During the summer my parents had left for a week of vacation to a not-so-distant place, taking my younger brother (15) along with them but leaving me behind. I knew about this vacation well in advance which allowed me to plan for a week of chilling with all my friends from home and from college. The highlight of the week was suppose to happen on Wednesday by taking mushrooms and tripping out all day. Despite all of our planning come Wednesday we still had not acquired the shrooms which we were planning on taking around 10 a.m. Nevertheless, we were dead set on tripping considering we had been looking forward to this day for months in advance.

A long and stressful story short we were able to obtain 8 grams of shrooms and 3 tabs of acid but it took a two hour drive to do so. There were 5 of us tripping and only the person who drove to get the drugs had taken LSD before. The general consensus was that everyone wanted to take the shrooms and nobody wanted to take the acid but there was not enough shrooms for everyone to have and trip sack. Someone had the bright idea that we should decide by drawing names out of a hat. Eventually two people had volunteered to take the acid but we were at a standstill again. I decided that if I felt like I was forced to take the acid that it would make me have a bad trip, also I figured that I was the host so I needed to step up and take the last tab.

After everything was said and done we ended up taking the tabs at 6 p.m. and the two people who took the shrooms only wanted 2gs each so that left the rest of the 3gs to split up between the three of us who opted for the acid. Initially I was intimidated by the LSD so I decided to split up the tab in half and eat my portion of the shrooms. After an hour I was feeling very goofy and everyone was having a blast which prompted me to take the other half of the tab.

There were 7 of us total which meant we had two trip sitters who were planning on drinking all night. I am very fortunate to have an open field of space where nobody would bother us so we decided that it would be a great idea to chill outside until it got dark out. I wanted to make dinner for everyone before I started tripping too hard. I had gotten hotdogs and hamburgers which I needed to grill up. I was beginning to feel my thoughts becoming jumbled up in my head but I was mostly still coherent so I said, “I’ll be fine” when asked if I needed help with the grill. Once I threw the paddies on the grill the grease caused the flame to jump up and this is when I really started to trip. The flame seemed to explode from the grill increasing the heat on my face to the point in which I thought I burnt my eyebrows off. After the initial scare everything went fine and I managed to cook a nice little feast for all the boys which I felt very proud about.

Over dinner people every so often would quote Spongebob and say, “are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?” which everyone died laughing at every time. After dinner, which to me was hard to put down because my appetite was suppressed, we squad-ed out and headed towards the beach. Upon arrival it felt as if I was walking into a new level of a video game, a completely new environment called Sand World. The sand felt so amazing to walk on and it seemed as if I could feel each individual grain of sand in between my toes. We stayed out on the beach until it got dark out. There are islands across the ocean from the beach and the lights on the islands were so brilliant and flashing all sorts of colors. I stepped into the ocean and could feel the entire earth breathing as the waves would roll up and out from the sand.

After chilling on the beach for a while our feet began to get cold so we decided to head back to the house. The walk back from the beach was very interesting because it was completely dark out and the field we were walking through is about 350 yards long. I was seeing big flashes of light which made me think someone was taking pictures of us or that an UFO was landing. When we neared my yard a friend who was not tripping but very drunk walked out of the woods with his shirt covering his head like a mask. To me it looked like someone who was a burn victim which was very disturbing imagery. He is a big and physically intimidating person but he was not saying anything at all even when we tried to talk to him. He scared the fuck out of everyone in the group. After about 5 min of trying to talk to him he finally casually took of the shirt and said “yo whats up”. It was a very scary experience at the time but looking back now it was a pretty funny joke as to mess with us.

We set up a fire and rolled up some joints that were passed around the circle. After smoking my visuals were significantly increased and I felt like I was just staring at the flames dancing back and forth for at least 5 hours but really it was more like an hour and a half. The most distinct visual I saw was when my buddy pointed at some embers and said “Do you guys see it?! Right there it looks like a cartoon dog smoking a cigar.” Everyone looked over to where he was pointing and it really did look like an old cartoon bulldog with a top hat smoking a cigar. Once the fire died down and we were sure it was contained inside the pit we headed inside to watch some TV and relax on the couch.

Once we were inside I got a call from my mother which really begun to freak me out and she said that my brother was coming home early meaning he was coming home tonight. My brother is 5 years younger than me and I do not know what his experiences with drugs are but I never want to be a bad influence on him. I was concerned but my friends calmed me down by reminding me how cool of a kid he is which is very true. He arrived home and then we proceeded to chill, I never explicitly told him what was going on but a couple of the trippers very audibly said, “Oh man I’m tripping so hard right now” throughout the night.

We decided to watch Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson because of the trippy nature surrounding the universe. Once the
show started and Neil started talking, my brother said, “take us away Neil!” and everyone laughed very hard at this which really eased my nerves about the situation. The two memories I have about chilling on the couch is that Neil explaining science reminded me tremendously of a priest preaching religion. It all seemed like speculation which relied heavily on me just taking someone’s word for truth. The other thing I remember is melting into the couch and at one point I was convinced there was no point where I ended and the couch began, I was one with the cushions.

Much more happened during this day and the night but I just wanted to say the big events that made up the narrative and tried to leave a lot of the smaller interactions out. These smaller interactions are what really make up a trip though, it is hard to describe. I was getting paranoid because the only people that were awake at around 3 am were the kids who took the sid. We were chilling in the living room and I really did not like the vibes because there are a lot of windows without any blinds so it would be very easy for someone to look in at use without us seeing anything. I told the dude I was tired, which was true, and was going to go to sleep.

That is not what happened, I went into my bedroom and since I gave away my bed to a friend I attempted to sleep on my love chair. I thought I was done tripping but I was very mistaken and tripped for another 3 hours in the chair by myself. This is the closest thing to a bad trip I have had but I was not awful because I was in control and really learned a lot about myself during this time. I was getting very intense CEVs which to me looked like an infinite number of Egyptian pyramids with skulls and eyeballs mixed into the the sea on colors and geometric patterns. This was the most intense part of the trip but I really made me find a greater respect for psychedelics and the possibility of different dimensions and gods and my relationship to reality.
