LSD - Some Experience - The Bad Acid Trip at Ball

[mod37]

[FONT=BergamoStdRegular, Georgia, serif]Ball was coming up, and as usual I was really hyped up for the entire week before. I had done acid four times, one of the times I mixed it with weed and tripped out, having a somewhat bad trip keeping me up all night, which was also the last time I've done it before ball. The other times I had great experiences but no major hallucinations (they only occurred when I mixed it with weed) when I left it alone, not mixing it with anything else. This time I thought I'd be fine cause you know it's ball, I'm surrounded by all my friends, a cool date that I was confident with, and everyone dancing, Sage The Gemini was even performing, what could go wrong right? I wanted to make sure that I really tripped out in a good way so I took an edible to back up the acid, which was supposedly a three dose but you know people always say things. As we we're on the bus I felt ready and excited, maybe one of the most excited I've been. It was like me and my group of friends we're all going on an adventure in a spaceship which was the bus to meet Sage. The guys on the bus all threw money on coke so we got a ton so I ended up taking some of that as well, minutes before the acid and edible kicked in. I was getting super hyped up on the bus, bringing all the attention towards me. As I looked out the bus window I saw the overview of San Francisco, we we're driving across the bay bridge. It was an astonishing sight but for some reason it felt overwhelming as if it we're too much. I stopped looking and I just had this feeling like I had made a big mistake. As we finally got off the bus everyone was already standing outside the ballroom waiting, it felt as if I was in a storybook and it was just beginning, the first chapter. The book was titled "The most awkward ball to ever happen". As my black friend looked at me and turned his head I noticed he had three faces so I knew I was starting to trip out. As it was my turn to enter they had to search and breathalyze us, for some reason I thought the man pushed me so I fell back a little, looking a little suspicious but I still got in fine. Right as I walked in I instantly became startled, I had no idea what to do or where to go with my date, or what to say. I tried talking to her but I wasn't able to form sentences. She was talking to me about her nails and I just got lost in an endless loop of thought. I began to lose it and start freaking out so my next decision was to just sit down. I sat with some of my friends who we're taking a break and we sat and listened to karaoke going on a few feet in front of us. The sound of other students singing was one of the most awful sounds ever when I was tripping, it sounded as if their singing was telling me how this was the worst ball ever and I'm a failure, when clearly I wasn't it was just all in my head. I tried to tell myself that but that bad thoughts wouldn't go away so I just sat at the table staring at space, with a terrified, unamused look on my face. I tried to dance but it felt too awkward. Finally Sage came and I felt a lot better we all ran to see him and I kept telling my date "SAGE IS HERE SAGE IS HERE"He started to sing and we all started to jump, but it was different, this was probably the trippiest part of the event, as he was singing I felt like I could hear right through his words, and instantly understand his truth, that he was selling out. As this was happening I noticed a guy on my bus talking to my date, as if he we're stealing her, whenever I looked at him that night I saw him as an evil villain who's trying to shut me down. Even on the bus ride back. Finally ball ended I was ready to go home and go to an after party. On the bus ride back I could barley think I sat down and it felt as if all the details we're being visualized. Everyone on the bus had a part in my life and we we're returning from our adventure, everyone was doing things, moving differently. As blunt as that sounds it was just an astonishing aspect of what I was experiencing. To this day (it's only been a few days) it's a little mysterious as to what lesson I learned but there is a few good possibilities.[/FONT]

Wow great trip report, I've always wanted to try acid but don't know if mentally I could handle some of the things you described

Nice, thanks for sharing, sounds like an interesting experience. Honestly I'd avoid trying to tell yourself this was a "bad trip". Sometimes trips are challenging, and I think that having a date made it harder for you, and also having to deal with a bunch of people and a crazy environment. It sounds like you still got some interesting parts it sounds like, and you're no worse for it. I find that sometimes people obsess over whether an experience was "bad" and if they're damaged now or whatever, but all trips can contain negative and positive parts. It's really important to make sure you're in the right kind of setting when you trip because your surroundings can have a really huge impact on how you feel during it.
