I’ve never seen someone react to LSD like this before.
My boyfriend and I took two tabs of acid each and what started out as a good trip for the both of us ended up being a disaster for him. At first we were hanging out at my apartment and listened to an album of amazing music that his friend made. It was beautiful.
I’ve tripped with him 7 or 8 Times, every time prior to this has ranged from a nice time to probably the best night of my life.
I live close to my campus, we had tripped in the arboretum on my campus before and had a wonderful time then so we decided to walk there.
From here on the circumstances were terrible for the mind state we were in. We expected a quiet night on campus but come to find that there was a big football game the next day so the campus was buzzing with people. Students everywhere, my school’s logo plastered on every wall it could go, tv cameras, pathways blocked off. It was a nightmare for people paranoid and tripping.
Here is when he started acting strangely, he started repeating things over and over. I was feeling so uncomfortable and all I wanted to do was make it to the other side of campus where there weren’t people everywhere.
We get about halfway there and he sits down in a patch of grass. It’s next to a pathway where people are passing by occasionally and there is a bright fluorescent light shining on the patch. I try to persuade him to keep going, we were almost to the arboretum and I wanted to get away from the people and ugly light. He would not move.
This part is what I’m confused about. He was laying on the ground and no matter what I said or did he would repeat the same things. Something along the lines of “this is the greatest thing that ever happened to me” though that sounds positive, the way he said it wasn’t. And if I tried to get him to keep going with me he would say “I can’t move, I’m going to make this moment last FOREVER” This was annoying to say the least. Luckily I was aware enough to not freak out myself.
I was trying anything to get him out of this state. I started with begging and crying for him to walk with me somewhere where there wasn’t this bright light, when his response was his repeated phrases I knew there was no hope trying to move. I played some music and sat next to him trying to pass the time. I gave him a clementine thinking it would do something, he took it from my hand and took a bite out of it, skin and all. I try to look into his eyes and find something there but all I got was him making weird ugly faces at me.
Eventually he started saying “all I do is drink and piss!” And later “I am the ocean” and proceeded to urinate on himself. Though that’s kind of funny looking back, as you can imagine it was not a fun situation for me. At this point he is sort of meandering in circles and making noise and yelling. People around are confused.
I decided to call our friend to help me. After lots of persuading, we get him moving and go back home. I ask if he wants to shower and he refuses as stubbornly as he refused to move before. After he pees on himself again and continues to act weird I put on music until he calms down. After a while he comes down and puts the soiled sheets in the laundry. He says “please forgive me” and I know he is back to himself.
I’m sorry for the longevity. It was such a strange experience for me. This didn’t seem like a normal bad trip where you are in a negative mind state. He seemed to completely lose himself.
Does anyone have similar experience? Or insights into what exactly happened?
