PSYCHEDELIA

Psychedelic Trip Model (from 'Psychedelia' book)
Now Playing: Liquid Downbeats Vol 1

This simple graphic representation of a 'model' psychedelic journey is invoked throughout the Psychedelia book, and may be useful as a stand-alone item. My 4-step model combines and streamlines a number of tentative trip charts proposed in the 1960s-70s. After finishing it I was pleased to discover that it aligned very well with a couple of additional models I ran across in ethnobotany-anthropology & elsewhere. It works primarily for the long-acting serotonergic hallucinogens, meaning LSD, mescaline and psilocybin. The ayahuasca journey tends to follow a similar trajectory, but due to its different length (3-4 hours instead of 10+) and strong shamanic footing, I designed a specific trip model for ayahuasca, which also appears in the book.
