It was in some bushes next to a motorway at the edge of my town, summer 2002. My mate was with me (it was his first time, too) and two lads in the year below me who smoked a lot of weed were going to give us our first buckets (gravity bongs). The two lads were sniggering because they were obviously planning to 'stitch' us. I told them that I knew they were going to stitch me and to put more in, because I wanted to be stitched (hardcore). This confused them but they did, and pulled me a big creamy bucket. Anyway, I took the first two burns and I think my mate had the left over thirds.
I stumbled out of the bushes and sat on the path. I hadn't taken drugs before, so it was such an overwhelming assault on the senses and mind that I just kind of sat there for a few minutes not really thinking about what had happened. All of a sudden a car drove right past me at 60+mph. It sounded completely different and the sound kind of hung in the air. I looked up and saw beams of sunlight shining towards me from a bright blue summer sky, and suddenly remembered what had happened and why everything was so strange.
My thoughts were so deep, complex and creative that I became quickly obsessed with the mind and stumbled upon bluelight and erowid. I would smoke back to back buckets in the forest with my (other) friend, trying to alter my mind as much as possible and talking about intense subjects that we'd never remotely considered before. And, here I am.
It was behind this bus stop. I was sitting on the pavement to the right of the bus stop.
