"I was keeping my robe and shoulder-length wig to the side until you gave the detail I asked about as you just did.
If I were to judge you for those circumstances, I had people take excessive doses (less extreme dosages than 40mg of a bomamine though) after I had warned them that they had x number of dosages and they immediately disregarded the information and ingested all at once.
BTW that guy might have been smart, but he surely thought himself smarter than he was."
In all fairness to him though: my tolerance had skyrocketed the week before, so while 40mg may have been good for me it was not for him, the reason I added that bit was how I should have handled the situation. I went in guns blazing, did my 40mg line, conked out, told everyone else to do 2mg in my delirious state and pretty much passed out a few seconds later so. Which is exactly what they told me they did later (however they didn't catch the dose so thought it was like K :/ ), what were they meant to think?! I /do/ see exactly where they were coming from but really!? Before doing a line of something completely random that I may have been raving about for the past 2 weeks, telling everyone, everything under the sun about these extremely potent and hazardous (or so we thought (and found out!) at the time) psychedelics, maybe do some of your own research?! It was also labelled...
It was both our faults, really...because if anyone is under my care, I'll always take responsibility, which is what I really needed to do! I came pretty much rushing out of the most peaceful trip to a nightmare of blood, sweat, insanity, vomit and terror. I spent the entire night/morning by their sides watching them and turning a bad one into a good one, which I took to be my punishment. Thankfully only one such incident has occurred since and that was due to me leaving the bag out. I still practice harm reduction on everyone (even when they don't need it; after a negative 40mg 25x trip...you'll get it!!) and I /actually/ managed to bring him down fairly peacefully after about 4hrs or so (and god knows how many benzos!) but it was touch and go for a second (in both cases).
Nowadays I don't play with NBOMes or FLYs (maybe a FLY or DOx; if it's rare; an ALEPH certainly!) and I'll never, ever share them; they're going to either my gf or I (she's also /very/ experienced, thankfully, because the last trip nearly made /me/ pack it in for good was it not for her. So if we just have acid or tryptamines, she's on call, rest of the time I sit with her but she really doesn't need it!
PS: Thanks for keeping that robe on; I usually try to excite, calm, then explain when I tell stories. It's a habit I picked up in school but carried on in the rest of life too. The way people get glued to their phones, if I don't make it interesting, they'll stop listening and could miss a really important lesson. Plus no-one likes boring stories!
PS2:
"BTW that guy might have been smart, but he surely thought himself smarter than he was." -> Yeah, that's the weird thing, he was usually a lot more humble and quiet even when we were on stims or MD; /even/ then, he was always fairly down to earth. I think he really wanted a bad one (at the back of his mind) so he could have an excuse to knock it on the head for the next few weeks after as I don't think the 25x's were ever up his alley really - seizure or non - he liked the natural-ish trips (kinda like me at my start but I got sick of bodyloads!). M was like my rock throughout the last year of uni though; quiet, smart and kicks off if he needs to (he's a hard bastard too) (I think he may have been going through something with his, now, wife as well but I can't remember; It was years ago now).
Pretty much everything you need in a friend if you're a blackout drunk (as I was back then!), not so much when heavily tripping though I suppose! He was like a pitbull when he snapped; vicious when he needed to be and cool when he needed to be! He taught me about books, covers and taking your time in everything:
"Life is not a race."
Everyone needs an M but perhaaaaps not quite a lively as mine!
