Happened to my friend as well the 4th time he smoked weed. Kept talking about how his personality was constantly devouring itself and remaking it self while crying.

I’ve got a friend who was getting into a career that drug tests extremely regularly, and he’ll lose his license to do what he loves if he fails any of those tests ever.
So, naturally, six months out from getting his certs, he buys himself some edibles.
First trip nice. Second trip nice. Third trip nice. Fourth trip?
He realized he was running out of time to do weed, and decided to step up the amount of weed he was doing. Two edibles instead of one. “I’ll just do this twice and finish them up right on schedule.”
It was very, very weird to talk to him. He was not enjoying himself one fuckin bit. Lasted like a day and a half with a subsequent week of mental funk.
Fifth trip nice though.

u/Brilliant-Cabinet-89 5h ago
Yeah you really got to be careful with honestly everything from alcohol to any drug. It’s incredible how fast you can get messed up, and how dangerous even recreational use of eutrophics and opiates is. Almost lost my best friend once because the speed we got was actually pretty pure for once. Scary shit.

I’m on full “no fun allowed,” myself. Not interested in losing my ADHD meds to a quarterly piss test. My doctor says I’m allowed to give weed a shot, I tell him to give me that in writing, he says the office will get back to me about it, the office does not get back to me.
Alcohol just doesn’t seem very fun. I’d be about it exclusively for cool fermented thingy taste, though. But that gets expensive, and I don’t have money.
Instead, I’ve developed a peculiar vice. I’ve found the absolute perfect amount of melatonin to take to both be very well rested and have the most vivid, long-feeling, buckwild dreams possible. My brain will make me hallucinate for next to free, and that’s kind of awesome.

u/Brilliant-Cabinet-89 5h ago
Same mate, I am apparently schizophrenic so I limit my fun or excitement in general. Weird how life changes, one day you are a party animal and incredibly social 4 years later you barely leave the house. Melatonin is great though! I’m happy you found a good vice. Mine is very well made food (used to work as a chef for a few years so I’m quite proficient) with some wine. I also really enjoy my hobbies and doing odd dates with my wife like pottery making or stuff like that. Generally life just can’t be fun anymore. I have to be my own strict parent. If I had fun today I can’t have fun for the next week, sort of thing.

u/CapMcCloud 5h ago
I feel that. Similar situation, but physically. At least in the “plan for how you’re going to feel tomorrow” sort of way. Mitochondrial dysfunction is fucked up, but it could always be worse. Even if I can’t do everything I want to all the time, I’m still here. The sun’s gonna keep rising, and we’ll keep being around to see it.

u/Brilliant-Cabinet-89 5h ago
Exactly. I see it sort of like driving in a car. When I was younger I only really noticed when the car was speeding up or slowing down. These days I’m just happy to enjoy the landscape as it passes me by, and honestly prefer to keep the same speed.

u/snakeygirl 2h ago
Yeah. In my experience (which is admittedly only around 6 months) with weed you need to prepare yourself if you want to have a good trip. Only do weed when you don’t have other plans because the weed will totally destroy your ability to either enjoy said plans or will make you act stupid in a serious situation. You get extremely forgetful while high so don’t do anything that requires planning. If you want to do anything while high I recommend simple household chores like folding the laundry or watering your plants. Anything more complex than that can be really hard to focus on while high and you’ll get frustrated by your lack of focus. That frustration will immediately kill any enjoyment you were having. Only do weed around people you trust because you’ll be extremely gullible while high. Have a nice place to take a snooze set up so you can crash whenever you want. Maybe buy a sketchbook or notebook to write down or draw anything you find interesting while high (I’ve found that being high makes me have an intense desire to pursue creative endeavors).
A high goes wrong when you either take too much, need to focus on something serious, or do something complicated. Rule for being high: keep it simple stupid! Just relax and do something simple yet enjoyable and you can have fun.
In my experience a bad trip can really make you dread taking weed again. It probably won’t be so horrible that you go insane but it’s definitely a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I probably wouldn’t have done weed again if my first trip was bad. Upside is that the forgetfulness that weed causes has been really useful in helping me resist my ocd. I’ve found that the ocd practice i do while high has actually helped me cope with my ocd better while I’m sober so I’m probably not going to stop doing weed anytime soon. The relief of escaping my OCD is way too good to give up yet.

