceived. On this occasion I saw the membrane as a<br />

spongy, or even spring-loaded barrier, between my mind and the world. It<br />

seems as though Ludiomil functions by creating a time-delay buffer zone<br />

which prevents rapid responses and changes in the mind.<br />

During this experience I injected a small dose of Ketamine, 45 mg. I found<br />

it produced a quite unique Ketamine experience in which I had more<br />

freedom to shift between an individual and an infinite perspective than ever<br />

before.<br />

LSD + Ketamine - This experience took place while I was backpacking in<br />

Death Valley Using <strong>psychedelic</strong>s in natural environments, and in solitude,<br />

tends to produce intense experiences. However, taking <strong>psychedelic</strong>s in the<br />

wilderness can be dangerous for someone who is not experienced with both<br />

<strong>psychedelic</strong> use and in surviving harsh terrain. Psychedelics can easily<br />

disrupt several basic survival instincts, such as sense of direction and sense<br />

of time. <strong>The</strong> unique portion of this experience came during the LSD trip. I<br />

had ingested some 350 mcg., an amount which for me normally produces<br />

only peripheral visual phenomenon.<br />

As I hiked through the mountains of Death Valley there were some
