This weekend I had the pleasure of attending Winter Music Conference in Miami for the second year in a row. For those unaware it is an electronic music gathering where all of the worlds top DJ's/producers/musicians fly in and play all kinds of events in all kinds of different places. The crown jewel of WMC is Ultra Music Festival. The following is a report of an LSD experience I experienced on Saturday of the festival.

My good friend X that I do not get to see often brought doses to Miami, and being the psychedelic lightweight that I am decided on only taking one. Nice perforated tabs with no taste, just that metallic dry taste once it starts to kick.. ~100ug

After ingestion I felt the substance in my body within 5 minutes, big smile on my face and the light becomes more enhanced and the sun continues to raise my spirits.

After an hour I'm fully into it, I follow my friends to Rusko at the mainstage and I'm dancing my ass off, the sound captivating my brain and the energy of the crowd is really getting me going. We take a few steps back and hangout under a tree because it's starting to get overwhelming. Visuals are spectacular, the leaves on the tree look like holographic nature razors that would slice skin if you came into contact with them. Being a music producer and DJ myself, I start to come to some awesome realizations about what it takes to get to the "top" and be the one playing these kind of events. Firstly that as a DJ you can literally suck and feed off the crowds energy and know exactly what song needs to come next, and secondly that you make music that can bring out the variety of human emotion and experience. This was most evident when Rusko dropped the song "Bird Machine" by DJ snake. It's a heavy bass infused song but the main hook is a bird chirping and has all kinds of animal noises that really brought out the primitive nature of the crowd. Excellent.

We stuck around the main stage for a bit longer, long enough for my visuals to become so intense that the 100 ft structure was starting to disassemble into different pieces before my eyes and dancing/walking made me feel as if I was floating and moving much faster than normal. We walked all the way to the back of the festival by the bay and laid in the grass in order for me to take a breather and ground myself (psychedelics overwhelm me, even after about 100 experiences it still takes me by surprise every time) as my head leaned back and touched the soft earth I entered the peak experience.

Instantly my body was connected to the ground and small jolts of what felt like "nature electricity" for lack of a better term surged up my arms and legs. I perceived a fantastic image of myself as a man made out of roots and dirt stuck to the ground with the energy of the earth plugged into myself (I am going to draw/paint this later) and my CEV's were becoming three dimensional and very entertaining. I was seeing beautiful women dancing in a seductive yet happy way in front of me along with what seemed like millions of hands moving back and forth in what looked like a sea of millions of fingers. Looking at the stages and buildings that surround bayfront park was something else as well, they were all stretching into different shapes like my eyes were making them as flexible as taffy.

Still on the ground, I was looking directly up at a palm tree that was right in front of me and the skin of the tree was becoming covered in totem/tiki faces that were staring me down. I started to think of the nature of the cosmos as I usually do and just laughed. I was trying to inquire as to why psychedelics allow me to use my brain in these abstract ways that would never be possible for me sober, which was annoying because I feet that it was unfair for me to need to ingest something to look at things in such a perspective. I became fascinated with the idea of scale, how everything in existence is based on scale, but the scale was so gargantuan that we have to take action and thoughts within our own scale of experience. I thought about my terrible habit of judging people based on looks or about their belief systems. The fact that I think people are less intelligent than me just because they are Christians or are just closed minded in general was so STUPID on the cosmic intelligence scale that it was laughable for me to think I was even the smallest of anything better than anyone, it just didn't make sense.

I made my way to the front of the park after my peak because I wanted to catch Zeds Dead, and as we were by the stage waiting I thought about 9/11 since I was near all these tall buildings and planes were constantly flying by. I hallucinated the most terrible, ear shattering screech of twisted metal and explosion that made me jump and I actually thought it was real like something was going terribly wrong. The horror of what people will do to each other based on hate and all these stupid insignificant ego-driven thoughts made me look to the clouds, cry, and ask "Why can't we just all love each other." I realized, as I have many a times before, that love is by far the most powerful, beautiful, and amazing source of energy/emotion/action OR ANYTHING in the entire universe. The sooner we drop our stupid nationality and realize that we are in this together, as humans, is when we will actually start to fix the world that we fucked up so badly.

