In highschool, I took LSD many times as a recreational drug until I ultimatly &#x27;pierced the veil&#x27; on a few trips, with unpleasent mental results, and no longer take it.  However, I know many people take LSD as a &#x27;fun drug&#x27; and not as a tool for introspection, and I&#x27;m writing this as a warning of what can happen in the wrong set and setting.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I hadn&#x27;t intended to trip on the day in question, but did so impulsively when someone offered me cheap geltabs.  They were purple, and literally as thick as a guitar pick.  I was unsure of how much to take, but ended up consuming 2-3 at around 11:00AM, figuring classes would be over (at 1:50) before the hardest part of the trip kicked in, and that I&#x27;d just skip my classes and wander around the campus/town anyway.  I shortly thereafter remembered that I had a doctors appointment at 4:30, and that my mother was going to pick me up at 5:00 (it was my senior year, but I believe my license was suspended at the time due to traffic tickets).  Based on what I&#x27;ve read, I&#x27;d put the dose at around 350 ug, but I have no real way of knowing.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
An hour or so later, I got the usual body-kick/giggly feeling, intensification of light, patterns, etc, but soon realized things were going to go bad.... I&#x27;d be walking through the halls hearing fragments of conversation, and my mind would weave them into conversations about me, my name being called etc, I remember at one point laughing and saying to no one, &#x27;THAT, is paranoia......&#x27;.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I got out of school, and decided (foolishly) that since pot usually has the effect of making me calm, it would calm me down enough to go to the doctors.  I had $40 on me that I had been intending to spend on pot, I think my plan was to by a 1/2oz bag for 50, but had spent $10 on the acid, I&#x27;m not sure.  So I went to the local park with a kid I knew, he was a heavy user of pot, and he agreed to help me around (I knew I was tripping too hard to walk around streets by myself) if I could give him a ride home, which I wasn&#x27;t sure I could do, but I didn&#x27;t feel that bad lying to him because I was really freaked out.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
There were 3 people in a car in the park with some really strong nuggets, they wanted $40/eigth, and it was hard to talk to them, I kept getting paranoid.  But I know I bought the bag and smoked a bowl with them and the person I was with, and really started to freak out..... I wandered around town (small town, just a crossroads, a strip of stores, etc) with him in a daze, at one point I really started to freak out and I said &#x27;I&#x27;m having a bad trip&#x27; and he just kept saying, &#x27;No, you&#x27;re not&#x27;, and that helped calm me down.  But we kept smoking pot until finally I was laying on the roof of a building, staring at the trees above me, and they broke up in 100 other things, nymphs, dryads, etc, in my mind..... but it wasn&#x27;t the sense of &#x27;being everything&#x27; (or alternately, just that &#x27;everything is one&#x27;) that psychedelic doses of LSD can bring, this was just everything being out of control, broken, and I couldn&#x27;t make sense of it..... 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
I remember being across the street from my school, and saying something about needing to get down off the roof, and my friend said, &#x27;don&#x27;t you know where we are?&#x27; and I said &#x27;yes, we&#x27;re on the roof of the pizza place&#x27;, and he said &#x27;no, look around, man, we left there a long time ago&#x27;, and I realized he was right, or at least that I believed him, my abilty to interpret visual perceptions was destroyed, I was totally lost in my head, paranoid, I didn&#x27;t even really know I was on a drug, I just knew I was lost and had to be back at the school at 4:30, I HAD to be there or else BAD THINGS would happen, I HAD to see my mother, it was like being lost at the mall when I was 5 and really scared and I just HAD TO FIND MY MOTHER because she could make it all right, except I knew it wasn&#x27;t like that at all, and it was all coming in so damn fast I could&#x27;t process it at all. 
&lt;br&gt;
 
&lt;br&gt;
We got in a van with a bunch of people and the remainder of the pot was passed around and smoked, I remmeber seeing road signs and not knowing what they really meant, but somewhere in the back of my head I knew I had to be back in front of my school at 4:30, and I got obsessed with this, and I kept asking &#x27;what time is it? What time is it?&#x27; and finally they got pissed and set all the clocks in the van to like 7PM, and I freaked out, but then we got back to the school, and a few minutes later my mother pulls up, and I manage to say &#x27;can we give (my friend) a ride home?&#x27; and she says, &#x27;no, you&#x27;re going to be late&#x27;, so I think he was pissed, he walked away, I got in the car and it was all weird and broken, I don&#x27;t really remember it all that clearly, and she thought I was stoned and was mildly irritated and said, &#x27;were you guys smoking pot?&#x27; and it seemed TOTALLY logical to say &#x27;no, I&#x27;m on acid&#x27;, and she got really pissed. 
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
At the doctors they ended up just having me sit in a dark room for an hour until I&#x27;d calmed down and was somewhat lucid again, and they decided I needed to be removed from classes for 2 months (got to do work at home, yay) because my judgement about taking drugs was bad, AND my parents made me pay for the doctor&#x27;s appointment, since it was pretty much a waste of money.
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
The moral here is, anyone can have a bad trip anytime, and yeah, at least at my HS there were a fair number of people who took low-to-mid dose LSD in school, but that doesn&#x27;t make it a good idea.  For some people this drug is a bad idea anytime, and I would very much recommend waiting until you&#x27;re at least 20 or so to really screw around with it, because hopefully by then you&#x27;ll be directed and independant enough to integrate the experience into your life.  I&#x27;ve had major problems integrating the psychedelic expirience with my life, I think I was bound to have problems with anxiety/disassociation, I don&#x27;t blame these personality traits on drugs, but I think LSD made them more visual in their nature.&lt;!-- End Body --&gt;
