I&#x27;m someone who will take pretty much any drug or combination thereof. I don&#x27;t buy into the kind of propaganda that follows the lines of &#x27;substance X will ruin your life in this specific way regardless of anything else.&#x27; Some drugs are worse than others, sure, but I&#x27;ve done the &#x27;big three&#x27; - heroin, crack, meth - and although I&#x27;ve gotten into some terrible situations I&#x27;ve never become a stereotypical down and out addict staggering around with a can of special brew and asking strangers for 28p for the bus at all hours of the day. Nor do I entirely buy into the idea that drugs can act as a catalyst to mental illness. These things certainly happen, but they aren&#x27;t set in stone.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
What I have had are some awful acute experiences. Blowing nearly £700 on cocaine in a couple of weeks. Necking handfuls of xanax and coming to a few days later with no recollection of the interim. These things are horrible, and they make me reconsider my drug use, but they didn&#x27;t profoundly alter my life like in the dubious stories you hear about - &#x27;my uncle&#x27;s friend tripped on acid 20 years ago and he still thinks he&#x27;s a glass of orange juice!&#x27;. Well, I haven&#x27;t lost all functionality after this experience a few weeks ago, but it has left me with profound psychological damage.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
The night started at home. Snorting line after line of quality coke on my own. In retrospect, that in itself is indicative of huge problems. For whatever reason, I was not feeling high. I felt like I was on speed, not coke. So I did more and more and more, until finally I ate my last .3 grams. Note that this was over the course of 6 or 7 hours, so although I was in a pretty bad state I was not close to death.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
Even though I was still lacking euphoria, I was incredibly high to the point of psychosis. I convinced myself that the police were aware of what I was doing, that they were outside ready to arrest me. I tested this theory by throwing a few legal substances out of my window. Nothing happened. Obviously they were just trying to put me at ease. So I tentatively step outside. I see a black SUV parked up the street that I could not remember seeing before. I looked up the registration plate. Wow, it&#x27;s done a lot of miles ... it&#x27;s an undercover cop car! I&#x27;m going to prison! So I dash back inside. I have a stash of drugs. The only thing I want to do is get rid of them. But how? I can&#x27;t burn them because the police would surely burst in and arrest me. So I decide to wrap them up into paper and walk down to the river and throw them. I walk out of the door with tons of ketamine, speed, LSD in my mouth and an eighth of trainwreck in my pocket. Shit! I can hear a police helicopter. FUCK! That&#x27;s a police van in that alley! (I later realised it was a delivery truck; note that it was around 4AM at this time). 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I would have looked so high and sketchy at this point that I would have been arrested on the spot if a police officer passed me (I reasoned). And why waste drugs? So I suck out everything from the paper in my mouth then chew and swallow the paper. I take the 3.5 grams of weed out of my pocket and eat it. Then I wonder around disposing of drug-related paraphernalia.  
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
After 10 minutes, I start feeling it. I can&#x27;t remember exactly how it felt, but mainly a stimulant effect. My heart was getting faster and faster and faster. I genuinely thought I would die. I ran over to a taxi and paid him generously to take me to A&amp;amp;E. I get in and start shouting at them about everything I&#x27;ve taken, convinced I was dying. The staff and patients look at me like the pathetic human being that I am. I refuse to give them my name for a while. Eventually I do, they take me to a bed and hook me up to some sort of monitor.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
This is where my journey to hell began. Everything kicked in fully. I was completely psychotic, entering a nightmare hell that I would not leave for 10 hours. I could feel my heart going faster and faster and faster, faster than a hummingbird. I heard what I assumed was a heart rate monitor beeping erratically. I knew I was dying. I started shouting at everyone in the room (doctor, nurses, some other patients) to please look at me and if I was going to die just give me a sign. This went on for what seemed like an eternity. I then thought I was dying at that very moment. I somehow convinced myself that depending on my last words I would go to heaven or hell (note that I am not normally a religious person). Eventually, a security guard came over. He waved at me, and I took this as a sign that I had really and truly just died. I thought I was dead. I thought I was in hell. Some more nurses came and moved me to another ward. They talked to me, and I was expecting some horrendous torture to start at any point. I was looking out of the window at my hometown which I knew well and I thought it was all some hellish copy. My mother came to visit me and I thought she was simply a copy of my real mother, a citizen of Hell. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. I tried to get up and leave and was forcefully carried back to the bed. I couldn&#x27;t sleep, but I just lied down completely hopeless and preparing myself for the real hell to start.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
This carried on for a few hours. There was no real resolution, no sudden moment of sober clarity. Eventually they told me I could leave, and I walked back home. I laid down and slept for about 12 hours. I woke up and still thought I was in hell. The belief slowly dissipated over the next few days, but it comes back every single time I do LSD. I am not the same person I was before then.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
As to how much danger I was in of physical death or other problems, I don&#x27;t know. But mentally, that was the worst experience of my life. And it&#x27;s not a particularly uncommon one.&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