The rest of the the trip was nothing worth reporting, besides theivory corporation being flippin awesome! Music and visuals were nice for the remainder of the day but my brain fell back into a non-abstract functioning level and I enjoyed myself with dance, music and good friends

All in all, not too shabby for one hit, it had been a while since I had done LSD as I will only take it in an ideal setting & when I'm sure that it's actually real.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed.

I have found myself wondering the same thing on acid. Why can't we just love? It is a question in the same vein of why can't we have our doors unlocked all the time. Wander into a strangers house and use their possessions are ours.


It's hard enough to communicate with someone sober your intentions in any environment with more than one thing going on, it's simply a load the human mind has difficulty (not impossibility, simply difficulty in handling) with. It is HARD to love.


That is why we can't just do it. It is also why we must spend a lifetime striving towards it.

because it's easier to loathe or be apathetic.

It seems like it takes a lot of extra energy to loath or hate. But apathy? meh.

nope, it actually takes more energy to love.
apathy is the easiest, indifference.

think about it: with all the negativity that "civilizations" exude on this planet, does it really take less energy to love the perpetrators of the madness, the hypocrites? or is it easier to feel contempt?

I think when love is not everywhere or almost everywhere, it is maybe more difficult to love than to be in apathy. But when love is the norm, when it's in abundance it is easier, because your love will be given back to you and there will be little to influence that negatively - the inertia would be gone.

"In these times, of hate and pain; we need a remedy, to take us from the rain. Jealousy, a little greed, I've been thinking of what I need..."

Interesting statement. The human body needs chemical energy in order to live. Scientific energy so to speak, not metaphysical energy. So should some ppl eat more?

Wikipedia says on chemical energy: "Chemical energy of a chemical substance can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction."

Maybe some ppl need catalysts...

And on a last note:

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

Take care

I totally agree with this statement.. nationalities are but divisions among humanity. They give people a way of associating a person with a group of people in which they can form a sterotypical view of that person. Nationality divides people from relating to one another, thinking they are different rather than one in the same. With this division comes the impossibility of common love. It is easy to conjure contempt for people different than you, associating them with stereotypes that are crafted from the actions of certain individuals in that nationality. With such distrust mankind will never become one. I have often given it thought to live on the ocean and not be associated with any nationality at all but to simply be a citizen of humanity. In an ideal world we should all just simply be citizens of humanity imo. Such a world would be much more hospitable to the notion of peace and we would all be better off.

Nailed it.

Awesome report Sky Motion! Music, dancing and psychedelics (especially LSD) mesh very well together. The nights me and friends would set up the stereo outside, get a fire goin, and dance the night away while under acouple hits.



I remember on one of my rue/mimosa experiences I was shown that the most fundamantal structure to everything in existence is love. A love so boundless, so immensely powerful. A strong maternal loving of the highest order. A love that is fierce and relentless. We are immersed in it, as fish in water.

I think competition is an intrinsic part of human nature that has been written into our genetic code. Our competitive spirit is what has ensured the survival of the human race.

Now we don't have natural predators to compete with for food and other resources this natural competitive nature is expressed as competition with other humans in the pursuit of mostly money and (perceived) power.

Humanity has an amazing capacity for love and acceptance, but many of us aren't capable of higher thought forms without some type of spiritual awakening.

Success to many of us is to have material abundance and the gestalt of humanity in this era is to obtain that "success" at the expense of our fellow man & our planet.

If mankind is going to survive long term we really need to move past this and overcome our genetic programming (excuses) and evolve into a more rational & loving state of being.

In the words of Bob Marley
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively

I've been trying to live this lesson now days. Its a beautiful one.

Loved the apocalyptic vision and the message there too.

Awesome to hear about a proper dose of LSD and someone enjoying it! Funny how a tiny piece of paper can do that!
