The subject hadn’t done any drugs for 2 weeks before this and the previous week had a mild psychotic episode as a result from stress (their parents found out about their drug abuse and had a big argument) which left the subject somewhat depressed and unmotivated before this but overall hadn’t had any psychotic symptoms since then.

The setting was in their bedroom in the dark with some music playing through headphones

Timeline

T+ 0:00 - Eyeballed a 2cm line which would have been around 80mg

T+ 0:10 - start feeling a slight high, and slightly drunk. Drink an energy drink because it’s getting late

T+ 0:20 - definitely feeling the high now and is dissociating a little

T+ 0:25 - start getting visual hallucinations such as shadows/lights moving and rarely faces

T+ 0:30 - “seeing lots of shadow people at the far end of my bed and feel strongly sedated but still able to move. If I close my eyes it feels so much darker than usual and it keeps on getting darker and when I reopen my eyes I see lots of visual distortions for a few seconds”

T+ 0:45 - “I have very little control over the shadow people and they don’t really interact with me unlike with other hallucinations. Feel the euphoria a bit but it’s not as much as I expected and is slightly disappointing, but the hallucinations aren’t. I don’t feel that much physically other than like my body is numb and when I went to the toilet I felt quite dizzy and uncoordinated. I keep seeing things move in the corner of my eye and if I dissociate with my eyes open then I hallucinate much more intensely, such as seeing geometry that looked organic, like a mix between flesh and plants”

T+ 1:00 - “do a 1cm line (~30mg) because I felt it coming down and wanted to prolong it. It was a little difficult to snort the line because my depth perception was a little off so it took a few tries to line it up properly”

T+ 1:10 - it is noticably coming down but the other line slowed it down a little. Still hallucinating and dissociating a little

T+ 1:30 - effects are almost fully gone so I go to sleep. By this time I am having no hallucinations at all and feel almost normal other than some dizziness

...

The day after: feel overall more energetic from afterglow and it feels pretty nice. No psychotic symptoms at all and feel normal other than this change in mood