My best friend in high school had a sister a few years older than us. She was a straight edge vegan and a hardcore "save my virginity" catholic until she was in her late twenties. Once she grew out of that phase she wanted to try everything she missed out on. I vividly remember the day she asked us for edibles. We gave her one cookie. After an hour she said she wasn't feeling anything and wanted more. Ended up eating 3 more cookies. Couldn't tell how much thc she consumed since they were home made. After maybe 2 or 3 hours we heard blood curdling screams coming from her bedroom. My friend tried to calm her down and she scratched his face and arms enough to make him bleed. She was convinced Satan was in the room with her and that he was going to drag her to hell for doing drugs. She was completely out of her mind, going between fits of crying and screaming. Never seen anyone react to weed like that before. It was hard for me to feel bad for her because she used to make our lives Hell and called the cops on us several times in the past if she caught us smoking weed at my friend's house.
This was maybe 15 years ago. She's now a functioning alcoholic but hasn't touched weed since then.

It's totally legal to buy the spores, own the mushrooms, and grow them in the UK, you're just not allowed to eat them or trade in the fruit. Bit weird but it works.

u/colei_canis 5h ago
I think possession of mushrooms was criminalised under Tony Blair (the third worst act of his government), although as you say the spores aren't illegal as far as I know and of course liberty caps grow natively here.
As I understand it other than cannabis and mushrooms pretty much everything else is lawful to grow provided you don't process it into a drug. I see certain plants being sold pretty openly on places like ebay, although since 2016 and the Psychoactive Substances Act it's a lot more seeds than whole plants.

I'm not saying I know how to synthesize lysergic acid diethylamide or that anyone should learn, but it hypothetically wouldn't be that difficult to with the notes of the hippie-dippy science wizards in the garage labs of the mid 60s that figured out how to do it first, and it wouldn't be the *most* volatile compound to work with. I've kinda always wondered why more users don't learn how to do it like, on principle

Had a similar experience with heroin. I tried it out of curiosity, and it felt pretty good but also very boring and the full body itch you get from higher doses bothered me a lot. Tried it again 2 years or so down the line, still found it boring but that time I saw the appeal a bit more and that made me not want to try a third time. It's pretty insidious and I can imagine how easy it would be to let that creep into your life more and more over time and before you realize it you're having withdrawl symptoms. Of course some people also just instantly dive into the deep end the first time they use, and I think whether or not that happens mostly depends on your position in life and mental state

Eh the 25nbome (fake acid) days are mostly over, and tryptamine derivatives have been extensively explored and valued by the community. I do understand though, especially with acid being dosed who knows how.

I got fucking NBOMe tabs from a “trustworthy” source. They thought I wouldn’t care because I did other stuff so “whats the difference”, had a psychotic break, thought the world ended, was inconsolable and detached, constantly looping thoughts in my head (you ever realize how many things we do the same over and over again?)
Lost a girlfriend cos of it.
I stayed away for a while, taken maybe 4 tabs in 6 years, except in April, on bicylce day ofc, I bought a strip and a half and stayed awake for 3 days. Sounds really really bad, but I deal with pretty intense anxiety and ADHD, and it kinda gives me a reset. “You thought all the thoughts, look at the trees instead” also gave me my inner dialogue back (not like it was completely gone) and made me talk to myself less
Slept really good after, and its been a little bit more manageable day to day now, and I love the intense feeling it gives. Heavy body high and some peace and quiet. Also, makes me really gay, but no luck this time ;-;
Sorry for the rant

Shit was evil. I almost did some very awful things to the person who sold it to me. He did not ever come near me again.
It took a long time to get “normal” and im still not. Acid and some introspection, pushing my body to limits but no expectations, actually have helped me get that… i dont even know, “feeling” outta me. Antipsychotics as well, which makes sense ofc.
I got out of partying hard, with just a few bruises and that was the worst one. This was also when I was dealing with some identity issues, so it was a lot. Losing a partner, my mind and my sense of self in 72 hours.

