Well my friends and I really wanted to shroom one night but everyone was dry so we couldn’t find them.

My friend was like o0o yeah there's these pills calls triple c's that really fuck you up like you trip out and everything. He told me he had taken 32 his first time so I decided to take 16 considering the fact that I'm only 105 pounds. We went to the local drug store and bought 4 boxes of them.

We quickly took them and decided to go park somewhere 'cause who knows what was gonna happen?

My friend who had taken 10 felt it first, she quickly threw up and the next thing I knew, I started blacking out.

Everything was going wild. I had tunnel vision and was seeing sixes of everything. My voice was totally slurred - like I had cotton balls in my mouth or something. We were parked for 5 hours and I could've sworn that it felt like a half an hour.

I decided to get out of the car and go on a walk.

The moment I stepped out of the car everything hit me harder. The sky truly looked like a dome. It really felt like the earth was round and all the plants and trees looked like a Vincent Van Gogh painting. I felt like I was in fucking in never-never land.

I was walking like gumby. I felt like I was wearing moon shoes or something. My vision was completely blurred. It was SCARY. I thought I was seriously going to die. We were all retarded.

When I came home I was on the verge of going to the emergency room but I decided not to 'cause I would've been arrested.

I made myself throw up and drank milk so I could coat my stomach. Nothing was fading. I was still tripping like crazy. I went to sleep, woke up and was still tripping.

My vision had not changed whatsoever. These feelings did not go away till 3 days later.

I looked like the ugliest being ever 'cause my face was like stuck in this angry position. It wouldn’t go back to normal. I'm never doing that again. There's so many other drugs out there that make me feel a whole lot better than risking my life by taking these damn pills.

Worst experience ever.
