Having enjoyed that so much and my NN Vape running out I decided to try out 5MEO. I read that they are different and 5MEO is more intense but I wasn't ready for what happened.
I set about to get my 3 hits in, having mastered NN previously. I took my first hit, I drew and drew, unsure if the vape was even working. I was trying a new source and the suspension was different.
When I stopped pulling on the vape I held it ready to take my next hit once I felt the first effects. What happened next I could not have predicted. The sudden intensity and onset took me by surprise. I put down the vape and laid down on my bed, knowing I have some time alone to ride this out. At first, I loved it, it felt amazing.
At first, I loved it, it felt amazing.
I had left my light on in my room, with the youtube video I was watching paused. It was a channel that creates alien stories about how awesome humans are. I had thought about turning it off for my trip but figured I'd be fine and wanted to see what might happen. F around and find out right?
When I opened my eyes the rushing feeling I had felt stopped and I was able to see my room, somewhat blurry, but it was my room. Then I looked at the TV and panic started to seep in. What had I done? Is this the time I've gone too far and I'll never come back? Like my uncle? I saw the cartoon aliens and they were suddenly dressed like police. The thought that this had all been a ruse to finally get caught set in. I knew this paranoia and I told myself "everything is fine. This will pass, I just have to wait it out."
I stood up, that was a mistake. How long have I been standing here? I looked at the TV again before grabbing the remote and turning it off. Did I black out? Was I causing a scene? What time is it? Oh god it's 5am? Where did the time go? What's happening? I need my brother. He knows I'm a dumbass so he won't judge and I can feel better sitting with him.
I open my bedroom door. Am I peeing? Is the floor wet? Are my pants wet?
Am I peeing? Is the floor wet? Are my pants wet?
I got my bravery together and walked down to the basement to tell my brother what I did. I still wasn't sure what time it was, but now I'm starting to remember. It had been before dinner time that I took this. It must still be evening. Is my brother even back from walking the dog? He wasn't.
I went back to my dark room and laid there for a bit before grabbing my phone because I felt like I could control myself now and wouldn't do something dumb. I set a timer. OK, now we can know how long it's been to a degree. I'm coming down now and starting to relax. I can pee now, let's go to the bathroom. It's been 4 minutes, we're OK. My brother will be back with the dog and no one will be the wiser.
I decided to check online and read some bad experiences. Everyone else had a sitter with them. Should I have had one? Who knows?
As I sit here writing this it has been 33 minutes since I set that timer and I'm still feeling a bit of after effects. Damn that was intense. I was over confident. I'm gonna do it again, but take it slowly like I did with the NN. No sense jumping in the deep end when you don't know how to swim. I really didn't think this pool would be that different. I've been exploring my consciousness for almost 20 years so I know that a bad trip is just a bad trip. Like Donkey said in Shrek "Hey Shrek, let's do that again". I don't know if it'll be tonight but it might be.
Take it easy champ, I didn't think this pool was that different, but it is.
Safe travels my friends!
