DOSE:
.5 joints/cigs smoked Cannabis (plant material)
BODY WEIGHT: 200 lb
[Erowid Note: Some authors report suspicions that their cannabis has been 'laced' (adulterated), in some cases, presumably with PCP. While this is possible, readers should be aware that idiosyncratic response to the effects of cannabis (usually higher doses) can lead some users to presume their cannabis has been 'laced'. There is no way to know if the cannabis in the report below was adulterated or not. Reports of plant material and cannabis laced with powerful synthetic cannabinoids and other psychoactive substances became more common starting in 2007.]
A friend and I left school to my house to smoke. He had his weed and I had mine, and we did a little mixin' and matching. We spent an hour smoking and went back to school for class.

I was driving on the highway and then it hit me. Really hard. The car ahead of me suddenly disappeared into the horizon and my hands were about 30 feet away. My eyes were nearly shut from going 70 mph. I felt an unbelievable amount of pressure on my body, like the G-forces that the Astronauts feel. Music made it worse, and speed increased how far my perception skewed. Anyway, with some help from my friend, we got back into school. And man everything was just fucked.

As I got out of the car, I noticed that everything had a single color to it. It looked a lot like 'Waking Life', or the cut out filter on Photoshop. Skins had a single color and there wasn't a gradient of change in color on anything. Well, it was worse in the hallway. People seemed to materialize out of thin air and they were moving independently of the background. The best way to show this is taking two pictures, one of a background and one of an object in the foreground, and moving them out of sync and out of time with each other. People were floating in mid air. If I focused on a spot long enough it would magnify and get large. Class was hard because I thought I was going to run into a wall, and my teachers head was elongating and floating around.

I came down and everything was fine. Everyone so far, believes it to be laced, either with PCP or something else. I've smoked pot before and never had any effects, so this was a real scary thing for me. I ended up giving away all my pipes and pot because I didn't want to have that kind of experience any more.
