Acid Trip Led to Friend Threatening to Stab Me

Bit of background first: I'm a university student in the UK and my friend came to my city to visit for a day and we decided to do acid. We had both done acid before, although I have more experience with acid and drugs in general.

Our first mistake was taking acid at 5pm, we wanted to do it earlier in the day but couldn't due to my friend arriving late. After taking the tabs (around 150ug) we went for a walk in a park close to my university accommodation. We chilled there until we had properly came up. It felt great. We were hysterically laughing at each other's jokes and admiring the nature around us, it was a great time. For some reason we decide to head to a popular landmark across the city, not wanting to take the train out of fear of being too close to random people, we take the ferry down the river.

The ferry ride is trippy as hell, at times we can't tell if we're moving or not and we have an interesting conversation here, but we eventually feel nauseated by the movement and decide to get off at the next stop.

After leaving the boat we end up at a different large landmark, a large tower/castle. We hang here for a bit, admiring the size of the castle. At this point it is about 7pm and dark. The area we were in was generally pretty safe but we decide to head back to my accommodation anyway, as we were getting worried about being mugged/ caught by police etc.

We attempt to take the train back to my accomodation, it is usually about a half an hour journey but we manage to get lost in a train station in my city notorious for being confusing, at this point we had fully peaked and had nearly no idea what was going on; my friend had entered this weird docile, confused state where he basically just slowly followed me around, occasionally muttering to himself. He wouldn't speak to me, which freaked me out.

After a few mishaps we finally find the train. As soon as we get on the train, my friend starts shouting "food" at me. I ask him what the fuck he's doing and tell him to calm down. He doesn't. I literally drag him off the train because everyone was staring at us and I wait with him on the platform for the next one, trying to convince him to be quiet when we get on the train, as not to make it obvious we're on acid.

He kind of holds it together for the train ride back, he makes a few weird hand gestures at people but we manage to make it back to my accommodation without much issue. At this point he hadn't spoken to me in a couple of hours, instead choosing to communicate via hand gestures that made no sense. He kind of had me convinced that speaking wasn't something humans usually do, and *I* was the weird one for speaking.

We lie down in my room for about half an hour, when he suddenly gets up and starts saying some nonsensical shit, I can tell he's a lot higher than I am because he seemed to have forgotten his name, and the fact he had even taken acid at all. He stands over me as I lie on my bed and he starts randomly insulting me; stuff like "you have no friends " and "I'm better than you". I don't pay too much mind because he was high out of his mind.

I sit there talking to him for about 30 minutes when he starts shouting random stuff about how random things are connected or some shit, I tell him to shut up because it was about 10pm at this point and my flatmates didn't know we were on acid, and I didn't want to disturb them. He quiets down a bit but then tries to go for the door, I ask him to stay inside because I had no idea of what he was going to do when he left my room, and I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of him disturbing my roommates, as I didn't want them to know I did acid. He complies and lies back down saying random shit again.

Nothing of note happens for a little while, before he goes for the door again and makes it halfway out of my room, I go to grab him and wrestle him back in and he tries to fight me off, I tell him we agreed to stay in my room as to not disturb my roommates, he then looks at me and says he wants to fuck (name of female roommate he hasn't even met) and tries struggling to get into the hallway again. I'm easily several times stronger than him as I've been bodybuilding for 2 years and he's 25kg lighter than me, I tell him to shut the fuck up and shove him back in.

He then picks up the pair of pretty blunt scissors we used to cut the tab in half and approaches me with them. He's pretty uncoordinated and I doubt he was gonna stab me or anything but I was panicking as I was still tripping pretty hard at this point. I grab the scissors out of his hand and push him onto the bed, I stand by the door for literally 1.5 hours (I was checking my watch the entire time) so he can't run into the hallway, as he stands there begging me to let him out.

Honestly at this point I was ready to punch the cunt and I had no issue with kicking him out into the street, but I didn't do this as he'd probably end up in trouble if he were outside in the psychotic state he was in. He then opens my window and threatens to jump out. I'll shamefully admit I had no real issue with him jumping at this stage as he had threatened to rape my roommate and threatened me with scissors, but I manage to calm him down a bit and he starts listening to music.

We listen to music for about 3 hours, he unsuccessfully tries to escape a couple of times. I was mostly sober at this point. He lies there muttering to himself as he slowly regains sobriety. He says he doesn't remember any of his actions when he was high, which I believe, as I have forgotten my actions a few times on acid. But I can't help but feel like this has damaged our friendship. This trip was also very traumatic for me, being threatened with scissors, having to fight my friend back into the room, thinking he was going to jump out of my third story window, all while tripping pretty hard. I had to trip sit someone undergoing a psychotic episode while I was also on acid. I can't stop thinking about my panic and fear when he came at me with scissors in his hands, and I can't stop feeling disgusted with myself because I was honestly cool with this guy jumping out of the window.

I'll admit that the setting wasn't the greatest, and being confined in one space while you're going through a confusing trip must be terrifying but, I don't know. I'm not sure to what extent I can hold him accountable for what he did and said, but I do feel some measure of animosity toward him now. I'm never tripping with other people again.