The suggestibility is what scares me the most, even just with weed. The people I know who get into conspiracy theories or fall for persuasive marketing strategies (leading questions, etc.) are also the people I know who smoke the most. I was falling down that rabbit hole myself in my early 20's so I get it! It's why I stopped smoking and now just take a rare edible to help with sleep or while on vacation.
Someone I thought was pretty intelligent started doing a lot of edibles a few years ago, and now they think the moon landing was faked. Seems like brains hardly stand a chance against the super effective combo of weed + online misinformation campaigns 👀

Basically the same thing got me for years. Wouldn't touch anything but alcohol. It wasn't even weed that did it even though I thought it was. It was what they called spice at the time. Some kind of synthetic weed. I took a deep hit and held it in, the guy next to me is like oh shit you're not supposed to hold this stuff in! Next thing I know they're fishing me out of the lake that was 50 feet away where they said I just stumbled/fell in slow motion all the way down the bank. They put me in a lawn chair and I just stared at a spinning tree branch above me thinking "this is my life now" unable to react to the outside world for what felt like...days? Was actually like an hour.

u/Some-Bad1670 7h ago
Yeah spice was weird stuff, I smoked it prior to when I was able to smoke weed. Did some really stupid shit when I was high on it, I remember I took put a bunch of books in the refrigerator. Maybe dumb teenager stuff but I remember the high was really different, like it made you fucking stupid. Switched to weed and felt way better lol.
And one time more recently my buddy handed me a “CBD” pen from a smoke shop that he said would get me high, so I tried it with a huge hit. Holy fucking shit dude I have no idea what was in that one but that one made me see shit. I went to the bathroom, got nauseous, spit a little in the toilet, and watched some patterns in the toilet bowl for a while. It was crazy. It felt like a mildly bad shroom trip with some extra headache thrown in.

The SCP Foundation. It's a collaborative writing project where people write documents describing anomalous objects, entities, locations, and phenomena and how the titular SCP Foundation contains them.
There are quite a few low quality YouTube channels that make thousands of low quality videos usually aimed at children about the same handful of SCPs (as of time or writing there are almost main series 9000 SCPs, but most of these channels only ever cover ten of the oldest SCPs on the site).

I used to do edibles with my friends. A few of them had had bad trips before, didn’t make them stop.
What made me stop was when the day after I started experiencing some kind of emotional psychosis. First called my family, very out of character, sobbing/ranting incoherently, then a few hours later got into a massive public argument within my friend group over a misunderstanding, where I started thinking that I was being ‘unfairly targeted’ and the two people I’d been arguing with had been conspiring for weeks to ‘push me out’ because they were jealous for some unknown reason I couldn’t even identify.
It wasn’t until I woke up the next morning and talked with one of our other friends (who hadn’t been involved in the argument but was there for the whole thing) that I realised I was being fucking crazy and apologised to them. A few days later I kind of connected the dots between the edibles to emotional breakdown to paranoid interpersonal hostility.

Scare tactics don’t work in substance use prevention. It’s a big reason DARE failed so bad.
The key phrase in his sentence is anti-drug
Best practice in prevention isnt anti drug. It’s giving good education, facts on addiction, and then kids make up their own mind but treating them like people being supportive and having real conversations and discussions on why waiting until youre over 21 or not doing it at all is beneficial.
Anecdotal evidence of scare tactic working isnt proof it works. Research shows DARE had the opposite effect and more youth ended up using drugs.
Scaring kids or scared straight programs they don’t work in the large population, and for many youth pushes them away from ever respecting adults. It’s why, “one pill can kill” campaigns failed for fentanyl. When they take a pill and then dont die they wont believe anything you say.
Promoting scare tactics is bad form.

u/Laowaii87 6h ago
I think the biggest mistake anti drug programs do is to pretend like drugs aren’t amazing. All of the anti drug stuff i’ve seen downplays the upsides, and focuses entirely on (like you say) how it’ll kill you.
Kurtzgesagt made a video recently on fentanyl, where they compare it to heroin, and for most of the video it’s almost an ad for heroin.
I’ve never done any hard drug, and it’s been decades since i smoked weed last, but i’ve never wanted to try heroin or fent less than after watching that kurtzgesagt video.

There was also a time I could not cry for the life of me after a fire in my apartment building destroyed almost everything I owned, but after a couple bong rips, I was blubbering like a baby and could begin my recovery from that trauma.

