I am 'A Responsible Adult' nowawadays, but it's no secret that I never met a drug I didn't like
Shrooms were OK I guess - took a bunch once at a party in an old gothic vicarage - the cellar had those pillars - had a mild panic attack when police sirens sounded nearby, broke through a window and jumped over the nearest wall to hide. It was a graveyard... not the best place to reflect on the nature of existence for the next hour or two...
LSD was much more fun - I never believed visual hallucinations were an actual real thing... until I started having them LOL. Top 3 - and I SWEAR to the below, no matter how ridiculous or unbelievable they sound - I have no reason to lie here
1 Laid in bed (low to the floor) - look across to the door, and that little pale baby mouse (from Tom and Jerry) walked into the room wearing a folded paper hat - got so far in, turned on his heels, and walked out. Clearly some sort of replay of something I'd seen as a child. I jumped out of bed laughing my ass off to chase the little fella, and was sad that he'd disappeared...
2 Middle of a night club dance floor. Suddenly realised everyone's face was like a ventriloquist's dummy - lines either side of the mouth, painted eyes, frozen features, etc...
3 This was the strongest one - also in the middle of a dance floor, and hard to describe - anyone I looked straight at, their eyes were closed, but EVERYONE else around me had massively oversized eyes and were staring at me - leaning forward in some cases. I could only see this in my peripheral vision, and as I swept around the room I could see peoples eyes slowly open and close depending on if I was looking at them - trippy, but I knew it was the drugs, so I was able to 'enjoy' the effect until it wore off (being served at the bar by someone with their eyes closed was the highlight)
The last two are clearly connected in some way - I must have deactivated some part of my brain that processed facial features/signals, or something...
Oh - and while I'm over-sharing I have a ketamine story:
Partying in London, I hit two massive lines of what I thought was coke... if you've ever been in an accident, you'll know that 'time slowing down' thing is real - I've rolled across a car bonnet once in a motor bike accident. Well we were crossing the Thames on a bridge at 3am when the sh1t kicked in, and I slowed to something like 1/30th speed for a few paces, including my speech. Afterwards I asked if I'd sounded OK, and apparently I came across fine... it was years before the Matrix, but when I saw that film it reminded me of that slo-mo experience
My friend took some of that same sh1t, and his vision inverted for 30 minutes! That caused some panic....
Kids - listen to Rowdy Roddy on this one
