Guy takes mescaline, confuses hallucinations for conversion experience

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I've heard the minions of Satan talking while on drugs too, except I came to a different conclusion than this guy (I realized what was going on kicked back and enjoyed the cheesy horror movie):

Some of the comments are interesting.

This one is probably the funniest:

I'm 70 and never did drugs in my entire life. Maybe I should have and now I would believe in God.

It is interesting to note the anger that some of the older people have toward this guy saying that he wasted his parents' time in money because he was taking drugs in college, even though, to be honest, he seems to be kind of an amateur about it, and probably didn't take any drugs many times after this experience. Not that I was ever an expert on getting high, since the most I ever did was smoke weed on the weekends in senior year of high school, but again, when I I started seeing and hearing guys talking to me about Hell, I nodded my head and went, "ah, someone laced my shit. Well. Time to watch what my brain wants to show me." But it seems a little unfair for them to characterize this guy as someone who wasted a lot of time. Chances are when they were in college, they either drank a lot or were pretentious douchebags.

Makes me wonder what I'll put directly after "back in my day..." 40 years from now.

Back in MY day, kids were SERIOUS about drug abuse.  There was none of this "I tried it once and I saw God"...Shit, we saw God THREE TIMES A WEEK.  He never had much to say, though.

Probably because he knows that whatever he says will be twisted into some reason to kill a bunch of people. 


I wonder though too if there's a certain mentality about it.

Demon: Hey kid, wanna see Hell?
Brad Miner: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! :runs home:
Girlfriend: It's the drugs dude.
Brad Miner: :Catholic:


Demon: Hey kid, wanna see Hell?
Twid: Yeah man that would be pretty fucking Metal.
Demon: Really? Cool! Play this album!
Twid: Can't find it dude. :disappointed:

Couple of times, back in the day, when I was tripping out my skull, I saw god and I understood just how fucking deranged I'd have to be before I believed in any of that shit. And that was kind of comforting.

Then, some years later, I found myself that deranged and, sure enough, I had a major religious persecution complex going on. And that was less comforting.

Then, some time after than I got my head straight and I haven't seen, heard or believed in god or demons or baby jesus since.

I'd hate to be that fucked up, ever again.

God is madness.

Yeah, he mostly just laughed at us. 

Is this just an IME thing, or is it mainly assholes who tend to freak out when they trip? Something about their psychology, they can't handle it?

[Epimetheus]

I would say if you're prone to freak out (anxious/nervous/self-doubt/paranoid) sober, you're prone to freak out tripping. may well be an oversimplification though.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I think id disagree with that. Im a pretty nervous guy by nature and i think the only time i freaked out was another time my shit was laced and i didnt know what was going on- only that my body felt like it was going haywire.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

And thats a different thing. I can rationalize seeing and hearing weird shit but if i feel that my body is actually in some sort of danger and is suffering some sort of side effect then even if its imagined im not going to brush it off as easily.

We'd be having a blast and there was always some tard looking in the mirror saying things like "COME HERE! SOMEBODY! I'M TURNING INTO A ROBOT! GOD HELP ME JESUS I'M SO SORRY PLEASE DONNNNN'T..."

I've only ever had two bad trips. Or at least bad enough to remember.

One of them was on RUM. Just too much rum, was convinced I was a bad father (I am, as of this moment, still the last of my bloodline that can legitimately bear the name).

The other time was weed with an interesting melange that included coke and anti-psychotics.


Question for you. Why is it that when you take anti-anythingyoudonthave you get that thing?


Twid,
had to ask his sister if he was dead that night, got rewarded with a hug and all the ice cream
