What's the worst drug experience you've ever had?

[FieldsOf]

NC'd for this!
My DSis were talking about our heady young days and the 'dabbling' we did
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 Never touched anything ever again, that was about 15 years ago.
What's your worst experience?

I was in my second year of university staying over with my best friend who made pot brownies.
I wanted to try it.
I just remember we were laughing stupidly then I was convinced she was my mother and I was back in London. I couldn't stop crying and I kept saying that I wanted to die. (huge back story with depression).Worse still I went out the next morning to class.
I had huge memory gaps. I was in places but didn't know how I got there and I was chatting crap.

Another friend thankfully saw me and took me home with her.

NEVER AGAIN.

Had a ‘legal high’ once when I was 16, I believe it was supposed to mimic the effects of ecstasy. I couldn’t stop chewing my face off or moving my whole body backwards and forwards whilst laying down to the extent I got severe leg cramps. Wouldn’t stop talking either, I don’t think I’ve ever spoken so much in my life.

I felt so terrible the following day too, absolutely nothing could help me sleep and it was all I wanted to do. It was just the worst thing ever, I never tried anything else as a result.

definitely worst time was after a great weekend of E at a festival, I decided to get some speed to get me home, and ended up having what felt like a heart attack. Terrifying. Its possible that it was just a very extreme panic attack, but my hand started going into a claw that I couldnt move. I was properly freaking out. I started screaming at my ex to get me to hospital and that I was dying. He wouldnt do it. He just took me home, carried me in and gave me a valium which helped. I still feel angry when i think about it. Its always better to be busted than buried. I still feel I could have died.

Other terrible experience was on edible cannabis. I didnt get my dosage right and had a horrible hours long panic attack in the middle of bloody rural france. It did pass, but was quite unpleasant and nothing made me feel better and I couldnt even sleep. I dont think you can die from cannabis, but it wasnt nice, and im really careful now with edibles. Shook me up.

Also I remember having alcohol poisoning as a teenager that was just so so awful. Couldnt stop spinning or being sick and wretching all night. Wanted to die.

Ive had a few negative experiences, but also a lot of really brilliant ones, but im really respectful and careful with all drugs these days, and hardly ever do more than a bit of weed to help me sleep. I dont really even drink alcohol nowadays as it doesnt agree with me.
I do miss partying a bit though, but I dont have time for comedowns or hangovers. Theres always too high a price to pay

These are powerful substances they can bring great joy but they can also bring very bad experiences, they should be treated with respect and used cautiously.

@thenewaveragebear1983 same for me on ketamine. It was like seeing the world through a smashed mirror and time slowed to treacle. Thankfully I was with my uni housemates and safe though I did apparently roller skate to the local garage wearing a fur coat at 7am so...

Mostly had a lot of fun with pills, hate speed and freaked out the one and only time I took mushrooms. Could take it leave weed. Mostly left it.

Gave everything up apart from the odd pill and bit of coke once in a blue moon in my late twenties.

These stories are bringing back memories!

Used to half a pill, took a whole one one time and had to leave the club /get air. Sat outside in a urine stained doorway (the glamour ) and some guy asked if I wanted to go back to his and that he wouldn't hurt me . I started walking then thought 'what the fuck am I doing?!'

Second, was in a car with someone else driving who was off their face. Spent the journey thinking how lovely the streetlights were as we sped past them.

How I survived some of these things I do not know.

I take absolutely nothing now and haven't for many years!

Had a bad mushrooms trip once and I forgot how to speak English My inner voice for my thoughts was using made up words and was the voice of Winnie the Pooh

Thought the security guard in my building was trying to kill me when I did some LSD and locked myself in my room and buried under the covers. Was nervous and jumpy for days afterwards.

Both incidents were over 15 years ago. I don’t do anything like that anymore.

Taking MCat at a festival. My tongue went into spasm and the sensation went all the way up my head. I had no choice but to lie there through the pain. I thought that was it for me and there was nothing I could do. Never touched it again.

Took liquid acid once. Had no idea what I was getting in for.

Honestly none.
I've had a truckload, literally. I've taken evry number and letter in drug form pretty much.
Yet I only have fun, great memories. Its cos i never took with idiots who wanna scare people or pass on bad drugs. We tested them, we were selective about who with and where we took

Now drinking disasters......... there many

@Bezalelle the mental image of your story made me laugh

Took dihydacodience (not sure of the spelling) once and I was wiped out for hours with an achy neck, spewing, dizziness and knocked me into a deep sleep.
Took codeine after giving birth, to help me deal with the pain from my episiotomy. We went shopping and I felt as weak as a kitten and shaky I had to leave the supermarket and go home.
Also took tablets to help me quit smoking and was violently sick from those.

Had a few bad paranoid episodes from smoking joints when I was younger. I felt like people could read my thoughts and could barely move. I tried it again a few years ago when going through a stressful time, a friend reassured me it would help me relax, my heart was racing so fast I really thought I was going to die.

My worst experiences have all been alcohol related though. Put myself in so many vulnerable situations, especially when It's mixed with smoking joints.

I try not to take any medication now. If I have a migraine or pains I will try to sleep it off or withstand it as long as possible before I reach for the paracetamol.

All good on recreational. No bad ones.

Some of these posts sound horrifying. To be fair I never did some of the stronger stuff.

I only did weed and hash, some coke and speed once (that did nothing for me) so I hadn't done some of the harder lsd and e's listed by some posters.

I had my drink spiked with something (I don’t know what) and thought I was turning into a dog. I had scratches on my arms the next day where I’d tried to pull out the thick coat of ginger and white fur. I also went outside naked and cocked my leg to pee.

The following day I was too ill to lift my head.

Bastards.

Almost 20 years ago went to Amsterdam with a mate. Went out, drinking beers and smoking joints. Met up with another guy my mate knew who lived in Amsterdam. Late in the evening he suggested we get some magic mushrooms. Did that and had such a brilliant night.

So as soon as my mate and i rolled out if bed the next day we went straight to the mushroom shop. Brought them back to our hostel and took them but nothing really happened. An hour or two later we cut our losses and lit up a joint. Terrible idea. It triggered something with the mushrooms and we both had the worst trips. I just wanted to get back to my bed but kept blacking out on the way. Finally made it to bed and spent the next 3-4 hours thinking i was going to die. I can't remember the details, i just remember the feeling. Once we both straightened up we were knackered, stuck to beer for the rest of the holiday.

Didn't put me off drugs, but i did hallucinogenic drugs in smaller doses and avoided pot from that day.
