At the time of writing this report I have had plenty of LSD trips and have been smoking cannabis for a good portion of my adolescence. No other LSD or LSD with cannabis experience has ever came close to this one. In November of 2019 I was just getting around to trying LSD. I had been smoking weed for about the last 2-3 years and I was looking for something different. LSD was on my list of things to try anyways and me and my friends were just starting to see it around the city. I decided that one night me and my friends should trip at my house. We had no clue what we were getting into, but we all decided to take a tab and ended up having an amazing time. We mostly just felt euphoric with slight visuals.

I was immediately hooked and told my other friend who lived out of town about it. He had never tried it and I thought it would be a blast with him. We planned a day that I could go out there and we could trip. We found a day, but we had no acid. My friend, being a pretty avid drug dealer, said he knew a guy we could get some from. We got the acid and headed back to his house. I took my tab immediately and he was going to wait since his girlfriend was still home. When I took the tab I remember being very excited and impatient. When we got home we sat in this mini shed/ house. It was not very insulated and was very cold. It did have a tv and bed out there which kept us occupied.

About 30-60 minutes after dropping I started feeling it come on. Initially I was very excited because I could feel it, but that excitement slowly left me as I started growing delirious. I remember shivering uncontrollably, but not knowing I was cold. This started to scare me as I was very confused. Then shortly after that the ceiling became very bright. Instead of a yellow light it gave off more of a blue light. I don't remember what made me think this, but at that moment I was almost certain I was in a movie. I was certain that my whole life was just a movie set and I was being recorded the whole time. This gave me severe paranoia and caused me to become even more confused.

I was not vocalizing any of this to my friend or his girlfriend as I thought they would make fun of me or something.

Right after the thought of being in a movie took over my head, I could see camera men and directors running passed the corner of my vision. Almost like the cameramen were trying to get a new angle or something. This also started to scare me uncontrollably for obvious reasons. My friend could start to tell something wasn't right with me. When he asked me I told him that I keep seeing people run passed. My friend being a decently big drug dealer at the time started becoming concerned as he thought I was serious. He frantically started checking the windows and around the shed to make sure no one was there. When he realized there was no one he said "What the fuck are you talking about? You need to chill the fuck out" and gave me a shove onto the bed.

I remember feeling scared, embarrassed, ashamed, and all around just not good. I apologized and he replied with something that pretty much told me to just stop talking. Out of nowhere the lights were off and my friend and his girlfriend were going to sleep. No one told me they were going to sleep so this confused me as it was only around 8pm on a weekend. I figured the only thing left for me to do was to go to bed so I climbed in bed with them. Cold, scared, and confused I laid in bed with my eyes closed just trying to imagine how anyone could sleep right now. Colors, shapes, and fractals filled my brain like never before. This is when it finally hit me that maybe I wasn't on acid. I remember thinking "This is nothing like before." These thoughts then started turning into "How could anyone ever survive this?" or if I did survive how was I ever going to be the same again. This caused extreme anxiety as I completely thought I was going to die right there. This is easily one of the most stressful times of my life. My brain was going absolutely insane and I had no idea how to stop.

I remember eventually feeling upset and angry and just accepting it. I remember thinking "If this is it then this is it" and just letting myself go. I could feel all my organs slow down and my heart rate drop. I knew this was it. I eventually saw a very deep darkness come in from the corner of my closed eyes and slowly narrowing in to the center. As unreal as this sounds right before The darkness fully took over my friend shook me, waking me up. I opened my eyes and the lights were back on and my friend and his girlfriend were out of the bed. He said something like "cmon bro let's do something" in an upbeat kind of way which immediately gave me a sense of security. He was just starting to feel it and was feeling good. We ended up smoking a couple blunts and playing gta 5.

I ended up having a great night and forgetting the whole thing even happened till the next day. That is when it really hit me how scared I was in that moment. Music helps everything.
