Another bad trip; LSD.

So it seems as though all of my
most recent
psychedelic journeys have not
ended so well.
And this would be another of those times.

Snow and
Lucy was in the Sky with Diamonds,
and I could not,
and would not,
let the chance to experience
the snow with LSD in my blood stream.

Blotter had graced my tongue
only once before,
but I knew -more or less-
what to expect from the small piece of paper.

I had bought the acid with the intention
of spending a groovy day with my big brother.
And in the crisp air, we placed the
bit of paper under our tongues.
And an hour or two afterwards;
I was back in my house.
I felt the buzz.

And it felt wrong.
Or I was paranoid.
Over the next few minutes
I tried to talk myself out of
having any negative feelings.
But I felt my stomach tighten.
I doubled over in a painful nausea.
My weak stomach purged,
I must have puked three or four times.

My mind just revolved around a few thoughts.
This feeling wont go away.
Baba will be home soon.
It lasts twelve hours.
Oh god, tell me this isnt happening.

Confusion and paranoia mixed with
the LSD's thickening distort on my emotions.
I was in a cold sweat; I just couldn't stop shivering..
I couldn't tell if I was really sick,
or if I was too cold.
Mostly I was just worried Baba would
notice my strange behavior.

-as an old hippie, my mom isnt nearly as strict
as most parents. Baba lets me smoke weed,
as long as its not effecting my health.
But she'd never be contented with the idea
of some drug distorting my mental psyche-

My ability to make my own decisions
was becoming rather challenged,
And I was absolutely sure my body
was rejecting the trip in every way.
But I decided sitting alone in my room
arguing with myself in my
mind wasn't going to get me anywhere.
I sat next to my brother who was
laughing and tripping in the bliss of LSD.
I tried to tell him something wasn't right.
But Baba walked in.

She told me to do the dishes,
which I somehow managed
considering I was holding in the
need to vomit.
I told her I had to take a shower,
that I was too cold.

I ran to the shower and turned it on.
I puked until I couldn't anymore.
I tried to get warm.
Again I tried to talk to myself.
Again, I tried to push down the sickness.
And it felt like a disease.

I was feeling very faint.
I was pale, and my pupils told the whole story.
The drug, it felt like waves of
disorienting nausea.
Not unlike waves in the sea.
Stronger than you'd expect.

I knew as the sickening feeling got stronger
that I couldn't possibly
keep it from Baba so I had to confess..
I spent the rest of the next eight hours or so,
drinking water
and puking.

Bright lights and noise would
make me gag, it seemed overwhelming
and much stronger than usual.
I wasn't expecting for the LSD to effect me
in such a sickening and disorienting way.

So that mess of a day was
my snow day on acid.
A little less than I expected..
Maybe im allergic?

 

Hrmmmmm... Interesting trip, this was off 1 hit?

 

thats real strange.. lsd is a drug that affects the mind., and shouldnt cause vomiting like that jeez,. cold sweats are normal.

i guess acid is not for you lol..

 

Puking on one hit of acid?

Maybe I'm just ignorant, (I've gotten quite physically sick on acid, but it was actual sickness, lasted nearly a week, and it mostly just killed the trip, which dulled off as I got to feeling worse) But I've never even heard of strong nausea on LSD.... Or puking all day long... Did the comeup time and overall duration match that of LSD? Are you sure it wasen't a phenethylamine?

*edit* ivebeenthere2, LSD IS a vasocontrictor and causes muscle tension, to varying degrees in different people, from not at all to reasonably strong. But if she's taken it without these effects, I would THINK that one of these times, it was a different chemical, or VERY different dose.

It is just possible that you weren't in the best starting set, and things went wrong, it's inevitable that this can happen with psychedelics, but it seems like it must have at least been very strong blotter if you where totally unable to regain control of the trip.

Also, wait till you're fucking older.... Or when you're older, you'll be too fucked in the head to enjoy drugs.

 

You probably threw up because of your paranoia. You shouldn't take lsd when your moms coming home,

this ----

= severe paranoia/anxiety = vomiting.

P.S. you must write poetry

 

Sorry for the bad pun, but it's pretty crazy how one teeeeny tiny bad thought can wiggle its way up into your brain and SNOWBALL into the hell trip of your life eh?

Which is more powerful - LSD... or your mind? These two combined? hmmm....

 

someday you'll look back at these times and know them as the good ol' days.

 

Haha, yeah Hannah. I'm sorry you didn't really have a good experience. I guess it just isn't right for you.

 

Lesson #38: Wash hands before handling acid.

 

Mmhmm.

 

You're right, i shouldn't have.
But I didn't think the fact that my mom
was coming home would alter my trip..
Considering,
the first time I tripped on acid,
it kicked in right as my mom and I
were school shopping at Wal Mart.
I got really paranoid then,
but i never got sick.

P.S. Yes, I do.

 

LSD is not like weed, i am sure you know this. You really ought to take set and setting into consideration. I still don't like going out in public(unless its a museum or concert, but shopping) and would never think of being around my parents when i was on any psychedelic.

I understand your situation may be a bit different than mine considering your age. Maybe it would be best to wait for a time when you know you will have a good 10-12 hours without anything to worry about. springtime in the woods perhaps?

 

LSD can cause violent vomiting. It usually only happens in anxious cases.

The lesson here is LSD isn't "some background shit" that you can "do other shit" on.

lmao ^

 

Well, I was definitely one of those cases.
Very well put.. :2thumbsup:

 

Hahahahahaha, thats what "micro-dosing" is for... If you must. lol

 

lmao Writer, can't rep but hahahahaha

I have puked from being too nervous before, sober, so I don't see why one wouldn't puke during an anxiety/panic attack on acid. I've had trips when I was first starting out (my very first trip ever, in particular) where I could feel it starting to go wrong, but the more I tried to calm myself and talk myself out of it, the more anxious it made me. Pulling yourself out of a bad trip is a skill you will acquire the more experience you have. One day it will just click and you will know more or less how to handle it from then on. I do recommend as others have said, to seriously take your set and setting into consideration and wait for a time when your parents won't be around. Good luck

 

you obviously took way too much, Doses are expiremental, too much of anything is bad.

This is your fault basically, Take it as a lesson

 

One little bitty blotter is too much?

 

The fact that you're comparing the size of the blotter to how much LSD you took means you obviously have a LOT of reading to do before taking any more drugs... Pot included.

You just seem to have decided that you're "open minded", which means you can ignorantly gobble up all the drugs you find. But you don't seem to be quite open minded enough to research them first or look at the potential long term effects of taking them, especially at your age, and when unprepared and/or in excess.

*edit* before you take uber offence, ignorant just means you have more to learn, by the way... it's not a character assessment.
