before i went to college, Id smoked weed less than 20 times total, smoked maybe a grand total of three packs of cigarettes, eaten mushrooms once, although i didnt trip, and smoked salvia, where I tripped a little. I also had one really bad overdose on DXM.
Within a week I was up to a half-pack a day and had gotten drunk for the first time (also my first random hookup on that night.....ah, that was a fun night). Within a month I was smoking pot every day, and often multiple times a day. And not just a bowl or two, but like 3-4 blunts of chronic a day (only possible cause i was not paying for it).
I tripped on 2C-I for the first time, also my first real trip, and actually tripped on shrooms for the first time, and several times after that. I bought a hit of some awesome acid, only to dump it out of my pocket at some point during the stoned out night, never to see again. I wouldnt see any acid till much later. I also tried absinthe for the first time, truly tripped on salvia for the first time, and snorted my first lines of cocaine.
The weird thing is after I dropped out of college after one semester, I totally noticed the change. The weed wasnt as good. The mushrooms were harder to get and more expensive. No one had even heard of any acid being around. And there was no way in hell anyone knew anything about 2C-I. The only two drugs I tried when I wasn't in college were Ecstasy (including one blue dolphin that Im sure was High MDxx) and methamphetamine (as bunk X and smoked). Oh, and one weird crack smoking experience.
After a year of bumming around doing nothing, I moved out here and went back to school. And boom. The weed is awesome again. Ive tripped on acid 4 times, and I could probably go for more if i were truly interested. The shrooms are awesome and insanely cheap. Pharms are plentiful. Its nuts. If you have money, you could stay high for a very long time. Only bummer is that the X still sucks.
