Came across this wild trip report from someone who was in Brooklyn on 9/11, tripping on 500µg of LSD while watching the whole thing unfold in real time from a rooftop. He was with two friends — one also on acid and the other on mescaline — and they had a clear view of the Manhattan skyline when the attacks happened.
What starts as a chill, introspective trip turns into one of the most intense and horrifying experiences imaginable. He describes the moment of the first explosion, the surreal visuals of the smoke and fire, and the way the collective screams of the city pierced through his peak. Then the towers collapsed. He said the fear and trauma from that moment were so overwhelming, it sent him into dry heaving and near ego death.
Super intense and emotional read — definitely one of the most unique and haunting firsthand 9/11 accounts I’ve ever seen, let alone from someone in an altered state of consciousness.
