NC'd for this!
My DSis were talking about our heady young days and the 'dabbling' we did Confused
For the record, I'm talking a few episodes of stupidity many many years ago, and am not in any way endorsing drug use, in fact this thread could be seen as more of a cautionary tale.
She told me that once she took magic mushrooms and had a completely awful experience where she felt nothing was real and she would be stuck in the 'dream' forever. She honestly never thought she'd get out. Never did it again.
I had a horrible experience on pills when I thought I was two different people. I kept switching between the two people and it was awful, I had no idea who I was or what was happening and it lasted about 3 hours Sad Never touched anything ever again, that was about 15 years ago.
What's your worst experience?

I was about to come and say piriton doesn’t agree with me at all but I’ve clearly misjudged the content!

Pizotofen (sp) for migraine.
Gave me fucking night terrors you wouldn't believe.
Horrible stuff.

Mrsjayy · 23/09/2019 15:35

I saw ginormoys spiders when i was on Morphine it was horrific but that really isn't what you are on about also piriton doesn't agree with me either Grin

I've never taken recreational drugs, but I had an horrendous reaction to some prescribed ones.

I was warned I might feel a bit dizzy, however I was not prepared for what I can only describe (after seeing portrayals on tv) as tripping out!

Fuck me it was awful, and people do that shit for fun!

TheQueef · 23/09/2019 15:42

I've never had a reaction to ANY drug like that before.
I was on the landing dragging my Dad away from school bullies. They had to wrestle me.
It was awful.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 23/09/2019 15:42

I'm afraid I had a fantastic time on recreational drugs and never had a bad night.

Don't do it any more but I do look back with fondness.

getoutofthatgarden202 · 23/09/2019 15:42

Freaked out on a pill at a club years ago and ended up locked in the toilet cubicle for a good few hours afraid to leave !! Finally calmed down and ended up having a great night tho ahahah!

Did something else once that we were told was mdma - it bloody wasn't - think it was probably speed or something and me and my housemates were awake for 3 days and felt awful - I actually thought i might die!! That was the end of it all for me!

Mrsjayy · 23/09/2019 15:43

Good lord thequeef that sounds terrifying

Surfskatefamily · 23/09/2019 15:50

Many very fun times personally. But my flatmate spiked me with ketamine, I couldn't even walk I was so zonked. It was like my feet were glued to the floor.
I tried to play need for speed (the car game) and I honestly thought I was in a police chase

janj2301 · 23/09/2019 15:51

I took Keto tables to help loose weight, started having really bizarre dreams, not nightmares. Looked on line and apparently it's a common side effect.

ElizaPancakes · 23/09/2019 15:53

Either the time I smoked a joint with friends and got completely paranoid, or the time when I had half an e and spent the night shivering uncontrollably and shitting blood Confused. My friend who took the other half was fine and had a whale of a time!

The e episode I honestly hadn’t thought of till now - I can’t believe I wasn’t bothered enough to do anything! (I just went to bed early)

ElizaPancakes · 23/09/2019 15:54

Loads of times smoking weed, plenty of coke as well where I was find btw!

Greybeardy · 23/09/2019 15:55

My worst experiences all relate to trying to resuscitate people who aren’t as good at pharmacology as they thought. I suspect that’s not what you mean though.

DamonSalvatoresDinner · 23/09/2019 16:00

I was always anti-drugs. Couldn't give a shit what anyone else in my friendship group did but I always said no.

A couple I worked with tried to get me to take something. I said no thanks, it's not my thing. She asked for a drink of my Dr Pepper and then handed it back sniggering. I didn't think much of it.
It wasn't til they'd dropped me off home, alone in the middle of the night, when my heart started to pound, I was sick and dizzy and I was, quite frankly, terrified. The next week I discovered they'd put something in my drink cos I apparently needed to loosen up and not be a snob. I lived completely alone with no family nearby. Had anything bad happened they wouldn't have found me for at least a week.

