What I intend to do over the weekend of 2/29 is consume a tab of LSD. I have taken this substance before and I am fully aware of what to expect.

My spirits are soaring for no real apparent reason. Maybe I’m free from the things that ill me.
9:16PM – I am starting to feel very ‘smiley”, or happy, either or I guess. A rumble from my stomach (not to be mistaken for hunger) is resonating throughout my limbs and face. It can’t be true, but I feel hollow. I notice that my...
