"I know I was a stupid fuck"

A first-time tripper ends up in the hospital

Substances: LSD

This was my first (and last) time on acid, and I was alone, and it was 3.5 hits. I know I was a stupid fuck, but I can't change what happened now, so let me just tell you about it.

I've used ketamine and dextromethorphan in high doses, and have been fine with it, and even though I knew ketamine and DXM weren't like LSD, I figured I was mature and strong enough to take a few hits of acid and be alright with myself. So, I got some acid in the mail from someone I know on IRC. One single hit, and five hits in a strip without markings. I took the single and about half of the strip, and went on IRC. I talked to some people for a while about LSD until I started feeling it, then went up to my bedroom. I lay down on my bed until I really started to feel it, seeing patters in the wood of my bed, the wall, the sheets. It was very fun, watching patters in things. And the colours started to show up stronger, pink, and orange and green and purple tinges to everything.

Then I woke up. In a hospital.

All that I'm about to tell you I don't remember, but it's what my parents tell me happened. My dad, who works the night shift and gets home around 2:00am came home and found me in the downstairs bathroom with the water running, me babbling all sorts of things including "lysergic acid diethylamide", "I am God", and "pleasure is the meaning of life". I wouldn't open the door so he had to break it open, hurting his hand in the process. He and my brother had to hold me down, I was flailing my arms around ans shit, and put some clothes on me. My mom called an ambulance, rifled thru my drawers and found the leftover LSD, as well as other drugs I had in there, DXM, Dexedrine, and codeine. I was taken in the abulance, restrained, to the hospital. At the hospital, not knowing what drugs were in me, they shoved a tube into my stomach via my nose and pumped me full of activated charcoal solution to absorb any drugs that might be in me. They also took a bunch of blood, injected me with something, and shoved a catheter up my dick so that I could piss in bed. They stuck those little wires all over me too.

So, I wake up in the hospital, my mom's there with me, and being confused at being in the hospital, I tell her I'm fine, and want to go home. She tells me I'm not fine, tells me a bit about what happened (I'd hear more later from both my mom and dad), and I go back to sleep, hoping it's a bad dream. I wake up again, and my mom's gone. I rip the catheter out, and take those stickers that earlier had wires attached to them off, put on some clothes--underwear my mom brought since they cut my other ones up, and my pants, socks and shoes--I had no shirt because they cut that up too, but my mom didn't bring me another one. I ask someone where the bathroom is, and use it, pissing some blood from having the fucking catheter in me. I walk back to the bed, and sleep some more. I wake up, the hospital people move my bed to another place, and I get up and go to the bathroom again. Then sleep again. Then my dad comes to the hospital. I talk to him, begging him to take me home, he has to wait for the stupid doctor to be finished with someone else first. She comes and talks to me about what happened and finally I go home, in a hospital shirt. And then I sleep lots.
