I had my first trip in a little over three years on New Year's eve. I
|
|
used to trip a lot, in high school and my first few years of college.
|
|
There were two main reasons why I hadn't tripped for so long: 1) about
|
|
three years ago I had some bad life experiences that left me severely
|
|
depressed, fucked up and isolated and for a while I was just trying to get
|
|
my head back together to the point of dealing with daily life. I didn't
|
|
really do any drugs for about 6 months, I was up and down all the time
|
|
without them. 2) after my mental scene was better, my social scene was
|
|
much different then it had been before. I was no longer friends with my
|
|
old druggie crowd. I started smoking grass again, occasionally, and
|
|
thought that I would maybe do psychedelics again if the opportunity ever
|
|
came again. But I didn't ever see it around.
|
|
|
|
So I was at this cool party on New Year's eve, and this weird dude with a
|
|
nosering and a hockey shirt showed up and started handing out shrooms to
|
|
everybody. I don't think I took much, just pinched some out of his bag
|
|
and chowed 'em. Maybe a gram, it seemed. I had been drinking and smoking
|
|
for a few hours already, and didn't expect to get off all so much.
|
|
|
|
A while later I noticed that the whole organization of the party had
|
|
changed, from everybody partying in one big room to lots of little groups
|
|
spread around the place. I realized that I was starting to tweak a little
|
|
and attributed other's actions to the shrooms as well. I became much more
|
|
concious of my voice, everything I said echoing back so many possible
|
|
meanings. I felt some twinges of panic and had to get away for a bit. I
|
|
went down to the basement and tried to collect my thoughts. I didn't want
|
|
to fall into any "mind traps" and it didn't take me too long to cool out
|
|
and go back up to the party. It made me remember how, many times while
|
|
tripping, I have to cross a fuzzy, awkward stage before the trip fully
|
|
takes overand I feel the enlightening effects.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the night was a blast, mostly spent listening to music in
|
|
different people's bedrooms. Crazy shit...Ravi Shankar, Coltrane,
|
|
Stravinsky. Had many deep thoughts and felt very good about myself.
|
|
Laughed a lot and made some good bonds with people, I think. In the end,
|
|
remembered how much fun it was to trip. Gotta do it again soon!!
