In my second year at University, I was lucky enough to share a flat
|
|
with two of the greatest guys in the world (lets call them S and M).
|
|
We had all had our fair share of tripped-out experiences and were not
|
|
exactly newcomers to the psychedelic world.
|
|
One day in early November '94, circumstances caused me to have 5
|
|
strong tabs in my pocket (they were 'planets', i think). Anyway M and
|
|
I decided to have 3/4 each, you know, just to see. At the time we
|
|
were up in the arcade at our Student Union, playing Vitua-Racing and
|
|
Mortal-Kombat. After about 1/2 an hour we could feel ourselves coming
|
|
up, and started laughing at all the flashing lights. At that point S
|
|
arrived, and he took 1/2 of a tab, intending to take more later. M
|
|
and I were wandering about the arcade laughing in hysterics at
|
|
everything.
|
|
Eventually we came to leave, and on the way home, it really started
|
|
to hit M and I hard. We stopped outside a shop for munchies and S had
|
|
to go in for me because I could hardly speak. M was dancing about on
|
|
the pavement outside in full view of everybody, which caused me to
|
|
collapse in stitches outside the shop.
|
|
On the way back to the flat M and I wanted to go to the kid's
|
|
playground just down from our flat, so we ran about like a couple of
|
|
7 year olds. At this point S took us aside and claimed that he wasn't
|
|
getting anything, so he took another 1 tab and M and I took another
|
|
3/4. This was about 1 hour after we took the first so we weren't even
|
|
peaking off that yet.All three of us had now had one and a half tabs.
|
|
We made it back to the flat, and headed into S's room, and what
|
|
followed I have never experienced before or since.
|
|
We put on some music and I started to notice that I had no depth
|
|
perception at all. The whole world looked as if it was projected on
|
|
to the inside of a huge sphere that I was at the center of.
|
|
Everything looked exactly the same distance away.With no reference as to
|
|
where the walls ended, the posters (conveniently, colourful fractals)
|
|
started waving and throbbing and finally dribbling down the walls all
|
|
over the sofa that M was lying on.
|
|
At this point I was wondering if the others were as far gone as I
|
|
was, and (almost telepathically on cue) M stood up and announced to
|
|
both of us that he was 'quite violently tripping out of his nut'. At
|
|
this point I just remember a huge euphoric rush as the whole world
|
|
around me started swirling CONTROLLABLY. It is strange the way your
|
|
concept of the 'whole world' changes. It wasnt just visual swirling,
|
|
but concepts, perceptions, context and meaning were suddenly
|
|
displaced into this vortex that I had complete control over.
|
|
Sensing a lack of communication, S, by now also out of his tits,
|
|
started his usual brand of light conversation. In about 5 minutes the
|
|
conversation had turned into intense philosophical discussion. With 3
|
|
intelligent people in the room discussing the future of everything,
|
|
ideas were bouncing back and forth at a furious pace. Suddenly,
|
|
nothing outside the room, or even inside the room, bar the 3 of
|
|
us,mattered. I remember this incredible sense of purpose, destiny and
|
|
above all unity, not only with S and M, but with the whole universe.
|
|
|
|
At this point, M's girlfriend arrived and then the trip degenerated
|
|
into farce, as we were unable to perform simple tasks without
|
|
assistance ( I remember her feeding M because he couldnt remember how
|
|
to use a fork!)
|
|
We went out that night, still out of it, and I remember dancing to
|
|
the Stone Roses and feeling better than I had in my whole life.
|
|
|
|
Just one more thing...
|
|
|
|
There is nothing to fear except fear itself.
