I was at a festival. I had arrived before most of my friends as they were coming around evening time. One of my life-long friends, Kevin, was going to be there and we hadn't seen each other in months. First festie of the season; I was very excited. I got everything set-up, ate a little, went saw some music, and as it started to get dark I dosed. At the time I used psychedelics as a challenge to myself as well as for the good reasons. But I would eat a lot of whatever I had. I ate 2 hits, felt impulsive and ate another 2 1/2. Within 25 minutes the visuals had started. I was hit with some vertigo, forehead pressure, and my LSD perma-grin was in full effect. I knew this was going to be the start of a crazy night. Another hour and a half in and my legs were shaking, my body was trembling and I was breathing heavy, sweating like a fat man at a pie eating contest in Louisiana, and the music was growing too intense. I was going to go sit in the back under the trees and you enjoy myself in the back with less assualt on the senses. Then it happens. I see my lifelong best friend making out 10 feet in front of me with my ex-fiance. It'd been 5 months but we had lived together for 3 years and dated for longer. I didn't know they talked to each other much less were they were together. I also had invited Kevin and he had made no mention of her coming. I realized at this point that is why we hadn't talked for so long. I'd been "dumped" by my best friend for a girl whom I was still in love with and this was all happening when I was getting rocked hard already by the acid.
The weird thing is I actually saw them the other night at a show and I was going to go talk to him and make amends, but decided not to. But I was on mushrooms and feeling benevolent, no negative feelings at all, but it I feel no need to bury wrongs. I'll never compromise my values for another person, but I will do all I can to help those I care about and love. I guess when that aspect of me is trod on I don't feel like I need to work it out with whomever did the trodding. Time definitely helps.
EDIT: Worst thing sssss. I guess I have another one. Another bad festie experience: right by my camp there was a crazy trip tent set up with fog machines, blacklights, LEDs for writing on the fabric and these circular undulating ribbons, basically every stereotype you can think of. I see a friend hanging out outside of the tent. I walk over and everyone there is just chilling passing around bowls when this guy walks up. His gait is a little unsteady and he looks real nervous. People are real friendly and offer him a bowl, to sit down, normal friendly things to do. He walks into the tent without a word and comes walking back out with pack of cigarettes. He looks at us and mumbles, "These are my cigarettes." Just then this chick darts out and says, "Hey man... I said take one. Can I have those back?" He lunges at her pushes her over and then stands above her. Everyone is starting to get up to help this girl when she pops back up and nails him three times in the jaw. He just looks stunned and then punches her right in the face. Myself and this other big guy tackle him and have to hold him down while he's freaking out. I mean I feel sorry for the motherfucker but we are all tripping balls and this was probably less pleasant for the non-instigators. He's thrashing, other people are trying to duct-tape his hands. My thoughts are racing, a girl is lying on the ground bleeding from the face, this guy is screaming and slobbering all over, there are drugs everywhere, and security is coming into the camp. Security asked this guy what is in his waist pouch (cough cough sheets of acid) and the security guy reaches for it so the dose slanger books it. Overall, it's complete fucking insanity and it went from being peaceful and us just having a great time to violent reality in a minute. Twackers on LSD surrounded by hippies can still cause violence.