Junkie twats.

At a tunnel rave in Germany, ended up doing LSD instead of E and couldn't then go into the tunnel because the orange lights for the first 5 meters freaked me out. Waste of a night's dancing.

Mostly, I've had brilliant times on illegal drugs. The comedowns were what put me off but hangovers have also put me off drinking to excess. I was always a social drug taker and a social drinker - and I always followed the advice to never to take drugs or to drink if you're in a bad place. If you are sad then it's best to stay sober.

Itsallpetetong · 23/09/2019 16:06

Some lowlife spiked my drink with acid when I was 18 in Spain. Thought I could fly and ‘flew’ off the second floor balcony and spent a couple of nights in a terrifying hospital where nursing staff held me down, naked & screaming and showered me with freezing cold water and actually slapped me.

Gottobefree · 23/09/2019 16:07

Acid at a festival. Took me 2 hours to get into my pjs & in the sleeping bag .... everything was weird, glowing, shapes and funny.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 23/09/2019 16:08

I've had my fair share of recreational drugs in my youth. Didn't get on with weed as it made me agitated and paranoid, so stopped smoking it. My worst experience with drugs was Nurofen + codeine for dental pain. Omg the nausea! Never doing that again. Plain codeine is fine otoh.

Nonstopbuttmachine · 23/09/2019 16:09

Psychedelics were quite popular when I was at university (early 90s). The student union was probably not the best place to go after taking mushrooms though; everyone took on the appearance of pigs and laughing dogs 🐷🐕😮

madcatladyforever · 23/09/2019 16:11

Went to Amsterdam on holidays and thought taking truffles would be hilarious. But a truffle is only a mushroom right? Can't be very strong so I ordered the strongest one Valhalla and ate the whole packet. Bearing in mind I've never taken any kind of drug before.
12 hours later I emerged from under my duvet vowing never to touch anything like that again. I'd visited heaven, witnessed angels singing and was bloody petrified. Never ever again.

pintsizeduck · 23/09/2019 16:12

Weed. Simple weed. I completely zonked. I was trying to text and my fingers didn't feel like they were my own and like they weren't touching anything. I felt horribly sick and zoned out and had to have a nap for two hours until it all wore off.

I haven't touched the stuff since. I hate it.

Have had many brilliant experiences dabbling with magic mushrooms, party cocaine (as in, once in a blue moon) and pills though.

SRK16 · 23/09/2019 16:14

Tried Salvia thinking it would be like weed, but legal (so thought less strong and that I’d just be chilled out). I had no idea it was a hallucinogen and had an absolutely terrifying time- I thought the world was melting. It felt like it went on for hours but was actually only minutes. Never took it again and never went near anything hallucinogenic.

iklboo · 23/09/2019 16:15

No illegal drugs but hated morphine after having my appendix out. I felt like I was inside my head looking out while an imposter played me. Nurses wouldn't take it out even when I pointed out I'd only be taking paracetamol when I was discharged. So I took the drip out myself and refused consent for it to be put back in.

Phycadelicsilhouette · 23/09/2019 16:15

One time many years ago In my teenage years I’d taken magic mushrooms, was having a great time and then while out everything turned evil. Cars and busses had black smoke and were trying to escape and I was convinced there were snipers on top of all the buildings... then walking past a police station there just happened to be a group of officers running out in bullet proof vests with guns into a van. That was it. I was convinced it was the end of the bloody world 🤣
Another time I’d taken 2 ecstasy pills and gone to a party. Somebody genuinely came into the party dressed as Craig David from bo selecta with a little kes on his shoulder shouting “craiiiig David... proper bo I tell thee” with a great impersonation and it was the strangest experience. Then I went out and sat in the car (one of the older boys we were with) and looked down into my paper cup of water and saw loose teeth in the bottom of the cup, called someone over to have a look and they’d gone 🙄🤣

I absolutely never speak of these times in real life and do not encourage drug taking at all.
