I've done tons of drugs and had great experiences. But I never encountered a drug that completely took over. With LSD I really did meet my match.

After hanging out with friends for the day, a friend said he was going to get 2 tabs of acid for himself. I'd never done it before, nor did I really know anyone who sold it, so I figured this was my chance. Since he was getting 2 tabs, I figured 1 would be enough for me. I was a little worried it wouldn't work.

After picking up from a sketchy friend of his, we left and headed to Taco Bell. I put the tab on my tongue like he said and let it dissolve. This ended up taking forever. After 20 minutes, the tab still hadn't broke up completely yet and I was getting tired of waiting. Within the first 5 minutes, I felt tingling on my tongue. Almost like the feeling of popping a breath mint, but not tasty at all. After 20 minutes of letting it sit on my tongue, I swallowed it.

I took a sip of my drink and cringed. It tasted like I was drinking Windex. Thinking it was the drink, I took a bite of my taco. Same thing. My mouth was stuck with this horrible metallic taste that wouldn't go away. Anything I put in my mouth tasted repulsive, even water. This feeling lasted about an hour or so.

We get home and my friend and I are walking up the street to our friend's house. All of the sudden, I get the giggles. I walked up the street but my friend was laughing at my for walking so slowly. I couldn't help it but I laughed with him anyway. I felt a sense of happiness rush over me. Not necessarily euphoria, but definitely a sense of well being. My heart was beating faster and I could sense it. When we get to my friend's house, I couldn't stop laughing. Everything and anything was funny.

They were sitting in the driveway and decided to ride scooters around. I got on one and tried to glide down the driveway. This ended up terrifying me. I couldn't bear to be off the ground in any way. My friends tried to scare me by pretending to run into me with the scooter. This scared me way more than it should've. I laughed and told them to stop and when they wouldn't, I threw a cup of ice at my friend, making them both laugh.

At this point it has been over an hour since I took the tab and everything went downhill. My heart started beating even faster and I felt extreme discomfort. Everything around me was hostile and I just wanted to be alone. My friends weren't on acid so they decided to try to scare me even further by chasing me and laughing in my ear (one of my friends has a really creepy laugh). I nearly cried at that point. When they would stop, I would laugh, but it would be more of a hysteria laugh than a 'funny' one. I couldn't control anything.

I sat down in the backyard for a few minutes by myself. I felt extreme paranoia. I felt like I was being watched and the feeling wouldn't go away. When my friends came back, they bothered me even more. One wore a gas mask and screamed in my face while the other did his creepy laugh. I started crying. I was terrified and they wouldn't stop. Acid made it all feel so real and I felt like I was actually in danger and there was no one to help. They recorded me on an iPad for shits and giggles, but I had to ask them to stop because I felt like someone was watching...again with the paranoia.

We decided to head to a local plaza to get Starbucks. The car ride was horrific. They blasted dubstep music and had all the windows down, and the bass up high. The music had some demonic voice over in the beginning which made me scream and shut my eyes tight while I tried to cover my ears. When we parked, I nearly jumped out the car. I needed to get out. I couldn't spend another minute in there.

Every time they scared me, I screamed and would run away in an attempt to lower my heart rate. I could feel it in my chest, thumping hard. I was afraid if they kept on scaring me I'd have a heart attack. When we walked through the plaza, there were several restaurants with outdoor seating. I felt like everyone was talking about me. I kept my eyes on the ground and couldn't look at anyone. The chatter consumed my mind and I was afraid. Anyone who glanced at me made me extremely nervous and on the brink of tears. I couldn't handle it. I sat on a bench and tried to relax. When my friends tried to sit next to me I screamed at them to leave me alone. They terrified me.

The ground was moving and rolling, almost like waves. I had no sense of reality or anything. Whatever scared me was real and nothing could comfort me. My friends realized they were being jerks and decided to stop. It had been about 2.5 hours since I took the tab. Things started to come back together. I started to regain control, but slowly. I tried to keep telling myself that my mind was just playing games with me.

30 minutes later, the trip was gone. I felt fine, and if anything, I felt like I understood everything around me a little better. The trip itself was horrifying, thanks to my not so funny friends. My first trip now has left a really bad memory. I thought I would be happy and see shapes and colors. Boy, was I wrong. It felt like I was in a horror movie, except it felt 100% real. I felt like I was fighting for my life and I couldn't turn to anyone. I felt trapped.

Next time, I'm going to mellow out and listen to some music alone. I cannot handle another acid trip with friends. It was the worst day of my life. Thankfully, it was only about 3 hours. In that 3 hours, I felt like I was dying. My heart raced faster than ever, and not in an adrenaline way. It was so bad that sometimes my crying sounded like laughing, because I was breathing so quickly. Next time, I'm going to be way more prepared. I was with 3 friends. One took 2 tabs, but didn't feel anything while I was tripping (it ended up hitting him later), and the other two were completely sober.
