Jan 31st 2015- My weed dealer tells me he has acid and asks if i know anyone who wants to buy some. My neighbor an avid user of any drug he can get his hands on starts geeking out telling me he needs me to get some for him. When i get to my dealers house he isnt there but its some other guy expecting me, as he sells it to me he says, a "little bit of weed and youll have the best night of your life". I buy 2 tabs one for my neighbor and one for me we plan on tripping together. Today is also my moms birthday so i have obligations to be with her during the day. After we are done celebrating i try calling my neighbor but i cant get a hold of him. The problem was that i work on a military base (im not in the military im a civilian) and im already fighting charges for being caught on base with weed twice before i cant afford to now be caught with LSD in my truck or be caught with it in my room by my mom. and as crazy as it sounds my mom is a psychic, everytime i bring anything drug related in the house she finds it the next day saying i had a vision of it or something told me to look there, she doesnt always take it since its usually weed and shes used to it but if she found acid she would probably have a cow. Anyways, the night goes on and i ask my brother who is 3 years younger then me if he wants to trip and hes all for it so we each take a hit. I take my dog for a walk and he just sits in front of the tv. after about an hour we dont notice anything different and this is both of our first times tripping. another hour goes by and still nothing. so i remember what the guy said to me "a little bit of weed and youll have the best night of your life" and me and my brother go out to my truck and smoke a blunt. Now we are high but nothing seems out of the ordinary. 'I smoke everyday so i should know if i feel anything different' i think to myself so we go inside and are just about to call it a night when i remember a song i learned on guitar earlier in the day called "Out getting Ribs" by king krule and im anxious to show my brother. so we both get our guitars and start playing. meanwhile robot chicken is on the tv and the tv is the only light on in the house. about 20 minutes have passed since we smoked and my brother says he sees the light leaving the tv and spreading across the room in little geometric shapes and the second he says that i get this beautiful chill up my spine that i can only compare to the feeling of lightning running up my spine its so intense and euphoric that i cant help but laugh and my laugh feels empty and airy and causes more extreme lightning bolts coming from the base of my spine to my ever so welcoming brain. we both look at eachother and agree that the acid is definitley hitting us the room is filled with patterns of light and i feel like im riding on lightning. i get up to walk for the first time and the feeling grows in intensity. i tell my brother to try walking like its something new i invented and he was so amazed by the feeling he walks around the house for about 30 minutes with his arms to the side like an airplane just taking in everything. meanwhile i sit with guitar in hand and anyone who has taken acid can agree that music and rythyms and patterns hit so hard while tripping that im pretty much just getting off in the corner of the room with my guitar feeling every pulse of every note. the way my fingers moved up the fretboard so fluidly and the way my voice changed while singing it is by far the most beautiful thing ive ever done. playing instruments on acid is nirvana. my brother finally stops walking around and at some point i guess he tried getting my attention for a really long time but i was dazed by the music i was playing and feeling and when he catches my attention i look him in the eyes and he says to me that he was just making sure i was okay because i was playing the same riff over and over again and it was annoying him and he later mentioned that when i looked in his eyes he thought he thought i was possessed by something because i looked evil. later on we go outside and its winter and the frozen dew drops on the grass sparkle like the stars in the sky and the stars in the sky were 10 times as beautiful as they usually appear. we sit in this field behind our house chain smoking cigarettes and having an intense conversation about how our lives have intertwined so perfectly and how we as brothers balance eachother out and we discuss conspiracy theories. but i felt like a genius everything makes sense and i was able to make sense of everything. connections come so easy to me i wouldnt trade this feeling for anything in the world. my first acid trip was perfect and was way better than anything i ever imagined. I rode the lightning. still to this day when i play the guitar riff i was tripping out on i can vaguely feel the chills up my spine with every note. and when im finished with probation from the possesion charges i will defnitley trip on acid again.
