This Wednesday I experienced what I would call a trainwreck cannabis trip. I have never before been as fucked up as I was, and I never wish to repeat it. I'm just now starting to turn back to normal.
I was going over to a friend to spend the evening there. The plan was to drink some alcohol, smoke some cannabis and play Guitar Hero. Upon my arrival my friend, who will be called L, showed me some homegrown bud that he had just gotten. It had an intense smell, even while it was inside a ziplocked bag, and it was covered in crystals. We quickly broke up what I estimate to be about a gram, and put it in his pipe. There were six people there counting with me and L, but we were the only ones smoking, as two of the people there were already too stoned to move, and the other two were driving.
We moved into his kitchen, where we started to take rapid hits of the bowl, just passing the pipe between us without saying much. I didn't feel too much at the moment, but the second I got into the living room I could already tell that I was in for one hell of a ride. This was a very different high compared to what I was used to and not what I was expecting at all. I became very aware of my own movements, and how my body was feeling. My heart felt like it was racing at 200 BPM, but in contrast, my breathing felt like it was much slower then usual.
Normally when I get these kind of feelings I just tell myself that I'm under the effects of a drug, and that it will be over soon, but this time it didn't work. It felt like my mind couldn't reach my body. I was experiencing an extreme time dilation, and at one point I was staring at my watch, one hundred percent convinced that time had stopped at 9:58. I would get these periods of automation, whereupon I would do something, like play a song on Guitar Hero or talk to my friend, then afterwards I felt like it wasn't me that had done those things. It was like my body was doing things, while my mind was absent and could nothing, but observe these actions.
Later, I had a very peculiar moment. I felt that I could see through peoples facade so to speak. I could feel how a friend of a friend was putting up a front towards the others in the group in an effort to be accepted, and I couldn't help but feel repulsed by his behaviour. I could also see how people were changing their behaviour depending on who they were talking and interacting with. It made me very aware of how we act towards each other.
After a while we went home and as I got to bed, I was having intense CEV's. Fractal patterns were spiraling all over my vision. Normally when I get these weed hallucinations(almost every time I get really high) I can enjoy them, but this time it was hellish. I couldn't sleep because I kept having weird thought patterns that made no sense, but seemed normal at the time. I finally got to sleep around 4 AM.
The days following I had to fight a strong feeling of depersonalization, very similar to what I experienced under the "trip". I felt like my mind was absent while my body went about... It is not pleasant, in fact I felt like I was close to breaking down at moments. Luckily it passed after three days.
Thanks for reading. It felt good to analyze the situation like this. Afterwards I was a bit scared that this experience might have ruined the herb for me, but luckily it seems like I made it through unscathed. I've smoked twice afterwards, once a high dose, and apart from a bit nervousness at the start it's just like before. I suspect that this was a THC "OD".
