PCP + Marijuana - first time - terrified of non-existence

Before I start, I should say that this was one of the stupidest things I've done, and would not recommend anyone try a drug for the first time without friends around, or reading up first.
I got home from work a few Saturdays ago, was playing some music and was pretty bored. At around six pm, I decided to try some "supergrass", I actually obtained this from a friend who had to leave town because her ex boyfriend (cocaine and so on dealer, how she got it), was gonna kill her. This was a parting gift. I hadn't been game to try it for like, three months or so, but decided to try this.
It was PCP sprayed onto marijuana, which was pretty strong by the looks of things, but the crystals could easily have been PCP rather than THC for all I know.
After I had smoked the first cone (605pm maybe), I felt the familiar relaxation of THC kick in, along with a quite cheerful feeling. I was chatting on the net, cracking jokes, and generally being jovial. Because of these positive effects, I took another cone at 620ish. The effects continued, but physicially, my heart rate increased, and my muscles seemed stiff and filled with fluid. My mind, however, was racing onto other things, I write philosophy as a recreation, and I was furiously scribbling stuff down, even if it was just pictures.
I continued to smoke two more cones, and was done around 7pm. My folks had gone to bed (they go early), and I was by myself in my den. I became intensely paranoid, KNOWING I was going to die. Exactly how this transformation occured I'm not sure, but I know nausea was the first bad sign. I began to sort of stumble around the room, walking in a bizarre manner. I collapsed on the floor, after just screaming maniacally. I then remembered my parents were in the house, and grabbed a pillow, screaming and crying. I was so afraid, I've never felt anything like it, fear was at my very core, of everything. Just imagine everything being a threat, pens looked like knives. Well, that's not entirely correct, they had the CONNOTATION of knives. I went to the door, trying to summon my strength, but as I touched the handle, I felt this rush of air under the door, and I was convinced I was being sucked into a black hole in my living room.
At that time (I'm completely guessing, but maybe 8pm, I ran for the couch, grasping at it's bottom, still nauseated, trying to hold onto my life, waiting for non existence to take me in excrutiating pain. I blacked out for the shortest period of time, though when I looked at the clock on the computer, I focused especially hard, and noticed "847pm" appear. I slowly walked to the door, out into the living room, and into the bathroom, where I vomited violently, blood coming out everywhere. My eyes began hurting, the back of them feeling like it was pinched and squeezed, when I finally got up, I looked into the mirror to see that I had no pupils! I collapsed on the floor as my legs gave way, and crawled to my room again.
I got into the chair, shivering violently, occasionally talking to the room, asking it to finally finish me, and how I was sick of the ice (?). My friend began talking to me on MSN, and I tried to respond, but I was hopelessly paranoid, I tried to feel my face, and it was like liquid. This incited another screaming fit, my body was coated in a thick, clear, cold liquid (actually sweat I think). I thought this was how it would end, a bit like the blob. I cried, and tears ran down to my mouth, I didn't breathe as much as possible, and passed out for very short periods of time again. I also remember Aphex Twin playing on my stereo, and me throwing myself around, the breakbeats seemed to be the house yelling at me, much like a demon.
The next time I know was 1132pm, and I noticed my eyes were bleeding. I didn't know it was my body, and just sat back, completely seperated from the world, all that seemed to exist was fear, always fear, different types though, all my worst fears seemed to come forward.
The room filled with spiders, then seemed to crush me, each time, I'd sit perfectly still, my pupiless eyes flittering all over the place, I could barely see, everything was blurred.
I felt like living death, merely a soul waiting to die. There were several trips to the bathroom, blood falling from my mouth, and less often, my eyes. I concluded I was possessed by a demon, and decided to cut myself open to release it. When I touched my neck with the knife, I couldn't even feel it, fortunately, I could also not feel my hands, and I dropped the knife, and stumbled around the house.
I can't remember much after that, except that things physically remained the same, but my mind eventually lost it's fear, and everything that went with it. After sleep (the next day at around 7ish, I think - can't remember), the effects mentally were gone, but I looked like death physicially, and my eyes hurt for a week.
 
