The Drug 2C-B is by far the most intense drug I have ever taken. I've had my roller coaster ride into the psychotropics for quite some time.

One day I was talking to my friend Mohawk at the local coffee shop, jibba jabberin on the topic of Club Drugs. Usually the drug is in capsule or Powder form. This Shit said the 2C-B was in Liquid Form. The substance smelled faintly of alcohol but tasted like water, with an almost syrupy texture. My friend Hippie Bastard Ingested some the day before and had sublimal trip. No one has ever heard of this drug in North Texas, so we named it Holy Water.

Needless to say we got the shit, packed our bags and headed to the Madness that is Spring Bring Break 2005. We were camped out on the north End of the Beach where camping is free. First Re-upted on Cocaine and Schwag in Castroville, Got Lost in Laredo and accidently lit a blunt as we were pulling up to a Border Patrol check point! We were lucky we made it in one piece.

The next morning I ingested the 2C-B along with a gallon of Sunny D and endless bowls of SuperFrost Bud. Now the whole idea was to trip and have a journey into the salt flats on the bayside (where the water is 3 inches deep for miles). This particuliar trip was sentimental to me, for I had tripped mescaline on the exact day, same spot a year earlier. A sign indicated to me that Karma was on my side. I found a Tag from a pair of pants that said 'Life is but a Breeze.' The weather was cloudy, but there was a Light breeze in the wind. No Sunshine in sight.

This is where the Trip began. Me and Hippie Bastard were tripping as well as my good friend BobbyCakes (who was sober). As the onset became more intense We proceeded to hop the sand dunes barefoot. I felt that the earth sensations on my feet were quite stimulating, the organicness of the salt flats. At this point I was tripping pretty intensly, feeling way more mescaline than The Roll feeling. As propostorous as this way sound, I was controlling the weather! I would concentrate with the utmost intensity and the wind would literaly Pick up 6 Notches. I did it about 15 times in a row, scaring the shit out of Bobbycakes who felt the wind pick up and so did Hippie Bastard. I find this aspect of the trip fascinating. And while yet I can't rationaly explain this supernatural phenenomenon, I felt its prescence as I harnessed the energy.

As we progressed further into the trip we noticed footprints that were the size of shaquille oneal and had the longest stride I've ever seen. The footprints grew progressively smaller until they became the size of baby steps which led to an abandoned trailer. What was weird about this is we felt the impressions in the sand and the footprints were no hallucination. We felt the impressions with our bare hands. More Supernatural Shit.

Finally we got to the bay. This was the best part of the trip. The Water is inches deep for miles on out. I could feel the power of the wind filter into my brain as it filtered through my nerves. I was thoroughly convinced I had cheated in reaching G.O.D status. I felt like Apollo l as I created Elaborate thunderstorms miles in the distance. I was feeling destructive. This lasted for quite some time. We made energy balls and generally had a great time.

As hours went by, the wind was picking up more and more as the drug kept getting more intense. It was symbolic that the weather was picking up as the intensity of the drug heightened. Its kinda like if you cant handle such power it consumes you (think AKIRA). The intensity didnt stop, I almost got to a mental breaking point. I could feel my brain bleeding. But Hippy Bastard calmed me down, but I Rode this tsunami sonofabitch for all it was worth.

After about 6 hours of tripping I finally started to come down. As I sat on top of the highest dune looking at the bayside smoking a blunt, I noticed a water buffalo or an ox streaking across the salt flats. My spirit animal. This is so because my birthday is in 1985, Year of the Ox in the chinese calender. At that point I felt utter content with my life and my existence, my direction in life,etc.

The crash reminded me of cocaine, Runny Nose, Teeth Grinding, and General shittiness. But I took a multi vitamin and ate some sanwhiches and I was fine.