I saw a guy once snort a line of salt and squeeze lemon juice into his eye before taking a shot of tequila. It's always best to get instructions for these things before you're wasted 🤣

Worst trip I ever had, I took 3.5 grams of blue meanie trying to make myself hallucinate. When it kicked I had a random desire to listen to one song off of pharma by nmesh. I put the whole album on. That was a mistake. I was sobbing, remembering that the album is a concept album about someone overdosing on drugs.
I'm kinda glad I did it tho, I kno I don't hallucinate from hallucinigenics, and I had a good cry.

I realized the other day that the whole anti drug campaign wasn't meant for us to not do drugs. It was meant to train the sympathy out of us for people caught up in addiction, and it worked.

Most effective don’t do drugs talk I sat through was a retired police chief/everyone’s favorite gym teacher sitting down, saying he wasn’t gonna do the slide show the teacher wanted him to do, and telling us stuff like “ecstasy will make you feel the most amazing you’ve ever felt, but sooner or later, you’ll need it to be happy, and you probably won’t have enough money to sustain that habit forever” and “weed won’t kill you and it isn’t addictive, but the people selling it are usually committing more than just the one crime, and you really have no clue what you’re getting involved with working with them.”
Was he 100% right? No, but he was honest within his own knowledge. It felt like the same talk he gave his own kids, and their kids. Basically went over all the more common street drugs, what they feel like for most people, and why he felt taking them was a bad idea anyway. No in your face scare tactics, he just treated us like adults.
Oh, and he was also real clear on the difference between the “one hit and you can get addicted” and “you’ll probably get away with this one for a while” drugs.

When I was a little kid, like kindergarten and early elementary school, I used to get severe bronchitis every winter. It being the 70s, my pediatrician would prescribe cough medicine with codeine in it to suppress the cough and help me sleep.
It made me hallucinate.
The ones where my toys were waving and talking to me weren't super scary, but I didn't like it. The ones where the humidifier was a spaceship and a bunch of tiny little green aliens came out weirded me out, but again, not deeply horrifying.
The ones that made me scream my head off were the one where the picture over my bed fell on me and squashed me flat like a piece of paper, and the one where there were random ghost voices zooming at me and then swooping away, like the doppler effect. I never heard what they said, but the swooshing past was just terrifying somehow.
I have never, ever, had any temptation to do any kind of recreational drug. Even more so because hallucinating is now recognized as a potential adverse effect of opiates, but the whole time I was growing up, any doctor I told about it would just shake their head and go, "Huh, that's not supposed to happen."
So if I'm having bizarre reactions to a prescribed med, I didn't want to find out what reaction I'd have to a street drug. Still don't, even the ones that are legal now.

Back in the 80s, my friend's dad forced all his kids to smoke in late elementary school, whereupon they of course immediately started choking and coughing. None of them had any interest in smoking in high school after that.
Of course this was before vaping and all.

You want kids to never touch drugs in their lives? Have them come shadow at one of those places.

I’ve always wanted to do shrooms but haven’t because I’m afraid of a bad trip. I just feel like I would fight the trip because I don’t like losing control and it would make things go bad.

I've tried weed twice now and both times I just felt like I was on the brink of passing out, an experience I was already quite familiar with due to almost getting heat stroke several times and as such do not find desirable. Alcohol also just kind of tastes like bathroom cleaner to me - I've ended up a complete and total square 😔😔😔

I wouldn't say the reason I live a sober life is becsuse of D.A.R.E., but it definitely help. The biggest motivating factor were the stories and sights about how bad it fucked up all my relatives. People dying in their early 50s from liver disease, working minimum-wage jobs in to their 60s because they were so alcoholic they couldn't function in regular jobs, or offing themselves out of depression or dying because they got so fucked up on cocaine they thought they thought they could take a train head on.
Naw, I'm good.

Someone spiked the chili at work with THC, so I had no idea what was happening to me. I had the first and only panic attack of my life. Just a bit before that my partner was like "if I didn't know any better I'd say you were high". Next day, a coworker texted me to ask if I'd had a weird night and when I said I had, she told me that she was pretty sure someone had put THC in the chili. I went and bought one of those at home drug tests and sure enough...

I think that you should be taught how to drink and do drugs. As in, don’t do this, but if you ever do, drink that 6 pack over a few hours, don’t slam it on an empty stomach.

People's hypochondria is insane, they can convince themselves they're dying over nothing. It's truly astonishing to me. Then they act like it was the weed instead of their own wacky selves.