I am soo sorry you had to experiance that. It makes me want to come over and just give a reasurring hug. Were you telling yourself over and over that it was the drug and it will eventually wear off? I would think even subconciously you did if you didn't go get your parents. Thank you for posting this, it lets me know that is something I need not touch. Get yourself some rest. Thankyou again.

Thank you. What made me think it was safe was that the person I got it from was someone I knew very well, so I was under the belief it'd be safe - stupid I know.
As for my eyes and mouth, I've looked around the web for information on what actually happened to me. The mouth stuff seems to be just excess vomiting and I probably burst a capillary in my neck, my eyes I'm not sure, that doesn't seem to be a common symptom. I was thinking about seeing a doctor, but they're pretty much ok now (bit over a fortnight later), and I'm trying not to worry about it - my pupils are back, :)
Wonder Woman - I knew it was a drug, I think subconsciously, but I just couldn't feel my body at any stage, all that sensation was just FEAR. I kept stumbling, falling, and the last thing I "felt" was nausea, which came and went.
 
Man that's some crazy times, if I EVER had an experience like that I'd never touch the shit again. Although out of the three times I tried it they weren't nearly as intense as your time. The most intense was when we (myself and two friends) rolled a blunt with some weed and the rest PCP. But I think it was that strong because we had already smoked a smaller amount of straight PCP earlier that day (but not enough to really feel it). Personally, I think that your experience will have a lot to do with your already existing emotions. If you're having some tough times it's best to stear clear of the wet for a while. So far I've had a pretty good time with it, but like I said, if I EVER experience what you did, once I make it through that hell I'll never touch it again!
 
that definitely sounds like an overdose situation. Good thing you didnt wind up offing yourself.
The worst thing that ever happened to me with PCP was short term amnesia (only about 1 hour or so).
Im pretty sure this contributed to my brain being slightly out of whack all these years. It was a very strange experience not knowing who anyone is (including myself and my own brother).
I had continued smoking dust for about a year or so after that event but have since gave it up (only cuz I cant find it).
PLEASE- If you do smoke again take it easy! Maybe switch over to Ketamine for inner exploration.
 
Holy shit! That sounds like a terrible experience! I'm glad you're alright, but that sounds really traumatizing. Once on dramamine I kept coming to and thinking I WAS dead and wondering if God was going to send me to Heaven or Hell. But I have never had anything like your situation happen to me!

One of my mates is an occasionaly K user - not for me I don't think. I should have slowed down, but it was really comfy at first - just goes to show that what you feel is often no indication of what's going on.
Thanks for the looks guys.
 
ya whats the deal with smoking 4 joints in 1 hour, even if it was regular weed thats too much to be usefull, let alone PCP laced weed....
that does sound terrible though, bleeding from the eyes is definetly not a good sign...
 
1 - It wasn't four joints, it was four cones. The joints that I have (when I have them) contain about 6 times as much ganja as a cone.
2 - I'll never touch pcp again, no.
 
Nobody has explored this road yet, so I'll ask...
Are you sure you were actually bleeding from your eyes? Were there blood spatters on the sink or floor in the morning? Is there evidence to prove this actually happened? You did say you were having hallucinations... Maybe the blood was one of them.
Bad experience man… PCP is something I don’t think I would want to try.
 
Whoa! Seriously, I don't know what to say...
Glad to hear you are doing better.

Honestly, I never thought this was the case until you brought it up. I dunno, I was really sure, there was nothing when I got up, but it could've been cleaned, it was also a long time before I felt "normal" again. It's a possibility I suppose, but my eyes felt fucked for days after, and looked fucked for a while too.
Thanks mate.
 
What a nightmare! :o
Sorry bout that awful expericne, but glad you're okay now..
Thanks for sharing
