This is about the first time i took acid. It happened nine years ago, but it has remained the most intense drug experience of my life.
My friend L and I went over to J's house for our weekly gathering of consuming large amounts of pot and whatever whisky was on sale that week. When we arrived we could tell J was on something other than our normal weed/alcohol combo. I asked what was up, then he went to the freezer and pulled out a quarter sheet.
Since L and I had never tripped before he agreed to give us each a dose. We both dropped and then smoked a few bowls of herb. About an hour later I felt very jittery but not uncomfortable, also noticed the colors in the room taking on an amazing neon type brightness. I also found it hard to stop smiling or keep myself from laughing at the littlest things. Being inexperienced I thought this was the height of the trip. So I talked J into giving us another dose.
This where shit got crazy.
After about 30mins of sitting on the floor laughing my ass off at some music videos I got up to take a piss. As soon I got up my legs felt like they were made of rubber, and with each step I took it felt as if I was walking across a trampoline. I thought "wow this is strange, but kinda cool". When I made it to the bathroom I noticed how light and numb my arms and hands felt when unzipping my pants. It seemed to take minutes for the piss to start coming out. When it did it seemed to bounce off the water and come back at me. This is the point I thought "holy shit, what have i did to myself?" and "thank god i don't have to shit".
When i came back to the tv room L had the idea to drive to the gas station a few blocks away for some donuts. I didn't really want to go but the trip was getting more heavy so i thought some fresh air would make me feel better. So J gathered some change-(to this day i don't know why since me and L both had money lol)-gave it to me, and we were off.
Upon arriving at the gas station there was a group of chinese people standing outside talking very loudly. L and I took one look and could not help but to break into this insanely crazy laughter that you only get with good acid. We go into the store and I totally forget what the hell I'm there for when L says "hey I found the donuts". I go over and we pick out some randomly pick some out. I take the donuts to the counter and the clerk tells me the price. I look at my handful of change blankly, no matter how hard I try I have completely forgotten how to count. I hold out my hand and the clerk lady gives me a "are you crazy?" type look then digs thru the change and takes what she needs. Once outside more crazy laughter follows.
Once back at the house we all sit on the floor in a type of circle. We engage in random talk. usually I'm a more quiet hold stuff in type of guy, but i was able to open up completely. When the talk turned toward death and how we will be remembered, we all agreed to change the subject and go back to watching music videos. I then look at J and his face is contorting into demonic type images, streching far and wide. With the objects in the room bouncing up and down I get the impression that I'm sitting at a camp fire. Then my whole field of vision starts flickering up and down with a black line in the middle like a tv thats vertical is out of wack. I'm not sure if i closed my eyes or if I semi black out. I completely loss any sense of time, space, or self. I was not thinking only existing.
When thoughts start coming thru my mind again i had no memory at all of taking any drug, I thought "this is how I've always been". I have no idea how long I was like this, but all i remember from this state of mind is existing in total blackness. Then I suddenly fill with relief and think "oh I forgot, I took acid, I will get better sometime".
My minds kinda fuzzy after that ,but not long after coming to I remember my brother needed to use my dads car to go to work in the morning, and the sun was already starting to come up. J's girlfriend says "you better get back or you bother will be at your house looking for the car". I imagine my brother running around looking for the car and find this extremely funny. By now I'm past my peak and am truly starting to enjoy the trip.
On the way home we blast NINs Head Like A Hole on the stereo, as I look out the widow watching the clouds melt into each other.
luckily when we got home my dad was still asleep and my brother hadn't came over yet.
L and I continue the fun by laying upside down looking out the widow and seeing how beautiful the blue morning sky looked. And looking into a mirror making faces, I was amazed looking into the mirror at the detail in which i could see my face. Every pore seemed to be amplified.
By now it had been 12-14 hours since taking the acid and the dirt spots on the wall were no longer zig-zagging, L went home and i decided to take a bath and try to get a little sleep.(even though none came til the next nite)
Me and L were great friends before this but sharing such an intense experience together made us closer then ever before.
Even though the first part of the trip was so scary and unexpected I'am happy to have gone thru it. It helped me realize no matter how bad things are going its never as bad as it seems, and that tomorrow is a new day and things will eventually get better. It also helped me not to take things so seriously, and see the humor in life and my own faults and short comings.
Have fun, this is just a big game called LIFE. The out come depends on how bad or well you play it.
Thanks for reading, sorry my grammar sucks. Hope it wasn't to bad.