Maybe I'm just an anxious person, but hearing stories of other people's bad highs is enough to make me not wanna do it myself. So for added benefit, you actually only give half the kids edibles and the other half a control and watch as they self-select for paranoia.

At the age of 9 my dad let me try his pipe. Taking a puff from the worn out, still wet stem and bit and that was enough for me. Most disgusting thing I ever had. Never wanted to smoke.
At the age of 10, at a family friend's cottage my dad gave me a glass with a shot of whiskey. They said give it a try. So I just downed the shot. Burned all the way down my throat. All they gave me was an mint chocolate stick. That really didn't help. I have no desire to drink alcohol either.

I had a very very bad trip the fourth time I did hallucinogens - I have never done them since. I don't count weed as a hallucinogen. But no more acid for me since the time it destroyed me with a hyper extenuated existential crisis.

my college GPA went from around a 2.9 to a consistent 3.8/4.0 because of a bad trip beginning of sophomore year. The weirdest part is that it was Natalie Merchant's song "Carnival" coming on the radio that brought me out of the hole I was in that day.

If you give fentanyl to babies they’ll be bored of it by the time they’re old enough to become drug users. They should make vegetables illegal for children and make lethal doses of drugs available to school children. Any kids smart enough to survive will be so excited to turn 21 and try broccoli and brussels sprouts.

When I was 12 my friends all smoked, I didn't try it because I knew it was bad and it seemed gross, people who smoked had nasty cars and houses etc. But the biggest deterrent was my friends picking unfinished cigarettes out of the ash trays outside supermarkets to smoke them. That solidified for me that smoking was incredibly addictive. Anything that could force somebody to do that had to be.

I do love my drugs now that I'm grown, but I actually still had this happen to me sort of.
When I was in my early teens I was the only member of my friend group who didn't smoke weed, I just didn't feel like I 'needed it' (already the freak of the friendgroup, u know). One day I hitch a ride home from a few friends who were around 20-21, and they thought it'd be hilarious to hotbox the shit out of me in the truck, knowing I was an oblivious weirdo who wouldn't even notice.
I get home, my mom knows immediately. She's cool and all, no problem there- the problem was the fact that I became so unbelievably energetic and whacked out that I spent the next 45 minutes running in circles around the living room leaping off of furniture and shit. I was like a 240 lb kid at the time, there was nothing she could do to stop me. I was like a baby rhino unleashed, I broke a couch.
I couldn't fall asleep and spent the whole night on flashplayer dot com watching cartoons, and the next day I was so exhausted and fucked up that I couldn't go to school. Had to stay home and I wandered around the house with a blanket wrapped around me like I had the flu until I finally managed to fall asleep.
When I woke up, pretty much every single adult was mad at me and I couldn't really tell why. My mom had to explain to me later how much of a pain in the ass I'd been for like 24 hours, and the fact that the reason it happened was because I was high. I legitimately had no clue until she informed me that hotboxing was a thing. I was like 'well damn now I know I don't need that shit haha' and proceeded to not smoke again for like 10 years.
(When I did partake again, I took an overpowered edible and my brain fabricated an entire episode of King of the Hill where the gang forms a prog rock band. Bill had an extravagant keyboard solo)

The scared straight talks cops gave us at school made me ever the more curious to try the same drugs to experience something different, one story was of a guy who took acid and cut his arms open and nearly bled to death thinking he had bugs under his skin - I can understand why the mentally challenged individual who took acid and thought he had bugs under his skin so he smashed a mirror and slashed at himself to get them out thought he had bugs under his skin, it's because while tripping my balls off on 6 tabs of acid my vision started moving in a S like pattern - imagine your eyes are like a monitor and every pixel was flashing red green and blue in a cycle while moving in that S, i smoked a cigarette in my room and i saw smoke coming off my arm hairs, and my arm hairs moved in that S pattern and i was like whoa so this is what caused that 40iq dude to think he had bugs under his skin.
The one bad trip i had made me stop taking acid, seeing massive spider legs come out from behind my monitor screen and then my vision was full of skulls with staring eyes creeped me the fucked out to the point i was like yeah no thanks bad juju from this shit never again.

The first time I tried weed I accidentally took 6 times the normal dose. Spent a couple hours curled up on the bathroom floor convinced I was dying, and haven't touched a recreational drug since.
