First time trying a non-alcohol recreational drug. It was some girls birthday party I got invited to. Everyone got drunk, a good time was had blah blah blah. Then someone suggested we went to some rave that was happening that night. I had little idea of what to actually expect when I went, so I agreed.
We drove for what must have been 60-90 minutes to get to this field in the middle of nowhere, and then proceed to walk another 10 minutes to one of them tunnely things underneath a dual carriageway (underpass?). This was about midnight. Some guy had set up some speakers and lights and was testing the stuff before the rave started. It got underway and some real seedy characters turned up. By the DJ I saw a woman exchanging money with some guy and giving him something. I ask one of my friends what she is doing, and Im told she is selling drugs. I go up to her and ask her what she has, which was the usual like ecstasy, LSD, and some others. I think my exact words were
"Id like to buy some ecstasy please"
Which probably sounded really lame, but I was a complete newbie. I took the ecstasy and I didnt really feel a whole lot, then for some reason I went back to the woman and got some LSD. I have no idea what I was thinking, I was drunk, had just taken ecstasy and then ask for LSD? She put some drop on my hand and I took it. Proceed the crappiest night of my life. For the next 5 hours I just sat in the same spot, freezing my ass off, being completely weirded out by my experience. Near the end of the night I got extremely paranoid. I thought the cops were about to come and bust us at any moment. I came very very close to wondering off into the fields to avoid the cops. But for some reason common sense kicked in and I turned back and went to the group and forced myself to stay with someone I knew.
The whole ordeal was made worse by us staying round some guys house for the night. I got no sleep due to my thumping heart and being freaked out by my vision being seriously impaired.
I felt very ashamed of what I had done for the next few days, due to my fear-mongering education on drugs growing up. And its not been until recently that I can appreciate how stupid I was on that night. (i.e. the mixing of so much drugs in an unsafe environment for my first experience)
Ever since then, I don't think I could ever take drugs on a night out somewhere I couldnt quickly and easily get back to somewhere I felt safe.
