The night started out by taking 1.5 grams of mushrooms with 4 other people. The trip started out just like most acid/mushroom trips, light hallucinations and gut rot/cramps and being dry as hell. We were tripping hard probably an hour and a 1/2 after taking our dose.

There was one of us T. that didn't take any mushrooms, wanted to take care of us. The next couple of hours were pretty blurry until I remember him saying 'do you guys even know what you're laughing at?' which was a strange moment of clarity. The trip was awesome until that point, heavy visual effects, heavy laughter, pretty much what it should be like. We were laughing at finger vapors (move your finger, see a trail like slow motion). At one point I look at the TV and see something purple. Instantly everything in the room, furniture, people's faces, everything was purple. I had to go outside to get some air.

The moment I step outside, I realize that it had snowed about a foot since we got there. This must have been 4-5 hrs after we took the mushrooms. I had my dad's truck, I didn't plan on leaving that night, but in my state, I decided that since it was a blizzard that I should get the truck home safely LOL, yeah right. So we all pile into my dad's truck, put it in 4x4 and take off down the road. There had been no plows pass yet, and the truck was standard, full of people and impossible to shift. I end up getting the 4x4 onto the road and into 2nd gear, all of a sudden, lights coming at me. I was like OH FUCK.....first car that passed, cop car. I almost freaked on the spot, They didn't turn around so that kinda calmed me down. Next set of lights, cop car. That put me into a total freak out. At this point, I was just turning into my dad's road (he wasn't home thank christ). I couldn't shift. I was grinding gears, basically wanting to get the fuck out of that truck. I found second gear, and made it into the driveway. We all piled out and the overwhelming sensation that the cops were coming to get me because they knew I was fucked up and was on the road was just too much.

I freaked out and started running through the snow. My girlfriend at the time caught up to me and calmed me down, she had way more experience taking acid/mushrooms than I did. I forgot all about the cops but the sense that this snow storm was the appocolypse wouldn't leave me. When we first got to T's house, there was no snow on the ground at all. At this point there was probably 2 feet on the ground. We took off up the road on foot in t-shirts and were walking through massive snowdrifts all fucked up trying to get to the bootlegger. Mind you this is probably 3-4am at this point. We ended up getting side tracked and building an igloo to have somewhere to go to sit.

The whole trip wasn't bad, but it goes to show you that you have to have someone around that isn't only going to watch over you but to make SURE you are safe. My friend T is still my friend but we don't talk much anymore. One of my other friends that was there on that trip ended up getting killed in a car crash a few years later while on acid. I haven't touched any Hallucinogens since that trip. The accident just reinforced the fact that when on stuff like that I don't have control over what I'm doing or who / what the consequences can be.

You have to realize that it deserves respect and that you have to be in a safe place that is familiar to you with people that you TRUST. Be careful.....it's not all fun......
