Template:Proofread Trip Reports - Diphenidine

• Date/Weight/Gender/Age: 20-11-2014/65KG/male/21

Content

• T+2 Objects and tv became hard to understand, Kevin McCloud was so perplexing and frantically confusing (while watching Grand Designs). Very odd cognitive effects.
• T+4 I became very sleepy and retired to bed with an eye mask and ear plugs. This is where the effects became more pronounced; I was drifting away, an out of body experience but into another dimension. It was as if I was hallucinating in a sense that I didn't know I had. Instead of visualS (very weak OEVs and stronger CEVs) there was another sense, maybe my psychological model of spatial association, that was extremely distorted.

As i lay there for an eternity floating and exploring this gel-like purest black space i became conscious of the fact that the sound of my (racing) heart beat was becoming quieter. Here i postulated at what was happening and maybe i was infact unconscious. The only thing tethering me to this dimensional plane was the light breeze i could feel on my shoulder. Through this i managed to move my hand up to my mouth, at which point i could open my eyes and was seemingly fine.

• T+5 I was attempting for a while how to describe the things i saw, these strange shape. But at the same time they were indescribable objects/shapes, non-shapes.
• T+6 Sleep came easy with +1mg of etizolam. Strange vivds dreams were had.

• Summary: Very novel, not much of a party drug but very fascinating effect. I have been theorising at what sense this drug mainly modulates/distorts and i have come up with several possibilities; is it my spatial association cognitive processing, or maybe the way my brain interprets gravity or incorporates gravity into my model of spatial existence.

Duration;6hours, onset;1.5-2hours No hang over effects.
