It was overwhelming Jim. I definitely ate too much. I was given an 1/8'th, and ate about half of the baggy at first. An hour went by, everyone else was tripping, and I was just sitting there with a shit taste in my mouth. I said fuck it, and ate the rest of the bag. No sooner did I get that down when the first wave hit me. It was enjoyable for about an hour, I laughed my ass off for no reason, but then the visuals and shit started coming and I didn't move off the couch I was planted on for the rest of the night. It seemed like an eternity!
I am forever thankful that we stayed in and didn't go out to a bar or some shit. I don't know what I would have done. Probably would have been curled up in the fetal position on a pool table or something.
I'm glad I tried them, because it was truly amazing what it does to your brain. I had no idea that the human brain was capable of such fuckery. Not sure I would ever do them again though. It was just too overwhelming for me.
In a "black" Irish style of humor, I found you story funny. Sorry.
No, really I empathize with you. The 1st time I tripped I was 16 I did exactly the same thing as you, only with me it was LSD. and some serious acid called Orange Sunshine (all u old hippies know what it is).
Wasn't working, so eat a little more, Yea, good idea.
I had no idea what LSD was like, and how can you explain it anyway to someone that hasn't tripped.
But, anyway I ended getting home at 5:30 AM on a Saturday morning, still tripping my ass off, to a pissed off Irish father, who turned into a lizard in front of my eyes (no shit, I'll remember it forever)
So, he is ready to beat the fuck out of me, and my mother jumps between us (she was a Meddusa at this point), and saves me.
I go to my room, pass out on the bed, and like an hour later get woken up by the lizard to go to church (Irish Catholic).
I go to church, still tripping, and let me tell you something, being stoned on acid on a Sunday morning attending mass, with all the stained glass and priests wearing robes and candles and incense, sitting between a fucking lizard (Da) on one side, and a Medusa (Ma),on the other isn't fun.
But looking back, it was some pretty funny shit.
Point of the story, is to be carefull on the amount, without knowing the quality of the product.
